Death of Ezra Mason. LTbe death of Ezra Mason occurred yesterday atll a. m. at his home in Owosso township. Mr. Mason had been sick for two months past with stomach trouble, possibly a cancer, but It was not supposed by any one that he was so near death's door. He had had the Bame trouble be fore and apparently had almost entirely recov ered his usual vigorous health. The news of his death will be a shock to his host of friends in Shiawassee county. Mr. Mason was born in Owosso township Nov. 0, 1839, being the first white child born in the township. His early years were spent on the farm, afterwards studying civil engineering at the Michigan University. In township affairs he was recognized as a leader to bo implicitly trusted, having repeatedly filled various posi tions of trust, only last spring being elected as justice and a member of the board of review. The people of the county repeatedly honored him with an election as county surveyor, which office he hold at the timo of his death. He served as county treasurer from 1887 to 1890. The success of the Shiawassee Mutual Fire In surance Co. was largely the result of his untir ing efforts for years In tho office of secretary and later as auditor. The company never had more faithful official or truer friend. His counsel will be missed at Its meetings. Mr. Mason was interested in everything pertaining to the publio welfare; his word as good as his bond; his work as an official above criticism. Such a man as Ezra Mason will be missed by any community a sturdy pioneer, true citizen, a kind husband, father and neighbor. He Is survived by his wife, three sons, George D of Corunna, Edward L., superintendent of schools at Clinton, Iowa, and Fred, J who resided at home, his brothers, Geo. T. Mason, county drain commissioner, and Wm. II. Mason, of this city. The funeral will b held Sunday after noon at 2 o'clock at the family residence. Iowa Ihii-h tli Cigarette. Des Moines, la., May 3. The house rejected Hays' license proposition and adopted the Phelps anti-cigarette law absolutely prohibiting the pale, with the addition of a $300 mulct tax on retail dealers in cigarettes! The legislature has petitioned congress for a law placing cigarettes under police regulations, which would make the Phelps law op erative. The appointment of the house members of a conference committee on the Temple amendment indicates that the old law will be retained and the Burling ton Relief association remain undis turbed.

SPAULDING IS POPULAR Experience Makes Him Familiar with His Work. SOMETHING ABOUT MR. THURBER, lie Entered Waahlngton as a Country Boy from Michigan and Left with the Good WUhea and lteipect ot All Who Ilecawe Acquainted with Him Professor Har- rlngtou an Applicant for Ilelnstatemen Jeba for Michigan People. Washington, May 4. General O. L Bpaulding, assistant secretary of the treasury, is one of the most popular Wolverines In the national capital. Dur lng the past week, while the secretary of the treasury was In New 'Tork, Gen eral Spaulding has been acting secre tary of the treasury. Ills experience In the position of assistant secretary dur ing the Harrison administration made him perfectly familiar with the depart mental work. He is as competent to act as secretary of the treasury aa the man upon whom has been conferred the cab ii.et position. Secretary Gage has wealth and a political pull, but General Spauld lng was appointed primarily because of his ability and experience. John Addison Porter, secretary to the president, although a new man In the business of dealing with public men and affairs, is filling his high office in a cred ltable manner. Isecause he Is a news paper man, he has been very well treated by the newspaper men of Wash Ington. He Is doing no better, however. than Henry T. Thurber did at the be ginning of the second Cleveland admin istration. Country Hoy from Michigan. Mr. Thurber was raised in the little town of Monroe, and, barring hla few years' experience at Detroit, was pro vlnclal In his political knowledge. He came to Washington, practically, as country boy from Michigan. Several Btnart newspaper correspondents pro ceeded to make fun of him. He en dured their gibes and quips without a tremor. When he left Washington last March he carried with him the good wishes and respect of all who had be come acquainted with him; because they had learned to appreciate the high pur pose and noble qualities of the Mlchl gan man who had successfully and hon orably filled a confidential position close to the president of the United States for four years without making a single mistake of moment, and without be traying a single trust. This little trib ute to Thurber, who is a Democrat, comes from a writer who, for several years, represented the Detroit Tribune In Washington, before that paper be came a political traitor to the party which created and nurtured It. Applicant for Kelnstatement. professor Mark w. Harrington, a good man who was dismissed from the chiefshlp of the weather bureau twenty months ago because he was charged with having failed to discharge his du ties properly, Is an applicant for rein statement. After being removed from the weather bureau Professor Harrlng ton was appointed professor In charge of the University of Washington at Se attle. Two weeks ago he resigned that position and is now In Washington to make an effort to succeed Professor Willis L. Moore, the present chief of the weather bureau. Harrington's friends are on the ground and are quietly working In his Interest. Mrs. Harrington arrived In Washington two weeks ago, and has been an active worker In her husband's behalf. She has, it is said, seen various senators and representatives, and has also paid a per sonal visit to Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department, with whom she earnestly pleaded in her husband's behalf. Secretary Wilson Is favorable to the retention of Professor Willis Moore. Thomas L. Wallin, of the Wallin Leather company, and wife are here on their return from Thomasville, Oa and Pensacola, Fla. Will I'leae Clgnruinkers. The cigarmakers and manufacturers of Michigan who have been petitioning the senators to have Havana fillers and Sumatra wrappers placed upon the free list in the pending tariff bill will be pleased to learn that Senator Burrows has become a warm champion of their Interests. .He has already appeared be fore the senate committee on finance and made an argument in behalf of this large class of union workmen in the state. The Michigan representatives In con gress are being flooded with requests for sugar beet seed. A gentlemin from the southern portion of the staV: writes his representative that he has found at least forty farmers that are anxious to experiment with sugar beet, and has requested the congressman to send him seed enough from the agricultural de partment to plant at least one acre of ground for each farmer. The agricul tural department has exhausted Its small supply, and the members of the Michigan delegation are obliged to In form their constituents that they can not meet their requests. A new document has been published by the agricultural department known a? the Farmers' Bulletin No. 52. It gives facts and figures concerning the culture, seed development, manufacture and statistics of the sugar beet. This can be had on application to any mem ber of congress from Michigan. Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger, Senator Burrows, and Congressman Crump and wife were among the Mich igan people who went to New York to attend the Grant dedication exercises. Senator Burrows was a member of the senate committee of fifteen appointed by that body to represent the legislative branch of the government In the cere monies. (load Thing for Michigan People. Some of the good things that have fallen to Michigan people during the past week are the. following: Burton Farker of Monroe ha.-j been named for his old position as special agent for the treasury, department. James Wheeler of Detroit has been reinstated In his old position of secret agent for the treasury department. M. A. Watson of Flint, an old sailor who was discharged from the pension office under the last administra tion, has been reinstated. K. O. Shaw of Newago has been appointed postmas ter of that city. M. M. Callahan was appointed postmaster at Heed City; Miss Jennie Andrews of Kalamazoo was promoted to the $1,200 class In the office cf the secretary of war, and John Shaw i of Big Rapids wa appointed assistant la the office of Genera A. W. Greely, librarian of the war department. Congressmen Hamilton, Samuel Smith and Crump are the only members of the Michigan delegation now in the city. The others are expected to return and place their names on record when the Dlngley bill goes back to the house. Among the Michigan visitors in Wash Ington during the past week were Col onel John J. Sumner of the Orchard Lake Military academy; Colonel Frank J. Ilecker and James C. Wheeler of De troit; E. L. Walters of Ann Arbor; H. C. Howard of Kalamazoo; M. L. Fitch of Grand Rapids; Hon. Mark Brewer of Pontlac; Hon. A. O. Wheeler of Man istee; George W. Robinson, and F. II. Harvey of Detroit, and Hon. Henry M. Lour of Au Sable. A new postofflce has been established at Toklo, Calhoun county, and Miss Carrie I. Otts is the first postmistress. Ohio Colony To Be Increased. There are two more Ohio men slated for good positions here In Washington. There are a good many candidates for solicitor general, but the place has been offered to ex-Attorney General Richards of Ohio, who is an intimate friend of the president. The position of solicitor for the state department has also been promised to an Ohio man. This lucky Buckeye Is Harry M. Daugherty of Washington Court House. Mr. Daugherty is one of the Ohio Republicans who have man aged to keep on excellent terms with both factions In Ohio. He was an en thusiastic McKlnley man in the cam paign of 1891, when the major was first elected governor, and was a member of the legislature elected that year. In the contest between Sherman and Foraker for the senate Mr. Daugher ty's support was sought for by both sides, and there was much speculation as to which camp would enroll him. On the test vote for speaker he voted with the Foraker men, and was set down as favorable to Foraker's election to the senate, but In the senatorial cau cus he voted for Sherman. He has since been looked upon as a follower of Sherman and Hanna, and Is to be solicitor for the state department if he cares to leave his law practice In Ohio and Join the Ohio colony in Wash ington. Delay on the Tariff 1)111. There Is little prospect for the presen tation of the tariff bill In the senate for some days yet. The members of the finance committee held a lengthy ses sion and talked over the proposition of the Republicans that the bill be per mitted to go Into the senate at once. It Is understood that they got very lit tle encouragement from the Democratic members of the committee. It is not surprising that this was the fact, if the reports of what occurred In side the committee room are accurate. It Is stated that the Republicans were almost as reticent with the Democratic members of the committee about the work they had done and the changes made In the bill as they have been with the other members of the senate, or with the public generally. In view of this the Democratic mem bers quite naturally declined the propo sition to permit the bill to be reported to the senate at once. They Indicated, on the contrary, that they desired to pretty thoroughly examine it not only themselves, but with the aid of experts. and that they should lnsfst upon all the time that they might feel they ought to have, whether this should be one week or three. This evidently means that the bill will not get into the senate before the end of the first week in May, or per haps the middle of the month. (Mo Senatorial Sltnxtion. Th present condition of the senate adds greatly to the Interest felt in the coming election of a legislature in Ohio, which legislature is to elect a senator to fill the seat now held by appointment by Mr. Hann. Should the senate remain evenly di vided, as it now is, the result in Ohio would determine whether or not the Re publican president, chosen from that state, is to have a Republican or a Democratic senate to uphold or oppose him. This renders the situation there an extremely interesting one. In case of the election of a Democrat ic legislature and a Democratic senator to succeed Mr. Hanna. nothing could prevent the senate being Democratic, or at least anti-Republican, for tho next two years, while with Republican in that seat the members of that party might expect to control that l)dy. The election of Senator Deboe and his prospective assignment to committee duty will not make any change in the slate made up by the caucus commit tees on the assignment of committee places. They had calculated upon a Repub lican senator from Kentucky and re served certain of the committee posi tions to which he could be assigned If the result which has been attained should be realized. Nelson's Ttaiikruptry Hill. The success of Senator Knute Nelson in substituting his bankruptcy bill for the one before the senate and then se curing its passage was a feature of the legislation of the present session. It was a decided victory for the Scandi navian senator, and as unexpected as It was thorough and corriplete. During the long discussion of the bankruptcy measure Senator Nelson has grown vis ibly in the estimation of his colleagues as a sound lawyer and strong fighter. The whole question of the bankruptcy legislation has been an apparently In terminable and insoluble controversy for several years. Judge Torrey has given the subject of bankruptcy the most careful attention, and has for sev eral years devoted himself ardently to the effort to pass a complete bill on the subject drafted by himself and advocat ed with great persistence. The Tor rey bill was an involuntary bankruptcy measure. The xselson substitute, which ow goes to the house, provides instead for voluntary bankruptcy, the only ex ceptions being In cases where fraudu lent transfers of property have been made by debtors. The house havlnrr al ready In a previous congress passed an Involuntry bankruptcy law, it seems proper that the Nelson bill, or a reason able modification of it which preserves the voluntary features, can become a law at the present congress. This Is a consummation that Is earnestly wished by many commercial Institutions and business houses throughout the country. In the east a strongly involuntary law would have been more acceptable to redltors, while In the western states the. Nelon bill will bo more generally satisfactory DUNBAR. Speaks of the Benefits Received from the use of Pink Pills for Pale People. A Host of Others also Testify to the Good Results Derived from the Use of this MedicineDrug gists Tell of their Large Sale. From the State Republican, Laming, Mich. We are very much pleased to give to our readers to-day the reNiilts of (several inter views with citizens of Lansing as to the merits of theever popular I'iuk Tills. When this preparation first became known to this part of the Htate it attracted immediate at tention owing to the quaintness of the name Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The name signified in a measure the pur pose for which the pills were intended. Since their introduction probably no other medi cine has equalled it in extent of sales. Why is this so? Is the popularity of Pink Pills due to the name? Yes and no. The indi viduality of the name doubtless hastened their introduction, but their fume is due only to their great merits. It was a surprise to your reporter to find so many people ready to- talk for them ; and if any reader will take trouble to inquire, he will be sur prised t learn how many of his friends have taken and are taking the deservedly popular medicine. The first gentleman interviewed was the Ex-Auditor tieneral of the State, Geo. W. Stone, Esq., of Lansing, who spoke as follows: " I have used Williams' Pink Pills now for a period of about four years, beginning when I was Auditor General. Whenever I am nervous or rurt down, as I am occasion ally from- business worry and overwork, I have taken them and I have never been able to find anything so good, although I have tried' everything, including strychnine, iron and quinine and other remedies.'' Several druggists were interviewed and spoke as follows : " Williams' Pink Pills are the best selling pill in the market. We sell more of them than of any other pill." C. Alndorf & So, Wholesale and Uetufl Druggists. 'Williams' Pink Pills are good sellers and give satisfaction." Gardner !fc Robertson, Druu'ists, North Lansing. "We sell Williams' Pink Pills to a great many of our customers and they come hack for more." F. J. Wiu.tamh A Co., Drnereists. 'We sell lots of Williams' Pink Pills and people who buy them eome Imck for more. They must be giving sotfcfuotion." JIeduks it GmsoN, Inig'n'sts, North Lnnsin?.

Lansimj. who, a his many friends know, was a panilytwr fr ten years. His statement shows the value of Pink Pills in extreme nervous disorders: "I have had paral)' for abont ten fears. I began to take Williams' Pink ills about three months ao. I have tried nearly every remedy I eon Id henr of, but these pills did me more pood than anything else I ever tried. I noticed their good eifcets first because they removed the bloating which troubled ine. I was very nervon. The slightest excitement or loud noise would cause great drops of sweat to stnttd out on my hands and face. This condition has also been greutly improved by the ose of the pills." Here follows an account of another cure of paralysis : I was tken with n stroke r( paralysis one yewr aero Inst April, and for ten months was not able to walk down town, a distance of three quarters of a mile Alwtnt August 1, 1895-, after having hud doctors and having tried mnnr rcniedi's I hegnn to t!k Wil liams'' Pink Pills.

II IHilla ea tha Future Wlthr ON Tim Enthusiasm. From the Progreu, Sullivan, IlL Oscar Hashes is one of the leading tetwb era of Moultrie county, and is now ia charge of the school at iiruce, Illinois. lie has been teaching since 1887 except for a time when his- heajtb was too bad to permit hil doing any work. To a Progrets reporter Mr. Hughes gave the following account of his case : " My trouble dates back to 1890, and wa due to close application to my school work and insufficient amount of out-door exercise, I commenced teaching in 1887 and after closely applying myself for three years I found my nervous system impaired, and aa a natural consequence the disorder of my digestive organs followed which resulted ia chronic gnstrilis and dilation of the stomach. " For three years I was treated by eminent specialists but obtained no relief. I can say without exaggeration that I have taken a bucket fuft of medicines from specialists . without receiving any benefit. My suffer ings were almost unbearable. Being dis posed to continue my work in the school room I kept on nntil I was a wreck in body and mind.. " I at last eanup to a stage when I could sleep only a few hours at night, and I then found myself unable to continue my school work, and I discontinued it. In the spring of 1802 I gradually grew worse and was re duced to almost a skeleton, weighing only 123 pounds, whereas my weight in godU health is 175 pounds. I commenced the use of Dr. WillinmsTink Pills the first of June. 181)5, and after awing only six boxes I found to my great joy thai my ease was not hope less. The pill toned up my stomach aofl I felt like a different man. "I resumed my school work at the begin ning ot this school year, and my health nas continued to improve until I consider my 6clf a well' man. It gives me pleasure to say a word for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for he who directs the sufferer to a fount of heal ing is truly a philanthropist." The Prngrrut can vouch for the truthful ness of what Mr. Hughes says. His con dition fr the past three or four years hoi Iwen w!l known and his recovery has been an agreeable surprise to his friends.
