MRS. GRACE ON STAND
SAYS HUSBAND WAS
SHOT IN A SCUFFLE
wife, was called to the stand.
Would Show Case Rotten.


Attorney Branch then addressed
the jury, outlining the defenses case.
He said that they expected TO show
thai ''every fiber OF the states case
was rotten
The states theory that Grace was
shot during the night or early in the
morning is utterly untrue. We will
prove that he was shot after II O'Clock
in the morning and that he was not
doped when shot. We will ro thar
he got up that morning and wrote a
check and that he talked over the
telephone as late as 10 o'clock
'It was ridiculous to say that Mrs.
Grace married Grace and tried to get
rid of him for his money. She had
given him between $4,000 and 500 900
in year, and he was going to Phila-
delphia to sell her property to get
money for himself when the shooting
occurred.
Didn't Want Disgrace.
I'VE are going to show the whole
miserable facts. The truth is that
Grace wanted to get his wife out of
town first. Mrs. Grace suspected that
he had an engagement with another
woman. She accused him of it and
said she was going to take the power

with her to keep from taking the doc

Grace began swearing at her. and
threatened to kill her, grabbing up
his revolver. Mrs. Grace grabbed his
hand in an effort to protect herself.
In the scuffle the revolver was dis
charged and Grace was shot. Grace
did not think he was badly hurt and
made his wife leave the house with
out calling a physician He said he
was afraid of the disgrace that would
follow if it came out that he had
been hit in 'nigger row with his
wife. So he made his wife pre- mise
that she would say nothing about the
trouble.

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.

From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary ex
penses Of the federal government in
creased at the rate OF about per cent
q year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased ahout 4 peI
cent year. Under the presidency OF
Mr.. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost 6 per cent Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase
which has so long seerned inevitatl lie,
but has actually brought about a de.
crease. Under Mr.. Roosevelt the or.
binary annual expenses of the eov.
eminent grew from about s471 600 600
TO sGf2 100000, an increase of $751;.
100000 in seven years. Mr. Taft has
reduced them from 1862, 100000 to
1904 .0C0 600.
We talk lot about economy In pub.
lie affairs. Isn't ii worth while to
stop q moment and give credit to a
president who has actually done what
We have all been saying ought to be
done?

Albert G. Bedford To Leave Ionia

The announcement in The Sentinel
| last week that A. q. Bedford has decid-
ed TO close out his business and remove
from Ionia will no doubt be something
Of surprise TO the people of Ionia
| county. Bedford's has been a land
mark in Ionia for forty-five years.
The business was originally established
during the old lumber day of 1867 by
Allison Il Bedford. Later Mr.. Allison
withdrew and Mr.. Bedford's father,
r. III. Bedford, continued alone for a
number of years.
Both Allison and Bedford were well
known men Of the highest integrity
and very con servative and while the
stock carried and volume of business
were not as large in those days as has
since been developed, still 1t was al
ways the most prominent jewellery
store of this section. For the last
seventeen years A. q. Bedford has been
one OF the most industrious and enter
prising merchants of the street. His
new corner store compares favorably in
attractiveness anu volume of business
with cities several times larger than
Ionia.
Mr.. Bedford has made no plans for
the future beyond taking good vaca-
ton after his business is closed out.
He offers his stock and fixtures for sale
i'm one lot at substantial reduction.
He starts in this week with "going-
out-of-business" sale. Everything will
be sold at sacrifice and no reasonable
offer refused for the whole or any part
OF the stock. IL is expected that the
stock will he entirely closed out before
the first of next January.

Kindness is moral attribute which
prevents people from littering up the
family door step with many blue oaths
and other rancid forms of speech which
some people have.
Kindness has become habit with
some; they would rather nurse a sick
person than to hear Queen Esther sing.
III it were not for kindness many a per-
secuted husband would be going
around with solemn look and set OF
bright new pumps.
Kindness is not expensive TO operate
but it costs good deal sometimes to
cultivate il. 1t is one of the most
moral, cheerful tunes ever written and
is frequently accompanied by gray
hairs and bent back and weary
smile. This is the mother kind of
kindness and it has all the other
brands backed out OF the race.
Kind people are frequently run over
by people who think they are smart
and yet could not tell the milk of
human kindness from apple vinegar.
Than there are others who accept all
kindness and six o'clock dinners and
yet would not donate one cent to a
church supper. Than, again some
relatives are always kind when they
hear the last will and testament read
and know they are remembered in the
will. have always been suspicious of
that sort of kindness as il is hard TO
know just what they mean. They can
change front with relative as often as
a federal officeholder can change his
politics.
Kindness has done great work
changing itself from kicking horse
with nailed boots, beating pupils into
state of quietude and subduing bus
bands temper with the potato masher,
and pushing his wife down a flight of
stairs in orders TO prove that man is
superior being.
Few people are kind enough 10 give
them acte pain. Any favors bestowed
cry dog, soon forgotten, but there is
more kindness now than ever before.
When kind man dies people forget
that he ever soaked them and only
remember the time when he dubbed
man for clubbing his horse with an
empty Manager. Many man who
knew but little about theology has won
passport to heaven by the preacher
for his kindness. The memory Of kind
ness by some people is shorter than a
borrowed pencil. This is all have TO
say about Kindness.

DEMAND FOR LABOR
Unprecedented Prosperity In the

Progressives in Convention

There was less than dozen delegates

Convention held in Ionia last week
for the purpose IF electing delegates to

square deal. Chas. Killing was elected
secretary OF the meeting and after the
reports of the committees the selection
of the delegates was undertaken.

The Difference.

From the Belvidere CHI Republi
can:
The difference between the Roose-
welt and Taft administration is that
Mr.. Roosevelt talked loudly against
those whom he called "malefactors,
and secretly protected some OF them
from the law, while Mr.. Taft has made
no threats, but has just enforced the
laws.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
Sir A recent press article an
nounced that Delaware Hospital man
ayers VIII conduct a whiIlwind cam
paign for the next few days in an
effort to raise 100000 for the extern
sion Of that institution. Allow me
as oDs physician to offer its sub
scribers one suggestion regarding
their donation to the fund, viz:
That they require Delaware Hospital
to open its doors to every reputable
old school physician of Wilmington,
that he may better his qualification as
a practitioner in this community. At
present 20 per cent. Of the old school
physicians of Wilmington have access
to its privileges due to a remarkable
system inaugaurated there at its in
ception and that 80 per cent. are
ignored in their desire to obtain hos
pital experience We stand like
slaves in the cos. clamoring for more
knowledge and experience And how
strange it seems that a similar in
sutution does not welcome practI-
TONERS of the same school.
When Delaware Hospital opened
many years ago, the fathers Of the
sons now on its staff were in control.
Under present conditions the grand
SONS OF those fathers will constitute
the medical staff of Delaware Hos
pital. Reader, do you realize the
condition that it has placed on the
medical reputation of the general
practitioner? Simply this: The stand
ard of qualification among old school
MI %
We are not equal in ability or reputa-
ton as skillful operators that existed
among the physicians in the time OF
Kane, Jones, Grimshaw and Askew
Plainly speaking, we have no repu1a-
ton. viii any one deny that to be
abreast of the times. a physician must
have hospital experience?
II he is inclined to be a diagncsti-
clan. If he is desirious of beconins
capable surgeon; should he wish tc
take up medical research; what are
his opportunities in Delaware. The
only hospital of his kind is closed
against him. Hence the low standard
You never hear of a Wilmington ply
sician being called as consultant
You never read of the skilled special
ist coming from our city. II Is
simply question of justice, and as
one speaking for the future genera
ton of old school physicians, that
desire to acquaint the benefcen
friends Of the hospital fund that sucl
a condition exists, and that their gif
shall be conditional with the hospta
