Congressman Fordney was over in
Tuscola last week and was enthus-
iastically welcomed. 1t is predicted
by shrewd politicians that in Sagi-
nav Fitzgerald will not have to eX-
coed six votes in a ward or township
on an average, and as the county
polls 5000 or 5000 Republican
votes it will be observed that in any
event Mr.. Fordney will have a big
majority in the primaries. And he
is sure to carry Shiawassee and Tus-
cola ounties.-National Farmer.

Although the candidacy Of Senator
futile for reelection probably will not
satisfy some Democratic papers and
partisans, it seems to be eminently
satisfactory to the Republicans of his
district. Senator Tuttles is the only
name which will appear in the G. o.

senatorship. - Lansing Republican.

The Detroit News designates the
ST. Johns News Ia so-called "indepen-
dent" newspaper published at st. Johns)
as lone of Fordney's constituents. The
st. Johns paper is Mr. Fitzgerald's
home organ, but is also whooping it up
for Hemans, probable Democratic nomi-
nee for governor. 1t is the paper that
started Mr.. Fitzgerald's campaign with
a viciously libellous attack upon Mr..
Fordney, and had to bolt dish of crow
so suddenly in humiliating retraction
that it has been making a very faint
gurgling noise in this campaign ever
since. Saginaw Courier. Herald.

Has any reader of the Corunna Jour
nal noticed correction of an editorial
which recently appeared in that paper
referring to an article taken from the
Detroit Journal relating to the situation
in this congressional district, the Jour
nal giving its readers to understand
that Truman H. Newberry, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy aud an intimate
friend of President Roosevelt and VIM.
H. Taft, endorsed the article referred
to, the purpose of course being to dis
credit Cong. Fordney with the friends
of these gentlemen. The statement
was made by the Journal that Mr. New
berry was one of the heaviest stock
holders in the Detroit paper. Mr.. New
berry's attention was evidently called
to the editorial for under date of Aug.
9Th, he writes that he had that
day written the publishers of the
Corunna Journal Informing them
that have never been, in any way,
interested in the Detroit Journal"
He also added that he had never seen
the article in the Detroit Journal and
it can safely be said he does not APP
prove word it contained as Mr.. New
berry is one of Cong. Fordneys warm.

Commenting on recent utterance of
Cong. Fordney endorsing Judge Taft's
letter of acceptance, the Laingsburg
News says: Those who have known
the facts have always known there was
no real difference between Congressman
Fordney and the administration. No
difference that would impair the stand
ing or the usefulness of the congress-
man. He has apparently differed with
the administration sometimes, but only
when the interests of the d strict seem
to demand it. President Roosevelt and
Judge Taft know enough to respect
man and Congressman Fordney knows
enough to respect and admire such men
as they, even though he has differed
with them slightly at times"

The Baltimore Sun, the leading Dem
ocratic paper in Maryland and one of
the strongest papers published in the
south, has announced its support for
Mr.. Taft, stating that it could not
stand for the utterances of Mr.. Bryan
In his speech of acceptance. Its deser-
ton of the party has caused consterna-
ton in the Democratic ranks in the
states adjacent to Maryland where it
has wide circulation. 1t is predicted
that other strong party papers in the
border states will soon make the same
announcement, leaving Mr.. Bryan, as
in New York city, without newspaper
support in the leading papers.

Many incidents have been related in
the past of animals that have died of
a broken heart because Of the loss of
their offspring or mate, and also be-
cause of the loss of their human mas
ter, but the latest instance of that kind
to be reported is the case of cow
moose who ended her days last week
near the outlet of MoXie pond, in east
ern Somerset county.
The story was brough: 70 Augusta
Monday by Game Warden +. j. Dur
gin Of the Forks of the kcnnebec.
Warden Durgin came to Augusta to
meet Commissioner Carleton on mat
ters of business connected with his
work, and while at the Office of the
commissions at the state House related
the incident. The moose was Il big
cow. and while in the stream below the
ponG was caught by a jam of logs
which was brought down from above
by q big head of water, and was car
ried further down stream to 4 second
jam. The stream at that point is very
rough water, ard the animal was car
ried under the second jam, and al
though bruised and manned succeeded
in reaching shore.
That was on Wednesday. and on the
following morning people in that vi
entity saw the moose again on the
shore of the stream. one leg was bro
ken and she could hardly drag herself
along, but she made her way to the
first jam of logs and crawling out on
them lay down and died. Later her
body was recovered and it was found
that in addition to the broken leg Sev-
eral ribs had been crushed in by the
logs which caught her. and she had re
ceived other injuries which rendered it
somew hat of a wonder that she had
been able to rel,n the shore at all
Why she should return to the place
where she was first caught by the jam
can hardly be said unless it was be-
cause she had lost her calf and was
looking for it. Woodsmen who know
the habits of the moose say that the
mother-love of the COW moose for her
young is very strong, and that the COW
in question had probably lost her can
somewhere in that vicinity. she was
without doubt lonl>iLg for it when over
taken by the jam of logs, and although
almost done to death bv the lp'inhnhs
which she hal receive. by the logs
and the rocks in the stream, ana AT
the same time nearly drowned, she had
made her way to the shore and back
to the point at which her search Tor
her offspring had been interrupted
and was still searching when death
overlook her.
Warden Durgin made careIhi
search of the locality to see if he could
find trace of a calf for which the
COW had evidently been hunting, bu'
was unable to find it, and thinks that
if the calf was drowned the body may
have been carried out of the &trean

Board Of Health Holds
Quarterly Meeting,
Smallpox Outbreak In New
Brunswick About Over.
Tragic End Of a Cow Moose Re.
ported In Moxie Region.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Thursday, July 80, at 10 A. M.

The second quarterly meeting of the
State Board of Health was held at the
State House Monday. AS some diSqui-
citing rumors had recently come to the
Office in regard to smallpox in Victoria
county and the upper part of Carleton
county, New Brunswick, and the dan
ger to AroostoOk county from those
sources, the State Board has just had
a special investigation made by one of
its own agents into the conditions in
all those places between Bath and
Grand Falls in which there have been
cases of smallpox. The result is that
there are in Carleton county only two
case of that disease and those at two
different houses in the sO-called Ca
naan settlement back of BeechWood
station. These are under quarantine
but the houses will be disinfected next
week The evidence collected in that
county was To the effect that the man.
agement of the health offers has been
efficient and that the distinction has
been thorough. In Victoria county sew
eral places We're investigated, includ-
ing Grand Falls, the Danish settle
ment, salmon River the Gillespie set
tlement and the California settlement
There had been cases of smallpox in
the spring, but officially there are no
cases at the present time and appar-
emily none are known to the health
officers. The general management Of
outbreaks there appears to have been
less efficient and the general testimony
is that the management has been
slack. The methods of distinction are
faulty, lat as; the conditions generally
were found to be much more favorable
than was anticipated, the State Board
OF Health does not deem it necessary
to take any action at the present time
in the way of placing inspection sta
tons or in taking other action.
The secretary showed to the board
his plans for the exhibit of the State
Beard of Health at the international
Congress on Tuberculosis in Washing

WONDERFUL AMERICAN HEN.

The cackles of the American hens
are swelling into a mighty chorus.
Sixteen billion times a year these
small citizens announce the arrival of
a 'fresh laid" and the sound of their
Dragging is waxing loud in the land.
According to the last census, there
are 233, 59S,005 chickens of laying age
in the United States. These are val
ued at $70,000,000, and the eggs they
lay, would, if divided, allow two hun
dred and three eggs annually to every
person,-man, woman and child-in
the United States. The value of all
the fowls, $S5,80O,OOO, would entitle
every person in the country to SLIP,
if they were sold and the proceeds
divided. All the weight of the ami
NAL products exported, the pork, beef,
tallow, ham, bacon and sausage, weigh
S46,S60 tons, while the weight of the
eggs laid yearly tips the scales at
970,363 tons.-Technica World.
