MAKE GRAFT CHARGES.
Engineers Say Bridge Building IL In
fected With Corruption.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 12.-Members
OF the Michigan Engineers society, in
session here, declared at yesterdays
meeting that the construction or
bridges by township officers had ne
come so infected with graft that only
few bridge companies would bid ON
the structures, although they expected
to divide the profits with the highway
commissioners as the price OF secur-
ing the contracts
The statements were made after the
report had been made by the commit
tee on legislation. Among the legis-
lation suggested by the report was
law that would provide for the scr.
vices OF a competent engineer con
nected with the state highway de-
partment. This brought the attack on
the present system.
The engineers elected the following
officers for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Byron r. Parks. Grand Rapids;
vice-presidcnt, J. X. Allen, Ann Ar
Dor; secretary, A. l.. Holmes. Grand
Rapids: treasurer, Dorr Skeels, Grand

As q rule a sufferer from sick head

on. This fact makes il possible TO use
laxative, as soon as the approach OF
an attack is discovered, TO eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent

crate its severity. A new laxative,
PrSKLErs, designed TO be used in con-

affords perfect combination treatment.

BLIND MAN MAKES BIBLE.

Minister Completes Volume In Raised
Letters After Seven Years.
The Rev. D. NJ. Spencer, a blind
minister of Gentry, NO., has complet-
ed, after seven years. work, a Bible
printed with raised letters. Prior to
starting work on the Bible he made a
hymn book Of the same character.
In making his Bible Mr.. Spencer
employed girl to read to him while
he set the type which he had manu-
factured. He did all the work on the
book himself, and it is said to have
cost more than $1,000 for it's manufac-
ture.

Statistics compiled from the records
Of the Washington District supreme
court show that 40 per cent Of all d.

matches, and 80 per cent result from
marriages where one Of the contract
ing parties was under twenty-one
years Of age.
Eighty per cent Of the divorce suits
have been filed by women, and less
than 10 per cent Of the couples who
seek the courts are parents. There is
one divorce suit in the District to every
four marriage licenses.
The figures completely exonerate the

it from an ultra-reliable source.
Fl. S. West of 61S Laporte ave-

west of this city when he suddenly
beheld monster trout tioating
serenely in quiet pool. Quickly
casting his eye over the surround
ing landscape he saw no faint sign
of the existence of fishing tackle.
so he turned up his sleeves and
went after the fish with the tackle
which nature had furnished him.
Somewhat to his surprise Mr.. Trout
made no desperate resistance and
was quickly brought to the surface
and conveyed far into the meadow.
Attached to it's mouth was a hook
and several feet OF leader, which,
becoming entangled in the rocks OF
the pool, had held the trout captive
until Mr.. West rescued it. The

Congressman Taylor Has Matter
Before Congress in Form of an
Urgency Measure

Washington, Aug. LIN order to
ascertain the drouth condition IN
regions where settlers in Colorado
are proving up on their claims, and
to demonstrate the need of includ-
ing Colorado in the bill to permit
leaves of absence to homesteaders,
Representative Taylor today tele-
graphed the land office in Colo
RADIO as follows:
mo part of Colorado is included
in the Warren bill as it passed the
senate, and is now pending before
the public lands committee of the
house, granting leave of absence to
homesteaders on account OF drouth
and consequent failure of crops.
Should l include your land district
as l have an amendment to the
bill, would any homesteaders be
benefited by the provision? Wire
Immediately at my expense"
The reply from Register G. D.
Ford and Receiver Hugh Taylor of
the land office at Denver received
last evening suggested the need OF q
provision in the bill for Colorado.

Jones says, automobiles loaded

purpose of getting samples of In
fected grasshoppers.
1t seems that If the hoppers are
broken open that it will disclose a
worm something like grub which
lives off the hopper and deposits
its eggs. After the hopper dies the
other hoppers eat the dead one S
head and become infected. Mr..
Jones says that it is almost impos-
sible to find a dead grasshopper
with its head on. He says that he
was watching a field of oats in or
der to determine when to cut it so
that it would not be too green and
vet harvest it before the grasshop-
pers took it all. All at once he
noticed that the hoppers had been
inoculated with disease and that
they were dying off so fast that in
few days the field was strewn
with dead and dying hoppers. Now.

is in proper condition to cut with

BOARD TO GET
LEFT ON Cash
Appropriations Being Classified and
Some Will Not BE Paid-De-
fense Fund in Doubt

The state board of immigration is
crippled for year at least. The
dry farming congress may never re-
ceive it's appropriation of $4,000.
The state highway commission will
not receive it's appropriation of
$4,000 this year. The recent geo.
logical survey appropriation OF $780,
900 is in the first class and the
work will be begun Immediately.
The appropriation of $4,000 for
the defense Of the Arkansas waters
against the claims of Kansas Is in
doubt.
The foregoing are the important
decisions reached at the conference
held by the governor, the attorney
general, the state auditor and the
state treasurer at which the appro-
priation acts Of the legislature were
classified.
State Treasurer Kenehan declar-
ed several weeks ago that only part
of the third class appropriations
and none of the fourth and fifth
classes could be paid this year.
Strong efforts were made by boards
and persons interested to have
their appropriations listed in the
first, second and third classes. Some
OF the rulings caused despair at the
state house.
The state board OF immigration
was given an appropriation of $24.-
900, but yesterday the bill was
placed in the fourth class.
