SPEAKER cAMPBELL's RULING IS
CAUSING ALL SORTS OF
TROUBLE.
A RULE AMENDMENT NOW
There Seems To Be a Warm Time In
the Fire Just Now With Odds In
Favor Of Speakers Forces.

Since Speaker Campbell's ruling
last week which 1t is claimed is In
violation of the new constitutions pro-
vision to enable a majority to do
things Independent of committee re-
ports, there has arisen a lively scrap
which will go to a finish with the
speaker holding the whip hand,
though Rep. Champion may bring
some compromise by blocking work
On Friday when resolutions were
reached on the order Rep. Dusen-
bury took advantage of his constitu-
tional privilege and offered a protest
against the ruling of the speaker for
insertion In the journal. The same
action was later taken by Rep. Bryant
and both were scorching in their
tone.
Champion brought on the battle
again by offering an amendment to
the rule specifying Cushing's manual
as the authority for the rules, by max
ing the constitution of the state come
ahead OF the manual. He endeavored
to speak on his motion, but was con-
tinually interrupted, raising points Of
order. The resolution was finally sent
to the rules committee by a vote of
AZ to 81.
The house was seething throughout
the afternoon. There were continual
hare-ups and the debate at all times
was intense.
Mr.. Dusenbury on Saturday de-
clared that he believes the plan OF
the faction UNFOLDING the speaker is
to report out the bill placing tele-
graph and telephone companies under
the ad valorem system at once in or
der to forestall the move OF the in
surgents to ask the house to take the
bill away from the committee.
They think this will be a clever
coup to break our forces and steal
our thunder but it does not settle
the question OF whether those rules
are amenable to the constitution"
said Dusenbury, land I am willing to
remain here all summer, salary or no
salary, and fight this proposition out.
Another reason why l predict this
move Is that Campbell is afraid that
IL this move is successful, il will be-
come a habit with the house and com
mittees will be Obliged to give up
some bills supposed to be safely
smothered"

Dimondale, the badly decomposed
body of whose son, Clyde, was found
floating in the river below the north

Mr. Saben said that he was positive
after seeing the wound in the fore
head of his dead son and from other
circumstances that Clyde had met
with foul play. and mentioned the
names of two girls and a man.
Saben added that his son had had
an unfortunate relation with Di-

wanted to marry his son. The young
woman had a sister in Lansing, and
Clyde had also been friendly with
her.

Suspect Foul Play.

The body of John Smith, a we'll
known Buchanan painter, was found
one mile north of the village by sec
ton men on the branch OF the Pere
Marquette railroad. 1t was found ly-
ing across the track The neck was
broken and the head lay over one OF
the rails, the feet touching the other
one. From a wound on the face it
would appear that Smith had received
a blow which caused his body to fall
across the track, breaking the neck.
When last seen Smith was with his
brother, George Smith, and Charles
Chartwood, local stone mason. They
had been drinking heavily all day and
Smith was placed in charge of Chart
wood while he returned to town. Foul
play is suspected.

for the prevention of smut. contains
the following valuable information
Enormous LOSSES occur annuity
from the reduction of oat Yields by the
ravages of smut. This loss can be
largely if.not entirely avoided by treat
ing the seed with a formain.
- Formain is 40 per cent solution
of formaldehyde il can be procured
from or by local druggists; the stan
dard strength should be guaranteed.
The solution most commonly used is
made by adding one pound or pint of
formalin to from forty to fifty gallons
of water.
The treatment may be applied In
one of two ways; viz
Clean carefully a large area of
the granary- or barn floor and saturate
with solution: upon this spread layer
of grain several or more inches in
depth Apply formaldehyde solution
to grain with garden sprinkler. and
stir well with shovel. Repeat the
sprinkling and stirring until the
grain is thoroughly moistened and
then shove. into. the smallest sized
pile possible, where it should remain
for not less than two hours. Then
spread the grain and dry it sufficiently
to pass through the drill If to be sown

ing the grain on canvas sheets out in
the air and sunlight. Bags or sacks
other than those used for dripping
should be treated. including the grain
drill.
In adjusting the seeder, allowance
must be made for the swelling of the
grain. Formalin should not be added
to the water until ready for use. The
results secured will depend largely on
thoroughness of application.
The same method will apply in case
of barley.

Three girls Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Else-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger, who, finding bag belonging
to one of them, took enjoyment In scru-
timing a photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada. The young women on
q sightseeing tour met Mrs. Graham,
anxiously awaiting her husband. who had
duced to Lord Wilfrid and Lady Edith.
A cottage by the ocean was rented by
the trio for the summer. Elizabeth
learned that a friend of her fathers was
being the queer-acting stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home,
but discovered by the cards left that one
of the men was Elizabeth s fathers
friend. The men proved to be John G.:
Blake and Gordon Bennett: A wisp of
yellow hair from Mr.. Graham's pocket
fell into the hands of Elise. Mrs; Gra-
hams hair was black. Lady Edith told
the girls of a robbery of jewels at the
hotel Fearing for the safety of her own
tage. Mr. Gordon Bennett was properly
introduced. explained his queer actions,
returned the lost bag and told of mysteri-
Gus doings OF a year before CONNECTED
with the cottage: Exploring the cellar,

Gordon Bennett and Lady Edith were

plored the cellar, overhearing CONVEX

with murder. The young women agreed
to keep the secret. Lady Edith told a

Anger Shrinks Vitality.

DR.. Maurice de Fleury, distin.
guished Frenchman, advances the the
DRY that every time one becomes an
cry his vitality shrinks. After even
the most artfully suppressed signs OF
bad temper the vitality becomes small
er and smaller, until finally nothing Is
left. Anger Is a certain kind of CO.
rebral excitement, explains DR.. de
Fleury. The hyperasthenic subject is
always on its verge, while the neuras-
thenic becomes Infatuated only by a
sudden bound of reaction excited from
without. But at that moment when
they are let loose the two are alike
save that the strong man is a binder
brute, while the weak man is some
what of an actor and seems to aim at
effect
