Skins taken at that time bring only about one third the price of pelts taken during the rest of the year It is estimated that if the animals are killed only during the ten months when the fur is good it would make a difference of from $150000 to $209000 in the value of furs taken in Aiichigan eact) year There was some discussion in the senate over a proposition to take out of the hands of the judiciary committee headed by Sen ator Clapp the bill of Senator Smaliey pro viding tor taxation of cvhurches Smalley moed that this be done and the members of the judiciary committee objected It was urged In favor of the resolution that the judiciary committee nad too much to do to properly handle the matter of church taxation resolution was carried and the matter was then referred to the commiattee on taxation Judge Durfee of the Wayne County Pro bate Court sent to Representative Alat thews a bill in regard to the handling 'of Insane persons and notice was given of the introduction of

just double the original capitalization The plant is now paying 10 per cent dividends The transfer is delayed for a few days as the Gilbert estate which owns most of the stock is in Probate Court and the judge's sanction must be obtained That however is only a formality In the senate thia af ternoon Senator AIc Laughlin made a fieculiar play and one that may retard Detroit's legislation The judiciary committee reported favorably a bill making the clerkship of the Grand Rapids Court elective instead of appointive as at present and a request was made that this bill with the one trans ferring $10000 from the contingent to the poor fund of Grand Rapids be given Im mediate action Senator AleLaughlin then spoke against suspending the rules tor im mediate action with the result that the two bills were placed on the general order Senator Barnard of Grand Rapids support ing McLaughlin But the Grand Rapids men that wanted quick action carried their point just the same They put through a motion to go into committee of the whole and had the bill as well as that relating to Bay poor fund The bad results to Detroit came quickly When the bill taking from the council the rlghtto confirm lighting commission con tracts came up Instead of being immediate ly acted upon it was referred to the senate committee on cities and villages It was expected that immediately after the senate adjourned the committee would meet and act on the lighting bill President yfe and Secretary Conant ot the Detroit light ing commission were on hand to explain the need of immediate action to the com mittee but Chairman AleLaughlin and the other members of the committee disap peared "mysteriously leaving Messrs yfe and Conant to amuse themselves by ad miring the senate chamber and wondering wnen tney would go Home nowever committee finally appeared and it was elded unanimously to report the bill vorably to merrow morning Senator Thompson to day introduced health board bill It is practically as elded upon at the Cadillac Hotel meeting of physicians a few days ago four mem bers of the board to be appointed by the governor three to be physicians health officer to be appointed by the board and to erceive no more than $5000 a year hold office at the pleasure of the board and to appoint all his own assistants all expenses to be charged to the city The bill was re ferred to the senate committee on cities and villages at the head of which is Sen ator AleLaughlin whom Alayor Pingree tried to down To night there is some talk of adjourn ing the Upper Peninsula trip for two weeks ILS? er that some of the members may take in the Alger Club banquet at Detroit party for the long term senatorship I cast my vote for James Here there was a burst of applause from all in the room and AV Cottrell took a large bou quet of flowers from the desk and brought it down to Air seat Then the man from Bay continued in his former dignified style "i do not vote for Mr AicMiliian because I think he is a bet ter man than Air Uhl but as this selection of Air AIcAilllan has been so unanimous by the Republicans 1 consider Air AlcAHllan a man a capable business man and his election will do credit to Then there was more applause as Air Donovan took his seat There were only tvo absentees in the house Representatives Waldo and Stoll The former had to go away on business and the absence is due to the death of his father The other ninety eight mem bers all voted for McAIillan Representative erguson of Wayne has almost completed the preparation of his bill licensing the sellers of cigarettes the bill now stands wholesale dealers in cigarettes or cigarette wrappers are to pay a county license of $200 retail dealers are to pay $100 annually It is provided that any person selling cigarettes without license may be fined not more than $500 or less than $100 Cigarettes must not be sold to persons under 16 years of age and it is made a misdemeanor to seil or give away a cigarette containing any substance not to bacco or which may be deleterious to health The manner In which isk got the upper hand through having the greater number of members on his committee was rather singular That committee was supposed to have only five members but In naming his committees Speaker Gordon gave it sev en After thia had been done Representa tive riot LuLivuuveu a resolution tnat number be increased to seven and the tion was carried Another bill in the hands of Representa tive Alatthews provides for the care of Wayne county funds It will be remem bered that when ex City Treasurer Tuite of Detroit was tried on account of the $15 000 shortage in his office it was found that the law provided that there was no crime in such a case if the accused had expressed the intention of returning the money Mat bill would make the misappropria tion of Wayne county funds a felony amounting to embezzlement The bill how ever would cover no city offices only that of the county treasurer The Tuite case might be repeated even if the bill was passed Cowells It is understood that Represen tative Covell made his objection because his friend Land Commissioner rench who is also a member of the state board of auditors wanted to have his son appointed The first action that looked like actual work on the part of the legislature was originated by Mr isk of Wayne As chairman of the house committee on city corporations he reported the bill taking from the council of Detroit the right to act on the contracts of the lighting com mission Air committee reported the bill favorably and asked its immediate passage Air isk made quite a speech in favor of the bill He related how the legislature two years ago passed a law to permit De troit to run her own lighting plant how the aidermen held up all contracts continued the speaker some means of which we know nothing but which we may imagine all contracts were almost unanL mously confirmed except this dynamo con tract That was held up also for a reason which we may imagine The city of Detroit is paying $2000 a month interest on the $600000 which it cost to build its lighting plant and the bill is Intended to release the commission and give the of this $2000 per month dynamo contract is held lighting plant is or some time past the letter boxes in the northern part of the city nave been robbed by two men who carried a key though they did not wear the regulation carriers uni form The police were notified to watch the boxes and arrest every person seen to open them who did not have a uniform Since that time a number of sub carriers have been arrested and taken to the various stations and held until they were able to prove their Identity As yet the guiltv parties have not been caught Senator Jones of Hillsdale gave notice of the first general appropriation bill It provides for the relief of old soldiers out side of homes by providing pay ment into and out of county treasuries ot sums for such relief instead of having the business done through township funds as at present The bill also provides for the appointment of members of the sol home board for one two and three years Instead of for three years each as now The bill provides for an appropria tion of $S80vu for each of the years of 1895 and 1S96 for homes Another bill by Senator Jones will provide for a township sealer of weights and measures to be elected for a term of two vears Senator Martin gave notice of a bill pro viding for the prevention of bicycle steal ing and for punishment for the offense wards 4 Barry and luuia Itepubliean Sixteenth Eaton and Ingham Reoubli caal10U Democratic Mid Re ov tended to Hon John Donovan for his cour The bill slid through as if greased ly everybody stood up on the question of putting the bill on its third reading and when the question of its passage was put there was not a single contrary vote 97 members saying The bill was given immediate effect The cook within the kitchen stood Her hands upon her hips And many were the angry words Came pouring from her lips Take high price baking powder back And bring me And if he did not go straightway likely scolding yet Alothers with daughters that are yet young often ask themselves: can my girls be saved from nerv ousness and lifelong It falls to the mother with her clear thoughtful eyes to see that the health an 1 future happiness of her daughters is not sacrificed to excessive study or to any un reasonable excitement The signs of failing health and weakness pale cheeks languid behavior colorless lips growing thinness all these ring alarm in her mind for they point each with its separate finger to but one cause: thin watery blood and an already impaired nervous system Parents should begin at the first symp tom of such tendency to change this unfor tunate habit of the body The real nerve food Paine's celery compound if used with the attention to regularity that any able physician's prescription requires (this re markably effective blood maker and nerve food is the formula of no less eminent a scientist than Prof Edward Phelps Af LL of the Dartmouth Aledical School) if taken as Prof Phelps urgently advises is sure to cause forthwith a clear ly observed change in the tired badly nourished body A single week will show that the down" system is appropriating more of the food that is taken into the body and rapidly building up the weakened parts Languor will disappear the spirits will be raised the nervous affections dyspepsia neuralgia and depression that went with the former exhausted condition will no longer atfiict the nerves or overwrought worried parents for thin pale children for the aged who are most apt to be afflicted with rheumatism and sleeplessness and for any who lack strength there Is nothing that progressive physicians rely on so invariably as celery compound It makes new blood It stores the nervous tissues all over the body with fresh material It builds up the brain It cleanses every bit of harmful humor from the blood an1 sends it briskly through the arteries laden with food for the deepestmost vital tissues returning health and an active full fed state of the body in Paine's cel ery compound St Louis' January 15 At the little village of Alitchell Alaaison Co miles north of this city dy was enacted by Louis to quiet and inoffensive became suddenly crazed as the result of a light between two of his friends As the result Philip German the village black smith and Andreas Welch were wounded the former fatally and Louis Banker the shooter is dead by his own hand The trouble occurred in a saloon where about twenty men ha congregated for an even spurt It began when William Gii ham a farmer became drunk and picked a quarrel with Joe Hanks a friend of the murderer This enraged Louis Banker who was sitting quietly by and seemed to transport him into a demon He drew a revolver backed himself up to the wall and defied the whole crowd Philip German a friend of Banker tried to quiet the latter and received a bullet in his neck that will probably prove fatal for it is thought to have louged in the lungs The insane wrath of Banker was then turned upon Airs Martin the saloon wife whom the infuriated man next fired upon Her life was saved by Andreas Welch who stepped before the woman just in time to catch the bullet in his arm the bones of which were shat tered With a shout o9 frenzied jov and rage Banker then drove the panic stricken crowd out of the saloon and ended the tragedy by blowing out his own brains Ex Senator Joseph Al Weiss is here and says he knows nothing about his rumored candidacy for secretary of staee in case Washington Gardner is nominated for con gress to succeed Julius Caesar Burrows The house committee on judiciary had a meeting this afternoon on matter of raising the pay of state officials Repre sentatives Covoll Alatthews Graham and Partridge of the committee' were present and Gov Rich Attorney General Aiaynard and Land Commissioner rench were pres ent to argiie their case This work how ever devolved mainly upon ex Attorney General Ellis who spoke at some length in favor of raising the salaries The mem bers of the committee seemed to agree that the pav ot the officers ought to be raised The onlv question remaining to be deter mined was how it was to be done There are two bills before the committee Repre sentative bill takes the fixing of salaries out of the constitution and puts the matter into the hands of the leqila the matter in the hands of the people as at present by simply raising the figures in the constitution The committee seemed to tavor the plan of Mr oster as it was thought that the people would be more likely to vote for that plan are said one mem ber of the committee if the people are askfed to vote on a proposition to put the matter into the hands of the legisla ture it will be feared that the latter may be handled too easily and the whole proj ect will be defeated As a plain proposi tion raiso the salaries I think the peo ple are anxious to give their officials prop er The committee will hold another meeting to morrow morning and will probably reach some conclusion at that time Latreiu" Micb

very unusual up the DETROIT RED PRESS: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 115 189S Senator Watts of Jackson has given no tice of the introduction of another senatorial apportionment bill Senator Watts had an eye to politics in preparing his districts basing his calculation on the vote of 1892 thinking that the election of last fall was not a fair gauge of the relative strength of the two parties The districts as proposed are as follows: irst district Seventh ninth eleventh thirteenth and fifteenth wards of Detroit with the townships of Hamtramck and Grosse According to the election returns of these wards and townships are Democratic by 32s5 majority Second district irst second third and fifth wards of Detroit with tho townships of Bedford Livonia Plymouth Nankin ami Dearborn These wards and (ownships jave 136 Republican majority Third dis ourth sixth eighth tenth and twelfth wards of Detroit These gave 396 Repub lican majority ourth ourteenth and sixteenth wards of Detroit with the townships of Springwells Eeorse Taylor Romulus Canton Van Buren Sump ter Huron Brownstovvn mguagon and Wyandotte These eave nine Democratic majority ifth district Counties of Monroe and lenawee xteiuocratic H5 Sixth Hillsdale and Jackson 1464 Seventh Livingston and Democratic 1146 Eighth Eranch and Calhoun Ninth Kalamazoo and St Joseph Bean 122 Tenth district Cass and Berrien Bepubllcan Eleventh Allegan and Van Buren Be pubiienn 2 582 twelfth district Ottawa and Muskegon lican 1034 Thirteenth irst second third fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth and wards of Grand Rapids Democratic 617 ourteenth district Tenth and eleventh with the ret of Kent county Bepublicnn The matter on hand that attracted most attention was the formal election of United States senators The Republican caucuses of two weeks ago had settled the matter but it was necessary to go through the forms of an election just the same The ceremony would nave Deen vefv tame if it had not been for the interest that centered about the untieioated action of Representative Donovan the onlv Demo crat in the legislature Air Donovan bad steadily refused to declare las intentions on the matter and this left an element of doubt The ceremony in both houses was as fol lows: The clerk called the name of each member and the latter arose at his seat and named his choice and the speaker re peated the name to avoid mistakes The long term senatorship was voted upon first Everybody voted for James AIcMUlan In a perfunctory sort of style until Air Dono name was called When the man from Bay arose there was the most perfect quiet in the house and all the members swung their chairs around to watch his face "Air said Mr Donovan "on account of my position I think that a fewwords of explanation are necessary I have been relying on the justice of our cause and the magnanimity of the Republicans so often shown toward me to bring you over to our side I had hoped that you would see th error of your ways and join us But I see that I have been mistaken in that hope But I shall try to show that the Democrats can be magnanimous as well as be right In consonance with the request of lion Edwin Uhl the nominee of our On the short term senatorship Air Don ovan asserted his Democracy by sticking to his party nominee When the name of the man from Bay was called he broke the monotony of the repetition of Julius Caes ar name by announcing his vote for Hon John Strong There was no ex pression of either disapproval or the con trary from the other members The oriien ninety seven went to Burrows Air Donovan said he made this distinc tion because in McAIillan's case the Repub licans had been unanimous On Burrows there had been a split and he did not feel as if courtesy demanded that he should forsake his party nominee After the vote in both cases had been an nounced and the insult ordered printed in tne journal tne tuuuwiug resolution fered by Representative Chamberlain unanimously adopted: That the thanks the publican members of this house be 1 tesy In voting for Hon James McMillan for United States senator tor the long term and thereby conferring upon our es teemed senator the honor of being the first person ever elected to the United States senate by the unanimous vote of a legisla ture of this The only thing remaining to be done In the senatorship elections is for both houses to gather at noon to morrow compare votes and declare that the two men select ed have been formally selected as Aiichi senators Representative AVaite gave notice of a bill prohibiting the use of seines pound nets gill nets and other set nets in the waters of Green Bay Representative Aloore of Wayne gave no tice of a bill to make railroads carry a cer tain number of employes on each train He also gave notice of a bill to amend the liability act His proposed amendment would make employers liable for any aocident happening to employes while obeying orders while the accident was due to defective machinery or appa
