to Consider.

An Attractive Enterprise

The prospectus of the Detroit Tele
phone Company, just published, makes
remarkable showing.
We could certainly ADVISE all readers
who have money to invest to carefully
investigate the stock OF this company
Not for many years has more attrac'
tive and legitimate investment been Of
iered to the general public. Here is a
company, whose directors are among
the most successful and reliable OF De-
troit's conservative business men, which
has thirty year franchise from the city
and already has secured nearly five
thousand subscribers.
1t would seem that there is no possible
reason why the company should not
splendidly succeed and the stock pay
Just as the prospectus indicates. The
most attractive feature to investors, in
such an enterprise is the certainty that
every year the company will grow and
the earning power OF the stock increase.
Telephone stock has paid so enormous
ly heretofore that the general public has
not been invited to invest in it until it had
been watered several times over its orig
inal cost. There are numerous cases OF
well known business men in Detroit who
made fortunes from a comparatively
small investment in the first issue OF the
local stock. Here is an opportunity for
the public to secure full-paid, nonassess-
able stock, the first issued and direct
from the treasury OF the company. With
such showing the stock OF Detroit
Telephone Company will appeal to the
most conservative investors. The GER
tain growth OF the city, the increasing
use of telephones, the long franchise and
character Of the men directing this enter
prise should make his stock within few
years double its par value and insure rich
dividends every year. Everyone with
money to invest should place himself
in immediate communication with
John F. Holmes at the Calumet Hotel,
who is representing the Detroit telephone
in this district.
The stock now offered will soon be
picked up.

week a hurlcsque on Gilbert and Sullivan's
ever popular opera, "Pipafore," entitled

taiDed, the choruscs being particularly good
During the burlesque number OF pleasing
specialties were introduced. Miss Maud

New York song, and later, in the summer
gardeD, was compelled to respond to an
enthusiastic encore. Mike Coakley the Wash
ington boy, gave another exhibition of
artistic d1Dcing. ,
Another feature Of the bill was the singing
OF the Brilliant Quartet, composed of James
j. Maroon, first tenor; Frank Mitchell, Sec
ond teuor; Charles o. Marsh, baritone;
John H. Rapp, basso.
The cool evening made the garden a de-
lightful place and the performance there
was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Lettie LIE
Vyne, who, a dancer and vocalist, ranks
with the best OF them, made her first ap-
pearance. while the Misses Huested and
Geyer rene wed old acquaiutaDces and made
a number of new friends. The other acts
were all good, especially the dancing OF
Mfr. Tommy Harris. Taken as q whole
the performance is one Of the best put on
by the stock company. 1t will continue

Capt. Rer. of counsel for the defendant.
objected to the form OF the order which
had been prepared for Capt. swiborg's
recommitmeDt and which called for an
imprisonment Of one year, three months
and twenty eight days. Lawyer Ker stated
that his client had been imprisoned two
days in March. and he asked that the time
that elapsed from the date Of the writ

now be deducted, thus shortening the
term OF actual Imprisonment
Judge Butler decided adversely, however.
Then Capt. ker moved that the order be
changed so as to read including this day"
That was done, ami the captains un-
expired term is reduced one day. This
afternoon he was taken to the Eastern

During the discussion Capt. Ker spoke
loudly. This led Judge Butler to remark
that it was a warm day and that there
was no need for the counsellor or himself

Contractor Cabell, Subcontractor John

Back-Severai Persons Injured.
Grand Stand Demolished.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 6.-For a couple

sion from 20 cents to 81 20, and when the
time for starting arrived, the star at
Traction was not visible, she being ILL.,
The crowd refused to allow the race TO

The treasurer had, however, departed with
the receipts and when this fact was ascer-
tanned, the riders were pulled bodily from
their wheels, and the track was covered
with tacks and broken glass and the Office
was broken into by a couple Of thousand
enraged people,
