Keep clean inside al the time. That's
the simple solution.
If you can not diet. or keep your mech
anism going by proper exercise, the self
evident alternative is to take Cascarets,
the sweet fragrant, harmless little vege-
table tablets, that act like exercise on
your bowels, and gently but powerfully
clean out and disinfect the whole diges-
tive canal.
A Cascaret every night before going TO
bed will work while you sleep" and
make you feel fine in the morning"
If you have been neglecting yourself
for some time, take Cascaret night and
morning and break up the "constipated
habit" without acquiring a cathartic
habit"

The Oleo Trade.

Two hundred thousand pounds, Of
white oleo at 10 cents a pound has
been shipped into Detroit every month,
colored, in violation of the law, and
sold there in the state and in neigh
boring states as pure creamery butter
at 20 cents a pound. Uncle Sam loses
over $4,000 a month in revenue by
this evasion of the law.
Several internal revenue inspectors
from Cincinnati have been in Detroit
for the past five weeks investigating,
resulting in a general raid on dealers
which will be followed by arrests. Tons
of white oleomargarine was found in
residences where it was to be colored
for the market. The penalty for viola
ton of the statute is a fine Of from
$1,000 TO $4,000.
They found that this colored stuff
called butter had crept all over the
city. They traced big shipments from
Detroit out into nearly every city and
village in the state, to Ohio and Penn
sylvania cities and towns. They found
that the alleged creamery butter was
being used universally throughout the
city. In one of the prominent hotels
Inspector Slusser took samples of the
butter" being used and found by

Ecuador Earthquake.

Additional information is being re-
ceived by courier from remote districts
indicating that the earthquake of jan
uary 81 was extremely disastrous.
In the neighborhood of Port Linn
ones four small islands disappeared.
These islands were inhabited by fish
ermen who escaped in small boats, in
which they were at sea for three days
until the water became sufficiently
calm to enable them to reach the main
land.
The city of Esmeraldas was nearly
inundated by tidal wave, which en-
tered the port, flooding the principal
streets. All the inhabitants ran for
the mountains in the neighborhood.
All the towns in the province of Es-
meraldas and Manabi were greatly
damaged, and especially Rio Verde,
Camaronas, La lola, Limones, Borbon
and Pinguagi, the most of the inhabi-
tants of which are homeless.
In the Colombian towns of Mosuera,
San Juan and Domingoritz more than
800 persons persisted. At Barbacoas a
severe earthquake was felt, but no
damage Is reported. Antioquia and
other Colombian departments suffered
heavily. At Tuquerres five persons per.
ished under the ruins of falling houses.
Manizales suffered heavily. At Pereira
the tower of a church fell.

THE SIDELL MURDER.

Elmer Hildebrant, OF Howell, ac-
cused by Aide Sidell with his dying
breath of being his murderer, Is now
in the county jail, and though the Of
ficers refuse TO say so, 1t is believed
he has made a complete confession
of the affair. Hildebrant was captured
at the home of John Mari, six miles
from the village, while asleep In a
chair. MARI and his family knew moth
ing of the murder until the arrival of
the officers searching for Hildebrant.
The autopsy held on the body showed
that three balls took effect, one in the
face, one in the abdomen and one in
the shoulder.
Mrs. Hildebrant is also locked up In
the county jail as a witness, and Sner-
iff Pratt will not allow her to be in
terviewed until after the inquest.
The shooting took place near the
Hildebrant home, and the theory is
that Sidell, who was a big, powerful
man, grappled with his murderer,
wrested the weapon from him and
tried to shoot him. The murderer ran,
and Sidell started in pursuit, but got
only as far as the Reed home, block
distant, before he became faint from
his wounds and died.
For some time past Hildebrant has
been insanely jealous because his wife
persisted in entertaining other men.
Her affections seemed to center on ST.
dell, who boarded at the Hildebrant
home. Monday night Sidell threw Hill
debrant, who is a small man, OFF the
porch Of his own house when the latter
tried IN pntpr tho hOusp
Many times lately Hildebrant has
said that some one was going to get
hurt If they didn't keep away from his
house." and Sidell was one of those
to whom he made this threat.

De CasteIIane Divorce.

An urgent" writ was Thursday
served upon Count Boni de Castellane,
making him defendant in the separa-
ton proceedings of his wife, formerly
Anna Gould. This decisive step was
taken after renewed efforts to effect a
reconciliation had proved fruitless.
The count accepted service of the writ,
even calling upon the countess lawyers
TO facilitate fixing upon place where
the writ could be delivered.
The bill of complaint was filed at
the same time. 1t follows very closely
the countess prima facie showing,
when she first asked the courts per-
mission to take action against her
husband. 1t mentions no names, but
particularizes certain incidents in
which the count is alleged to have par
ticipated, and it asks for a decree for
what the French law terms "separa-
ton of body and property" meaning
complete material separation without
a dissolution of the bonds of matri-
mony.
The court holds the bill of complaint
in the strictest secrecy, but the fore
going are essential features of Its con-
tents. 1t can be stated with absolute
positiveness now that the countess has
finally inaugurated her action that 1t
is her intention to secure a decree at
the earliest date possible. The count
will not contest the granting of a
decree

THE DANCE OF DEATH.

A Los Angeles dispatch says: BE
hind the plush curtains of the Del
monte tavern here was enacted anoth-
er tragedy of Bohemia, with gilded
youths as the only spectators. Eight
days ago, while dancing on table in
the theatrical resort, Miss Minnie
Blough burst blood vessel and died in
a private conveyance which was quiet
ly called to convey her to a private
hospital. No inquest was held and a
doctor hurriedly gave certificate that
death was due to abdominal hemor-
rhages. The death certificate gave the
name of w. M. Phillips, of GAINESVILLE,
Mich, as the informant. An autopsy
had been performed showing that the
young woman was on the way to moth
erhood in an abnormal way and death
would have resulted, although in a
less spectacular way.
The burial in GAINESVILLE, Mich, OF
Miss Minnie Blough, aged %, who
died at Los Angeles, Cal, was sup
posed to have hidden the secret of a
tragedy which has caused sorrow in
the home OF Samuel Blough, well-to-
do farmer. The remains of the young
woman were brought home by Clyde
and Lillian Blough, brother and sister
OF the young woman, and an attempt
was made to keep the cause OF death
secret. Los Angeles authorities have
investigated, however, and find that
she died of an internal hemorrhage in
the midst of a revel of a theatrical
resort in that city. The name of a
wealthy eastern tourist is mentioned
in connection with the case and it is
said he paid all Of the expenses of
bringing the body home.
Minnie Blough was married two
years ago to Sam Dysenger and lived
at the 500. They separated and Minnie
and her brother and sister went to Chi.
cago and thence TO California. They
were employed in restaurant in Los
Angeles when the eastern tourist men.
toned became attracted to Minnie and
paid her contant attention.

RAILROAD
TAXATION
THE TAX COMMISSIONS
SECOND THOUGHT
CHANGES 1T.
THE TAXES ARE INCREASED BY
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS AT LAST.
THE GOVERNOR PLEASED OVER
THE RESULT OF THE WORK
AS FINALLY DONE.
Same Rate Applied.

The corrected railroad tax assess
ment was completed by the state tax
commission shortly before midnight
Thursday after forty-eight hours OF
hard work on the part of the commits
sioners. While the assessment has not
been increased, the board has prac-
tically ignored the Galbraith law per-
hitting an equalization between the
general properties and the railroads,
and has fixed the rate at the amount
termined was the average rate levied
on the general properties of the state,
which it has been ascertained and de-
termined was the average rate levied
on the general properties Of the state,
thus increasing the railroad taxes half
a million dollars.
The total tax assessed against the
railroads on the tentative assessment
of January 10 was $3,026,000.
Under the present assessment the
tax to be paid is $S,5S4,021.43.
The rate that is now applied is
$17.40 that being the rate which gen.
eral properties of the state paid last
year.
Apparently the board of state asses
sors maintained the values at which
the railroads were assessed, making
only such changes as the information
which was obtained on review seemed
to justify. A few of the railroads made
showings which seemed to entitle them
TO a reduction of their assessments,
among them being the Wabash and
some OF the smaller lines found by
Profs. Cooley and Adams TO be over
assessed.
1t will be seen that by the applica-
tion Of the rate of taxation found to
have been paid on the general prop
critics last year the railroads will be
taxed approximately 100000 more
than it was proposed to levy under the
Galbraith law.
The present assessment, therefore,
wipes out the 100000 reduction in the
roads taxes provided for by the orig
inal assessment and adds 100000
more to the total.
The governor made the following
statement regarding the assessment:
1.-THE railroads will pay under this as
sessment 100000 more taxes than
they would have paid under the figures
first given out by the tax commission,
and 100000 more than they paid last
year. The railroads will now be as
sessed at over one-eighth of the valu-
alton of all the other property of the
state as fixed by the local assessors.
This, l believe, to be fair ratio, and
it certainly will be accepted as such
by the people of the state. This action
of the tax commission places the rail-
roads on practically the same basis as
the general properties of the state for
assessing purposes. | do not believe
that anyone will attempt to maintain
that all the property of the state not
owned by railroads is assessed at it's
actual cash value, nor do believe this
to be true of the railroad property I'M
der the present assessment, but, as l
stated before, consider the ratio now
established between the two to be
practically a fair one"
