investigation was proposed. Deputy
Marshals Wilkersou and Garrison mount
ed steeds and gave pursuit, and appre-
hended the gentlemen from Cherokee
about eight miles from town. The bar

LOST CHILDREN.
Why so Many Little Ones Have Been
Lost and the Responsibility
of Parents

mere was proba no happier home in
America than th at OF Dir. James V. Allan,
of Philadelphia. There is probably none
more miserable to-day. Four weeks ago
Dir. Allan had a bright and attractive
child That was the pet OF the home, and the
Joy OF all bis friends. To-day no childish
voice is to be heard in the household, for
1t has been stilled in death. Mrs. Allan
noticed that the child was ailing, that it
tailed to take its food properly or with rel
Ism, and that something seemed TO be
rouollng 1t, but she thought it was only
OF q temporary nature and would soon
pass away. She now knows that then was
the time to have taken the disease before
IL nad obtained Judgement in the little
child's system.
Children require more careful attention
IMAM ADULTS. They are in the formative
period. The slightest influence affects I'M
pleasantly, and 1t is an easy matter 10 in
VIE disease. The fathers and mothers OF
America need not only to be very careful
OF t5ese things, but to see TO it that the
child is helped and strengthened by those
means which have been proven purest and
pest. Probably nothing or modern times
mas shown so much efficiency in this di-
rection as the wonderful VOlina Cordial,

all the leading cities of the land, and ls
being talked about so generally. The
nature OF the remedy itself, however, is
such that 1T is unusually adapie ed for the
stomachs OF children, while 1t is none the
less valuable when used by the fathers and
mothers. 1t is these qualities which are
making 1t so popular and it is these quail
tiles which are destined TO make it the
most popular medicine of modern times.
Any parent who willfully or carelessly
neglects the slightesL symptoms of disor-
der In his or her child. is criminally re-
sponslble for the sickness or death of thai
child should such melancholy event oc-
cur. We are compelled to believe that
where such neglect does occur it is
thoughtlessness, but the results are none
the less disastrous, and there are thou
sands of homes in America to-day that
mourn the loss of departed children
which might be made joyous and happy
by their presence, had the parents only
exercised the proper precautlon and care.
such facts should come as warning to
all parents and cause them 10 not only
guard their own health, but TO exercise
greatest care over the health and lives OF
The little dependent creatures, who can
not exercise such care over themselves

Miss Fanny Vaudrey, a lady of indie
pendent means, was summoned to the
Manchester Police Court the other day
for violent and indecent conduct in the
Church of ST. John the Evangelist,

the pew very loudly with her book. She
also cOughed in a peculiar manner
When the curate was beginning to read

clergyman, deliberately put her thumb TO
her nose. She had been guilty OF such
conduct again aud again. The defendant
said the people insulted her In church

Vaudrey was under deluslon. He adj
jOurned the case for month and remark
ed that she would certainly be fined If she
conducted herself IN this manner again.

County Pioneer Picnic.

The first annual picnic of the Craw-
ford County Pioneer Society was held
ut Portage Lake. last Friday, and was
day long to be remembered by those
who participated. Over five hundred
people were OH the ground before noon
ana the tables (which wore not half
sufficiently were loaded with provision
to which was given ample justice from
twelve to two o'clock, when in the
absence of J. o. Hadley, president, the
assembly was called to order by the
secretary, and r. s. Rabbit elected
President pro tenn. The work of the
several committees had been but lily
performed, and no music had been pro-
vided, but everybody seemed to enjoy
themselves. The exercises were open
ed by an impressive prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Phelps, followed by paper well
filed with pioneer thoughts by NJ. ID.
Osband, Esq, of Frederic. Speeches
were made by Main j. Connine, VIM.
G.. Johnson and J. Maurice Finn, and
an excellent paper was presented by
Mrs. F. l.. Barker descriptive of the
settlement end progress of the town
paper prepared by o. J. Bell, our
efficient clerk and register, giving the
number of acres homesteaded each
year since the first entry in 1870, an
epitome of which we give elsewhere.
J. Steckert, A. j. Rose, Prof Lanke-
nav and r.. Hanson were called for
and each gave brief address full of
good cheer for the pioneer heroes of
the county.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President. s. Harder.
Secretary-Wm. A. Masters.
Treasurer-M. ID. Osband.
Vice-Presidents-W. e. johnson, of

mittee for the ensuing year.
1t was decided to hold the next pic
mic. Aug &c, 1882, on the north bank
of the Au Sable river at IA point known
as the picnic grounds near Shellen-
berger's landing. The weather was de-
lightful though warm, and the time
passed in visiting. boating and bathing
till night warned all to seek their
homes, declaring IL was good to be
there.

The republican state convention ut
Grand Rapids filed our highest con-
ception of what political convention
should be. 1t was the earnest work of
800 representative republicans who
had the good of the people at heart
without regard to personal claims or
machine politics. The sole questions
under discussion were, not what the
candidates had done for the party, not
what claims could be made by the
friends of this man or that. not how
much doodle" will he be able to put
into the canvass; but what is best for
the State of Michigan, as desired by the
republicans of the State. The people
have spoken, and the ticket selected
shows that their voice has been heard.
The platform adopted is plain and full
and fearless. There Is no bargain and
sale in it; no bidding for dishonest sup
port, no trucking to this faction or
that, but has the ring of honesty of
purpose from A to u, and the candi-
dates are all men who can stand square
ly on the platform and protect every
plonk. There is that in the platform
and ticket throughout which com
mands the respect OF every citizen Of
Michigan. and the ticket will be elect
ed Ia November by an old time major
ity.
