That's why Brantverne's electric

can undersell every one and give
better quality for less money than
others can afford to sell for. Why
pay big price for an inferior ap-

dealer from $40 to 500 for it.
Wise men investigate they don't

do, investigate. We show the
goods and prove them the best

Remember this S. belt is special
for a short time only and tests
several times as strong as any
other sold at double or ten times
the price. Brantverne is a genu-
inc manufacturer and can show

wife, a negress, to serve IS years in

lieved he had negro blood in his veins
and associated with members of that
race, the court held that he had
enough Caucasian blood to be legally
white
Lindsay recently was married to
Sophy Jones, a negress, the widow of
another negro, and has since lived
with her. The two were indicted on
the ground that Lindsay is a white
man, who married a negress, and be-
cause Sophy married a white man. be-
ing a negress. the law prohibiting in
ter-marriages between the races.
The judge declared, however, that
while he was forced to pronounce sem
tence, he would petition the governor
to pardon the prisoners, but On condi-
ton that all marital relations between
them should cease.

of Governor Haskell, was shown a
dispatch today to the effect that IL
witnesses were coming from Hastings,
Mich, to testify, but refused to make
any comment.
Mr.. Katon was formerly resident
of Hastings and it is inferred the gov

1900 and 1901. Katon is secretary OF
