What the Doctor Did.

Gustave Ullyatt has a little daugh-
ter who hasn't been well recently. The
other day physician was called to
the Ullyatt home to see her. He ex-
amined the child with the aid of a
stethoscope. When her father came
home that evening he asked what the
doctor had said
"Nothin'," replied the little girl.
What did he do?" asked Mr.. I'LL
yatt.
"He just telephoned me all over"
was the child's reply-Denver Post.

State and M. C. Reach Settlement.


Following a long conference be-
tween Acknowledgement Bird, special
states counsel, Thomas E. Barkworth,
and Otto Kirchner, Mr.. Bird announced
at noon Saturday that the suits pend
ing between the state and the Michi-
gan Central Railroad Co. are to be
compromised If the auditors consent.
The basis on which the settlement
is made is that the railroads suit for
$G,000,000 and. the states for 81 ,000,-
600 are dropped and the company pays
the state $125,000 for legal expenses.
The cases have been pending in the
courts for years. In 1889 the state
repealed the special charter of the
railroad. In December, 1901, the
Michigan Central instituted suit for
$6000,000 damages against the state
for the repealed charter. Henry Rus
sell. Ashley Pond of Detroit, John G..
Milburn of New York and John G..
Johnson OF Philadelphia represented
the railroad. The case went to the
supreme court twice.
In 1904 the state came back with a
counter-suit for $4,000,000 back taxes
on the grounds that the road had con-
cealed assets. Two years were spent
by state officials in going through the
books OF the company The settle
ment of the suit. If approved by the
auditors will mean the close OF the
biggest damage case that the state
was ever mixed up in

1t is not only from Kentucky, but
from thirty-five to forty different
States that there comes the expression
of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands In Central Canada as a
free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr.. E. X. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, writes to a Canadian Govern
ment Official. and says: II have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
fiattering, but not half what found it.

gary and Edmonton, one mile from

Some of the papers describe the set
Ting of the Canadian West as "be-
pie. The lure of it's golden promises
is creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
of that unsettled territory" This pa
per editorially cautions its readers to
exercise care and thought before NOV
ing to distant country. This would
be wise precaution, and is exactly
what the Canadian officials ask
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Americans
who have made their homes in Can
ada, very few have returned. All are
satisfied.

Frank p. Glazier, II is the sentence
OF this court that you be confined in
the states prison at Jackson for not
more than 10 years nor less than five
years; and it is the recommendation
OF the court that you serve 10 years"
This was the sentence of Frank p
Glazier, as pronounced by Judge
Howard West of the Ingham circuit
court at Mason.
After two years of strenuous legal
warfare, Frank p. Glazier, former
state treasurer, banker and manufac-
turer, bowed to the law he had vio-
lated ir using the funds OF the state
and the deposits of the bank for his
personal ends. Ten years in Jackson
prison was the maximum sentence that
could be imposed. and in passing SEN
tence Judge West scored the prisoner
for his acts.
Glazier stood it well until sentence
was passed, and then wept in the

ately taken from the courthouse to

Cline of Ingham county and another
officer. Glazier walked to the prison
Immediately on arriving at the depot
and was taken to the hall-master's
office.
Warden Wenger gave him his num-

wife the embezzling ex-treasurer was
placed in a cell. Both Glazier and
Mrs. Glazier broke down when the
time came for them to part. They
were given an opportunity to say a
few words, during which time those
present in the room turned their
heads. Mrs. GleZier wept on her hus-
bands shoulder, and Glazier, in tears,
attempted to comfort her.
The parting was declared by the
hardened prison attaches to be the
saddest ever seen at Jackson prison.
There were half a dozen in the room,
including prison employees and news
paper men, and there was not a dry
eye among them. Glazier was given
permission to see the newspaper men,
but he said he had nothing to say.
Mrs. Glazier was taken to the home
of the warden after the parting, and
