TRAMP QUESTION PARAMOUNT.
Berry Districts of Michigan overrun
With Worthless Vagabonds.

St. Joseph Michigan, June 23.-The
tramp question has become one of par
amount Importance in Berrien county,
and Sheriff Collins is about to take
strenuous measures to rid the rural
district of the hundreds of tramps now
quartered within the borders of Berrien
county and terroriZing the residents of
several small nearby Villages. AT
Brdgenan there have been several
riots and drunken outbursts.
James Marshall was attacked Satur-
day night on the streets of Bridgeman,
and an unsuccessful attempt made to
rob him. AT the village of Riverside
a riot occurred in which twenty-five
tramps pursued John Hattenfelt. He
was overtaken, knocked down, badly in
jured, and in this helpless condition
was robbed.
Protected by the excuse that they are
seeking employment as berry pickers,
armies of tramps from all parts of the
country journey to this district during
the fruit season.

Mississippi valleys and The gulf states
conditions were very favorable for cul-
tivation. Rain is now reeded in the
Dakotas. northern Minnesota and i'll
portions of the central and east gulf
districts. Conditions on the Pacific
coast were generally favorable. Cen
eral Improvement in the condition OF

especially over the western portions. In
the lake regions, New England and the
middle Atlantic states lt.tle or no inn
provement in the crop Is noted. In all
the northern and centrai districts corn
continues very late. but is in a good
state of cultivation, except in the mid
die Atlantic states. The winter wheat

his had secured the contract and fur
nished the articles called for: there
fore he believed they should be paid
as the government had stipulated to
pay them.
During his recent visit to this city,
Loud, on certain of his visits to the de
parunent. took up some Of these unpaid
bills, making it plain. however, that he
appeared only in behalf of his constit-
uents and not as one financially in
terested in the company.
The allegation was made, the Post
says that $4,000 of the deficiency
of Sl05,000 in the free delivery service
with which Machen is charged, was due
to the purchase of the device in ques-
ton, but at the postoffice department
this was denied and the statement was
made that the matter was under in
vestigation. Complaints also had been
made. it was stated, that at the in
stance of Loud, the rolls at the Pre-
sido had been padded with postal en-
ployes, but at the postoffice department
they We're without any knowledge of
such thing one way or the other.
An effort was made TO get state
ment from Machen on the subject. but
he declined to either affirm or deny

Kiel. June 23.-The United States

commanded by Admiral Prince Henry
of Prussia, consisting of eight battle
ships and six cruisers, saluted the
American vessels and the band on the
German flagship played America
Some hundreds of townspeople gath
cred on the piers gave cheers as the
squadron arrived.
Prince Henry sent the navigation Of
ficers and captain of the Fort down the
bay early in the morning to meet the
Orlateu as the squadron was firing its
first salute off Fort Friedrichsort. The

HOME is DYNAMlTED.
Bomb Placed Under Henry Lewis
House at Iehioh

House at lemgh.
Lehigh. June 23.-The nome of Henry
Lewis. in this place. was partially
wrecked by the explosion of dyna-
mite bomb under the kitchen doorstep.
Lewis, with his wife and two children,
were asleep in the house at the time,
but they escaped injury on account OF
the fact that the sleeping. rooms are IN
the front part ef the house, While the
greatest force of the explosion was felt
lin the rear of the buildihs.
The house itself. WIS badly dam
aged. The back door was crushed In.
the steps were destroyed, plastering
was Knocked down all over the build
ing. and the roof was raised by the
terrific force of the explosion.
Mr.. Lewis has been working In the
Lehigh Clay Works, being employed In
rlace of the strikers, and it is supposed
that this fact accounts for the outrage.
The general supposition IS that the dy-
namite was exploded by some of the
disaffected workmen at the clay works
The occurrence has aroused much
feeling here. as it Is almost miraculous
that none of the family were seriously
injured.
1t is supposed that stick of dyna-
mite with a fuse attached was placed
under the porch. the fuse was llghted,
and the guilty parties had plenty OF
time to make their escape.

Washington, June 23.-The Post to-
day says that among the matters which

chase from California company of

1t Is also said that 1000 of these
devices originally We're ordered at u

CATION is made that a further order fo1
10000 was placed, Notwithstanding the
original 1000 devices We're not used but
were reposing in a storehouse.
The company controlling the device
was largely made up of California pos
tai employees and the Post says that
it is informed that eS-representative
Loud of California. formerly chairman
of the house pOstottice committee. took
an active part in their behalf and wrote
letters urging the adoption of the de
vice in the department, and in one OF
them said that it would be an accom-
modation to him if the matter We're at
tended to.
After the company had difficulty in
securing its money for the device, Loud,
the Post says, appeared at the de-
partment in its behalf, but specially
disclaimed any interest in the company

Andrew Foster of GrinnelI has Thrill

ing Experience.
Grinnell, June 23.--Andrew Foster, of
this city had singular accident while
driving home late last week. He was
going over a narrow bridge which was
over one of the sloughs that forms
a source of Sugar creek, little over
three miles northwest of Grinnell. Over
the bridge had been placed foot or
more of dirt and this had been wash
ed away on either side by recent rains.
One of the horses was afraid of the
place this made and SHE'D pushing the
other horse so that he lost his footing
and suddenly fell off the bridge pulling
the first one after him. Both horses
fell on their heads and backs in the
gully, nine feet below, while the buggy.
with Mr. Foster in it. was turned COM
pletely. over. The fact that the top of
the buggy was up seems to be the only
reason why Mr.. Foster escaped death.
AS it was he fell on his head and Shout
ders and sustained various severe Sc
we're bruises and scratches. After he
had somewhat recovered from his ter
rible shaking up, Mr.. Foster endeav-
ored to eXtricate his team. which was
in such position that he feared both
horses would die unless soon taken out.
Finding himself unable to do anything
alone he ran for help, about quarter
of a mile away. and luckily found three
men, with whose help the team and
buggy We're taken out and placed right
side up. After the mud was washed
off the horses Mr.. Foster was able to
drive back to town that same evening.
Much fault is being found with
road supervisors that will allow such
bad conditions to exist. and endanger
life and property.
