Changed Her Plans.

Detroit Free Press.
A woman entered q grocery on
Michigan avenue one day last week
in something of a hurry and said to
the proprietor:
"I want a glass fruit jar holding q
quart and you may put q half o
pound of gunpowder into it."
"Yes'm. New way to do up late
peaches?"
"Nc, sir. It's way to do up q
dog"
"HOw?"
"My boy Willie has got dog under
our barn and he won't come out.
Willie is going to blow him up"
"Great SCOTS, ma'am, but If you
explode this powder under the barn
you'll set the building on fire!"
"Would 1t really?"
"Of course it would"
willie will be terribly disappoint-
ed.n
"Butyou'll save the barn."
"Well," she said, as she picked up
her money, I'll have to change my
plans. I'll buy him an augur and
let him bore holes in the floor and
pour hot water down on the dog"

Some Midnight Shooting.

Shortly after midnight, Saturday
morning, occurred mysterious
shooting ARRAY at the bagnio of
Sadie Rays, on East street. 1t ap-
pears that two or three young fellows
were raising rumpus and did up a
hack driver whom they called John,
when the latter drew his gun and
fred two shots, soaring off his az
saulters. The hackman evidently lit
out with his team, for when Officer
James Brown put in his appearance
and attempted to locate the shooting,
all was still and serene about the
place. The names of the parties could
not be learned and the affair Is pretty
we'll hushed up.

What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The Callaghan ticket so far as prepared
and concocted in the secret chamber Of
the ring, is announced in the Express this
morning.
1t consists of Callaghan for mayer;
Rische for collector; Shardein for mar
shall; Prefer for engineer; Cohen for au-
ditor; Devine for recorder; Frasch for
assessor; Lockwood for alderman at
large.
The balance of the smallpox ticket will
break out as the malady advances in vir-
ulence.
Let the people note the fact that this
is new method of getting ticket before
the people; 1t is In perfect keeping with
the way in which our city affairs are
run.
Our city government is conducted upon
the dark lantern plan; only the inner
circle of the ring are permitted to know
how things are done.
The difference between the people call
ing out candidates and the ring sneaking
them into the announcement column OF
the Express, should bring every honest,
intelligent voter to his feet.
