for Grating Renominated.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 30.-The re-
turns were not complete Wednesday,
but unless Fred Q. Martindale of De-
troit, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, gets much bigger majority in
the upper peninsula than the present
returns indicate for him, his Grand
Rapids rival, Amos Musselman, has
landed the Republican nomination.
Mr.. Martindale beat Musselman in
Detroit by about three to one, but the
lower peninsula rolled up margin
of nearly ten thousand. Musselman's
victory is ProhAbitionist victory,
he having appealed to the dry" ele-
ment and the saloon interests backing
Martindale.
Nine of the aldermen arrested for
grating were renominated through
the strength Of their political ma
chimes, among them Tom Gilman, the
chief boodler. Prosecutor Shepard
was renominated by an overwhelming
majority.

Then the mother tainted and the

The youth was standing near the

The balloonist, Abner Amsbill, Of

the lad to the trapeze upon which he

Closer and closer the little form
