Correspondent
ERRoNEN0Us REPORT OF new TREATY
1t Was Said Chinese Merchants and
Students Were to be Excluded
From America.

U. S. Consul Davidson, temporary sue
cessor of GOodnow as consul at Shang-
mai, arrived from the Orient this MORN
ing. He discussed the Chinese boycott.
He said the trouble was brought about
by telegram sent to Shanghai by an
American correspondent of a Shang-
mai newspaper. The telegram, which
was reprinted throughout the Chi
nese empire, stated that in drawing up
the proposed new treaty certain phras-
es were inserted pertaining to the ex-
clusion of students and merchants.
This created intense excitement
throughout the empire and mass meet
ings were held everywhere. Davidson
believes the boycott will end within
six months.

Peninsula Farmer.

HANCOCK, Mich, Aug. 15.-Four
black bears in one day were bagged
by Frank Lipkie, farmer, living near
Matchwood, Ontonagon county. Look
ing out of a window at an early hour
in the morning, Lipkie saw a quartet
of bruins-motner and three good
sized cubs, maneuvering around his
garden, and seizing his rifle he quickly
dispatched them, although they had
commenced to run. A bear that was
attempting to raid his pig pen was
killed by John Wilson, farmer, living
on the Greenland road, also in On
tonagon county, but in this instance
the cubs got away. Another bear killed
in Ontonagon county was bagged by

AppIejack In the Lemonade.

SOMERVILLE, MI, Aug. ia
gallon of Jersey applejack poured into
a large milkcan filled with lemonade
at a church festival has caused no end
of trouble in the hamlet of Annandale
sixteen miles from here. After drink
ing freely of the decoction, a number
of young men and women performed
strange antics at the festival which
shocked the staid old men and women
of the village and stirred up a scandal
that will be the town talk of AMMAN
dale and the countryside for many
day. Just who injected the applejack
into the lemonade is a mystery which
the church committee In charge of the
festival mas been trying to solve ever
since the disagreeable affair.
At first there was an attempt to
keep the affair quiet but the fact that
a number of young women of the COM
munity of high moral character per-
formed a skirt dance on the church
lawn, while others became hysterical,
was more than the church committee
would stand for, so it mas been in
duced to run down the cu1prits who
doctored the lemonade.

Deal for Fight Fails.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 1.-THE S2o,-
900. 900 oil deal, whereby the Mellon
syndicate of this city was to take over
Kansas and Texas properties for the
purpose of waging a fight against the
Standard Oil company, is practically
off. The Kansas delegation, headed
by S. j. Mundy, has left for home. The
hitch is said to have arisen through the
inability of the Kansas people to DEM
onstrate to the satisfaction of the To-
cal men that the, territory optioned
would produce enough oil to justify tne
construction of pipe line to the gulf.

Few Days.

State Auditor Clausen has an
nounced that the quarterly apportion-
ment of state school moneys is $14O,
9S1.25 as compared with $3S7,775.90
for the same quarter a year ago. The
apportionment by counties will be
made in a few days by the state su-
perintendent.
a feature of this apportionment is
the showing that more than one-half
of this sum is made up not by direct
taxes. The direct tax portion, being
the moneys collected by school levies,
aggregates but $192644.04, while the
current school fund represents interest
collected on bonds held by the state
permanent school fund, fines and rent
ais from school land and interest from
school land contracts.
The May apportionment this year
showed about 100000 from taxes ana
about s41O,OOO from current school
fund.
State Treasurer Mills says that the
proportion which current fund earn
irgs bears to the tax is rapidly IN
crpasing and that the time is not dis
tant when less than half of the money
necessary to conduct the common
schools of the state will have to pe
to be raised by direct taxation.

Minor dinner the cross examination
passed to the cotillion given by Mrs.
Taggart. Taggart mad objected to
the party because it would be neces-
sary to invite Colonel Minor to stand
in the receiving line on account of his
pOsition as post commander. Taggart
said his objection had no weight. He
said he had nothing to do with the
guests He made 80 gallons of punch
from a sense of duty. His attitude
towards his wife's party, he said, was
one of submission.
The tale of Mrs. Taggart's Summing
trip to San Francisco with several Of
fcers was supplemented today by a
story of trip through Chinatown in
that city. Questions on cross-eXami-

the curiosities of Chinatown. Mrs. Tag
