CHILDREN shot
BY BROTHER
Twelve Year Old Uses Rifle,
Sending Ball Through His
Brother and Sister.

Velle Jacobs twelve year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper Jacobs, Bohemians
living in New Haven township picked
up a rifle, Sunday, and pointing 1t at
his eight year old brother and six.
months old sister sitting on his lap
said, "You are no good, ! am going to
kill you" pulled the trigger sending q
ball through the boys left shoulder,
tearing the ligaments and muscles, shat
tering the bone 30 that he will probably
never have full use of his arm, and con.
tinuing struck the baby side exposing
the ribs, ticking part of the child's
thumb and finally embedded itself in
the wall. The faces of the children
were scorched with powder The
children were brought to the Swsyze
hospital in Owosso Monday and after
several days of doubt the children are
considered out of danger of blood
poisoning.
The boy ran away after the shooting
but was brought back home and ap-
parently is unable to realize the serious
ness of his offense. He has always
been hard to manage, has run away
several times, made trouble for his
father and the neighbors and will
probably be sent to the Industrial
school for proper care and handling.
One or two fires have been attributed
to the youngster and money and articles
that appeal to him have been taken at
various times. No complaint was made
to the authorities and the boy went to
work in the beet fields as usual after
the shooting.
The family lives in one room, poorly
furnished, and neighbors have dressed
the children and taken things to make
the home more comfortable.

Will Fight 2-Cent Rate.

The Ann Arbor railroad is TO contest
the constitutionality of the Q cent fare
law as applied to that road in Michi-
gan, basing Its action on the decision
Of the United States Supreme Court in
the Minnesota Rate Case, which de-
clared that while state has the con.
stitutional right to fix passenger rates,
these rates will not necessarily be
binding on any company which can
prove that at such rates it cannot earn
enough to pay running expenses and
for maintenance, and to pay reas-
enable return on the investment.
The companys officials have the
figures to prove that the 2.cent rate as
applied to the Ann Arbor is confsca-
tory. The company is fortunate in one
particular as it covers a territory in
which IL has little direct competition
In most instances railroad seeking
relief from the low rate is unable to
take advantage of the decision because
of the competition of stronger roads in
its territory. Michigan Investor.

Changes in Carriers Routes.

Plans for a change in the several city
carrier routes have been completed and
the same will go into effect within q
few days. The present routes were
found to be unequal and two of the
carriers in the residence districts were
unable to give complete deliveries
daily. Under the new plan it is thought
this will be remedied and that the ser
vice will give better satisfaction. A
large map of the city N ounted with
wood backing, showing the outline of
the several routes also the location of
street letter and packages boxes, now
hangs in the post Office work room, the
boxes being designated by colored tacks
while small tacks and colored twine are
used to show the routes.

New Law on Sale of School Books.


The new school text book law passed
by the recent state Legislature will go
into effect August IA 1t is a direct
squeeze" on the retail dealer rather
than a regulation on the publishers.
1t appears that books may be handled
in three ways. First, the retail dealer
may purchase from the publishers,
using his own money therefor, and sell
the books at Is per cent advance above
the wholesale price. Second, school
boards may purchase the books from
the publishers at the net wholesale
price, using the district none, therefor
and may furnish the text books to
pupils at actual cost. Third, then board
may buy the books from the pSblf.s ing
houses at the wholesale price, using he
district money therefor, and appoint q
retail dealer as the agent of the district.
The agent may sell these books at ten
per cent advance on the wholesale price
aud receive this ten per cent as COM
pensation. Where the dealer orders
direct from the publishers, he may
make 10 per cent on the wholesale price
paying the transportation charges him
self.
When school boards or boards of edu-
cation buy the books from the pub
fishers, using the district money there
for, they may place them in the hands
of some dealer designated as agent by
the board. The agents, however, are
prohibited from selling the textbooks
at price exceeding ten per cent ad-
vance on the net wholesale price listed
with the state superintendent of public
instruction. Under this plan the trans
portation and handling charges on the
books may. be paid from the general
fund of the district or may be deducted
from the fee allowed the agent.
