Guests Panic Stricken.

Fire which started in a Kalama-
zoo restaurant at $50 Thursday night
spread to the Star novelty store and
the Hotel Burdick, the chief hotel of
the city, and caused total loss of
100000. For time the entire business
section was apparently in danger. The
guests of the hotel were in panic,
many being almost overcome by smoke
before they could be rescued by Clerk
Frank ID. Robinson, who stuck to the
elevator as long as there were any
people to be brought out. The Star
store stock is ruined, causing a loss
of $4,000; the building is damaged
$4,000; the hotel is damaged $4,000;

is owned by r. r. Howard, of Detroit.

The Wedding Scene.

Standing in deep drifts, during a
binding snow storm, the mercury sew
eral degrees below zero, Elmer Olson
and Miss Agnes Johnson were married
on the Michigan shore of the Menomi-
nee river.
When Olson presented a Michigan
license to marry Miss Johnson at
Homestead, Wis, Rev. Swan Magnu-
son, who went from Ironton to tie the
knot, threw up his hands. Seventy-f1ve
relatives and friends had gathered to
witness the ceremony. The minister
could not perform it there without a
Wisconsin license.
A consultation was held. 1t was de-
cided to make flying trip to Michi-
gan, there have the knot tied, and re-
turn to celebrate the event.
Into sleighs, bride and groom, min
lister, the bridesmaid, sister of the
groom, and Andrew Wahlstrom, best
man, were bundled within few min

The unexpected news that Irving c..
Tomlinson, Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy's
confidential adviser and president of
the Christian Science church organiza-
ton, had left Concord, N. H., early
Saturday on a secret mission to Bos-
ton, caused great excitement among
the attorneys for the petitioners in the
suit for receivership of Mrs. Eddys
estate, who were in conference as for
several days past, in the Parker house
That some startling development in

Tomlinson went to Boston to consult

There is certain to be wide future
for the small college. 1t has a place
TO fill which can be taken by no other
educational force. The small college
is commonly located in small town.
It is quite sure to depend in large
measure upon the patronage and sup
port of men to whom life has been a
hard and serious problem, says Cleve-
land Leader. To such colleges will
come students who find it difficult to
obtain means for any education be-
yond the limits of the public school.
The influence upon the civic life and
social ideals of the American repub-
JIG which springs from such colleges
and universities-for some have a
wide range of usefulness and many
departments-has been exceedingly
valuable 1t will not be less so in the
future.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Will Try to Make Them Neutral
Ground


From Washington comes a story re-
garding the alleged scheme on the part
OF high United States government
officials to bring about the neutraliza'
ton of the Philippines. The story was
first exploited by the London Tribune,
as related in cable dispatches last
week. The Suns man says the plan
has not crystalized and has not even
been thoroughly worked out by any
statesman, as far az known. He de-
clares, however, that one of the ablest
members of the United States senate
on the Republican side has suggested
the plan tentatively, but in strong
terms of approval; and that it is a
certainty that the project will be eX-
plotted publicly at no remote time. In
conclusion the dispatch says:
ITO make the islands neutral
ground among all the powers would
remove a cause of anxiety not only
from this government but from the
leading nations of Europe. To render
this plan practicable, of course, no mil.
itary base could be utilized in these
islands by any nation, not even the
United States; and since, under the
naturalization arrangement, the Phil
ippines could not be seized by any
power, the American government
would be under no necessity Of defend.
ing them"
There is said to be a disposition al
Washington to regard the neutraliza
ton idea as a good way to end the
present knotty situation regarding the
Philippines.

All the big gifts to education are
not made public. An anonymous
benefactor of Princeton university
has made the management of that in
stitution happy by a donation which
will enable the university to be en-
larged along important lines. That is,
the benefactor is anonymous so far
as the world at large is concerned.
OF course President Wilson knows,
and from what that gentleman says
it IS inferred that the sum represents
one of the largest gifts ever made to
any university. Sooner or later the
name Of the generous donor will come
out, notwithstanding his modesty.
The prediction that 1907 is likely to
be a record breaker in the matter of
donations to education is in a fair way
toward fulfillment. February alone
has carried the figures to high
notch.

Prisoners Tortured.

An investigation of the report pub
iished in London last month OF the
torturing of political prisoners at Riga,
Divonia, has confirmed the reports.
The prisoners were dubbed at the
time of their arrest during their ex-
animation by the police, who vented
their hatred on the revolutionists and
attempted to force confessions from
them. The bitterness of the police is
due to the ceaseless warfare waged by
the revolutionists on the police. Dur
ing the past two years 10 policemen
at Riga have been killed or wounded
and pitched battles between the police
and revolutionists are still of constant
occurrence.

brother, John Reattoir, from Dakota,

a 40 years separation. They had be-

The family formerly resided at Rag

after his mothers death, Charles left
home, and went to New York, where
he enlisted in the Second New York
regiment in 1864. In his absence the
remainder of the family left their home
town and he did not know where they
had gone. Later, through newspa-

traced others of the family. But no
trace of the brother John could be
found. The latter had gone to the Da-

WAS ILLEGAL.
How Confession Was Extorted in
WAYNE County Jail.


Because George Powell and Charles
Walker, colored, attempted to escape
from the Wayne county Jail Sheriff
Burns took extraordinary and illegal
means to force them to relate the de-
tails of their plans. Shackled to iron
rings attached to the walls of the
dungeon, their arms stretched high
above their heads, the men who dared
were kept upon the torture rack until
they begged for quarter and consented
to disclose the manner in which they
procured the implements that they EN-
ployed in the effort to secure their lib
erty. After the men confessed that a
woman confederate, Margaret Ander-
son, had struggled saws into the Jail
in piece of beefsteak, the sheriff Or
dered them to be kept in solitary and
painful confinement for an indefinite
period.
Some of the Jail officials said re-
garding the matter: There is nothing
unusual in this treatment of refractory
prisoners in jails. The dungeon and
the iron hooks were placed in the
Jail by the county auditors for that
express purpose. There must be re-
straining influences in institutions
where desperate men are employed,
and there is plenty of occasion for
chastisement. Every once in while
small rebellions develop in wards
where troublesome characters are con-
fined, and there must be some way of
reminding these men that they cannot
do as they please. These men are des-
perate characters. They admitted that
they meant to knock Deputy Poole in
the head with pieces Of steel bar they
sawed from their cells, and the sheriff
feels that he was justified in taking
extreme measures to learn their plans
and whether other inmates were con-
cerned"
