The work of placing a new and |
larger boiler in the school house in this |
village has been commenced. The one |
put in the first instance proved much |
too small. 1t will be necessary to dis
miss school for several days in conse-
quence.-1thaca Jom7,m.
Prof. H. r. Pattengill well-known
in Gratiot county, having taught the
Ithaca schools several years, was i'm
town Wednesday visiting the Union
and Normal schools. Mr.. +. is now
editor of the School MOdcrator and is
making grand success of itaS an edu-
catienal journal. He favored this Office
with pleasant call.
1t is a positive fact that for the past
six months business at the Wright
House has been considerably beyond
the capacity of the house, and that ON
an average of II days out of each
month from twelve to fifteen guests
have been sent to the Sanitarium for
lodgings. This fact. coupled with the
fact that the cash receipts are more than
double what they were year ago. has
given rise to the question of an ad-
dition, and those who are in position to
know of what they speak, inform a..
that it is not at all improbable that 10y
next July there will be an addition OF
over go sleeping rooms.
Geo. r. Goliath of this village got
rOped into a game of cards on Wedncs-
day by two strangers, who plucked him
of some SOL. The gamblers took the
evening train for St Louis, but before
the train reached Alma. Mrs Goliath
communicated with Prosecuting Attor-
ney Clark by telephone at that place
requesting him to procure the arrest Of
the parties concerned. Sheriff Pect
chanced to he in Alma at the time, and
upon the arrival of the train there. he
boarded it and went on to St. Louis.
The men were identified and brought
back on the next train. They dis
gorged F3s of the money and were
allowed to depart. t.-Ibaca Jo,opah

strong talk of running an excursion
from Ithaca, Alma and St Louis for
the purpose of permitting those who
desire it to see the lady. We had Tine
pleasure, last season. of seeing Miss y.

of the finest performances it was ever
QUO fortune to witness We would aG-
wise all who can, to 90 to Saginaw
should the opportunity be afforded
them. As we go to press We are ma-
ble to announce the excursion as ccr-
tainty, but in ali probability it Will be
run.
1t seems a sure thing now that Alma
is to have the electric light, and the
parties interested are now receiving
bids Tor the putting in of same. The
bids are of two kinds. First. the form

the Sanitmium, Wright House. livery

incandescent lights. Second, to MAKE
