ABSOLUTELY PURE

That the people have confidence in the
paper is attested by its large circulation, its
generous patronage in advertising and job
departments, and the fact that the people
always place the editor in very prominent
place on committees. We would like to
refer more particularly to many points, but
haven't room. We cannot close, however,
without referring to the complimentary ban
quet by the citizens Of Owosso in honor of
the newspaper men, and the literary feast
which followed it. The prime cause of
Owosso's growth lies in the fact that her
people, and especially her business men,
pull together to build up the city, and they
are doing it rapidly too.
Cadillac News and Express: The meet
ing of the Michigan Republican Newspaper
Association at Owosso, on Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, was successful and
enjoyable from every point of view. Owos-
so is one of the best cities in the United
States in which to hold such meetings. Its
citizens are aggressively active and energetic
in all matters pertaining to the purposes
and reputation of their, city and each one
seems to feel it a privilege as well as duty
to extend cordial welcome and to bestow
generous hospitality to all whose pleasure it
is to abide for little or longer while In
their town. The republicans of Owosso,
too, are peculiarly Owosso republicans, and
their partisanship partakes of the character
istics of the city in being persistent and gen.
erous. 1t is not strange, therefore that
meeting of republican newspaper men at
Owosso was productive of both pleasure and
profit. The convention opened with pub
lie meeting at the Congregational church,
which was attended by residents of the city
regardless of politics. A local musician,
Frank Zimmerman, added much to the in-
terest of the program with two high-class
pipe organ solos and Mr.. A. ID. Whipple, of
Owosso, welcomed the newspaper men to
the city in brief and entertaining ADDRESS
in which he had artistically woven word
picture of theleading industries Of the city
and the character and volume of their pro-
ducts y n y The convention closed with a
banquet at the armory, provided by the
ladies of Congregational church of the
city, which in all respect was one of the
finest and most complete ever given in this
state, and as political feast of reason and
flow of soul was the peer of any of the
famous Michigan Club banquets. ~ y
And thus closed the third annual conven-
tion of the Republican Newspaper Associa-
ton of Michigan. When it convenes again
it will be to rejoice in the fact of having as
sisted to win for Michigan republican
victory unequaled in the greatness Of Its
majority, not little of the energy and en-.
thusasm with which such victory will be
assisted coming from the two days meeting
at Owosso.

And this is Christmas! The dimes OF the
young folks that were paid for the pretty
badges of The Star Santa Claus Club are
rolling off in every direction, helping the
poor people and doing vast deal OF good
They will keep on rolling all during the
winter, If some more come in to help the
fund and to keep 1t from growing too low
1t is curious thing, but silver dollar
Will roll much smoother and faster and
farther than dime. Just so dollar Will
do more good on Christmas in aiding and

affair that there IS a temptation to cut it
short and print 1t with previously ac-
knowledged' line at the top. But it Is only
fair to those who gave early that their
names should be repeated, and so the
whole list Is given again.
May every one who has given to the fund
and every wearer of the blue and silver
badges have right merry, happy Christ
mas. with plenty of good things from fond
friends and parents, and mary more Christ
mas days to enjoy in the future! May the
hundreds of poor children who never know

A CHRISTMAS EVE SHOOTING.
Joseph Lee Puts a Bullet Into the
Body of Andrew Blackburn.

Joseph Lee Puts n Bullet Into the
Body of Andrew Blackburn.
A colored man named Andrew Black
burn, with bullet in his body, appeared in
how and by whom he was wounded. Jos.
Lee. another colored man, who had always
been on friendly terms with Blackburn, in
flicted the wound. and Policeman Wertz
arrested him. The affair happened last
night about II o'clock at Goth and L streets
northwest. The men met in Thos Burke g
saloon, and quarreled. Blackburn was not
anxious to continue the quarrel, but sug-
gested that they had better end the i'll feel
ing and remain friends, as they had been
so many years. But Lee had too much
whisky In him to agree to any terms. al
though the trouble IT. the saloon was APP
parently ended when the men separated.
Then Blackburn started out and Lee fol-
lowed him. A few seconds later the report
of a pistol shot attracted the saloonkeep-
er's attention. and when he went out he
found that Blackburn had been shot.
Word. was sent to the police station, and
the wounded man was conveyed to the
Emergency Hospital, where 1t was found
that the bullet had entered near the left
shoulder in direct line above the heart.
Lee was arrested.
The wounded man complained this morn
ing that he was very weak, and the judge
suggested that he BE- sent to the hospital
for treatment.
Evidence was given by the wounded man
and the saloonkeeper, and Lee was COM
mitted to Jail in default of $1,000 bail to
await the action Of the grand ujry.

The New Schedule,

The new schedule of working hours and
time table for the running of cars has not
yet gone into effect on the Metropolitan
railway. although 1t has been ten
days since the agreement was made
between the &C mpany and the men. At the
Office Of the company, in Georgetown. to-
day a Star reporter was told by Superin-
tendent Lowry that the time table would
be put into effect as soon as it could be
prepared. 1T Is no easy task to make up
q new table," he said. II cannot say just
when It will be ready, but ii will be put in
to operation as soon as possible"
There was considerable disappointment
among the employees today by reason Of
their not having received their week s
wages in time for Christmas Tuesday is
the weekly pay day of the company, but
this particular Tuesday being a legal hol-
iday, the company postponed payment I'M
til tomorrow. The company had legal
right to do this and the smen could not
demur; but 1t is said that this action cur
tailed the Christmas preparations of many
of the men, who were counting upon the
weeks wages to carry them through.

Girls Reform School.

At the present time there are thirty-six
girls at the Girls Reform School. all OF
them colored, and 1t is safe to say that
they never spent a more enjoyable Christ
mas than the one they enjoyed today. The
day was made, Of course. a general holi-
day, in which work Of all kind was ban
ished. Every girl. when she arose this
morning. found awaiting her a well-filled
stocking. in which the officials Of the
school had placed many Of those little
gifts so dear to the hearts of girls. The
day was mostly spent in reading and In
the playing of games, and at 2:3O the
girls sat down to a most tempting dinner.
in which turkey and plum pudding were
the most prominent and the most enjoy
able, 1t Is needless to assert, features. AT
$3.50 this evening the girls will be given a
little entertainment, in which recitations,
songs and tableaux. will occupy a promi-
nent part. While today was not a gen.
eral day for visitors. the girls were made
happy by receiving many remembrances
