The State Convention Of the repub-
licans of Michigan is called to meet
at the Wayne pavilion in the city of
Detroit on Thursday, the sixth day
of October, 1910, at IL o'clock in the
forenoon for the purpose of nominal
ing candidates for state Offices, for
the election of a republican state cen
trail committee, and chairman
thereof, and for the transaction Of
such other business as may properly
come before the convention. Ionia
county is entitled to Is delegates.
In giving its reasons for opposing
Mr.. Burrows for United States sena-
tor and favoring Mr.. Townsend, the
Grand Rapids Press, among other
things, says:
No other man whom Michigan has
sent to Washington in years has
doomed so large in the public eye as
a constructive legislator. Few men
have made so thorough a study of
railroad problems. He was the real
author of the Hepburn law and was
the only member of the house that
Mr.. Taft called into consultation in
preparing the railroad measures sub
mitted at the recent session. To him
was entrusted the administration bill
in the house. In congress he has
shown himself leader and has been
thoroughly Independent. He has
stood for the people in legislative
matters and refused to be dominated
by the bosses. He enjoys the con-
fidence of Mr.. Taft and of Mr.. Roose-
welt. In his campaign for the sena-
torship he places himself squarely on
the side of the neoDle
Win the voters chose for their SEN
ator a champion of their own cause
or will they for sentimental reasons
retain one who is VIGOROUSLY opos-
ed to their interests? This is the
real issue and the main issue of the
primary campaign.

TAYLOR FOR SHERIFF

w. II. Taylor of Ionia was in the
city Tuesday on official business for
the county and in conversation with
him The Banner notes that his candi-
dacy for the office of sheriff is moving
along in fine shape. Nearly every day
he is receiving words of encouragement
from all parts of the county offering
support at the primary election. There
is no question of his fitness and quail
fication for the office if experience and
detective knowledge count for anything
Mr.. Taylor is the logical candidate and
should be nominated.

Spider-Web Suits.

Now that the hot weather Is with
us again II might pay some enthusi;
astic tradesman to revive the manu-
facture of costumes from spiders
webs, which at one time served to
make a cool and attractive fabric. The
first person to use the webs in THE
way was Montpelier merchant
named Bon. Louis XIV himself
deigned to appear in spider-web suit
with gloves and stockings oil the same
material, and several of his court fol
lowed his example. The fashion was
mt its height from 1909 TO I'LL. But

Attendants Awake at Night.
MedIterra0an Monk Brought From
Madeira Gives Keepers Little
Chance for Rest by Dread
Noise He Makes.

London.-The worst thing, accord
ing to their own estimate, that ever
happened to the keepers at the Zoo
Is Dodgers voice.
Bodger-he is called Baleful Bodger
now-is the Mediterranean monk seal
brought from Madeira a month ago to
the geological gardens.
On the voyage over he kept the
whole ship awake ever night by the
dreadful noise he made. This forced
the passengers and crew to conclude
that he was excessively seasick.
Now the keepers of the zoo know to
their cost that those sounds are Bod
gers natural tones. AS he has begun
to feed and Is In excellent health
they realize that they may have to
live many years with his voice, and
they describe the prospect as vile.
1T may not seem a serious matter
to Others" his keeper said, but II is
very serious to me.
Il have grown used to the bowling
of wolves, and when l slept near the
jackals they did not keep me awake.
After time the lions roars were a
lullaby, the eagle and the screech owl
ceased to worry me.
But Dodgers voice Is the limit OF
my endurance. 1t gets on my nerves
more and more. 1t Is spelling my ap-
petite"
Outside Dodgers cage was found a
crowd Of men, women and children.
Lying on the cement was Bodger
and every ten seconds or so he opened
his mouth wide From its dark depths
he sent forth a dreadful sound.
AS lieutenant put 1t, it was exact
ly like the noise one would expect
from an ass trying TO bray whilst tor.
tured by seasickness.
You watch" said the keeper. 1.-THE
people laugh at first, but II always
drives them away in the end"
The keeper was right. The specta.
tors faces lost their hilarity after
about three of Dodgers shouts. and
they went away.
"At night" the keeper continued
that fearful noise can be heard dis
timothy from one end of the gardens to
the other. The attendants who live in
the lodge near by complain that they
cannot sleep.
One of the girls at the refreshment
stall on the top of the terrace above

The Curtis property, recently
sold to South Carolina people, will
be developed, not as a site for a
Presbyterian theological semi
nary, but as a South Carolina
colony,
Mr.. Howard Caldwell, In charge
of the property, has established
headquarters in the Citizens Bank
building, and to a Daily Herald
man talked most Interestingly of
the plans Of the promoters of the
proposition. Nj. Caldwell said:
1--WE intend, in a more modest
way than some of the other similar
projects being worked out here,
to develop this beautiful property
as a South Carolina colony. The
present large house on the place
will be used as a nucleus, as a club
house, in fact, and the adjoining
land will be sub-divided and sold
to those wishing to avail them
selves Of the opportunity of being
in a little summer settlement COM
posed of people from their own
state.
The house will be opened on the
18th of this month, and will be in
charge of Mr. Cathcart and Mrs.
Dwight, of Columbia. A number
of people from South Carolina
have already signifed their inten-
ton of spending the present sum
mer there, and one man of promi-
nence, not only in South Carolina
but in the whole South, expects to
make it his residence during the
greater part of the year.
eve expect to do some building
this present season, but do not ex-
pect to be really ready for buis-
ness until next year. The proper
ty may be seen at any time, how
ever, and l would be pleased to
explain the ideas and plans of the
project to anyone interested"

HendersOnville Has The Crowd.

A visitor from the far South
said this to a Daily Herald man
this morning:
81 am surprised at the great
number of tourists | find In Hen
Jacksonville. Where / came from
the impression has gone forth
that the mountains around Hen
jacksonville are full of rain, that
the roads are impossible and that
things generally are not very at
tractive here. | am most pleas
antly disappointed indeed, /
have visited several other towns
in the mountains before coming
here, and nowhere do l find a
crowd to be compared in number
with that here. | have been In
the habit of coming to your town
for many years, and expect to
keep up that habit. I find the
people here congenial with no dis
position to "gouge" the unwar!y
stranger in their midst.
"Hendersonville is truly a most
charming town, beautifully sit
uated and with, it seems to
every possible natural advantage
possible for any town to possess
NJ admire the every evident pabhc
spirit of its people, as evidenced
by the extensive public works
now under way, and consi Ter it
a most remarkably heathful
town. So much SO, in fact, that

general counselor Of the Southern
Railway, with headquarters in
Washington, arrived with his fam
lily in his private car with train
No. 8 yesterday and left with

short while they were the guests
of Mrs. Northrup's mother, Mrs.
Grimkie, and the formers sister,
Mrs. Joseph Young, both of whom
are from Charleston and are stop
ping with Mrs. Toomer.
During his brief stay here Mr..
Northrup took a pleasure dri in
and around the city. When seen
by a Herald man last night in his
private apartment, Mr.. Northrup
spoke with repeated emphasis,
and most enthusiastically, con-
corning the beautiful surrounding
country and the progressiveness of
Hendersonville. cit has been
only a few years since I was
here he said, "'but failed to re
cognize the place. Only a few of
the old landmarks could be seen.
1t is marvellous that such a trans
formation could possibly take
place in such a short time. There
certainly must be an enormous
business going on here. This town
is certainly on the boom if / ever
saw one" Continuing he said, 81
am well impressed with your town
and l regret very much that my
business is arranged SO that /
can't stay here during the sum-
mer. The scenery in western
North Carolina is is simply grand,
and there's no doubt about Hen
dersonville's being in the most
beautiful part"
Mr.. Northrup said that his visit
here was by no means a business
trip, His family will spend the
summer at Highlands.

Charleston, S. c., July 23.-The
snap and flash of wireless today
e~esulted~in saving scores Of lives
n burning the passenger steamer
Mornus, from New York to New
Orleans. Fire broke out on the
MOrnus this afternoon off the
coast off Florida. Attempts to ex-
tinguish 1t were unsuccessful and
wireless call sent out was picked
up a sister ship Cornus bound up
the coast. The Cornus, however,
was so far away that it did not
reach the distressed ship until this
morning. All the passengers,
sixty in number, were transferred
in safety. The Mornu salso car
ried a crew Of 125. There was but
title confusion among the passen-
gers. A majority of them stayed
up all night, singing and talking
in the saloon. A few, however,
went to bed and other aided Off
GERS and crew in their fight
against the fire. After the pas
sengers were transferred the crew,
with the aid Of other vessels, sue
ceded in putting out the flames.
The extent of the damage is not
given, but it is believed the vessel
will be able to reach port without
assistance.
