During the month of July the .income derived by the government by
special tax and revenue stamp sales in
Mt. Pleasant was something like $350.
A tramp on a through freigh t threw
a stone and struck . the son of James
Milen of Sears one day this week, hurting him quite badly. Sixteen tramps
who were on the train were-rounded
up at Glare, but the one wanted left
the train at Lake Station and escaped.
•—Bvart Review.
The reunion of the northwestern
soldier's and sailors1 association, which
was held in Glare last September was
voted to be held in St. Louis this year,
but It is reported that St, Louis may
not make an effort to hold the reunion
this fall on account of non being able
to secure the tents from the state,
which are in use at Island Lake by the
soldiers,
A Flint township farmer raised GOO
bushels of wheat this season. One day
the past week he took a load to Flint,,
and was surprised to learn that the
cereal would bring only feed prices,
owing to the presence of smut. He
sowed a greater acreage than usual to
wheat, anticipating a high price and
hoping to pay off the farm indebted-
uess. His experience in marketing
the product is a sore disappointment.
The old saying, "Marriage a failure,"
seems to have been exemplified in
Michigan during 1897. . By the report
given to the secretary of state by the
clerks of the court empowered to grant
diyorces, we find that 1658 divorces
weie granted in the state during the
year. Out of this number, 423 were
granted on application of husbands
and 1233 on account of complaints
made by wives. A large number of
the marriages dissolved were originally contracted in Michigan, 13G0 being
so returned. Of the causes alleged for
divorce were: cruelty, 560; desertion,
504; non-sunport, 211; cruelty and non-
support combined, 184. About one-
half of the couples separated had no
children.
There is a scheme on foQt to construct a bicycle path from the south
line of the state to the straits of Mackinaw. The path as now proposed will
run through Hillsdale, Lansing, St.
Johns, Ithaca, Mb. Pleasant, thence in
a northwesterly direction to Grand
Traverse Bay, and follow the shore of
the lake to the terminus; thereby
striking the famous summer resorts of
northern Michigan and giying wheelmen an elegant route for summer outings, etc.,,, The scheme was originated
by O. W. Krathvvohl, publisher of the
Springport Signal, and he has been
elected secretary of the organization
which has beeu formed to push the
project. It is hoped to have the path
well under way by next July.
Numerous Cheboygan women have a
d.esire to form an agent-extermination
society, if their feelings towards this
class of house-to-honse dealers are any
indication. Like most towns, Cheboygan is inflicted with outside canvassing agents, says the Cheboygan IjJews.
We say inflicted, because the manners
and methods used by some of these
canvassers in carrying on their business have caused a number of our
housewives to utterly detest them and
to set tbeir foot down that they will
never deal with any more Outside
agents. The goods handled by these
canvassers range all the way from fly
traps and cheap dauo chromos to
pianos and organs. Many Cheboygan
women have been subjected to insults,
to say nothing of cheating and lying
chemes, by these brazen-faced gentry,
and in some cases husbands have
sworn yengeance in the way of physical force, if they ever come in contact
with them. The safest rule to follow
is: Bay these goads of your home
dealers, whom you know and can rely
upon, for honest and courteous treatment.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.
Provisions o£ the Law Requiring
to be Voted Upon.
Explicit Information as to Effect of Vot
ing or Refraining From Voting, With
Clear Statement of the Situation
Thereafter.
As many evidently do not understand the result of voting, as-well as
that of not voting, upon the free text
book law, we herewith give a concise
statement which if read carefully will
set anyone right. Section 8 of the new
text law reads as follows?*
"The books which may hereafter be
adopted by the state, of Michigan for
use in its common or primary schools
by virtue of this act, shall be uniformly used in all the common or primary
schools of the state except as hereinafter provided, in teaching- the
branches of learning treated of in such
books, and It shall be the dutv of the
proper school officers and authorities
to use in such schools such books for
teaching the subjects treated in them;
Provided that no school -shall be prohibited from using any supplementary
books; Provided, however, that the
provisions of this act shall not be mandatory on districts that are furnishing
free text books for use in the school or
schools of the district or that may, at
the annual school meeting or at any
special or general election in the years
1897 and 189S, by a majority Vote' of
the qualified electors of said district,
determine to furnish free text books
for use in the school or schools, of the
district, and it shall be the duty of
thesohool board of the seyeral districts that have not previously adopted
free text books to submit the question
of the adoption of free text books to
the electors of the district at any annual school meeting or special Or general election duiing the years 1897 and
1898 under the conditions and provisions of act number 147 of the session
laws of 1889. And provided further,
that the provisions of tbis act shall
not be mandatory on any district
which shall at any annual, special or
general election during the years
1897 and 1898 determine, by a
majority vote of the qualified electors
of said district voting on the subject,
nob to come thereunder.
It will be seen that all districts that
no iv furnish free text- books or that
vote before Jan, 1,1899, to furnish free
text books, do not come under the uniform text book law. Also those districts that vote not to come under the
law are exempt. Districts voting not
to furnish free toxb books and taking
no action on the uniform feature are
to come under the law,
Farmers Can Make Good Roads-,
John GilmerSpeedjWritingon "How
to Have Good Country Roads," in the
August Ladies' Home Journal, pro*
poses "that in each county there be
founded a Road Improvement association, which shall have a one or .two
days' meeting in.the autumn of each
year. To the membership and to the
meetings all the farmers should be invited, while all those in the eounty
acting as road overseers, or road supervisors, should be urged especially to
attend. At these meetings sp.ecial,
definite, practical instruction should
be given in maintaining and repairing
dirt roads. Competent men to give
such instruction can be secured without cast to such societies, for the
United States department of agriculture has a Road Bureau, and this bureau will always supply a competent
instructor to tell the people just exactly what they need, and how to do
the work as it should be done." Mr.
Speed also urges that school children
be interested in the work and taught
the rudiments of road-building and
road-keeping.
Michigan's" Prestige   Recognized,
Representatives of western railroads
are complaining that Michigan people
have no longer the. habit of leaving
their homes here to seek the wonders
of the west. Heretofore they have
sold from 25 to 50 tickets each month,
from division headquarters, to persons
going west. Sow they consider themselves lucky if they can induce people
to go there on free passes.
Residents of Michigan understand
the difference. They have learned a
lesson dearly and are content to enjoy
the nrivileges and blessings of ihc
beautiful, healthful and productive
state c f Michigan—surrounded by the
great lakes and having the advantages
of the finest water way systems and
splendid railroad facilities.
We ar-s proud to note this fact and
with'the return-of prosperity which
has so enlivened business affairs we
are certain that Michigan will more
than ever hold out inducements unsurpassable to the industrious. All
hail to the Wolverine state! There is"
no doubt as to her future as a great
commercial commonwealth.

A citizen of Kharkaff, Russia^ recently purchased a statue of Apollo Belyl-
dere, "which one Of his children booo..-
afterward overturned" and broke. Out.
of the hohow interior rolled a little
bundle, "which, on being opened, was
found to contain Russian bank notes
to the value o£ 3,000 rubies, together
with a declaration of one Chevalier
Ironun Proffherofc, to the effect that,
the money contained in tbo handkerchief was the proceeds of his gambling"
transactions, and was designer! to build
a church. The strip "bore a dato- ia
the jrear 1840. It is supposed, therefore,,
that the owner died suddenly, ana
thus was unable to "caxry out h'is plaust-
design.
