The City Ele cfion.

ne meade lily cleCtiOh is over
and viii go into history as the most
holly contested one in the past
twenty years.
There were two tickets in the field.
The Citizens Ticket co imposed of.
S ID Adams, for Mayor; and for
CounCilmen, o. Hamilton, Louis
Boehler, John Wehrle, ]. l. SIAM
per, and A. O. Rosenberg; and for
Police Judge, A T Bodle, Sr..whlle
the Peoples ticket was headed by
r A Brannan for Mayor and for
Councilman, W F Casteen. w II
Finkle, E w Fletcher, III Llewelyn
| Jones, and T w Thacker Sr. and
for Police Judge, E w White. The
above being the lineup, the battle
was waged for blood.
Adams, Boehler and Wehrle we're
members of the old Council and a
special fight was made on them, sew
eral reports being circulated which
was done to prejudice the voters
against the Citizens Ticket.
All day Monday both sides were
busy with automobiles hauling the
lady voters to the polls, and each
side worked diligently for their re-
spective tickets, each trying to get
all the votes they possibly could.
During the day several circulars
were gotten out by each side; one
making charges and the other ans
wering them.
AS we SAID, the warfare continued
until the polls closed at O'Clock
when each side thought that they
had won the day.
The vote was counted in about
two hours, there being $50 votes
cast, 1873 straight Citizens and 141
straight Peoples and only 81 split
tickets. The result was:
Adams for Mayor by 7 majority
over Brannan; Wehrle, Boehler,
and Hamilton were elected by 7
majority on the Citizens I Ticket and
H Llewelyn Jones and T w Thack
er Sr of the Peoples ticket were elect
ed Counciimen and E w White de-
feated a T Bodle ST., on the Citi-
zens Ticket, for Police Judge by one
vote.
When the result was announced
there was a toot of horns and blare
of trumpets, bon fires, balloon as
centions etcetera. In fact, there
was more enthusiasm than there was
after last presidential election.
The Water works bonds carried
by good majority.
In short, we had warm time in
the old town and the event will long
be remembered by the citizens of
Meade.
The following is the vote as can
vassed by the Council Wednesday
night:
For Mayor: majority

The Globe cannot see the advisa-
bllity of keeping any one man or set
of men forever and eternally at the
head of our city government. We
think, along with a large number of
our citizens that there are others who
should have a say in the running of
the affairs of this town.-From tn e
Globe, last week.
Well, the election is over, and the
sold gang" are still in the saddle;
not enough took the above advice.
We might add, that there are also a
large number of people who would
like to see you out of the post Office,
Frank; they can't see the advisabillty
either of keeping one man there for
eleven or twelve years. You, least
of any, have any kick to make on
anyone holding office for a long
period of years. Why, there are
grown boys and girls here in Meade
who never remember of having any
other postmaster. Frank, you are
al inconsistent as my big dog is full

A GREAT PARADE.
Fine Exhibit Of Automobiles in
Street PAGEANT

The parade Of automobiles in De-
troit on Saturday was both magnifi-
cent and wonderful, there being over
eleven hundred of these vehicles in
line, ranging from the big touring
cars to the small runaDouts and cleo
tries. Many of the cars were stun
ningly decorated with flowers, and
prizes were given for the most strik-
ing effects The parade was a pre-
liminary to the famous Gllcden tour,
which started Monday morning at 8
o'clock from in front of the city hall,
the sixth annual tour of the American
Automobile association, which in
cludes the contests for the Glidden
Hover and Detroit trophies. In all AZ
cars started, 81 of which are contest
ing cars-14 for the Glidden, IA for
the Hover and three for the Detroit
cup. In previous years the Glidden
trophy has been won on tours through
the eastern states, but now the cars
are to have a drive of nearly 1000
miles westward from Detroit to Den
yer and then $50 miles back to Kan
sas City, where the tour will disband.
The route leads the participants into
territory not previously travelled, and
there will be many novel features.

WATCHING THE GAME.

The umpires OF the National league
of professional baseball players had a
conference few days ago. They were
urged by the executive head of the or
ganization to enforce to the letter the
regulations against rowdy ball. This
official declared that the few players
who are inclined to be rowdies on the
field must not be permitted to negative
the good results achieved in recent
years of watchfulness The patrons
of the popular American game appre-
ciate this attitude, says the Chicago
Tribune. Baseball has a strong hold
upon the people. There are millions
who like to watch IL played. The
overwhelming majority want clean
sport on the diamond. 1t requires lit
tie argument to prove that rowdyism
Is losing proposition in the long run
A manager or player who is debarred
from the game for a few days be-
cause of offensive language or conduct
often Injuries his team greatly From
the point of view of playing strength,
rowdyism is harmful. From the point
OF view of those who like square, hon
est fighting and who patronize the
team to see real sport it has no place
in baseball.

Must Charge All Uniform Rate.

According to decree filed by Judge
Padgham of the Ottawa circuit court
the Citizens Telephone Company of
Holland has been found guilty of dis
eliminating in its rates to subscrib.
ers and has been ordered to restore
the uniform rate within sixty days or
cease to do business.
AS the decision vitality affects the
company's system of rates in all
Michigan cities, 1t is expected that
an appeal will be taken to the SUI
preme court. When the company
started business here the rates for
business phones was $24 and for resi-
dences SIS per annum When the
automatic service was installed two
years ago the rates to new subscrib-
ers were raised to $50 and SIS re-
spectively.
l.. c. Bradford, a business man,
made application for phone at the
old rate, but was denied and, repre-
senting over 200 subscribers, he
brought the matter to the circuit
court for test case

DOMESTIC STRIFE
LEADS TO CRIME
UkttAPPllY MARRIED THE END
COMES BY MURDER AND
SUICIDE.
CASE VERY GRUESOME.
Grand Rapids Furnishes . Horrible
Story, and Lansing One, Both Cases
Have Similar Cause.

The coroner's inquest into the
deaths OF Warren G. Rowland and his
wife, Vashti Perry Rowland, who were
found late Friday in vacant house
In Grand Rapids, and the autopsy on
the remains, revealed the fact that
Rowland first stunned his wife by
striking her on the head with his
wooden leg, which he had removed,
then wrecked the gas fixture, permit
ting the gas TO pour into the room,
and cut his own throat with a razor.
The woman died from aspnyxiation,
not from the blow on the head, which
according TO the coroner, only stun
ned her. The man also died from
asphyxiation. as the wound in the
throat was not deep enough to cause
death
Mrs. Rowland's body was found on
the bed. partially dressed, while that
of her husband was partially on the
floor. The room was full of gas, the
key hole, all the cracks in the door
and windows having been stuffed up
with rags and pieces of clothing.
They had evidently been dead nearly
two weeks
Friday afternoon neighbor mott.
fed the local gas Office that there was
strong odor of gas coming from the
vacant house, and an inspector was
sent there to investigate. He inspect
ed the meter in the basement and
finally worked to the second floor
He traced the leak to the side room,
and when the door was opened a hor.
rible stencil arose. The heat of the
room was excessive, and the gas was
pouring from the open jet The po-
lice and coroner were then notified
Owing to the stencil in the room
the officers were unable to make
careful examination till several hours
after the bodies were found. Then
they discovered the floor and door
knob spattered with blood and
bloody vest on the floor.
Rowland had a police record and
his reputation was bad. Mrs. Row.
land was the daughter of Mrs. Flora
D 'Brien, of Pontiac. Besides her sis
ter, Hazel, she has a brother, Lewis.
Mrs. Rowland was married in Grand
Rapids four years ago.

Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons and the authorities are at a
loss to know what to do to mitigate
the nuisance. The birds, which num-
Der some thousands, have a privileged
existence; nobody molests them in
any way, so that they flourish and in
crease rapidly. Recently so many COM
plants have been received from house
owners of the dirty condition of the
facades of buildings caused by the
pigeons that the Vienna magistracy
decided something must be done to re-
duce the number. In their perplex-
ity the magistracy appealed to the vi
emma Society for the Protection of
Animals to aid them in legal slaugh-
ter of the offending birds, always hay
Ing regard, however, to the provisions
of the new birds protection law. The
society answered that it would be
hardly consistent with their principles
of friendliness toward animals to en-
gage in a massacre of pigeons, and
therefore they must reject the official
appeal. The magistracy are now
wrestling with the problem alone.
Perhaps the unemployed of Vienna
might help them.

ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words. be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solvei
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi.
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making il a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory il is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape Nuts.

There is no possibility of a repeti-
ton in this country of the witchcraft
craze which, more than 200 years ago,
made Salem, Mass, very dangerous
place for suspects. That extraordinary
deiusion, which led to the hanging of
many innocent persons, seems unac-
countable to the enlightened minds of
the uresent time, says the Troy
Times. Yet that belief in witchcraft
still exists is shown by an incident in
Butler, Pa, where a woman was
charged by another woman, a neigh
Dor, with casting a SPELL over a COW
and thus preventing the animal from
giving milk. This was done, said the
complainant, through witchcraft. The
matter-of-fact justice of course disre-
garded the silly witchcraft story,
though he did hold the accused for
plain, ordinary assault. And proba.
bly, that was as near witchcraft as
anything that happened in Salem or
elsewhere.

The slaughter OF the Stegomyia fas.

agation of the yellow fever parasite
has been frightful, and something sim
