President Swanzy opened the meet
ing by reading an address reviewing
the work Of the Association during the
past year and outlining the work for
the future. He commented on the enor-
nous crop just harvested and congra-
tulated the members on the success of
the enterprises. The plan of assisting
by fertilizing, he said had not been a
success owing to the fact that a num-
Der of plantations have not been

The Secretary, Mr.. Bolte, read the
minutes of the last meeting and gave

ing year s1S,239.11 which includes a
debit balance from last year.

port was filed, and the matter of rails

had been elected. In a moment the
news was sent over the wire, only to be
corrected when the news came direct
from the S. S. Adams that Mckinley
had won the day by a sweeping ma
jority. Then a shout went up from
the crowd which invaded the wharf.
The news received is of the most
meager character, the mere result be-
ing cabled to the Orient.

M'KINLEY AND HIS RECORD.
Review of Career of Next United
States President.

William Mckinley, Jr., third son of
the family, was born in Niles, Trum-
bull County, Ohio, January 29th, 1913.
His father, William Mckinley, was an
iron manufacturer, having removed
from Pennsylvania to Ohio with is
family to introduce certain iron in
terests in Ohio. Abner is a business
man in San Francisco.
His people were originally Scotch, of
the humblest sort, on his fathers side.

How the News Was Received by
the Citizens.

the Citizens.
Yesterday was an anxious one for
Honolulu, as much interest being
shown in the result of the election, as
if the Islands were a part of the Unit
ed States, and the salvation of the
country depended upon the returns
coming in early.
When the Australia did not arrive
by noon the concensus of opinion was
that Bryan had been elected, and the
bad news was better postponed. At s
o'clock the new chime whistle an
nOunced the sighting of a steamer, and
two-thirds of the town, on the tip-tOe
of expectancy, ran to the telephone,
only to learn that the City of Picking
was 20 miles off. Knowing that she
could bring the result and have several
days in which to gather up the returns
from the outer districts, the crowds
fiocked to the wharf, only to expert
ence another disappointment from the
fact that the 800 Chinese on board
would prevent her docking until day
light. when the laborers could be eX-
amined.
Then the interest of the multitude
centered on Louis Kenake and Archie
Gilfllau, who volunteered to go out in
a small boat and ascertain the result.

creditable production. The world is many
times darkened by gloomy, over-hanging
clouds, but through the riffs of which the
sunlight streams showing glimpses of the
beautiful and higher sky, so the life of hu-
manity is darkened by shadows of egotism
or selfshness but is here and there bright
ened by rays of altruism. Altruism has
been defined as "Olherism" and is a word
coined by the philosopher Kant. 1t means
devotion of ones time, talents and possess
sions to the elevation of others. In the
countenance of the egotist there are the lines
of care and harshness while in the counten-
ance of an altruist there is something celes-
tial. Altruism is the aim of great souls and
is the secret of happy and useful life.
Claude K. Bentley's essay was on the
very practical subject of illuminating
Cases." and indicated careful research. Coal
and water gases had been discovered in the
seventeenth century, but their use never at
tanned any mammoth proportions until this
century, the first use in this country being
at Baltimore in 1921. The process of dis
tilling, separating and purifying coal gas
and the processes employed in producing
water gas are somewhat complicated and
expensive when compared with the new gas
acetyene. T. S. Wilson, of North Carol
ina, discovered among the waste products
of aluminium manufacture a compound of
carbon and lime or calcium carbide. This
union can only be produced in an electric
furnace. When thrown into water the car
bon unites with the hydrogen of the water
and forms acetylene gas which rises and is
collected in reservoirs. The calcium unites
with the oxygen of the water, forming
Stacked lime which drops to the bottom of
the vessel. If the water power Of Niagara
could be used to produce electricity to make
the union of coal dust at fifty cents ton,
and lime into calcium carbide, the problem
of cheap gas would be easily solved, as 1000
cubic feet of acetylene is equivalent to 10000
feet of coal gas. 1t can be easily detected
by its odor when not burning, gives yell
lowisb-white light, and is in many other
respects better than the ordinary illuminat-
| ing gases.

Mrs. Christina Rigley.

Early Sunday morning Mrs. Christina
Rigley,mother of Charles K. Rigley, died
at the residence of her son 21S John street.
She had been an invalid for several years
and lately had failed quite rapidly.
Mrs. Rigley, whose maiden name was
Christina Butler, was born February %,
1929, in Jedborough, Scotland, and came to
America in March, 1s45, accompanying her
sister and brother-in-law, John Hall. Dec
ember 10, 1S45, she was married to Edward
Rgley at Ballard Vale, Mass. In October,
1867, they removed to Detroit, where she
lived until after her husband died, August
81, 1879, since which time she has lived
with her children, coming to Owosso in
Sept, 1889. Attending her in her last ill
ness were four of her children, George K.
Rigley and Mrs. Sarah Plass, of Detroit,
and Mrs. ID. g. Clapp and Charles K. Rig
ley, of Owosso. The funeral services were
held at the residence, No. 2lS John street
at Q o'clock Tuesday afternoon and were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. w. B. Matte
son, and the remains were inferred in Oak
Hill cemetery.

High School Notes.

The school year is nearing its close. Two
weeks from today class of twenty-five
young people will be graduated from our
high school and be brought face to face with
the problem of future being or doing. 1t
has been the custom of colleges and schools
from time immemorial for those about to be
graduated to present essays or theses. In
years not long past no matter how large the
class, all of the graduates read their essays
at one meeting. No matter how meritor-
Gus the productions the audience was bound
to get tired before the last essayist was
heard.
The class of '96 is following the method
which obtains in most of the large high
schools in this state and two of the essays
are read each afternoon at 1:3O in the as
sembly room.
Wednesday afternoon after the pupils of
the second floor had marched into the high
school room to the strains of march played
by Miss Ivah Peterson, Robert Alliton read
his essay on Life From DEATH" He said
that life is full of paradoxes and that moth
ing lives except something dies. The car
bonic acid gas exhaled from the lungs is
poisonous to animals but food for plants
which separate the carbon for their own use
and exhale the oxygen which is good for
mans use. One nation grows, reaches a
certain height and dies and another nation
rises from its ruins. 1t would be well for
us as nation to consider il we can subvert
this apparent law and whether or not this
country like Greece is to fall from its zenith
and be succeeded by brighter star. Mr..
Alliton's manner was easy and his produc-
ton showed considerable thought.
Miss Hannah Dewey read in a pleasant
manner her essay on Mythology" Every
nation of antiquity had its myths, or tradi-
tions handed down from time immemorial,
but the greatest homes of the myth were In
Greece and Rome. Mythology differed from
Christianity because it set forth many gods
and personi6ed natural powers, while Chris
tianity claimed single Creator. Myths
probably had foundation In an historical
or natural fact and many of them could be
so interpreted. Comparative philologists
had discovered similarity in the origin of
Grecian and Roman words and also in the
myths which these words told about. My
thology Is fascinating study and the
Aeneid of Vergil and the Odyssey of Homer
were cited as two of the many examples
where mythology had formed the basis of
poetry and romance. In being the basis of
the Roman empire mythology received Its
greatest honor.
Thursday afternoon Miss Christine ellison
read her essay on ''Altruism" which was q

that we have restored to us protection and

tion should go on to still higher degree of
prosperity, which can be attained by the

But few of the delegates heard the reso-

Mr.. Pulver also presented resolution
stating that Shiawassee had no other
choice for congressman than VIM. M. Kill

it worded as it was.
The matter of a second choice for governor
was then brought up, but the convention
was so enthusiastic for Col. Bliss that il
was decided to have no second choice.
The convention then adjourned.
