CONVENTION TO MEET
At DETROIT OCTOBER s.

On October the republican state
convention will be held in Detroit, and
every indication points toward a har-
mouious convention. 1t is anticipated
that but one fight will develop and that
will be on attorney general and will be
mainly between Franc Kuhn and Grant
Fellows, with the former safely in the
lead at the present time, who already
has the Wayne and Kent delegations of
over 300, to say nothing of many smaller
delegations.
All the other state officers, including
Auditor General o. b Fuller, Secretary
Of State Frederick g. Martindale and
Commissioner of the State Land Office
Huntley Russell and State Treasurer
Albert E. Sleeper, will be nominated
without opposition.
There has been considerable talk that
a fight would be made on o. B. Fuller
as auditor general, but this rumor has
no veritication and in the face of what
Mr.. Fuller has done for the state in the
two years that he has been in Office, it
does not look consistent n face OF the
fact that he is also the logical candidate
for another term

GORTON ADvERT|SES
A BIG PIANO SALE.

The True Northerner has just printed
for L. B. Gorton several thousand large
bills advertising a special sale of pianos
returned from summer rental. These
bills will be distributed throughout his
entire territory, which comprises about
60 towns in south western Michigan.
We have also on the press large order
of booklets completely exposing the
fraudulent nature of piano guessing and
puzzle contests which are being unfairly
exploited by certain houses. Through
persistent effort and business methods
of unquestioned integrity, MIR. Gorton
has gained for himself the respect aud
absolute confidence of the people in his
territory. His stock is by far larger and
more complete than is usually found in
city of $4,000 inhabitants, and the re-
markable growth of his business year
after year attests to the fact that people
do not fail to fully appreciate clean bust
ness methods and pianos of high quality

LIKELY To Be
LIVELY SESSION
Many Important Matters Will Come
Before the Legislature at It's
Next Session.

The next state legislature will have
some important legislation to enact, a
number of present laws to modify and
should take steps to see that an addition
is built to the capitol building. At the
present time the state is paying out
large sums for rent and hardly depart
ment but that is badly crowded.
A few changes in the primary law are
necessarysNO One change very imperative
is the date upon which the fling of petit
tions close. 1t has got to be made early
to help in the working of the law and
some steps should be taken TO have diff
ferent or at least new enrolment books
with the names alphabetically arranged.
AS many OF these books are now, it is a
difficult task to pick out and check the
names.
Some phases of the liquor law will
probably be modified, as its working is
not entirely satisfactory, although con-
sidered the best law of its kind the state
has ever had Indications are that the
state legislature will have a strenuous
time ahead during the first few months
of 1911.

WADE K|LLEFER
HOME FOR SEASON
Nationals. Came Home Loaded
With Fishing Tackle.

Wade Killefer arrived home last
Thursday. He is feeling fine, although
be has lost many pounds during the
strenuous seasons work. He will proba-
bly, not play again this season unless his
club should call upon him for few
games. He has played excellent ball at
second base for the Washington team
and is probably fixture now with that
team at second base. The team has ac-
quired considerable new timber from the
minors which they are desirous of try
ing out" before the season closes. He
came home loaded down with all kinds of
fishing tackle and the probabilities are
that all kinds of fish stories will now be
the order of the day. The True North
erner will chronicle all catches made by
the sturdy disciple OF Isaac Walton that
look good in print.

WILL PRESENT
STRONG FRONT
Republicans of State Work in Har-
mony for Success of the
Entire Ticket.

With the November election less than
six weeks distant the republicans of
Michigan are preparing to present a
strong front on election day and indica-
tions are that the entire ticket will be
elected with large maiorities from the
head OF the ticket down.
After the primaries the various leaders
of the several gubernatoriai candidates
have united, which will give the nominee,
Chase Osborn, a solid vote throughout
the length and breadth Of the state. It's
up to all republicans to turn out on
election day and see that their choice is
given big majority, for this year the
vote will not be swelled by presidential
election.
The big majority with which Mr.. Os-
born was chosen as gubernatorial nom-
inee should be given to him on election
day by four or five times as great, and
it's up to the republicans of this state to
unite in the cause of republicanism and
republican principles

GUN EXPLODED;
HAND MANGLEO
Maylon Borst Lost Two
Fingers by Explosion
of Musket.
COMPANIONS ALSO INJURED
Pieces of Gun Blown into Flesh of
Other Boys. but Their Injuries
are Slight.

An unfortunate accident occurred last
Sunday afternoon in which Maylon
Borst lost two fingers of his left hand
and several of his companions we're
slightly injured.
The young man, in company with sew
eral of his friends, went to Lamphear's
pond to shoot ducks. During the course
of their travels they met Eddy Dow
and Harley Phillips, the latter, boy of
II years, armed with an>-old fashioned
muzzle loading musket The Phillips
boy had exhausted his ammunition and
wanted the other boys to share with
him, which they did. Pulling the shot
and smokeless powder from their shells
and loading the same into the musket,
several shots were fired with DO bad
results, when the boys thought they
would try mixture Of smokeless and
black powder. The load was a heavy
one and all seemed afraid to pull the
trigger Borst, however, was brave and
volunteered to shoot the gun. 1t went
of with terrific report, and when the
smoke had cleared away, it was found
that the old gun had been blown to
pieces, two fingers of Borst's hand shot
away and his hand otherwise mangled,
one piece of the barrel entering the mus
cles of Roy Salisbury's back, another
cutting into Max Reynolds leg and
some of the shot penetrating lynn
Lakes shoe. None of the injuries were
of a serious nature except those to
Borst His companions bound up the
wrist to stop the flow of blood, and he
walked to town, where the wound was
dressed. 1t is getting along nicely, and
the prospects are that the balance OF the
hand will be saved.

James l.. Marshall Finds
Valuable Jewels and
Gets $500 Reward.
BELONGED TO MRS. PANTL|NO
Lost Treasure from Coat Pocket.
Picked Up by Mr.. Marshall Soon
After. Valued at S3,000.O0.

They say that some people are born
under lucky star. IL there is any
truth in the saying, James l. Marshall
, of Paw Paw certainly has reason to
believe that his star IS a lucky one.
He is $500 richer than be was last Tues
day morning, and the acquisition OF this
wealth was purely matter OF luck.
Last Tuesday. j. Boyd Pantlind and
wife and Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Han
chett, all of Grand Rapids, stopped in
Paw Paw en route from South Bend,
Ind, to Grand Rapids by automobile
While in Paw Paw, Mrs. Pantlind had
the misfortune to lose a valuable sap
phire, diamond and pearl ornament and
a large diamond ring, besides several
hundred dollars in currency. Mr.. Pant
lind was in The True Northerner Office
writing "lost a6." in which he offered
a reward of $500 for the return of the
when Mr.. Marshall entered the office
and stated that be was informed that
the party had lost some jewels and
thought he had found the treasure. He
promptly took the package from his
pocket, and Mr.. Pantlind identified the
same.
No offer of reward had yet been
made public, but Mr.. Pantlind drew a
check for $500 and presented the same
to Mr.. Marshall,
The Jewels were valued at $4,000, and
it would be hard to say who was the
more elated, Mrs. Pantlind to get them
back or Mr.. Marshall to get $500 in cold
cash. The jewels were wrapped in a
piece of tissue paper and carried by the
lady in her inside coat pocket When
removing her sweater, the package fell
from her pocket and was picked up on
the cross walk by Mr.. Marshall on his
way home from the store.
Mr.. Pantlind is the owner OF the
Pantlind hotel and also the Morton
house in Grand Rapids. He is man OF
honor, as his treatment of Mr.. Marshall
amply demonstrates.
Several Paw Paw people have walked
the streets night and day since Jim's
good fortune 10 the hope of finding an.
other treasure, but no great find has
been reported. Those chances come
but once in life time, and then to but
a chosen few.

LADY MACCABEES SWARMED
Local Hive Surprised Mrs. Grace
Bennett Last Saturday Night.
Good Time Reported.

The ladies of the local Maccabee hive
swarmed Saturday night. Arrayed in
robes of spotless white to the number Of
about 30, they surreptitiously sneaked
into the house of Mrs. Grace Bennett
and frightened that lady into state of
helplessness. They had raided the home
of Mrs. Jim Foote on the way and carried
her captive. The object of this band
of night raiders was to surprise these
ladies, who are sisters of the order and
who are soon to move to Kalamazoo.
This band Of witches, gnomes owls, etc,
we're we'll armed with edibles, and after
an impromptu program, the BANG uet
was demolished and good nights were
passed.
