BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
For the Rebuilding Of the Wooden Mills.

Harry Moore informs the RECORD that
the outlook for the rebuilding of the
Wooden Mills is steadily growing better.
Provision has been made for the build
ing site and all the machinery needed,
provided a suitable structure can be
erected. A building adequate to the
needs Of such an institution will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000 We learn
that two of our leading business men
have espoused Mr.. Moore's cause and as
soon as the rush of the holiday season is
over, will devote their time to raising
the necessary funds among the business
houses of the village.
1t is certainly a worthy cause and we
trust that no one will refuse to contri-
butte something, not from charity, but
because the reopening Of the wooden
mills means both individual benefit to
our business men and general contri.
button TO the prosperity of the village.
A sufficiently long time has elapsed
since the old mill burned to make every
one aware of the truth Of these state
ments. Only small percentage of Mr.
Moore's trade came from Gratiot county,
people coming as far as forty or fifty
miles from the adjoining counties
There are great many people in this
section of the state who insist that they
must have the carded wool from
which to make their own yarn and will
come long distance to obtain it. And
when they have reached the Mecca
where il is found, it is reasonable TO
expect, and past experience proves, that
they will do other trading. But if there
is no wooden mill within driving distance,
they will not come so far just to trade
in Alma, as we have seen this fall since
this calamity befell Mr.. Moore and the
village.
We are glad to say that the proposition
to rebuild was not made by Mr.. Moore
but was first advanced by some of our
business men and we do not doubt but
that all will come to the front and res
pond literally when the opportunity is
given.

ANOTHER POLISH CHURCH RIOT
Bullets. Bricks and Clubs Fly in Every
Direction and Many Persons Are
Seriously Iriured

BAY CITY, MICH, Jan. s. = The st.
Stanislaus Polish Church troubles, which
have been agitating the COMMITMENTS "
that parish for more than year, oroke
cut afresh to-day, and riot ensueo III
whic ch one man was shot and severely IN
jured and several others were badly hurl
by being beaten with clubs.
The injured are: Joseph BartSowlk,
shot in the neck and breast; James Staz-
hinski, beaten into insensibiliuy with
clubs; Alexander Yonkowjak, severely
beaten with clubs; Police Officer Fitzger-
aid, beaten with clubs
The trouble started yesterday when
Father Bogacki, the priest of st. Stanis-
laus parish, refused TO celebrate mass over
the remains of a member OF st. Michael S
Society. He also refused to give up the
banner of the society, which was in the
church, and a riot was only averted at
that time by the priest delivering the ban
ner to the iniuriaed Poles.
The warning faction held meeting last
night and decided to reopen the war.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning a
mob began to gather about the church and
parsonage They demanded that Father
Bogacki and his bodyguard leave the
building. which the priest refused to do.
Then the mob attacked the parsonage.
The handful of police which had been sta
toned about the house were powerless to
stop the onslaught OF the rioters. A fusil-
lade of stones, bricks clubs and every
handy missile was directed against the
house. An attempt was made to break in
the front door, when Officer Fitzgerald,
who was on duty inside the house. it is
claimed, fired at the leader, Joseph Bart
kowik, two bullets striking him-one in
the neck and the other in the breast.
In the meantime James Stazhinski,
Joseph Sroki and Alexander Yonkowjak
of Father Bogacki's bodyguard tried TO
escape by jumping from the windows.
Sroki managed to get away from the
crowd, but Stazhinski and YonKowiak
were nearly beaten to death before the
police could rescue them.
Father Bogacki and the rest of his body
guard took refuge in the cellar, where they
remained until l o'clock this afternoon,
when an agreement was reached whereby
Father Bogacki and Officer Fitzgerald
were promised a safe passage if they
would vacate the house. When the priest
and officer appeared, the latter became
scared and started to run. He was dubbed
several times over the head. but managed
to leave the mob behind and give himself
up to the authorities at the Central sta
ton. Bogacki was not molested, and was
driven to the st. James parsonage. After
the priest had vacated the crowd slowly
dispersed. During the riot, it is said,
dozens of shots were fired. There is fear
that the police will set fire to the parson-
age tonight.

If there is weak spot in the body, dis
germs will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and

Weakness is predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gem

safeguard against disease Debility of
any kind is direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures oS per

it puts the whole body into hearty.

inflammation, heals the broken men,

All persons who are interested in realiz-

where the union sought to foreclose a

Kinley leaves on the Baltimore and Ohio
ct $40 o'clock Wednesday morning for
Canton to meet Senator W. B. Allison of
Iowa, who will stop for few hours in

tween the senior Senator of Iowa-who
has twice decided to remain in the Senate
when an important Cabinet position was
offered him-and the President-elect, who
is avowedly seeking the strongest men he
can find for his official family, will be the

Senator Allison in his Cabinet, but it is

whether such tender is to be made at all.

until early next week. There will be a

Major Mckinley, and the number of peo-

1 Low Death Rate.

Dr.. S. J. Crumbine, as Health Officer
Of Ford county, has made his annual re-
port to the State Board of Health. He
reports the total number of deaths in
Ford county. for 1896, from various cases,
At IS persons. No county anywhere
shows smaller per centage of deaths
compared to population. The death rate
in cities is usually from Is to 25 per 1000
population with an average of 20. Ford
county has population of about $500.
According to DR.. Crumbine's report the
death rate is about 6 persons to every
1000. This is very low death rate and
is proof of the claim that Ford county
and Western Kansas is healthy section
Of country, and establishes the fact OF
the desirability of this region as health
resort.
