REPUBLICANS PLAN CAMPAIGN
County Committee and Delegates will
Begin Work at Once and Push
Campaign until Election
Day.

The Republican County Committee
and the candidates met at the super
visors room at the court house Friday
afternoon to lay plans for the campaign.
Chairman Bigelow presided and after
some Introductory remarks called on all
present for an expression of opinion as
to the plan of campaigning to be follow
ed, the general opinion being that meet
ings should be held at as many points
as possible to be addressed by outside
speakers and the local candidates on
somewhat similar lines as in the past
two or three campaigns. The opinion
was general that the party had never
had a stronger ticket in the field and
that it had met and would meet with
general approval in all parts of the
county, ensuring the election of every
nominee by good majority. Referring
to the national ticket one of the gentle
men present said all that was necessary
was to keep Mr.. Bryan asking Question
of President Roosevelt, that the ans
wers and the people would do the rest,
Senator yTuttle was present and gave a
brief talk, promising to devote consid-
cradle time this year to Shiawassee.

New Elks' Emblem.

The Order of Elks, at its recent Grand
Lodge meeting at Dallas, Tex, adopted
new emblem to be worn as button
or in other ways that commend them
selves to secret society men. The em.
blem consists of star with suitable in
sigma and is to take the place of the
elks head now worn when it shall be
placed on the market, which will be
done under the auspices of the order.
Meantime Elks are advised not to buy
the numerous counterfeit emblems now
offered for sale, as they will prove a
source of annoyance. The grand exalt-
ed ruler says that due notice will be
given when the real emblem is ready
for distribution.

The Lainesburg Drain.

Drain Commissioner Boutwell, was in
the village last week arranging his
assessment rolls for the Laingsburg
drain. Probate Court proceedings have
been completed and the right of way
for the drain assured. Mr.. Boutwell,
says he expects to let the contract fol
digging the drain within few weeks,
but whether the work can be com
pleted this fall is somewhat uncertain
This drain should be big benefit to
Laingsburg, but its benefits would in
crease If we could have the Looking
Glass River dredged. This latter work
is sure to be done some time, as it will
result in reclaiming thousands of acres
of the most valuable land in the state

Perry Marshal Wants Pay.

Chauncey Dorm has commenced pro-
ceedings in the circuit court to collect
his pay for acting as marshal of the
village of Perry, claiming $164. 40 is due
and that the trustees fail to attend the

versy.

Beneficial to Galveston.

Austin June 26.-The court of civil appeals affirmed the case of the rail road commission vs. chamber of com merce of Galveston, thereby having the effect of abolishing the Houston Galceston differential on various com modities. This decision is in favor of Galveston. the court holding that each locality is entitled to its natural advantages, and the differential rates are not excused by such natural ad. vantages possessed by Galveston over Houston.
 The court says further that any change in the rate complained of will not disturb the system of freight rates throughout the state, as the commis sion has the power to change any rate 1t has made, and If any rate gives an unjust and unreasonable advantage to one locality over another 1t is the duty of the commission to rectify 1t.

Memphis, June 26.-Mrs Marie Reed, wife of Dr. F. w. Reed of Big Creek, Ark, and her sister, Miss Nell lie Ellsworth were brought to a hos pital here seriously wounded, while their assailant, T. F. Whitsett, a rail- road employe of Big Creek, is dec4, the result of self-inflcted wounds.
 Other than that Whitsett had been drinking heavily, and apparently for the time was bereft of reason, the at- tack on Mrs. Reed and her sister was without cause, so far as can be learn ed According to the statement of the injured women, the man entered their home early Wednesday and be- gan shooting, one of the bullets strik- ing Mrs. Reed and another her sister. Whitsett then endeavored to end his own life by cutting his throat, but the weapon used, small knife, didn't ac- complish the desired object, leaving only a jagged wound. Securing a small rifle, he thrust the barrel into his mouth and with his toe pulled the trigger, the bullet entering his brain and causing almost instant death While Mrs. Reed and her sister are both seriously injured, the physicians do not consider their wounds necessa- rily fatal

Like every commanding figure, he had zeal ous supporters and earnest opponents, but those who differed from him were as ready as his warmest friends to concede to him the possession of ele- ments of leadership to an extraordina- ry degree.
 ''He was deliberate in action, firm in conviction and ever ready to accept responsibility for what he did. Few men have exerted a more positive in. fluence on those associated with him. We are not far enough from the period in which his work was done to meas. ure accurately his place In history. but the qualities which made him great are a part of the nations herit- age, and universal sorrow Is felt at his death. .l ,m@-in -

ANOTHER CALL.
Treasurer Sparks Asks State
 Banks to Remit.

Austin, June 26.-Another call has been issued on the state Repositories by Treasurer Sparks. The call will collect from the various banks s60,000, and will require each bank to turn over to the state treasury all state funds held in excess of $44,000. The state treasury has become low in funds recently, owing to several heavy war rant payments made during the past month, and the present call is to re- plenish the money in the office, and at the same time to put the state de- positories on an equal footing, leav- ing each with $44,000.
