owosso BOYS SUDDEN DEATH

Fred Robinson of This City, a Victim of
the "Blowing up of the Maine"
Fred Robinson was killed instantly at
Dansville, Saturday night, while preparing
the explosives for an exhibition of the
"Bowing up the Maine."
In company with Ed Youngs he had been
giving these exhibitions for about two
weeks past, having given exhibitions in this
city before starting out on the trip, which
has included Lansing, Mason and other
places in that part of the state On Satur-
day night in Dansvlle while loading
piece of gas pipe, the supposition is that
Fred must have got some sulphuric acid,
which he used in a part of the performance,
In contact with the powder which caused
the explosion. The waiting crowd was
startled by hearing the explosion before the
proper time, and doctor, hurrying up to
see what was the matter, found Fred al
ready dead with large part of the right
side of his face and head shot off.
Fred was about twenty-five years old and
had lived in Owosso the most of his life, for
the last few years being stage manager at
Sallsbury's opera house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. f. Robinson were
visiting their son, George, In Lansing when
the news, came, but they were notified by
telephone without delay. Mr.. Robinson
and son, George, then started for a forty
mile drive to Dansville and returned with
the remains on Sunday to the home Of
George in Lansing. There the funeral was
held Tuesday, the burial taking place In
Potterville where sister of Fred is buried
Mr.. Robinson was In Owosso few hours
Monday making some necessary arrange
ments and returned to Lansing In the after
noon accompanied by his daughter, Mrs.
Clifford Schenck. His other son, Arthur,
of Detroit, was present at the funeral.
The warm sympathy of friends is extend
ed to the afflicted family.

Owosso and he got 1t. Accordingly next
year at about this time Owosso will become
the center of interest to some three hundred
members of the association who will spread
information about our fair city in every
part of the State. OF course they will be
royalty treated while here.
Ordinarily to secure the location of con-
yention would be success and distinction
enough for one man, but this did not prove
to be true here. Evidently the members
saw in the hustling manner in which Mr..
Knapp went in for the location of the con-
vention just what they were looking for in
a president, for they paid him the compli-
ment of unanimous election. MI. Knapp
is to be congratulated upon both successes,
the latter of which was complete surprise
to him. He has appointed G. F. North, OF
this city, member of the executive commit.

THEIR NEW PRESIDENT.

M. H. Knapp, of this City, Elected Presi-
dent of the Funeral Directors Associ-
alton of Michigan.
M. FL. Knapp returned Saturday evening
from the twentieth annual meeting of the
Funeral Directors Association Of Michigan.
Probably there were not many people
who knew that Mr.. Knapp was planning a
surprise for Owosso when he left last week
for this meeting, but he was, and the sue
cess of his efforts shows that he was not
planning to do things by halves either. He
went with the determination of securing the
next annual meeting of the association for

Jim Mitchell Held Over.

The examing trial of Jim Mitchell,
charged with the murder otihis wife
on Sunday of last week, was held be-
fore Judge Hazelrigg on Friday.
Mitchell was held over under bond
of $500 and in default of bail was re-
manded to Jail. The evidence of the
only witness to the killing, the little
ten year old stepdaughter of the de-
PENDANT, developed the fact that the
couple were engaged in fight when
Mitchell struck the woman the blow
that caused her death.
The three little children of the
couple, worse than orphaned, are in
the keeping of Mr.. Joseph Swartz
till some disposition can be made of
them that will insure their future.

Melanchthon said, "Trouble ant
perplexity drive us to prayer, anG
prayer driveth away trouble and per
plexity." Well and truly stated
These things work both ways. Nc
christian ought to make it necessary
that trouble and perplexity will drive
him to prayer, but as a matter of fact
some christians get so prayerless that
something out of the ordinary is
needed to drive them to earnest pray
ing; and then, in turn, such praying
drives from them the very things
which induced them to pray. 1t is
also true that even those who keep
up daily prayer are made more,Epray-
erful, intensely prayerful, by trouble,
and then they get relief from trouble
by prayer.--Northern Christian Ad-
vocate.

Tobacco Settinu,

We heard of number of our

was sufficient to make fairly good
season. Up to yesterday we had only

that had been put out in this county.

SWALLOWED A FIRE.
Finnegan Wanted His Internal Con-
fagrntiOn Put Ont as Quickly
as Possible.

One of the first men TO reach San
Francisco with a hoard Of Klondike
gold was an Irishman named Finnegan,
who had been very poor before ne
struck it rich, and who, consequently
was unfamiliar with many ordinary
usages of life of luxury, says Harper's
Magazine.
"Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, airily, as he took
seat in one of the finest restaurants IN
Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before
him, and Finnegan, looking about him
for something TO put on them, and
hardly knowing what that something
should be, spied a bottle of TobascC
and proceeded TO season the bivalve'
not wisely but too well.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork, HI
thrust it into his mouth, then leapet
10 his feet with terrific roar of pair
and began dancing about and yelling
| like a madman.
"see herei" cried the proprietor
rushing TO the table. Keep still, o
I'll put you out!"
"P-p-put me out. is it? Oi wish ye
would put me outl" yelled Finnegar
