sympathy of our whole community.
The remains were brought here and
the funeral held Thursday morning and
was attended by circle of sympathiz-
ing friends.

Sensational Charges Made.

New fraud charges of sensational
character are made in chancery suits
filed against the wife. mother and an
other relative of former State Treas
urer Frank p. Glazier by the Security
Trust Co. of Detroit, trustee in the
bankruptcy cases.
The suits are two in number, but
of similar import. They are directed
against Emily j. GlaZier, mother of
the former treasurer; Henrietta. his
wife, and Frank Sweetland, a brother
in-law. The trustee attacks the trans
fer to these persons of about ST. 900
worth or life insurance policies held
by Frank p. Glazier in the Pruden-
tial, Home Life, New York Life
Mutual of New York and Massachu-
sets companies. The policies were
assigned by Glazier to the relatives
named. but the trustee declares that
the assignments were really AIDE at
dates much later than those Endorsed
in the transfers, and when Glaciers
affairs had reached stage which
made such assignments unfair and
improper In the case of one policy
assigned to the mother. says the
trustee, the date given is September,

fers be declared void and the policies

Want osteopaths in 1910.

Michigan osteopaths who attend the
convention of the American Osteo-
pathic association, 10 he held in Min
nespo!is. will bring strong influence
to bear to secure the 1910 convention
for Detroit.
Through the efforts of DIR. T. l..

A. Bennett. secretary treasurer of the
Detroit Osteopathic society, and DR.. f.
Ashmore, vigorous campaign is be.
ing made among the prominent osteo-
paths of the country TO win their sup

of the eastern states are trying to get
the convention.

ship includes more than 1900. The
national convention usually draws
more than 1900 members

Delay MAY Cost Franchise.

The village council of Bellevue is
divided over the question of giving
w. H. Zimmerman of Lansing a 80
days extension in which to complete
his high tension wire system to that
village. Charlotte recently granted
the extension but three of the Belle
vut council made trip over the
route and came to the conclusion that
the operations to date did not war
rant an extension without a guaran-
tee that he would have the line ready
for use at that time. Mr.. thinner
man has franchises at both Charlotte
and Bellevue and it is believed the
delay will invalidate his franchises
at both points. To get new francise
would require a three-tifths vote of
the people, including taxpaying
women.

Valuable Knowledge Spreading.

Every day sees hundreds of new re-
cruits in the war against tuberculosis.
and every day brings new methods for
the fighting of the plague. The Ma
tional association predicts that If the
present degree of interest is main
tanned, within five years everybody in
the United States will have been in
formed on the way to prevent and
cure tuberculosis, and concerning the
infectious nature of the disease. Two
things in particular are needed, and
for these the National association is
working in every way. They are, a
more complete registration of tuber.
culosis cases, and the further isoia-
ton of dangerous advanced cases OF
consumption.

It's pretty late in the day for the
French to wrest from Benjamin Frank
lin the credit for inventing the light
ming rod. The French Academy OF
Sciences, it is said, as long ago as
1854 recognized French physician,
Jacques de Romas, as having an
nouncd a means of diverting lightning
in 1850, two years before the episode
of Franklin and the kite; but the
whole French people honored Franklin
when he was in that country as rep
resentative of the struggling colonies,
and it was a Frenchman who framed
the epigram crediting him with hav-
ing "snatched thunder from the clouds
and the scepter from tyrants." Erect
ing a monument to Romas will prove
nothing.
