Reception and Concert.
The eighth annual concert and recep-
ton of Sheridan &C uncil, No "a, K. of
c., in City hall last night, was bril-
liant social success. The decorations
made by Charters and Borden were
pretty and new, making a picturesque
background to the numbers of pretty
costumes and smiling faces. Potted
palms and flowers in great numbers
made hidden recess from which came
the music of Bergen's orchestra of
twelve pieces. Emblems of the order
hung in profusion about the hall reflect
ing bright light over the audience. The
fine concert program being concluded,
Grand Knight John H. Moran and wife
took position at the head of the grand
march, and upwards of 800 couples were
soon in line. At the intermission
supper was taken at the Scovill house.

the evening was due, were as follows !:

To-day is the end of February and
ground hog day. According to believers
in the ground hogs ability to prognosti-
cate the weather, if the day be clear and
the sun shines the animal will be scared
at his shadow and retire to his winter
quarters, there to remain during six
weeks more of winter weather. If, on
the contrary, the day is cloudy, the
backbone of the winter may be con-
sidered broken,

Happily Welded.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. ID. Evans
on Water street was the scene of very
pleasant and pretty wedding yesterday, the
occasion of the marriage of their only
daughter, Harriet L., to George L. Camp
bell, the genial and active general secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Association.
The house was elegantly decorated with
banks Uf golden rod while draperies of other
flowers hung about the rooms. The flowers
i'm the dining room were white roses making
pretty contrast to the smilax with which
they were used.
About seventy-fve guests were present,
among those from away being Mrs. Rex
ford, the groom's sister, of Pittsburg, Kan,
Miss Holbrook, of Lansing, Mrs. Walter
Lewis, of Saginaw, Mrs. j. Stockwell, of
Pontiac, Fred Stockwell and Miss Brown,
of Detroit. The guests were received by
Miss Evans, assisted by her friends, the
Misses Colt, Stewart, Wiley. Finch, Tubbs,
Broad and Henderson, of this city, and Miss
Holbrook, of Lansing, who also assisted at
the tables later.
At five o'clock the wedding ceremony
was performed by Rev. w. j. A. Wenn, of
Pittsburg, Kan, the former pastor of Mr..
Campbell, at that place. The bride was
dressed in white silk and carried white
roses, the pair standing on a white rug in
perfect bower of flowers during the cere-
mony. Warm congratulations and the best
wishes of the guests were bestowed in
abundance upon the happy couple, to which
can be added those of nearly everyone in
Owosso, both Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell being
among the most popular young people of
the city. After time spent in social way
a bountiful wedding supper was served.
The presents were unusually fine including
cut glass and solid silver in abun lance. A
fine onyx clock and set of solid silver spoons
testified to the esteem in which Mr.. Camp
bell and his bride are held by the board of
of Y. NJ. e. A. directors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell left on the NJ. G.
evening train and will spend two weeks IN
Chicago.

How 20 yentiiate Rooms.

Air should be introduced and removed
at those parts of the room where IL
would not cause a sensible draft. Air
flowing against the body at or even
somewhat above the temperature Of the
air of the room will cause an inconven-
lent draft from the fact that as it re-
moves the moisture of the body it causes
evaporation or sensation of cold.
The openings would be liable to be
fouled with sweepings and dirt. The
air, unless very much above the temper
allure of the room, would produce q SEN
sation of cold to the feet. 1t may be re-
garded as an axiom in ventilating and
warming that the feet should be kept
cool. The orifices at which air is adj
mitted should be above the level of the
heads Of the persons OCCUPYING the room.
The current of inhowing air should be
directed toward the ceiling and should
either be as much subdivided as possible
by means of numerous orifices or be ad-
mitted through conical openings, with
the smaller openings toward the room,
by which means the air of the entering
current is very rapidly dispersed.
Air admitted through the ceiling very
soon ceases to exist as direct current
and will be found at very short distance
from the inlet to have mingled with the
general mass Of the air and to have at
tanned the temperature of the room.
partly owing to the large mass of air in
the room with which the infowing our
rent mingles, partly to the action Of
gravity in cases where the infowing air
is colder than the air in the room.

Labor Day.

AS committee sent to several points In
the interests of the Labor Day celebration,
for the purpose of distributing large post
ers, we make a report of work i'm progress:
We first stopped in Lansing. 1t is evil
dent the interest is constantly increasing
in and around this city towards onr cele-
bration. Arrangements were made through
the aid of Mr.. Chilson whereby proper ca
pacty for bringing people from Lansing
and return was assured by the Michigan
Central railroad. This is of no little i'm
portance, for the central committee have all
along been working through systematic
process to draw people from Howell and
intermediate points, from Ionia and Barry
counties and points south, to concentrate at
Lansing September in time to take advan-
tage of special trains run between Mason,
Lansing and Owosso at greatly reduced
rates. This train is secured that all may
arrive in time to see and join in the street
procession, which forms in West Owosso.
The committee also secured some fine fea-
lures to add to our street parade.
Their next efforts were directed to secur-
ing a committee at WILLIAMSON. The peo-
pie at this place were much interested in
the celebration. Frank Griffin was APP
pointed chairman of committee of arrang-
ing matters concerning arrangements in the
city, and j. ID. Haines outside with the
Farmers Alliance. The Ely Alexander
Post G.. A. II. expect to be present also
some civic societies. Encouragement was
also met with for the people of Fowlerville
and Howell to be with us. 1t is also an
assured fact that many people and at least
one civic society will be represented from
Grand Ledge. Frank Halfman, of Port
Huron, is interesting himself in arranging
matters for many people from that city to
be here. Altogether the committee have
been successful in putting several hundred
large posters and 5000 small programs in
good hands, and from all directions the
same interest is manifested in the CONSOLE
dated celebration.
Saturday evening the committee went to
Hazlett Park. At this beautiful spot thous-
ands of people were gathered from all parts
ofthe state, attending the annual gathering of
the Spiritualists. According to instruc-
tons, the committee proceeded to invite the
assembly to take action upon the matter of
general gathering at Owosso from the I'd
to the 9Th inst Mr.. Brooks, chairman,
brought the matter before the afternoon
meeting, fully 5000 people being in at
tendance. At the evening session Chair
man Brooks again brought up the subject,
heartily thanking the committee for the in
vitation and urging all to be in Owosso
from September 2 to 5, especially on the
4th. M. A. Root, of Bay City, also talked
in the same way. The invitation was &C
cepted and committee appointed to ar
range program.
Thus from all sources we have the best of
assurances that great crowd will be with
us. COMMITTEE.

HOW TO- GROW THIN
An, Easy and Pleasant Way of RedssiAg'
Flesh.

An. Easy and Pleasant Way of Reducing;
Fiesh.
Here is the method pursued by q.
plump Philadelphia lady who has been
rounding out at a steadily increasing
rate for the last three years, so that she
became thoroughly Last summer
she set forth on her European tour with
the firm intention of making trip to
Carlsbad to be treated for corpulency.
While en- route, however, she stopped at
Berlin, where she incidentally consulted
q physician who recommended her
stay right there, saying she could accom-
plish the desired result under his advice
better than at Carlsbad.
When she returned in October with. a
trim and dainty figure and minus a dis;
figuring double chin, her acquaintances
raised their lorgnettes and their eyebrows
and to her friends she whispered the ees
cret. There is no dieting, one may eat
anything at all one chooses, and the
more fruit the better. Liquids, however,
are forbidden, none at all at meals, aud
only when demanded by excessive thirst
at other times. Even this isn't so very
bad when one considers that q juicy
orange allays thirst as well as water, and
quantities of fruit, you know, are recon-
mended.
Then, too, one must follow simple
course of baths. First foot bath, next
day an arm bath and the third day an Ill
over bath, all as hot as one can ST d
them and to be continued as LON as
necessary. One should always lie q n
for half an hour after taking bat +
! better still take them before goin 20
bed at night. 1t is not hard, and when
one thinks of the immense improvement
it really seems worth the sacrifice, though
when one considers life without count
less soothing cups of tea it seems a very
blank sort of existence indeed-for q.
woman, that is.
