MecOsta county, which closed its
saloon record Of unhappy and tragic
memory on the first day Of May of the
present year for period Of twenty e
four months at least, is now sharing
in the comparatively happy change
that has come TO other local option
counties. The Big Rapids Pioneer,
commenting recently on the peace
and Quietness OF the county and its
present freedom from crimes and ar
rests, makes this reference TO the
present situations: "Any one who
thinks local option does not reduce
expenses-at the county jail Will have
a d iiferent opinion after talk with
Sheriff Henderson. lim thinks the
new order is bad for the sherfl's fees,
and that in short time, if the coun-
ty stays dry the supervisors will be
obliged TO place this office on a salary
as the fees will not be sufficiently
large To attract any worthy candidate.
The sheriff is paid So day aud eX-
penses for time actually spent. But
this does not in itself run up into
money very fast. as the sheriff can
have work for only small part of his
time. Where the sheriff made up was
on the board OF prisoners and the fees
connected with making arrests.
Now this is mostly done away with,
ahd only the pay for the actual time
put In counts"

there is competition, and fierce compe-

Havana, Cuba. - The wreck of the

rounding the wreck. The water within
the dam is about IA feet below the har-
Dor at low tide. 1t is the intention to
admit more water more rapidly, SO that
the wreck will be raised to the harbor
level, leaving nothing more to be done
except to break the dam and float OF
the ship.
Water was forced into the dam
through a system of pipes fixed at the
bottom of the dam, the power being

midship section, which had been fur

Many hundreds of visitors thronged'
the dam all day, watching the ref1oat-
ing of the Maine. None of them was
admitted aboard the ship, however, for
fear of accident. Major Ferguson, who
has had charge of the work, has re-
ceived many congratulations on his
success. The ship will remain secured
within the dam until orders are re-
ceived from Washington to float her
out, which can be done within a fort

Bob Dean, Terror of Criminals,
to Be Evangelist.
Arkansas Sheriff Is Determined to
Supervise Execution Of Man Who
Killed Marshal Before He
Takes Up New Work.

st. LOuis.-Bob Dean, known for
years as a bad man. and a dead shot,
who has killed ten men in his time
and has himself been shot thirteen
times, who is acting now as deputy
sheriff of Mississippi county, Arkansas,
L. will soon lay aside his guns, give up
his duties as officer OF the law and 60
forth into Mississippi, his native
county, and preach the gospel of
peace and good will to the rough men
who have known him hitherto only as
a man Ill to trifie with.
This change of life and front Bob
Dean decided on Sunday night, Deem
Der II, at the close Of a three weeks
revival service conducted by Rev.
Chambers Mannering. who converted
Dean early in the meetings. 1t was
during the closing OF the services that
the deputy sheriff arose and said that
he intended to lay down his pistols
and take up the Bible.
There is only one reason. for the
delay. He Is not ready to assume his
role as preacher until he has closed
his career as an officer of the law by
officiating at the hanging OF Henry
Coates. now in Jail at Osceola, Ark,
awaiting execution. Last April Coates
shot and killed Marshal H. l.. Fergus
on of this town. and SO seriously
wounded Bob Dean himself hat he
lay in a Memphis, Tenn, hospital for
three weeks, his life hanging by a
thread. BY a special dispensation of
the governor. at the request Of Sheriff
c. B. Hall, the latter Off will re
linQuish his duty as sheriff on that oc-
casion and allow Bob Dean to do the
hanging of the man who wounded
him.
So soon as his ancient enemy" Is
hanged Dean will take up his ministra-
tions.
Coates was discovered a few miles
from OsceOla In the act of tying up
his boat and taking on a cargo of
whisky. Upon the officers demand to
give himself up Coates had the boat

New Bedford, Mass.-Awakening to
his real identity for the second time in
fourteen years, Chandler Rogers of Sc
attic, Wash, the nan who forgot"
found himself at the Emergency hos
pital here surrounded by a group OF
physicians, who are studying his

Fourteen years ago a man giving his
name as Earl Keller drifted into Sc.

women, one of whom he subsequently
married. Several months g he was
found suffering from pressure of the
brain. Physicians trepanned his skull.
The patient announced after the effect
of the anesthetic had worn of, that
his name was Chandler Rogers and 1t
was found that the previous fourteen
years Of his life was a blank. He
could not even remember that he had
yer been known as Keller.
On December 26 he went to Boston
to visit his sister, Mrs. Florence w.
Walling, whom be had not eel for
fifteen years. A few days ago he
made arrangements to enter the Seidis
institute at Portsmouth, N. H. Later

price of the new books. At the same
time the Alphabet company has GUST

These two deadly rivals here find Il

buy at a good price any copies that

This price may be much larger than
the discount given for the books in
the first place.
But the second hand dealer is net to
be put out of business in this way.
Hundreds Of thousands Of new and
used school books are brought yearly
into Chicago by the five firms en-
gagged here in that form Of trade. They
are acquired from retail dealers whose
market has failed through a new de-
cision of a local school board and
from the smaller publishers who have
taken books on a discount basis and
have no exchange agreement with the
original publishers.

Bundschu was passing a candy store
on West Maple avenue While some
went in and bought candy, Bundschu
stood on the sidewalk near an iron
trolley pole. A sudden impulse seized
the boy to apply his tongue to it.
He tried 1t. His tongue remained
frozen to the iron, and all of his eff
forts to get it loose were fruitless. A
crowd gathered. There were many
suggestions. One man came running
with a bucket Of cold water, which
he said a just the thing; warm wa
ter would never do" Another from
across the street snatched a teakettle
full of boiling water from his stove
and came to the rescue.
Finally F. A. Schweers. proprietor
OF the candy store, arrived with some
lukewarm water which was poured on
gradually, at the junction of the troll
ley pole and the boys tongue. Gradu-
ally the tongue came loose. Then the
boy went to the family physician for
treatment.
