TALES OF THE DAY.
A Double Attraction.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Rev. DR..
Sprecher and a brother minister were
viewing Morse collection of paintings on
Euclid avenue the other day. The brother
minister was bemoaning the indifference
of the people of the church, complaining
bitterly of lack of attendance at nearly
all the churches in the city. 1t mattered
not how well the sermons were delivered,
the people still declined to attend.
Il venture to say, said the brother
minister, by way of argument, 'if l were
to advertise that two monkeys would per-
form in my pulpit next Sunday evening
the church would be crowded.
Yes" replied DIR. Sprecher. refiectively,
two would be better than ONE

PRESIDENT BARNES AND THE
MAYOR.

1t seems that questions concerning
the administration of the police depart
ment cannot come up in the city council
without precipitating trouble of some
kind. When the question of reorgan-
izing il came before the council Tues
day there were sharp words passed be-
tween President of the Council Barnes
and Mayor Clark, words that were lit
tie less than passing OF the lie direct.
The account of the controversy is as
follows:
President Barnes said:
Il am satisfied there is great deal
Of spite work in this, and it is not all
on the part of Chief Pratt Some time
ago 1 approached the mayor in the in
terest of harmony in the administra-
ton, and suggested a conference be-
tween the executive and the council.
To my surprise his honor replied: You
vote to confirm Pratt as chief of police
If you don't I'll see that the Third
precinct and the Democratic party
don't get a smell of anything The
appointments made by the mayor since
then verify the truth OF his intimidat-
ing declaration. Even in this police
matter we see four Democrats removed
ana hepuDllcduS put IN their place. i
am opposed to these removals and urge
that the new appointments be not con-
firmed."
Mayor Clark asked that he be per-
mitted TO speak. The privilege of the
floor was granted 10 him by unanimous
consent.

honor. you, of course, have a right to
your own opinions. but / deny that /

Logan Nation: The Salt Lake chamber
of commerce died this week. The Logan
chamber of commerce is a corpse that
only requires burial. What has come over
the souls of men that they fail to join for
common welfare? Are they so taken up
with personal gain, that they do not see
the benefit of unity? We fear it is even
so. If our business men would lay aside
personal feeling and join hands to draw
hither any one of the above named indus
trial institutions, they would be surprised
at the ease with which the work could be
accomplished.

George r. Black and Miss Margaret

Sunday Nights Fire.

Fire was discovered in the rear of the
residence of Ii. Ii. Daniels little after
midnight Sunday night, and before 1t could
be put out the whole rear of the house was
completely destroyed and the rest of the
house badly smoked up.
0dell Chapman was the first to see the
fire and he promptly aroused the family and
commenced putting the garden hose to good
use in preventing the further spread of the
flames. After the arrival of the fire depart
ment the rest of the flames were promptly
extinguished.
All of the furniture and household goods
except those In the kitchen and woodshed
were removed from the house, but what
was quite unusual in a case of that kind
almost none of the things removed we're
broken or injured by the process, or by
water The loss on household goods will,
however, reach about two hundred dollars,
with probably an equal amount on the
house, both covered by insurance. Four
bicycles belonging to the members of the
family were destroyed In the blaze. The
fire is supposed to have been started spon-
taneously from some paints and oils and oily
cloths In the shed.
The loss on household goods, insured in
l.. A. Hamblin's agency, has been adjusted
at 1894.

Robbins Factory Improvements.

The Robbins Table Co. started up its fac
tory Monday morning after a three weeks
shut down. During this time very decid-
ed transformation has been wrought in the
shop, the result of which will be to greatly
increase the convenience with which goods
are put out and at the same time to an ap-
preciable extent at least the amount of the
output. A brick foundation has been put
under the whole building and twenty four
foot extension built on the south end.
Among the smaller improvements were the
laying of new floor on the second story,
the addition of two new glue jointers and a
general shifting around of the machines on
the first floor to make more room and give
greater convenience in handling material.
Perhaps the principal change however was
in shafting. A new main line shaft was
put in on solid brick foundations and the
other four were readJusted and also placed
on brick foundations. An addition was also
built on the engine room and larger pully @,
driving wheel and belt put into use. The
factory is now in better condition than ever
before for business and will doubtless re-
turn the several hundred dollars worth of
improvements with good interest.

DEATH OF MRS. CARL PIcKERT.
Corunna and the Whole Community
Nouns the Loss Of Most Lovely
Character

Mrs. Mildred Smith Pickert, wife of
Postmaster Carl Pickert, of Corunna, passed
away Monday evening while in her home
and surrounded by husband, parents, and
few very intimate relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held at the home
yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, Rev.
K. w. Hunt officiating, the burial service of
the Eastern Star ritual being used at the
grave.
Mrs. Pickert was the daughter and only
child of Mr. aud Mrs, Clark ID. Smith, of
Corunna, and had lived there all her life
except the first year after marrying Mr..
Pickert when they lived in Detroit. She
was born on September "a, 1865, in the
very room in which she died. A little over
year ago Mr.. and Mrs. Plckert were called
on to mourn the loss of their three year old
son and those who know think Mrs. Pickert
never recovered fully from the shock. She
had been most valuable and pleasant as
sistant in the post Office since her husbands
appointment and has occupied an
important official position in the chap
ter of the Eastern Star, at Corunna.
Last week Tuesday morning she gave
birth to little daughter but her condition
seemed to be the farthest from serious
Complications set in Thursday, however,
and in spite of all that medical skill could
do she passed away.
Her loss is one that is felt by the whole
community most keenly but nowhere as it
is by the lonely husband and the stricken
parents to whom the retiring, home-loving
nature of the departed one had become
seemingly indispensable. THE TINES adds
its deep sympathy to that of the many other
friends

DROWNED IN A CISTERN.
Little Son of Mrs. H. H. Butler Formerly
OF this City Drowned Yesterday
AT Rvfon


at Byron.
The twenty months Old son of Mrs. I'll. II.
Butler. of Westfeld, N. j., was drowned In
cistern at the home of Il. Fisher in
Byron yesterday morning. The child when
last seen was playing with one of the other
children but was missed and searched for.
After hurried search the body of the little
one was found in the clstern into which 1t
had fallen. The mother who will be re-
membered as Miss Belle Carpenter was
nearly crazed with grief. The body will be
brought back today to Owosso where Mrs.
Butler has been visiting at the home of her
uncle, George Carpenter. Mr.. Butler Is ex-
pected from Westfeld, N. j. today. The
cloud cast over the homes of the relatives
can hardly be realized coming as it did but
a few minutes before a picnic reunion Of
the families In grove near Byron. Mr..
and Mrs. Butler have the sympathy of Owos-
so friends In their affi ction.
