FArRMoNr, April lit Is said-and
thero Is historical authority to substan-
tiate tho Rssertion-that Romo sat upon
seven hills and ruled tho world. While
Fairmont has not n many hill supports,
she has enough Of them for her pur.
poses and rules the trade and traffic Of
tho Monongahcla valley through tho
peaceful monns Of tho energy, industry
and enterprise OF her citizens. OF all
tho towns in West Virginia that arc
getting out Of the woods and developing
their natural resources, Fairmont is
certainly in tho lead. There is no COM
munity within the confines Of tho state
whose future is 80 fully assured rs the
county scat OF Marion county, and
whose prosperity, present an prospec-
tive, Is based on such q solid founda-
ton. The evidences arc so apparent
that q wayfaring man, though q fool,
need not hesitate to invest in prop
erty or establish any enterprise that de-
ponds on tho facilities and advantages
that this country affords.
TIFF BOOM.
Tho strides Fairmont has made, and
tho strides sho is yet to make, arc not
in the nature Of q "boom" in tho COM
mon a%cceptation of that term. What I
mean is, that tho present growth OF the
town and tho vast industrial interests
that have boen called into being by the
magic hand Of capital is FREQ from the
speculative taintthatha accompanicdso
many movements of this kind and has
placed superficial values on invest
iments. To illustrate this point l can
not do better than quote tho language
OF Master Of, Way Johnson, OF tho Balti-
more 4 Ohio railroad, who was here
tho other day selecting q site for n new
union depot. In speaking Of boom"
towns in the Valley of Virginia and
other points he said that the Baltimore
4 Ohio was becoming tired of building
belt lines and switches for such places,
which advanced SO far and then stop
ped. and in someinstances dropped into
the same slumber they were awakened
from with no hope OF. revivication.
But" said he, "Fairmont is not in
that class. She has made steady pro-
gress without initiating values, and
everything that has contributed to this
state OF things has been donc on con-
sentative lines. The future OF the town
is bright; it is bound to 90 ahead, and
for this reason the Baltimore & Ohio
will keep in touch with the march OF
its advancement"
+, Boom towns will come. and some will go,
But Fairmont's boom will 20 on forever.

The Rev. j. r. Reitzel, of the Congrega-
tional church, gave stirring appeal Sunday
evening for union of all the forces possible
against the saloon. The saloons in OwOssO
were exposed to the scathiDg rebuke for
their criminality and their utter disregard
for law. The saloon is the consort and re-
sort of thieves, gamblers and the whole
foul brood that it gathers Its aggressive
ness has been gathering about it the wrath
that will eliminate in its destruction. Shia-
awassee county has an awful aggregation of
good citizenship who will rise as one man.
at an early day and close the doors of this
iniquity, follow it to its secret haunts and
wage war of determination upon the traffic.
The one word local option means the out
having of the traffic in this county, and the
open violation of the law i'm the matter of
selling liquor to minors, removal of screens,
opening upon Sunday, etc., will but hasten
the day of their destruction. Within two
weeks we have had two 'grand openings"
in Owosso. Elegant invitations, promising
music and free drinks have been circulated.
Never was a more depicabe scheme resort
ed to than this attempt at drunkard making,
II is of the same spirit that actuates the high
wayman, only it lacks his nerve and courage.
For example, the gided card of the saloon
opening is handed IN tho rear door of THE
TIMES Office to an employee. And THE
TINES right here resents this interference.
In every place was this insult offered. The
acceptance of the invitation in the full spirit
intended would mean to take the skill from
employees, undermine their honesty and
Interfere with business. The saloon has
nothing to offer in the way of legitimate ex-
change. 1t contributes to jails, prisons and
asylums and the printed invitation to ''the
opening" means that legitimate business
must furnish the funds to support the bust
ness Of drunkard making, also its criminal
prosecutions, prisons, almshouses. ''Let us
alone" has always been the cry of the publ
can, but now he proposes TO push business
and the result of the push will be his dis
aster.

Flint Globe: Hon. Ferris S. Fitch,
Superintendent of Public instruction in this
state, has issued circular, directed to the
schools of the state, asking that on the 22d
of February, contributions be made by
teachers and pupils to fund to pay for
making an educational exhibit at the
Columbian fair in 1898. 1t has come to
pretty pass when the great and rich state of
Michigan must go begging of under-paid
school teachers, and of pupils in our schools
for money to make proper showing of our
educational work to the assembled nations
of the earth. Michigan, the home of the
greatest American University, with an edu-
cationa system that has been taken as
model by most of the younger and some of
the older states, begging from pupils and
teachers, nickel and dime contributions, to
enable 1t to show what its educational sys-
tenn is and has done. 1t Is scandalous. 1t
is outrageous. 1t is contemplate. 1t is
mean. 1t is picayunish. The stinginess,
the demagOgism, the mental vacuity of the
Freidander Legislature is responsible for
this humiliation. Ye gods! Michigan beg
ging Peters pence of school ma'ams and
little children to pay for making show of
that which has glorifed the state in all the
world. Think of China and Japan, where
Michigan scholars are holding up the stand
ard of Christian education, hearing of this
miserable beggary necessarily resOrted to,
because partisan legislature was too stingy
and too partisan to save the state from such
disgrace. This is the most disgraceful
thing yet in all the scandalous record of this
accidental democratic administration. It's
worse than stealing $500 from the public
treasury to pay to Warden Davis of the
Jackson prison i'm violation of law. It's
worse than the partisan gerrymander. It's
worse than Soper's misfeasance. It's nearly
as shameful as the Freidlander senatorial
fraud. It's democratic. The people of
Michigan will take this thing up, and will
elect legislature next fall that has the cour-
age to appropriate the money necessary to
make proper educational exhibit at the
worlds fair in 1898.

j. W. Hibbard, of Bennington, who has
one Of the best flOcks of sheep in Michigan,
says that the removal of the wool tariff
would send his flock to the butcher. Yet
Springer, chairman of the committee on
Ways and Means in Congress, and every
Democrat. including Youmans, will follow
his lead and declare that sheep raising in
Shiawassee county shall be abandoned.
The wool on the free list means that the
thousands Of pounds of wool now raised in
Shiawassee county will be raised i'm Austral-
ia and the Argentine Republic. 1t means
that the land now devoted to sheep raising
must he turned into the wheat farm and the
price of that product still farther depressed.
The ideal American policy is that every
product grown or manufactured in this
country shall have its country's preference.
The advocate of free wool is the enemy of
the Michigan sheep raiser and should wear
brass collar like other enemies of the sheep
and in case of attack upon the focks dealt
with as summarily.

The TINES is in receipt of several marked
copies of The Voice, relating to the dis
elimination against that publication by
partisan postmasters. If it is all true we
are sorry. However as most of the cases in
question are in Montana and North Carolina,
THE TINES regrets it, but we cannot per-
sonally attend to the cases individually.
However if any of these cases happen in
Connecticut by referring them to The Owes
so Press, doubtless, suitable arrangements
could be made to prevent such abuses
by the new state constitution now in the
Press shop, ordered by that state of the
above named jobbers in cOnstt utions.

Which is the sectional party? Wool is
more particularly northern product and
sugar southern. The republican party

The OwOssO Press said some real nice
things about Grover Cleveland last week
and his expected visit to Ann Arbor, and
The Detroit Free Press copied the same and
gave credit to the Owosso TINES. Ordi-
nariy THE TIMES is sufficiently accomodat-
ing to lend its reputation to cover matters
reported from OwossO, but in this particu-
lar instance the greatness and goodness of
Cleveland noted in the article is scarcely our
opinion although he is a great deal better
than his party. It's just little ungrateful
in the Free Press to not accord the OwOssO
Press sufficient standing as to deem quo

Disastrous Cloud Burst,

Sometime between 5 and 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning, the 18th, a cloud
burst occurred near the head waters of
Deception and Cow creeks, in Union,
Beaver, Homestead and Cheyenne
townships, and the sweeping waters
carried death and obstruction over a
large territory. Wheat in the stack
and shock was swept away; headers,
wagons, outbuildings and all things
movable were carried to destruction in
the resistless flood.
In the Deception creek valley, where
the Mo. p. railroad crosses the creek
east of Hoisington, from three quarters
to mile of track was washed away,
and the road bed injured in other
places.
Early Sunday forenoon, some har-
vest hands were in bathing in Cow
creek, near Claf1in, when one of their
number, German named Jno KONG
young man about %, was drawn into
the current and drowned. Coroner
Lash held an inquest over the remains
Monday. He had with him $3.50 in
money, plenty of clothes, etc. He was
German soldier, who only had been
in this country few months, and had
been working for John FL. RENTS in the
| harvest field.
Of those who lost wheat by the flood
Mrs. Burr Cofer lost about 100 acres
Mr.. Dusenberrie 100 acres or more
and various others whose names WI
were unable to learn. The exac
damage done will never be known. One
farmer found chicken house, with q
lot Of live chickens in it, landed on hi!
premises but had no idea where it cam,
from. Headers, wagons and other farm
machinery are strewn along the bank
of the two creeks.
Most all Of the township bridge
along the two streams and one valuable
county bridge were washed out. Com
missioner Strothman will go over tn,
| ground and make report of the dam
age to bridges.
The Cheyenne bottoms, into whicl

This is the first occurrence of TIN
kind that to our knowledge has hap
pened in this county.
