TOO MUCH OF A SUMMER GIRL
Because Wife Refuses to Return
Home Roy Bowers Tries to
Commit Suicide

Roy Bowers of Covert attempted to
commit suicide at South Haven last
Sunday, because his wife, who was en-
ployed at one Of the summer hotels and
having a good time, would not return to
their home with HIM.
With revolver be fired two shots
into himself, one striking a rib and per-
haps saving him from instant death, and
the other lodging at the left of the heart
making an awful wound. He was ser
iously injured, but may possibly re-
cover.
The couple were married but a year
ago in Covert and we're hardly over their
happy days. Finding the village toe
small aud becoming somewhat dissatis-
fed, Mrs. Bowers went to South Haven
and secured a position IN one of the
hotels.
Thinking that his wife was becoming
too much of a summer girl" Bowers
drove there Sunday. He tried to get
her to go home, but was met with a fiat
refusal. Turning on his heel, he drew a
revolver and fired the two shots.
The wife was received by the dying
husband at the hospital with wide open
arms. She, aside from saying, "He was
a good boy" refused to talk.

Charles McGurrin of Kalama>
ZOO Challenged to Fight
Duel in France.
TO FIGHT WITH TYPEWRITERS
Operators Across the Pond Anx-
ious for Touch of High Life
on the Machine.

Charles McGurrin of Kalamazoo
whom you all know as the champion
typewrtst of the world, has been chal
challenged; think OF
ito fight duel with a couple of fire
chewing Frenchmeu.
1t might logically be inferred that
either McGurrin had insulted the frog
eaters or that they had insulted him,
aud that the weapons were to be pistols
or swords or stuffed clubs or something
OF that sort, but such is not the case.
The Frenchmen have heard all about
McGurrin and his wizard-like achieve
ments with the typewriter and are jeal-
Gus. In the first place they don't be
lieve he can do the stunts that have won
him renown even unto the plains of
Timbuctoo, aud in the second place they
have an idea that they can trim him
anyway.
Messrs. j. Nicault and Leon Paul have
written to A. Navaree of the French
uhgdLlu6s Ic CbCuOSloPAO AhuoeAOi I"
letter in which they say that as a rule
the Americans like to publish news
which will spread quickly all over the
world, regardless of whether it be right
or wrong. And then, getting down to
"bezness," they continues
eve put on challenge and to suit con-
I L. NJ Mn(NnrriF, of
Kalau azoo, to write with whatever type
writer he likes during 30 minutes, not at
the rate of $50 words per minute, which
it seems he recently did, but only at the
rate of 100 words per minute. We re-
duce one third this fantastic quickn ess
and we are quite sure that neither he
nor any of those having beaten records
of this sort will protest against this chal-
lenge
"Prizes of 500 francs C3l0O) each will
be given to the two typists able to write,
not $50 words, but only 100 words per
minute on a typewriter of his choice.
The contest will be held before the
public in Paris, the place to be made
known in advance
When the intelligence was conveyed
to Mr. McGurrin and he was asked his
decision, he yawned and then proceeded
with the following spiel without even
throwing a chill;
81 haven't made up my mind whether

REFORM SPELLING

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT OR

CIAL DOCUMENTS.

DR.. G. G. Scott of New York, secretary
of the simplified spelling board, is elated
over the presidents order that the Gre
form spelling" be used in official docu-
ments issuing from the White House.
He believes that it is the greatest step
yet made in simplifying the spelling OF
English, although, even with presiden-
tial endorsement, he does not believe
that there will be any sudden change
from the old established spelling.
Public Printer Stillings has responded
to the presidents phonetic spelling or
der with letter of hearty endorsement
Mr.. Stillings says he has no doubt that
every department of the government
printing done in the printing office will
speedily adopt the recommendation OF
the simplified spelling commission.
Mr.. Stillings has appointed commits
sion to revise the manual of style of the
big printery, and says the 300 words
which have been reformed" will be in
cluded in the new manual

LEAGUE RECOGNIZES THIS.
Have Had Their Eyes On Him
For Considerable
Time.

The Kalamazoo Gazette is authority
for the following, which appeared in last
Fridays issue of that paper:
"a report FROM Detroit is to the effect
that Captain Red Killefer of the Kala-
mazoo White Sox will be signed by the
Detroit American league management
to play next season.
"For some time it has been a we'll
known fact that the bigger leagues have
had their eyes on the celery city star.
He is recognized over the entire circuit
as one of the steadiest PLAYERS. His
errors at his position are so few that
they are a rarity, and his manner oi
welding the elm this season has caused
all the twirlers to dread to see him step
up to the bat. His hitting this year
has been far better than ever before
Although no articles of agreement have
been brought up between the Detroit
management and the local player, it i:
likely the transaction will be cousum
mated"
Reds" success is our JOY. Our bunch
of fans as a unit will bank on him. We
have him slated to trot with the bie
ones, and it's cinch he's going to make
the goal. His star is in the ascendency
Just note this prediction.
