NialNuue IN This day and age AZ
hurry is something many forget, but
Jas. James, OF Kansas, a travelling
man in Mexico last week, has new
Or forgotten the care of DR.. w. W.
Macfarlane, of Auxvasse, formerly Of
This city, when he saved his two
limbs from amputation after the
A~uxyasse bridge fell In 1871.
Mr.. James was in Mexico last week
He sat down in the dining room of
a local hotel beside Mr.. Abe jackson
and asked him concerning the where
abouts OF DR.. Macfarlane. When he
discovered the physician was in Aux
vase, he Immediately went there to
see him.
In speaking of the accident, DR..
Macfarlane said to a Ledger repre-
sentative. Thursday: at was in
1871 that a span Of the Chicago &
Alton railroad bridge over the Aux.
vase Creek fell. Mr.. James was at
the tEme employed In the work Of con
struction.
When the span fell with a crash
and rending of timbers, there was
little warning of the catastrophe and
though he made an effort to leave
the falling section, he was too late.
When picked up, after his fall
of ITO feet, both thighs were broken
and one limb badly crushed below
the knee. All Of the physicians, ex
cept me, were in favor Of amputating
both limbs, believing it would be i'm.
possible to save them.
Il held out against any such pro
cedure and finally my ideas prevail
ed. Mr.. James is to-day apparently
a strong man and has perfect use o.
both legs. He has v forgotten
how close he came to be a cripple
for life and seems to appreciate
my part in the affair.""

Is Mexico growing smaller?

Is Mexico growing smaller?
The births and deaths in a commuh
ity are a means OF keeping tab on a
city's growth. The Grim Reaper is
at present leading and there have
been more deaths in Mexico since
March s than births.
On March s, the births and deaths
registration at the City Hall was be-
gun. Since that time twenty-one
deaths have been recorded and eigh'
teen births.
Then, again, 1t looks as IL Mexico
may become an Adamless Eden un'
less the aspect of the birth record
shows a decided change in its sex
column. OF the eighteen births, ten
we're girls.
The matter of woman's suffrage
NAV become q serious question In
Mexico. if the stork continues to
show a preference for baby girls in
his visits here.
The registering of deaths anc
births is a law and any neglect &c
fulfill its requirements lays the OF
fender open to prosecution. The loca
registers are not as complete as the
should be and It seems that some
one has overlooked reporting dat;
of this character at the City Hall.

A CLEAR VIEW.
The AIIegan Gazette Graphically
Pictures the situation.

One of the most trenchant pens
in Michigan is that welded By Edw.
Reid, editor Of the Allegan Gazette.
Recently Editor Reid made use OF
the following language in comment
upon the gubernatorial situation:
There Is humor In the suggestion
from any adherent of the Warner
Kelley administration, that the up
per peninsula Is ridden by corpora
tions and that therefore neither Chase
s. Osborn nor any other man from
that section should be selected for
governor The upper peninsula has
many corporations and some power
full ones, and for that very reason 1t
has been the pet of the Warner ad-
ministration aided and abetted al
ways by Patrick H. Kelley, who al
ways framed his senate committees In
a way to provide for whatever the
upper peninsula wanted. The War
.ner-Kelley combination never did
anything In a legislative way but
what the upper peninsula wanted
done, or was willing should be done,
and that section had from them
third nomination and election were
accomplished by the upper peninsula,
and Mr.. Kelley well knows that he
will be quite as dependent upon 1t
for election IL he is now made the
nominee. 1t was for these reasons
and this necessity that Mr.. Kelley
evaded saying whether he favored the
tonnage tax on ores. Mr.. Kelley has
neither fear nor hatred of corpora
lions so long as they may be used as
he and Warner have used them In the
recent past.
1t is quite as safe to select a gov
ernor from the upper peninsula as to
select from the southern part of the
state a mere tool of the upper pen
insula corporations. In none Of
these is Mr.. Osborn a stakeholder,
nor does he hold any mining lands
in Michigan. He owns valuable prop
erty in the lower peninsula, and SC
is an "all-around" Michigan man de-
spite the fact that his family home is
in Sault Ste. Marie. Mr.. Kelley lives
in Lansing, but he has always been
the legislative friend of the mining
com panies, and right now he will not
be too hard" on them, because "they
may be where they can do us al
some good" in case the Republican
party shall make the woeful mistake
of nominating Mr.. Kelley for gov
ernor.
The Gazette does not believe that
| the Republicans Of the state are ready
TO select a governor from that class
| to which Mr.. Kelley belongs, and so
provide for certain defeat at the polls
| in November.

Experiences Of Three Young Women In

After three days, during which they
lad only twenty glasses Of water and
he juice of two oranges and one lem
n, the three Garden City IN. ~ young
vomen who started on Sunday night,
Nay 8, on a seventeen day fast for
heir health and to cure Indigestion, In
mgurated diet on Thursday, May II,
alling for one glass Of milk every
Jour-
~ feel better than have in a long
ime," said Mrs. Keith Trask as she
tiled glasses with milk for herself and
Hiss Anna Townsend and Miss Marion
IcKellar, her companions in the fast.
The unusual treatment has benefited
is greatly, and l expect that in six
months we viii have attained the re-
Iults we expected when we started
o fast"
All three are slender and rather
small, but they say there has been no
ippreciable loss of weight. "And IL
here has been we will quickly make
up on our milk diet" Mrs. Trask
laid.
"The first day I was ravenously hum
cry, the next much less so, and to-
lay Thursday have no craving for
God. l sat by my husband while he
lad his breakfast, but it was no temp
alton to me. Miss Mcclellan and Miss
Townsend were at the table with their
families at lunch, and they tell me
hat they didn't feel any hunger at
he sight of the food
"The first morning I was quite dizzy
when l arose, but l drank glass OF
water, and it passed away. On the
bird day 1 walked mile and half
% Hampstead. We are trying to avoid
excitement and any strain on the
nerves. l have slept like child-bet-
:er than in years. Miss Townsend
was q little restless the first night.
| Our chief guide is how things affect
is. If they agree with us we continue;
f not we stop. If the milk doesn't
agree with us we will take up diet
If boiled rice and prunes.
"The way we came to do 1t Is this:
If you don't feel full of energy or
ambition, If everything is an effort for
you, the doctors do little to help you.
[ think these feelings come from the
'act that the body is full of poisons.
Give nature a rest and let it repair
he trouble"
The young women say they will
stick to their plan and that number
IF their friends intend to do the same
f the results are satisfactory to them.

FORBES A DARING AERONAUT.
Former Narrow Escape of Balloonist
Wrecked Near Center, Ky.

"TGShCo NCdl SChtCIt NY
The Viking. in which A. Holland
Forbes. vice president of the Aero Club
IF America and resident of New York,
met with his latest aerial wreck near
Center, Ky, is said to be the largest
balloon in existence. having a gas ca
,acity of $4,000 cubic feet.
Many times Mr.. Forbes. who Is a
laring balloonist, has been near death.
He has met with several other acct
tents In his air voyaging that would
have discouraged any one less in love
with the sport. In October Of 1908 he
entered his balloon Conqueror In the
international balloon race that started
from Berlin With him was Augustus
Post, and the two men had narrow
escape from terrible death, for the
balloon exploded when at height or
1000 feet and shot toward the earth.
Fortunately the big silk bag formed
sort of parachute and let them down
easily enough to escape with only bro
zen limbs.
Forbes best fight was made in Oc-
.ober of last year, when, with Max
Fleischmann of Cincinnati, he won the
Lahm cup for the longest fight Of the
year. Starting from st. Louis on Oct.
70. the balloon landed near Richmond,
Va. the next afternoon, having COW
cred the 731 miles in nineteen and a
1uarter hours. Forbes said at the time
that he had ballast enough to have
continued his fight, but that when he
got within sight Of the Atlantic ocean
ne decided to land at once and not run
The risk Of being carried out to sea.

An international conference will be
held In Christiania, Norway, on May
10 to determine on form of govern
nent for Spitzbergen. The United
States has accepted an invitation sent
,ut by the Norwegian government to
participate. The state department at
Washington takes the position that
spitzbergen is no mans land. There
ire extensive coal fields there in which
American citizens are interested.
Sweden. Russia, Great Britain. Ger
many and Denmark have also been in
rited to send representatives to the
conference. The delegates will draw
lp a form Of government for the pro-
ection of property and game. 1t Is
probable that an international pro-
ectorate will be established under the
supervision of one or two countries
learest to Spitzbergen.

the only Republican paper in tn

the only Republican paper in the
county, the Record Commercial.
Osborn sentiment is growing In
Jackson. where his candidacy Is be-
Ing treated very cordially by the pub
fishers OF the Patriot and Citizen
Press. In Lenawee Editor Perry, of
the Telegram, is an old time friend
or Mr.. Osborn's, while Mr.. Daley, Of
the Times. is devoting his energies
to the Townsend campaign. In the
third district Mr.. Osborn has the sup
port of the three daily papers in
Battle Creek-The Moon, Journal and
Enquirer-and is making consider
able Roadway in that county, although
1t has long been regarded as admin
istration territory. The failure to
make County Clerk Ray Hart warden
at Jackson may have something to
do with the slump from Kelley. The
Recorder, the Albion daily, has been
with Mr.. Osborn from the first. The
Statesman at Marshall is friendly. In
Branch, the Courier favors Mr.. Os-
born, and the Reporter is not doing
him any damage. In Hillsdale, Mr.
Grandon's Standard-Herald, one of
ehC bGol oildll tOWh udliCo III lnS

wise the Leader. DR.. Sawyer, a Uni

tive for Mr.. Osborn, and with the
newspaper aid at hand 1t is expected
Hillsdale will find place in the o.
born column.
Looks Good Still Farther South.
The News-P Palladium, of Benton

columns to the Osborn candidacy
also the Banner-Register Of the same
