Indian Superstition.

Dying to order is one of the most
sacred customs of the American In
dian. Thirty years ago Standing Elk
came to Mai. James Mclaughlin, the
author of MY Friend, the Indian"
and said: Father. my wife will die to-
day, and she wants coffin from you y
The major asked him what the all
ment was, and he replied: "Just moth
Ing, but she heard the ghosts calling
and must co." Somebody had told
her, it turned out, that she was sick,
SO she had painted for death and
all her relatives had gathered about
her to bemoan her-and incidentally
to divide her property as soon as she
was dead. There was no use In the
major arguing about it, so he had the
coffin made. In many cases those
painted for death" are actually bull
lied into dying. but Mrs Standing Elk
was still too vigorous Finally in
despair she carried the coffin into the
house on her own shoulders, and sew
eral years later the major saw it still
standing on end in her house. Shelves
had been fitted into it and it was do
ing duty as cupboard.

R0sTAND'S .CHANTECLER. 2
Conception of French Play In Which
No Human Characters Appear.

Conception of French Play In Which
No Human Characters Appear.
/ Edmond Rostand. the French dram
atist and author of ..L'Aigion," ..Gyra-
no de Bergerac" and other poetic dra-
mas, in an interview explains the his
tory of his conception of '.Chantecler,"
the long heralded farmyard play, which
was recently presented in dress rehears-
al before an audience of the elect at
the Porte Saint Martin theater in
Paris aud may be given in America
next season.
''In 1901" said he, while taking a
walk in the outskirts of Cambo | was
passing a humble farm when l sud-
denly stopped before the barnyard. 1t
was just an ordinary barnyard, con-
tanning the usual pigeon loft. wire net
tings, manure pile and, within, the ami
mails, hens, ducks, guinea fowl, geese,
turkeys, a cat asleep. dog wandering
about-in brief, very common spec
tacle.
Il watched with interest, when sud-
denly in stalked the cock. He entered
proudly, boldly, like a ruler, with dis
dain in his eye and a certain rhythmic
movement of the head which produced
the irresistible impression of hero.
He advanced like a buccaneer, like a
man in quest of adventure, king
among his subjects. In fash l saw
in this spectacle play. | returned to
the barnyard many times, and rapidly
the framework Of the play was con-
structed in my mind
Rostand's "Chantecler" is unique
among plays in the fact that no hui
| man character appears in it. The
| dramatis personae are fowls. birds and
| animals, and as they are necessarily
as large as the men and women who
enact the parts erything which ap-
| pears on the stage is on correspond.
| ing scale Chantecler, the hero, is
| filed with illusions about his place in
| the world. He imagines that the sun
rises because he has croWed. The
play dispels this illusion in the heart
| of Chantecler.

COMETS POISONOUS TAIL.
Yerkes Observatory Finds Cyanogen In
Spectrum of HalIey's Comet.

Spectrum of HaIIey's Comet.
Although astronomers at the Har-
ward observatory at Boston have not
yet made a Photographic spectrum of
Halley's comet, which is rapidly ap-
preaching the earth, telegram recent
ly received by them from the Yerkes
observatory states that spectra of the
comet obtained by the director and
his assistants show very prominent
cyanogen bands.
Cyanogen is a very deadly poison, a
grain Of it's potassium salt touched to
the tongue being sufficient to cause
instant death. In the uncombined
state it is a blush gas very similar
in it's chemical behavior to chlorine
and extremely poisonous. 1t is char
acterized by an odor similar to that of
almonds. The fact that cyanogen is
present in the comet has been COM
municated to Camille Flammarion and
many other astronomers and is caus-
ing much discussion as to the probable
effect on the earth should it pass
through the comets tail. Professor
Flammarion is of the opinion that the
cyanogen gas would impregnate the
atmosphere and possibly snuff out all
life on the planet
Only once, as far as known, has the
earth passed directly through the tail
of comet, and at that time no un.
usual phenomena were noticed except
that there were abundant showers of

The juror in question, Grant Nc

stories told to States Attorney Way
man, received $3.50, which they divid-

McCutchen's vote on the verdict
The first trial of Browne resulted in
disagreement; the second, in which
the alleged bribery is alleged to have
figured, in verdict of not guilty.
Among the witnesses for the state
were three state representatives who
confessed on the stand to being paid
$1,000 each for their votes for Lorimer.
Immediately the case went against
him, Mr.. Wayman began an investiga-

BY WHEAT SLUMP
Armour and Others Said to
Have Made Killing,
ARE NOW BUYING HEAVILY.
Went Short Ten Million Bushels When
the Market Was Fifteen to
Twenty Cents Lower.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The sharp decline
in wheat prices the last few weeks
has resulted in big killing" on the
part of the leading bears.
It is the general belief on the board
of trade that A. J. Lichstern and the
Armour interests have made millions
on the short side of the market They
have been the big shorts and the de-
cline in prices of Is to 20 cents a
bushel on big lines gives them paper
profits of immense proportions.
While the extent of their lines is
not known it is the opinion of well
posted traders on the floor that Lich-
stern and Armour were short at least
10,000,000 bushels of wheat. This esti-
mate is regarded generally as conser-
vative.
wheat represents paper profit of
about $1,500,000. Recent operations in
the pit indicate that these paper prof
its are being changed into cold cash.
For. the last three days the Armour
Grain company has been a big buyer
of wheat, both December and May.
! Buying on Large Scale.
Wednesday it's representatives start
ed in buying on a big scale when the
December sold below 80 cents for the
first time. The following day their
purchases were placed at about 1,000,-
900 bushels by pit traders and Satur-
day they were supposed to have
| bought in about 100000 bushels
more.
Commission houses supposed to be
acting for Lichstern were credited
with buying several million bushels
also. The speculative market has
been so weak the last few days thai
the big shorts were enabled to cover
millions of bushels without causing
any big rally in prices. The longs
have been forced to unload at steadily
depreciating values, giving the shorts
the opportunity to realize their profits
James A. Patten, while he has no
been operating heavily in the grair
markets recently, has been bear OF
wheat Other local professionals wht
are credited with making big killing
are John Barrett, Arthur Cutten ant
several Of the big traders operating
through the Bartlett-F Frazier house.

REGISTRATION OF WOMEN.
Attorney General Hands Down Opinion
on the Matter.

In an opinion recently rendered, At
torney General Kuhn holds that a
township board cannot accept the
name of a woman for registration be-
fore a meeting of the board, as he
claims the board really does not exist
until il comes together.
He says that a woman desiring TO be
registered as a voter must appear per-
sonally before the board and present
her name.
The attorney general also rules that
it is not necessary to have an enroll
ment in March prior to the spring
election. According to the general
election law the first Monday in April.
preceding the general election, has
been designated by the statute as en-
rollment day, and he can find no pro-
vision for a spring enrolment.
In another opinion Attorney Cen
eral Kuhn holds that the county is re-
sponsible for the sheriff's fees where a
prisoner Is held for non-payment OF
alimony. on several OCCASIONS ques-
tions have arisen to be the common
opinion in many counties that the
sheriff cannot collect such an account

that this number will prove a popular
one.
There will be a change of bill ana
change of specialitics for each evening

among them being Joe Harris, a native

stamps had better hurry, and get one

continued. Word to that effect having
been received by Postmaster Charles
Wickstrom today
The Calumet post office has a few of
these stamps on hand, but when the
present issue runs out, it will be i'm
possible to obtain any more. There
has been little or no demand for this
stamp lately, none having been sold
at the local post office for several
months. AS practically the same con-
dition prevails all over the country, the
postal authorities have decided to dis
continue issuing them.
When registered mail was cents,
and ii required a five cent stamp to
carry registered mail to foreign coun-
tries there was considerable demand
for the 13 cent stamp, but with the
advancement of the rate of registered
mail to 10 cents, and the reduction on
postage to foreign countries to two
cents. there has been a great demand
for 10 and cent stamps. There are nc
II cent stamps. This would be great
convenience particularly where there
are foreign populations, and it is
quite likely that the federal depart
ment will be requested to issue these
stamps.

According to statistics compiled by
Secretary of State Martindale there
were one-eighth as many divorces as
marriages i'm Michigan last year. Dur
ing the year 1909 there were 3,5lS di-
vorces granted in Michigan, an in
crease of Clio over 1908. The marriages
are based on the unmarried popula-
ton at marriagable ages, while the
divorces are drawn from the number
Of married people in Michigan, hence
there can be no direct comparison.
During the year 1909 it is noted that
27,353 marriages were recorded in this
state, an increase of 1878 over 1908.
This number corresponds to a rate of
POS persons married per 1000.
BY referring to the annual reports
in the department it is noted that the
number of marriages in Michigan has
increased by leaps and bounds since
the year 1898.
p, The total number of deaths returned
for the year 1909 was 36,313, a de-
crease of 44S from the number return
ed during the previous twelve months
The annual death rate of 1909 was
1876 per 1000 estimated population, as
compared with 1879 for 1908.
There was also a decrease in the
number of births last year, 64,S1S GER
tificates being returned to the depart
ment as compared with 64,772 the pre-.
vious year. 1t is an interesting fac
that the counties having the larges
birth rate for the year are Keweenaw

to the large foreign population. Alpen;

all of the soprano parts being sung by
boys only. Their flute-like voices
showed wonderful training and were
much appreciated by those present.
Prof August Espel, leader of the choir,

some of the solo parts were taken by
ladies as that is not correct The
basses are also steadily improving.
Both the choir and its leader are de-
