Happy Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo Wesener gave re-
ception to over three hundred Of their
friends Friday evening in honor of their
fortieth wedding anniversary. Their hand
some residence, corner of Michigan avenue
and Clinton streets, was brilliantly lighted
and charmingly decorated with evergreen
and potted plants. Smilax was draped In
profusion and branches of holly with the
bright red berries were to be seen on every
hand, giving a bright cheerful effect, which
was still further frightened by roses and
carnations. A large wedding bell bearing
the words "Forty Years." was hung in the
room where the guests were received.
No reception or gathering at the Wesener
home ever lacks for music, and that the
best. This time was no exception and
August Wesener with bis orchestra at the
head of the stairs filed the house and
charmed the ears of the guests with their
sweet symphonies.
AS the guests entered they were shown to
the dressing rooms by the Lucas brothers,
and on returning we're presented by them to
the host and hostess, who were standing
under the wedding bell. Near the host and
hostess stood their two sons, Hugo Wesener,
Jr., of Saginaw, and DR.. John A. Wesener,
of Chicago. who, with their wives, assisted
in receiving the guests.
From the reception room the guests were
ushered by Mesdames }. j. Davis and A. K.
Stever into the refreshment room. Here
coffee was served by the Misses Nettie Mat
lock and Grace Mead. Oyster salad. white
bread, sliced turkey with jelly, pineapple,
sherbet, cake and bon bons were some Of
the other things which tempted and satisfied
the appetite of the guests. The wants
and even the very wishes of the guests
were anticipated by the Misses Emily and
Annie Thomas, Alma Kraugman. Name
Lawrence and Clara Woodland, who waited
upon them in a charming manner.
Upon leaving the refreshment room each
caller was greeted by Miss Laura Matlock
and presented with pretty white satin
ribbon, upon which were printed the
portraits of Mr.. and Mrs. Wesener with the
dates and places of the wedding, 1855, in
Saginaw, and Of the anniversary in Owosso.
The affair was a pleasant one in all respects
and the wishes for more years of useful
ness and happiness, which the guests made
for the host and hostess were many and sim
cere.

President Kinds, of the state association
of breeders Of improved live stock, has opin-
ions of his own relative to the depressed
condition of agriculture and stock and wool
business. In his address at the fifth annns
meeting at Lansing last week he said;
"a factor In the crowding of the markets
of ouf country Is the present tariff laws,
which are practically fatal to the sheep and
wool growing industries of the whole coun-
try. Monumental in lis baneful effects to
the agriculturist and stock grower stands
out the present national policy of raising in
sufficient revenues for the support of the
government, supplemented by the un-Amer-
lean policy of selling our nigh rate or inter-
est bearing gold bonds abroad to get yellow
metal to fill the rapidly depicting treasury.
= No person who seriously reflects
doubts for moment that II the fifty fourth
congress should this week restore the wooden
schedule of the Mckinley tariff act and
same should receive executive approval,
that next week their ewes would cease to be
slaughtered for meat in all the markets of
the country. The calling of all branches of
our agriculture Is at once affected by con-
tracing the currency, by demonetizing sill
yer, by curtaiipg the sale of American pro-
auctions, by making labor and everything
else but money cheap"
Continuing President Kinds expressed his
views as follows: Continue the internal
taxation of whiskey and tObaccO-all the
traffic will bear. Raise by import or tariff
tax all the balance of revenue that the gov
eminent can judiciOusly and properly spend.
Let every dollar of 1t be so levied that it
will be incidentally protective. In other
words, levy 1t upon articles that we success
fully produce in this country. Admit other
articles free from such countries as make
reciprocal treaties with us. If necessary to
sell bonds make them payable i'm coin. not
god. and sell them only to our own people.
Return at once to bimetallism as 1t existed
previous to 1878, with the modification that
free coinage be limited to the United States
products. In returning to the protective
principle treat all interests and callings with
exact equality and justice. If you place a
tariff on woolens place an equivalent one up
on WOOL"

Had Fire New Years.

During the past week OwossO citizens
have become quite well acquainted once
more with the sound of their fire alarm
whistle. but until New Years day no fire of
any consequence had been the occasion of
its alarms. Then bad fire broke out in
Wicking & Storrer's clothing store. AT
about quarter past twelve Mr.. Storrer and
his brother shut up the store for the day and
went home. About twenty minutes later
the fire alarm sounded, but although the fire
seemed to be some where in the locality of
their store, they were so sure that their place
was all right that neither of them went back
until some one sent word to them, The fire
was first discovered by passerby who no
ticed that one of the plate glass windows
was broken and that smoke was coming out.
The alarm was quickly given and the COM
pany promptly responded. The fire seemed
to have started from somewhere near the
stove. 1t was hard one to fight but was
soon under control. The damage cannot be
told exactly as yet but the stock was valued
at SIS, 900 covered by So, 500 insurance. The
stock will probably be nearly a total loss.
The Kalamazoo Bargain Store was filled
with smoke and some damage, covered by
insurance, was dene there. The insurance
was placed in the following companies:
Western, Ontario, Granite State, United
States, Brltish-American, Girard. Hartford
Citizens, Delaware, Northern. The insur-
ance on the building was enough to fully
cover the damage done to it. The insurance
adjusters are at work today.

DISCOURAGE THE SH YSTER.
A Movement in the East to Lessen Libel
Suits


The press clubs, comprising the Inter-
national league, have taken up question OF
great public interest in formulating the
scheme of new and better law as to libel.
The present arrangement is far from salts
factory. 1t has been found to be fruitful
of mischief, an active agent of persecution,
u destructive weapon against legitimate
journalism in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
and disreputable persons. Every year the
newspapers are compelled to pay vast sums
the average is about $3.50, O0O-for costs
in cases where no damages are awarded.
and where the plaintiffs VIGOROUSLY have no
grievance. The thing has grown into
scandal, reproach to our civilization and
our public morals.
A fruitful cause of this deplorable abuse
is indicated in the prospectus issued by the
league, as follows:
Seventh. Speculative libel suits, in
spired chiefly or wholly by members of the
bar who violate the fundamental principles
of legal ethics, should preclude the appear
ance of such attorneys in the trial of any
case ii 1t shall be shown that they have
contract. expressed or implied, or under
standing, direct or indirect, ny which they
shall receive percentage of the amount re-
covered. lp this movement the legitimate
Journalism of the United States has a right
to expect the cordial cooperation of the
self-respecting members of the bar of the
country, to maintain the dignity of an hon.
Ored profession and eliminate from their
fellowship, those who degrade their profess
sional efforts to. individual greed"
The legal, like the other professions, is
cursed by an element of dishonesty and
vice. What the quack is to medicine, the
shyster is to law. Hundreds of these libel
suits that disgrace our courts, and Cypress
honest men engaged in legitimite business,
are brought at the instigation of disrepu-
table tricksters who hold out to avarice and
weakness the hope of plumber, and who
accept as their reward the promise of a
share of the spells. That these suits are
almost criminally. frivolous is sufficiently |
shown by the fact that SO large proportion |
of them are eventually thrown out of court, |
but that they constitute wicked oppression
of the newspapers needs no comment other
than the $3.50, 900 Of costs entailed annually |
upon their victims.
There should be some remedy for this, |
and the suggestion quoted above is most ex-
cellent and opportune. That the individual
should be protected against injury by pub
lished libel is beyond question. All honor
able journalists agree as to that. But 1t is
equally true, and equally important to pub |
lie decency, that reputable journalism |
should be protected against the shyster and |
his accomplish. --Washington Post.

Paw Paw Courier: Why was it that the
early settlers instead of planting maple
trees almost entirely for shade did not plant
more nut bearing trees. A farm shaded
with hickory, chestnut, walnut and butter
nut trees would be much more valuable
than IL shaded with naples only. Even at
this late day would 1t not be we'll to plant
nut bearing trees whenever shade Is needed.
Every spring Of water should be surrounded
by them, any farmer can plant bushel Of
walnuts and IN year or two have plenty Of
walnut trees to transplant. Less than so
years ago IN many Of the townships of Van
Buren, county, valuable walnut trees were
burned up or split into rails to get rid of
them. Now 1t would be an excellent
scheme to replace them by planting literally
of young walnut and other nut bearing
trees.
