After six hours of practically contin-
nous business, closing two OF the live
Hest days OF convention activity ever
known in Michigan, the Republican
spring convention. held i'm Grand Rap

The nominations i'll full were rs fol-

For regents of the university--Frank

The fight that preceded these nom

opposed by the railroads, the Atwood

Townsend Legislators, who were max

their various furies. The administra-

the combined strength OF these three
classes OF ANTS aad another ele-

man rather than against the governor.
and whose work was most effective.
The administration won in the first
great fight or the day, the selection

the second great fight. the seating of
the Leland men on aflo convention
floor.
When this fight was won the Bar

Townsend in the senatorial caucus and
had been selected TO nominate Mr..

campaigning. Saginaw and many OF

in the explosion and fire at the plant

has been discovered that one of the
dead men had certificates of deposit
from the First National bank for 5000,
while another had checking account
of $3.50. Others had smaller accounts.
An effort will be made to have this
money sent to the relatives of the

claimed that in most cases the men
had been sending money home for the
support of their families and that
they will be in want. No steps have

BILE that this plan will be abandoned.

Alleged Pollution Of Lake Water
From Garbage Shipped From
Chicago Not Noticed Here
LEATHER ON WELL SCREEN
The Superintendent of Water Co. De-
clares Roi1y Water Due to Lake
Storms. and Not to Sewage
in the Water Mains

For the past month or so the water
flowing through the mains of the Ke-
nosha Water company has aot been as
clear as might be desired Oy some of
the city consumers of water and many
people have been led to believe that
this was due to the fact that the water
of the lake was being polluted by gar
bage being hauled from Chicago and
dumped into the lake north of Mi1wau-
kee. Mayor Becker, of Milwaukee,
has taken up fight against the
dumping of the garbage Of Chicago
into the lake off Milwaukee and if he
finds that there is any reason to be-
lieve these statements true he will go
to the courts and secure an injunc-
ton to prevent the Chicago & North
western Railway company from haul
ing the garbage into Wisconsin. The
opinion had prevailed in Kenosha that
the garbage foated down from Mil
waukee and went into the intake
which is located a mile from the
beach.
Robert H. Moth, superintendent of
the water company, when seen this
morning stated that he could not say
whether or not the Kenosha water
from Chicago but he gave it as his
opinion THAT if any garbage had been
taken into the mains the amount was
decidedly small. He explained that
every possible precaution had been
made to guard the intake Of the com
pany against the entrance of foreign
substances but even with the utmost
care at times these substances get in
to the water. The we'll at the power
house was cleaned out on last Satur-
day afternoon and while no animal
matter was found in the we'll it was
found that refuse from the tannery
had entered the mains. The screens
in the we'll were found to be covered
with great chunks of leather and
many pounds of this sort of refuse
was removed from the we'll. There
was no animal matter of any sort
found in the we'll but it was evident
that the chunks of leather had passed
through the screens in the intake.
This matter was all removed, but
this has not resulted in the water be-
ing entirely cleared up and it is now
thought that the condition of the wa
ter is due to the continued rough
weather on the lake. During the
past two weeks the lake has been
stirred by number of fierce storms
and it is thought that the clay from
the lake bottom has been stirred up so
that it was carried into the water
mains. superintendent Moth be-
lieves that the water in the Kenosha
mains is as pure as that taken from
the lake by any of the lake shore
cities and he states that frequent
analysis of the water has shown that
there is no reason to fear for the use
of it by the people of the city.

WANTS A BABY
Mrs. Mary Clark Would Take the Baby
Advertised in Kenosha

NlTSs MARY A1dTA w OuAu AdNC IAAC lazy
Advertised in Kenosha
Kenosha babies are in demand.
This fact is shown by letter re-
ceived by Postmaster John B. Ma
1oney this morning from Mrs. Mary
Clark, who resides at 4O3, 18th ave-
nue., Milwaukee. In her letter Mrs.
Clark asks the postmaster to give her
the address of the mother of the ke-
nosha baby who was seeking home
and she states that she will come at
once to Kenosha and take the little
girl without any further investiga-
ton.
The letter is of a pathetic nature.
as Mrs. Clark tells the story of her
only child which died during October
and states that the little Kenosha
stranger would be taken in to fill the
place left vacant. AS the little baby,
who was seeking home, has already
been cared for, the postmaster has
notified Mrs. Clark that she will have
to seek elsewhere.

Letters received in Kenosha this

years Of age and resident Of Keno

His left foot is so badly mangled that
it is feared that amputation will be
necessary.
Mason formerly worked in a Keno

BETWEEN TWO HORNS.

Discussing the mess we are in with the Philippine business The Boston Globe says:
 It is apparent. from the poll which The New York Herald has made with so much care, that very few members of Congress are or a the peirel Sargain ,iiit ir obtaining possession of the Philippine Islands. Most of the members pollec are in favor of getting rid or the is lands, and many advocate an immediate sale of the territory winch the Uni ted States obtained from Spain attei the war of 1898.
 Speaker Cannon admits that we arc in a mess" and he expresses the opini ion that we ought to get out of 1t, 'fi there was any honorable way Of get ting out" Unfortunately there is nc honorable way of getting out eHceP' the way that would insure to the Ell ninos self government, whatever thai way might be.
 To sell the Philippine Islands, woult involve this country In an lntamS greater than that which tho antrim, 6erIalists charge in the purchase oi the territory. We assumed authoFlts over the Filipinos with the announced mission of making them selt govern inc and the abandonment of that tash would involve admissions too sinister for the American people to make.
 It seems to be a question of getting out or of wading deeper. Whether it would be an act of infamy for the Tinted States to sell what is now known to be a bad bargain is a ques- tion that has more than one side. If there was not some "infamy'' in con nection with the acquisition of that

Alabama has sown to the wind. She may reap the whirlwind.
 For the first time in many years Alabama is tagging. industrially behind the other States. The results of hys- terical Legislation are being written. The fruits of the warfare waged upon capital are being gathered.
 For the third quarter of the year 1907 Alabama for the first time in many years shows decrease in the number of new industries established. Is 1t the result of a spirit of war to the knife and knife to the hilt against invested capital? Alabama shows a loss for the first time in many years. The South steps gladly forward. but Alabama lags. This loss shows the trend. with progress, still marking the industrial growth of the South. Ala bama shows the first signs of halting and retrogression.
 These are the figures. For the third quarter of 1908. Alabama had 12s new industries established. For the same quarter of this year the astonishing decrease of twenty-two is shown. for the quarter brings forward total of 1o7 Since the record has been kept Alabama never before showed a de- crease
 The figures are from the carefully compiled statistics of The Tradesman of Chattanooga. These figures are gathered each quarter by MT. N. F. Thompson. editor of.The Tradesman. Mir Thompson is the recognized authority on the details of the industrial develop. mont of the South.
 The Legislature-the administration have done the work they started out to do. What is the result? They art written in these figures.
 Figures are pitiless. Consequences are remorseless. The end is not yet.

That Extra Session.

Selma, Journal.
 The Journal does not think there h any extraordinary occasion which war rants the calling of the Legislature of Alabama in extra session.
 The Legislature passed a juvenile court law as it is known. A judge of a court held it unconstitutional and was about to proceed to try youthful offender who came under the pale of the law. A restraining order out of the State Supreme Court stopped the trial. Ought the Legislature to be called together to nullify the injunc- tion granted by the Supreme Court?
 The Journal believes that there Is and. has been room for reduction and eq1alizing freight and passenger rates It confesses it's ignorance of the rai1- road rate question but asserts that it knows about as much about 1t as the that voted for 1t upon the ipse dixlt of the administration. It believes in upholdlng the dignity of the courts of the land-eVery court from a cross road justice of the peace to the Su~ preme Court of the United States knowing that when the judicial arm Se the government Is discredIted law as2 order will be but meaningless phrases. The matter of whether or not three or two and half cents is an equitable passenger rate and whether or not 110 commodities should be hauled at lower or higher rate, 50 far as one or two railroads are concerned, is in the purview of the courts and to attempt to eoerce the plaintiffs to withdraw their case is to set a dangerous pre- cedent to less humber yet compara> lively equally as powerful interests than great commonwealth.

IS THERE ANY REoEssIoNs

It has always been contended that iron was the business barometer, and that when depression struck 1t, other interests were sure to suffer. For been at the top notch and there seems yas yet to be no perceptible let up. There Is, however. we'll defined fear that a period of business recession Is about to set in. Copper is now fgur- ing to some extent as the medium through which to judge the future.
 A dispatch from New orleans says:
 A we'll known bull operator who was successful in the famous campaign led by W. P Brown. but who has been time, is authority for the statement that the bull interest is out of the market He says the decline Is not due to the statistical position of cot ton, but to the general conditions and more particularly to the slump in cop per, which has been reflected on all markets
 A dispatch from Chicago to The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
 Speculative circles heard news today that no longer left them in doubt as to the recession in business now un- der way. It came to their notice that there is a disposition on the part of large manufacturers to reduce their working forces and the one in partio- ular was the Pullman Company, which it was stated by one in close touch with the corporations affairs. has re- duced its working force 6,c00 men al- ready, and that a further reduction is contemplated. It was stated that 2,500 men were laid off Saturday. The sf- feet of this was to depress the gen eral list and even Pullman shares suffered. The Baltimore and Ohio can celed a big contract for equipment
 So far the business recession has not made any perceptible impression on the cost of either labor or material excepting In the copper industry, where the metal price has fallen and labor is suffering a loss through the closing of the mines in Montana.
 Returns for the month of July are now available for thirty-seven rail- roads, which show an increase of S9,- TSP, 400 in gross earnings, equivalent to an increase of nearly 16 per cent. The operating expenses, however, cut the net earnings down to sS3O, ,O0O which is but four per cent above figures of a year ago.

Prominent In AIabama Some Years Ago.
 Died In Texas.
 Selma, Ala, Sept. 2S, 1907. Editor The Advertiser:
 I remember some days ago, possibly longer, seeing in your paper a request for information about MT. Sanders, and artist prominent In Alabama in the fifties and sixties. neglected to an- swer promptly but will now. l Knew MT. Sanders real well, he died in Aus Another thing I would like to call attention to. Mr. Sanders in 1850, 1891 and 1862 was occupied in Tuscaloosa painting two very large paintings. I re- member he used the walls of the. chapel at the insane hospital to attach hts canvas to- One painting was The Flight of Zenobia," the other, Meet ing of Jeptha and His Daughter" These paintings were wonderful, with their many figures, life size, horses ana camels MT. Sanders expected to real ize much from the exhibition of them, but in this he was disappointed, as just after the war was no time to oo So. He was in Austin, Texas, and tried 10 exhibit them there but the difficulty enough. He left his paintings there, obtained permission to leave them stored either in the Caiptol or Uni versity, which was in process or con structlon at the time. l think 1t was cle, Prof. R. $. Gould, and he told me of their being there What I thought was, if there are no heirs. who want them and if still there. az they are the work of an Alabamian, could not Ala hama get these paintings? Is there not some place in our Capitol where they could be put. It seems to me these were wonderful works of art, remarkable conception, the many faces and great variety of posing and express sion.
 Very respectfully,

AN DISSOLVED MYSTERY.

Perhaps the most Esrplexing and romantic. as well as pathetic, mystery In American history was the disap- pearance of Theodosia Burr Alston, al- most a century ago, from all human sight and knowledge. Theodosia, as the reader knows, was the daughter ef Aaron Burr, and was apparently the one being he loved and cherished during her life. whatever opinion any one may have of Burr as a man and a citizen, his love for his handsome and gifted daughter was genuine and unceasing, and she stood by him and was his one source of comfort in tho years succeeding his duel with Hamtl- ton. Her marriage to Governor Joseph Alston, of South Carolina, interrupted tho close relationship between father and daughter but did not lessen their devotion to each other. When he was being tried for treason she spent most of the time in the court room, cheer ing and encouraging him in all ways that love and devotion could suggest.
 But it Is not the biography of the woman that we set out to speak of. but the tragic ending of her brief life. On the 3oth day of December, 1872. although in i'll health, she set sail from Charleston on a small schooner to visit her father in New York. With the sailing of that vessel from the wharf at Charleston ended all human knowledge of Theodosia Alston, as far as is known. She and her escort disappeared absolutely and apparently for all time, for no authen- tic account of the disappearance or the cause of 1t has ever been given.
 Various explanations have been given, of course, as was naturally to be expected in connection with such a strange event. By some it has all along been ccntended that the vessel went down in a storm. carrying all on board with 1t. and leaving behind no evidence of It's fate. Such things are not unknown and this may have been the case, but the belief that the vessel was captured by pirates. the crew and passengers put to death and the vessel destroyed has always been held by many. More than one romantic story has been written detailing the capture and murder of all on board some of them even telling how Mrs Aston went to her fate. Two or three pirates. or supposed pirates, gave pre- tended accounts of the affair but there was so little agreement or probability in their stories that they have beer generally discredited. In short, the fate of the brilliant young wife is as much an unsolvable mystery now as it has ever been. There is little prob- ability that any solution will ever be found.
