engines, part of an extra freight on
the Pere Marquette railroad from
Grand Rapids to Saginaw, went into
a ditch near Cedar Lake, three miles
east of Edmore Sunday night, caus-
ing five deaths and blocking traffic
for over twenty-four hours.
1t was not known by the train crew
that the men killed were on the train
and none of them have been indenti-
fed as yet.
The ground near where the wreck
took place is mucky, and some of the
cars were almost buried. In the
wreck were six cars OF gasoline and
one Of explosives. The car of explo-
sives was demolished. but did not ex-
plode.
The wreck was caused by spread.
ing rails il is said.

large addition to his cheese factory
al Elwell, and in this addition will be
located the machinery for pasturiz-
ing milk, for which he expects to find
ready market in Alma.
The machinery needed is now being
installed. Mr.. Colister had expected

first of September, but some Of the
machinery did not arrive in time, and
some Of it has not arrived yet. 1t is
expected any time and as sosn as il
arrives and is installed the pasturiz-
ing Of milk viii be started.
The health department under the
leadership of DR.. I. J. Carney, has
been trying for nearly year and a
half to get pasturizing plant for this
city, but for months the efforts seem
ingly brought no results. DR.. Carney
continued to work on the matter, anc
was in touch with number Of men
in regard to the work for some time
MIR. Colister was one of those inter
ested. and when convinced that il was
a good thing, he got busy, with the
result that the board of health has
come through with what it wanted
and Alma will have pasturized milk
within the next few weeks.

GEN. FUNSTON DEAD; CAPITAL
 IS S0RROWFUL

Washington, Feb. 20-President Wilson and other high officials, as well as army officers generally, ex- pressed deep regret today over the sudden death of Major Gen. Frederick Funston in San Antonio last night. Many of them sent messages of con- dolence to Mrs. Frederick Funston, now visiting in San Francisco.
 War department officials and army officers stood ready today to assist in bestowing the highest military honors at the burial of Gen. Funston which will take place in the national ceme- tery at the Presidio, San Francisco, next Saturday or Sunday. It is be- lieved that Secretary of War Baker may send a personal representative to attend the funeral.
 The death of Gen. Funston removes one of the most picturesque characters from the United States army, whose record included the capture of Aguin- aldo, the Filipino rebel chief, com mand of the force that seized Vera Cruz and direction of the Mexican border moveme nts.
 Mai Gen. Pershing, who command ed the column just withdrawn frorn Mexico, succeeds Gen. Funston tenn porarily as commander of the south ern department.
