The Woman's Literary Club.

The Woman's Literary Club spent from
two to four o'clock Saturday afternoon with
Miss Marie Brewer, 642 North Water street.
This was the first meeting of the season and
was well attended.
Miss Edna Ravens presented an excellent
introduction to "The Study of the English
Romantic Poets," which is the general topic
of the work for this term. The winter
terms work is planned to take in and coop
crate with Prof. r. G. Moulton's lectures In
the University extension course.
Beginning with the REVIVAL Of Learn
ing" in 1882. Miss Havens showed how the
theories of Copernicus, the VOYAGES of the
Portuguese, the discoveries of the Cabots,
the invention of printing, had made possible
the glorious sunburst of the Renaissance,
which was q revival of the taste, the elo-
quence and the song of antiquity. Milton,
although considered classic poet, exerted
strong influence on the romantic move
ment. Romantic poetry has three qualities:
SUFFICIENTLY which reveals the vague long
ing and aspiration of the writer; love of the
picturesque. as shown in descriptions Of
ruins, ghosts and deeds of blood; and third,
reaction, movement opposite to that which
formerly prevailed.
Miss Maud Metz gave an interesting re-
port of the midsummer meeting of the Mich

shall have on the side of their wagons or

WHO MAY VOTE.
Important Facts for Electors to Know and
Remember.

Important Facts for Electors to Know and
Remember.
There have been so many radical changes
in Michigan election laws during tbs past
few years that all persons are not yet clear
as to who possesses the right to vote.
The elective franchise in Michigan for the
election Nov. 8, is confined to male citizens
of the United States, 81 years of age, native
or naturalized; also all of foreign birth who
resided in the state on the gath day of June,
1885, or on the LIST day of January, 1850, or
who resided in the state two years and six
month prior to Nov. 8. 1894, and had
previous to that period declared their in
tention to become citizens; also civilized
persons of Indian descent, born in the Unit
ed States, not members of any tribe; sons of
aliens who died after declaring intentions
but before naturalization may become citi-
zens on making proof and taking oath.
No person can vote who has not resided
in the state six months and in the election
district twenty days preceding the election.
No one should move after October Is. All
electors must also be registered.
Under the new city charter an entirely
new registration must be made this year in
cities of the fourth class. This includes
Owosso and Corunna. Every voter must
see that his name is registered. The fact
that you have 'always voted in this ward"
or the belief that ''they know me" or any
other excuse will not avail to secure you the
privilege of voting. You must be regis
tered. Bear this in mind and tell all your
friends. No votes should be excluded or
lost because of lack of registration.
In cities of the fourth class Including
Owosso and Corunna) the residence of an
elector is to be where "his regular place Of
lodging" is loca ted. If he eats in one ward
and sleeps in another, he should vote where
he sleeps. A person, however, may ac-
quire residence and place to vote other
than where his family resides If it is his in
tention to make his home there.

Stand by the candidates nominated by the
republican county convention. 1t could not
please all, but represented the desires of the
people at large whom the delegates faith
fully represented, and the choice of the con-
vention when fairly made should be the
choice of every republican at the polls.
Remember that you may be nominated for
Office sometime and you will then surely de-
sire the vote of every republican and be a
firm believer in the duty of republicans to
stand by the nominees. If you should
never be candidate you will certainly have
friends who are, and will then be as anx-
ious that republicans shall vote straight as
If you were a candidate in person. Re-
member this and do not give any one the
excuse to retaliate upon yourself or friends.

At the head of the county ticket this year
is the name of our present popular and eff
cient Probate Judge, Hon. Matthew Bush.
There is no position In the administration
of county affairs that requires as much
judgment, integrity and absolute upright
ness in personal character as that of the
judicial head OF the court where the widows
and orphans of the county go to have their
estates adjudicated and their property, be 1t
small or great, divided, it may be, and adj
ministered according to their rights. No
county in the state has been more fortunate
in this regard than Shiawassee, and no
county has had the benefits Of more model
official upon the bench. This is understood
by all who have had business in his court.
Indeed, those who have had business rela-
tons with him are his strongest friends and
supporters regardless of party affiliations and
do not lose an opportunity to speak good
word for him whenever opportunity offers.

One of the important Offices of the county
and one which has most to do with the prop
erty interests of our people, is that of regis
ter of deeds. A careful, correct record of
the land transactions of the county is indis-
pensable and absolutely necessary. The re-
publican nominee, Jay d. Royce, is amply
qualified 10 fill the position occupied by
Messrs Holman, Finch and Bigelow so sat
isfactorily to the people of the county. THE
TINES has every confidence that Mr.. Royce
will prove to be just the man that the peo-
pie want for this Office. He is an affable,
intelligent gentleman and well worthy the
suffrage of the voters of the county.

UNAMERIcAN SENTIMENTS.

Senator Teller Expressed Them in His Sill
Speech Last Night.
From the Lansing Republican.
One of the mOnstrous and un. American
utterances of Senator Teller in his speech
last night, was the following:
''ln my judgment, the issues before the
American people today are more important
than the issues decided by the civil war. 1t
would be better today If this nation had
been divided at Mason and Dixon's line,
with the stars and bars floating over south
ern confederacy. with slavery. and the
stars and stripes over the north with liberty
than that this country ss whole, should
remain on gold basis.

Hon. q. II. Pulver (the next prosecuting
attorney of Shiawassee county, is doing
splendid work throughout the county for

the county ought to especially remember
Mr.. Pulyer at the polls. See that he gets
even more than his party vote.

The democrats of Saginaw are on the run.
We have it on good authority that Judge
Brucker, the fusion candidate for congress
man, approached the president of one of the
Mckinley clubs and asked that no meeting
be held on Saturday evening of this week
SO that he (Brucker) could get some one to
come and hear him speak. Very properly
the request was refused and determined
effort will be- made to enroll as members of
the Mckinley club the two hundred voters
In the two wards who do not now belong to
the club, FIVE hundred already being en-
rolled. Saginaw county-indeed every
county in the district-will give majority
for w. s. Linton.

untrue. The prohibitionists notified the fu-

not guilty, was released on his own recog-
nizance and the trial was set for yesterday.

CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY
FEVER.
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove this to
All Sufferers in Owosso.

A Noted Physician Offers to Prove this to
All Sufferers in Owosso.
The majority of sufferers from Asthma
and kindred complaints, after trying doc
tors and numberless remedies advertised as
positive cures without avail, have come to
the conclusion that there is No cure for this
most distressing disease, and these same
persons will be the more in doubt and skep-
tical when they learn through the columns
of the press that DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann,
the recognized authority who has treated
more cases Of these diseases than any living
doctor, has achieved success by perfecting
remedy which not only gives immediate re-
lief in the worst cases but has positively
cured thousands of sufferers who were con-
sidered incurable. These were just as
skeptical as some of our. readers now are.
DR.. Schiffmann's remedy no doubt possesses
the merit which is claimed for it, or he
would not authorize this paper to announce
that he is not only willing to give free to
each person suffering from asthma hay
fever, or bronchitis in this city, one liberal
free trial box" OF his cure, but urgently
requests all suffers to call at w. e. Collins
81 Co.'S drug store, 115 N. Washington st 4,
within the next three days and receive a
package absolutely free Of charge, knowing
that In making the claim he does for his
cure, strong doubt may arise in the minds
of many, and that personal test, as he
offers to all, will be more convincing, and
prove its merits, than the publishing of
thousands of testimonials from persons who
have been permanently cured by the use Of
his Asthma cure. "Dr. Schiffmann's Asth-
ma Cure" as 1t Is called, has been sold by
druggists of this city ever since 1t was first
introduced, although many persons may
never have heard of it. and it is with view
of reaching these that he makes this offer.
This is certainly a most generous and fair
offer, and all who are suffering from any of
the above complaints should remember the
date and place where the distribution will
be made, and avail themselves of the same.
Persons living out of the city who desire to
test the efficacy of this most wonderful
remedy will receive package free by mail
by writing to DR.. r. Schiffmann, $50 Rosa
bel street, st. Paul Mimi, providing their
letter is received before Oct. 16, as no free
samples can be received after that date.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at D. m. train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train is composed of Pullman palace vestibuled sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed.
 Another Improvement in the Santa Fe service is in the time of the weekly tourist excursions, which now leave Boston every Thursday at 30 a. m., and reach California the following Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower and the time faster via these excur- sions than via any other.
 The Santa Fe route is the only line running entirely over It's own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west will find 1t to their advantage to communicate with $. w. Manning, New England agent of this line, at 332 Washington street, Boston.
