WHO WORE STRIPES
Hugo's Story Of Jean Val
jean Up-to- Date Enacted
in Michigan.

JACKSON, Mich, Jan. 15.-Tom
Navin, who was released from the
Michigan state prison in 1890, will be
appointed a member of the state pris-
on board of control by Gov. Aaron T.
Bliss. The appointment will be made
next week.
This announcement was made to
some members Of his inner cabinet
yesterday.
In 1881, at the age of twenty-six
years Thomas J. NaVin was elected
mayor Of Adrian, one Of the most en-
terprising Of Michigans small cities.
He was one Of the leading citizens of
the state. On March /, 1885, he was
taken prisoner to the state prison
at Jackson, and he served for nearly
five years. He was released in 1890.
On Feb. 10, 1903, rumor has 1t, Mr..
Navin will, by the appointment Of the
governor Of the state of Michigan, be-
come member of the board of con-
troll Of the very institution in which
he suffered punishment, to succeed H.
S. Holmes, Of Chelsea, the present
member.
Gov. Bliss does not deny the rumor.
1t is doubtful if real life has an in
stance of a more interesting romance
than is included in the foregoing para
graphs. It recalls Victor Hugo's mas
terpiece, the story Of Jean Vatican the
immortal convict and magistrate.
Tom Navin twenty years ago was a
popular kid mayor" of Adrian. AS
such he won the confidence of the peo-
pie, and was thus enabled to work
some of the boldeSt frauds in the his
tory of the state.
There was a long string to his kite
of criminal doings, and when the
crash came people who never knew

He SEES FINISH
OF THE WORLD
New Prophet Arises to Warn
People of Their
End.

Milton D. Shovel is a prophet. He
has thrown up his business as a dealer
in merchandise in Itasca county and
opened a gospel shop in Minneapolis,
known as the Mission of Faith and
Works.
Shovel declares emphatically that
the millennium is at hand. 1t will come
so soon, he says, that there is mighty
little time left for repentance.
God has delivered the message to
me-" exclaimed the prophet last night
to reporter. Il know that the end Of
time approaches and it is my mission
to save the souls of as many as will
hear me before the day of judgment"
Already the new prophet has a large
following and his meetings are attend
ed by large crowds of people nightly.
He eXhorts his hearers to accept the
word of God according to whatever
church or sect they may have been
affiliated with. All that matters, is, he
urges, that sinners turn quickly from
their evil ways while there is yet time,
for the trumpets will ring out from the
hilltops before the sinner may be sure
of his salvation.
The odd feature of ShowelIs propa-
ganda is that he asks no money and
permits no collections to be made at
his meetings. He stands all the ex-
penses of the hall and lights and gives
aid to the needy out of his own purse
which is said to be we'll filed.
The new mission is at 329 Nicollet
avenue. A new organ has been put in
and the furniture which Shovel has
paid for is all new. 1t is also Of the
more expensive kind than is ordinarily
found in the mission hall.
Shovel quotes the Bible a chapter
at a time. He says he spent three
years in a spiritual wrestle with only
the forest silences to bear witness to
his distress of spirit. In his profession
of faith Shovel more closely ap-
proaches the Doukhobour belief than
any other.

Curly Bear, a tall chief of the Piegans
and one of the most ardent adherents on
the Blackfoot reservation in Montana, of
government ration abolition, is going on
the lecture platform under the auspices
of a literary syndicate, to exploit the
present policy Of the Indian administra
ton from the Indians point of view.
Curly Bear, who was in Minneapolis
yesterday, is a well educated and hand
some man. tall and of impressive bearing.
In discussing the abolition of annuitieS
and rations on the Montana reservation
he said that a great majority of the
Blackfeet were now Self-supporting
They are employed on dam building and
government irrigation works at a wage
of $3.50 a day. Rations are issued only
to the old and decrepit.

to do away, with such assistance even
for the old,' said Curly Bear, because

when the Indian is paid wages for
work instead of a premium for idleness,
he becomes not only supporting, but
self-respecting. He takes a pride in
knowing that he is the equal of the white

To find his voice. says I.
How can he do it?'
"Tll set him to driving oxen.'
Il told him I had known of lost
voices being restored that way. and
AFTER thinking 1t over, he said he'd
send the son along. The young Teller
arrived the next week, and his was a
bad case. He couldn't speak to be

TAXING WISCONSIN RAILWAYS.
Most of Gov. La FolIette's Message De-
voted to This Subject.

VOtcC TO j MS SUBJECT
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 15.-Both
houses Of the Wisconsin legislature
met in joint session this afternoon,
when the governors message was
read. Gov. La Toilette read the mes
sage in person. He devotes much
space TO matters pertaining to railway
taxation and the control of freight
rates in Wisconsin. Regarding rail-
way taxation. the governor says:
You will soon be in possession of
the report of the tax commission.
am confident you will place that reli-
ance upon the work of this commits
sion that the public has already sealed
with its approval. If the inauguration
Of the investigation of this subject by
the commission was in good faith, then
in good faith those for whose guild
ance it's work was planned are bound
to give heed to its findings and recon-
mendations. In determining that we
should abandon the license fee system
of railroad taxation in Wisconsin, the
commission will simply reaff1rm the
declaration made two years ago that
the license fee system would be super
seeded by a more scientific method Of
railway taxation. Many tables of
comparative freight rates Of railroads
in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa are
given, showing that Wisconsin ship
pers are compelled to pay eXOrbitant
rates. Upon the necessity of the es-
Enlistment of commission to pro-
tect the shipping interests Of Wiscon-
sin, the governor says:
There would seem to be no need of
argument. The rates. in themselves
make the demand stronger than any
form of words can express it."
He renews his recommendation for
the enactment of a primary election
law, saying:
IT submit that it is not for US to de-
termine what shall be the scope Of
law to nominate candidates by direct
vote. This has been settled by the
people of Wisconsin. They have de-
termined that all candidates for state,
legislative, congressional and county
officers shall be nominated at primary
election upon the same day by direct
vote under the Australian ballot
Il desire to emphasize for your at
tention the Importance of providing
most specifically the form and manner
for enforcement of such laws as you
may enact for the prevention of illegal
combinations within the state, to re-
strain the operations in this state by
such combinations organized elsewhere
and for the punishment of violators
of such laws"
The governor strongly urges the en-
actment o& law against the paid lob
byist.
