Recently a numher of burglaries
have been committed in Washing
ton, and Sunday night an attempt
was made to enter the store Mr.. j..
T Lupton. He was smart enough
for the burglars and caught them.
They proved to be one C. C.. Collier
whose hands are deformed and who
had been begging on the streets;
and A. W. Barnes who had been
passing off in the town as repairer
of sewing machines. They were
placed in jail upon failure to give
bond.

Voted For $4,000.

A large meeting of the citizens was held
at the city hall last night to consider the
question of giving a bonus of $4,000 to
enable the OwOsso Tool Co. to enlarge its
present plant. The meeting was presided
over by Mayor Gould. Remarks on the
subject were made by j. G. Shattuck, G. s..

favored giving bonus of some amoIni. y
vote on the question showed S5 in fav" of
bonus of $4,000 and AZ against it, The
sentiment of three public meetings has now
been ascertained and the question is now
left to the council for a final decision. We
hope they will act wisely for the best inter-
ests of the city. We certainly want to see
the city continue to grow. How can it be
better accomplished than by giving employ
ment to more wage-earners?

Road Improvements.

The property owners along the road and
many others who desire to see the road put
in passable condition are determined to
have Main street east To the coal mine inn
proved before snow flies. A meeting with
this end in view was held at the coal mine
Saturday afternoon, attended by several of
those interested and representative Of The
TIMES. 1t was the sentiment Of all that
the road from the city limits east to the
town hall ought to be well graveled and
from that point to the mine graded and
graveled as needed. For this purpose about
$50 days for man and team were pledged
and lists are circulating to secure enough
work to make good beginning on the work.
The city of Owosso and every business
man should take an interest In this work.
The city can well afford to make an appro-
priation toward 1t and to gravel the
road from Dewey street to the city limits.
We hope the council will take some action
on this question at its next meeting.
Goods roads leading into the city mean
increased business and added prosperity.

Sickness in the Country.

Reports from the country indicate
that there is at this time more than the
usual amount of sickness prevailing.
Most of these troubles seem to arise
from an impure condition of the blood,
caused by an excessive secretion of bile.
This causes fever of a bilious character,
and we regret to say in some places
has proved very fatal. We therefore
offer this gratuitious advice to those
not yet afflicted: Keep your liver in a
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure. Good blood means good
health, whilst bad blood bad health.
Harris Blood and Liver Pills are entirely
vegetable and are just the pills needed
at this season of the year.

THE AGE OF UNDERSTANDING.
BY Kathie Moore.

II am anxious to have my boy sign
a temperance pledge, but | donot think
il right to let him do so until he under
stands the nature of a vow, said a fond
mother.
SAT what age do you think he will
understand it?"
SAT eight or nine, l should think"
she replied.
sand in the meanwhile the little fell
low may learn to like the taste of wine
or cider. Children are never safe away
from home, and some kind neighbor, in
mistaken kindness, of course, may lead
this little ones feet into paths of evil
by giving him a taste of wine or cider. ,
THAT is true, answered the mother;
and the next Sunday her four year old
boy signed the pledge in the Sabbath
school.
Some weeks later, when l was again
visiting the mother, her little boy came
in from his play. He had been spend
ing an hour with a neighbor.
Mamma" he said, in \his sweet,
baby way, "it isn't beer dat Mrs. Mar
tin drinks out of her beer bottle; it is
eide"
"How do you know that?" asked his
mamma.
"She told me so. 1 said, Mrs. Mar
tin, is dat beer you are dinking out of
the beer bottle?' and she said, No,
Tommy, dat is cidie;' and den after
awhile she said, will you have some
eide, Tommy and I said, No, 'ank
you, Mrs. Martin, l don t dink eide. :"
The mother smiled. She knew now
that her boy could understand, and
that with the pleasant fumes of cider
about him he could keep his pledge.
As soon as children can understand
what drunkenness is and what truth is
they a understand and keep a pledge.
Let the little children sign the pledge,
the earlier the better, SO that the taste
for these tempting drinks may never be
a stumbling block I'm the walk of life.
