F..W. French, of Vernon, writes that we
msquoted him in our report of the prohibit
ton banquet in saying "he was quite radi-
cal in his denial OF the right of Christian
people to be other than pr0hibitionists,"
He does not believe it christian to deny any
man the right to think rs he pleases. His
design was to urge the prohibitionsts to
consider it their duty to urge others to think
as they do about the liquor traffic.
The work of taking down the Washington
street bridge is progressing very fast. The
new bridge is being put together and will be
put up at the earliest date possible. Mean

passengers cross the river on footbridge.
The street car company runs its motor to
the south side of the river and transfers
passengers to the horse car line in operation
between the bridge and the west side. We
shall all be glad to have the new bridge and
can Inconvenience ourselves for few weeks.
Push the work.
The aim of each business man should be
to use every opportunity OF reaching every
possible customer. Newspaper advertising
is the instrument most likely to accomplish
this end. Other means have been tried and
have failed. For time, circulars were
consid cred as good means of accomplish
ing success as could be DEVISED but those
have been overdoDe and are not now read.
Circulars almost invariably find their way,
often with unbroken wrapper into tie
waste basket or fire. The newspaper is by
far the better means OF reaching the bulk of
the people. This result has been the out
come OF many experiments in various kinds
Of advertising.
City Marshal Barrisford received dis
patch yesterday from Lansing stating that
Allen Russell was in the custody of the
officers there. Russell stole a macintosh
from buggy at the fair ground several
weeks ago. Marshall Barrisford suspected
Russell and when he attempted to catch
him he skipped out and as the marshall had
no warrant he could not stop him. Since
that time Mr.. b. has been in correspondence
with officers about the state with the result
above stated. He brought the young man
from Lansing last evening and he was ar
raigned before Justice Byerly this morning.
The macintosh was the property of Frank
Cooper, of Bennington, high school
student.
