him just 10 minutes to dispose OF the

Il cannot bring into my mind that
there is any brilliant future for the
Philippine Islands, and with the sole
exception for the love of family and
home that the average Filipino pos

the Filipino character.
Il for one am not in favor of holding
the Philippine Islands as a part Of the

Jack Is All Right.

Called from the field where he was
blowing. Jack Dunbar, hired man
of a farmer near Casco, was recently
presented with the neat little sum OF
$4,000 left him by the death of a
wealthy uncle.
Jack left his pillow long enough to
run up to Grand Rapids and put his
money in government bonds and then
returned to the farm to complete q
years contract with his employer.
Later, on visiting the family of his
late uncle his aunt announced that she
had invested 100000 for him, from
which he might draw interest regular
ly and followed up her gift with little
Christmas present of $500.
Jack takes his good fortune very
modestly and will locate on a small
fruit farm near South Haven. He is
unmarried and very fond of books
with which he intends to line the walls
of his bachelor abode.

A Solemn Wedding.

Before her death at her home near
Leslie, Mrs. T. V. Craig requested that
her daughter, Hattie, and her affianced,
George Higdon, be welded beside her
coffin, and that her son-in-law, Rev. o.
p. Christian. of Eau Claire. Wis, Of
ficiate. When the preacher arrived the
ceremony was performed. The bride
objected, however, to the gruesome-
ness OF the scene and they were mar
ried in a room adjoining that in which
the body reposed, but which was sep
arated only by an archway. The cere-
mony was witnessed by relatives only.

PRIMARY ENROLMENT.

The first step to be taken under the
new primary election law is the en-
rollment of members OF the political
parties on the first Monday In April.
For this the state will supply every
one of the 1000 and more precincts OF
the state with book bound in half
leather. Two other copies are made
of the lists recorded in the precinct
book, one OF which is to be sent TO the
secretary of state and the other to the
county clerk.
In the enrolment book there are COL
umns for the date, enrolled number,
name, postoffice address, age, nativity.
color, street number, party affiliation
and removal of the voter. 1t is said
that many of the precincts OF the state
contain 600 voters and more and the
question has been raised whether 1t
will be possible to enroll all the voters
within the time allowed. The secre-
tary Of state has a report of one pre-
cinct in Wayne county where there
were S62 votes cast at the last cleo
ton.

Longest on Record.

The Sixth field battery of the U. S.
artillery, commanded by Capt G.. w.
Gatchell, entered Fort Sam Houston
Friday amid the cheers of the local
garrison. The battery broke the worlds
record for long distance practice
march OF artillery, having covered the
estimated LOO miles from Fort Riley,
Kas., to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in
80 DAYS.
1t is by far the longest practice
march ever made by artillery in time
of peace. and no forced march in
time Of war with the exception of Ma
poleon's retreat from Moscow, COM
pares with 1t in distance.
The artillerymen OF the Sixth bat
terry were a sorry appearing set OF
men when they arrived. Their
clothes were in tatters and so covered
with mud and dirt that the color of the
cloth could not be distinguished. The
men are haggard and lean. Many of
them were scarcely able to travel. The
horses resembled moving skeletons.
The battery encountered severe
rains and floods in Indian Territory
and North Texas. They had a hard
time fording some streams, owing to
their swollen condition. A blizzard
swept down upon the battery last Mon
day morning, just after it left Austin
Il continued during nearly all of the
remainder of the march to San An
tonic, about 80 miles. The men walked
nearly the whole distance in order to
keep warm.
The battery lost one man, Private
Arthur Hall, during the march. He
died in the hospital at Austin from
malaria, caused, according to the
statement of physicians who attended
him, by exposure and hardships en-
countered on the march.

The Rate Bill.

A meeting of the Republican men,
bers Of the house commerce commit
tee was held Wednesday afternoon
and they were to agree on a rate bill
which will be reported to the house.
1t will be called the Hepburn bill. The
house has decided not to wait on the
senate in the rate matter, but to put
in and pass its own measure quickly.
The committee, however, will put the
salient and forceful features of the
Townsend measure in the bill. They
will be forced to this TO avoid reDel-

Mrs. Tolla, who slew a man In de-
Tense of her honor, was on Wednesday
granted a reprieve of 80 days by Gov.

Atwood's Figures.

Railroad Commissioner Atwood's
showing of Michigan earnings of rail-
roads during the first eleven months
of the year is pointed to as a reason
why the valuation of the roads to be
fixed by the state board of assessors
must show an increase. The showing
made by the commissioner is that the
earnings of the past year have in
creased over 100000.
At the same time it Is believed the
assessors will also equaliZe general
property at a hSsher figure than the
present assessed value and thus reduce
the rate of taxation. The board will
proceed under the new law giving it
power to equalize general property,
and the attorney general will ask the
court to prohibit such equalization as
soon as the assessment is announced.
thus testing the new law according to
the recent understanding with the
governor.
Discussing the claim that the Pere
Marquette valuation should be reduced
from $27,O00,000 because it has gone
into the hands of a receiver. prom
inent state authority declared that in
the recent consolidation with the C.,
II. & D., the capital was such as to
represent the value of the Pere Mar
Quette to be s45,000,00U.
Tax Commissioner Hoyt, OF Ply,
mouth, is now said to be well enough
to come to the city Friday to act with
Commissioners Shields and Thompson
in fixing the valuations that are TO be
announced next Monday.

HAPPENINGS
THE DEEPEST COPPER
MINE IN THE WORLD
ALL ABLAZE.
THRILLING ESCAPE OF ALL BUT
THREE OF THE MEN WORK.
ING BELOW.
ATTEMPTS AT RESCUE WHICH
WERE UNAVAlLiNG AND
ALMOST FATAL.
RapId Work to Save Life.

The Tamarack copper mine, deepest
in the world, is on fire, with three men
missing who are almost certain to nave
met death in horrible form, half TO
three-Quarters of a mile below the
earth's surface.
Shaft No. 2, where the fire was dis
covered, has been sealed over at the
surface with heavy timbers, tamped
with clay, and also shaft No. 3. 1t may
become necessary to seal shaft NO.
also, TO smother the flames.
The mine contains several hundred
million feet of timber, largely pine,
and unless air is shut off by hermet-
ically sealing all openings, the proper
~ would likely be Quilted at heavy
loss.
There were about 200 men at work
when a timberman and three drill boys
in the twenty-second level discovered
the timbering on fire and gave the
alarm. The cages were speeded
up and down the shafts and soon
the mine was emptied, and all
accounted for, with the eXcep-
ton of three TRAINERS on the
twenty-sixth level. 1t is thought the
missing men were suffocated by the
foul gases and smoke. They are sam
Bozovich, Mike Simonich and an un-
known. all Austrians. The fire may not
spend its force for some time, as the
twenty-second level of No. 2, where 1t
started, is heavily timbered and dry as
matchwood. The shafts are not in dan
ger, being vertical and can be flooded
from top to bottom.
Several members of relief parties
who went down shaft No. 8 in search
of the three trammers imprisoned by
the fire in No. shaft, were overcome
by gas and narrowly escaped death.
Capt. Thomas Maslin and Capt. Ned
Waters led a party which got as far
as the twenty-ninth level, but the
poisonous gases and smoke drove them
back 10 the shaft. Some of the men
were overcome and were hurried 10
the surface, where doctors in waiting
resuscitated them.
In a second party Capt. Maslin, w.
Adams and Samuel BoZovich, the lat
ter a brother of one of the missing
men, were overcome and were taken
to the mine hospital, where physicians
saved their lives only after hard work.
Another effort TO release the men
was made Saturday. Officials called
for volunteers and searching parties
were sent down through No. 5 shaft
Gases and smoke arising from the
mouth of No. / and No. shafts indi-
cate little change in the conditions

Not For Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt will not become
president of the University of Chicago.
The president never considered ser.
iously the matter of becoming presi-
dent of Harvard after his term of chief
executive expired. 1t can be said defin.
itely that after March 4, 1909, the field
of his endeavor will not be university
work. The thought OF Theodore Roose-
welt becoming head of the Rockefeller
institution is inconceivable to his
