Hastings Banner: The many friends in
this city of Geo. M. Dewey Jr,, of OwossO,
will regret to learn that he has been COM
PEELED to resign his position at West Point
on account of physical disability. George
gained his honOrs at competitive examin-
alton and made splendid record while at
the academy.
1t is probable that the recommendation of
Rudolph K. Newton for West Point will not
be made in any event as the physical exam
nation was not conclusive. No action will
be taken by COgressman Youmans until
July. In the event of an appointment from
the list examined, M. X. Osburn, of this
city, probably will be recommended.
Chas. Robinson, of Bridgeport, Saginaw
Co.. is reported to have been selected by
Congressman Youmans as the cadet to enter

remembered that the board of examiners at

recommendation as none of the class were
considered to have passed the required ex-
aminatiOns.
Electric light in the Estey Manufacturing
Co. plant, is the latest move on the part of
this enterprising corporation. The dynamo
is run by the engine that prOpels the heat
ing and ventilating machinery and is lOcat-
ed in the basement of that portion of the
factory built last summer. In order to cut
up the logs now in the yards this season, 1t
was found necessary to run the saw mill
day and night, so the illumination of mill
and yards will permit the steady employ
ment of 20 men at time or the labor of 40
men per ordinary days work. The plant
was put in by Grand Rapids firm.
The Y. M. c. A. state convention which
will be held in this city the second week in
October, so says Secy L0hnes, will bring
together three or four hundred delegates,
all of them enthusiastic Christian workers.
There undoubtedly will be representatives
from the national Y. NJ. c. A. committee
present and also college secretaries. If
either of the new churches are completed, it
is probable that the sessions will he held in
them. Otherwise the Baptist church and
opera house will be called into requisitiOn
to accommodate the sections. No other town
the size of OwOssO has ever undertaken the
task of entertaining the state convention,
but with the energy of the Y. M. G. A.
workers and hospitality of the citizens the
convention will be made q great success.
This is the third time Owosso has asked for
