plying to rural counties, passed without
a dissenting voice or vote; he is further
backed by the solid vote against the
primary elections resolution in the state
convention OF both the Allegan and Van
Buren, delegations, representing the
eighth district. Mr.. Woodman is loyal
to the instructions from the republicans
of his district, To whom he is indebted
for his high position.
All this talk about defeating Sena-
tor Woodman for second term is
nonsense. The True Northerner lays no
claim to being among the "original
Woodman men," and no one can say that
we have been partisan of his, but we
want to say now to his traducers (all of
whom fortunately are outside of his dis
trict), that he cannot and will not be de-
feated. He has made a good record and
is entitled to and will receive his second
term. The very men who opposed his
first nomination, and who put up credi-
table fight against him in the caucus in
this town, will be in the thick of the
fight for his return if outside parties
come in and try to run the republican
politics OF the eight senatorial district.
Gentlemen, keep your hands Off The
republican party of Van Buren, and
Allegan counties is entirely capable of
selecting its own nominees. Jason Wood
man is the present, and will be the next
senator from the eight senatorial district,
whether or not the Colby bill passes the
state senate.

An Organ In the Tenth Century,

WolstOn speaks of an organ contain
ing 400 pipes which was erected In the
tenth century in England. This instru-
ment was blown by thirteen separate
pairs Of bellows" 1t also contained q
large keyboard. There are drawings Of
that period extant which represent the
organ as an instrument having but
few pipes, blown by two or three per.
sons and usually performed on by a
monk. The keys, which were played
upon by hard blows of the fist, were
very clumsy and from four to six inch
es broad.
About the end of the eleventh centu-
~ semitones were introduced into the
keyboard, but to all appearances its
compass did not extend beyond three
octaves. The introduction Of pedals in
149O by Bernhardt-giving a compass
B fiat to A-was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces Of wood op-
Grated by the toe of the player.

Curious Cossack Custo ms.


Many queer customs and usages arc
prevalent among the COssacks Of the
Don. No man changes his clothing on
a Monday. If he did it is believed that
he would suffer from severe skin
disease. On Thursday no fat or flesh
must be picked or corned. If any one
neglected this the meat would be full
OF worms in fortnight. Wool is not
spun on holiday, else the cattle will
sicken and die. A hen is always given
an uneven number Of eggs to hatch,
never an even number. Bones left from
a dinner at a funeral are thrown into
the river, else the dead will appear to
the living in fearful shape. And at the
same meal no one dare cut bread; 1t
must always be broken.

THE FIRE FIEND
THE WILSON MILL BURNED YES.
TERDAY MORNING.
The Steadiest Running Mill In the State Is
Put Out or Business By Fire. will Be
Rebuilt. Steam Engine Fails Through no
Fault Of Engineer Spahr.

The fire slarm just before five O'Clock
Yesterday morning announced the de-
struction of one OF Aberdeen's oldest al d
best saw mills. When it was learned
that the Wilson mill was afire the city
turned out, men women and kids. This
mill has been noted for running in the
dull timesof the COS, when everything else
was closed down. and for the past fifteen
years has persisted in making lumber
out of saw logs, apparently regardless OF
the market This persistency has obtain
ed for "Charley" Wilson, the capable
mana ,er, a reputation among millmen,
to the effect that he would not stop his
mill even at the summons of Archangle
Gabriel's horn, at the wind up mundane
affairs.
The fire had obtained great Roadway
when the alarm was turned in, but the
fire department was on the scene within
five minutes after the first tap of the
DELL. BY this time the mill proper was
in mass of flames, and tie steam fire
engine was placed on the wharf alongside
the steamer G. G. Lindaner, and the
energies Of the department, under Chief
Koehler, were directed to saving the
planning mill, and tie plant of the Aber
dec, Electric Co., which joins the mill.
Here occurred one OF those accidents
that cannot possibly be provided against.
The fire engine-that had worked splen.
didly few days before at practice--fa,led
to do duty. Engineer Spahr was at his
wits end to account for the trouble.
Chief Engineer Comstock, of the Lind.
auer, who is marine engineer of %
years experience, and his assistant, to.
gether with j. J. Ryan, the boiler
maker, who had four years experience
as engineer of a similar engine in Port.
land, were equally nonplnsed, and an
hour OF valuable time was consumed in
locating the seat of trouble.
By seven O'Clock the mill was total
loss, including the planning mill, which
might have been saved had the fire en-.
CINE worked promptly. This depart.
ment of the mill contained nearly $780,.
600 worth of machinery, and the total
loss to the company will approximate
500, 900, upon which there was $4,000
insurance.
Owing to the failure of the steam fire
engine to work, the large crowd was
not backward in finding fault with En-
gineer Spahr, and the writer will confess
such feeling, when he witnessed
thousands OF dollars worth OF property
going up in smoke owing to tie impo.
tency of this costly fire apparatus. Lit.
tie doubt exists that had the engine re.
sponded promptly the planning mill
might have been saved.
In this connection, it is but bare
justice to Engineer Spahr to say that
Chief Engineer Comstock. of the Lind
auer. and his assistant, Mr.. Ryan who
was present, as we'll as Chief Engineer
Pendegratst, of tie Coronado, unite in
saying that such accidents to pumps are
among the most frequent OF their
troubles, and that no engineer can have
the sagacity to locate the cause Of the
trouble at once, but must look through
his valves until he finds the one affected.

This has been accomplished not
on account of the change of cli-

has been made of horticulture and
men have learned that the laws
governing the growth Of fruit are
as fixed as any other laws OF na-

The Southern Farm Magazine
of Baltimore has compiled from
official report Of the government
the statistics of grain crops of
the South in 1902. The total
values are as follows:
BUSHELS. VALUE
Corn. SOP, 1909 $276,553,994
Wheat 1S,872,127 3S,O69,619
Rye -, 1,322,892 975,514
Oats =. 56,I78,672 26,252,565
In addition to grain, the South
raised 21,S97, SIS bushels of Irish
potatoes, valued, at $14,116, 169,
1905, 423 tons of hay valued at
$40, 734,706, and 63O,259, 1913 lbs.
of tobacco, valued at S63,943,O25.
The total for these three items
added to the total for grain makes
S466, 545, 1872, or approximately,
about one-half Of the total value
of the agricultural products of
the South. III this report no men,
ton is made of the cotton crop.
OF sweet potatoes-the yield of
which in the South is much 1arg-
err than the yield of Irish potatoes
of sugar, rice and fruit crops.
These figures show that the
grain crop Of the South--corn.
wheat, oats and rye--is about the
same in value as an average cot
ton crop, but the growth of diversi-
fed farming in the South promis-
es within a few years to make the
value of these crops much larger
than that Of cotton.
