Report ON IL, r. and II. Hill.

Report on H., r. md r. bill.
The session of the House was not as
largely attended as heretofore. "A num-
ber OF bills that chiefly concerned local
and technical matters not OF general
interest were passed.
In the Senate the work for good
roads was the main topic of a discuss
sion which appeared to throw more
darkness than light upon the subject.
After several amendments had been
offered and a number OF speeches ha d
been made. several OF the Senator'S
confessed that In the classical language
OF Watson. OF Alabama. they did not
know where, they were "at." How
ever the matter was finally cleared
up. and the desired amendment
was adopted. making prisoners In
city jails for violation OF state
laws and for yaErancy and petit lar
cenys liable to work on the public
roads.
The past week has been busy one
in Legislative circles; the coming week
promises to be filed with equally stren-
uous activities along many lines. Tna

Richmond. fredericksburg and poto-
mac Railroad will be made to both

there should be a lively fight over

port OF the Senate committee will be
favorable also.

The investigation OF the charges
against Judge w. f. Rhea will begin

are now on the calendars OF both
houses. and from this time on one or
another OF them will be constantly

.O|L PRODUCERS
FAVOR HASKELL
Ex-JUDGE CHAPLIN, HOME FROM
OKLAHOMA, TELLS OF BIG
POLITICAL RUMPUS THERE.

ExJudge w. w. Chaplin, OF Detroit,
who has recently returned from Okla
homa, was in touch with the oil men OF
that section and is able to cast an IN
teresting side light on the feeling In
that state which prompted Gov. Has
kell to take action in behalf OF the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co.. for which Has
kell has been assailed by Hearst aid
the Republican press.
THE situation was that the pipe
line facilities were entirely Inadequate
to take care of the production of oil,
says ex-Judge Chaplin. The oil pro
ducers were extremely anxious to get
another line In SO that they could dis.
pose OF their product.
"Attorney-General West took action
TO prevent the Prairie OIL & Gas Co
from building its line without domes
ticating itself: that is, becoming prac.
tically an Oklahoma corporation. AT
that time Gov. Haskell was attending
the Denver convention. When he re,
turned. he went after West. who. al
though sustained by the state courts,
was defeated in the supreme court.
THE oil producers were very pleas.
ed at the result of Gov. Haskell's ac'
ton. Whether Haskell did as he did
to favor the oil company, I cannot say,
but he did help the oil producers and
the sentiment among them when l left
was In his favor"

LETTER TO ) WIFE
TOLD Of . DEATH
OF HUSBAND
BUT TWAS JUST A RusE TO
FOOL HER, AS SEQUEL SHOWS
DIVORCE DOCKET pWINoLEs
TO THREE CASES.

Fourteen divorce cases were on the
docket for Monday morning. but In
only three of the cases did the COM
| plainants respond when the roll was
called. These cases were heard by
Judge Murphy.
An interesting feature of the story
told by Nina George, who asked for
divorce from her husband. l.. Lewis
George. was a letter written from a
mining camp In Idaho. The writer
told of the death there OF a man who
gave his name as George, and his dy-
| ing request was that word be sent to
his wife. Nina. back In Michigan
Mrs. George then introduced aSOther
letter written by her husband severn.
weeks later TO the Jackson Corset
Co.. by which he was formerly EN-.
ployed. in which he offered to pay his
| shortage at the rate OF $40 per week.
In this letter George told OF the death
Of his wife.
II am heartbroken over her loss"
he wrote. "and all l can pay Is $40
per week"
Mrs. George was given a decree
forthwith.
For the first time in several weeks
the name of the Rev. ID. II. Hind. the
Sandwich parson. was heard In di.
vorce court. Mayme Hatcher testi-
| fed that she came from Ohio on an
excursion with Samuel Hatcher. Ar
irving here. they liked the town 80
well. that they decided to settle down.
They went to Windsor and were mar
ried by Mr.. Hind. In May. 1904, a
longing came over Samuel to return
to Ohio. and he went. his wife testi-
fed, but he didn't take her with him.
Mrs. Hatcher is now living In Qelray
SUI porting herself and child giving
music lessons and working for The
Michigan Telephone Co. Samuel has
been among the missing for four years.
She will probably get decree.
Nicholas Purcell, big husky lock-
ing fellow told how his wife, Lillian,
visited him at his work while he was
employed by the Polk Printing Co.,
and there administered a kick which
put him in the hospita. for 16 DAYS.
At another time Lillian carried Mich
olas' dinner 10 the office. She was an
hour late, and Nick says he asked her
kindly what caused tho delay. He.
says she responded that he ought TO
be glad to get II at ALL and then threw
the pail at his head, deluging him
with hot coffee and lemon pie. LII
liam frequented saloons and crank with
other men, her husband testified.
Judge Murphy promised him decree
in 80 days.

CHAPTER
IN GRAVEL SCRAP
BOTH SIDES GET NEW EVIDENCE
AND EACH Is SATISFIED
CASE Is STRONGER.

Another chapter In the long and
wearisome controversy over the quail
ity OF stone and gravel furnished the
park commission on contract this year
il ready for telling. Controller Dore-
mus, Secretary Hurlbut, Of the park
department and number Of engi-
neers went to Charleston. Mich,
whence the stone is shipped. Saturday
and officially weighed lot OF stone.
Each side came back reinforced with
new arguments.
THE contractor did not make
good" said Controller Doremus." He
did not get the required quantity OF
stone on the cars"
Chairman Grindley, OF the claims
and accounts committee, contends, on
the other hand, that the test shows
that the city got what 1t paid for and
that the railroad weights, over which
the controversy originally arose, are
shown to be incorrect.
The aldermen watched 3015 cubic
yards of gravel loaded into ear from
standard size boxes. Then the engi-
neers measured the cars and found
only % cubic yards. the stone having
packed down. The railroad weights

pounds and the rain Is expected to
make a still greater variation In the
weights.
The stone did not weigh $500
pounds to the cubic yard. as stated In
the contract, but about $500 pounds.
AS the city paid by cubic yards, II is
doubtful II this made any real differ.
ence.
There will be one or more weary
sessions at which the whole contro-
versy will be gone over again and
then the voters will be told all about
II on the stump. Inasmuch as both
sides can make a conclusive statement
that shows that the city got cheated,
or got all II paid for, according to the
side being presented. the public will
have good chance to decide as to the
merits of the case.
A total of $103.01 is involved.

Sick headache is a frequent

A very delicate stomach
