Comes as q Decided Disappointment
to United States.

Quebec, Aug. 14.-Judge Caron has
ordered the release from custody of
Colonel John +. Gayner and Captain
B. ID. Green, in the now famous extra
dition case. In the present case there
was a distinct discrepancy between
the charges upon which the various
true bills against the prisoners were
obtained in the United States and be-
tween them and that made in the ap-
plication for extradition. This, as well
as the absence of dates in the warrant.
he held to be distinctly fatal to the
latter, and he therefore upheld the
prisoners claims and their objections
TO the warrants, maintained the writ
of habeas corpus and ordered the re-
lease of the prisoners.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE decision
of Judge Caron in the Greene and Cay
ner case was decided disappointment
to the government officials interested,
as they had hoped for favorable out
come of the efforts that have been
made to secure the extradition of the
two men. Attorney-General Knox Is
out of the city, and in his absence AS
sistant Attorney Beck Is act
ing as head Of the department Of JUS
tice. Mr.. Beck declined to comment
on the decision further than to say
that he regretted 1t.
No one in Washington Is prepared
10 say what the future action of the
government will be in the cases of
Messrs. Greene and Gaynor. That
matter will be determined by Attorney
General Knox, who has been giving the
case considerable personal attention,
and who has felt confident that the eff
forts of the government to secure the
extradition of the two men would be
successful.

Grandma.

Grandma sits in her rocking chair,
Watching the sun go down.
There's yellow glow on her snow white hair
AS she sits on the porch in the open air,
That seems like golden crown.
Watching the clouds with dreamy eyes
1 wonder what grandma sees?
Is she watching the pictures in the skies
That change and fade as the sunlight dies,
Above the distant treesS
All her life she has done her best
To walk in the narrow way,
Which leads to the mansions OF the blest
Where longing hearts find peaceful rest
In never'ending day.
And now she is old and her work is done,
Her treasures safe on high;
The sands OF her life are almost run;
Her earthly battles are fought and won
And heaven draweth nigh.
What does she see In the summer sky,
Watching the suns last ray?
A shining path TO her home on high
That brighter grows as the days so by.
And ends In perfect day.

The Democratic Candidate.

The democratic state convention in
Detroit, Thursday, nominated Judge
George H. Durand of Flint, for govern
or. Judge Durand had declined to
have his name considered in connection
with the nomination but fight in the
convention directed against the demo
cratic machine which has been domi-
mated by Daniel j. Campau and Chair
man Whiting, of the democratic state
central committee, together with a
strong sentiment favoring Durand,
caused a stampede for the Flint man.
He was nominated on the fourth ballot
and thereby singing rebuke was adj
ministered to Campau and the machine
which sought to down Durand.
Judge Durand is good citizen of
Michigan, and he exerted his best eff
forts to avoid being put up for the sac
rifice, because he knew of the hopeless
ness of the task before the party this
fall. But he was nominated and being
a strong believer in sacrifice TO duty
of personal interests he will accept the
call
But Judge Durand cannot and will
not be elected. His nomination, in
stead of uniting the factions in the dem
ocratic party of Michigan will divide
them. While Campau accepted his de-
feat with apparent good grace, it can
not be expected that he will go out of
his way to assist in the election of
Durand. Whiting is in the same posi-
ton, and chairman of the state central
committee. Durand is a pronounced
gold democrat, and in thus he starts in
with the .antagonism of the followers
and admirers of Bryan.
Really it is too bad to force Judge
Durand to face such a hopeless condi-
ton. With Whiting and Campau in
command of the machine and the free
silver democrats lukewarm, division in
the party ranks is certain and defeat
for the democratic ticket fully assured.
Judge Durand will be acceptable to the
old-time democrats because of his
staunch principles regarding the mon
ey question and his Endorsement of the
policy of the administration on the Phil
ippine question. His very acceptability
to these democrats will intensity an OPP
position to him among the followers of
Bryan and the result is obvious. Judge
Durand cannot hope to be elected

OLD COW BELL.
Carried Through War and 'Twill Ring
Again at Owosso.

Coldwater, Mich, Aug 1.-THE
Twenty Michigan infantry's old
COW bell, which was carried all through
the civil war, will be rung at the
regimental reunion at Owosso Septem-
Der 2. The history of the bell is almost
the history of the regiment. When the
regiment was recruiting in August,
1862, near Pontiac, some of the soldiers
stole bell from neighbor's COW. It
was carried in every march and in every
battle in which the regiment partici-
pated. During many of the long forced
marches the Twenty-second made the
bell was brought out and its tones
started every footsore vet into line,
keeping step as if on parade, and often
in fight some soldier would grab the
old bell and when it ratified at the front
every soldier in the regiment plugged
away at the rebs with renewed vigor.
When the boys came home sin 60 the
bell was buckled, at night, on the
owners COW. At, the first regimental
reunion the patriotic farmer returned it
to the boys with the inscription en-.
graved on it of the principal battles in
which it was carried, and at every re-
union since it has called the old vets to
order and summoned them to draw
rations.

In his address to the citizens of Flint
who welcomed him home last week,
Mr. Durand said of the republican
party, it has accomplished much and
produced great men" But during all
its years of grand accomplishment, Mr..
Durand constantly opposed even the
work he now calls good, except when he
could not bring himself to further aid
the democracy by helping it ruin the
nations finances and accomplish repu-
diation of debts both public and private.
Even then he merely sulked, neither
helping the republican party and the
cause of common honesty nor opposing
his own party's ruinous and dishonest
policy. 1t is on so poor record as this
that he now hopes thousands of re-
publicans will assist him in crippling
and defeating the republican party in
Michigan. They will be slow to help
in putting democrat of any kind into
the governors chair of Michigan. 1t is
one thing to oppose Mr.. Bliss renomi-
nation. 1t is quite another to make
matters worse by establishing demo
cratic rule at Lansing-any kind Of
democratic rule. -Allegan Gazette.

Expenses Per Year at oIivet College.

The Olivet College Bulletin for July
shows that it is far less expensive to at
tend college than many suppose. The
simple fact is that ambitious young men
and women today cannot afford not to
go to college. 1t will cost far more-in
the long run-not to 60 Even one year
at college pays; it is the best possible in
vestment of both time and money. The
authorities of Olivet have always aimed
to keep expenses as low as possible in
order that student of limited means
but rit h in possible development of mind
and heart may secure the best in the way
of liberal education. With economy
5000 90 will meet all necessary expenses
for year. and few get through on
less. There is no need of Michigan
students leaving the state for an edu-
cation.

Rev. Mr.. Ferguson is one of the most
honored members of the body. He has
served the Methodist cause in Virginia
with the same devotion that he followed
the Confederate flag during the war be-

Rev. Mr.. Ferguson lost his devoted wife.
His affections were known to his brethren
in the conference. When he arose to
make his report, filled with emotion he
was unable to proceed, and, WAS excused
by Bishop Duncan. Out in the audience
a minister raised the old familiar tune to
How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of
the Lord" In an instant the entire con-
ference and audience Joined in the song.
1t was a grand expression of spontaneous
sympathy that came direct from the heart
of the conference, and left its consolation

Will Be Consecrated About the 18th
of December.
The Birmingham Age-Herald of Sum-
day says:
The Rev. John g. Murray and family
returned home yesterday after an alb
sence OF nearly four weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray had a pleasant
trip. They went from here to Philadel-
phia where Mr.. Murray attended the mis-
sionary council of the church. They
spent a week in New York, several days
in Washington, day or two in Cumber-
land, Md, a day in Louisville and a week
at Salt Lick Ind. Cumberland is Mr..
Murray's native place but 1t had been
twenty-six years since he was there. He
found few, II any of the friends of his
youth, living in the old town. but he re-
veled in the familiar scenes of the days
agone.
On his return Mr. Murray became at
once busy with church work. AS Chair
man of the Standing Committee of the
diocese he handles the correspondence and
the papers pertaining to the Bishop-elect.
Up to last night he had received replies
from exactly thirty standing committees
Of the United States. including his own,
giving consent to the conservation of DIR.
Charles Minnigerode Beckwith to the Of
fee of bishop. But as there are sixty
diocese it takes thirty-one standing COM
mittees to make a majority, and a ma
jority consent Is required. Another
committee Is almost certain to be heard
from by Monday. Just so soon as Chair
man Murray Is advised of one more COM
mittee's consent he will forward the "ev-
licences OF consent to the Right Rev.
Thomas U. Dudley of Kentucky. who is
acting for the presiding bishop of the
United States, and ask him to obtain the
consent of the members Of the house of
Bishops for DIR. Beckwith's conservation,
AS soon as majority of the prelates are
heard from in the Affirmative arrange
ments will be made for the solemn cere-
mony of elevating DR.. Beckwith to the
episcopate.
Mr.. Murray met DIR. Beckwith at the
missionary council. The latter expressed
the hope that his conservation would take
place on st. Andrews Day. November
80 which will be also the first Sunday in
Advent. But 1t will be impossible for the
church authorities to arrange matters
for so early a date. Mr.. Murray says the
conservation will probably take place on
or about the 18th of December

THE RAINS GENERAL
COOLER WEATHER TODAY

The rain of yesterday was quite general
over the South, being moderately heavy
in some portions of Northern Alabama
and Northern Georgia. The rain was due
to a storm center which was over the
middle Ohio Valley yesterday morning,
and moving eastward.
The rains will cause a slight rise lit
the Coosa and Alabama Rivers, which
will be welcomed by the steanboatme.;.
as the water has been low for some
time.
The rain area is being followed by cold
err weather, moving in from the west.
which change was felt here about sunset
Yesterday, when the clouds had nearly
all passed away.
Temperatures were as low as freezing in
Northwestern Texas yesterday morning,
and will probably be down in the forties
here by this morning.
Much cotton has been matured by the
summer-like conditions of the last Few
weeks, and more will mature in this sec
ton, il not checked by the present cool
