Calhoun late Friday night ISSUED a
lengthy statement addressed 70 the

chased and their services secured

the assassination of character TO In

A LEGAL ODDITY.
Common Drunkenness Brings New
Form of Sentence

One year at diligent and industrious
service on a farm was the sentence
imposed by Judge Adams. Of Kalama-
zoo, upon James Hawley, charged with
common drunkenness and disorderly
conduct.
The sentence is most remarkable
one, because of it's oddly, and as far
as known it is the only sentence OF
the kind ever imposed upon "a pris'
oner:
II at the end Ct the year Hawley
has obeyed every rule imposed by the
court, he will be at liberty to do as
he pleases, enjoying the same rights
as any one who has served a sentence
for an offense.
Elves rules were imposed by Judge
Adams upon which Hawley must act
accordingly.
His behavior must be good and he
must do nothing TO modest or cause
trouble to his neighbors.
He must drink no intoxicants.
He must not visit a barroom, sa'
loon or gambling house, or associate
with any persons of bad character
He must apply all OF his earnings
to keep himself and these dependent
upon him and must at all times be dill
gent and Industrious.

He was sick from head to foot" He

GA years after, Mr. Merritt writes
that his health still CONTINUES
VERY GOOD. and says: Il cannot say
too much in praise of Favorite Rem

STATE RIGHTS.
The Control Of Corporations National
Matter, Says Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt, i'm an address
before Harvard students on state
rights, said in part:
There has been curious revival OF
the doctrine OF state rights in connec-
ton with the question OF the control
OF corporations by the people VINO
know that the states can not with JUS
tice to both sides practically control
the corporations, and who, therefore,
advocate such control because they do
not venture to express their real wish,
which is that there shall be no con-
troll at all.
Honest and fair dealing railway
corporations will gain and not lose by
adequate federal control. But those
who invoke the doctrine of state rights
to protect state corporate creations in
predatory activities extended through
other states are as short-sighted as
those who once invoked the same doc
trine TO protect the special slavehold-
ing interest. The states have shown
that they have not the ability 10 curb
the power of syndicated wealth, and,
therefore, in the interest of the peo-
PIE, IL must ne uOHt ny udtiOhui a.
ton.
Our present warfare is against spe-
cial privilege The men-many OF
them, / am sorry to say, college men--
who are prompt to speak against every
practical means which can be devised
for achieving the object we have in
view-the proper and adequate super
vision by the federal government OF
the great corporations doing an in
terstate business are, nevertheless,
themselves powerless to so much as
outline any plan of constructive states

watched for six years these men, both
those in public and those in private
life, and though they are PROMPT to

so 1t is in every field of public ac-
! tivity. States rights should be pre-
served when they mean the peoples

peoples wrongs; not, for instance
when they are invoked to prevent the

PIucky Banker.

The last chapter in the rise and hll
OF one of Chesaning's prominent 9th

The home cost $4,000 and was built
by Coryell i'm 1901, when he was at
the head OF the Chesaning state
bank and a wealthy man. Coryell pros.

parently went against him, and his FOR

terprise Is Hall Davis. the we'll known
vaudeville actor. who married lnez
McCauley, of this city, and sympath'
lied with Coryell in his struggles.

When II Crashed Into An Ice Train.
Scene of Wreck and Death.

Thursday afternoon, killing five men,

main line for the big express train at
3:45.
The express train had orders for a
clear right of way without mentioning
the ice train, and was making up lost
| time, running at nearly 20 miles an
hour Believing that he had six
minutes leeway, Engineer Roe, OF the
| light engine, pulled out on the main

express engine slicing cornerwise at
the light engine.
The semaphore east of the switch
must have failed to work or else En-

advent of the ice engine on the block
should have set it against the express.
The express train was made up OF

AWFUL NEURALGIA

Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce toe
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure TO return VITA
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has .
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
MY trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as I should
have. but kept up about my many
duties. After a time l became so
weak l could not do any work at all.
l had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times / saw black
spots before them. | consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. VIII

cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief At the end of three
months l had gained ten pounds in
