c. A. ROXBOROUGH,
TAKEN BY DEATH
cOLORED ATTORNEY WAS WELL.
KNOWN AND HAD FINE REP
UTATiON AT THE BAR.

Charles A. Roxborough. one OF the
ablest and best-known colored attor-
neys In the city. died Tuesday morn
ing, In his home, at No. $50 Chene-st..
OF pneumonia. He had been In poor
health for about year but kept up
his practice until short time ago,
when he was striker down with the
malady that proved fatal.
Mr.. ROxborough was q man past
middle life. He was born In the south
and in the face Of many disadvan.
tages he acquired college education,
graduat ting with honors. At one time
he was an assistant United States at
torney in Tennessee. He came to
Detroit 10 years ago and succeeded In
building up splendid practice, par
ticularly among the Polish citizens OF
his neighborhood. where he was high
ly respected. Through his contact
with the Poles he had familiarized
himself with their language and this
knowledge proved valuable asset
in his profession.
Mr.. Roxborough enjoyed the respect
OF all the judges before whom he had
appeared and though he practiced
principally In the police court. his
methods there were thoroughly hon
est and above suspicion. Mr. Roxbor-
ough was in the county clerks office
under Louis w. Hines for time. but
resigned because OF the demands OF
his practice. He Is survived by his
wife and several chilrden.

No MONEY FOR
ALLEY WALKS

Mayor Thompson has vetoed the
appropriation made by the common
council of $1,000 for building and re-
pair of alley cross walks.
His action Is based on Section 4,
Chapter 8. of the city charter which
provides that, In cases where the
board OF estimates has specifically dis
allowed an item. II shall be unlawful
for the common council to pass that
item again.
I'VE must uphold the law" said
Mayor Thompson. Tuesday noon. The
law Is very clear in this instance. II
the board Of estimates had allowed a
thousand dollars for this purpose, the
common council by two-third vote
could have increased the appropria-
ton. But as 1t is, the fund Is wiped
out and cannot be renewed"
A serious loss to the city may result
through this blunder OF the estima-
tors. The city is responsible for the
crossings at alley entrances and any
citizen suffering injuries through falls
or other accident resulting from their
poor condition would have cause for
action against the city. The fund OF
$4,000 was insufficient last year TO
build. all the alley crossings demanded
by citizens and many are said TO be In
poor condition now and liable To cause
lawsuits through personal injuries

BY Simple Change in Food

Ii has been said by 4 physician that

many suppose can be removed by ap'
plying some remedy On the outside.
BY changing her food a Kan. girl
was relieved OF an eczema which was
b great annoyance TO her. She writes:
For Ave months was suffering
with an eruption on my face and hands
which our doctor called eczema and
which caused me great deal Of In
convenience. The suffering was al
most unbearable.
THE medicine | took only gave me
temporary relief. One day ! happen
ed to read somewhere that eczema
was caused by indigestion. Then
read that many persons had been re-
lieved OF indigestion by eating Grape
Nuts.
Il decided to try IT, liked the
taste OF the food and was particularly
pleased TO notice that my digestion
was improving and that the eruption
was disappearing as y by magic.
Rad at last found in this great food,
something that reached my trouble.
When I find a victim OF his az.

suffering and advise a trial OF Grape

Number Of Saloons Decreases.

Either prohibition sentiment or
hard times has evidently done its
work in eastern Michigan. The hgures
for the July collections in the office
OF the collector OF Internal revenue
show that only 4.2o0 retail liquor
dealers took out licenses in 1908 This
is 2s5 less than in 1907 Three coun
ties In this district have gone-"aFy
during the year but this would no.
account for more than a small per
csutsge Of the decrease in saloons.

W. G. G~reathonSe.

When the democratic county V
ton named w. G.. Greathouse for
county recorder, it did splendid work.
Mr.. Greathouse has served the people
of the county in the legislature and his
record is straight. In 1901, he was NOM
mated for county assessor and made a
splendid run, but was defeated.
His party record is such that it should
commend itself to all democrats and
his record us an official and as u citizen
should win him the support Of indie
pendent voters. Hisqualitications o fill
the Office Of recorder are beyond ques-
ton. and, if elected, the people of Elko
county will have no cause to complain
of his official conduct.
Mr.. Greathouse is Il resident of Ruby
valley. where he is engaged in ranch
ing. He belongs to that sturdy class
that till the soil and make the country
great.
In voting for him for county recorder
the voters of ElkO county will make no
mistake. If elected, MS he doubtless
will be, Elko county will have a courte-
Gus, fearless capable official.

Petition Is Legal.

throughout the state and originating in
Reno tn the effect that the independence
league would not get it's candidates on
the state ticket owing to the fact that
the necessary affidavit verifying the list

properly filed. Investigation at the Of
flee of the secretary of state yesterday
revealed that the proper and necessary
affidavit accompanied the petitions and
that all requirements had been met.
