A Whole Regiment of News Items From Michigan Towns CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READING. Persons Killed by a How r. City Brntal Fiend The Death. State for April were 300 In March Other Items. Than Brntal Mnrdur at Howard City. Joseph Harvey, who has lived all his life on a farm near Howard City, whos boyhood training was good, and who never had any vicious or eccentric habit or characteristics to distinguish him from tens of thousands of young men whose lives have been spent on farms near small towns, showed re cently, notwithstanding all this, that he possessed a murderous spirit that will make him for all time a notable figure in the list of cold blooded human slay era As a result of his insane desire to kill, a wife, grandmother and uncle met instant death, while his father-in-law is fatally wounded and Harvey's only six -months-old baby is crippled for life. In addition to this the mur derer shot himself in the mouth and eye and lay down beside his dead wife to die, but such a fate was not his good fortune, as he will not die from his in juries. One theory for the awful trag edy is that Harvey had no intention of murder, until his uncle took him to task for keeping the horse out late. Then, when he killed his uncle, an in sane streak seized him and the other murders were the consequence. How ever, this is only a suggestion ns to what might have prompted the deed, and the real motive for the crime may never be known. 8,06ft Deaths In the State In AprIL The total number of deaths in Mich igan for the month of April was 2,9(35, about 300 less than the number re ported for the previous month. The date rate for April was 15.6 per 1,000 estimated population, as compared with the rate of 16. 5 for March. The death rate was low for infants and children, but remained hicrh for the aged. The most important causes of death were as follows: Consumption, 474; other forms of tuberculosis, 56; typhoid fever, 36; diphtheria and croup, 2:1, scarlet fever, 6; measles, 18; whooping cough, 16; pneumonia, 354; diarrheal diseases of children, 55; cere brospinal meningitis, 170; influenza, 148; puerperal septicaemia, 12; cancer, 116; accidents and violence, 123. Pneu monia and influenza markedly de clined, as compared with the preceding month, while cerebro-spinal meningitis showned an increase of 34 deaths over March. Trouble Among the Bees. Maccabee circles are in a state of great excitement over the report that trouble has broken out again between Supreme Record Keeper Boynton, the father of the order, and Supreme Com mander Markey. Markey is after Boynton's job, and the latter charges that Markey has been sending out a circular letter to his friends asking them to secure the right kind of dele gates. This Markey denies, but ac knowledges he will try and secure the office of supreme record keeper. Mr. Boynton says that the main contest is a renewal of the old fight of creating a reserve for the order. Markey and a number of officers have endeavored for years to have the annua! convention adopt an amendment to the constitu tion providing for an accumulation fund. Boynton has always opposed this and so far has been victorious. Harry County Murder. A most atrocious murder was com mitted in Barry county some time dur ing the evening of the 15th, when Mrs. Sarah Newsberry, living in Yankee Springs township, was assaulted by some fiend, and probably ravished, as every strip of clothing was torn in hreds from the body, except both stockings and one shoe, ner head was mashed in. Robbery was not the ob ject; as she was in destitute circum stances, and what little money she had was found in the pocket of her dress, which was in the ro6m. Mrs. New berry was an old lady 75 years of age and lived alone in a little log hut. Chas. P. Smith, a half-witted young man, is under arrest suspected of com mitting the awful crime. Lost In a Ntorm. The schooner Nelson of Bay City foundered in a storm in Lake Superior on the 14th, and nine persons, includ ing the captain's wife and 2-year-old child, went down with her. The Nel son was in tow of the steamer A. Fol om, which also had the schooner Mary B. Mitchell as a consort. In the heavy wind the tow line ported and the schooner which was heavily laden with 00a) was left to the mercy of the waves, her canvass having all been taken in before the breaking of the tow line. Shortly after the parting of the line, and before her crew had time to lower the yawl boat, the Nelson threw her stern into the air and dived straight to the bottom in 800 feet of water. Lower Fare on the Michigan Central. Railroad Commission Osborn has made another very important discov ery. The great wave of prospcrty which came the Wabash railway sys tem's way some months ago, wus not without its drawbacks. The earnings of the system have increased to so great an extent as to subject It to the pro visnms of the so-called "two-cent a 1 mile' law, of the 1880 session of the legislature The enforcement of the law would mean a saving to the pa trons of the road of fully $25,000 a ear. It is probable that a big legal ght will be the result. Capt. Grant's Small Gunboats Do ( Good Service. TWENTY INSURGENTS KILLED. Sergeant of the I tab llattery Killed In the I 1 1; in, and One Private H ounded Hapld Fire Uuut Too Much for the Bneuiy. Manila, May 16. The tinclad gun boats Laguna de Bay and Cavadonga and a launch under Capt. Grant ran Into a nest of Insurgents concealed in the brush and on both sides of the Hio Grande river, three miles above Cal unipit, yesterday afternoon and were received with heavy volleys at short range. A sergeant belonging to the Utah battery was killed and one private Wounded. Opening with their rapid-fire guns the Americans killed twenty of the na tives and wounded several others, fill ing the Jungle with a hall of shot for a half hour until the enemy fled. TO CONTIN1K THK WAR. Filipino Congress Decides to Keep Up the Fighting. London, May I6.g-The Filipino Junta here has received the following mes sage from Aguinaldo, cabled from Hongkong under date of May 12: "The Filipino government, in accord ance with the general feeling of the country, has decided to continue the war at all costs until independence is secured. The Filipinos energetically refuse the American peace overtures, based on restricted autonomy, coupled with promises of subsequent self-government. The Filipinos demand a strict fulfilment of the articles of the American constitution and treaties contracted by the American represen tatives when imploring a Filipino al liance in combating the Spaniards. "All the Filipino generals support Aguinaldo. Gen. Luna's reported over tures for peace are untrue. Our army Is near Manila, simultaneously attack ing the whole American line. The heat and rains are causing many casualties in the American army. All the hos pitals are crowded with sick and wounded. Four hundred of the Cin cinnati regiment have been imprisoned by Gen. Otis for insubordination in re fusing to fight. The regular troops quartered in Manila andr other towns are quiet. The volunteers are abused and are always at the front, with scanty rations. The discontent be tween the Americans and Europeans is general. Have Hopes In Conference. Washington, May 16 A satisfactory conclusion is expected by administra tion officials from the conferences which will be held by the American Philippine commission with the com mission which Aguinaldo proposes to send to Manila. In a dispatch to the war department Gen. Otis announced that Aguinaldo had sent a messenger to him expressing a wish to send the commission to "arrange terms of peace." The administration officials express the opinion that this commis sion will submit to President Schur man and his associates the answer of Aguinaldo to the propositions made by the American commission to Col. Ar guelles, Aguinaldo's emissary, regard ing the character of government which would be given to the Filipinos, and which Arguelles declared was satis factory. It is probably apparent to the Fil ipinos that there is nothing to be gained by conducting negotiations for the purpose of obtaining a temporary cessation of hostilities. Gen. Otis will not grant an armistice, and he has shown that he does not propose to stop fighting, no matter how many peace emissaries Aguinaldo may send to Ma nila, unless they agree to uncondition ally surrender. In his dispatch Gen. Otis shows, despite the fact that Agui naldo states his purpose to send a commission to arrange peace, he Is making preparations to continue mil itary operations. It is evident to the officials from this dispatch that Gen. Otis has found it necessary to change his plans. He has been making preparations to attack Bacolor, where 9,000 Insurgents are be lieved to be encamped, and it is pre sumed that the movements reported today still have that point as the ob jective. Gen. Lawton is making ex cellent progress in his northward march, and the dispatch of Major Kobbe with 1,500 men up the Rio Grande, supported by gunboats and cascoes, is for the purpose ofV enabling Gen. Lawton to cross the R(o Grande without molestation by the enemy. The plan apparently contemplates the rapid swinging of Lawton to the west, Gen. MacArthur to remain at San Fernando, between the Insurgents at Bacolor and those at Mexico, and Kobbe to take a station so as to pre vent them from crossing the Rio Grande. MacArthur is also needed at his present point to protect communi cation with Manila. Travelers' Meeting, at Louisville. Louisville, Ky., May 16. Delegates have begun to arrive for the tenth an nual convention of the National Trav elers' Protective association, which be gins Its session here tomorrow morn ing. There will be 300 delegates from posts all over the country and 3,000 vis itors. The convention will continue the rest of the week. Secretary (Inge Returns. Washington.May 16.

OPPOSITION HAS DEVELOPED. Hong--Kong lteglineut. Nine Hundred Strong, with Machine Uuut, Have Left for the Scene Warships Sent to bea Under Sealed Order. Hongkong, May 16 The native .op position to the occupation by British forces of the new territory, Kow-Loon, opposite Hongkong, has suddenly been renewed. About 900 men of the Hong kong regiment, with machine guns.are leaving here, while the volunteers have been warned to be in readiness for any emergency. The British second-class gunboat Swift and three oth er gunboats are proceeding to sea un der sealed orders. These war ships have 500 men on board. The territory hack of the hinterland Is also 'disturb ed, and Chinese troops have been sent there. Ki ss I A'S DEMAND CREATES ALARM, May Cause China to Turn to Great Britain for Aid. Peking, May 16. The Russian de mand for a new railroad concession, connecting Peking with Russia's pres ent railroad system in Manchuria, is still exciting the gravest anxiety here. The chief Chinese officials are having constant consultations with the dowa ger empress. It appears to be the gen eral opinion that it Is intended the line should start from Kirin or Mukden and run direct to Peking by way of Shohol. The Germans and Japanese are par ticularly uneasy on the subject of this unexpected move upon the part of the Russians, and it Is said there is a feel ing among the prominent Chinese that the moment has come to make every effort in the direction of securing Brit ish sympathy and aid. Hreene May Not Accept. Louisville, May 16. Interest in the southern Baptist convention today cen tered about the meeting of the bbard of trustees. The business before the board was to fill vacancies and to re ceive the answer of Dr. J. T. Greene, who was elected president of the Southern Baptist seminary to succeed Dr. Whltsitt. There were many rumors afloat to the effect that Dr. Greene would either decline the presidency or would withhold his answer until he could lay the matter before his col league in Missouri. Robert C. Davison, ex-mayor of Bal timore, was appointed to represent the southern convention In the delegation of English-speaking Baptists which will personally petition the czar to put s stop to the persecution of Russian Baptists, or Stundists. Porto Hlcans to lie Soldiers. New York, May 16. A special to the Herald from Washington says: "With in a few weeks a fully organized bat talion of Porto Ricans wearing the United States army uniform will be performing duty on their native is land, under the direction of American officers. The organization of the com mand was authorized by Secretary Al ger. Reports show there is no lack of volunteers and that more than half of the battalion has been enlisted, though some of the towns have not yet furnished their quota of men." He Will Take a Census of Alaska. Seattle, Wash., May 16. Samuel C. Dunham, who is to have charge of the taking of the census in Alaska, arrived here last night from Washington on his way north. Mr. Dunham will make his headquarters at Circle City. He will begin the enumeration this sum mer and expects to have it completed by September, 1900. fNCURABLE III DISEASES II Many diseases considered in curable are catarrh LkIk under other names.

Last winter I had la grippo and nemorrhage of the lungs followed. All the doctors around here told me I had to die of consumption. Then I thought I would ask Dr. Hartr man for advice, which I did.

A profit to the bank of more than $5,000,000 in two months is the stupen dous record of the Monte Carlo estab lishment. It is safe to say that the his tory of gambling in any and all coun tries can not furnish a parallel to these figures from the annual report Just made to the shareholders of the Casino. It should be borne in mind that the bank's profit amounts to only 3 per cent, upon the sum staked, so that these gigantic winnings represent no less than $1.6, 000,000 actually risked by the players, or about $2,600,000 a day placed upon the tables. This does not mean that punters and plungers car ried a capital aggregating $2,600,000 daily to the gambling rooms and staked It on the turn of a wheel or the deal if a card. for. of course.
