IN ROMAN STYLE.
An owosso Delegation with Banners
Visit the State Legislature.

From the State Republican.
1t is an. enterprising delegation from
Owosso that is lobbying at the capitol.
This morning the citizens entering the state
house were confronted by fiaring banners
leaning on the railing of the steps to the
main entrance inscribed as follows:
''Our motto is, the will of the people
should rule America"
1--WE pray for protection at the hands OF
the senate OH bill No. 274, which passed the
house against the wishes of 30 per cent OF
the voters of the Owosso union school dis
trict"
mon PARTISAN! We pray for an in
crease of advantages for the rising genera
ton rather than diminishing them for edu-
cation"
''We pray for the one half mile compro-
mise that will serve the best interests for
the greatest number, as our petition sub
stantiates."
On asking one of the standard bearers
the meaning of it all he replied. "a few
farmers i'm our district want it divided, and
the people have rose up in body to cry out
against It." 1t called to mind the days OF
the Roman senate. The delegation is evi-
dently wide awake. and it will go hard but
they carry their point.

LATER,

JoHNsTowS, PA, june 3-The situation
mere on the I'd, has not changed to any ex-
tent and the estimate of loss of life at
10000 does not seem to have been exagger-

At Noodvale the percentage OF death is
even greater than that ut Johnstown.
Kernville has only house or two as a
monument to its former respectable pro-
portions. Cambria City is not even ghost
