There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has p4oven
Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

The gradual disappearance Of locusts
in Rhodesia and other parts Of South
Africa is attributed by MP. J. M. Or
pen, a writer on the agriculture Of the
region, to rapidly growing mould.
The invisible seeds are scattered by the
wind and in favorable weather the
growth attacks and destroys vast
swarmS of the insects. Since it's discov-
cry during the last locust invasion, the
mould has been regularly distributed
by the department of agriculture. The
disease thus artificially spread has been
very effective, but dryness has caused
some failures.

RESUME OF THAw TRIAL.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took the wit
ness stand in defense of her husband
and told the story of her relations
with Stanford White the famous ar
chitect who was killed by Harry
Thaw. 1t was the same story she
told Harry Thaw in Paris in l9O5'
when he had asked her to become MS
wife-the confession of one who felt
there was an insurmountable barrier
10 her ever becoming the bride OF
the man she loved.
The defense of Harry X Thaw, I'M
der the direction of Attorney Dolphin
NJ. Delmas of California. began to
assume definite shape and testimony
was placed before the jury to the
effect that Stanford White had been
heard to make a threat to kill the
defendant, coupling the threat with
the display of a revolver; that Thaw s
actions following the killing OF White
on the roof of Madison Square gar
den were considered by several eye
witnesses to have been irrational;
that an uncle OF the defendant was
insane; that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
passed a note to her husband during
dinner at the Cafe Martin the eve
ming of the tragedy; that District At
torney Jerome has this note, and re-
fused, on the demand of the defense,
to introduce it in evidence.
Stanford White, not satisfied with
the wrongs he had heaped upon Eve
Ign Nesbit when she was a girl of 16.
tried to win her away from Harry
Thaw after her return from Europe,
and even pursued her after her mar
riage, according to the testimony of
the young wife Of Harry K. Thaw at
his trial. She also related an alleged
plot of White and Attorney Hummel
to blacken the character of Thaw.

Met a Tragic Death.

A habit Of holding a lighted match
over the vent of a gasoline tank, from
which the highly infammable fluid
had just been emptied, leaving guam
tity of gas which would burn a
vivid blue flame for a few minutes,
finally caused the tragic death OF
Frank Rock, in the village Of Vries.
land.
Frank was employed in his fathers
store, and this frequent feat OF light
ing the gas in the empty tanks seemed
to hold a fascination to him. He had
often been cautioned, but became fear
less.
But the fatal moment came Wednes-
day afternoon when Frank held the
match once too often. There was more
gasoline in the tank than he thought.
There came a flash, a roar, as the top
of the tank blew off and struck the
boy, crushing his head and killing him.

suaaest Tax Apportlonment.

Before adjournment the State Asso-
citation of Supervisors adopted reso-
luton in favor of the apportionment
of a portion of the money derived
by the state from taxes on corpora
lions to the general expenses of the
state government. 1t was suggested
that the subject be given considera-
ton by the state constitutional conven-
ton. 1t is the idea of the association,
expressed in a resolution, to incorpor-
ate the State Supervisors association
under law to be passed by the legis-
lature so that committee from the
association may officially appear be
fore the state tax commission and be
heard with reference to railroad as

Money for Agricultural College.

The agricultural college is allowed
one-tenth of a mill of the general
taxes, with a limitation of 100000 in
lieu of all other appropriations. Last
session this limit was removed for
two years and the institution has been
getting about $4,000 a year. From
what has been saved an engineering
and class room building is now being
erected. Now the board wants to have
a general building to cost about $780,
900. Representative Schantz intro
duced a bill amending the law so as
to permanently remove the limit and
give the college the whole amount of
the one-tenth mill tax. 1t was favor
ably reported out by the Michigan ag-
ricultural committee and now goes to
the ways and means committee for
consideration, with every indication
that it will be passed.

ample, the making of binder Irvine is
only one small part of the work at
the prison. They have large shoe con-
tracts and other contracts. There is
peculiar fact about this discussion OF
binder Irvine making in prisons. The
great criticism of prison labor is its
competition with free labor. Yet the
report of the Saltwater prison shows
that the prison-made Irvine sells at
nine cents, whereas the binder-twine
trust sells its product at IL cents. That
is boldly stated in the report. Be
