Ovid Register Union: One of those pleasant
events which create intense excitement in
fashionable circles took place al the residence
of Richard Lawrence, Owosso, Monday at II a.
m. Weddings are matters of great concern, es-
pecially to the fairer sex, and the marriage of
Annie, first daughter of Mr.. r. Lawrence, to DR..
W. p. Beach, of Ovid, was no exception to the
rule. The bride for the last three years has
been employed in teaching in some of the best
schools, and is one of the most charming young
ladies of Owosso. Mr.. Beach has long been a
resident Of our beautiful town of Ovid and is
deservedly popular as good citizen and profess
sional man. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. E. b. Bancroft Mr. and Mrs. Beach
have gone north on their wedding tour, visiting
all the most delightful spots in Northern Michi-
gan; they will also be at the meeting OF the

Michigan Farmer: Mr. L. w. Barnes, OF By
ron, Shiawassee Co., writes that owing to being
alone this season, and also being obliged to take
part as an Official in the State Fair, he will not
be able to exhibit his Poland Chinas and Merino
sheep this season. He says further: "Our
stock has done Well through the summer and
is In fine condition. Had we fitted for show
could have made a finer exhibit of Poland
Chinas than ever before. Raised over 100 pigs
this season; have IS now on hand and for sale.
A grand lot, sired by such noted boars as Luck
1895; True Blue 19477; Coras Luck 20735; Grand
Luck 2l415; Brilliant, Vol. 10; Storm Prince,
Vol. 13, and Corwin U. S., Vol. 10. We have
about 40 pigs sired by the last named boar
Having decided not to show this season we sold
him to s. z. Shellenberger of Camden, o., the
last Of April for 500, and understand he has
since been sold to Missouri breeder for $500
He was great yearling, large finely finished
and richly bred We can furnish stock OF al
most any age from three months TO four years
old, and will sell to suit the times. Any one
wishing Poland Chinas cannot afford to miss
this opportunity. We also offer 100 Merino ewes
of all ages from one year upwards, and there
are some good ones-not pampered, but in good,
strong every day condition, right to improve.
Also about twenty rams"

Lives and Leaves.
BY ANNA X. COLE.

Our lives are like the leaves of autumn,
Live In glory, fade and die,
CT just like the flowers OF summer,
Bloom, then dead, decaying lie.
Oh, they bloomed so sweet and fragrant
In the gentle summer breeze,
Then their time doth come for parting
AS it does with autumn leaves.
When in glory they were reigning,
Clothing hill and forest fair
With their azure hues so radiant,
Radiant "obes they proudly wear.
But the frosty breeze will rob them,
Strip the trees, so brown and sere,
Then doth cease the lives of pilgrims
When their toll rs ended here.
Yes, the autumn frosts will rob them
OF their leaves and tendrils fair,
Thus our friends are daily passing
From the world of woe and care.
Fast the day of life's departing,
Soon it will pass TO darkest night,
But so live when time of parting
We can dwell where all is bright.
When few more summers passeth
We then, too, may pass to rest.
With the angels live to dwell there,
Live to dwell with loved ones blest.
But each time a loved one leaves us
For Home so bright and fair,
Causes heartaches, signs and weeping,
Causes trouble, signs and care.
Childhood friends how oft we seek them
For one word our souls to cheer,
They, just like the leaves of autumn,
Have departed, are not here.
Then, oh dwell in joy and pleasures
While we live these lives below,
Death will end our woe and sorrow,
Then of peace wen ever know.

ORDERED TO SUSPEND
Strikers Compel Teamsters on
Mckenzie Avenue to Quit
Work
The Improvement Of the Street
Must be Completed by
July
Neither Side Gives Any Sign
or Evidence of Yield
ing

Work was entirely suspended yesterday
on the Mckenzie avenue contract. Ever
since the Inauguration OF the strike last
Monday morning number of teams have
been engaged at the west end Of the
street in grading. A visit was made
by the strikers Tuesday to the men
working for the purpose Of inducing them
to quit, but they refused. The men and
teams were still working yesterday morn
ing when the strikers visited them for the
second time and compelled the men hold
ing the plows and scrapers to stop work
The foreman Of the work then
held the plow but a demand was made for
him to suspend and he complied. The
teamsters could do nothing without the
help Of the holders Of the scrapers and
plows and they were ordered to quit, thus
practically suspending all work on the
street.
Neither side shows any signs of weaken
ing and It Is impossible 10 tell how
the matter will end. BY the terms Of the
contract the improvement OF Mckenzie
avenue must be completed on or before
July /, and there is still vast amount Of
work to do on the street. II laborers are
imported and put to work there will
surely be trouble

Liberians Are WronRed

LONDON, June 11-Advices from the
west coast Of Africa state that much ex-
element has been aroused in Monrovia,
the capital of Liberia, by the news that
the French have seized part OF the
Liberian coast, near Cape Palmas.
An appeal will probably be made to the
United States against this action on the
part OF the French, who claim that the
territory in question is within the shore
OF the French.
The Liberians have held much of the
coast now claimed by the French, almos
since the foundation OF the republic, anC
are settled there and engaged In trade
Should the French put garrisons and Gus
tom houses in the ports on the coast
trouble will no doubt ensue.
rhe Liberians have no power but tn,
United States o look to for assistance
The French have, for long time, beel
regarding the African republic with mucl
Jealousy and have made encroachment
on its Interior boundaries. This, how
ever, Is the first move on the coast.

SUDDEN DEPARTURE
]. II. wilmott, Proprietor of the BodeRs
Saloon, Leaves the City

The main topic OF conversation on the
street yesterday was the sudden depart
ure Of j. II. Wlmott, proprietor Of the
Royal Bodega saloon and ex-chief Of the
fire department. II was known for some
time that WilmOtt was deeply in debt,
and only last Monday he filed a chattel
mortgage on his establishment for 81 800
but no one. for moment thought that
he would ever leave. The date for the
payment Of license came due Tuesday,
and Wilmott's inability 10 raise the re-
quired sum weighed heavily on his mind.
Early yesterday morning he jumped into
a carriage and drove to New Whatcom,
where he boarded the steamer City OF
Seattle. He evidently went ashore at
Port Townsend and took the steamer for
Victoria and Is, no doubt, by this time
amusing himself in Canada.
Wilmott's departure caused universal
regret. He was very popular, had many
friends and was liked by almost every
body. As chief OF the fire department, he
was faithful, efficient officer. He was
! public spirited and was always found In
! the front ranks when any proposition was
| advanced for the Advancement Of the city.

VEXED QUEx4ON Settled
Grazing Privileges on the Crow
Reservation Awarded to
the Highest Bidder
Nearly Two Million Acres of
Land Relinquished to the
Government
Ex-senator Pierce, of Dakota,
to Be Minister to
China

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE interior de-
partment, acting upon the recommended
tion Of the Indian Office, has adopted a
new departure in the management Of
grazing matters upon the Crow reserva-
tion in Montana. The Crow Indians are
authorized by the act of congress OF April
IL, 1882, to permit cattle grazing upon
their reservation, but under previous ar
rangements much friction between cattle
men resulted from indiscrminate pastur-
age. Portions Of the reservation set apart
for grazing prove a fruitful source OF
trouble and annoyance, not only to the
agency management but to the depart
ment Indian officers.
To obviate these difficulties in the future
and to give Indians the benefit of the ad :
vantages resulting from competition be-
tween cattlemen for these grazing privil-
eges the whole Of the unOccupied portion
of the reservation has been divided into
five grazing districts, and proposals for
grazing the same Invited by advertise
ment.
Proposals received were opened at the
Crow agency. The permit agreement,
covering each of the said districts, Is
executed by Agent lyman with the hlgh-
est bidder for each OF said permits, to be
| in force for period OF three years from
| July |, proximo. These agreements are
now before the board for approval.
1t is believed that the new arrangement
will relieve the department OF much an
nOyance and trouble, and be decidedly
better for the Indians and better for thu
cattlemen.
1t is significant that the whole business
Is under the direct control OF the depart
ment, and by the terms of the agreemen
executed with cattlemen, cattle can be re
moved from the reservation at any tint
by the department for any violation OF thu
| stipulations in the same.
The improved holdings and the herds o
the Indians are to be at all times KEEP
secure from interference by stock com
pany employees and cattlemen, and graz
Ing ranges occupied by cattle belonging tC
the Indians are to be kept undisturbed
The pecuniary advantages derived by the
Indians are also considerable, as they re-
ceive about 5000 more under this new
arrangement than under the old system
Notwithstanding the fact that title TO al
area OF about 100000 acres upon th'
western portion Of the reservation Is re
linQuishcd to the government.

Thousand Dollars

New YORK, June 11-William II. Forest,
the bookkeeper of the Churchman office,
who was sent to the Elmira reformatory
by Judge Cowing, in the court of general
sessions, for forgery, made away with
much more money than was at first sup

check. which usually amounted to 500
and hand it to one of the firm Of NJ. II
Mallory & Co., to be signed. Several time'
he raised 800 check TO 81, 200 and cleared
81 600 for himself by the operation. Fores
admits stealing $500. When the ac
countants are through the exact amoun
of his wrong doings will be ascertalned

SHOT TO DEATH
The Terrible Deed Committed by a
Crazy Man

WILMINGTON, n. c., June 1l-Benjamin
Matthewson was shot to death on Market
street today by Robert M. Trask. Mat
thewson is a stranger to Trask and the
latter was undoubtedly insane. Matthew
son was walking with a friend and met
Trask, who without any warning drew a
pistol on him. He called on Officer Terry
and told him the man had drawn pistol
on him. Trask thereupOn turned and
pointed the pistol at Terry, who, instead
OF clubbing the man, attempted to get at
his own pistol.
Trask then fired two shots In quick sue
cession at Matthewson, the last ball strik-
ing the unfortunate man in the forehead
and passing through the brain. He then
turned upon Terry and fired at him, the
ball grazing his neck. Matthewson died
almost Immediately. He was from Brook
lyn, n, Y, and a married man. His wife,
with two small children, was at the
BOnitz house at the time. Her grief was
| terrible. Matthewson was "a years oi
age. Trask has, it is claimed, shown
| signs of insanity, his hallucination being
that some relatives are trying to Kill him.
