REASONING FROM
CAUSE TO EFFECT

The regular weekly market letter OF
Griffin Halstead & Co. has this 10 say
on the subject of the condition OF the
local stock market.
q The fact that the local securities have
not reflected the tremendous buliish en-
thusiasm daily demonstrated IN New
York stocks, is causing general COM
ment This may be due TO the bearIsh
attitude assumed by some Of our most
prominent brokers who have prooa ply
IIuuidated local holdings, with the in
tention OF TepuTchasing when the in
evitable break in New York shall oc-
cur.
That the bearish contingent can re-
strict prices here IN the Capital City.
in face of the great advances in the
larger markets and the uDquestioned
and uninterrupted prosperity OF the
country at large IS not reasonable, and
il is our opinion that this condition
cannot obtain long merely for the &C
commodati0n OF certain interests de-
string 20 accumulate at figures below
the market.

TALK TO MlSSISSIPPIANS
ON SENATOR ]. z. GEORGE

The life of the late United States sena-
tor J. Z. George served as the topic Tor
an interesting and entertaining address
by Representative Benjamin G.. Hum
phreys before the Mississippi State So
ciety at the Pythian Temple last night.
Mr.. Humphreys pointed out the many
trials that true son OF the South" as a
young man experienced. but laid par
ticular stress upon refuting the story of
the illiteracy of his hero, which, he said
had been so often told as To become al
most current.
In addition to, the speech, songs dear
TO the hearts of Mississppians, reeita-
uSas. and musical selections formed the
impromptu program of the evening
About 100 persons were present. Light
refreshments concluded the evening.

The occasions. IL is needless to say.
have been delightful ones and none
more so than the third, which took
place last night
On the first occasion the guests and
their host were congratulating them
selves that the sum of the banks de-
posts had reached the half-million
mark.
Pass Two Million Marx.
Last night their satisfaction was
greatly increased by the knowledge that
the two-million mark had been crossed.
As the guests entered the dining
room they were charmed with the ele-
gance of the table decorations. which
consisted of red and white carnations
and white Hlacs being interpreted
lavishly over the table.
Chadwick" Money Galore.
Distributed around the table were
large rolls OF Chadwick money and at
each riate the name card was a unique
and original design touching of the pc
culiarities of the various guests.
The little idiosyncracies so we'll de-
picted were thoroughly enjoyed and the
cards highly priced by the individual
owners.
That the gentlemen present INDUCED
IN some shop" talk could be well I'M
derstood.

Increase Of Grape Crop.

Few people, outside of the immedi.
ate vicinity, have anything like cor
rect idea OF the magnitude of the
grape industry of eastern Van Buren,
county, which Is gradually being trans
formed into one vast vineyard. Within
radius Of eight miles of this village,
which is practically the center, Of the
grape-growing region, there are thOus.
ands of acres of bearing grape vines,
and many hundreds more of young
vines that have not come into bearing.
1t Is yet too early to estimate accu-
rately the amount Of the crop. but
there will probably be shipped from
Paw Paw, Lawton, Mattawan and Lake
Cora not less than 1000 carloads, or
the equivalent OF 100000 eight-pound
baskets. In addition large quantities
are used by the several juice facto-
ries, of which there Is one at Paw
Paw, and three at Iawton. The one
at Paw Paw is crushing from 80 to 40
tons of grapes per day, their daily out.
put of juice being about 1000 gallons.
This juice, which Is unfermented, is
sealed up in five-gallon carboys and
stored away In cellars, where it is left
to ripen until the next spring. when
1t is bottled and sent to market inJcar
load lots.

dore Gerardy, well-to-do farmer, liv-
ing four miles north of Vernon, emp
tied a vial of nux vomica into a cup
partially filed with water, at the
school pump, Monday morning, and
drank the poison in the presence of a
dozen of her playmates.
Her face wore bright smile as she
swallowed the poison.
You're only fooling u.s. cried her
playmates.
A few minutes later the little girl
was seized with commissions. She
writhed in pain, and was carried into
the school building. DR.. Norris, of Co
runna, was summoned, but arrived
only 10 minutes before the girl died
Bessie was bright girl, popular
with her playmates, and of an appa-
rently happy disposition No cause is
known for her suicide. 1t was said
that she quarreled with a girl friend,
but this is denied Two sisters and a
brother and her parents survive.

Continued Increase.

The increase In the earnings of
Michigan railroads is continuous.
Every month shows larger earnings
than the corresponding month of the
previous year. During August, accord
ing to report issued by Railroad Com
missioner Atwood the earnings of
Michigan railroads were $5,216, 923.9S.
This is 100000 more than was earned
during the month of August one year
ago. and is probably the largest amount
of earnings ever reported for a single
month. Up to September 1 the rail
roads of Michigan had this year earned
s35,SS7 900, which is over 100000
more than was earned in the same pc

An old and faithful hunting dog,
owned by Sammy Greenski, famous
Indian hunting guide. Sault Ste. Marie,
led a party from Chase s. Osborne's
camp through the woods to where the
dead body of his master lay. Green
ski had been accidentally shot while
returning from duck hunting trip.
The dog bounded into camp, great
ly excited and began barking and
wheeling toward the woods, giving
every sign he could without speaking,
that help was needed, and he would
show the way. When one of the party
started toward the dog he wheeled
and made off through the woods like
shot. The woodsmen followed him
and the Indians dead body, still warm,
was found. The dog had licked the
blood from his masters wound, and
wher the party reached the dead In

iously shot and killed at the farm
home of his father, Charles Moechel,
IL Waterloo township, Jackson county
Wednesday, was student for one
week at the Saginaw German Luth.
eran seminary. The rules there are
very strict. There has been no haz.
ing, but it is suspected that Moechel
who was intending to become a minis.
ter, may have found the discipline too
severe for his liking. He soon returned
TO his home. His brother. Carl Moe.
chel, is still a student in the seminary
The Moechel family say there was
no cause for suicide by their son.
When he left the house he said he
was going to shoot owls in the barn.
After the first shot he was found dead
with wound over his heart.

Tolstoi said recently 10 Henry New
inson, the English writer on Russia:
you are young and am old, but as
you grow older you will find, as have
found, that day follows day, and there
does not seem much change in you,
till suddenly you hear people speaking
of you as an old man. 1t is the same
with an age in history; day follows
day. and there does not seem to be
much change, till suddenly it is found
that the age is become old 1t is fin
ished; it is out of date. The present
movement in Russia is not riot, it
is not even revolution; it is the end
of an age"
