HE WENT TO BED.
And That 10 why the Great Detroit Al.
derman Told No Tales.

Alderman "King" Jacob, of Detroit,
has swooped down on the Valley City
without the glorious tidings of his conn.,
ing being hearalded in advance. The
fact that the mighty J. Christ did not
make his intentions known to his many
worshipers in Grand Rapids, robs his
advent here of that pomp which should
have characterized his arrival. Brass
bands were 1T dicount yesterday and
several could have been secured at a
nominal cost. When he alighted from
the train he could have been borne on
the shoulders of sturdy friends 10 an
open hack, procession formed and
the famous alderman given an excel
lent opportunity to raise his hat and
distribute his etereotyped smile among
the great concourse of people which
habitually line the sidewalks. When
hls carriage had borne him to Sweets
he could have delivered q speech from
the veranda on "How to Get Street
Railway Franchises Passed Through
the Council" In that way proper honor
could have been shown him, but as It
is the whole thing has been spoiled by
his surrcptltious landing in the middle
of the night. Evidently for the pur-
pose of creating good impression, j..
Christ retired early at Sweets last
night, SO that his mission here could
not be ascertalned.

Grand Rapids needs 10 push into

c. ;. Hartman yesterday during . chat

tive.
Being asked how this Was to be ac-
oompglshed, Mr.. Hartman replied;
Last week spent four days IA De-

There Was no business and the retail
dealers were dong absolutely nothing,

and in explanation Mr.. Hartman then
added: The business men, merchants
of that city have formed = pool tor

cessful IN bringing IN great crowds ot
people from various iocslltles,a very low

vertlse literally, run SPECIAL saies, and
when the people come TO town they
buy the goods. 1t has been a great cue
cess there. aud there is no reason why
such q plan would not prove equally as
profitable TO Grand Rapids. Surely a
pool could easily be organized here for
such a purpose aud it would add great
ly to the commercial Interests OF the

Harry Hubbard Hegtns n suit Against
Harry Long By Capias.
Harry Hubbard swore out q capias
in the circuit i.'ourt yesterday for
the arrest of Harry Long, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Grand
Rapids Furniture Company. He be-
gins suit to recover damages to the ex-
tent of IS 90 tor alleged misrepresen-
tation In regard 10 the condition of the
company's business. The allegations
made IN the affidavit upon which the
capias was issued are that he was ap-
preached by Mr.. Long, who wanted
hum to take some stock IN the concern,
representing that he would realize 20
per cent from hrs investment. as the
stock was yielding that much annually.
He was also prevailed upon to enter
the employ Of the company and was
assured that he would make a success
ful salesman, after he had learned the
yudiments of the business. Mr.. Hub
hard had $500 to spare and he pur-
chased twenty shares of stock and conf
menced work in the shipping depart
ment at 50 q week. After ten weeks
experience in this department his
weekly stipend was increased to $40,
and was continued at that rate until
the business was closed by the sheriff
last Monday. He claims the represen-
tations made by Long were false and
he would Ike TO have his $500 returned
10 him and to be allowed fair wages
for the time he was working. Previous
o. engaging IN the furniture business
lie was earning from $40 to $50 week
as musician. This he relinquished
for smaller pay, hoping TO develop into
something more lucrative by the
change. Sheriff Mcqueen arrested Mr..
Long yesterday afternoon at the COM
pany's office on Canal-st.. and brought
him into court. Bail was fixed at
81 1000, which was promptly furnished,
and the respondent was released.
