bs i. wins. i A Whole Regiment of News Items From Michigan Towns CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READING. The liny City Manufacturers of licet 8ujar Will Doubtless Apply to the Court to Obtain llouuty A Lout Watch Stolen by Burglar. TT1U Have to b Settled In the Courts. I The Michigan Sugar Co., of Day City, maintains that tho bounty law of 1897 is constitutional, but Atty.-Gcn. Oren says it is not. Two weeks ago, Land Commissioner French issued a certifi cate showing that $24,000 was due for eugar manufactured in January and February of this year. Dix referred the matter to the attorney-general for an opinion as to his right to draw a warrant for the paymentof the amount from the general fund. The attorney general has concluded that the ex pense is not a general expense of the state government on which the legisla ture can predicate a tax under section 1, article 14, of the constitution, which says that "The legislature shall pro vide for on annual tax, sufficient with other resources, to pay the estimated expenses of tho state government, the interest of the state debt, and such de ficiency as may occur in the resources." 'This squarely raises the question as to the constitutionality of the law. f flarglar Uncovered an Old Crime. During tho last presidential cam paign Mrs. 11. A. Myler, of lluchanan, attended a political meeting in the opera house, and on leaving the build ing left her purse containing a gold watch and a So bill on the chair she occupied. No clue to the finder was discovered until a few days ago, and then it came about in a peculiar man tier. On July 4, while the family was away from home, the house of a farmer residing southwest of Buchanan, was Imrglarized and among tho booty se cured were two gold watches. The burglar was captured and the goods recovered. Among them was found the watch of Mrs. Myler. It now comes out that the farmer picked up the purse and kept it, anl he was ar rested and will doubtless suffer for his crime. A Destructive Smudge. Richard Foote, a farmer near Stand ish, started a lire to keep away mos quitoes, and the blazj spread to his barn, which was totally destroyed, to gether with the horses inside it. An other occurrence of a similar nature last week was at Mason, where a man fctarted a smudge in his chicken house to drive out the chicken lice. The barn caught fire, and while the man was hustling around to put out the fire lie fell down a flight of stairs and broke his wrist. The fire department put out the fire before the barn was burned, but they also put out the smudge, s-o that the chicken lice are fctill doing business at the old stand. A ISIg Iron Ore lied Found. ,' The largest iron ore find reported "this year has been m ule by l'ickands, blather fc Co., the Cleveland, ()., iron ore men, upon the land of John (5rin ninger in Stainbaugh township, in Iron county. The property is located about two miles south of the village of Stambaugh and adjoins the Dober mine and Oliver mining property on the south. The discovery was made -with a diamond drill, a hole having penetrated over 2'M feet of the forma tion; CO feet of clean or.p was found that gives 00 per cent in metallic iron, and an average of tho whole length of tho hole gives nearly 50 per cent iron. A Very Clever Game. t Here is the very latest game gotten vp by promissory note swindlers and worked in southwestern Michigan. A well dressed man of clerical appear ance drives up to a farmhouse and asks permission to stay for the night. De fore the family and their guest retire for tho night a man and woman stop at the house and inquire the way to the nearest minister, saying they wish to get married. The guest says he is a clergyman and offers his services. 'A "marriage certificate" is filled out after the ceremony has been gone through with, and the farmer and his wife are asked to sign it as witnesses. ,TTbey do so, and a i'v weeks after 'ward the certificate tnrns up as a promissory note for several hundred dollars which has been sold to some bank which proceeds to collect. Indians Looking: After Their Cash. A band of 20 Pottawatomie Indians went to Kalamazoo recently from southwestern Michigan to mako affida vit, to establish claims for money (which had once been granted them by 'the courts but was cither mislaid or misappropriated. The lands for which they were to receive pay were 49 sec tions near Nile, 10 near Mcndon and J01 around Schoolcraft. The money, 9160,000, it is claimed was paid accord ing to an old census roll, consequently 3C2 members of the tribe received no "pay and 272 received the money. tit is so dry in Cass county farmers ave been obliged to stop cultivating corn. j The overflowing of the Muskegon a-lver has caused great damage to cel icry beds. One man estimates his loss at 1 3,000. i Farmers in the vicinity of Three Oaks say that few of their wheat fields will pay for harvesting. Other crops are all right. J The city fathers at Albion believe in jrood roads, and have purchased a gravel pit to supply the material for improving the streets. A Itiiil Case of llydrophln. Mrs. John Edgett, living tinea miles east of Lakeviile, began to develop symptoms of hj'drophobia on the 12th and the following morning she was raging mad. Mrs. Edgett is but 10 years old and has been married less than a year. (soma time after her marriage she was bitten by a little "whiffet" dog, but experienced no pain or evil effects from tho bite. The first noticed of this terrible malady was the queer action of Mrs. F.dgett on the above date. She had harnessed herself to a rig, taken the bits in her mouth and had drawn the buggy about a quarter of a mile. Several neighbors took her homo and locked her in the barn, where she began to eat hay in a ravenous manner. Doctors pronounce it a clear case of hydrophobia. Tho patient barks, spits and foams at the mouth, and h er suffering is terrible to witness. The physicians have strapped her on a bed, in which position she will probably remain until death comes to relievo her of her terrible agony. 8100,000,000 Worth of Vntaxed Property One of tho duties of tho state tax commission is to reach the vast amount "of personal property which now es capes taxation. In order to do this ex perts must be employed. The com mission predicts that with nn expen diture of from 825.000 to 830.000, in cluding the salaries of the commis sioners, not less than 8100,000,000 of property will be added to the assess ment rolls of the sato for the year 1900. If this shall be the result, and the average rate of taxation paid by the other property of the state is col lected thereon, the returns for the ex penditure noted will bo not less than 82,000,000, and the other property now being assessed therefor will be re lieved to a like extent. For a National Filter. The fact that in the near future a filtering plant to cost f31,( 0J will be a necessity at Lake (Joguac, the source of llattle Creek's water supply, has caused a novel suggestion. In the lake, near pumpiug station, is Ward's island, composed of sand nn I gravel. The suggested experiment is that a reservoir be dug in the center of this island, and the water be allowed to filter naturally thro-.isrh the sand from the lake, which process, it is claimed, would purify it, and save the expense of the proposed plant. Cans County's Sea Serpent. The I ml i an lake sea serpent has been seen several times this summer. It appear to I e about 12 feet long and can propel itself through the water like an arrow. Thus far very few have been able to get a close view of it, owing to its shyness. The only danger to be felt is that it might sud denly rise some time under a boat, capsize the oceupints and possibly kill some of them with its tail in its effort to get away. 8100,000 Libel Suit. The limit of endurance was reached when the Detroit Evening News pub lished an article alluding that it was Gov. II. S. Fingree's intention to fasten a 43-j-ear street railway franchise on the city of Detroit, get a million dol lars for it, and then retire from poli tics. Accordingly the governor has commenced a libel suit against that paper for 8100,000. STATE GOSSIP. Sanilac county a poor house shelters 20 inmates.

The pope is reported as much pleased at the sueeef-s of the. council of the bishops of the Latin-American church, which has just concluded its delibera tions at Rome. Subjects which were expected to show differences of opin ion almost impossible to reconcile were disposed of with a minimum of friction. Perhaps the most important was the scheme for serving the Latin-American episcopate from the jurisdiction and control of the Spanish primate. '1 his was finally imposed, despite ve hement protests from the Spanish church. Henceforth the church of South America will have an American born primate chosen by the pope him self. In the future, also, there will be an identical liturgy, ecclesiastical code, etc., for the South American churches, irrespective of the stites wherein they are located. The council's report was submitted to the pope and was form ally approved. The new primate will be nominated at the next consistory, and will be immediately raised to tho dignity of cardinal.

WAR NOTES, Imnortnnt cablegrams have been re ceived at the state department from the Philippine commission and at the war department from Gen. Otis, con cerning a new move in the direction of peace. These dispatches have been in the hands of the President for several days but he has declined to make them public because tho ultra optimistic views heretofore received from the same source have not been borne out by subsequent events. The latest dis patches, however, are more encourag ing than the previous ones, but the President wishes to have some positive results before making them public. All that can bo learned definitely about them is that direct overtures for peace have been made to Gen. Otis by Aguinaldo and some of his principal leaders. Under command of Capt. McOraw three troops of the 4th cavalry and the gunboat Napidan, commanded by Lieut. Larsen, had an engagement with a detachment of 500 Filipinos at Mantiiupa, on the south shore of the lake. The Napidan shelled tho rebels and a party of 135 Americans landed, and by a sharp running fight succeeded in driving the rebels to the hills. Two of the cavalrymen were wounded, and the bodies of 10 insurgents were found. It is estimated that the enemy's loss was 35. The attorney-general has rendered an opinion in which he holds, in effect, that the Havana street railway fran chise, known as the Torre concession, on tho evidence submitted, is superior to all others, and is such as entitles its owners to be permitted at their own risk, under the permission of tho mu nicipal authorities, to proceed with the work of construction without the injunction of the military authorities.

An explosion of gases in Muskegon lake, earned an upheaval of about two acres of the lake's bottom. M. and II. Iverson were in a boat over the spot at the timo and their craft was tossed about like a feather. The lake was 25 feet deep at the spot A special from London, Ky., tells of a report reaching there of the out break of another feud in Clay county, by which five men lost their lives. These fatalities resulted from a pitched battle fought near Little Goose creek, three mile from Manchester. The feud dates back nearly two years. Meager details have been received of a pitched battle between a sheriff's posse and the gang of out-laws who held up a Colorado A Southern passen ger train at Foisom, N. M., a few days ago.- The affair occurred near Cimar ron. The sheriff and a member of the posse was killed, and it is feared sev eral others were fatally wounded. A family feud is responsible for a shooting affray at Milesvllle, near Monogahela City, Pa., the result of which is one woman probably fatally wounded, another in a serious condi tion, and a man with two bullets in his side. AFTER 102 YEARS Leet's "Spoliation C'Uliu" of 60,000 U Ordered to be Paid to the Heirs. Judge Durfee, of Detroit, has dis posed of a claim that has been pend ing for many years against the United States government and had its origin 102 years ago. In 1797 one Gideon Leet followed the business of shipping merchant at one of the port on the Atlantic coast, and was tho owner of a half interest in the brig Matilda. On one of her voyages and while laden with a valuable cargo of sugar and rum, the Matilda was captured by a French privateer. The crew were given a leaky boat and two days' pro vision and sent afloat. Ry good for tune they made a lauding somewhere, but the exact spot is not known, und reached their way homo. They made known to Mr. Leet the circumstances of the capture and he filed a claim with congress for the value of his half-interest in the vessel and cargo, which he placed at 89,000. This was presented to the French government, along with a number of other "spolia tion claims," and adjustment was in definitely postponed. When the pres ent state of Louisiana was ceded to tlte United States by France, tho former country's claim against the lat ter were wiped off tho books, but tho government of the United States as sumed the "spoliation claims." Gid eon Leet's claim bobbed up in congress after this, but was relegated to tho dust of n pigeon-hole. Then Mr. Leet dropped it and came to Michiiran and settled on G rosso Isle, where he died, intestate, in 1820. Judge Durfee in settling tho claim made an order that the amount allowed by convrcss should be divided among the executors or ad ministrators of the estates of Gideon Leet's six children. Fall of the llastlle Celebrated In France. July 14th was the national fete day at Paris. All public and many private buildings were decorated.
