 The report of the shooting of, Lew- ellyn Grimes, which reached here yes terday, and was to the effect that he had died from the wound he had in- fiicted in his breast, was erroneous. Mir. Grimes was brought to Selma last night and placed in an infirmary, Int 1t is not thought that he will recover.
 It is now stated that the wound was inflicted with suicidal intent. Of late Mir. Grimes has been very Respondent, over the fact that he was deaf, this affiiction having recently come on him. Other imaginary causes also preyed up- on his mind.
 Friday morning after eating break fast with D. F. Gilmer and his family, he went into his room. He then de- cided to end his life ana taking his pistol from a bureau drawer, he placed tt against his left breast and fired;

1t is greatly to be desired from the
point of view of what is best for all the
people of the state, that the amend
Inent to the constitution permitting the
employment of convicts in the prisons
Of the state shall be adopted. AS to
whether or not the prisoners shall be
employed or shall be compelled to en-
aare that most torturous of all punish
ments, solitary idleness, is the issue
which this amendment fairly presents,
rs without its adoption there is no as
sarance that any provision for constant
employment in the prisons can be made.
The fact that such desirable industry
as the manufacture of Irvine binding
cannot be provided for the prisons of
Michigan unless this amendment is
adopted gives present purpose and prac-
&cal Importance to this amendment,
which will be submitted TO the voters at
Che coming April election.

American Farmers Hold the Balance
of Power.

The Rocky Mountain News sounds
d note Of warning to those who fatter
themselves that they can retain the
benefits Of Protection for their own in
aastries while withholding Protection
from the agricultural interests. The
warning Is especially addressed to the
Sugar Trust, which is accused of an in
eaination to grab more than its share of
Che profits Of beet sugar production at
expense OF the Colorado beet growers.
The News reminds Mr. Havemeyer
Chat the Tariff on refined sugar is in
force by the consent of the farmers of
Che United States. and that the farmers
have the power to take off that Tariff.
Hence he had better deal fairly in the
matter Of the farmers interest in sugar
beet prices. The admonition may we'll
apply to others than Mr.. Havemeyer.
There ore people urging Free-Trade in
0'xaw materials that ARE the farmers
faaished products but with no idea of
distinguishing Protection for their own
htAished products. They foolishly imag-
lane that they can keep for themselves
the Protective Tariff shield against for
sdgn competition and at the same time
expose American farmers to unrestrict
cd competition. 1t cannot be done. In
che matter of votes the American farm.
ONO hold the balance of power. They
are in O. position to demand and compel

ton with the last services to the de-

burial receptacle, embalming, funeral
arrangements, or any other like matter;

better than in the past to render ade-
quately those services which are re-
quired in case of death.

ment he has made every provision for
