PURE

SO say to the barbers-use the common
law and shut up the shops whose proprietors
rather work than to go fishing or hunting on
Sunday.
But to return to the State University. We
are told that it must and should he upheld,
because it is a great institution. When L
was extruded from it, it paid its own way,
but they didn't have a whole army of pro-
fessors and assistant professors and supes
all drawing pay. The major part of the
buildings then on the ground were erected
without any aid from the State, and while /
am willing to be generous to my Alma
Mater, do not believe that the people of
this State should be taxed to educate pupils
from the four quarters of the globe. i don't
care to amplify on the matter, but have
figures to show that it costs the taxpayers of
this State over eight hundred dollars apiece
for every graduate from that institution
last year. While we are generous let us
endeavor to be just.

Wards Words.

BY report of the officers in charge it seems
that the cost of victualing the conycts at the
various plenary institutions of our State is
about 2l cents per day, and at Harper hos
pital, where the sick need more deicacies.
it is put down at 20 cents per day, under
stand. This is all very well, but it does
gravel man who is knowing to these facts
and has poor appetite to get up from some
of our hotel tables and have the clerk
smilingly tap him for so or IS cents in ex-
change for meal that his grandmother
wouldn't eat if she could, and couldn't if she
would, unless it was to keep her from
starvation. This is like the man who
told miller that he could eat flour faster
than his mill made it, and the miller wanted
to know forhow long? The joker laughing
ly replied that he could until he starved to
death.
And now comes preacher giving free
lectures advocating special enactment of
legislature relative to the poor over-worked
BARRIERS laboring on Sunday. For all the
world if that don't get me. l supposed
may be mistaken howeYer-that we had a
statutory enactment prohibiting all sorts of
work on the Sabbath except works of neces-
sity or mercy, but here comes class of men
who want to be protected from themselves
and have 1t done by law. Great Scott! Why
not shut up shop, same as blacksmiths? I've
practiced physic for So years without Sun
day or an hour that / could call my own,
while was at home, and never thought of
Sunday law to keep people who work all
the week from going to the doctor on the
first day of the next, when they had nothing
else to do. Every doctor has done the same
and still L believe it would be good thing
to prohibit them practicing one day in the
week at least and possibly more for the
benefit of their patients. So, l will be
equally candid with the BARRIERS and say
that if they should shut up shop altogether
there would be fewer bald heads and less
throat affections among men. Again, what
are you going to do with an Adventist
barber I'd like to know? Why, they rather
work on the first day of the week than to
sit around and play marbles at the same
price. 1t is about on par with that sixth
of a mill University tax bill, with a homeo-
pathic wart on it, which recently passed the
legislature. Bah!
This reminds me of story that the emf
nent Chancellor Havens told me over twenty
years ago when the homeops were fastening
their little barnacle onto the University. 1t
was about an old bach who harbored a
couple of cats, or rather a big cat and a
kitten which bothered him about letting out
and in his cabin. He concluded finally to
cut cat hole in the door, and so he cut two
"a big hole for the big cat and little one
for the kitten. His friends claimed that the
small hole was unnecessary and that the
little cat could walk out of the big cat hole
just as well as to have special one for IT.
self. $50" said the good doctor, II dom
see why, so long as they teach no 'pathy' In
the Medical Department, that the students
can't all crawl out of the regular cat hole
and then practice whatever they choose.

the subject Of personal Purity" All men
cordially invited.
The surrounding towns Of Corunna,

concert, Saturday night. A party of thirty
came from Vernon.
The Whitney Mockridge Concert Company
appeared as the extra number in the Y. M.
c. A. course Saturday night. They were
greeted by large and apprecative audi
ence, who thoroughly enjoyed every number
on the program. Mr.. Mockridge's expert
tenor voice completely captured the audi
ence. The solos by Miss Posta and Miss
Almy and Mr.. Wyatt called forth hearty
applause, while the violin playing by Mr..
Winternitz took the house by storm. The
company is undoubtedly the finest ever APP
pearing in Owosso, and have made for
themselves an enviable reputation here.
The association is to be congratulated upon
having secured their services.

A Shiawassee County Man Murdered


On Saturday evening last in Chicago,
David Cantrell, for many years resident
of Burns township, was shot and instantly
killed by his friend, Frank Wandcll. The
men had been good friends and Wandell's
only reason for the deed was that Cantrell
interferred in quarrel between himself and
his landlady. Wandell had been abusing
the lady, when told by Cantrell to stop his
abuse or he would throw him out of the
house. At this Wandell drew revolver
and shot his companion through the heart,
resulting as stated. The murderer at once
made his escape.
Mr.. Cantrell was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cantrell, Of Burns. His age was 80 years.
The remains were brought to Byron for
burial.
