State Republican: 1t would undoubtedly
prove great improvement on nature IL once
in while men, like things and institutions,
could change their heads; but this cannot be
done. Newspapers, however, which are
the next thing TO human beings, can change
their names. And not infrequently they do
change them Upon looking over our file
of state exchanges few days ago, we
thought for moment that an entirely new
candidate had entered the journalistic Geld
In OwOsso. This is not fact, however. for
upon closer inspection we found that 1.-THE

OwossO Times" by which it will be known
hereafter. The legislature was not asked
to legallze the new name; but it will Ego"
just the same, and THE TIMES will continue

which it has lived and prospered for fifteen

Commissioner Bristol spent few hours

There seem to be but three candidates for
the republican nomination for Mayor. The
present incumbent, Ira G. Curry, ac-
cording to party usage, is entitled to a
denomination. He made good canvass
last year and was elected in spite of the
feeling among prominent party men that he
would be defeated. For this he is entitled
to credit and If he can do as well this year
the party owes him a denomination. Otto
l.. Sprague is one of the most popular and
efficient young men in the party in this city
and he is supported by large number of
the leaders for the nomination. He would
poll full party vote and, we believe, would
get large share of the floating vote. His
record as an official is good and 1t is believed
he would bring store of parliamentary
knowledge to bear as an executive that
would be of great value to the city. His
friends are positive of his election against
any man in the city and it is desirable that
the republican ticket be elected from top to
bottom and IL his candidacy ensures this,
where doubt exists, he should be well con-
sidered as candidate. Miles l.. Parker,
of the new fifth ward, is urged by the voters
of that section as a man of experience in the
council, acquainted with the work that will
be IN the hands of the board and has proved
his capability of vote getting, at least in
that part of the city. We do not expect a
fight for this nomination. Public good
must control and party interest be second
airy matter, yet as the men are all qualified
the party interest predominates as far as
the nomination is concerned.

Talent Appreciated.

The concert at the Congregational church
Wednesday evening was one of the most
satisfactory entertainments to the musical
people of Owosso, that they haye had the
pleasure of attending in long time. The
Interest in the work of Miss Mabel Ferry
and Miss Helen Duff was very manifest,
and the admirers were well satisfied with
their efforts. VIM. Harris is so well known
here as to be almost considered an Owosso
man.
Miss Ferry has in so short time be
come an expert violinist, that it seems al
most incredible. Her execution of the
several difficult selections was remarkable,
and being played without notes, shows
marvellous memory.
Miss Duff's ability seems to be unlimited,
and through ,he organ she is able to show
it, bringing to herself most ehyiable repu-
tation. Her rendition of the overture to
William Tell was enthusiastically received
Mr.. Harris is popular and powerful
singer and his songs were both loudly en-
cored. He-responded to them, pleasing the
listeners exceedingly.
The work of the chorus was of a high or.
der, and is the result of the interest aroused
by its most excellent leader, A. Z. Ferry.
He is able to make the very best use of
every voice, and it is fortunate thing for
the city that he remains and gives so freely
the time and energy which would command
a high salary if he choose to enter the work
permanently.
Miss Faxon, and the solo by Mrs. Travis
were rendered very acceptably.

Place Linton Covets.

Washington, March 9.-Ex- Congressman
Linton has made an application for the
chiefship of the bureau of engraving and
printing. He is backed by the Michigan
senators and by nearly all the delegation in
the house. In addition, he has the support
of the entire A. p. A. organization. He is
the only candidate as yet in the field, but
the place is a good one and will attract COM
petition.

There seems to be feeling among the re-
publcans to nominate and elect councilman
who will be active, careful and economical
in conducting the city's business; men who
will consider in a parliamentary and broad
manner the questions brought before them,
looking out for the interests of the city as
city and not as wards, each struggling to
get the best of the other. If this class of
men are nominated there is almost certain
ty that they will be elected and then the
conduct of affairs will lot be for personal
gain or for making sure thing of re-elec-
ton, but tlleir acts will be on that plane
that will make it pleasure to the voters to
keep them in the council. The best men in
the city should, If requested by their fellows,
accept and take an active interest in their
own election and bring to the management
of city affairs that good judgment and una
nimity that has sometimes been lacking.

of a whole play by one man, who
assumes the various characters.
Flowers is a wonderful impersona-

tertainment here next Monday
