had been repulsed, at the home Of Mrs.
Heslip last Monday evening. On Tues
day at noon, Thomas Heslip, husband Of
the murdered woman, ended his life
by drinking cyanide of potassium. His
suicide was due to dependency and
grief over the tragic death Of his wife.

ing lynched, Under Sheriff Mike Canal
Ian and a force of deputies spirited
Casey and John Sheridan, who was in
the county Jail awaiting trial for kill
ing his wife with a butcher knife sew
eral months ago, to Tonopah by auto
mobile.

this will be the greatest meeting Of
the Mining Congress ever held.
If there was anything lacking to
fally demonstrate the widespread pub
lie interest that is being taken in the
forthcoming session of the American
Mining congress in Goldfeld, that want
has been dispelled by the receipt of a
letter from Phoebe Couzins, of Wash
ington, d. C., m s~uffragist, politi-
elan, lecturer and advance guard of adj
vance thought, who expresses a desire
to be placed on the program for a place
in the discussion of the silver question
The letter from Miss Couzins was re.
eeived yesterday by Secretary James F.
Callbreath, Jr. As it was evident that
Miss Couzins wished to discuss the "1d
to II issue and not the more extended
use of the white metal money in com.
mercial relations with other nations
Miss Couzins has been advised that
places on the program are already
filed and there is no chance for the
discussion of political" issues that
have almost been forgotten.

cred as more ornamental than useful by
the management. This carried gold
with it to the extent Of $50 per ton.
The sulphur is pure and will burn
when exposed to a strong heat. Other
samples making up the display are OF
the new sulphide ore bearing gold, sill
yer, copper and iron. This rock tells
a story no pen can frame. 1t will give
the Keane Wonder proper recognition
among the really great properties OF
the country.--Rullfroe Miner.

Train Robbers Got SIS. 600.

That the hold-up of the Denver &
Rio Grande passenger train No neal
Denver early Saturday morning was
the work of three instead OF two rob
bers, and that the robbery of the mai
car gave them loot of possibly $35,
600, is indicated by the investigation
of the police and railroad officials
Eighteen packages of registered mai
were secured. One of these packages
is said to have contained a large sun
of money, but until a thorough check
ing up of the missing package is pos
sible the exact amount secured
by the robbers cannot be ascertained
The robbery was remarkable fol-
Its originality and daring. II took
place within eight miles of Denver
within less than two miles OF Fort
Logan, the United States military res
ervation, and at the spot where habi
tations are plentiful. Yet so thor
ough was the work of the robber,
and so well were their plans lait
that they had fully an hour and 2
half start of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the hold
up indicates that a third man an(
possibly fourth were engaged in the
robbery, that a buggy was in wait
ing. and that torpedoes and red sig
nal fires were used unsuccessfully liz
an attempt to stop the train before
the automatic revolvers of two mer
on the engine tender succeeded in do
ing this.

Needs More Money.

Sec. Wilson has communicated to
congress the fact that unless another
appropriation of $250,000 is made to
cover the expenses OF stamping out
foot and mouth disease the work OF
the bureau of animal industry, which
has charge of the meat inspection
branch of the government, will be Sc
riously hampered.
Early In the present session the
secretary asked 100000 for this work.
but only $4,000 was appropriated.
He says $1S3,776 already has been
expended and there are further IL
abilities estimated at $63,285. making
a total of $247,061 up to this date.
All OF this money was taken from
the appropriation for general ex'
penses OF the bureau.
The inspectors on the lookout for
evidences OF the foot and mouth dis
ease will not be withdrawn for three
months yet.

The Peaceful Japs.

Japan will not allow a purely local
question, such as the status of Japan
csc residents in California, to disturb
the feeling Of amity toward the Uni
ted States which has been growing
ever since Perry's expedition half 3
century ago" Baron Koga Takahira
Japanese ambassador to the United
States. thus put into a nutshell the
Japanese attitude toward the recent
race troubles on the Pacific coast.
Japan will consent to any action the
federal government may care to take
regarding the situation in California, -
continued the baron. "She has never
in any way, through me or any other
official representative, protested to
the United States government. II
must not be forgotten that when dis
pleasure was shown in this country
at the number of Japanese immi.
grants, We at once consented to re.
strict immigration to the minimum
figure.
"The Japanese are educated TO be
patriotic. They are loyal to their
country, but they are not forgetful OF
the rights OF other nations"

A Woman Governor.

When Gov. George e. Chamberlin
goes to Washington to be sworn in as
United States senator. the acting gov
ernor of Oregon will be a woman.
1t Is understood that Gov. Chamber
lin does not intend to relinquish the
Office OF governor until he takes the
oath as senator. There will conse-
quently be a period during which he
still will be governor after he leaves
the state. During the governors
absence from the state it has been
the practice of the governors secre-
tary to attend to the official business.
w. II. Gatens, the present secretary,
1t is understood, is slated for a Judge
ship and will be succeeded as secre-
tary by Mrs. C.. b. Shelton, who for
several years has been the governors
stenographer, and as the precedent
will be followed Mrs. Shelton will be
the acting governor.

MAY RECEIVE A
VALUABLE LESSON
STUDENTS PLAY A DANGEROUS
GAME WHICH WILL LEAD
TO TROUBLE.
DOES NOT LOOK FUNNY
Creased Rails on Electric Road and
Spiked a Switch; Only Timely Die
oovery Saved Disaster.

About 200 very long-faced students
Of the M. A. c., evidently fully realiz-
ing the gravity OF the offense charged
against them, filed into Justice Fra
zier's court in Lansing Saturday night
to tell what they knew OF the greas-
ing of 100 yards of track, the spilIing
of a switch and the short-circuiting
OF the current on the lines of the
Michigan United railway between
Lansing and East Lansing last night.
The act was committed with the
seeming intention of derailing an cleo
trio car loaded with junior students,
who were returning from the annual
y" hop, which had been held in the
Masonic temple, in Lansing. Had 1t
not been discovered in the nick of
time, ii would undoubtedly have pre-
cipitated the car and its human
freight into the ditch.
Nineteen of the accused confessed
to the greasing of the track, but
stoutly denied having any connection
with the more serious part of the per-
Torrance, and also declared that they,
the sophomores, did not compose more
than one-third of the crowd that did
the work. Chief of Police Behrendt
attempted to draw out the names OF
the students who had a hand in the
spixing and short-circuiting, but the
crowd refused to give their fellows
away. The chief then announced that
unless the guilty ones come forward
and confess to him, he will put de-
tectives on the case.

Various Matters.

Rep. Morrice, chairman of the house
committee on forestry has his new
forestry bill practically complete. He
has withheld its introduction ultil he
can go to Grand Rapids and consult
with members of the special commits
sion of inquiry. He is anxious to get
a bill that will pass muster in the
house and still be in keeping with
the ideas of this commission.
The house committee on state az
fairs has reported favorably a bill to
stop ball playing and other games on
Memorial day while the exercises of
the day are in progress. The friends
OF baseball have announced that they
have the votes to defeat the measure.
The same committee has reported fa-
vorably a bill TO class automobile
stealers the same as horse thieves,
and visiting a heavy penalty. The
bill is aimed at chauffers who use
their employers machines for Joy"
riding.
Former Sheriff Elmer r. Fales, Of
Ionia, is out for the wardenship of

Knocks Knox.

The house of representatives, by a
vote of 179 TO 1913 rejected the senate
bill removing the constitutional bar TO
Senator Knox serving as secretary OF
state. The action by the house does
not make the controversy final. The
senate bill is to reduce the salary OF
the secretary Of state to $4,000. There
is a bill still pending in the house to
remove the barrier against Knox en-.
tering the cabinet, but its phraseology
differs from the senate bill. 1t was
thought that settlement of the mat
ter could be FASTENED by the house
taking favorable action on the bill
passed by the senate. The house bill
is meeting with the objection Of some
representatives.

Republican Nominees.

The Republican state convention
was held in Grand Rapids and Chair
man William NJ Smith started the
proceedings with a speech in which
he bumped the party for extrava-
gance. The ticket nominated fol-
lows:
Supreme court justice-Chas. A.
Blair Jackson, and John w. Stone,
Marquette.
u. of NJ. regents-Geo p. Codd. De-
troit, and w. l.. Clements, Bay City.
Superintendent of public instruction
Luther l.. Wright.
Member education board-Wm. J..
McKone, Albion.
Members state board agriculture
|. Roy Waterbury, Highland, and w.
II. Wallace, Saginaw, six-year terms;
A. ]. Doherty Glare, and Robt. ID. Ora
ham, Grand Rapids, four-year terms.
Two-year terms-W. l.. Carpenter. OF
Detroit; W. J. Oberdorffer, Stephen
son.
The platform, which advocates the
holding of state conventions, says:
We are in hearty sympathy with
the demand for higher ideals in poll
tical and business life, and demand
the strictest integrity on the part OF
the public officials and business men.
We believe that the future welfare
of the nation demands the conserva-
tion of our natural resources; we are
heartily in favor OF preserving our
forests and favor changes in our tax
laws that will encourage individuals
to reforest waste lands and maintain
the present forested area.
We favor the greatest economy in
state expenditures consistent with the
proper conduct of our state institu-
tions. We congratulate the state of
Michigan upon its great university,
its agricultural college and other in
situations of learning. and ask that
the high standard of the past be main
tanned. We renew our allegiance to
the principle of protection, which has
been the cornerstone of Republican
ism since the birth OF the party.
We repudiate the theory that dele
gate representatives of an honest peo-
pie are less honest than the people
they represent. and We demand the
continuance of conventions for con-
ference upon state and national poll
cies and for the formulation of plat
forms outlining party principles.

Broken Paroles.

According to the report of Warden
