Voting Machines Can Be Worked.

The beginning Of the suit started
by Edwin Henderson, agent for a vot-
ing machine concern against the super
visors of Saginaw county as a test
case to determine the constitutionality
of the voting machine act of 1909
proved an interesting proceeding. Cor
poration Counsel Hally of Detroit
whose city Is awaiting the result OF
this case before deciding on the pur-
chase of machines to the value of
$4,000, is one Of the attorneys in
the suit.
Hally made an interesting test with
a rubber band to show that the ma.
chimes can be manipulated. The band
was placed over two Of the levers, ty-
ing them so effectually that when the
large lever at the top of the column
was moved to vote a straight ticket
these two did not register on the
counters.
Another point brought out was that
in case ii was found necessary to
throw out the ballot of voter who
was proven unqualified. there was no
way to determine which was his bal
lot.

promise Of marriage. robbed them and
then killed them, burying their bodies
In her grounds.
Lamphere's confession, which Is
published in the Post Dispatch, was
made as he lay at the point of death.
He said he assisted Mrs. Guinness in
disposing of the bodies of three of
her many victims.
Lamphere said he saw one of the
men killed and that he aided in bury
ing all three.
These men were Andrew Helgelein
and probably Ole Budsberg and Ton
ness Petersen Lien.
Lamphere said he thought he had
| received as much money for his part
in disposing of the bodies as he con-
sidered himself entitled to and that
he went to the farmhouse at night
with a woman, chloroformed Mrs.
Guinness, her three children and Jen-
ME Olson, the hired girl. and robbed
the house Of between $50 and $40.
The light they used was candle
and they left the house without know
ing they had left behind a spark that
soon burst into flames.
Mrs. Guinness method OF killing her
victims, Lamphere said, was to first
chloroform them as they slept and
then. If the drug did not itself kill, to
sever their heads with an AK.

Thirty-four Exhibitors in the Expo

Lose Heavily.
LOSSES IN FLAMES.

Fire, originating from defective wir-
ing In the Shepard building, Grand
Rapids, destroyed that structure and
the seven-story Furniture Exchange
building, with list of losses aggre-
eating nearly 100000. For time it
was feared the entire business dis
trict in the vicinity of Ionia, ottawa
and Fountain streets was threatened,
but the firemen kept the blaze cen
fined to the two structures.
The Furniture Exchange building
was remodeled about a year ago from
the old Auditorium. where the coun-
try's greatest singers and actors have
trod the boards, and has been used
as a furniture exhibition building. It's
roof caved in, carrying with it seven
floors, piled with sample furniture
owned by 81 concerns from all over
the country.
The Shepard building and the Fur
niture Exchange block are separated
by a fire wall. The blaze broke
through a sub-floor dividing the first
from the second stories of the Shep-
ard block and surged across drive
way used by the Young q Chaffee
Furniture Co.. breaking through the
windows of the magnificent furniture
structure and burning through from
the first floor straight to the roof. The
flremen were badly handicapped by
the force Of the flames driving them
back, and it was as much as they
could do to allow the Furniture EX-
change building to be destroyed and
attempt to save the Shepard block
and the Peninsular club building on
the west

Summer and Fall
Top-Dressing and Seeding Down

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down dur
ing the summer and fall, claiming
that by so doing they are apt to
get much better catch" than
when they follow the usual prac-
tice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after hay
ing with perhaps small applica-
ton of nitrate of soda the following
spring.
If you send your name and p. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde
Park, VT, he will send you free,
postpaid, several formulas for mix
ing fertilizers especially adapted to
top-dressing and fall seeding, to-
gether with prices of ingredients,
full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved
by the Vermont Experiment Sta
ton and will be found thoroughly
reliable.

Rutland Herald.)

(Rutland Herald
The modern hospital is an insti-
tuition the benefits of which are
incalcuable. 1t is one of the most
remarkable evidences of the humani-
tartan spirit of the times in which
we live, that such institutions are
being endowed in every direction, by
those who desire to do what they
can toward ameliorating the suffer
ings of the diseased and prolonging
valuable lives, which would other
wise speedily go the way of all
the earth.
The Rutland City Hospital has
been handicapped in its work in
the past through lack of adequate
facilities to handle the constantly
increasing service for which it was
founded. In spite of serious obstac-
les in this direction, however, this
institution has done a splendid
work, and many a man, woman and
child has had cause to bless the
skillful hands that have performed
delicate operations and nursed back
to health and strength those who
have gone down deep into the
shadows.
The magnificent gift Of Nahum P.
K ingsley wherein he provides the
funds, $4,000, for the erection and
fitting up of an up-to-date operat-
ing room at the Rutland City hos
pital, is appropriate and timely.
This splendid gift will put the
hospital among the first institu-
lions of it's class, and it is not too
much to say that the influence and
value of this donation will go on,
for generations yet to come. 1t is
such acts as this, characteristic of
the age in which we live, that speak
louder than words of the upward
progress of the human race.

General regret will be felt through
out the State at the decision of Hon.
Joseph A. DeBoer not to permit
the use of his name as a candidate
for city representative at the next
election. Had he been willing to
accept a reelection it is probable
that he would have been chosen
speaker of the house with little or
no opposition if he had been willing
to take the office. Since his name
was first suggested for the position
several months ago the Journal
has known that Mr.. DeBoer was
very reluctant TO stand for re-elec-
ton. If he had decided to be
candidate this paper would have
been delighted to urge him for
the speakership, believing that he
would have been an ideal man for
