Politics will once more occupy public
attention on this side for a short space
of time today. Ward caucuses of the
Republican party will be conducted in
the Fifth and Fifteenth ward for the
purpose of selecting nominees for the
several ward offices. Although the eau
cuses will be conducted on much the
same lines as heretofore. they occupy
the unique position of inauguarating
the Crawford county system, under
which the Republican party will con-
duct it's city and county primaries dur
ing the future.
The struggle in the Fifth ward CEN
ters in the fight for the common coun-
ell and the same is true in the Fif-
teenth ward. In the latter the fray
has assumed a fierce aspect, there
being five aspirants in the field for this
honor.
Select Councilman Il. II, Williams,
present incumbent from the Fifth ward
in that branch. will be opposed for re-
election by his party by Thomas Rces.
Of South Lincoln avenue. 1t is said
that Mr.. Rees is making a strong cam
Nass. The present commoner from this
word John II. Walker, of Division
street, will be opposed for the renom-
ination by John T. James, of 3l3 Four
teenth street Mr.. Walker has an hon
Orable and able record for his first
term as an advantage which it will
be hard to overcome. Mr.. James. how
ever, is making noble fight and hon
ors so far are somewhat in doubt. SO
his friends say For the uncertain
emolumentS of the office of constable
in this ward only one candidate has
announced himself. Chester Cannier, Of
Washburn street. a well known rail-
roader is the man. Timothy Jones is
the present constable.
For ward assessor there are two can
didates. viz: John J. James of Acad-
emp street. and David Owens. of South
Lincoln avenue. The latter is not the
principal of public school No. 81. but
much older man. Both candidates
are we'll known and are striving with
might and main for the nomination.
For register of voters for which there
is one for each of the four districts,
50 far only one candidate has announce
ed himself. Griffith Jones. Of South
Robecca avenue. is out for this office
in the Third district. OF course. the
other districts will have their candi-
dates. and an election board will also
be voted for at each district.
In the Fifteenth ward so far no in
terest seems to have been taken in the
select Councilship, at present repre-
scented by Horatio Fellows. Anent the
common branch there is no lack of
interest. The present incumbent, Jo-
seph Oliver, who has so creditably filled
the office for two terms is not a candi-
date for denomination and election.
However, there are four tried and
true men out for it. They are Rich

The resolution for a light at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Division streets

Chicago for Five Dollars.

The excursion of the season will be the
one run next Monday by the Michigan Cen
trail, when people of Owosso and vicinity
will have an opportunity to visit Chicago at
the mere nominal price of five dollars for a
round trip ticket. Excursionists will suit
their own convenience as to the time of
leaving the city, tickets being good on all
trains that day.
There Is no better time than the present
for visiting Chicago, the weather being de-
lightful and the parks and bouleyards being
at their very BEST The various theatres are
also now open and the best attractions are
now being given. Great naval and military
spectacles are of almost daily occurrence.
The winter stocks of all the great retail
establishments are now complete and ready
for inspection from those who desire tC
avail themselves of the city's market This
is rare opportunity which no one should
or can afford to miss.

Larger Office Room.

The Robbins Table Co. is in the
midst of quite extensive changes in its
plant, one of the most convenient OF
which so far as the company's personal
welfare is concerned, being the change
of Office room. The company has out
grown the small office in the building
detached from the rest of the plant, and
twelve feet of the west end of the large
south building are to be finished off in
to suite of three offices, each 12x12
feet This will be much more conven-
lent than anything the company has
had yet, giving separate office for the
manager and ook-keeper, beside a
private Office where business can be
discussed free from disturbance. The
office will then, too, be in close prox-
unity to the shipping and stock rooms
which will be an added convenience in
showing goods.
Instead of diminishing the factory
space by the changes, work is already
progressing on 40x50 feet addition to
the east end of the finishing shop. The
new boiler house which has also been
begun will be 14x50 feet and will be
built of brick. The small building now
used for an office will probably be used
for an oil house.
