STATE CONVENTION.
The Whole Fight Was On University
Reoents

After six hours of practically contin-
uous business, closing two of the live
lest days of convention activity ever
known in Michigan, the Republican
spring convention, held in Grand Rap
Ids, adjourned at y. m. Thursday.
The nominations in full were as fol
lows:
For justices of the supreme court
William l.. Carpenter, of Detroit;
Aaron V. McAlvay, of Manistee.
For regents OF the university-Frank
r. Leland, of Detroit; Junius E. Beal,
OF Ann Arbor.
For members Of the state board Of
education-W. A. Cotton. of Escanaba
The fight that preceded these nom
nations was the state administration,
opposed by the railroads. the Atwood
school OF politicians. the Hill and
Townsend legislators, who were MAX
ing Levi l.. Barbour the catspaw OF
their variousi fnies. The administers
ton was threatened with defeat by
tho combined strength OF these three
classes OF "antis" and another ele-
ment, the lifelong friends of Mr.. Bar
bour. whose fight was for that gentle
man rather than against the governor,
and whose work was most effective.
The administration won in the first
great fight of the day, the selection
Of a majority of Leland members on
the credentials committee. IL won in
the second great fight, the seating OF
the Leland men on NE convention
floor.
When this fight was won the Bar
bour men hastily conferred, and Rep.
Norton, of st. Johns, who nominated
Townsend in the senatorial caucus and
had been selected TO nominate Mr..
Barbour, contented himself with de-
livering long eulogy on Mr.. Barbour
when the time came, and then astound-
ed everyone but the few who were in
the secret by Withdrawing Mr. Bar
bours name.
Junius f. Beal was nominated by n
sweeping majority after four days of
campaigning. Saginaw and many OF
the Hill people outside were for Dean,
and this naturally rallied the COVER
nor's friends to Beal
Justices Carpenter and McAlvay
were renominated by reclamation,
and w. A. Cotton, of Escanaba, who
has made no campaign, but was
known TO be the administration
choice, won the nomination for the
state board OF education over NJ. O.
Graves, of Petoskey, by the biggest
majority OF the day.

Died to Save Dog.

Affection for his faithful old dog
caused the death Of Matthias Van Tas-
ell, aged 60 years, near Kalamazoo,
Wednesday afternoon. The aged man
had gone to patch of woods to cut
down trees Just as he had one ready
to topple over he noticed his dog lying
directly in the path OF the falling tree,
asleep in the sun. Van Tasell jumped
and kicked, saving the dog, but was
caught and crushed. A widow and six
children survive him.

TYPHOID is PREVALENT.
Health Authorities Try to Find Out
What Is Wrong in Northwest.

yF1ve counties in extreme northwest
e0 Kansas. and three or four more IN
Kansas are sur1erlns
from ar epidemic of typhoid feyer
and DR.. S. j. Crumbine, of the state
board of health, la sent H. N. Park
er, the United States photographer
detailed for the examination or KAN
sas water supply, to examine the We
ter which the people in those
are drinking, and to ascertain, IL pos
stble, the cause of tie epidemic
UGH examinations as ave been al
ready made show the presence IN the
water of most of these localities or
coli, which are the germs which are
found when typhoid fever is likely to
be produced by drinking the water.
The tests are being continued, and the
names of the infected communlties
will not be announced until all the
discoveries are confirmed =,
1.-THE conditions in these counties
said DR.. Crumbine this morning
seem to be quite serious, ana the
cause, unless we are mistaken is ing
growing custom of empty1ng sewage
into the cesspools. AS the country mas
been growing more prosperous, people
have built good houses, and nave
wanted modern conveniences. Iney
have had no sewer into whlcn 10
empty their drains so they have oulls
themselves cesspoolS. In many o.
these cesspools. there is no cement
bottom, and the seepage has been al
lowed to work off into the ground. IN
many cases, the cesspool reached clear
down to the water strata from "nlch
wells in the towns received their sup
ply. The result has been that the m
creasing number of these
has contaminated the water supply OF
western Kansas, and especially IN
those towns in which there is no sew
er system, and where there is a sha!-
POW underfow of water from wh1ch
Ehe water supply is derived
1.-The only way that this epidemic
can be stopped, so far as I can see, Is
to require that these open bottom
cesspools be thoroughly cleaned out:
and that no more refuse be dumped
into them.
at is quite possible to construct a
c~esspool which will be safe. 1t should
be cemented thoroughly on all side
anG be drained by a number OF tile
piles extending from the tank just be-
low the frost line. In this way, the
cesspool becomes a septic tank. in
which the germs are self-destruetive,
and the waste product is drained off to
fertilize the ground

rived early yesterday and had the
whole Sunday in town to rest and
get ready for today and tomorrow s
double performances. Last nights
storm did not damage the show
any, and today's weather is cool
and just right. The usual big
crowd was on hand at the train and
on the grounds to see the show I'M
timber. and the intelligent elephant
came in for his share of praise for
the assistance he gave in butting
the heavy wagons into place.
At the show grounds near the
courthouse the big tents went up
as if by magic, and the show was in
better trim than usual for the street
parade this morning. The cavalcade
was given a hearty reception all
along its route. The fine horses eX-
hibited were a big feature of the
aggregation. 1t was noticed that
the show has added to its
menagerie this year.
The company permits no
gambling games in connection with
the show and makes a speciality of
courteous attention.
At tonishts performance the
tents will be lighted by new fire
proof invention. The program is
given in rings and a platform per-
hitting the audience an unobstruct-

formances begin at . and p. N. to.

OUT
OVER $4,000

John Riplinger's shortage will
approximate $4,000. There is a
total debit against him of 9,S6S.55
and a bank credit of $16,9S9.91.
Based on the results of a sum-
mary of the city engineers books
OF record the exact deficit between
those books and the amount of
money in the banks, as shown by
Riplinger's bank books when he
turned them over to Harry Carroll,
is $22,87S.64.
In addition to the approximate
shortage Of $4,000, there are other
items outside the amount which
are in doubt and which the experts
are working to elucidate. One of
these is an issue of $4,000 in bonds
ordered held by the comptroller,
but Of which there does not appear
to be any record.
