In September's Golden Harvest Sale we thought
that we had pretty nearly reached the limit of big value
giving, but tonorrow's offerings are, if anything, more
interesting than last months. This is a pretty broad
statement, but We feel that we can substantiate it fully.
Golden Harvest Day is now a feature of our business

Were Fatally Burned.

Mrs. H. T. Abbey. of Saginaw, is in
critical condition from terrible
burns she received by the explosion
of the gasoline tank of the kitchen
stove while her husband and son, j..
Ray Abbey. are seriously burned, the
latter probably fatally. The gasoline
tank let go without warning, shower
ing the three with burning fluid.
Young Abbey was badly burned
about the face, neck and hands, while
his mother. who is so years old, re-
ceived more serious burns about her
chest and face. The recovery of both
is doubtful.
The father, who was also badly
burned, saved the lives of the others
by putting out the fire in their cloth
ing, and then turning in an alarm.
The department saved the house from
destruction, with damage of about
$500.

NOW THE SENATE
WILL DO THINGS
THE TARIFF BILL HAS PASSED
THE HOUSE AND GOES
TO SENATE.
FoRDNEY's LAST HOPE
Some Of the Special Features Of the
Bill That Will Be of Interest to the
People.

The house OF representatives has
passed the Payne tariff bill, 217 TO
161. Rep. Austin (Tex) was the only
Republican to vote against it and four
Democrats = all from Louisiana -
Broussard, Estopinal, Pujo and Wick
life, voted for It, Democrat Leader
Champ Clark tried to obtain a recon-
initial, with instructions, but failed.
The Republicans cheered Justify and
danced up and down in the aisles.
The bill now goes to the senate.
Rep. Fordney (Mich) won a hard
fought battle when he succeeded in
keeping rough lumber off the free
list with 81 duty. The vote on this
schedule was 200 to 181 and the only
Michigan member to vote against 1T
was Rep. Hamilton.
Fordney started his fight March 10
with only six supporters. The gen.
eral reason for members supporting
him was that $2,000,0O0 revenue would
be lost and the Canadian lumbermen
be the only gamers. A fight will be
made in the senate to raise the duty
to $3.50 or So.
Hides remain on the free list and
the increased duty on gloves and
stockings remains.
The members seemed to consider
the putting of oil on the free list
a slap at the Standard Oil Co. and
only 46 opposed it. Speaker Cannon
was one and Rep. Young (Mich.) an
other.
Tea is left on the free list, and the
countervailing duty taken off coffee.
To the free list were added ever
green seedlings, clover and nut oil,
which is used in making varnish. The
so-called Joker" in the cotton cloth
schedule which it was claimed won d
increase the duty of the Dingley bill
several hundred per cent was cor
rected, the proviso for the method of
counting threads in the cloth being
made the same as in the present law.
The internal revenue law was also
amended so that raisers of tobacco
will not have to pay manufacturers
license in order to dispose of their
leaf tobacco. There were severa!
technical changes in the steel sched-
ule, principally downward. and lace
curtain and netting machines were in
cluded in the proviso which permits
the entry free of duty of lace ma
chinery prior to May l, 1910.

AWAITING An Heir.

The birth of an heir TO the throne
of Holland is confidently expected
this week, and If all goes well the out
burst of popular enthusiasm will be
such as has seldom been witnessed
among the placid Dutch. There has
been no royal birth in the Neither
lands since that of Queen Wilhelmina
herself, q years ago. Thrice before.
since the marriage of Little Will
helmina," as the Hollanders affec-
tionately call the queen. have the
hopes of the country been raised
only to be dashed.
The constant fear of the Dutch has
been that the house of Orange would
die out with a childless sovereign,
and that Holland would pass under
the rule of German prince, and
would thereby possibly become a Ger
man vassal state. This partly ac-
counts for the extraordinary eagerness
with which the event is awaited in
every town and village in the Neither
lands.
