SISTERLY
DEVOTION
Death Of Mrs. Mott
Recalls the Notorious
BidWeIls.

Muskegou, Mich. Dec. IA life Of
sisterly devotion that has few equals
I'm history was brought To a close by
the dea,n yesterday. at the age of IS
years. of Mrs. Harriet c. Mott. sister
Of the notorious BIdwell Brothers. who
made themselves the most famous
forGers Of the nineteenth century by
their $l000.000 swindle of the Bank
of England.
Mrs. Mott. who outlived her broth.
CTS, died practically pennilcSs, al
though she once owned one of the fin.
est farms in Muskegon county and
valuable property in New York state
All her property went toward pro
noting the cause of her hyothers'
freedom.
When Austin and George c. Bidwer
committed their famous swindle in
1873, Mrs. Mott vigorously entered into
the fight 10 win the liberty OF her
kin and carried her cause into the
White House and before the nobility
of England
She went everywhere raising funds
and made nine trips across the Allan
tic. She refused 10 look upon her
brothers AS great criminals and con-
sidered that their sentences to life
imprisonment were miscarriages OF
justice.
When nt last she triumphed and
saw the last Of the brothers. Austin
Bidwell. leave old Newgate. in 1893.
the devoted sister returned to Mus
kegon and set about raising money to
pay off ,Ae debts OF her campaign
The brothers died in the west while
on lecturing tour. but she kept on.
a book written by Austin Bldwell on
his experience was her chief asset.
She boasted that she paid back every
penny borrowed in her long fight.

sion that Mrs. L. A. Holdredge. one of
the victims of the wreck of the

ceremony yesterday that 201 residents
OF the city went to the cemetery. three
miles out Of town, at midnight, eN-
hnmed the body and aftor eXamina-

The idea that the woman was still
alive seems to have arisen from the
fact that her face was highly colored
and her body and limbs relaxed at
the time burial was made.

The Wicked Potato Buu.

The potato bug is probably the great
est obstacle to the raising of potatoes,
but Notwithstanding the deadly work
of this pest it Is easily controlled If
resort is made to arsenical poisons. A
good method is to hand pick these
bugs, but it is q tedious task. The
most popular course Is to use paris
green either as dust or as part of
liquid solution. If the bugs are taken
as soon as they appear 1t will seldom
be necessary to treat the entire field
The bugs, being killed on the part of
the field where they appear will have
no opportunity to extend their labors
to other parts. A recommended treat
ment is one pound Of pure paris green
to $50 gallons of water. When dust is
used one pound Of the paris green may
be mixed with fifty pounds Of air
slaked lime and the resulting powder
applied by being sifted over the plants
with some kind of box in which are
small holes. A good sized pepper box
is found serviceable. In such case It
is better TO apply the dust while the
dew is on the vines.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and

Owosso women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache, hip
pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distress
ing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kid
neys and warn you of the stealthy ap-
proach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright's
disease. Doans Kidney Pills per-
manently cure all these diseases. Here's
proof of it in an Owosso woman's
words:
Mrs. George Dreher, 113 S. State
Street Owosso, Mich, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills have never failed to bene-
fit me when l have taken them and
therefore l can heartily recommend
them. l suffered from backache and
pains in my kidneys and l was unable
to get relief until l commenced taking
Doan's Kidney Pills. They strengthen
ed my kidneys and toned up my entire
system and after taking them 1 felt
stronger and better in every way. Other
members of my family have used Doan's

Scotland and Horse RACING.

Scotland has been famous for its
HORSES from the most ancient days
When Agricola defeated the Caledo-
mans at the battle Of the Grampians,
A. ID. "a, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus
relates. were exceptionally strong In
cavalry and charioteers. Successive
kings Of Scotland did much to improve
it's native breed Of horses, and In this
connection it is not to be forgotten
that the first Scottish king OF Eng
land, James L. did more TO improve
the race hGrsss in our island than was
ever done before him or has ever been
done by any individual since. James
I. was the real author Of horse racing
