good things for all. The old couple
were remembered by many beautiful
gifts from those at home, ard from

a Pleasant Family Reunion

There was a pleasant reunion on the
9th, in Ithaca, of the kcrncu family.
The family consists of four daughters
and seven SOILS, all OF whom were
present except the youngest daughter
who found il impossible 10 come.
Mr.. and Mrs kernen were married in
DleSbaCh, switzerland. on the 18th Of
April, 1880, and started for America on
the 18th of August the same year max
ing the voyage in a sail boat and were
on the water 30 days. They settled in
New York, living there for some years,
aftcrward coming 10 Michigan. and
have lived in Gratiot county for p
years
The children arc all grown up and all
married except two of the boys Mrs
Thompson the oldest daughter lives in
st. Louis, No. and two SOILS and one
daughter live i'm Battle Creek.
The meeting was one of those happy
occasions in which good Will and pleas
antncsS abound. and each one is anxious
and willing to do his part

their pictures taken in one group in the

vantage Of your skill and liberal terms that 1t
would be impossible for you 10 see them ALL have
given the subject deep thought, and have even
physicians, but the only conclusion arrive
at Is that for years the profession has considered
the chronic diseases you treat fncurable."
To say that chronic diseases will not yield to

and reputable people Of Washington. who testify
to their radical and lasting OF those diseases

the idea that he wanted to jump hurdle.
The five horses were willing to jump a
hurdle, but they intended to jump as they

the auxiliary of trick riding. There was
an Englishman who wrote a book abou,
America back about 1896, and in it he re-
marked that Americans were wretched
riders, except few in New York who had
attained the English style. Americans he
said. were insane enough to use long stir

hurdles in this fashion with perfect ease.

There was also q mighty conflict be-

Eight men were attired id fencing costume,
and armed with wooden swords: four wore
white plumes and four pink. The wearer
of the white struck a pink plume when
ever he could, and vice versa. Finally a
company front was formed, and mighty

Steamship. Evade the Law.

It Is stated at the immigration bureau
that certain agents of steamship lines sail
ing from Liverpool of late have been SELL
ing immigrants tickets by way of the Do
minion line, which lands them at Portland,
Me. Until very recently the number of i'm
migrants arriving at that port was very
small, and in consequence only one inspec-
tor was employed there. The purpose of
the ticket sellers was to avoid the rigid in
spection at New York and Boston, and a
few days ago they succeeded in landing
eighty-five Russian Jews, who were in such
destitute circumstances as to require i'm
mediate attention. Superintendent Stump.
in order to prevent any further evasions Of
the law, has increased the inspection force
at Portland, where the law will be enforced
hereafter as rigidly as at any other port.

The gallery was filled with people by the
time O'Hooley had finished his remarks.
There were ladies from the fort and ladies'
from the city. The sixth cavalry has
made itself popular since its arrival. and
the number of fashionable turnouts that
lined the road in front Of the drill hall
attested to the fact. At o'clock the regi-
mental band took its place in one corner
and from that time there was an hour and
a half of fun and.excitement. The riding
officers at Myer believe that anything that
tends to make man better horseman
makes him better soldier. With this
idea the fancy and trick riding has been
encouraged, and yesterdays public exhi-
bition showed the high proficiency that
has been attained.
