Eccentric Old Man Lets Property
Go to Ruin After Family Quar
rel—Known as “The Bear."
SPRING I.AKK, MICH. Au* 2
Stricken with paralysis and unable to
utter n word. William H. Hell, pioneer
lumberman, one of the wealthiest men
In the village and known all over
Ottawa County hk an eccentric. Ilea
at the point of death In hi* ram
shackle hut on the shore of Spring
Lake, hi* condition mourned by none
save a relative who arrived recently
from Portland. Oreg . and a few sym
pathetic neighbors.
His father came to Michigan from
t'anada m 1564, when the lumber
business was at Its height, to take
charge of the large interest* that fell
to him ihrough the tragic drowning
of his brother-in-law, James Barber,
one of the first men to engage In
the nimher business In this section of
the State,
With his younger brother, Edward
B. Bell, who died recently in Wash
ington, where he was acting as offi
cer in toe Capitol Guard** by up-
pointmen; of Senator Smith, William
H Hell . ospered until 1871, when the
hrotheis quarreled and the mill was
shut ciown, never to run again, In
spite of the effort* of business nego
tiates and relatives to effect a recon
ciliation
What liie quarrel was about no one
has ever known It was always «
sealed book with both of them, anti
some believe it was the questions put
to him on this point that caused the
elder Bell to shut himself in his home,
close the prosperous store adjoining
it, and permit everything to fall Into
decay.
Edward stalled out to make his
own wav In the world and spent
many years in the employ of The
Grand Rapids II* raid and The Even
ing Press. He was getting old by
this time The world had been un
kind to him. and his Washington ap
pointment by Senator Smith tamo a*
a godsend.
Offsrs for Mill Refused.
Offer after offer was made to his
eccentric brother for the mill Itself
the wagons, the old boats stored with
in it, the valuable machinery, but
William Hell turned a deaf ear to all
of them Even after lumbering was
on the decline, and the raw' material
had to be shipped in by rail, he wu-
offered $9,500 for the mill, but turned
the offer down and drove the insis
tent buyer from his door.
He kept everything. The horses
grew old and fat and died off one
one. without doing a stroke of work
sfter the closing of the mill. When
he last of these was gone Hell shut
himself up for good In his house, and
only appeared to carry home provi
sions. He had no intimates and but
few acquaintances.
From his long winter sojourns In
his barricaded house he earned the ti
tle of “The near,” and In spite of his
*ata! Illness the natives stlJl mention
him by that name.
For the last 40 years he has lived
the life of a hermit a« completely as
If he were buried in the mountains.
He never ventured In society, al
though nt the time of his quarrel he
was one of the most popular and flu
est-looking men In Spring Lake He
never ventured to the polls. He lived
on the scantiest of food, and was
never seen to smile. On warm days
he would take his rustic seat in one
of the apple tree* overlooking the
lake and sit for hours viewing his de
caving buildings and gazing up the
splendid view along Spring Lake
The old hermit's hours are num
bered. and with his death It is ex
pected the ruins will he cleared away
and the property sold for building
purposes. Be-1 View, as the place
is called, is one of the prettiest points
on the lake, and many wealthy re
sorters living in the locality have
been waiting for the old man's death
to submit their bids on the property

Assistant Secretary of State Author of Idea to
Honor Memory of America’s Finder.
Assistant Secretary ofg State Os
borne suggests that on tne first ship
passing through the Panama Canal
the bone* of Columbus rhall be car
ried from ocean to ocean. It is an
idea which will appeal to the senti
mental sympathies of all the world.
The obtaining of the bones of Co
lumbus for this trip Is thl next ques
tion, and it is only after a trip to
Santo Domingo that the Secre^ry
makes this suggestion
While on this Journey he saw the
crypt in which the bone.-* are kept,
and hereby hangs an interesting tale
of the adventures of the bones of
thl* most adventurous of men.
On the day before his death in
Valadolid, May 20, 1506, he added a
codicil to his will In which he re
quested that his bones be buried in
some part of the New World which
[he had discovered. This was not,
rhowever, done for many years after
ward. Hie body was first deposited
In the Convent of the Franciscans at
Valadolid. and in 1583 transferred to
the grotto of the Convent of the Car
thusians of Santa Maria at Seville
Meanwhile the gr*at Cathedral ot
| Santo Domingo had been started in
1514. It was completed in 1540, and
some time between 1541 and 1549 his
body was taken to Santo Domingo,
together with the body of Diego
Colon, his son. who died in LV/6 Toe
Spaniards had taken the other leaden
coffin in the previous century. This
little closet was separated from the
other by a wall five inches thick, and
was larger than the outer crypt.
It contained a well-preserved
leaden coffin, eight inches high, fif
teen inches long and seven inches
wide. From inscriptions on this
leaden box it was deduced that the
bones of the real Columbus had not
been taken away In 1795, but must
have remained here, while the body
of his son was removed.
The then Achblshop of Ban Do
mingo, Grope Roque Cocchia, an
nounced this important discovery and
made an examination of the box in
the presence of a large number of
representatives of the Government
and resident consuls of other nations.
All were convinced that these were
the true remains of Columbus, and
that those removed by the Spaniards
must have been those of his son,
Diego Colon.
In the course of the investigation a
third crypt was found, containing a
leaden coffin with the inscription,
‘ El Almirante Don Luis Colon Duquo
de Jamaica Marques de Veragua,”
plainly the remains of Columbus’
grandson.

UTS FOR
New Safeguard Now Established
Against Entry Into the United
States Through Mails.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Bugs and
plant diseases that expect to stow
away in the mails and thus gain en
try to this country to raise Cain with
the fanning interests are now con
fronted at the Department of Agri
culture with a cul-de-sac from which
there is no exit except through the
crematory.
The new safeguard is the “quaran
tine room " that has just been estab
lished in the office of seed and plant
introduction It has worked only
once in the few days since it was
built.
The quarantine room is a harmless
looking structure. It is just a little
glass-inclosed cage about 8 by 12
feet 1 in one of the big offit> rooms of
the new building on Fourteenth
street.
It is bug-proof and glass inclosed,
except for wire netting over the door
and windows forty-mesh netting
almost as close as cheese cloth and
too small to allow the passage of
anything much bigger than a typhoid
germ.
Every foreign plant that is mailed
to the l’nited States has to be ad
dressed to th*. Secretary of Agricul
ture and go to this room. This is
the result of the recently passed
Federal plant quarantine law

TO CO-OPERATE
0NLAND CREDITS
Plan Is Expected to Greatly Ben
efit Farmers of Big Agri
cultural State.
TOPEKA, KANS, Aug Z.—The
bankers of Kansan are not going to
wait for the report of the Federal
Commission studying the syatem of
farm credits abroad.
A committee of the banker* is now-
drawing up a plan of co-operation
which is expected to meet the needs
of the farmers in the way of land
credits
The bankers believe that the first
idea should be to develop the land as
much as possible in the way of pro
viding farm experts, simplification of
marketing, seed selection, soil Im
provement and crop rotation, and the
expansion of cattle raining and dairy
ing.
Kansas is so largely an agricultural
State that the bulk of the banking
business is with farmers. Naturally
it is to the Interest of the bankers to
develop to as great an extent as pos
sible the State’** farm resource*, and,
In developing them, devise a system
of credits which will be to the farm
ers what an elastic currency system
is to the banks.
In several counties bankers have
taken the lead In organising county
agricultural societies to provide for
the service* of a farm expert and the
committee which Is now at work on
the co-operation program Is com
posed of bankers from counties where
these farm experts now are at work.
These farm demonstrators already
have shown that their work Is the
most profitable investment the bank
ers and farmers could make.
In Leavenworth County, which was
the first to employ an investigator
and adviser, hundreds of farmers have
changed their methods on the advice
of the expert, and the results, as re
ported to the County Agricultural So
ciety. already are apparent in the way
of increased yields of fields or great
improvement In other ways.
The State Banking Department,
working in conjunction with the
bankers, will have drawn up any new
laws that are necessary to further the
plane of co-operation.

SAYS MODERN LIFE ‘EATS'
CHILDREN IN BIG CITIES
GREELEY, COLO.. Aug. 2 In an
address before the summer session of
the State Teachers’ College. Dr. P. P
Claxton, United State* Commission
er of Education, said.
"More than 65 per cent of our
children are educated in the rural
schools and they form a large part
of our population in the cities. Prob
ably no city produces as many citi
zens as it kills, and the modern civ
ilization. with its complex problems
and its nerve strain, really eats chil
dren in the city."
He advocated giving the rural
teacher a home and a tract of land.
body of his grandson, Luis Colon,
was also taken to Santo Domingo
after his death in 1572, but there is
no record of the precise date of the
transfer. The bones of Columbus
h^d been deposited in tho sanctuary
to the right of the main altar of the
Cathedral, where they lay undis
turbed for many years.
Moved th* Wrong Body.
Toward the close of the eighteenth
century political events compelled
Spain to cede Hispaniola, as this part
of her possessions in the New World
was then called, to France, in accord
ance with the treaty of July 22. 1795.
But the national pride of the Span
iards would not permit them to allow
the bones of Columbus to lie in the
possession of the alien On thie ac
count, in December, 1795, the dkch
at the right of the altar of the Ca
thedral of San Domingo, in which
tradition placed the body of Colum
bus. was opened, and the leaden cof
fin found in a crypt there was taken
to Havana.
There was a heavy leaden cotfin
outside of the smaller one. all gilded
over, but marked by no sign what
ever. and this was taken with great
military and religious ceremonies and
placed by the aide of the large altar
of the Cathedral of Havana, January
l 19, 1796 In 1822 this place was
marked by a stone bearing a relief,
portrait of Columbus, for they thought
i they had the body of Columbus there, !
Cathedral Plan Altered,
Investigation has shown mat the
plan of the cathedral in San Domingo !
rad been materially altered between!
1541 and 1795, which probably led to ;
the error, for when 82 years later:
some laborers were repairing the floor!
of the sanctuary' of the Cathedral of i
San Domingo (September 10. 1877) i
they stumbled upon a little crypt to;
j the righ. of the targe altar, between j
the wall and the crypt from which the
bu» in their cathedral in Havana, so
in the autumn of 1890 a special ex
amination was made. On January 11,
1891, all was laid before the Minister
of the Interior of San Domingo and
the various resident consuls from dif
ferent countries. The box was then
sealed up by the Archbishop, the dust
placed in a crystal vase, and a silver
plate put on the old leaden coffin, so
that it could never again be mistaken.
The inscriptions on the leaden coffin
were quite plain when the incrusta
tions of time were removed, and es
tablished the identity of the bones
found in it. On the inside of the top
of the box was the plainest and moot
unmistakable of all the Inscriptions,
giving the full title, the “Illustrious
Baron Cristoval Colon,” and on the
back and sides are similar inscrip
tions proving the genuineness of the
coffin and Its contents.
There can, therefore, be no doubt
that if Secretary Osborne's suggestion
is accepted, the real bones of the real
Columbus will go upon a voyage such
as he may have dreamed about, but
which could not be realized until tho
Panama Canal was built, he will have
found a route to tho Indies, by sail
ing west.

Doctors Say That Indian’s Chang*

Nervous Disorder.
GOLDEN’D ALE. WASH., Aug. 2,-e
The recant row In the Indian Settle-
ment on the head of Squaw Creek, la
Eastern Klickitat, In which Pete*
Tumhax, an aged Indian rancher, waa
attacked by Charlie Plstolhead with
an ax, hae developed the fact that
Tumhax, who was suspected of being
a leper, is afflicted with a disease that
Is slowly causing his skin to turn
white.
An examination of the Indian fol
lowed when the Sheriff had him dis
robe to exhibit wounds which he al
leged the other Indian had mada >n
his back.
Covered With Whits Patehes.
It was found that Tumhax, who ii
a dark, bronae-colored aborigine, was
covered with Irregular white patches
of skin, which gave him the ap
pearance of a pinto pony. Pinkish
white spots on the side of hla head
and under hla Jaw, which were at first
thought to be birthmarks, were then
noticed.
A physician was called, who sail
the Indian was afflicted with a nerv
ous disorder known as leucopathta,
sometimes acquired by a severe fright
or shock to the nervous system, and
that If he lived long enough the skin
would turn white all over his body.
The physician who examined the In
dian said that similar cases occur fre
quently among the negroea In ths
South.
Indian Is Unperturbed.
Tumhax is 67 years old, and save
that the white spots first began to
appear on his body eight years sgo
after a severe sickness, which, ha
soys, was caused by a dose of strycn-
nine out of a bottle of alcohol given
him by a sheepherder, and from which
he drank.
Tumhax does not seem to be at all
concerned about turning Into a "pale
face, and says that the matter does
not cause him any discomposure.
