Results in Michigan.
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 29.—In-
complete returns which are consider-
ed fairly representative of the vote
cast in Tuesday's statew ide primaries
indicate that Amos H. Musselman or
Grand Rapids, defeated Secretary of
State Fred C. Martindale ' several
thousand votes for the \ -blican
gubernatorial nomination. 'very
congressman who sought re .nitia-
tion with the probable exception of
one, and the bare possibility of two,
has been successful in his quest.
There was only one contest for the
United States senatorial nomina
tion and Alfred Lucking, democrat,
is leading George P. Hummer of
Holland.
Almost rivalling in interest the
fight for the republican gubernator-
ial nomination was the struggle for
the democratic nomination for may-
or of Detroit. Returns partly com-
plete this morning show that Mayor
William B. Thompson is leading Jus-
tice E. Jeffries, but the contest Is
close and a recount is generally pre-
dicted. All of the Detroit alderman
accused of bribery sought renomina-
tion. Several were victorious, it is
believed. Thomas H. Lynch, demo-
crat, in the Fifteenth, had no oppo-
sition.
Hugh Sheppard, leading figure in
Detroit's graft crusade, had two op-
ponents for the republican nomina-
tion for prosecuting attorney, but he
won out by a heavy majority.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY
KIDNEYS
Tahlequah People Should I,earn to
Keep the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have a big work to
do. All the blood in the body is
coursing through the kidneys con-
stantly to be freed of poisonous mat-
ter. it is a heavy enough task when
the kidneys are well, but a cold,
chill, fever or some thoughtless ex-
posure is likely to irritate, inflame
and congest the kidneys and inter-
rupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins
and is often accompanied by some
irregularity of the urine—too fre-
qquent passages, sediment or reten-
tion. Thousands testify to tho won-
derful merit of Doan's Kidney Pills,
a remery for the kidneys only, that
has been used in kidney troubles 50
years. You will make no mistake
in following this Tahlequah citizen's
advice.
George W. Benge, 220 Downing
at., Tahlequah, Okla., says: "Dur-
ing the past six mouths I have used
several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
and feel greatly benefited. I can
highly recommend this remedy, pro-
cured at Crew Bros.' Drug Store, to
all kidney sufferers as I believe it
to be a cure for kidney disease."

Dr. T. J. Bond returned yesterday
from Hill Sanitarium, Ardmore,
Okla.. where he had taken his son
Wm. R. Bond, of Moody, for treat-
ment for the cure of the morphene
habit. A complete cure was ac-
complished in less than ten days
from the day they started. Dr. Bond
says he cannot speak too highly of
this institution as he found every-
thing there as it had been represent-
ed. Any person is at liberty to con-
sult him as to it. He says it is a
safe and sure cure for the drug
habit.
CLOSE RACE IN
SOl'TH

elected over his two opponents.

urer. Representative Elilerbe, in

Thirty-four thousand persons par-
tlcipaod In the function. Nearly
half o? them wore blue coats and
red jerseys or bonnets with the red
ribbon, so familiar on the streets
of the cities of the world where tho
army .s established.
The body of the late general, in
a plain pine coffin, rested high upon
white catafalque in front of the
big platform across the end of the
hall, where all the chief officers of
the organization were seated and
where 40 bands of music were mass-
ed. The crimson flag of the army
of fire and blood," which the gen-
eral unfurled on Mount Calvary, was
planted above the coffin. A bank of
flowers, composed of the ttrlbutea
sentt by members of royalty and
many societies, were behind itt Flags
of various nations in which the com-
mander-in-chief had waged cam-
paigns, and the standards of the old-
er divisions of the army were ar-
rayed In front of the platform. The
service itself was not only a memor-
ial but a mammoh meeting of
prayer and praise.
The most solemn moments of the
long meeting were when the cofTiu
was borne along the center ot the
hall to the music of the dead march
In "Saul." A small procession rep-
resented many branches of the
army's activitly, carrying the flags
of their respective countries, preced-
ed It. immediately before the body
brigadier bore the crimson flag
which the general raised at Jerusa-
lem and under which he died at
Hadley Wood, and following him
marched officers from foreign coun-
tries. Then came the new general
of the army, Bramwell Booth, with
his wife, both wearing uniforms of
commissioners, and membors of the
Booth families.
Commissioner Lawley, the late
general's right hand man, made a
brief extemporaneous prayer and
this was followed by the hymn "Pass
Me Not, O Living Saviour." Com-
missioner Adelaide Cox offered pray-
er and, with a great number of
voices, every one repeated the Lord's
prayer. A brigade of Salvation
choiristers sang "When the Roll is
Called in Heaven," after which
Commissioner Higgins led in respon-
sive reading from Revelations,
*hich was followed by thr sluing of
another hymn. The congregation
then read silently from books sev-
eral exttracts of the late general's
writings, the reading being inter-
spersed by hymns, one sung by chil-
dren and another by all the women
in the hall.
Striding back and forth on the
platform, General Bramwell Booth,
swinging his arms above his head,
led the singing, pausing frequently
to remind sinners that the dead
general had given his life to saving
them. The revival service was
concluded with the singing of "His
Blood Can Make the Vilest Clean;
His Blood Avails for Me."
Then came the most Impressive
feature of the solemnities. All the
soldiers of the army rose and recited
the covenant of fidelity, pledging
themselves to be faihful soldiers of
ho Lord. The catafalque then was
wheeled slowly down the aisle while
the great gathering sang "When the
Roll is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be
There."
The coffin was placed in a hearse
and conveyed to the Salvation Army
headquarters, where is will rest un-
til taken to Abney Park Cemeery
