An Honored Citizen at Rest.

On Tuesday morning at Z o'clock Hon.
Henry p. Atwood breathed his last at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. G. Trumble,
on north Washington street, having been i'll
and confined to his bed since the latter part
of March, suffering from an attack of grippe
which gained strong hold on his constitu.
ton, as he had not been strong since having
had stroke of apoplexy two years ago.
Mr.. Atwood was born in Tompkins Co.,
N. Y, In 1922, coming to Michigan with
his parents in 1886, locating in Ingham
county, where he laid the foundation for
the active, useful and busy life which he
afterwards led. After attending semina-
ry at Oberlin, Ohio, he took up the profess
sion of law, being admitted to the bar In
Saginaw, in the meantime serving as clerk
of Ingham county. In the fall of 1854 the
people of Tuscola county (whither he had
removed and settled at Centerville, now
Caro- elected him as their representative to
the state legislature, learning at that time
that he was man whom they could depend
upon with absolute safety to care for their
interests. Subsequently he was elected su-
pervisor of Indianields and Junita town
ships, the first president of Caro- (serving
two terme) and prosecuting attorney Of the
county five terms, discharging the duties of
the several positions with great credit to
himself and fidelity to the people. In poll
tics he was strong advocate of the princi-
pies of the republican party.
Mr.. Atwood came to Owosso six years
ago as the silent partner In the drug firm of
o. l.. Sprague & Co., and lived quiet life.
although he had formed large circle of
acquaintances, who esteemed him highly.
Mr.. Atwood was an unassuming gentleman,
finely educated, of a genial disposition, but
withal man of positive convictions, thus
exertlng a large influence In the affairs of
life to which he turned his attention.
Mr.. Atwood was married in 1852 to Miss
Emily Wilson, of White Oak, Ingham Co.,
who died several years ago. Six children
survive him, viz: Theron w. Atwood, of
Caro-, Mrs. Martha Il. Orr, of Traverse City,

The Baccalaureate Address.

A magnificent audience was present
at the Congregational church, on Sum-
day evening, to hear the baccalaureate
sermon, delivered by Rev. j. G. Cromer,
pastor of the church, to the thirty-six
graduates of the High School, Seated
on the platform were Supt Simmons,
Rev. John Sweet, Rev. w. B. Matteson
and Rev. j. G. Cromer, while the grad
uates occupied the front pews. The
church choir had charge of the music,
assisted by Miss Minnie Finch, of De-
troit, who sang very sweetly the solo,
'My Redeemer Liveth" Rev. Sweet
offered prayer, invoking blessing up
on our schools and all those in charge.
The address by Rev. j. G. Cromer at
tracted the closest attention of every
one present, his outspoken condemna-
ton of any attempt to injure the schools
by reducing the salaries of teacher, be-
ing commended on all sides. His adj
vice to the graduates was also timely.
The address in full was as follows:
Members of the class, graduating
from the high school in this year, 1897,
| am very grateful for this opportunity
which has come to me of speaking to
you. 1t seems to me rare opportuni=
ty. The discouraging feature about the
average preaching is that it is too gen.
eral, There is no specific occasion to
meet, no crying demand for the sermon.
And then it is preached to promiscu-
Gus audience which is so used to
preaching of a general kind that if any
particular truth should strike home to
the heart of some member of the Con-
gregation, he usually thinks that it was
not meant for him, and passes it over
to his neighbor. But here, this even
ing, we have special occasion to meet.
1t is the time of your graduation from
he high school. With the most of you
| understand that this is to complete
your school work. On what the high
school has furnished as basis of educa-
ton, you are to go to the school of life
to learn its lessons and meet it's
obligations. Others of you are to go
further in seeking an education. But
with all of you this graduation is an
event which awakens your thought.
Besides there is a pleasure in this oc-
casion, because my audience is limit
ed and homogeneous one. l am to
speak to the thirty-six members of this
class. You are all young people with
like hopes and aspirations. If can fit
the word to the need of one, then that
same word may minister to ALL And
!. am gong to utter the truth which will
meet your need. We are glad for the
presence here tonight of so many of our
fathers and mothers, companions and
friends. They make the occasion more
inspiring, perhaps, by their presence.
But in so far as the preacher is con-
cerned they were not in all his thoughts
when he prepared this sermon. If they
can get anything out of it that is good,
they are welcome, and we shall be glad
But for this hour the truth that may
minister to you need must be uttered.
And the first thing which wish you to
see is the situation from which the text
is taken.
The man sent is Joseph, God is the
sender, and the people before whom

Michigan Central Bicycle Regulations

The Michigan Central Ry. Co. recently
issued an order authorizing bicycles to be
carried as baggage. There are certain con-
ditlons, however. These are that bells,
lamps. tool bags and other attachment must
be removed or the owner Of the wheel must
sign a release relieving the railroad of all
responsibility in case the baggageman at the
station or on the train sees ft to smash or
appropriate any or all of these attachments.
There is also an exception in regard to
tandems. Baggage will be charged on
those unless there are two persons and two
tickets to each tandem. It is also ordered
that to all points outside of Michigan, bag
gage charges shall be made for the carrying
of wheels. Evidently the company intends
to do all 1t can to persuade Its patrons to
leave their wheels at home.

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN


Hon. William ]. Bryan is in our city
today and viii lecture this evening.
No man in ali the country could be
more welcome in Utah than he. To
him the people of the state gave their
first vote for president. for he repre-
sents those ideals in politics they are
striving after; and they broke down
party lines that they might do this
But Mr.. Bryan does not come to US
today as partisan, but as an Ameri-
can citizen, only less distinguished
than the president himself It is not
his first visit to the state and the
people are not wholly unacquainted
with him. Above all things else he
is man of the people, and it is that
fact which accounts for his continued
great popularity; and it is his contact
with and faith in the people that buoys
him up and makes of him an optimist;
for no man who has faith in the people,
the common people. whom God loves
because he made so many of them, can
ever become a pessimist. How can
anyone think that the cause for which
Mr. Bryan battled is lost, though it
did meet with reverse, when it fur
nishes him with such bounding hope
and faith? No matter what ones poll
tics may be, it must be a source Of
pride TO every true American citizen
to think that fellow citizen, who was
not prominent in the nation until he
received a nomination for president.
receiving more than six millions of
votes for the highest Office within the
gift of the people. can meet defeat and
not brood over it, but continue on his
mission in life cheerfully and with un-
bounded faith in his country and its
institutions. What a tribute is such
fact to the worth of American institu-
tions and American manhood,
1t is a pleasure to bid 1Ir. Bryan
welcome to Utah; and it is the senti-
ment of the people of the state.

THE VERMONT OK IS eoRED.

The Boston Herald says that the
original high tariff Jacob, the venerable
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, now rises
TO protest against the lumber section of
the tariff. He does not oppose high
duties on the ground Of their general
operation, says the Herald. Heaven
forbid, They are as right as ever, pro-
vided it is some other constituency
than his own that is injured by them.
Only when the Vermont OK is gored
does he make opposition. He is fully
in the fashion here: yet, considering
his great age, and the exceptional pc
sition he has in public life, it would
seem that he might have been spared
this matter of detail. The senate does
not vote on such matters on their mer-
its. It Will turn a deaf ear to the
appeals Of Mr. Morrill,, as it Will to
those of Senator Hoar from our state
when the hides section comes up The
vote of these senators is assured for
the bill. whatever form it may take,
and this form has been decreed by a
caucus in the face of which all argu-
ment is perfunctory. Senator Hanna
has pronounced a blessing over this
arrangement by declaring that this viii
be "the most scientific, the best bal
anced, and the most just tariff law
that this country has ever known"
Selah. exclaims the Herald.
There have been mad tariffs before,
but never one so mad as the Dingley-
Aldrich bill Even the Mckinley bill,
with all its infamies, was not so bad
as the one now under consideration.
AND what soul-stirring sight it is TO
see the people in the very birthplace
of protection. in what may be termed
the cradle Of the infant industries.
kicking like bay steers" against the
greed" of those sections which are
demanding protection for themselves.
Protection has become ubiquitous, and
seems to have reached the stage of the
great guns and the heavy armament
the bigger the gun the
thicker the armament. with the result
that both are where they were before,
save for the burden Of weight and the
tremendous expense. The present tariff
grab may be likened to savages run
ming amuck, for all who are INDUCING
in it are driving their knives into
those in front of them. What a great
grab feast the nation is INDUCING in!
