no thought of any other nomination
than that of Henderson. 1t is contend-
ed by some that the matter should have
gone back directly to the primaries and
caucuses. But results are likely to be
about the same.
It is arranged that President Roose-
welt will make several short stops in
the Eighth district on his trip thru
Iowa In addition to stopping at Clar-
india and Van Vert the train will make
stops at Gravity, Clearfield, Tingley and
Osceola. The train is to stop Ave min
.utes at each place. This will give ans
pie opportunity for the people to see the
president.
The statement is made in i the Mt.
Pleasant News that at the recent confer-
eIce Of republicans in the First dis
trict Congressman Hedge offered to
withdraw from the race If his friends
thought it advisable. The statement
is made that he found himself in almost
the same fix as Speaker Henderson,
with many men in his own party feel
ing that he failed to represent the party
and that is why the matter was brought
up. The action of Henderson in retir-
ing from public life has increased rath-
er than diminished the opportunities
for friction in the southeast corner of
Iowa.
John p. Reese, candidate for con-
gress in the Sixth district. has resigned
from the position of president OF the
Mine Workers Union, and will devote
his time to his campaign. He will make
a thorough canvass of the district and
will make hard fight to defeat Major
Lacey. Reese says he will do a great
deal of speaking, especially in the
mining districts. He does not fear the
effect of the socialist ticket in his dis
trict, because most of the socialists are
miners, and he believes he will get their
vote as against their socialist candidate
for congress. Reese was in Des Moines
yesterday and formally resigned.

double its former size. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least one thousand ladies,
besides men and children visited their
establishment during the day and eve-
ming. The size of crowd was tar be-
yond the anticipation of the prop
rietors and they found that they had
not provided themselves with near
enough of the handsome little SOU
venirs which they presented callers,
which caused them much regret but
could not be remedied. Ten people
were kept very busy waiting on GUS
toners and showing them about. The

HON. JOHN MICK DEAD.
Representative in State Legislature
From This District sudden
ly Summoned

Quite shock to his many friends in
Belding was occasioned last Friday by
the news of the sudden death of John
Mick, which occurred about noon of
that day from paralysis of the heart
muscles. Mr.. Mick had had several
attacks of heart trouble the past
year, but he seemed cheerful and con-
tinued in the pursuit of business and
everyday duties. He left his home
that morning and walked a mile and
a half to Clarksville, where he filled
out an insurance policy. He then
rode home, and at the above hour was
working around the front yard. He
suddenly collapsed, and DR.. Flint, who
was called at once, decided that he
died instantly.
He was one of Ionia county's pros
porous farmers, an influential and res
pected citizen, and it would be hard
to single out man whose death
would be felt more keenly than that
of Honest John Mick.
John Mick was born in Wurtemberg
Germany, August 26, 1871, in which
country his early education was OBJ
tanned. He came to America in 1860
and worked on farm until Dec. 20,
1862, when he enlisted as private in
the Eighth Michigan cavalry and
served during the civil war under the
flag of his adopted country, being
honorably discharged at Louisville,
KY, December 30, 1865. He came to |
Michigan in 1866. After following the |
occupation of brick moulder for a |
number of years he finally purchased |
a farm, married and settled down to |
farming. He held various offices in
the township, having been drain com
supervisor of Campbell |
township for II years, under sheriff
and deputy county treasurer. He was
a staunch Republican and was elected
to the legislature of l90l-l902 by a
plurality of 500 over w. f. Bricker,
Democrat, serving with honor to his
district. Though not heard from to
any extent on the floor, his advice in
and conference was sought
for. He was one of the most honored
men of the Legislature of 1901.
Since that time his life has been |
quiet and at his home in Campbell,
but had he lived he no doubt would
have been heard of again in public
life. But he liked the quiet life, and
reared a family of four sons and one
daughter. The eldest son, Charles
and daughter Velma, are married and
they with a grief stricken widow sur
vive him.

THE RURAL MAIL BOX.
Department at Washington Giving IL
Their Careful Consideration.

That the chorus of protest against
government support of the monopoly
in rural mail delivery boxes has not
fallen entirely on deaf ears at Wash
ington is attested by the fact that the
department has undertaken an inves-
tigation of the subject. The corre-
spondent of the New York Evening
Post is authority for the statement
| that secret circular letter-why se-
cret we are unable to imagine-has
been sent to the division superintend-
ents OF the various routes asking for
recommendations on the box question
based on their experience. The idea
Is that among these gentlemen in
tlmately associatiated with the de-
tails of the service, some one will be
able to suggest solution of the pro-
blem satisfactory alike to the govern
ment and to the farmer.
The same writer explains the pres
ent attitude of the government on the
ground that the rural delivery boxes
~ AOA kNCiiNRAiOii io NCll DIS lOI us
tribution, and that, after having
stamps affixed and being deposited in
the box. the mail is constructively in
the hands of the government, and the
latter is responsible for its safety
from theft or destruction. For in
stance, Farmer G. may mail letter
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, at
point on the route which the carrier
does not reach until noon on the next |
day. Thus, for % hours, the govern
ment is the custodian of this letter
without being able to supply any
other guarantee of its safety than
that which the box provides. This is
held to justify the department in re-
fusing to collect mail from boxes that
1t has not formally approved. De

An Excellent showing.

City treasurer Adam Wagner has
effected a settlement with the county
treasurer for the county and state
taxes assessed and collected in this
city. 1892. 36 was the amount as
sessed and that amount was collected
and paid over by Mr.. Wagner with
the exception of $2S.14 which was re-
turned as delinquent. This is the
smallest amount of delinquent tax re-
turned we believe since the city was
was organized and speaks well for Mr..
Wagner's ability as collector. His
successors will do well if they are
able to keep up the record he has
made in that regard.

shirt Waists For All.

If every lady in this city and for
miles around don't have a new shirt
waist for once it won't be the fault of
II. J. Leonard, the pioneer dry goods
merchant of Belding. Monday was
his opening day for spring business
and he advertised to give each lady a
waist pattern, and you bet they we're
there by the hundred. The store was
packed most of the time and when
they finished up night he found he
had given out nine hundred.
