The Woman's Literary Club.

The WOman's Literary Club held very
instructive and enjoyable meeting Saturday
afternoon, with Miss Lou Satterlee, at the
residence of K. M. Richardson, $40 Lee st.
This meeting was the first of series to
be devoted to the modern prophets of litera-
ture, Emerson being the topic of this meet
Ing. Miss Luella Britten gave an interest
ing sketch Of Emerson's life, bringing out
the many incidents which served to infu-
ence or be influenced by this man of striking
characteristics. Miss Marie Brewers ex-
cellent paper on Transcendentalsm pro-
voked much discussion. Miss Maud Metz
gave thoughtful review of the argument
of THE Sphinx" poem by Emerson.
This poem is an exceedingly abstruse and
transcendental one, and, hence, difficult to
understand. Miss Della Jackson's render
ing Of several of Emerson's poems was very
acceptable.
The club usually adjourns at four O'clock,
but at the request of Mrs. Richardson and
Miss Satterlee postponed the hour of adj
jOurnment until after refreshments had been
served, which variation of the order of bust
ness was enjoyed very much. Mesdames
Charles Goodwin, f. f. Bumps, X. l.. Dew
ereaux and g. l.. Taylor were added to the
list of members at this meeting.

The resolutions as drawn up at COrunna
last week and presented in the farmers in
sttute for ratification, are no honor to the
committee who drafted them, less to the
meeting whose sentiments they are to rep
resent, and Misrepresentation of the ideas
of the farmer citizens of Shiawassee county.
Personalities such as were included in the
original code of resolutions ought to have
been beneath the dignity of the Trainer or
trainers. When avarce, cupidity, the in
ordinate desire for retaliation, takes prece-
dence of nobler motives; when the right
and just demands of a society composed of
intelligent men and women are made sub
sidiary to local in6rmity. it would seem that
something was wrong When a body of
men are named to do the bidding of meet
ing, common sense would dictate that the
society had rights to be respected, not
ignored; that personal aims were to be sec
ondary, not foremost;gbut such was hardly
the state of affairs inrthe case in question.
The committee themselves could not agree,
and the resolutions were presented unsigned.
Hot discussions followed, men left in dis
gust, the resolutions were passed not by the
unanimous sanction articles of that nature
ought to have, but against almost fatal OPP
position.
We repeat it. Those resolutions are a
disgrace to the rural districts of Shiawassee
county; an affront to intelligent men and
sound principles. The men who upheld
them and who were instrumental IN their
adoption were men who would have won
more honor to themselves and the fair name
of Shiawassee had they been conspicuous
by their absence.

A DURABLE DISEASE.
Chronic Catarrh is Pronounced Durable by
DIR. Hartman.

Chronic Catarrh is Pronounced Durable by
DR.. Hartman.
There are an almost countless number of
remedies said to cure chronic catarrh. The
most of these are of no use whatever, and
many worse than useless, being actually
harmful. A few are successful in small
number of cases-those which are very
slight and easily curable-cases which al
most get well by simply taking care not to
catch cold again. But of all this vast null
titude of medicines 1t cannot be said that
there are more than two or three which are
actually specifics, and without doubt the
most reliable is Pe-ru-na. 1t always cures
when 1t is faithfully and conscientiously
used. 1t not only cures catarrh Of the
head and throat, but catarrh of the stomach,
liver, bowels, lungs, bronchial tubes, kid
neys, and in fact any of the organs OF the
human body. 1t is indeed dreadful case
of catarrh, wherever located, that Pe-ru-na
cannot cure, or at least greatly help. IL
may be procured at all the drug stores, and
it should be given faithful trial by those
who have tried in vain elsewhere to get re-
lief.

The article published in another column,
showing the taxes in Eaton Rapids under
local option, effectively disposes of the state
ment so often heard these days that local
option means increased local and county
taxes. In Eaton Rapids the city tax on a
thousand dollar assessment for the year
1892 was 1851; 1898, $1,000; 1894, $1S.77;
1895, $11.70. The total state, county and
city tax for 1892 per thousand was $1,000;
1898, $4,000; 1894, $17.s4; 1895. $16.y4.

To Help the o. NJ. b. Organiza-

So Says an Organizer Who Want
ed to Sell
His 1nformation-His Revelations Re
suit in the Formation of an En-
tirely New Ritual

A few days ago a man called on A.
H. Vance of the state temperance IN
ion He called himself G. H. Berten-
hall and said his home was in Atchi-
son. The stranger had a proposition to
submit to Mr.. Vance. He showed his
certificate as an organizer of the o. NJ
B. and wanted to give the organiza-
ton away"
He said that he had been organizing
lodges in all parts of the state, for sew
eral months, but that he had failed to
receive the compensation due him and
he was ready to quit. He showed Mr.
Vance a copy of the ritual and bylaws
and constitution and said that he
would turn everything over to the I'M
ion for use and would besides go to
work for the state temperance union
at once.
OF course he would expect pay, but
he would not be too hard on the tenn
perance workers. If they would pay
him $500, the sum due him from the
Mystic Brotherhood he would deliver
all the secret work and details of the
organization over to the union as the
officers saw fit.
Then he entered into a long discus
sion to prove that he is valuable po-
hticaI worker and what a serious
thing it would be for the o. NJ. B. to
lose him.
He said that he had been at all the
breweries in Kansas City and found
that they were contributing literally
to the cause in Kansas and he thought
that the officers of the organization
were apprOpriating the money.
President Vance informed Mr.. Ber-
tenhaH that the union had no money
to spend and that his information could
a smaller sum to furnish the union with
a complete list of the members in Kan
sas. He said he could easily secure
the names and the union might take
the list and use the names as it saw
fit. 1t was suggested that they be
printed.
Mr.. Vance, however, refused to deal
with the o. NJ. B. organizer and he left
the city without being able to sell his
information
The news reached the leaders of the
organization. They were, however.
given to understand that Bertenhall
had made his deal with the president
of the state temperance union and that
in short time the complete ritual is
to be published with an exposure of all
the work of the organization.
This was a, serious matter and the
officers of the o. NJ. B. concluded to
head off Bertenhau. They are now
busy at work on a new ritual and the
whole secret work of the organization
is to be changed. The new ritual will
be ready for use in a few days.

WESTERN UNION RUMORS.

Boston, Sept. S.-The Boston Com

Last month we announced that the

good But what we do object to is that

Union and Bell Telephone matter in the
Bulletin was put out for stock iobbing
purposes.
THE story came to US from a non
speculative source, and we have since
learned enough to make US believe more
than ever that our statement was and
is substantially correct. The way that
Western Union stock has acted shows
that some interests are buying the
stock.
In this connection the query is a
very plain one, why Russell Sage does
not deny with equal vehemence the
dividends, and why he so earnestly
wished it to appear that our announce
ment of last week was for stock-jOb-
ing effect. 1t is very plain to our
mind that large interests have been de-
sirOus of picking up cheap stock rather
than of unloading, as SO many financial
reports have stated
Upon reading the above report, Mr..
Russell Sage said:
I reiterate the statement made last
week that there has been no consoIida-
ton of the Western Union and Bell
Telephone companies. The former has
a large but far from controlling inter
est in the stock of the latter. That is

what is called human fishing" huge
~ entertained society here yesterday.

and Samuel Powell, Jr., the angler.
Around Mr. OeIrich's waist was a
belt to which was attached one end of
the stout fishing line which Mr. Powell
reeled off from his heavy rod. The
angler then played his fish as he
would a bass, his object being to get

airy line from which he started in the
game.

however, were not to be overcome by
angling finesse, and Mr.. Oelrich, after
five minutes of successful lodging, was
declared winner of the match.

while the game was in progress and
