Speaking of the congressional issue tc
the Saginaw Courier Herald, Hon. w.
X. Burt said: ''Of course / am out of
politics, but 1 believe that Fordney has
the strongest pull for the nomination,
for the reason that he not only com
mands republican support but demo
cratic as we'll l had not been in the
field two weeks two years ago when
had sized up the situation and knew
just how the thing was going"
The democrats are watching the pro.
gress of the republican congressional
contest with interest 1--WE are all at
sea as to candidate" remarked lead
ing party man yesterday, "and may
have to go outside of Saginaw county to
find man to take the nomination,
although there does not seem to be any
one in the district who is really banker
ing for it. The names of Hon. George
w. Weadock, Fred w. Carlisle and l..
7. Durand have been mentioned, but it
is not known if either would consent to
run. 1t may be the party will be oblig-
ed to fall back upon Farmer Youmans
of Bridgeport. Saginaw Courier
Herald
A henchman Of Congressman Ford
ney's, and man very near to him, was
asked by News man today, whether
Joe would withdraw from the contest
before the congressional convention, and
throw his influence to Humphrey, as it
is generally reported by the Humphrey
men he will do. With knowing look
on his face, the Fordneyite smiled, and
said: "Well, guess the congressman
will never withdraw from the fight un-
til he has Humphreys scalp dangling
from his belt. Such talk is nonsensical.
Fordney never withdrew from anything
yet, and he isn't going to begin now.
What would be his reason for doing so, :"
he went on to say HE has the renomi-
nation assured now. They talk about
the entire Saginaw county being solid
for Humphrey. Why That's dream.
Humphrey will not get a delegate in the
convention from the west side of the
river for love nor money, and as to the
rest of the county, why Joe has cinch.
They talk about us laying down. WE'LL
We will never do so as long as we have
a drop of blood left in our fighting veins,
and at present they are chuck full of it. "

1t now appears that the Beers are
willing to end the war if satisfactory
assurances are made by Great Britain
that they will be guaranteed a satisfac-
tory amount of local self government
Absolute independence is said to be re-
linquished. A British lord commission
er and a Boer executive, both to reside
at Pretoria are suggested, as are also
British district officers to exercise the
executive powers in the districts into
which the country is proposed to be di-
vided, in connection with district Boer
committees. 1t is to be hoped that the
PLAN which further provides for the re-
turn of all prisoners of war, will be
carried out and that this war which has
cost so much blood on the part of two
of the best peoples on the earth may be
ended.

Pensions for soldiers who have lost
arms or legs or feet are likely to be in
creased fifteen dollars month under
the provisions of a new bill which has
been favorably reported to the house.
The same bill provides for an increase
of ten dollars month for those who
are totally deaf. Although the two in
creases will add about one and third
millions to the appropriations necessary
for pensions the bill should be carried.
The soldiers who fought and suffered
for tie preservation of the union have
not yet been paid too much by this gov
eminent and never will be. 1t is re-
garded as q matter of course that the
men who furnished the money for the
carrying on of that war should be paid
back both principal and interest even
though in the course of paying the in
terest more even than the principal is
paid. The country can never object, as
long as the bondholder receives his dues,
to the governments paying the soldier.
The one loaned his money and got
both security and interest. The other
loaned himself and had no security If
he was fortunate enough to get out him
self he probably lost health which the
government could not replace if it
would. The one, gave something which
he was sure to get back and got paid for
its use The other gave something
which he was almost equally certain not
to get back and the pension which the
deserving soldier receives is sum
which the government owes him more
than it owes the bondholder the interest
on his bond And there should be no
more thought of the pension being a
gift or species of charity than there is
of the interest paid to the fortunate
possessor of government bonds as
charity. Both are debts of the govern
ment which the United States has been
always ready to pay.

Saginaw County for Bliss.
From The Detroit Tribune.


amy claim that Bliss will not get a
a solid delegation from Saginaw county
is all nonsense" said Ralph Loveland,
of Saginaw, chairman of the eighth con-
gressional district republican committee
yesterday, in the Russell house while
in Saginaw within the past day or two,
l talked with Chairman w. r. Kendrick
of the Saginaw city committee, and with
John Baird, chairman of the Saginaw
county republican committee. Both are
out for Bliss. Watts S. Humphrey,
who is opposing Congressman Fordney
for a denomination, and FOrdney him
self, are also for Bliss. The congress;
sional fight in the eighth district has no
bearing upon the gubernatorial fight.
l am for Humphrey myself. There is
an established precedent in our district
that no man shall have more than two
terms in congress, and Humphrey is the
logical candidate for this year.
Humphrey supported Fordney in the
last campaign"
1t occurs to THE TIMES that Mr..
Loveland is somewhat mistaken in his
reference to IAN established precedent"
in this district. Roswell q. Horr, of
Saginaw, was the candidate of the re-
publican party in 1878, 80, 's2, "a, SO
the last three times Shiawassee county
being included as part of the eighth
district. Following Mr.. Horr's defeat
in 1886, Col. A. T. Bliss was nominated
and elected in 1888, defeated in 1890 and
did not seek the nomination again In
1892 and in 1894 Hon. w. S. Linton was
the successful candidate; in 1896, he was
again the nominee but was defeated 1t
will thus be seen that both Congressman
Horr and Linton were nominated for
more than two terms.

he made a record in the cases which he
did bring to trial and became known as
man of no mean powers before a jury.
His, fearlessness and capacity for work
were traits which these two years and
the two years following brought out
strongly. He was reelected in 1894 and
then declined to accept the Office for an
other term, giving his entire attention
to his practice. The only Office which
he has held since then has been that of
city attorney Of Owosso,a position which
he has filed more than acceptably
In political work Mr. Watson has al
ways been active and in 1898 he was
elected chairman of the republican
county committee, position which he
has filed acceptably since that time.
Previously to this, in the same year, he
was appointed member of the advisory
council of the State League of Republi
can Clubs, and has been member of
that important board ever since, taking
an active part in the deliberations and
work of the body In the various state
conventions he has always attracted at
tention and added to his circle of friends.
His work however as chairman of the
county committee in county which
has returned the uniformly large repub-
lican majorities which have gone from
Shiawassee county would alone entitle
him to recognition had he performed no
other services for the party.
II a social way Mr. Watson has been
equally prominent. AS Worshipful
Master of the Owosso Masonic Lodge he
was largely instrumental in securing the
elegant home which the Masonic bodies
in this city occupy at the present time.
His influence in the Corunna Comman-
dry is equally felt and appreciated. In
addition he is a Shriner belonging to
the Detroit branch of the order. His
sympathies are also shared by other
fraternal organizations of which he is a
prominent member.
1t is not difficult to see from the above
sketch that the all round qualifications
of Hon. Frank H. Watson for the Office
of Attorney General of the state of
Michigan are all that could be asked.
1t might be added before leaving the
subject however that his legal attain
ments and experience alone are such as
would enable him to fill the Office with
more than the usual credit. His ex-
perience as the legal advisor of this city,
the attorney for the county, his work
before both the circuit courts and the
supreme court of the state, representing
as he has, not only individuals, but
corporate bodies as well, both public and
private, have given him the necessary
wide experience and breadth of train
ing which the Office of Attorney General
of the state of Michigan should and does
demand of the man who fills it. A
ready thinker, full of anecdotes with
which to settle an argument with good
feeling on every hand, and equally full
Of fight of the fiercest and most stubborn
kind when the occasion demands it.
Frank H. Watson is admirably qualified
for the Office to which he aspires and for
which Shiawassee county hopes, and
asks, and expects to see him nominated.

ABSORBING PROBLEM.
OF the Present Oav.

The absorbing problem of today is,
how to expend ones income so as to at
tain the best results; that is, get full
value for ones money.
1t may truthfully be said that this
has been. is, and always will be an alb
sorbing problem to those with limited
means: but the fact remains that, with
the price of living necessities con-
stantly rising one must husband ones
resources more carefully than ever be-
fore if he would live within his in
come. In saying that prices are rising,
we except one article which has come
to occupy a prominent place in the
family medicine closet, and that is the
specific for piles or hemorrhoids known
as Pyramid Pile Cure; this remedy is
still sold by druggists at the old prices
of fifty cents, and one dollar, and
these prices will remain unchanged.
Those to whom this preparation has
brought relief and a cure after years
of suffering do not need to be told of
it's merits; others are advised that it
is the greatest boon ever discovered, to
all those afflicted with any form of
piles; it is in suppository form. is cas-
lily applied, reaches the seat of the COM
plant. and gives immediate relief and
lasting cure.
The reader may have tried salves,
ointments and lotions without benefit,
and feeling that his money has been
wasted. resolves to suffer on rather
than experiment farther. The reason
for the failure of these treatments is,
that they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. and hence do not remove the
! cause. as does Pyramid Pile Cure. A
little book describing piles, their cause
and cure. is published by the Pyramid
Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, and anyone
may procure a copy by sending name
and address to above firm. AS show
ing the estimation in which this rem
edy is held by the public it may inter-
est the reader to know that it's sales
now exceed those of all other pile
remedies combined. 1881

The Bath Times, Thursday said:
Bath seems to have her share of peo-
pie who do the disappearing act"
William G. King disappeared two
weeks ago last Tuesday, and on top of
that comes the disappearance of Mrs.
Maggie Mitchell. wife of William 2.
Mitchell, who lives on Commercial
street. Mrs. Mitchell left, last Tuesday
morning. on the SIS electric for Port
land where she was to visit the family
of Walter Varney for a few weeks.
Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. Mitchell tele-
phoned 10 Portland to see if his wife
had arrived and was informed by Mr..
Varney that she had not. Wednesday,
Mr.. Mitchell started to look for his wife
but was unsuccessful Mr.. Varney also
looked all over Portland but was I'M
able to find a trace of her. All trace of
the woman is lost and the husband is
nearly distracted. Mr.. Mitchell is a
teamster for the Drummond Coal Co.
and his family live over the offices on
Commercial street. Besides the hus-
band there are four children who are
much disturbed at the mothers long
absence. Mrs. Mitchell is subject to
bad fainting fits and Mr.. Mitchell
fears that she was taken with one of
these while alone and no one has dis
covered her. Up to time of going to
press she had not been found.

BODY STILL WARM.
Brutal Murder Of a Woman al
Reading, Mass.
Body by Roadside, Blood Oozing from
Six Wounds in Head.
Hunters Dog the Deteetive-No Clue
to Murderer.

Reading, Mass, Oct. 3O.--A hunts
mans dog brought to light, Wednesday
afternoon. a foul murder just off a we'll
Travelled highway near the Wakefield
line. The victim was woman. evil
IDENTIFY a tramp. Her identity UP to a
late hour had not been established.
When first discovered by Walter
Locke. whose dog drew him to the spot,
the body was still warm, and blood was
slowly oozing from no less than six
wounds in the head. Five of these
wounds were from pistol bullets. while
the sixth. which had gashed the left
ear and plunged deep into the neck
had been apparently made by some
sharp instrument
There was every indication that the
murder itself had been committed else
where and that the body had been
taken from a wagon and dragged into
the field where it was found. FROM
the number of wounds the local autnor-
tiles are led to believe that the crime
was done in anger.
Locke had been hunting through the
Reading and Wakefield woods and was
coming back toward this town, apou'
2.3O. when his dog suddenly stopped
and began to bark.
An investigation disclosed the body
partially covered with pine boughs
Locke ran to the nearest house, that OF
George Loomis, and word was sent tC
both the Reading and Wakefield police
and Medical Examiner Jack in Mel
rose, When DR.. Jack arrived he pro-
nounced it a case of murder.
The woman was apparently about Il
or 20 years of age. 5 feet, inches In
height, and weighed about 140 pounds
She had brown hair, of a reddish tinge
and brown eyes.
The fact that the body was still warm
leads to the belief that the crime mus
have been committed some time aftel
noon.
Although the place where the body
was found is somewhat remote from
any house, the surrounding country l:
open for a considerable distance, while
the road is particularly straight, which
would give anyone standing on it {
quarter of mile in either direction, {
good chance to see any team which
might be driving along or stopping by
the roadside.
The police are making every effort t.
discover some one who was on the roat
in the afternoon, in the hope of discov
er;ng the team which they are almos
sure brought the body Of the unfortu
nate woman to the place where 1T wa:
found.
As soon as DIR. Jack had made hi:
examination the body was taken to un
dertakins rooms. where an autopsy vii
be performed, tomorrow morning.
Gen. ]. II. Whitney of the state po
lice. arrived, tonight, and will TAX
charge of the case.
