EVERETT, WASH, June IL
Judge Black of the superior court
today denied the application Of the
United States Lumber company,
owning a mill at Darlington, to
restrain the people Of the town
from interfering with the work at
the mill. The Japanese driven out
of Darlington were all employees of
the lumber company.
Judge Black denied the injunc-
ton on the ground that no emer-
gency existed.
So far the people of Darlington
have won every point in their fight
against the Orientals. Vice Con-
sui Hayashi has returned to Seat
tie. He denies the published state
ment that he had appealed to the
Japanese ambassador at Washing
ton to bring the matter to the at
tention Of President Taft. 81 have
notified the ambassador of what
has happened, and the results of

BURROWS GETS BUSY
Tries To Head Off Sentiment Fol
Townsend

One of the biggest surprises in the
political arena sprung in Lansing
recently was the resignation of Nathan
f. Simpson, deputy auditor, TO take
up the management of Senator j. e..
Burrows campaign.
AS yet he has not announced where
he will establish headquarters, but
inasmuch as Mr.. Burrows interests
are being looked after in both Grand
Rapids and Detroit by personal friends,
Mr.. Simpson will not invade those
two cities.
The campaign managers of Charles
Townsend had been quietly working
and were making such great Roadway
that Mr.. Burrows had TO get very busy
and complete his organization in q
hurry to offset this quiet work. He
now realizes that he has a hard fight
before him if he is TO be reelected
senator. The people seem TO be clamor-
ing for younger and warmer blood
in the u. S. senate.

No Reason For Alarm

One word in conclusion on a trouble
some point about which we physicians
have to worry great deal and the pub
lie still more. One often hears the state
ment: "All this fuss about tuberculosis
is terrible for the poor victims who are
made social outcasts, TO their great dis
tress and to the alarm of their families. r"
There is no justification for this feeling.
There is no risk in close contact with
tuberculosis if the patient is ordinarily
careful about the sputum. If one is
morbidly afraid of the disease and de-
sires place of safety where one can get
away from its germs, go TO some first
class sanatorium for tuberculosis. Thera
are fewer germs there in the air and on
the floor than in any other place in the
country, and there is very little risk OF
catching the disease in the house OF
tuberculous patient if he takes good care
of the sputum, and sees that it is proper
ly diinfected.- DR.. William Osler in
Woman's Home Companion for Feb
ruary.

maid Mrs. Valeria Brown wore gown

One of the most marked improve
several years will be the new Bedford
jewelry store, corner of Main and
Second streets.
The new Grand Trunk station at
the foot of Second street and the paving
of the street in the spring will be the
making of Second street the main ar
terry of the town.
The corner building which Mr.. Bed
ford has leased for long term will
have new front of special design cost
ing over thousand dollars. A new
ron cornice will also enhance the pro-
perty. Mr.. Batson will place new
front in his second street entrance and
will have the finest restaurant in the
city. The great Improvements on the
building will cost probably several
thousand dollars and will make a
noticeable improvement in the appear
ance of Ionia, especially to strangers
entering the city.
The Bedford Jewelry store is one of
the land marks of the county, estab-
lished in 1867 by Allison Il Bedford,
who did large business reaching in
those days well north into the lumber
woods. A number of years later Mr..
Allison retired and the business was
continued by Robt. III. Bedford, well
remembered by our older citizens. In
1895 mis- son, Albert G. Bedford, took
charge and by vigorous and progressive
