The Democrats of this senatorial dis
trict met in convention at Lansing on
Monday, thirteen strong-fve from
this county and eight from Ingham-to
name a candidate to be defeated in No
vember by Senator Tuttle Mayor
Burke of this city, called the conven-
tion to order AL after the usual for
malities had been gone through with,
A. R. Hardy of Lansing was nominal
ed by acclamation although it was
known he would not accept. After he
had declined a committee was named to
wait on Frederick Thoman and ask him
to run. He too, was wise and said no.
John w. Whallon of Bunkerhill, a
former clerk of Ingham county in the
days when the greenback party was in
the saddle, was nominated, despite the
fact that he had recently declined to be
a candidate for county clerk on the
ground of poor health. However, he
was not present and could not be found
so that he is to date the candidate. w.
D. Burke was made the Shiawassee

Pay Back Taxes.

County Treasurer Shipman informs
us that there are 5,O4O.24 of 1906 back
taxes that will be put on the list
to advertise October 1st unless paid be-
fore that date. Many small descriptions
appear, upon which the tax in many
instances, does not amount to more
than SOC. When these taxes are put on
the advertised list there is $1.0O added
for each description for advertising, no
matter how small the tax may be.
Those having back taxes should attend
to them at once, as it will result in
considerable saving.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Judge Miner Deals Out Punis shment.

Judge Miner Deals Out Punishment.
Judge Miner gave some we'll deserved
sentences Monday in the circuit court.
Bessie Wheeler will spend the next 80
days at the Detroit house of correction
for indecent conduct in A. Soper's saloon
at Corunna. Alden Soper must stay in
the county jail ninety days for selling
liquor to a minor. William Wall re-
ceived sentence of from one to four
years in the reformatory for commit
ting rape, the recommendation being
for two years. Dennis o. Cramer was
given but six months in the county Jail
for horse stealing, the prosecuting
attorney recommending lienency. No
alternate of fines was allowed in any
case.
John Lumley was acquitted by a jury
in the circuit court, Saturday on a
charge of stealing butter from the
Grand Trunk freight house last spring,
the jury evidently believing the fellow
was being used by the two guilty men
as shield for their wrong doings.
Lumley appeared as very ignorant
person and any jury would have seen
little use of sending him to Jail.
Archie Jebb was acquitted on
charge of highway robbery, Monday,
Joe Felkner having already plead guilty
to robbing E. E. Gillis in Owosso three
months ago, Mr.. Gillis being rather un-
certain as to Jebb's part in the affair.
Jebb was defended DO Seth @. Pulver in
a very creditable manner.
Joe Felkner was sentenced to serve
six months to year in the Detroit
house of correction for his part in the
robbery of E. E. Gillis.
Deputy Sheriff Brown took Joe Felix
ner and Bessie Wheeler to Detroit Tues
day, and Under Sheriff Herrick took
VIM. Wall to Ionia. Alden Soper and
Dennis O. Cramer commenced their
terms in the county Jail Monday.
The damage suit of G. E. Rigley, Jr.,
against the Press-American was given
to the jury Wednesday in the circuit
court and q verdict of no cause for
action resulted. The suit was the re.
suit of an article regarding the action
of the council of the city of Owosso in
the matter of purchasing a road roller.
Mrs. Alden Soper will ask for a par
don for her husband who is serving 80
days in the county Jail for selling liq-
uor to q minor on the ground that he
has quit the saloon business, is con,
Quoting barber shop and has made
every effort to be law abiding citizen
since his trouble in Corunna.

CANNOT CARRY GOODS.
That arc MaiIable- Post Master Has
Right to Open Packages.


The rural carriers have received some
new strict orders in regard to carrying
packages and bundles for patrons out
side of the regular mail. The old rule
that they are allowed to carry only
matter which is not mailable still holds
good but under the new rule, the post
master has the right to open any pack
age and determine whether or not it is
mailable.
The new order was brought about by
abuse of the privilege in various parts
of the country. One instance is the
trick of enclosing something extra in
the package to make it exceed the four
pound limit which would render it un-
mailable or by putting in a bottle of
water which would have the same
effect, as it is against the rule to send
liquids by mail. Now If you want the
carrier to take some thing for you out
side of the mail, that article must
weigh over four pounds. without un.
necessary additions) or it must be a
liquid, or some other unavailable arti-
Gle
The circular sent to the carriers says:
''Postmasters are enjoined to thorough
ly familiarize themselves with this rul-
ing and require carriers to do and see
that its provisions are strictly observed.
No matter entitled to transmission
through the mails excepting liquids in
ordinary wrappings) shall be carried by
carriers outside of the mails for hire
and postmasters are authorized to ex-
anime packages for purposes of ascer-
tanning whether contents are mailable,
and if it is found that extraneous mat
ter of obvious value or that matter not
ordered by patron has been added to
a package to render it unmailable, car
riers will be prohibited from carrying
any such matter for hire"
Patrons of the rural routes should
not ask carriers to break the regula-
tions.

Age Limit Extended.

The age limit on the Grand Trunk,
after which employees are summarily
retired on pension, has been extended
from 65 to SO years, with the proviso
that men who have already been re-
tired can again enter the service pro-
vided they are physically capable of
discharging their duties. 1t is surmised
that the pension list. was growing too
rapidly and many efficient employees
were lost to the service, was the cause
of the modification.

County Road System.

Mention was made some time ago
that P. B. Reynolds was circulating a
petition in. the several townships of
the county asking the board of Super
visors at their October session to take
action looking to the submission to the
electors of the county of the question of
adopting the county road system. We
understand the required number of
names has been secured and the ques-
tion will come before the board at the
October session for action. The board
will do doubt give it immediate and
favorable consideration 80 that a vote
can be taken at an early date. In case
the proposition would receive the ma.
jority vote the board of supervisors
would later on have to decide on the
following questions:
How many county road commission
ers (not to exceed three.)
What shall be their compensation.
To appoint commissioners.
The commissioners must meet on or
before October 1st each year and de-
eide which roads should be built and
how much tax should be levied for
county roads not to exceed two dollars
on each thousand dollars of assessed
valuation and hand their determination
to the board of supervisors.
The board of supervisors has the veto
power, 80 the road board haye to make
such recommendations as will suit the
supervisors or fail to get the tax spread.
The tax is collected in December.
Then the county road commissioners
can lay out their work and begin early
next spring to build state reward road.
No work can be done In counties not
now under the system until 1910.

September and October.

May Aiken In October st. Nicholas.
September apples shine yellow and red
Under the old orchard trees;
over their branches high circles the crow,
Through them fit gay chickadees;
Chipmunk is harvesting grain for his home
Laying his winter stores in.
He scurries along, fat cheeks full of corn
He'll beat US unless we begin!
October brings the north wind keen,
And sparkling frost and Halloween,
And when went to bed one night
And shut my tired eyes up tight
There came a brilliant gleam OF light,
1 walked up in q sudden fright,
And saw the very awfullest sight
/ screamed alond with all my might!

September 80 is Memory Day"
Set apart by act of the Legislature at
the last session, the second annual
observance of the day will be held
Wednesday, September 80. This day
was formed for the purpose of putt
ing cemeteries, especially those in ru-
raj communities in good repair for
the winter, making the day of as
much Importance as Memorial Day.

quest of the State Association of
Farmers Clubs and the State Grange
1t is the hope of the members of these
associations that Memory Day" will
become as much a sacred holiday as

ut needs but a little effort on the
part of the few to make this one of
the noble evens Of he fall of the
year." said ]. 7. Daniels, of st.
Johns, one of the organizers of the
movement. "If our cemeteries are
worthy of the name of Gods Acre.
let man reflect this idea of good by
planting and caring for this spot. The
best Interpretation man can make of
his belief in Immortality is that of
natures gift of flowers and death
and resurrection. Here is a proof of
mans loyalty to the Christian faith"
Great interest has been shown in
this movement. Cemeteries, often
cared for in the spring and neglected
in the fall, have been decidedly i'm
proved by a days care and the me-
elected country cemeteries in partic-
ular showed a large measure of inn
provement last year.
Societies for the continuance of
this new work are being formed all
over the state.

Collie Is usually the result Of indi-
gestion, caused by sudden changes OF
feed, too long fasting, food given
when the horse is exhausted, new hay

attack of collie is liable to come on
without warning at any time, and
Sloan's Sure Collie Cure is the safest
and best remedy to use It acts in
