I'M OCTOBER DAYS.
A Portrayal Of Forest and Field BY

A Portrayal OF Forest and Field BY
John Burroughs.
Now comes the sunset Of the verdant
When cheric fires. still and slow,
Burn in the leaves till trees and groves
appear
Dipped in the sunsets glow.
Through many stained windows Of the
The day sends down it's beams
Tin all the acorn punctured solitude
OF sunshine softly dreams.
take my way where sentry cedars stand
Along the bushy lane,
And withdrawals stir and call on every
hand
Or lift their wavering strain;
Where hazel bush holds up its crinkled
gold
And scents the lettering breeze.
A nuptial wreath amid its LEAKAGE old
That laughs at frosts DEGREES.
"A purple bloom is creeping Ger the ash.
Dull wine against the day,
While duslSy cedars wear a crimson sash
OF woodbine's kindled spray.
/ see the sturdy oak trees smoldring fire
And yonder sugar naples Wild desire
TO match the sunset sky
On hedge and tree the bittersweet has
hung
It's fruit that looks flower,
While alder spray with coral berries
strung
Is part 81 autumn's dover.
The plaintive calls Of bIuebirds fiji the air.
Wandering by irresolute;
The ruby kinglet fitting here and there.
Fitful now his elin flute.
Now downy shyly drills his winter cell.
His white chips strew the ground.
While squirrels bark from hill or acorned
dell.
A true autumnal sound
hear the feathered thunder Of the grouse
Soft rolling through the wood
Or pause TO note where hurrying mole or
mouse
just stirs the solitude
Listen-the furtive 1ock-cau Of the quail
Comes up from weedy fields
Beyond, the mellow thud Of lonely fail
Its homely music yields
Behold the orchards piled with painted
spheres
New piucked from bending trees.
And bronzed huskers tossing golden ears
In genial sun and breeze.
Once more the TRANQUIL days brood Ter
the hills
And soothe earth's toiling breast.

New Method OF Prospecting For Val
uabIe Minerals.
A new method OF prospecting for
gold and other valuable minerals has
been devised By Calvin Baker Of Los
Angeles, says the st. Louis post-Dis-
patch. He recently started for the Mo-
1aye desert on a prospecting trip in an
automobile Of his own construction.
The machine is especially adapted for
the business in hand. 1t carries an en-
CINE and machinery for rock drilling
and earth excavating and is equipped
with a $500 pound gasoline motor.
Baker expects to be able, with the aid
Of his mobe machine. 10 accomplish the
work ia the prospecting line in a day
that two men would ordinarily require
one week to do. The machine is so
constructed that it can climb noun
tains or traverse the desert sands with
equal ease.

The Times notes with pleasure what
was evidently a fair-minded consideration
Of the recent riot IN this city, on the part
Of the Ludlow Tribune last week. Too
many Of the newspapers have been hasty
IN forming conclusions on the occurrence
and the representatives Of some metropol-
itan papers have been over jealous in cast
Ing oppriobrium on the city Of Barre for
Il. And even The Tribune Is led into en-
ror when It says that IN addition to the
injuries Of the man who was mortally
wounded, deadly wounds were dealt to a
dozen Italians in the quarrel The most
that the local newspaper reporters, the po-
lice and those present at the trouble are
able to vouch for is three. and that ap-
pears pretty near the truth In fact the
affair was not that terribly bloody riot''
which has been pictured. 1t was bad
enough without chasing It as that.

veloped that the electric light wires In

the insulation was somewhat defective

Madison, Wis, April GA new munic
ipal bond bill was introduced in the as
sembly last evening by the committee on
cities. to take the place of the bill author
izing cities of the third class to issue
bonds to the amount of 100000 for the
erection Of school buildings. vetoed by
the governor because it escaped the stat
utory requirement that the question Of
issuing the bonds must be submitted to
vote of the people, -@ IA
The new BILL however, while taking the
place of the former, and different from it
in form, is much more sweeping in it's
practical effect. It's language is simple,
merely amending the statute requiring the
submission of the bond question to q vote
of the people by adding provision that
1t shall not apply to the issue of bonds
under sections 925-1 1888 and 926-11 of the
statutes. Examination of these sections,
however, discloses the fact that they en-
body the provision for issue by cities un-
der general and special charters, respect
lively of bonds for almost every municipal
purpose.
The governor vetoed the former bill
because 1t conflicted with what he re-
garded wise provision of the statutes.
Whether he will consent to wiping out
this provision is regarded as very doubt :
full. -. ..'
Two other bond bills, giving cities under
general and special charters the right to
8 issue bonds under the above statute for
purchasing property for the establishment
of city markets, were also introduced by
the same committee. They are urged by

FOUGHT THIRTEEN YEARS
Long Legal Battle Said to Have Nettes
:. Sullivan 5000,

= MARQUETTE, MICH.-In the recent
settlement of the case out of court at Mar
quette, former Village President It. G.
Sullivan Of Munsing won, after a. legal
battle lasting thirteen years, against ap-
parently hopeless odds, a fight without a
parallel in the upper peninsula. Early in
the nineties he resorted to the courts to
obtain a settlement for certain claims
against the Ross estate.
In the Marquette circuit court he Sc
cured a judgment Of 100000, but it was
reversed by the supreme court and the
case went back again. On the second trial
in circuit court Sullivan again won, and
again the estate appealed to the high tri-
versed the decision, but shortly after it
reversed its own decision and affirmed
the third judgment Of the circuit court
:. The history of the case from that time
was the history of an effort on the part
Of the, Ross estate7 administrator to pro-
cure permission to sell certain lands to
pay the claim. Petition to authorize such
sale was made to the probate court, but
the Rosses again appealed and at the time
of the final settlement this matter was
in the supreme court. 5Ez
In the meantime the lands of the es-
tate had greatly enhanced in value and it
was recently decided by the heirs to set
tie with Sullivan and end the litigation.
The compromise price was $125, 900 cash,
and of this Sullivan is reported to have
netted in excess Of $75, 900 clear, the law
yers getting the remainder.
