necessary.

to the friends who have so Loyalty
given me their support my heartfelt
thanks and sense of lasting obligation,
and to express to the state my deep
gratitude for the honors it has seen
fit to confer upon me.
The senator, it is reported, shows
more signs of permanent improve
ment in his health than he has at any
time since his illness. He 70 still con-

Il am a candidate for senator. and

ceives the largest vote to be accepted

he can enter the. state campaign as
the senatorial nominee and render eff
cient service for all candidates upon
the state and county tickets. II | am
nominated, | promise to represent the
entire state to the best of my ability
and | ask the earnest and active CO.

candidacy"

sru,aIIy Kicked and Stabbed.

Stabbed, kicked and stamped upon
by her husband, Mrs. Louis r. Wood
worth, OF Detroit, is glad to be alive.
But for the interference of neighbors
the woman probably would not be. As
It, is, her face is covered with scars
inflicted by case knife in the hands
of her husband, one of her ribs is
broken, the result of being trodden
upon by the infuriated man. and she
is suffering greatly from nervous
shock. And yet, she says 1t was moth
ing more than she expected to receive
at his hands some day. For some time
Woodwork has been moody and his
wife has noticed recently that his
mind seemed impaired. Frequently
she has heard him talking in his sleep
and always about his wife in violent
language.
