This department when operated I'M
der normal, not ayer-erowded condi-
tons, gives employment to about s2
per cent OF the male prisoners.
We find that The books and accounts
Of this department. had not been audited
by any state auditor until required to
do so by act No. 100 Of the laws Of
1901, which provides that all vouchers,
bills Of account, etc, be sent every three
months to the office Of that official at
Montpelier and audited there. We rec
nmmend that the state auditor perform
this duty at the institution ut least ey-
cry quarter and that annual, or semi
annual, inventories be taken at such per
iods as are most convenient for the
management and as win least interrupt
the business.
We find that the manager and book
keeper Of this department have never
given bonds for the faithful perform
ance of their duties and recommend as
a matter Of business prudence and pre-
caution that they be required to furnish
at the expense Of the department bonds
in some indemnity company licensed to
do business in this state, III such
amounts as the directors may require
We find the responsibility for the
management of this department to be
separate and distinct from that Of the
care and discipline OF the prisoners and
recommend that this condition be CON
tinued as at present, as being conducive
of the best results
This department is under the super
vision and management Of Mr.. M. r.
Brown, whom we find 10 be compe.

KILLED BY The
DETROIT TRAIN
John Hill of Orleans Meets a
Tragic Death.
Drove on the Track I'm Front OF Early
Morning Train and was Thrown
over Fifty Feet-Horse killed.

John Hill, one of Ionia countys most
prosperous farmers, met terrible death
at the crossing near Orleans station Tues
day morning The particulars as near as
we are able to learn are as follows:
The train which arrives here at z:24
was sided to await the coming of the De-
troit train which leaves here at z:44, and
freight train also stood waiting. Mr.
Hill noticed the two trains standing there
and was watching them to see that they
did not start while he was on the track
and it is supposed that he failed to hear
the approach of the train from the other
direction.
Just as he was fairly on the track the
fast approaching train struck the horse
ard buggy at the same time throwing Mr..
Hill over fifty feet and the horse and buggy
several feet further. The horse was killed
instantly, the buggy smashed to pieces
and Mr.. Hill so badly injured that he
probably never realized what happened
His right side was all smashed in, his col
lar bone broken and one ear nearly torn
from his head Only for one moment after
his accident did he show signs Of con-
sciousness, and he asked to be raised up.
Kind friends raised him up but the pain
was so severe that he indicated to be LAID
down, after which he became unconscious
and remained so until abou three o'clock,
when he breathed his last.
Mr.. Hill leaves besides the grief stricken
wife, two sons, George l. Of Orleans and
Frank Of Edmore, and two daughters,
Myrtle who lived at home and Mrs. Ida
LaDow, who also lives in Orleans. He
was prominent man in his community
as we'll as in the county; was 90 years OF
age and few years ago was the candi-
date of the Democrats for sheriff, running
against Frank Moon.

SPIRIT OF UNITY.
Detroit Baptist Pastor Advocates IT.
Also Talks About Immersion.

Detroit Baptist Pastor Advocates IT.
Also Talks About Immersion.
The thought of unity was strikingly
presented in speech by Rev. Allen I.
Hoben, Ph. D.. pastor Of the First Baptist
church, and president Of the Pastors un-
ion, at the dedication of the 100000
Woodwork avenue M. E. church in
Detroit last Sunday.
Unity of the, churches looks like an i'm
practicable dream. but it is dream
worth having, said DR.. Hoben. 1t is being
partially realized in tho Y. M. G. A. and,
Y. w. c. A. The dat. llizing effect Of.
conflicsing congrerarses is SEES, net
strongly in the rural communities, where
one town of 500 to 800 will have half
dozen weak churches, planted by as many
denominations in so-called strategic points.
Each of these receives support from the
denomination at large. Ministers are sent
there on discouraging salaries. Their os-
tensible mission is to preach Christ. Their
real business is to run race with the
other struggling preachers for few scat
tering souls. In one such town where it
would seem the very cats and dogs must
be converted, know that the ma ajority of
go to no church whatever.
Can we expect layimen who realize the
necessity of cooperation in business life, to
contribute to cause which is handled
with so little economy9 Church unity is
practicable in those fields: at least The
mass of christians are Wiling to unite up
on essentials and drop non-essentiale.
believe some day there will be board to
establish strong union churches at those
strategic points. 81.
You say the Baptists will notegveAup
immersion. The day is coming when the
Baptist church will say to the car6id ate
for admission, We believe that Christ was
immersed, but if Christ is willing to &C
cspt you we are willing to let you follow
your own conscience as to form Of baptism.
In return for this, you Methodists ought
to be willing to put baptistries in your
churches for those whose consciences die
tate our form. We Baptists would con-
tribute little toward that cause with
good grace.
In this city, believe the denominations
could cooperate with good effect to hold
the down town districts.

the FIRST N0-H|T
GAME OF THE
SEASON
Grand Forks Bunch Let Down
by Winnipeg Pitcher With
out a Single Hit.

Harold Bond ct al-alias the Winni-
peg Maroons-defeated the Grand
Forks Brownies at Athletic park yes
terday afternoon in the second game
of the present series, presumably as
an evener for the defeat which was
suffered on Monday at the hands of
Tuesdays defeated. The day was
nasty raw one, with Hudson Bay zeph-
yrs and arctic circle showers indis-
criminately mixed. Truly it was an
ill wind" that blew nobody Ground
Grand Forks good!
With the locals it was a clear case
OF an overdose of Bond, whose medi-
cine was so mixed the eX-Tigers, now
the Brownies, could not stand the
dope. For five short semesters the
game waxed glad and the row of zeros
adjoining the score-board reminded
one OF setting time in the gander
yard, but in the sixth which has come
to be something Of hoodoo for the
nome aggregation, the Peggerville art
lists fell upon Bushelman and did
smote him. When the tracks in the
mud had been counted the score keep
er found that he had no further use
for zero to infinity and hung up the
~>AAAAAA huhASAdA luSledu. lu6TG
was further grief in the seventh, when
the visitors added another tally, after
which time the score tender hunted
for his zero tins.
During all this period, and both be-
fore and after, the locals had been
wildly ramming the aforementioned
Hudson Bay breezes, without effect
other than to lower their respective
batting averages. To make long
story short Harold Bond for the Can
ucks let the locals down without a
single safe hit in the entire nine in
nings. The nearest the locals came
to securing one was in the last half
of the ninth, when Luderus drove into
left field back of thirc base. Tucker
happened to be playing in close and
after long run stopped and barely
got his hands under the ball. He
dropped it, however, in attempting to
recover his equilibrium. Ordinarily a
fielder would not have gotten close
enough to have even made an error.
