An Honored Citizen.

Among the pioneers of Shiawassee coun-
ty who will long be remembered for their
sterling honesty, industry, and heroic work
in making the county one of the finest in
the State, but few have done their part bet
ter than s. A. Yerkes, of Bennington, who
settled on his present farm, comprising
nearly 240 acres in 1S4S. Mr.. and Mrs.
Yerkes are both we'll known and highly es-
teemed by large circle of acquaintances.
Their friends will be pleased to know that
Mr.. Yerkes reached the roth milestone in his
life on Monday and that the event was hap
PLY commemorated by family gathering.
The congratulations to Mr.. Yerkes were
hearty and genuine, the wish being ex-
pressed by all that his life might be spared
for years to come. In honor of the occasion
flag staff was raised, from which floats a
streamer with the figures 1S27-1S97 there
on. Later on fine u. s. flag, the gift of
the friends present, will grace the staff.
Among those present were Mrs. A. M.
Hume, city; Mrs. Louis Wolf, of Phila-
delphia; 81. @. McCarty, Junction City,
Kansas; Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman McCarty, and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. McCarty, of New York

Board of Health Salary Grab.

EDITOR TIMEs:-I noticed In the various
city papers during the past three week Sc
we're editorial structures on the doings of our
city council. In the main agree with the
position taken by the city editors. The
council has no right to pay aldermen for SUI
perintending the construction Of sewers, OF
any work other than that provided in the
charter. They haye laid sewers and done
a large amount of public work In direct vio-
lation of the provisions of the city charter,
and thus continue to impose burdensome
and illegal tax upon the people. For all
this there is no doubt they could be indicted,
and they certainly should be- 1t is time
they should be made to respect the law and
their oath of Office.
But while all this is so, the arraignment
comes with very poor grace from the board
Of health. They took Office at fixed sala-
ry, knowing full well its amount and taking
their chances on the amount of work to be
done. But in order to get that extra fifty
dollars each from the public treasury, is it
not true that they set deliberately to work
and created a scare, public excitement
the like of which we never had In Owosso
before? 1t reached to such degree that
even yet all over the state we are regarded
as plaguestricken city. Our schools were
broken up (the pay of the teachers going on
meantime) and thousands of dollars worth
of trade has been driven from the city to
other towns. The latter condition of things
still obtains, farmers being afraid to come
to Owosso. The whole management of this
matter Is, in the opinion Of the thinking
community, one of the biggest outrages ever
perpetrated upon our people. The animus
OF the whole matter is easily seen when
they come before the council demanding
more pay. Being twice refused they then
have the gall to say to the aldermen "then
you shall not draw money illegally from the
treasury, either" Like the neighbor boy
who SAID 10 the other who stole the apples,
'If you don't give me some I'll tell, and
don't you forget it,"
This big scare was entirely unnecessary
and uncalled for, in short, public outrage.
IL the health officer had gone quietly about
his business and quarantined those who &C.
tually had the disease, as has often been
done heretofore, there would be no more
spread of it-no more deaths than there
have been-our schools would have gone on
unimpaired, and our merchants would Have
reaped the benefit of the trade which has
gone to other towns. But of course that
would preclude the getting of that extra
fifty dollars, and the parading of the "Big
Indian;' and, too, 1t would prevent exhibit
ing the loyal sacrifice made in the interests
of the dear people, of twenty.four dollars I
day. Oh, dear! what a farce!

To Continue Business.

The many warm friends of j. j. Davis
throughout the county will be pleased to
learn that he Is to continue In business at
his old stand. The sale of his stock Of
goods under the chattle mortgage occurred
Wednesday morning. The bids started at
IS. 900 and quickly ran up to $1,000, at
which figure the sale was made to Mr..
Davis brother, A. M. Davis, Of Howell.
This result was not unexpected, still on the
announcement of the sale, satisfaction was
expressed on all sides, the clerks In the store
expressing themselves by round Of ap-
plause. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Davis
will soon be enabled to regain his formerly
large trade and to establish himself as one Of
the reliable business men of the city.
On Wednesday evening the clerks In Mr..
Davis employ banquetted Mr.. and Mrs. Da.

A Clever Trick

1t certainly looks like, but there is really
no trick about 1t. Anybody can try II who
has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure
himself right away by taking Electric
Bltters. This medicine tones up the whole
system, acts as stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve tonic.
1t cures Constipation, Headache, Painting
Spells, Sleeplessness and Melancholy. 1t Is
purely vegetable, mild laxative, and re-
stores the system to Its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bltters and be convinced that they
are miracle worker. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only soc a bottle at Will K. Collins
and j. s. Haggart drug stores.
