The HERALD is so much in the habit
Of ''scooping" its slow gated contempo-
raries that we scarcely ever think it
worth while to call attention TO the
fact. Indeed, it is work of supereroga-
tion. Having lately scooped the whole
continent in that this journal was the
only one in the United States that
printed the presidents message an hour
before it WAS deiivered-which we were
enabled to do owing to the difference of
time between Los Angeles and Washing
ton-s clear telegfaphic news feat and
no fake about tive were disposed to
rect upon our laurels foi awhile, and
compassionately watch the operations of
our alow-gaited contemporaries. We can
not, however, refrain from calling atten
tion to the splendid scoop" of yester-
day. This journal gave full and inter
esting account OF the Burbank hold-up.
The Times managed to got few lines
concerning it, which they borrowed
from the HERALD, which was out bright
and early. This only went into por-
ton of its edition, and was g melan-
choly cadsver OF the live publication in
the HERALD. We are largely enar'"d 10
achieve these triumphs-of cour N
ceding the merits of our unriyah sff

the finest. The casual reader @
hang on to this fact, which
mention occasionally, and FIX
memory the refrain, 1.-THE fines
beat and the fastest" and he may vary
the collocation of the adjectives to suit
his fancy, only being cure to get them
all in.

PARSONS, Kan, Dec. "a One OF the
boldest train robberies ever attempted
occurred about O'Clock tonight at Sem
mole, |. T., on the Kansas and Arkansas
division of the Missouri Pacific. The
train was bound for Little Rock, and as
it approached Seminole the engineer
saw danger signal and slowed np. Two
or three men boarded the engine and
compelled the engineer and fireman to
jump out OF the cab. Half dozen
other men, armed with Winchesters and
reyolvers were at the side of the
track. The balance OF the train
crew. who came forward to
ascertain the cause of stoppage,
were curralled and placed in charge OF i
guard. The mail car wae then attacked
and the pouches rined of their contents,
2nc he letters in the pigeon holes gone
through and valuable contents ex-
tracted. The express car was next
looted OF all valuable matter, the mes-
senger being powerless to offer resist
ance. Then all the paasengers in the
Coaches we're stripped OF their valuables
by eight heavily armed des-
peradoee. Every passenger gave up
without struggle, glad to escape with a
whole skin, and no violence was offered.
Big booty was secured, but no estimate Q
OF the loss can be given. A posse was
organized as soon as possible and depu-
ties are hot on the trail of the robbers.
1t is probable fight will ensue If the
gang is overtaken.

Unexplainable.

Two things relating to Owosso strike
THE TIMES as peculiar and unexplainable
First, why the business men of the city
sit idly by and make no protest regarding
the license charged transient dealers who
come to OwOssO to sell on our streets lot
of poor trash at big prices. The council
ought not to wait to be requested TO raise
the license charged this class of fellows.
As business men, to whom the interests OF
the city have been entrusted, they should
see that this class of men hurt not only the
seller but also the buyer, as most of the
goods sold are of the poorest quality. The
fee per day now exacted is So. 1t should
be raised to not less than S. and better still
to $40. OwossO from every point of view
will be better off If this class of dealers are
not allowed to sell dollars worth of any
class of merchandise. The few patry dol
lars paid into the city treasury do not in
any wise compensate the loss to the home
dealers or to purchasers. We ask the cOun-
Gil to carefully consider this matter and
take some action to remedy the evil at the
next meeting.
The second 1tnerpldindble thing is, why
do Owosso business men patronize every
take" advertising scheme which is pre-
sented to them. From conversations with
many of our dealers we feel sure that they
know that most of the schemes are hum
bugs of the worst kind Take for instance
the paper bag fend who represents to adj
vertisers that he will print 10, bags and
then really prints three or five thousand, or
the 'faker' who gets out a railway dlrec-
tory to consist of an edition of 5000 copies,
when in fact it rarely exceeds 5000 and
then most of these are left i'm the office
where the work is done, few being taken
away to make collections with. Who ever
stops to read an advertisement on a paper
bag, especially when 1t is printed with a
dozen others? Who sees railway or bust
ness directory week after it is thrown
around9 The money given to those travel
ing "fakers" Is simply thrown away. We
have known many of them to take away
from $50 to $45 clear for two days work.
We believe in the use of printers ink but
not in this way. The same money spent In
a legitimate way with the printers of the
city would do the merchant many times
the good 1t does and then he would not be
asked an exhOrbitant price. Will some one
tell us why these schemes are patronized?

GROWING IN FAVOR
The Demand is Constantly Increasing for
Oleomargarine.

The Demand is Constantly Increasing for
Oleomargarine.
From The State Republican.
Public opinion is plainly undergoing a
radical change in regard to its estimate OF
butterine or ''oleomargarlne" as 1t Is tech
nically called. On its first introduction into
this country it met with general opposition.
State laws were enacted against its manu-
facture and sale. except under the most
stringent regulations. Nevertheless, by viz
tue of its Cwn inherent merits, 1t has grad
ually and steadily grown in public favor,
until now it has become an established
its own name. Leading hotels and restaur-
ants, both in Europe and America, make
extensive use of it on their tables. Its uni
form quality, cleanliness and comparative
cheapness has SO commended it that at the
present time manufacturers are unable to
supply the demand for it. Hammond,
Standish & Co.'S factory in Indiana is said
to be 6OO 0O0 to 5000 pounds behind Or
ders.
The Cincinnati Price Current of recent
date Gays: ''Butterine is composed of but
ter oil, neutral lard and oleo oil. Elgin
creamery butter and butter made at the fac
tory daily are the milk products used in
butterine.
"OleO oil is made from the choicest fat of
beef cattle, chilled in ice water, then melted
at temperature of 40 degrees Fahren-
heit From this is pressed perfectly SOL
uble oil known as Olco oil, which is the only
beef product used in butterine.
THE above named ingredients, when
properly combined, sailed and worked the
same as butter form what is known as but
terine, which is one of the purest and most
wholesome articles of food in general use.'

ODlruary.

Last Saturday evening, at q o'clock.
death laid desolate one OF Owos SOS most
estimable households. At that hour Mrs.
Wilhelmina G.. Gregory, the dearly be-
loved mother, breathed her last at her
home, 81 East Oliver street
She had only few days previously pass
ed her 10th birthday. Mrs. Gregory was
lovely woman in domestic life, in socie-
ty, in Christian virtues-as wife, mother,
friend-she everywhere carried the inn
press of her beautiful and noble character.
10 know her was to love her. Owosso
people of earlier days remember her in
her girlhood as the bright and winsome
Wilhelmina Austin. She was the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Chas. l.. Goodhue by former
marriage, and was born in Kalamazoo,
Oct. Goth, 1914 She was married June
8, 1868, to Henry B. Gregory, one of the
prominent young business men Of Owes
so, whose death occurred in September,
1888, leaving to her the care and training
of their two young daughters Most de-
votedly and conscientiously has she full
filled the double duties of father and
mother.
Mrs Gregory has suffered from spinal
affection about two years; portions of the
time she has been under medical treat
ment in Detroit, but an immediate fatal
termination was not apprehended until
very recently. She leaves two daughters,
Mrs. ID. w. Waters, and Miss Lena Greg
DRY, who will all their life treasure in low
ing remembrance the virtues and beanti-
full life of their departed mother Funeral
services were held Tuesday afternoon at
the family residence, Rev. j. r. Reitzel
pastor of the Congregational church, OF
which Mrs. Gregory was member, Off
ciating. There was large attendance
of citizens. Friends from abroad were
Mrs. Halliday and Miss Spranger from
Detroit; Mr.. Austin and his sister, Mrs
Webster, cousins of Mrs. Gregory, from
Jackson.
In addition to the loss to the daughters
by the death of Mrs. Gregory, the afflic.
ton falls very heavily upon her mother
Mrs. G. l.. Goodhue, who has previously
buried three lovely daughters. Mrs
| Gregory was her last surviving daughter
while her only remaining child, Charles
F. Goodhue, is suffering invalid at the
| Goodhue home.
