From the trend of events in the Dem

Governor Folk of Missouri is relying
on William J. Bryan of Nebraska to
assist him in gaining the Democratic
presidential nomination. Silence and
gumshoe work was never worked to bet
ter advantage than it is being used now
by the adherents of the former COVER
nor who want him to lead the Demo

There were no men in the vicinity, but
the ladies managed to attract the at

GAYNOR IS SHOT
By AN ASSASSIN
Desperate Attempt Made to Kill New
York City's Popular Mayor.
He is Still Alive.

William j Gaynor, mayor of New
York City, was shot in the head and
seriously wounded on Tuesday as he
stood on the promenade deck of the
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse,
by James j. Gallagher, discharged and
disgruntled city employee.
The mayor had embarked for a trip to
Europe aud was receiving the usual
Godspeed from a group of friends when
Gallagher approached to within three
feet of his victim and fired point blank
at his head. The first cartridge missed
fire, which fact probably saved the
mayors life. Backing away slightly in
his excitement, he pulled the trigger
second time and sent a bullet crashing
into the mayors neck below the ear.
Gallagher was almost instantly over.
powered and arrested.
Although at his age, 80 years, such a
wound Is essentially grave, surgeons are
hopeful Of the mayor'e recovery. The
latest reports indicate that unless blood
poisoning sets in the chances for his
complete recovery are exceedingly good
But it was a close call, and he is of
course not out of danger vet.

BAND CONCERT
HUGELY ENJOYED
Music of High Order Listened to
by Large Crowds, Who Ex-
prsss Satisfac ction.

The first band concert Of the season
was held on the old court house lawn
last week Thursday night. Arrange
ments have been made with the local
band assisted by Prof. Chas. Ewers OF
Lawtor to furnish free street concert
every Thursday evening. The music
was of high class, and exceeded all
expectations. The large crowd OF people
from the Village and surrounding coun-
try, who came out to enjoy the music
was more than pleased. The one last
night was also largely attended, and the
series of concerts is now an assured
success
The concerts will not all be heId on
the old court house lawn. The band
will play at different places on main
street, alternating so that no two con-
secutive concerts will be held at the
same place.
This arrangement will give better sat
isfaction to the business intrests of the
village who are paying for the music,
The local band is TO be congratulated
on the quality and quantity of its select
ions and the business places on their
enterprise 10 furnishing pleasure and
enjoyment to the citizen of Paw Paw

SECOND ANNUAL MAPLE

LATE MICHIGAN CROP REPORT
Advance Sheets From Lansing Report
the Estimated Yield as Low Com
pared With Last Year.

The estimated average yeild of nearly
all kinds of crops, as we'll as fruit, is con-
siderably below that OF last year, and IN
fact many of the years previous, accord
ing to reports from the secretary of state
at Lansing. Wheat seems TO have held
its own, however, the average estimate
throughout the state being Is bushels
Corn, rye, oats and potatoes average
from 10 70 % per cent lower than last
year.
In regard to fruit it is stated that
severe frost, ravages of insects and the
extremely dry and hot weather during
the month of July have so injured the
apple crop that this years yeild will be
the lightest iu ten years. The prospect
for an average crop of peaches in the
Michigan fruit belt is 80 per cent, while
one year ago the prospect was II per
cent. AS to grapes, while there are lnany
vineyards that promise a fairly good
crop, the general condition of this fruit
is exceedingly poor.

enjoyable spread.

bill to the Queens taste. Comrade Ed.
Harvey gave a 10 minutes talk in his
inimitable manner, half humorous and
half serious.
The principal address was made by
Mrs q. j c. Woodman. She spoke OF
the brave deeds of the veteran soldiers
and gave them full credit for having
successfully solved the problems of their
day. She dwelt largely, however, on
the problems Of today and tomorrow

izens of the republic would be called
upon to meet Her address was eloquent
and instructive and pleased her hearers
greatly.
The exercises were interspersed with
music by the band and with songs, in

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK SOON
Aug. Is. Will be Introduced in
Small Cities First.

To those who in all parts Of the coun-
try have been wondering when the new
postal savings bank would be opened for
business, it may be good news that it is
expected to have the system in operation
by October 10, or perhaps by November
| at the latest And it will not be the
big cities which will have the first banks
either. They are to be introduced in the
post office of the second and third classes
first. Probably one city in each state
will be designated, at the beginning, as
the location of postals savings bank
The economy Of administration will be
an essential consideration, and the cities
which promise TO be the cheapest in
which to operate the banks will be the
ones chosen. Later, as soon as Congress
makes a more liberal appropriation for
conducting the new banking business
the system will be extended. Meantime
the public is showing considerable inter.
est in the proposed new banks, and many
letters are being received some containing
money, some stamps for deposit One
letter recently received contained a five
cent nickel with which to start deposit
or course deposits are not received in

the new banks would be popular with
! persons who are not solictous about the
amount of interest they will receive.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR KELLEY
To TOUR VAN buren,
DEATH OF LEONARD H. ROWLEE
Heart Trouble, Aggravated by Ac-
cident of a Year Ago.

Leonard L. Rowlee died at his home
in Kalamazoo, last Friday of heart
failure. He has been sufferer from
this difficulty for several years, and
about SIX months ago, was compelled to
resign his position as motornlan on the
M.U. K. Lines of that city
In the spring OF 1909, Mr.. Rowlee
accidently ran over and killed little
Jennie Patrode on the streets of Kala-
mazoo, and although completely exonor-
ated from all blame of the accident, the
affair continually preyeu upon his mind,
and 1t is thought that the cont nual
brooding over the childs death, hastened
his death
Leonorad L. Rowlee was born in Law
ton Mich. March. IA, 1860, and spent all
of his life there until tive years ago,
when he moved to Kalamazoo. The de-
ceased leaves a widow and two sous, two

Mr.. MUSSELMAN
VISITS PAW PAW
Grand Rapids Candidate for Governor
Makes Favorable Impression on
the People of This Section.

Paw Paw was honored last Friday by
visit from Amos S. Musselman Of
Grand Rapids, one of the republican
gubernatorial candidates for governor.
He made an automobile tour of Van
Buren, county on that day, and reached
Paw Paw for dinner. His tour had not
been advertised very extensively and the
crowd that met him, was small compared
to those who have been out to hear the
other candidates for the various offices.
Nevertheless Mr.. Musselman met many
people and went away apparently salts
fed with the trip.
He was introduced in Paw Paw, by
Hon. b. +. Heckert, who stated in part
that under the primary system OF noun
nations, every candidate for offices was
entitled to a hearing. He mentioned the
three candidates for the office of govern
or, and stated that in his opinion, any
one of the three would make a good offic-
ial, and be a credit to the state.
Mr.. Musselman, he said was not a
professional politician, but plain busi-
ness man, and he took great pleasure in
introducing him to the people of Paw

Promises TO Eclipse For
mer Meeting as TO Va
riety and Interest.
Many NOTABLE SPEAKERS HERE
Program Varied and Interesting One.
Only the Best Talent Obtainable
TO be Here.

A glance at the advertisement on page
of the coming Chautauqua meeting
will speedily convince the most skeptIcal
that the assembly this summer
will be one we'll calculated to appeal to
all who are in any way interested 10
listening to high class entertainments.
The management has been peculiar
" fortunate this season in being able
to secure fer their Paw Paw meeting
so large a list of well known lecturers
and entertainers. In also speaks we'll
for Paw Paw people that after a seasons
trial the management has seen fit to
secure for US this talent
The Chautauqua is under the direction
OF the Midland Chautauqua Circuit of
Des Moines, Iowa, who was so favorably
impressed with the reception given their
entertainment last year, that they are
determined this year to give Paw Paw
the best they have.
But few places in Michigan pos
sess the natural advantages required
to conduct successful Chautauqua
assembly, but Paw Paw is especially
favored in this respect. and this fact
will no doubt greatly assist as no more
delightful place could be conceived in
which to listen to the famous musicians
and lecturers of the country.
The program for this year is an
attractive one. Such speakers as W. j.
Bryan, Senator j, P. Doliver, Hon.
Walter NJ. Chandler and Mrs Florence
i. Maybrick are among the best on the
American platform today, while the
Royal Hungarian Orchestra the Mid
land Jubilee Singers, the Imperial Girls
Band and the DeKoven Male Quartette
rank with the best musical organizations
of the country. Besides these are well
known entertainers, as may be seen by
glancing at the program.
There has been great liberality on the
part on the management this year, and
it is now up to the people of this CON-
munity to show their appreciation and
en3eavor to make the Chautauqua a
permanent institution in our midst
The price, considering the quality OF the
entertainments is ridiculously low. Two
dollars buys a season ticket, good for all
sessions. As there are 81 entertainments
this makes the cost OF each entertainment
about six cents. Six cents for the
privilege of enjoying something that
under ordinary circumstances would
cost from fifty cents to one dollar That
the demand for tickets will be great
goes without saying and we predict a
much greater attendance than last year,
although the attendance at that time

assembly, Mr.. IL. r. Shaefer, is busy
these days making arrangements for the
big meeting which begins next week.
He has made tour of the surrounding
country distributing advertising matter
and encouraging outside people to at
tend, which demonstrates that he IS the
right man in the right place.
One of his most unique advertisements
will be to send up nine balloons, three
on Saturday night of this week, three on
Monday night and three on Thursday
night OF next week. Attached to each
balloon will be 40 order for a season
ticket, good for all sessions OF the Chau.
tauqua, which will be duly honored by
Mr.. Shaefer when presented to him by

NEW BAIT IS A SURE WINNER
Moonlight Bait Co. Patents New Weed
less Bait Which is Bound TO
Become PoDuIar

The Moonlight Bait Co. has just re-
ceived notice that a patent on a new
weedess bait for which they applied
last March has been allowed.

been working for nearly year and it is
certainly winner-one which will be-
come popular with all sportsmen. 1t is
composed Of a cluster of of three hooks
covered with yarn, feathers bucktail
connected with the weight by broken
connection, which makes the replacing
of broken hook easy without injuring
the bait. Above the hooks all is cove red
with soft rubber, which is perfect
guard for weeds. The patent is taken
on the connection and rubber guard
The bait will be made In colors and with
a coating Of phosphorescent paint, max
ing it greatly the superior OF the
Moonlight bait which has become so
popular.
This new invention covers a multitude
OF other bats, being at once a bait for
shallow and deep water fishing, which
will probably be sold for 81 90, and
Messrs. II. h. Ball and Arthur Miller,
who compose the firm. are bound to
meet with success.
The company are about to begin the
making of 30, 600 lot and the bait will
be extensively advertised. They are
now getting out a II page colored cata-
logue advertising their bait, rods and
lines and will undoubtedly soon be do
ing a rushing business. rhe past sea-
