Crushed Under a Roller.

Thrown off land roller, a heavy
cylinder drawn over a plowed field to
crush the Jumps, dragged by the foot,
then thrown under the roller and
crushed, Harley Norris, 1S-year,old
son of John Norris. of New Haven
township, seems certain to die. Both
his shoulder blades are broken, as
also three ribs. and there are other
internal injuries.
The horse drawing the roller was a
colt. 1t started suddenly, throwing
the boy off the seat. II raced across
the field, hauling him along by the
tangled reins, and brought up against
fence. There it backed the roller
over the driver.

The Missing Mr.. Curtis.

A letter bearing the postmark OF
Seattle, Wash, has been received by
Mrs. Frank S. Curtis from her hus-
band, who disappeared from the
Wayne hotel in Detroit April q. while
bound for Mackinaw, Mich. The let.
ter is so incoherent as to lead his
wife, who lives in Crawford, ~ j., TO
fear that his mind has failed him.
Curtis is a railroad engineer, and
while designing the intricate track
plans for the new Grand Central sta
ton in New York he was engaged to
lay out a railroad in West Virginia.
1t was on that business that he went
to Michigan, from where he disap-
peared The letter gives no address
and the Seattle police have been
asked to look for him.

Sale of Beer Stamps.

Here is puzzle: The May receipts
for the sale of all kinds of internal
revenue stamps are nearly double
those Of last May, despite the fact
that some 10 counties embraced local
option last fall, and as result are
now supposedly as dry as the Sahara
desert The sale of beer stamps has
not fallen off, and few of the brew
many stamps as ever during the
month.
The latest records in the local In
ternal revenue office shows that there
has been a heavy influx of saloon
keepers, hotelkeepers, etc, into the
wet counties, and that the number OF
new arrivals in Detroit Just about tops
the list of wet migrants.

The new TUITION LAW.
This Measure VIII be Of Special Interest to
Residents In Rural Communities.

One of the most important bills
passed by the legislature in years. is
the free bill which provides for the
payment by the district of tuition OF
graduates of eight grades of district
schools. who may want to attend
high school. Thus many pupil of
humble means will be assisted In get
ting a better education without which
the Young men and women OF to-day
are badly handicapped in the competi-
ton of life. This is one of the broad.
est and most important advances for
wears.
AS the new constitution provides
that bills passed do not become laws
until 80 days after the session OF the
legislature closes, unless otherwise
specified. it will not be possible &C
coring to the present state of the bill
to take advantage of the proposition
till next year It is possible, however.
that provision may be made ar
ranging the law so that pupils who
make application for tuition in June
may enter school next fall. The bill
will be of the greatest benefit to those
aspirants for an education. who can
not afford TO do so because they lack
the means and many of them Will
surely take advantage of the privilege.
The bill follows:
The People of the state of Michigan
enact:
Section 1. The board of education
of any school district which does not
maintain a high school shall have
authority and is hereby required to
vote tax sufficient TO pay the tuition
to one of the three high schools of any
Children residents of said district who
have completed the studies of the
eight grades, not exceeding in amount
twenty-five dollars per pupil and may
vote tax to pay the transportation
during school DAYS of such children,
such EXPENSE and tuition TO be paid by
the treasurer of the district in which
the pupil resides to the treasurer OF
district where the high school attend
ed is located: Provided. that parents
of such children shall give written
notice of the board of education on or
before the fourth Monday of June
that they are parents or legal guard
ians of such children and that such
children desire to attend some certain
one of the three nearest high schools
during the ensuing year. Upon re-
ceiving written notice of children
eligible to attend high schools the
board of education shall vote tax
suffiient to over the necessary expense
for tuition as herein provided. and
any may vote tax sutfiient to over
the necessary expense for daily trans
portion of: Provided further. that
any money in the treasury of said
district belonging to the primary fund
penses and tuition In lieu of a tax
thereof
Section 3 The tax provided for in
section CT this act shall be reported
to the the clerk of the township In
which such district is located and
shall be spread upon the tax roll of
such township in the same manner
and at the same time as other school
taxes

Doesn't Want Fourth Term.

Mayor Breitmeyer followed Gov
Warner in an address at Ludington
when the Detroit Board of Commerce
landed there and, during the course OF
his remarks, said: Good people OF
Ludington, Gov. Warner told me this
morning that he will not be your gov
ernor again."
This is probably the first public an
nouncement that the governor does
not want a fourth term.

The Sensible Way

The mistake most men make is
that they judge clothes by the way
they look when they try them on.
They forget that unless they are
pure wool, they will look "seedy"
IN mighty short time.
But most clothes of all wool cost
too much.
CLorHcRAFr CLOTHES have
style, they are pure wool and do
not cost too much.
This is the sensible kind-the
kind for you.

Butler Clay, a 7O-year-old negro,
who was being held in the Kalama-
zoo jail awaiting an examination as
to his sanity, killed himself last night
by cutting his throat with a
razor. This was the second attempt
the man had made, having tried few
days ago to dash his brains out against
the cell walls.
Mrs. Minnie Raser, the wife of
Pulaski township farmer, who attemp-
ted to kill herself by shooting, Satur-
day. while respondent and hysterical,
is in a critical condition, not from the
wound but because after she became
conscious after the shooting and real
lied what she had done. she became
violently insane Physicians say that
this state of affairs makes her recov-
cry doubtful.
Mrs. Mary Bloch, the Sault Ste
Marie woman who killed her infant
daughter by striking her on the head
with her fist and then throwing her
into pool of water in the woods, has
been sdjudged insane.

II now looks as though ex-Represent-
alive Charles Z. Ward would again
come to the front in the political field,
and this time in an even larger way
than was the old. This is made pos
sible through the election of Congress
man Lorimer as United States senator
from Illinois, as Ward is now private
secretary to Lorimer.
Ward, after escaping on a techni-
cality from the investigation into the
Presley case, went to Chicago and en-
tered the employ of Lorimer as a day
laborer. From there his rise was rapid.
however. and in a comparatively short
time he found himself in the respops-
ible position he now holds.
