After the Loan Sharks.

The loan sharks and installment
houses have been under fire during
the past week. Representative Ogg
introduced a bill which provided that
when an installment house replevins
or takes back goods which they have
sold on installment, they will have to
repay rs per cent of the amount they
have already collected on the pur-
chase price. 1t is stated that the in
stallment houses will make a vigor-
Gus protest against this bill, and a
hot fight is anticipated. The chattel
mortgage and salary loan members
appeared to be satisfied with a bill
allowing them to collect certain fees
and per cent per month on loans
on furniture, salaries, etc. Members
Of the Detroit delegation endeavored
to have this rate reduced to / per cent
per month and then ~ per cent, but
the house had been lined up in such
way that the bill was passed in
spite Of them. 1t was then discovered
that the bill contained joker, which
exempted the salary loan men from
its provisions, and the bill has been
recalled

The bill making II a misdemeanor
to tell fortunes or predict the future
for money, which passed the house
last week, is being very vigorously
fought In the senate. A hearing was
held on Thursday evening, at which
a large number OF Spiritualists were
present on account OF the bill affecting
their right to hold meetings and
charge for seances. In the midst OF
the hearing. what at first appeared to
be small white flags, were seen fut'
tering near the lofty ceilings above
the galleries of the senate chamber
and some thought a manifestation OF
spirits was being made for the benefit
OF the occasion. Ii transpired, how
ever, that some OF the pages had
strung handkerchie on a cord and
rubber, and succeeded in making q
very clever deception.

School superintendence.

The salary of superintendent of pub
instruction was on Thursday fin.
ally fixed at $4,000, but the rural In
spector was cut of, and the county
superintendent will have things their
own way. The salary of the deputy,
which had been fixed at $4,000 by the
bill, was reduced to $4,000, which Is
the present salary. Mr.. Keeler, the
deputy, is very competent man and
left place at Mt Pleasant Normal
school, where he was getting $2,100
a year, to take his present position.
II is claimed that he will resign and
give his attention 10 something more
profitable. The economy practiced In
pruning this bill was the work OF the
Farmers club.

Eiuht Hours Work.

Senator Anhut has introduced bin

The bill Is designed to prevent the
overworking of conductors and motor

to become careless or neglectful in
their duties. This bill, together with
the one introduced by Representative
Austin, TO abolish running boards or
side entrances to street cars. are re-
garded as the most important of this
kind Of legislation proposed up to this

the protection OF life.

State Fair association at Detroit Is
