three of the bottles on the inside of
the bars. The bottles were good play
things and soon he struck one with
his paw and it fell over and broke on
the stone flooring. AS the liquid ran
out Jack shifted at it and then began
to lap it up. 1t was evidently palata-
Bile to his taste, for he got right down
to business and began to lap 1t with
an energy that indicated an immense
thirst. He managed to get perhaps
half Of the wine before it had run
away, and then deliberately knocked
over a second bottle and went through
the same performance.
The workman had by this time re-
covered from his establishment and
called to the keepers. They inserted
the rake through the bars in an at
tempt to get the third bottle out, when
the bear observed them. He caught
the bottle in his two paws and began
to chew the cork Off. AS soon as suf-
ficient of the cork had been removed
to permit the contents to effervesce he
held the bottle off at arms length, then

Production of soapstone.

The troubles of the paper manufac-
turers are reflected in report recent
ly made by Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt
to the United States Geological Sur
vey on 1.-The Production of Tale and
Soapstone in 1908" The total produc-
ton of tale and soapstone of all varie-
ties during 1903 was 5S,901 short tons,
valued at $644,060 The production in
1902 was 1884 tons, valued at $1,140,-
507. These figures show a decrease of
S9,053 tons i'm amount and of 1896, 447
in value, due to a large decrease in
the production of fibrous tale in New
York. The tale resources of the En-
pire State are no less abundant than
ever, but the year 1908 was notable
for strikes in many of the states pa
per mills and a decreased output of
fibrous tale was one of their results.
The annual production of this material
is invariably affected by anything that
influences the quantity of paper man
ufactured, since its chief use is as a
filler for paper.
There was no considerable falling
off in the tale production of other
states A decrease of only 1873 tons in
quantity was reported. The produce
ton OF all the states In 1903, exclusive
OF New York. amounted TO 26,67l short
tons, valued at s41s,460, but the pro-
auction IN new lOfk IN lJVo amounted
to only 1920 short tons, valued at
1925, 800, whereas as output for 1902 was
II, 100 short tons, valued at S615,35
Usually the tale production of New
York Is double In tonnage and about
the same in value as that of all other
states.
The fact that new deposits were
developed during 1903 in Georgia is
worthy OF special mention. The prin-
cipal mining has been done In Murray
county, two miles east of Dalton. There
is also a deposit of tale two miles
from Background, Cherokee county, and
another near Canton, Cherokee coun-
ty. About one-half of the product OF
Georgia is put on the market in the
form OF ground tale.
Deposits we're also opened in YER
mont, adding considerably 70 the
years output. They are I'm Windsor
county, about three miles southeast OF
the village of Rochester.

descriptions OF the tale deposits In the

Only One Simon Pure. >
From the Byron Herald.


As the political pot" is beginning to
boil with more intensity day by day,
we think it well for the democratic
party to note what is being done for the
candidates on the democratic ticket by
the Shiawassee county democratic COM
mittee.
Before taking up the present cam
paign let us review the work of two
and four years ago.
Four years ago good, clean demo
cratic ticket was placed in the field. At
that time it was claimed that, as there
were many republicans dissatisfied with
the republican nominee for the Office Of
sheriff, the democrats by concentrating
all their energy on Daniel Gerow, might
be able to elect him (Gerow) sheriff.
How well that plan was carried out
needs no explanation. Mr.. Gerow was
elected and during the next two years
built up q strong machine composed OF
democrats and republicans.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-10-28

ter? Well, there isn't much use in
wasting time guessing on this contest.
Shiawassee taxpayers, republican tax
payers for the most part because they
are in the majority anyway, but demo
cratic taxpayers too who do not care to
pay four times the cost of a republican
sheriff for the fun of electing demo
crat, are going to elect Charles w.
Mimic to the Office of sheriff by one of
the old time majorities. They are not
going to stand for the continuation of
the same machine in power with a
change in the name of the nominal
leader only. Their machine candidate
took his nomination at the hands of the
present democratic sheriff and his ma
chine fully aware of the nature of
the bills and the magnitude of the ex-
pense account at least Of the first year
of Sheriff Gerow's administration be-
cause by the latters own published
statement the democratic nominee was
at that time member of the auditing
committee on the board of supervisors
and assisted in auditing the bills pre-
sented by Sheriff Gerow. No attempt
has been made to deny this. No at
tempt has been made to deny the truth
fulness of the figures published. They
cannot be denied. Neither can the fact
be denied that the taxpayers of Shia-
wassee county are preparing to do
things to the democratic machine a
week from next Tuesday Nor will
they regret it. Sheriff Charles w.
Mimic will give the county chance be-
ginning the first of next January. And
the county will have chance to profit
by the good business training through
which this energetic, self-made young
business man has passed and by means
of which he won the nomination fairly
and squarely and now has won the elec-
tion. There is no mistaking the fact
now. Charles W. Mimic is going to be
elected sheriff.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-10-28
Notwithstanding four wears ago was

Notwithstanding four years ago was
a presidential year, the democratic
party in this county seemed to loose
sight of national, state. and county
ticket, for the purpose of electing
democratic sheriff.
During the campaign of four years
ago all that could be heard from the
democrats in the county was Gerow
-Gerow-Gerow.
Two years ago Mr.. Gerow was re-
nominated and many republicans sup
ported him in the election on the
ground that as. he had been to great
expense in securing his past election.
he should be entitled to second term,
therefore the cry of Gerow-Gerow-
Gerow, was again raised and the rest of
the democratic ticket was forgotten and
Gerow was reelected.
During the past four years Mr. Gerow
has built up strong machine composed
of his deputies and members of Shia-
wassee county democratic committee, Of
which Mr.. Gerow is chairman.
The democrats of Shiawassee county
in convention assembled some time ago
placed in the field good, clean ticket.
composed of good, honorable, upright,
representative men of this county.
After the ticket was placed in the
field Mr.. Gerow as chairman of the
county committee looked over the list
and decided there was but one of the
'simon pure" in the entire outfit. and
that one through the eternal fitness of
things (he being true counterpart of
Mr.. Gerow in form, features, habits,
even his voice,) were contained in one
Warren Jarrad. And the cry of Jar
id-Jared-Jared-b been heard
from all quarters of the county, but
never the name of any other democratic
candidate has been mentioned, in fact,
the other democratic candidates have
been Jared until their faith in the
party is badly shaken. The question
has been repeatedly asked, why so much
attention has been paid to the election
of democratic sheriff, and the rest of
the candidates on the democratic ticket
ignoredg The true explanation to the
question appeared in the Owosso Times
OF October IA. and Owosso Argus of
Oct. Is. Such conduct of Office makes
hard campaigning for all other candi-
dates on the democratic ticket.
If the candidate for the Office of
sheriff is to receive the entire support
OF the county committee, in future why
not leave the balance of the. ticket
