HOLIER m BE A COVER POUT HURON, Mich.. Jan. By means of two false teeth It was definitely established last night that Gideon Browning, of Adair village, was the man who was butchered last Tuesday evening in the little "Rattle Run" Methodist Hp i He opal church in Columbus township. With part .if the mystery which has enshrouded the brutal crime thus cleared, the supervisors of St. Clair County Immediately offered a reward of $r,00 for the arrest of Rev. John II. CarmichU' l. of Adair, pastor of the little church, and the man who was at llrst supposed to have been killed, dismembered and then j burned in the church stove. The tooth which iclentillecl th«• dead man were found when the ashes  j the stove were silted. Thursday's examination of them was fruitless. Hut yesterday afternoon when Dr. < \ H. Hrowbeor, of St. Clair, the dentist who made Browning's set of false teeth recently, examined them again, more thoroughly, lie decided that the blackemd relics were part of Hrowning's set. His description satisfied prosecuting Attorney Hrown that It was Hrowning who had been killed, and the supervisors immediately offered tiie reward for Carmlchael's arrest and broadcast a detailed description of the minister. He was a man over six feet tall, weighing more than 200 pounds. INDIANA 10 JOSEPHINF "'When the report is fully made public,' said Dr. Evans, '1 think it can be greatly depended upon as being true. There is no question in my mind that the discovery of a serum with which to effectively vaccinate against tuberculosis must come before long. And it seems likely that these investigators have taken a great step forward.' " en.se, "The basis of the belief which Dr. Evans, who is himself an authority on tuberculosis, is ready to give the statement Is of the high standing of the institution from which the report emanates, and the confidence he reposes in the Judgment of Dr. Rand'e tRosenberger, the bacteriologist who is credited with this important discovery.

HOT k LUCRATIVE OFFICE INVESTIGATE MTUM CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 9.—Hal Chase, who jumped tho Now York Americana for the Paellle Coast league, today applied to the National Commission for re-instatement. His application will be acted upon at the next meet in gof the commission. The Week of Prayer service at the English Lutheran Church last night was attended by a large audience, all of the ministers excepting one being able to be present. Excellent addresses were made by Revs. Wilson, Quick, and Eaklns. Tonight th* final service of ihe week will be held In the same church, when Rev C. W. Miner will speak on "The Signs of the Times". ALDIHIMAN A1I>S IMtlSOXKH "In accordance with this opinion. the solicitor was instructed by council last night to prepare a bill for the amendment of the law of 1905 specifying 'that the population shall be computed on the basis of the last registration multiplied by live, instead of on the basis of the last census. There is no contention by councilmen that the S50 per thousand population is too meager a compensation but the fact that Butler has grown from a town of 11,000 to a town of 22,000 in six or eight years leaves the office of burgess on a wrong basis. If the burgess should draw a salary of $50 a year for eaeh thousand of the present population of Butler he would get about $1,100, which Is regarded as enough for this official, considering the work that is to be done. "Council last night left the whole matter open for the present. On motion of Mr. Dunn the solicitor was Jnplructed to draw an ordinance fixing the salary of the burgess at $G00, but action on the ordinance is to be delayed until it is determined what the legislature will do about the bill to be introduced by Oapt. Ira McJunkin. This bill, if acted upon at this session, jvill be disposed of before April 1, as the legislature adjourns April 15." It will .thus be seen that unless -the act is amended by the Legislature the next Burgess of Punxsutawney may receive only $260 per year salary. "When Solicitor Wilson told council that the fee system was not legal it was a ,little surprise. He cited the different acts of assembly from 1851, when the first law fixing the salary of the chief burgess was passed. Then the compensation was the same as rc ceived by a justice of the peace. A percentage of the tines and licenses was retained. In 187G the legislature passed a law empowering council to pass an ordinance to tlx the salary, and all costs to be paid into the borough treasury. Then in 1905 the salary was fixed at $50 for each thousand population, all costs to go to the borough. This amount, it will be conceded, would be more in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. The Town Council of Butler, Is threshing the subject out at present, also, and the city solicitor, John H. Wilson, Esq., has been authorized to draw up an amendment to the act of 1905 providing for a change of estimating the population. The Butler situation is reported in The Eagle as follows: Many Pennsylvania Burgesses find ing themselves In a similar plight, there is a movement pn foot to have . _.J.be net regulating ihe salary of bur - gesses amended at this session of the Legislature, so as to have the population based on the last registration multiplied by five. This would give Punxsutawney a population of over 19,000 and the salary of the Burgess therefore would be $500 ,ier year at least. of Punxsutawney, the chief official of many towns is paid on a percentage hi sis of the amounts taken in for tines, fees, licenses, etc., including a dollar lockup fee for each prisoner from without the borough limits. Notwithstanding the fact that the rneth- •ids of obtaining the Burgess' salary has the sanction of the Council it is held by many lawyers to be Illegal. It is stated that the salary of burpesses of town of over ,1,000 inhabitants was fixed i-1 1 »0r. by Act of Assem- bly, which Stipulates that the amount shall be not more than $50 per 1,000 population, taking the figures given hy the last Federal census ;us a basis. As Punxsutawney's population was given as less than 5,000 in the last census it will be seen that the Bur- about $400 per year. gess would be entitled to not over ?250 per year, whereas by '.he fee s.\.-tcm the Burgess lias been receiving Mcmtici'tt of M. li.

Tillman, of South Carolina, is flatly 'barged with having used his official position to further liis private ends in a sensational document that was given out at the 'White House last n ig'at. President Hoosevelt himself is the Senator's accuser. With the text of the Senator's own letters, lac-simile envelopes and protographic reproductions. the President sets out these allegations of fact: I hat Senator Tillman opened ne*;<»; iation.s for the purchase oi lands In Oregon. I hat th• • Senator used his government l ranking privilege in numerous I: Man -s for the conduct of private business. That to acquire the lauds at the price agreed on—$ J .50 per acre—it was necessary that the I'nited States government brim? action against the > rpoia»ion holding title to the land. That Senator Tillman thereupon began an agitation in th Senate by resolution and otherwise to force the government t<» institute these suits. That when innocent revelation of the Senator's iin. . ti.»n with the deal was made, he used his position in the Senate to denounce a.s a liar and a swindler the man with whom he entered in to he bargain. The charges are more ethical than criminal. Hu: tin J are none the less crushing to a man of Tillman's reputation for rugged honesty. it is shown in th- correspondence, for instance, thai the Senator, In writing to th« Oregon land agents, I eciiicall) poin;. ,1 out that any action he might take as a Senator would have no reference to lie private inter. st be had in the enterprise. This the President insists has ft i bearing on the issue, and one of his most eff. i tlve points is made on the following extract from Tillman's correspondence touching on this point. "Of course, if 1 deride to make the tender and go into the lawsuit, 1 will hear your proportion in mind, but 1 j would huv« you understan 1 that nothj ing 1 do here in the Senate will be I done because of any personal purchase of the land.
