Fourteen years ago I painted my
house with these paints and am now,
for the first time since, repainting it.
FL. L. Smith, the painter, says he never
knew of house in better condition
for painting after having stood so long.
A gentleman, whose name will not
mention, living in our town, painted
his house thirteen years ago, with
these paints and he has engaged some
paints to repaint, saying that he would
have no other.
DR.. Heilman will also testify as to
the merits of these paints. County Jail
painted four years ago. John Lind's
two houses painted two years ago and
many others, all speak for the virtue
and staying qualities of these paints,
and is better evidence than any mans
word. Look at them; then buy the
Champion paints and paint your house
and be happy.
Also paper your house with the ele-
CANT wall paper at Taggart's and be
doubly happy.

Ten DAYS, Recess.

During the several years that ! have
supplied these legislative letters ! have
stuadfaStly maintained that il was a
wise economy for the legislature to
take recess Of ten days to permit the
various committees to visit the sever
al state institutions. My observation
through number OF legislative SEES
siuns persuade me that a great deal
OF time was saved by having all of
this necessary visiting done at once
and cGoctually disposed Of When this
is not the case the committees absent
themselves Two or more at time.
and thus extend the yiSiiations
throughout The session. the result be
ing that bills Lave to be constantly put
at the foot OF the calendar when they
are reached because legislators inter
estcd I'M them were absent on commit
tee business. Two years ago the lead
ers concluded that this was a mistaken
idea and so The long recess was abol-
ished. One dose of the innovation
caused them to see the error of their
ways and this year they are unani-
mously in favor Of the recess.
Registration of Physicians.
An effort will be made to amend the
law regarding the registration of physi-
clans so that Michigan can be adj
vanced TO plane where II will enjoy
reciprocal relations with other states
At present the examining board rec
ogniZeS the diplomas of certain medical
urhi I'm
standard. II is proposed to change the
law so MS 10 require every applicant
for registration, whether he has a di-
ploma or not. to pass an examination
and 10 make this examination so thor
ough that every state i'm the Union
will accept the certificate OF the Michi-
gan board without question.
During the past two years there has
been remarkable growth Of sentiment
I'm favor of the centralized rural school
The state grange, which for years
fought persstently anything looking
toward Capitalization. has recognized
the demand for change and at its
annual session last month passed res
olutions indOrsing local option i'm this
regard. The laws now existing permit
districts 10 combine if they see fit to dc
so, and the state department of public
instruction viii this year endeavor TO
have enacted law permitting such
districts as see fit to do so TO use The
primary school money for transporting
children to and from these central
schools. This is the one step lacking
IN punb1p thp ura pticol npnltra rim, or
the new system, and II is believed
that IL will be taken.

Huuor OF Boys and Girls.

From twelve on al increasing per
centage Of the children relinquish tho
idea that self is necessary In the joke
and give more impersonal accounts
Girls more frequently than boys quote
the humor Of the refined adult and In
personal experiences often describe oc
casions of their own timidity This is
probably due 10 the different home
training girl receives. She Is CON
tinually drilled ito be a lady" which
In most cases means 10 drop her natu
raj instincts aud TO initiate the adults
of her environment. About twelve she
loses the fearlessness she has hitherto
shared with her brothers and becomes
good prey for their soaring" schemes
This seems to develop the boys teas
ing abilities. for. while before almost
all their tricks were on their own sex,
now the acme of their fun as recorded
is to frighten some girl or to make her
look ridiculous. A boy of twelve IL
illustrates this tendency and by his
mixed clauses gives further material
for smiles. THE best joke | saw
played was putting a bunch of fire
crackers by lady that were not lit,
Ind they scared her."--Century.

Don't Amend Charter.

The following petition has been
circulated and signed by some OF the
tax payers OF this city.
We, the undersigned residents
and tax payers of the City of Bedding,
believing that certain improvements
are necessary in our city, such as wa
ter works and sewers, and as under
the present reading of our charter, it
is impossible 10 bond or raise sutfici-
ent money TO make such Improvement.
Now, therefore, we do hereby ask and
petition that you draft and submit
bill TO the present session of the
Legislature making such needed
amendments to our Charter as are
necessary so that the taxpayers may
by vote be enable TO make such i'm
provements as are for the best inter
est of the city.
AS taxpayer of this City, ques-
tion the advisability of any action on
our part at this time for the amend
ing or changing in any way of our
present City Charter. The present
Charter has been our organic law for
the past ten years, and has proved it
self to be very satisfactory. | am at
loss to understand why it is neces-
sary to make amendments TO the
Charter for the purposes as set forth
in the above petition, as under Chap
ter n of our Charter, provision is
made for the ablishing, construct.
ing and maintaining sewers in our
| City, and under Chapter 81, provision
is made for the construction and
maintenance of water-works.
Under Chapter 33, it is possible for
the city to borrow to the amount of
ton of the city for water-works pur-
poses, and it seems as though this
should be sufficient and ample for our
needs. More than this, | understand
that the state law will not allow a
municipality to bond itself in excess
of three per cent of its assessed valua-
ton If this is true, the amount that
might be raised by bonds could not be
changed by any action on the part of
/ the legislature without a repeal of
the general law as far as it applied TO
this city Our Charter was construct
cd and complied by gentleman who
took unusual pains in performing this
work, they provided a limit TO the
! general taxation to one per cont, and
for this reason, our city stands to-day
or near the head of the cities of the
State Of Michigan for freedom from
Indebtedness.
! am of the opinion that it is policy
to move slow in making any change
/ i'm the taxation limit or possibilities
for mourning Indebtedness as it is
much easier TO borrow money than it
is TO pay it. / do not wish 10 act as
an obstructionist, and am ready TO
consent ana assist in carrying out the
will of the people, but believe the
people should have thorough under
standing of all actions taken in re-
gard TO Charter amendments.
Many of our large industries have
been established in this city by rea-
son of the limitation to the amount of
taxation that might be imposed upon
them, aud it may not be best for us TO
antagonze the industries we now
have with us, or put up an obstruction
to the establishing of additional ones
! in the future.
Let us look well TO what we are do
i ing, weigh the matter carefully be-
/ fore we act, and then we may not
have to repent at leisure for what we
! have done i'm haste.

Primary Elections.
The present indications are that
there will he no measures OF an un-
usual nature before the incoming legis-
lature. Without doubt some progress
will be made in the line of primary
election enactment, but it is believed
that no attempt will be made to solve
this important problem all at once.
While the experiments that have been
thus far made in localities under local
enactments of the last legislature have
been i'm the main satisfactory, yet the
success Of the undertaking has not
been SO complete as TO persuade every
one that the time is ripe for enacting
a primary election law which shall
apply TO the entire state. There is
little doubt. as has been remarked.
that substantial progress will be made.
but in all probability the most that
will be done Will be to pass a law
applying to some of the larger cities.
leaving The general measure to be
worked out later in the light Of the
knowledge which the application Of
tile primary election law in the cities
will bring, The country districts are
not al all sure that they desire the in
novation. and. in fact. some of them
resolved against it at their county con
ventions last fall. On the other hand,
the general proposition was favored
at the recent annual meetings Of the
state grange and state association Of
farmers club, and ii may fail out
that a law applying to the entire state
will be enacted

LOADED FERRY BOATS
COLLIDE IN DENSE FOG
Officers and Crews Check Excited Pas
sengers Who Would Jump Overheard.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct. IL
Endangering the lives of thousands Of
passengers. the Southern Pacific ferry
steamer Newark crashed into the ferry
steamer Oakland in the middle of the
Day, during a dense fog this morning.
The Newark struck the Oakland aft
paddle box, tearing a hole i'll her side.
but fortunately did not damage her
machinery. The Newark came out of
the wreck with her rails carried away
at the bows. The deck near the apron
was deeply dented by the OakIand's
SIDE. Owing to the intense fog on the
bay, the boats were doing double serv-
ice, the crowd on each steamer being
double in consequence.
On the Oakland the excitement was
greater than on the Newark. The
force of the blow was such that the
BOAT listed at least twenty degrees
After this lunge to starboard, the Oak
land recovered. but rolled to port when
the Newark backed her engines and
got clear. AS the Oakland rocked on
the water, after the crash. the crowd
on the lower and upper decks rushed
back and forth in a fury of fright
Women fell in fainting fits or went into
Mysteries on the injured steamer. On
the upper deck several women rushed
to the rail to leap overheard, but were
held back by the men. Racks con-
tanning cork jackets were got out on
the lower deck.
On the Newark the passengers were
more easily restrained. that vessel not
feeling the force of the collision as
full as the Oakland. Fortunately, in
the crisis, the officers of the steamers
remained cool. While the captains and
pilots. at their posts \ in the wheel
houses, had extricated the boats from
their positions, the mates and deck
hands, with presence of mind, went
about urging and persuading the crowd
that there was no danger. 1t was
found to be almost impossible to re-
strain the more excited persons, who
let their fears run away with them.
During the half hour that followed
the crew had to be ready. fearing that
any moment some foolish passenger
might try to leap into the water.
But despite the black fog, so dense
the pilots could scarcely see the flag
poles, the boats safely reached the
slips on their sides of the bay.

dresses and ceremonies and a grand mil
itary parade by the federal and state
troops which would then be assembled
here from the entire state and from the
Northwest. This would not require much
outlay from the city of st. Paul, since the
expense of the troops would be betrayed
by the state and national governments.
THE third day would be devoted to
exercises at Fort Smelling, including GER
emonies. reviews and drills and inspection
by the distinguished officials present, and
the public who desire to examine the i'm
provements at the post. This would not
require much expense from the city.
1t is estimated that the necessary ex-
penSe of the celebration could be de-
frayed by a subscription of $4,000 from
the citizens with whatever additional
amount might be allowed by the city
council. The expense for most of the
decorations and parades must necessarily
be borne by individuals. Any additional
expense for fireworks, banquets and extra
features must be provided for by an extra
allowance.
at is earnestly requested that the re-
cipient of this circular indicate which of
the plans he prefers and his views re-
garding the same"
