On ing in all six heads of families, of whom i one onlv ia living. Isft their native home* in the State of New York, to seek out a home in the west. On their arriving at Detroit, atoped there until the men came , oo through, had to luake roads some of ' the way, aod build a log bouae for their families to move into. Dr. Laing was then living at Laiogsburg, our nearest neigh-

, bor. We also found Robert McKee,Squaodip, sa tbe Indians called him.Captain Scott was then living at Dewitt,

> our next nearest neighbor. Many were tbe deprivations thoee early settlers had to jjaae through. I think it wae in the summer of 1837 Isaac Bennett, the tint ittorrant preacher, came to my father's bouae and preached. I could make mention of many of our pioneer preacbere who traveled through this then wilderness land on Indian traito. fording etreaui* for ther«* was no bridges at that time I think it was in I83na preacher by tbe name of Jackson travel^ the circuit.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC,RE(iARDIN€ A MALICIOUS UNTRUTH BEIN6 CIRCl

LATED ABOUT THE MERCANTILE COMPANY.

UR attention has been called ^to a report bein^: circulated by Aome of our over zealous competitors to the effect that the arrest of William

Varaj^her, on the streets of 3t. Johns Saturday, had been indirectly instijiâted by the Mercantile Company. It has been evident on past occasions that a certain element of rival merchants, who are sore at the success of The riercantile, are always ready to employ any means which they imagîne will stem the tide of customers to The Bi)( Store, but it remained for some of the more short sis^hted ones to attempt to prejudice the farmers by so filmsy a yam as the above. Our customers are attracted by fair treatment, dependable gôods and honesty in all dealing, and no class appreciate this so well as the farmers. It is a well known fact that there was NO CASH riARKET in St. Johns, for produce. UNTIL THE MERCANTILE COMPANY STARTED. The farmers who sold blitter, eggs and other produce before The Big Store appeared on the scene, do not need to be told this; they often mention it themselves, and their appreciation is practically demonstrated by their trade which Is constantly bestowed on our stores.

We desire to brand any story connecting our name with the unfortunate episode as an absolute falsehood. So far as we are concerned, the farmers are perfectly weicome to sell their products of any nature upon our streets.

General A. J. Warner, of Marietta. O., was Introduced as “the oldmt warrior In the silver cause In the country." He argued (or free silver. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, was then introduced, and his addrem was punctuated with cheers throughout. He stated that the Spanish war waa worth all It coat If It bad proved nothing elee than that the south will light for the sUirs and stripes as eagerly and as well a» the north. He declared that unless the policy of the government Is changed soon the republic is doomed, and will liecome a government of oppression of the many by the few.

C;aa»a»*al* oa tka Moarw Ga—ltoa.He praised New England for what It

had doae for the country, but called attention to the fact that there were people enough south and wast of the

I Potomac and the Mlmleslppl to elect a president without the aid of New

! gro Is not the equal of the white man, ' still be believed In giving him his legal I rights—barring the polltcal side. He I raid the negroes did not know enough I to vole, and In South Carolina the I white people bad succeeded In dlsfran- rblslng them until they can read and

Tillman asked: "If it was right to ' free Cuba because Spain was shooting \ Cubans to death, how Is It to be reconciled with the fact that the United States, which now owns the Philippines. Is now shooting the Plllpinos to

; death." He said that he believed the president is honest in hts belief that he

' Is doing his duty, but claimed that he I only looked nt the one fart that the United Slates Itought the islands from S|Miln. The south and South Carolina will at any time send as many men In proportion to Its popiilsilon as any state to any war of decency and honor, but It will not send a regiment to the Philippines.

The paragraph goes on to say that such aa- acrtlons, on investigation, will prove to be well founded. In the country districts of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba colored clubs have iteen formed to promote the theory that to the victors iMlong the spolla, and a slate has been prepared with Gualberto Gomes, a mulatto, as president: Demetrio Castillo. a white man. aa vice president, and Qulntin ilanderas. a black, as commander-1 n-chief of the army.

The l*rotesla. a paper suppressed by the Spanish in Dt94. rsapiieared yesterday and it is said will endeavor to counteract the influence wielded by the Neuvo Pals in favor of a protectorate. In a leading editorial The Protests says; "The enormous aacrlflcss of the Cubans seem to have been In vain. Cuba has shed much blood and taars. and the Island Is sown with corpses and ruins, but the Cuban finds himself even worse off than before. He has broken the iionda of Spain, but he flnds himself In the Imnds of the United States. There Is but a alight difference

"Perhaps the vibrating voice of the Cuban iteople will serve to keep at bay the cupidity and greed of the Amerl- aens. Would to G^ that It may. We appeal to all who speak the language of Cervantes to forget the pMt. We appeal to all who have In their veins the glorious Spanish blood to unite tn contending against the stnleter vortex which Is approaching to destroy, with manifeat satlsfartlon. the Cuban people Tha Amerieins as a raae have forgotten their paat. They have forgotten Washington and Idacoln. They are a race different from the Cubans. They are a race that puts Into flgnsee the yearnings of national apirtt. The Cu- bana are ready to fight again, not agalnai Spain, but as a Latin natloo which underatanda that In n fate- fraught hour It will have to play a game with Ita life at stnke on the cheaeboard of daatb.”

Lansing, Mich., Hept. 1.—There Is a bare chance that the forty or more telephone companies that escaped paying taxes for 1898 by reason of the action of the supreme court In declaring the valuation law of 1881 Invalid, may yet be brought to Imok and made to yield up some tribute to the state

The attorney general. It is understood. has been asked for on opinion os to the right of the state authorities to now tax these companies under the law which was In effect previous to the enactment of the law of 1881 and which, owing to the Invalidity of the latter law. was never repealed.

This old law provided for a specific tax on the earnings of thesecompanies. and that If the attorney general holds that It Is not too late to apply this statute to these companies, the latter will be called upon for reports of their earnings for 1898 and the assessment will be made.

"Did you ever see the dbmeter of a lightniog flash loesaared?*’ asked a geoto- ^st. ”\\ ell. here is the esse which uoce inclosed a flesh of lightning, fitting it exactly. so that you can see Just how big it was. This b called a ’fulgurile,’ or ‘lightniog hole,’ and the material it b made of is glass. I will tell you bow it was manufactured, though it only took a frartion of a second to turn it out.

“When s bolt of lightning strike* s bed of sand, it plunge* <iownwanl into the sand for a distance less or greater, transforming simultaneously intfi glass the silica in the material through which it passe*. Thus by it* great heat it forms a glas* tube of precisely its own site. Now and^ then such a tul»e known as ‘fulgurite’ is found and dug up. F'ulgurites have lieeo fullowetl into the sand by excavation for nearly feet. They vary in interior diameter from the sise of a quill to three inrhe* or more, according to the Mwire’ of the dash.

"Hut fulgurile* are not alone produced in sand. They are found also in solid rock, though very naturally of dight depth, and rre<|uently existing merely as a tbm. glassy coating on the Kurfare. Such fulgurite* occur in astouiahiug abuiidsuce itii the summit of Little Ararat. in Armenia. The rock is aoft and so fwrou* that blocks s foot long can be obtained smi iierforated in all directions by little tul>e« fillnl with bottle green glas* forme<l from the fused r«»ck. There Is s small t|»e4inieii iu the .National mu*e- uni which has the spiM-arauce of having been lMin*<l liy the lere<lo. and the hole* made by the worm subset)uently lilletl with glass.

"M«»me wonderful fulgurites were fnand by Hnmhohit on Hie high .Nevada de Tt* luca. in Mexico. Masse* of the rock were coventi with a thin layer of green glass. Its iieculiar shimmer iu the sun leil Hum- lioldt to ascentl the precipitous |M-ak at the risk of his life."

A Ssr^rlsed I>4hi.Among the livestiirk |Mtases*ed by a

'Theo, taking it in its mouth, the dog ran bosae and laid tbe tall at its mistress’ feet.

She started back la horror, whereupon, witb a reproachful look, the dog took the tail again and went out and sat on tbe front porch with It. It played with tbe severed caudal sppendsige for s long time. Hut with tbe ending of tbe day tbe dog’s spirits seemed to rail, and that night. In the mooallgbL it carried Its tail to tbe most aeeladed part of Mr. Hutton’s farm. There, under a gnarled old apple tree.
