THIS MISS HAD TWO PAPAS
She Told Playmates. Twas Then
Time For Her Papa
to Move.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jason Parker, who re-
Gently located in Port Huron and claim
ed to hail from Covert, were quiet peo-
pie and apparently a model couple.
They were well received by their neigh
bors until FIVE year-old little Miss Par
kerr remarked when playing at neigh
boris: "Ain't / lucky I've got two
papasw
This aroused the neighbours curiosity
and when the "Parkers" heard of ii they
suddenly disappeared. The very next
day man and woman arrived in the
city and notified the police that they
were seeking another man and woman,
their respective spouses. The second
couple were Harry Packard and Mrs.
James Morton of Covert, and from de-
scriptions of the "Parkers' they identified
them as their deserving partners.
The above was copied from the Detroit
News. On inquiry we find that the par
ties referred to are Perry Packard and
Mrs. Hiram Norton of Covert. The for
mer was taken into custody by Sheriff
Britton, Saturday, at Holland and the
latter at Hartford, Friday. We under
stand that their difficulties have all been
settled and the principals discharged.

TAKING THE KINKS
OUT OF THE TRACK.
TRACTION COMPANY PUTTING
TRACK IN SHAPE FOR
FAST TIME.

The Kalamazoo, Lake Shore q Chica-
go Traction company has put large
force of men at work on the new track
between Mattawan and Paw Paw, and
before winter comes the track will be as
good as the track which was purchased
from the Michigan Central Railroad
company and as good as any interurban
line in the country. On laying the track
it was necessary, because of inability TO
get certain tracts of land, to make a
number of sharp curves. These are be-
ing taken out and the track made such
that it will not be necessary to sacken
speed except at places where stops are
made.
One of the worst places along the line
is about three miles west of Mattawar,
where the road passes under the Mich
igan Central railroad 1t is at road
crossing and the curve on each side is as
sharp as at any street corner in the city
1t is necessary TO flag the trains through
this tunnel. A wide curve is being made
on each side.
Another big improvement is at Law
ton. The track leading to Paw Paw is a
quarter of mile east of the station and
it is necessary to run up TO the station
and then back to the main track. Track
is being laid a mile around to the west
of the Lawton station and connects with
the main line again.

ROSE BUG PEST IS SOLVED
Everett of Volinia Discovers a
Way to Get Rid Of Them.

The Everetts, of Volinia, report pros
poets for one of the largest crops of
grapes in their neighborhood in the his
tory of the industry. Mr.. Everett val
ues his crop conservatively at $500
The rosebug, thought so destructive by
some growers, he says bothers him very
little. He says they visit his vineyard in
great numbers but he has solved the
matter by employing large topped fun
nels with long necked bottles at the low
er end and two or three men to go over
the vineyard. The bugs are easily shaken
off and bottled, and once gathered they
do not return. Their season is only a
few days long Dowagiac Times.

COMMON COUNCIL
REGULAR SESSION.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
FOR THE NEW DAM ARE
ACCEPTED.

The village council met in regular
session Monday evening After the reg
ular routine business was disposed of,
the dam proposition was brought up.
The plans and specifications for the hy-
dro-electric plant were presented by
Engineer Maltby, and after some discus
sion were accepted and adopted, subject
to such changes and revision as may be
called for in further examination.
The village attorney was instructed 10
prepare the necessary resolutions, pre-
paratory to condemning such parcels of
land needed for fowage as cannot be
purchased reasonably.
1t is to be regretted that the howage
cannot be purchased reasonably without
these proceedings, but it seems that it
cannot be done. The majority of the
people want the dam. 1t was voted al
most unanimously, but they do not want
the cost to exceed the amount as voted
A petition has already been circulated
asking the council to lay the matter on
the table indefinitely if it cannot be done
for the $4,000. 1t is believed, however
that if the first cost, that of purchasing
the fowage, is not too great, the work
can be done inside of the appropriation
The council has moved carefully, and in
our opinion judiciously in the matter
and with the cooperation of the public,
which they should receive, everything
we believe, will come out right il the
end.
Claims amounting to s526.73 were al
lowed.

paSSaDle gull. But IN tne mean Ilne
his people have learned much"
"They learned last summer that his
armies and fleets had been hopeless
ly and in some cases disgracefully
beaten by a nation they had been
taught to despise. They have learned
that the rich nations of the world
doubt the stability of his rule, tighten
their purse strings, and will lend to-
him only on usurious terms. They
have seen regiments, then garrisons,
and crews of ships mutiny against his
authority, and the most docile and UNI
questioning army. of the world mani
fest with relative impunity an insub
ordination that three years since would
have been followed by swift death of
all offenders. They have seen the Gar
| in his despair turn or profess to turn,
| to them, asking advice and aid and
the support of his children And now
| they see their representatives driven
| from their chamber, and the old harsh
rule re-established. And this at mo.
ment when their hopes had been raised
to the highest. Famine and bloodshed
prevailed in whole provinces, and to
| the cry of his suffering and disturbed
people the autocrat responds only with
defiance and repression. The best of
the courses open to him would have
been desperately difficult, he has chos-
en- the very worst"
| The Car is justified from a legal
standpoint, however, by the Philadel-
phia Press, which warns the Douma
against provoking resistance. To
quote:
| Had the Car dissolved the Dou.
ma and refused another election, re-
voking the constitution, or fundamen-
tai law already granted, reaction and
| revolution, autocracy and inSurrec-
ton, would have been face to face
In dissolving the Douma he has done
nothing but exercise his constitutions
al power. Under the fundamental law,
like every other constitutional sover-
eign, the Car has the right to dis
solve representative assembly and
bring on the election of another. The
Gar has ordered such an election and
the assembly of another Douma within
six months. This is a strictly consti-
tutional appeal to the people
| IF the constitutional Democrats re-
fuse this appeal and seek to reassem-
BILE the Douma, it will be they, and
not the Car, who begin revolution.
They will put into the hands of reac-
ton the one efficient weapon its lead
ers need, an illegal act, by the repre-
sentatives Of the people. If the Douma
accepts the appeal to the people, the
temporizing Gar has but postponed
the inevitable. Half year hence he
will again be face to face with an
other Douma, fresh from the people,
more implacable. more powerful and
possessing all the momentum which
gathering revolution always gains.
"A rising, false step by the dis
solved Douma refusing the appeal to
the people, worst of all general
peasant outbreak. may plunge Rus
STA into blood and fire, such as the
world has not seen or will not look
upon its like until the dead dumb
millions of China stir from below"
