In hsMoriam.

aI IESAAcIAukA'
The cup we saw in this fallen world
is Transferred from lip to lip.
After only few days illness Mrs.
Maggie B. Howell, wife of Josephus
Howell, of Bond, Md, was called from
the portals of time into eternity on Sat
u"day morning, July 28, 1906, aged AZ
years, months and II days. The cause
OF her death was typhoid fever. She
was stricken on Sunday morning before
her death.of an illness lasting only few
days and her spirit took its flight. 1t
was as if God had said to her, Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
things prepared for you from the foun-
dation Of the world. "
Mrs. Howell was consistent member
Of the NJ Z. church at North Glade for
several years. May she he transplanted
in a fairer cline, where there isno more
death, 40 more suffering, no more tears.
There everlasting spring abides
And never " .thering flowers"
She did in the hope Of a glorious i'm
mortality. We believe she safely rests
in 'the Shadow Of the Rock. " Though
her voice is hushed in death and an ever
vacant seat, yet the knowledge Of her
Christian character will live in the
hearts of those who knew her. May
the kind words and deeds done be an
insp' alton to those who knew her, to
higher plane of spiri,Ia life, and like
Maggie lite hat life of holiness with
out which no man shall see the Lord.
Funeral services were conducted at
the North Glade church by Rev. J. B.
Shoup. The last look was very impress
sive indeed, especially of her M ~ rel
atives bending over a beautiful casket
and lingering, 10th to part with a fond
mother and relative so near and dear to
! them by the ties of nature She was
laid to rest in the NJ. E. cemetery at
that place.
She leaves husband, three daughters
and one son 70 mourn their loss. The
son and youngest daughter are very low
tn typhoid fever at this writing. The
funeral SCI Eices were attended by the
largest cons .egat.on that ever assem-
bI ! at that place.

TO SETTLE A
LEGAL PROBLEM
SOMETHING THAT WILL BE OF
INTEREST TO cONvIcTS-
IN iONIA.
THE TEST CASE STARTED
II the Law for lndeterminate Sentence
is Decided Invalid About One Hun
dred Will Get Out.
The Legal Scrap Coming.

The unexpected fight on the Mich
iSan indeterminate sentence law was
opened last week before Judge Davis.
of the Ionia circuit court. Just before
court adjourned George e. Nichols ap.
peared in court and filed six applica-
lions for writs of habeas corpus which,
If successful, will release six conyicts
from the Michigan reformatory.
The applicants are Abraham Mama
ca, sentenced January 2, 1904, from
Gratiot for fifteen years for criminal
assault; Frank Bowers, Kalamazoo.
June D, 1905, six months to five years
for larceny; James Potter, Wexford,
August "a, 1904, nine TO eighteen
months for larceny; George Williams.
st. Joseph, six months to three years,
larceny; James II. ST. Clair, Inghani,
October l, 1904, one TO three years, lar
ceny; w. j. Remus, ten to twenty
months, for violation of local option
law in Van Buren, county. The attor-
neys set up that all these sentences
were under the law of 1903 and that
the persons have served out, in some
instances, their maximum sentence, yet
are detained by Warden Fuller under
the law of 1905 until pardoned or par
oiled.
In the case of Manaca it is claimed
the convict is deprived of his rights,
the pardoning power being taken from
the governor and conferred on the par.
don board.
Judge Davis granted the temporary
hearing for Saturday, June 16 and an
nounced that he would have Atty Gen.
Bird present in the interest of the
state.
Warden Fuller thinks probably 100
cases would be affected, as bearing on
sentences to the Ionia reformatory un-
der the 1903 law only.

Cannot Sell Meat.

The wholesale and retail butcher
trade OF Detroit has suffered as a re-
suit of the stockyard exposures of the
past week. Fish and eggs have come
into sudden popularity. More persons
are reading lads" for vegetable ana
cereal foods than ever before. The
lunch counters report that the cause
of vegetarianism has received hosts
of new recruits within few days.
In one section of the city, man
familiar with butchers affairs count
ed 100 cases where meat orders given
during the day had been countermand-
ed.
Trade is falling off rapidly" said
a west side butcher The sight OF
a packing-house wagon fixes the APP
petites of the folks up this way, can
tell you. i could sell 100 chickens, any
amount of fish and eggs, but folks
won't buy meat"
Even some of the butchers who do
their own killing find the people sus'
picious of them. Sausage? l used to
sell 200 pounds a week for free lunch
purposes in saloons. Now, most of tho
free lunch iiends have quit eating

Little Travellers.

Ralph ana Cyril Canrlght aged 13
and IL years, sons Of DR.. and Mrs.
Henry Canright of Calhoun county,
who have for IL years been Methodist
missionaries in China, have arrived in
Battle Creek after travelling alone
from Chentu, hundreds of miles inland
in China. The journey required two
months. The boys will live with their
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Meier
Canright, to secure an American edu-
cation and probably will not see their
parents again until they have COM
pleted their second ten years Of mis-
sionary work-nearly eight years.
When the boys were babies the fam
lily went through the Boxer uprising,
the Canright hospital and buildings
being destroyed and the missionaries
escaping by hiding in an attic until

CHASTITY Work.

A flock Of children were seen early
Thursday morning on the Chene street
car tracks, near the corner of Frede-
rick avenue, Detroit. They picked up
little dirty scraps from the broken
cedar pavement and showed them to
one another, and then laid them down
on a newspaper. After a time two
women came, and the pieces were
taken away. On this spot little Bar
nard Klein, the seven-year-old child
of Frank Klein, was killed Wednesday
night by street car. His body was
struck near the corner of Frederick
avenue, and dragged for 100 feet, then,
mangled and torn, it was lifted into
the undertaker's basket. Until the
daylight came all the fragments Of
bone and bits of flesh could not be
collected, so in the morning the boys
went voluntarily about this CHASTITY
work.

Work for Convicts.

State Commissioner of Highways
Earle has concluded his examination
of the rock piles at the old Cliff,
Phoenix and Huron mines in Kewee-
nav county. lie says the rock is ideal
for roadmaking and he will recon-
mend to the next session of the legis-
lature that a branch prison be estab-
lished in that section. He says the rock
can be broken and crushed at little
expense, and by building a railroad
from the Cliff location To Eagle river
it could be landed there and shipped
TO lower Michigan ports by boat at
little expense. AS there is strong OBJ
lection to using convict labor in the
state for the manufacture of articles
which enter into competition with
union labor, it is believed the project
will receive hearty Endorsement.

Nay 4, 1908, while filing papers in the

Eases. He had known, or suspected for
months, plot to kill him, but at the
time was completely off his guard.
The bullets came from the corridor OF

with men.
Every soul in the court house and
the adjoining streets, swarming with
life, had found shelter, so great was
their terror of the unknown, unerring
narksmen. The body OF Marcum lay
untouched for 10 minutes, not even his
friends daring TO approach it.
The worst aspect Of the whole case
