MIR. Ward Remembered.

Rep. Charles +. Ward, as speaker
pro TEN. of the house of 1907, has re-
ceived a pleasant token from his fell
low members in the shape of a set
OF table silver. 1t is offered, according
to the card which accompanied it, as
a "memento of the esteem in which
you are held by your fellow members
of the 1907 legislature" Some bon
bon spoons for Mrs. Ward accompa-
MED the present.
Mr.. Wards friends say he will ac-
cept an excellent position as soon as
he RECEIVERS from his present illness.
He is still suffering from gastritis. He
is now living in Bancroft. though
when he went away he had no inten-
ton Of returning to this place to re-
side. Before going to Lansing, Mr.
Ward sold his own home and stayed
short time with f. p. Sherman, his
brotheT-in-law, while Mrs. Sherman,
Mrs. Wards mother rented her home
and went TO live with the Wards in
Lansing. Hence when they returned
neither the Ward home nor Mrs. Sher-
mans home was available, and they
sought another place.

SCHOOL MONEY.
Alleged Misuse Of Funds to Be InvestI-
gated.

NueHcu mlSuSe oI TuHuS TO DC inVcott-
gated.
The alleged misuse of about $1,000
of the primary school funds in Huron
county will lead to a thorough investi-
cation OF the disposition of the money
all over the state. The department
says there have been irregularities in
Lake and other northern counties. I'M
mediate investigation of ten districts
in Huron county will be made by A.
Hamlin Smith, chief clerk of the de-
partment.
The department last year sent out
blanks designed to bring out informa-
ton as to the use of the primary
money and on the reports this year 1t
finds that large amounts has been di-
verted by township officers.
Under the departments new system
IL is easy to discover if funds have
been diverted and the effort now is to
find out who got the money; whether
it was used for buildings for other
purposes outside the law, or for per-
sonal gain.
Prosecutions will follow If the pres
ent conclusions of the department are
sustained by investigation Chief Clerk
Smith will go to other counties not yet
designated after completing his work
in Huron.
The attorney general is now inves-
tigating two cases of alleged fraud in
the use of primary funds. In one case
there is said TO be a shortage of $500.

ARRANGING FOR CONVENTION
Congressman Ransdall Is Making

vention to Be Held December 4
to 6.

Westinghouse expected by
many naval officers here, the Allan
tic battleship feet has returned from
target practice off Cape Cod Bay
badly shaken up by the firing of the
heavy guns. Reports are coming fast
to the department Of the damage done
to the individual ships, and there is
some apprehension that the navy de-
partments idea to have the feet In
prime condition by December l may
not be realized. The srractural weak
nesses In parts of the ships, which
seem unable to Withstand the vibra-
ton caused by the gun firing, is again
forcibly brought home. 1t is believed
considerable additions work will now
be necessary in case the fleet is to be
started out on a war footing. For
some time the firing Of heavy guns
has caused trouble to the department.
The Bureau Of Ordinance has Deea
kept busy repairing cracked or their
muzzles blown off, and the Bureau Of
Construction and Repair has repeat
edly been called upon to remedy dam
age done the decks and other parts OF
the ships after target practice. The
battleship Missouri, by firing hel
heavy target guns at once at level
recently damaged the deck SO that
more than $1,000 had to be expended
to repair it. Now the Ohio is dam
aged, and crack has been discov-
cred in the powder chamber of one
of her 12-inch guns, Which may cause
the department. embarrassment. The
gun may have to be replaced, which
spells difficulty, as there are few IF
these guns on hand and it will be diff
ficult to get the work done in the
allotted time. Both the Kearsage
and the Kentucky have returned from
Cape Cod with their S-inch guns out
Of line, and both ships are rather
badly shaken up. These 8-inch guns
guns must be removed from the tur-
rets and placed parallel, and other
damage must be repaired The Mas
sachusetts' 6-inch batteries are be-
ing removed at the New York navy
yard, and it is announced at the navy

Ship On Fire.

New York.--The Austrian steamer
Giulia, which arrived from Trieste
with 1853 passengers, had narrow es-
cape from destruction by fire in mid

blowing violently from the southwest

their knees in prayer, while others

Pure Food.

An important pure food decision,

ing samples Of foods and rugs as at
present employed. Under the exist

joint committee last fall it is re-

vided into three parts. This is diff

large samples and hence the necessity
for the present change in the regula-
