Some two months since, was asked
by few persons to become candidate
for sheriff. accepted their proposition.
Since that time have done practically
nothing to push my claim, in fact do
not deem it policy to annoy the dele
gates to any great extent.
/ understand some Of the candidates
who are figuring for the nomination for
sheriff and some other county Offices are
claiming their many friends have near
ly torn their clothing off in urging them
to become candidate, etc. In this re-
spect, can say, my friends have used
me nicely, haven't even soiled my
clothes at all.
At this writing am still candidate
for the nomination for sheriff on the re-
publican ticket for Shiawassee county,
and hope between now and the I'd day
of August to meet all of the delegates
and should fail to do so before said
date, have arranged for rooms at the
Grand Central hotel, Corunna, for my
headquarters and would be pleased to
meet you at the time mentioned.
Remember, am as usual, a republi-
can, and with one exception, no matter
who the lucky one is to secure the NOM
ination for sheriff, he will get my
hearty support, and l am sorry to say
there should be one exception, but that
is on account of an agreemet being brok-
en-, which / consider is enough.
Most respectfully yours,

court calendar for several years with
perhaps half of the cases accidentally
left out by the printer. Whether this
innocent exaggeration be true or not,
the fact remains that Mr.. Hamper has
had fully as many opportunities to be
heard in circuit court practice as the
m ,jority of his contemporaries, and he
has made good use of those opportun-
ities.
Mr.. Hamper had good experience in
the Office of the prosecuting attorney for
Cooks county, Illinois, where the i'm
mense amount of Chicago criminal
work was tried, for number of years
before, on account of his health, decid-
ing to leave Chicago and come back to
Michigan to locate permanently. While
in that Office he assisted in conducting
no less than fourteen murder trials.
After coming to Owosso he continued
his interest in this phase of legal work
and is we'll fitted for the investi-
cation and conduct of such cases. Be-
sides such cases he has developed prac-
tice along general lines.
Four of the cases in which he has
taken leading part in the circuit court
were regarded of sufficient importance
by the defeated parties to be carried to
the supreme court. These were: Rohra-
bacher VS.. Woodard; Ismond vs. Scou-
gale; The Rogers Shoe Co. VS.. Ash, ct
al; and Lingle VS.. Owosso Sugar Co.
Some of the other cases on which he
was engaged which will be remember
ed by the people generally are: Farrand,
Williams e. Clark VS.. Hoisington; Bar
tholemew VS. Gale; Albach VS.. Ann Ar
Dor Ry. Co.; Hibbard VS.. Bennington
Creamery Co.. The Owosso Telephone
Co. vs. The Michigan Telephone Co.;
Robert E. Travis VS.. The Owosso Coal
Co.. ct al; the voluntary dissolution of
the Stever Car Oiler Co. John X. Jones
VS.. Chas. J. Wimple, ct al Ellen Howe
VS. Chas. E. Reed, let al; Walter E. Ward
VS.. the City Of Owosso; Conklin VS..
Conklin; Southworth VS.. Kent; the
People VS.. the following different de-
PENDANTS, among others, at various
times George Moore, Philip Randall,
McPhee, Hiram Taylor, Swayze, Green
walt, etc. Others which will be re-
membered are Remington VS.. Wash
burn; Lamb VS.. the Imperial Stock &
Grain Co Monroe vs.. DeArmon; Rose
wear VS.. Townsend; Maudlin VS.. Owosso
Telephone Co.; Crate VS.. Curtis, ct al.
These are all in addition to the consid-
erable number Of chancery cases in
which Mr.. Hamper has been engaged,
the number Of divorce cases alone on
which he has been retained either for
the defense or the complainants being
of no small size in comparison with
others. lifr sRpi. s--sl
Without going into any more detail
than the above it is seen that there
must be some sort of reason for the
feeling on the part of Mr. Hampers
friends that his record as practicing
lawyer before the circuit court is fully
up to the average and needs to have lit
tie said about it even in the matter of
calling the attention of the voters to 1t.

Valuable Gift.

At the opening of court this morning,
Attorney Geo. II. Raypolds made a
statement to the court that was of much
interest to the attorneys. He reported
receiving letter, from Hon. John J.
Boobar, librarian of tie house of rep
resentatives, Washington, in which he
said that he had secured for the Stearns
County Bar association complete set
of the reports of the United States
supreme court. Judge Searle ap.

torney Reynolds, Attorney Geo. w.
Stewart and Attorney N. Fl. Miner of
Sank Centre, to prepare a resolution
extending thanks to Mr.. ~Boobar in
accepting the gift, that the resolution
when prepared be spread on the min
utes Of the court and that the committee
interview the board of county commits
sioners with the view of blaming an
appropriation for the proper safekeep-
ing of the reports in the court room or
some room adjacent thereto with a
view to making the reports a nucleus
for court room library. The reports
are indeed a valuable gift and would

The Freaks of the Types.

A friend met Whitelaw Reid, the
veteran editor of the New York
Tribune, the othe. day and said to him:
81 see you are to be on the advisory
board of Mr.. Pulitzer's new college of
journalism at Columbia University.
Do you expect in your school to put an
end to the typographical error"
"The most we can hope to do" re-
piled Mr.. Reid, lis to mitigate its hor-
rors. You can't abolish the typo
graphical error any more than you can

Prince of Wales visited this country
of writing an editorial on the subject.
I was young and ambitious, and 1

things. 1t began, The Prince OF

The Strength of Gun Steel.

There is going on at the present time
steady advance in the strength of the
metal used in guns, says John F.
Meigs in the Scientific Americans
Special Number on Iron and Steel.
The elastic strength of metal now
commonly used in larger guns is about
10000 pounds per square inch, and in
the smaller guns it runs as high as IS,
600 pounds per square inch. This,
however, is used only as an additional
margin of safety, largely because the
reaction thereby set up in the carriage
is so severe that nothing would be
gained by tightening the gun. Light
ening the gun would only mean put
ting additional weight, and perhaps a
weight greater than that saved, IN the
gun-carriage and foundation. Many
are of the opinion that the advance in
the strength of gun steel should be
pushed farther, but it would be hard
to do this without lowering to some
extent the elongation asked for in the
meal at rupture. This now runs in
the neighborhood of Is to % per cent,
and it could wisely be lowered for the
sake of gaining harder and stronger
metal, because The entire operation CT
the gun is within its elastic limit.
When it moves outside of this and be-
comes permanently enlarged, com
paratively slight enlargement would
give warning, and the gun would be
laid aside and not used any more.

TRIBUTE TO THE cow
Col F. M. Woods, delivered
The Following Eulogy at
Springfield, Ills. at a
Recent Stock Sale.

"Grand and noble brute! OF all the
animal friehds of man she is the great
est! To her we owe the most. Examine
into all the different channels of
commerce into which she enters and
note the result should she be blotted
out. A Sunday stiffness would then
prevade the stock yard industries of
our large cities and grass would grow
in our streets. Fifty per cent at least
OF the freight that now plows the con-
tinent from ocean to ocean would be
side tracked, for there would be moth
ing for them to do. Fifty per cent of
the laborers would draw no pay Sat-
urday night. Our tables would be
bare of the greatest luxuries With
which they are now covered. Oh! you
would abuse cow. 1 wish 1, as you
are about to sit down to the noon day
meal, might slip up and remove fl ON
your table what the cow has placed
thereon. I'd take the cup of milk
waiting at the child's chair. I'd take
the cream, the cheese, the butter, the
custard pie, the cream biscuit, the
steak, the smoking roast of beef and
leave you to make a meal of potatoes,
beets, pickles and toothpicks.
"1,'s the self-same cow that made
the great western plains to blossom
like the rose and were it not for her
they would revert to the Indians from
whence they came.
"None others like the COW! There
is not thing from nose to tail but that
is utilized for the use ofman. We use
her horns 20 co NIB our hair. her skin
upon our feet, her hair keeps the
plaster upon our walls, her hoofs make
glue, her tail makes soup, she gives us
our milk, our cream, our cheese and
butter, and her flesh is the greatest
meat Of the nation, her blood is used
to make our white sugar, her bones
are ground to fertilize our soil and
even her paunch she herself has put
through the first chemical process
necessary for the production of the
best white card board paper and they
have discovered thai such paper can
be made into the finest quality OF

In the settlers clearing; it was her
sons that drew the prairie schooner
