AMONG THE FILIPINOS AT
THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION

of the Igorrates, was undecided
whether or not to have Chief Antonio
wear them when he was presented to
President Roosevelt at Washington
Besides Antonio there were no less
that five sultans and a datto who were
anxious to pay their respects to the
president. All of these were not able
to 90 to Washington, although the
president said that he would receive
all of the chiefs officially at the white
house. Those on whom this honor
fell were the Datto Fancundi of the
Samal Moros and Pitiilian, chief
sultan of the Lake Tanao Moros, and
Antonio, the chief Of the head-hunting,
dog.eating Boutack Igorrotes.

a long stick pounds il into flour.
Boiled rice is also used extensively in
the Moro village, together with crabs
and fish caught in the lake. Dog flesh,
however, is abhorred by all the Moros,
and TO say chow dog TO a Moro will
cause him to run for a bolo at once.
Although very sensitive and quick
tempered, il is seldom that any
trouble occurs in the village between
the natives and the American visitor.
Once in a while, though. a fanatical
Moro will run amuck, as was the case
several days ago when Arsenic re
fused to participate in the native
spear dance upon being ordered to do
so. Instead, he ran TO his hut over
the lake and secured a deadly kriss'
which. from all appearances, he in
tended To use promiscuOusly, and was
stopped only at the point OF
the managers revolver. The
savage Sas put in chains and the
papers stated at the time that the
rest Of the tribe held a council and
decided 20 behead him and have a
feast Is, il was said. is the custom IN
their island. This statement, how
ever. was the product of the magma
tive mind Of one OF the press agents
here, as the Moros are not cannibals
and no such suggestion was made.

will recite numerous minor woes and

hopes and buried sorrows are rarely
suspected by her most intimate

well, but many a woman who is

Special Election March ?.

A resolution was passed by the city
council Monday evening at the request
of the citizens sugar beet committee,
fifty-three in number who were at the
meeting, calling for special election
March to vote upon the question Of
paying the Indebtedness incurred by
that committee in its efforts to fulfill an
agreement to secure 1000 acres of beets
for the sugar company which was part
of the consideration paid for the build
ing of the plant in this city.
The council passed a resolution Oct Z,
1902, guaranteeing 5000 acres to the
company and the committee signed an
agreement Oct %, 1909, to assist the
council by securing 1000 acres of the
guarantee.
Contracts for but 800 acres could be
secured by the committee which was
compelled to raise the other 500 acres
itself in doing which it incurred debts
to the amount of $lS, 000-a full state
ment of which is being prepared and will
be placed in the hands Of every voter,
together with copy of the resolution
passed by the council and of the agree
ment signed by the citizens committee
That the amount due is debt of hon
or to be spread upon the tax rolls the
committee is confident it will be able to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of every
voter and it only asks to be heard before
Judgment is passed.
The committee believes that all bene-
fittedNby the sugar factory should pay a
portion of the tax, and that the full
amount would be burden to the COM
mittee, which has already given much
of its time, has paid and will pay its
full share of the tax If the resolution is
endorsed by the voters.
A special election was made necessary
by the fact that $4,000 in notes will
fall due early in March. To compel the |
of new loan would be a |
hardship on each member of the com
mittee, many of whom use the limit Of |
their capital and credit in their bust
ness

A Marvellous Aerial Globe.

One of the attractions planned for the
st. Louis Worlds Fair will be an aerial
globe, 700 feet high. Some idea of its
magnitude can be obtained after com
pairing it with the popular Ferris wheel,
which is considered crude affair beside
it. This statement is also appropriate,
after comparing the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters with the other
stomach remedies. It's 80 years record
of cures puts it so far in the lead as a
family medicine that the others are con-
sidered crude affairs and hardly worth
a trial. Then don't delay longer, as de-
lay is always dangerous, especially in
cases of Indigestion. dyspepsia, consti-
patton, biliousness insomnia, chills,
colds or malaria, fever and ague. The
Bitters positively cures these ailments
as thousands have voluntarily testified.
Try it and see for yourself.

Farewell to Grocers.

w. E. Hall, who leaves March 1st for
Durand to manage branch of the
National Grocery Co. in that village,
gave farewell banquet to the 90 gro
GERS or grocery firms of the city at the
Hotel Wildermuth Wednesday evening.
Rev. G. III. Hanks and G. G. Duff, the
tea broker, who were present, delivered
addresses and each business man or firm
expressed regret at the departure of so
good citizen as Mr.. Hall from the
local business world. Mr.. Hall will not
move his family from this city.
w. E. Hall started in to handle
groceries 81 years ago, as Clerk for G..
G. Duff March 12, 1891, in partner

went into business and was very sue

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change
a few years of married life will make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint
echo of the charming maiden. There
are two reasons for this change, ignor-
ance and neglect. Few young women
appreciate the shock to the system
through the change which comes with
marriage. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant drains which are often
consequent on marriage and mother
hood, not understanding that this Sc
cret drain is robbing the cheek of its
freshness and the form of its fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
Of the delicate womanly organs, so sure
ly when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Half

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES BY

a Comp arison of the Primary Elec

A 81 TEMENT TO TIE PUBLIC.

A Sd TEMENT TO TIE PUBLIC
Note-Because OF the persistent misrepresenta
aon OF my position on this question, deem
II due to my friends and the public generally
to make this statement, setting forth briefly
my views upon the subject
In considering the question of primary
reform, the central fact ought never to
be lost sight of that the evil to be done
away with is the improper use of money,
patronage or other corrupt influences in
making nominations. 1t always has
been and always will be my earnest en-.
deavor, whether in private or in public
life, to do all in my power to aid in the
work of securing clean politics for Michi.
gan. There is no doubt that great
number of the people of this state are
favoring direct vote primary law, but
the position taken by some that such a
law must be mandatory in all instances
and made applicable to every nominee,
from township constable to justices of
the Supreme Court, and that it must by
legislative enactment be forced upon
every county in the state, even though
against the will of the people, and with
out regard to whether the conventions
of those counties have been kept free
from political corruption, seems to me to
be too extreme a course. / find many
who favor primary laws which follow
along the lines of the primary laws of
the great majority of the other states.
In nearly every instance these laws
make it optional in the different counties
or districts as to what system shall be
adopted This, it seems to me, repre-
sSrYts. the true principle Of self-govern-
ment.
Personally, believe primary law
should be> passed by the next legislature,
and I trust> that every citizen in the
state will ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and careful
iy study any proposed Jaw and compare
il with the primary laws Of other states,
which have been in operation for sever
al years. The mandatory. in all cases,
direct primary voting laws of such
states as Mississippi, Florida and Texas
should be compared with the optional
laws of Ohio, Indiana, California and
many other northern and western states.
II is true that in the latter named states
the laws do not do away with all con-
yentions, and feel free to say at this
time, what have so often said before,
that after carefully investigating the
primary laws of all the states, and their
workings, livery greatly doubt
whether Michigan needs such an ex-
tremely mandatory direct voting law as
some people are urging. No such .ex-
RENE measure has been tried ~ yet ex-
,ept in some of the southern states,
