Fiqhtinq for Mud,

Mud seems to be the latest com.
modify which has been cornered. The
monopolist Is the well-known Bohem.
ian watering place Franzenbad, whose
wonderful healing mud baths are ia.
nous throughout the world. The news
OF Franzenbad's business enterprise
has just become known in the course
of lawsuit at Eyer between the Sax.
on government and the municipality
Of Franzenbad.
Saxony has a watering place also
with mud baths, Bad Elster. Some
time ago Bad Elster entered into ne.
gotiations to buy a large area of
ground containing mineral mud depos
ties near Franzenbad.
When the Bohemian town heard
what was going on they promptly de.
cided to head off their Saxon rivals
and stepped in and bought up the land
themselves. The Saxons were great
ly aggrieved and carried the matter
into the Bohemian courts, which de.
cided against them.
During the trial it was stated that
although FranZenbad already pos
sessed an inexhaustible supply of this
precious mud the town had spent more
than million crowns in buying up al
country in order to secure exclusive
possession for all time Of this valu
able healing remedy.

Warner Among First Two-Cent Riders

Gov. Warner was one of the first
men in Michigan to take advantage of
the two-cent railroad rate, purchasing
ticket at the Lansing union station
for Plymouth under the new rate
$126. A few days ago there was a
rumor that in revenge for the two
cent law some Of the railroads would
discontinue Sunday trains on many OF
their lines. The Grand Trunk will
run no Sunday trains In or cut OF
Grand Rapids during the winter, but
it Is declared that this has no con
nection with the two-cent rate law,
Sunday excursions will continue as
usual under the two-cent rate, but at
the old prices. Special weekday or
convention rates, Communication tick
cts, and party fares have been discon'
tinued by all roads.

Lansing-Gov. Warner has issued
new railway ommission-Cassius l..
Glasgow, Of Nashville; James Scully.
OF Ionia, and George w. Dickinson, of
Pontiac. The members of the commits
sion met Monday to take the oath of
omhe and organize the board, after
which they took an adjournment for
about two weeks. Commissioner
Glasgow will go to Washington to at
tend the meeting of the National AS
ISOLATION OF Railroad Commissioners,
and Commissioner Dickinson will go
to Ohio to familiarize himself with
the workings of the railway commits
sion OF that state. Commissioner
Scully is expected to remain in Mich
igan and study railroad law until the
board convenes. He will probably be
In charge Of the Office of the commits
sion in the capitol, as the law pro-
vides for the presence Of one of the
commissioners at Lansing at all times.
AS result of the creation of the new
commission the expense of the rail
road department will be considerably
increased. Railroad Commissioner
Glasgow receives $4,000 a year, but
all three commissioners will receive
$4,000 salary. The salary of the me-
chanical engineer of the department,
James Bfce, will be increased from
81, 500 to $2,5e0, so that the salaries Of
the department officials will be $500
per year more than at present. Trav-
cling expenses will be increased pro-
portionately as the commission will
have to make good many journeys
about the state. One Of the first du-
ties which the commission will under
take will be to make an inspection of
the electric railways of the state, and
to advise all the railway companies
regarding the nature of the reports
they will be expected to make to the
department.

The Detroit Tigers Won the Coveted

PCUUdUt-
The very strenuous games Of base
ball that have been played during the
past few weeks for the pennant have
shown that the national game Is one
Of the greatest. Never has any con-
test kept the whole people In such
keen anxiety or developed a more
widespread love of good wholesome
sport. Detroit's victorious team has
given the city thrill beyond express
sion. and those who may have regard
ed the city as of little Importance are
now taking notice. The town went
wild with joy when the pennant was
won by the sturdy "Tiges" at st. Louis
on Saturday. When the worlds cham
pionship series opens in Detroit, the
banner crowd Of the years will throng
the streets and the famous "Whee-e-

threats. The standing at the close OF
the game won by the "Tiges" Satur-
day, which gave them a cinch on the
pennant follows:

Be More Thrifty.

Gen. VIM. Booth, commander-in-chief
of the Salvation Army, brought Chica-

of the need Of thrift, warning Of the
danger that lie in wait.
Gen. Booth. said the end of the era
Of high wages is in sight; that a grow

clothing for each individual. This prob

America in part, he said, as 1t has
been solved In India, China and
