Devil Worship In Tibit.

couragement OF the ascetic life. the
maintenance of virtue. the exhortation

Nirvana.
But In Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on to the earlier devil worship

evolved better expressed as Lamaism.

Complicated Estate Settled.

The estate of Mrs. Marie II. Hal
stead, deceased, widow of the late
William H. Halstead, rural mail car
rier, who was instantly killed at the
Bennington crossing, four miles
south of Owosso, on October 20, last,
when his automobile was struck by
an interurban car, was closed in the
Clinton county probate court Mon
day, bringing to an end one of the
most remarkable legal tanglements
in the history of the county.
Halstead was killed while in SER
| vice. He left house and lot, which
his third wife, Marie Halstead, held
Jointly, and $500 in the bank The
property reverted to the wife but ow-
ing to the law the money in the bank
here could not be given to the wife
without the state first being probat-
ed, regardless of the fact that it was
placed in the name of both Halstead
and his wife.
Through the efforts of Van r.
Pond, the attorney, the Halstead es-
tate received $4,000 from the gov
eminent, that amount being due him
because he was killed while in SER
vice.
Before the estate could be probat-
ed Marie Halstead died, leaving a
daughter, Mrs. F. NJ. Palmer of ST.
Johns, as her sole heir. The daugh-
ter was by former marriage.
Halstead also left two sons and q
daughter by former marriage,
and whom he had not seen in up
wards of thirty years. The three,
Duncan and William Halstead and
Mrs. Minnie McGrath, with Mrs. Pal
mer, received the state, comprising
about $4,000. The peculiar part of
the situation is that the money will
go to Halstead's children, whom he
had not seen in years, and to
daughter Of his third wife.

Candidate for the Republican Nomi.
nation for United States Sena-
ator August 10Th.

William II. Hill, of Detroit, who
has tossed his hat into the ring for
the nomination for United States
Senator from Michigan on the Re-
| publican ticket, has a political mes
sage for the people that it would be
well to heed.
Mr.. Hills long experience in the
administration of large business at
fairs has given him new conception
OF the viewpoint and the duties OF
office.
A close study of government af-
but one course to pursue in a Fed
cral Office. That is, to base every act
on the fact that running govern
ment is business proposition for
business men of experience and judg-
ment.
He believes that the government of
the United States should be regarded
as great corporation in which the
l00,000,000 people of this country are
the stockholders; and that the Senate
and the House of Representatives con-
stitute the Board of Directors" of
this corporation.
He believes that the members of
the board" should represent all the
people all the time and not favored
few; and that the people should al
ways be able to tell where their "di-
rectors" stand.
He asked: "Have the people OF
Michigan, the past few years, been
able to tell where their senators stood,
or where to find them?"
Mr.. Hill is well fitted for the Office
he seeks and to realize his conception
of its duties. Years Of arduous train
ing in the business world, wide travel
in this and foreign countries and close
study of history and government have
given him exceptional equipment for
the task. Thirty-onc years OF his life
have been spent in Detroit where he
is successful manufacturing drug
gist, conducting one of the largest
concerns of its kind in the country.
A Good Platform to Stand Onto
Act On.
Here arc the all-inclusivc and pro-
gressive principles on which William
II. Hill is basing his campaign.
1000 Americanism and national Sc
curity.
Improvement Of labor conditions.
Protection OF women and children.
Conservation of national resources.
A stable foundation for honorable
enterprise.
Rescuing commerce from unccr-
tainty.
Establishing a non-partisan tariff
commission whose work shall be con-
Quoted on scientific and efficient lines.
Mr.. Hill urges you to come out at
the primaries August 10Th. 1t is only
by exercising your privileges at tho
Primaries that you can secure a new
deal. Put an X before the name OF
William II. Hill August 10Th.

The w. r. c. of Owosso kindly
entertained them with a short pro-
gram:
President Of the corps Mrs. Wiley
gave a brief talk and read beauti-
full poem.
A recitation by Mrs. Kenyon was
we'll rendered.
Mrs. Watson of Lansing read some
letters which were written by her
husband fifty-five years ago when in
the army, which were listened to with
interest by the comrades and took
them back to the days of the war.
Comrade Watson of the Owosso
post was requested to read the letters
of regret from the absent mem Sers,
which were especially touching on
the death of the comrades of the last
year. He then made few kind re-
marks of the two he had been so in
timately associated with in his own
post.
Mrs. Smith read an account of the
reunion held in Elsie twenty-one
years age, when there were thirty-siX
rode from the depot through the
town.
A hard but brief shower greeted
the, veterans. The band and many
on foot sought shelter and
the procession stopped, but the old
soldiers held to the center of the
street as they had marched many
miles in torrents of rain long years
ago. They believed the rain had been
sent to make the march seem more
real to them, but it soon cleared
away and they proceeded on their
march.
Mr.. and Mrs. Orrin Jennings IA
vored the comrades with two beauti-
full selections. A vote Of thanks was
given them, also the Post and Corps
for their goodly attendance and help
IN every way.
The meeting then adjourned and
he goodbyes were spoken once more
and another Co. ID reunion has gone |

Oiivst College Notes.

The improvements at Olivet College
are proceeding steadily. The frame of
the addition to the Presidents house is
already up, and the library has been
connected up with the village water
system preparatory to the installation
OF plumbing in the basement and a
drinking fountain on the main floor.
The work on the list of graduates and
old students OF the college is nearly
completed. and some interesting facts
are being discovered. Since being chart.
cred in 1859, Olivet has graduated from
its four years courses 1907 students. In
addition to thesel about 1000 students
have received instruction in the college
Contrary to the conditions existing in
most high schools, the men graduates
exceed the women by II. Of the the 495
women graduates $50 have married. and
only one divorce is recorded among
these marriages. About 10 per cent of
the graduates are in religious work, 10
per cent in various kinds of business
and $50 or 35 per cent in educational
work. 95 or / less than 10 per cent are
deceased.

CHAPTER XVIII.
"Say 'Sandry'!"

Calmly Poppy Ordway took charge
Of the stricken man in the pine Of
fee. All of the day and as much Of
the night as her strength would per-
NIT she was beside him, soothing his
restlessness, tending him with q
skill that showed intelligent training
Outwardly she was as quiet as the
spring days. Inwardly she painted and
suffered with the abandon of the pas
sionate nature which sees it's desires
in danger More and more she grew
to fear and hate the silent, soft-footed
girl whose face between it's dark
braids was mask of tragedy. With
her womans instinct and her almost
unnatural cleverness she knew that
way lay danger. Seltishly, in self
conferred passion, this woman loved,
and to gain the object of that love she
felt within her heart that she could
wreck the universe. And its object
was in twofold danger-from Sandry's
death and from Siletz.
Therefore she began to watch Siletz
with catlike glances from under her
lashes. and to think with all her brill
liant brain of some way to eliminate
