A Midnight Crime.

On Sunday morning at 1:45 o'clock an
alarm of fire was sounded, and the depart
ment turned out to find that the house be-
longing to A. Lee Williams, on the corner
of Oliver and Ball streets, had been set on
fire by some scoundrel or scoundrels. The
fire quickly caught in the mansard roof and
then spread all around the house. Goals
dropping between the studding max
ing the fire hard one to fight
and it was not until 5 o'clock in
the morning that the flames were subdued.
The roof was entirely burned off and the
house practically ruined. The furniture
and few other things from the first floor
were saved, but everything up stairs was
burned. The house has been unoccupied
tor four years, but things in the house have
been kept in good shape. the furniture when
removed not being even dusty, while no
sign of moths could be found. The house
contained large number of very valuable
things, some Of which have been in Shia-
wassee county for over sixty years, and
were highly priced by the owner. Mr.. Will
lams was making arrangements to paint and
thoroughly clean the house this fall, and
the statement that it was eaten up and al
most gone to decay is erroneous. He did
not choose to rent or sell it, as was his priv
iege, and the setting it on fire shows that
Owosso has some creatures living here of
such character that the sooner they are be-
hind prison doors the better it will be. The
house was built in 1870 and was one of the
best constructed houses in the city. The
loss will amount to several thousand dollars.

DIR. Shady, in the Forum, gives some
of the big fees that physicians receive
from wealthy patients.
For four weeks attendance during ty-
phoid fever the physician to the prince
of Wales received $4,000.
1t is the countless homes in moderate
circumstances, however, that find it SO
hard to pay for the frequent doctors Wis
its. What the plain people want is the
very best medicine, yet not beyond their
means. They have it in Paine's celery
compound.
To prepare such great, popular rem
edy, that should embody the most ad
vanced ideas regarding disease, and yet
be easily within reach of the thousand
modest homes where sickness exists
was the lifelong ambition of the Dart
mouth professor, the greatest physician
America has produced, Edward E.
Phelps, NJ D., L. L. ID. Paine's celery
compound, that remarkable nerve reg
ulator and blood purifier, was first pre-
pared by Prof. Phelps in the laboratory
of the Dartmouth medical school.
Paine's celery compound embodied
the sound theory of Prot. Phelps, that
only by feeding and rebuilding worn
out, diseased nerve tissues could finn
health be restored. This greatest of
remedies sets to work at once to restore
the>nerve tissues and the muscular lis
sues with the means of rapid growth.
1t urges the excretury organs to cleanse
the blood, and fills it with new red
corpusces. There has never been any
thing like Paine's celery compound for
building up the system when tired out,
weak and bloodless. It has shown its
marvellous power in permanently curing
nervous debility and exhaustion, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
aches, dyspepsia, rheumatism and dis
ordered liver and blood disease-these

Annual Reunion.

Among those who keep up a regular year
ly family reunion there are probably few
families who are so successful In continuing
the gathering of the clans" as is the family
of M. Ii. and DR.. b. S. Knapp, of this city.
For years they always gathered at their
mothers home to celebrate her birthdays
with her, and when she passed away, her
sons and daughters kept up the custom OF
meeting on that day. Wednesday was an
other anniversary and this year the follow
ing relatives met with NJ. h. and DIR. B. s.

of South Lyons; Henry Knapp and wife of
Lapeer; George Murray, wife aud daughter
oPlthacu; Mrs. Westfal of YpsiIanti' and

and all had most enjoyable time.

Si2Pf% Items,

Easter Sunday was spent quietly
and the only effect was on the eggs.
No one eat so much as some Of the
Toledo boys. Siletz Is no match
for Toledo in eating eggs.
Henry Bell had an accident last
Sunday n:o.ning at his home near
the upper farm. He had been out
shooting at target with his pistol,
and went back into the house
thinking he had shot all the loads
out. He sat down and began snap
ping his pistol, and it seems there
was one loaded shell in it yet which
went off, the ball striking on the
inside Of his leg just above the
knee. The doctor cut in about s
inches, but could not locate the
bail. He is waiting now for the
cut to heal, when he will prospect
again tor the ball. The leg is too
badly swollen to do much now.
The last rain has been pretty
hard on the oats that was sown just
before the rain. Some of the boys
had just narrowed once when the
rain caught them.
Agent Gather was over to To-
ledo on the first of the week.
There has been some pretty hare
shower here i'll the past few days

ranch and go into business again.
Mr.. Waugh used to run the saloon
here, selling out 10 H. c. Wulf

The creamery business has given
quite an impulse to the COW market
i'll this vicinity. Already parties
are making every arrangement
which they can to get hold of all
the COWS they can to milk. The
Tillotson boys will start in milking
fifteen cows and expect to make
the number thirty before a month
or so. J. ID. Palmer on the RAIDER
place on Depot will milk about ten
of w. J. Wade's COWS. 1t is quite
probable that nearly all, if not all
the COWS ofthe surrounding country
will be MIXED for the creamery.
There is one man in Lincoln
county that we are absolutely proud
of. A young fellow had been fore
ing his uuwelcome attentions upon

til the father gave him notice to go

dared to speak disrcspectful of the
girl, The father heard of it and in
stead o. rushing olf to the courts,
or otherwise making a fool Of him
self, he embraced the opportunity
afforded by their first meeting to
plant a good, heavy cowhide boot
right where it would do the most
good on the offender. The fellow S
mouth was not injured, but we will
wager that he will not use ii again
to SANDER girls Tor some time to
come \ dose of boot properly adj
niuistered, is the best possible en-
edy in such cases,
