"Gone With Handsomer Man."

Durand, Mich., May 1.- When Wm. Skedule, the inspector of water tanks on the Grand Trunk road, returned to his home in this village Tuesday he found this note on the table: "Will, I shall never return to you. It will do you no good to look for me. Are you surprised? I wish you success." During the intervals during which her husband was absent from home on other parts of the division she frequently entertained a man whom she told the neighbors was her brother. He is said to be a married man living in Battle Creek. She left with $200 belonging to her husband, who vows vengeance if he ever comes across the man who wrecked his home.

Jumped to His Death.

Jackson. Mich., May 1. - Israel V. Cookingham, aged about 80 years, jumped from the tower of No. 1 fire engine house shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, and was instantly killed. The deed was the result of worry over the necessity of moving to another house, and the fear that the family could not hold their boarders in another location.
