Band Tournament.

The Owosso City Band left the city at
o'clock Wednesday morning for Lake
Odessa to participate in the band tourna-
ment at that place and to secure, If possible,
the October meeting for Owosso. They
were met at Lansing by the representative
band of that city and were joined by other
bands along the route. Nineteen cities and
towns were represented and all seemed to
be prepared to make a big rustic for the
October tournament, but the plum already
rested between Owosso, Lansing, and
Greenville. Owosso and Lansing bands
made strong efforts to secure 1t but evident
ly Greenville had come prepared financially
and otherwise for hard fight, and succeed
ed In winning. Though the day was very
rainy and the streets muddy, most enjoya-
BILE day was spent. The Owosso boys
received many compliments for their fine
appearance and harmonious playing. On
their return they reached this city at 2
o'clock.

Wednesday Mr.. Remington, the senior
member of the firm of Beardslee & Rem
mington, grocers, narrowly escaped being
struck by an Ann Arbor, train. He was
riding in delivery wagon and could not
see the approaching train. A person stand
ing near at the time saw him drive upon
the track, and tried to inform him of the
danger he was In, but he could not hear.
The rear end of the wagon was struck by
the engine in such a manner as to knock it
off the track, but no damage was done.
Mr.. r. is highly elated over his escape from
injury.

To THE CITIZENS OF Owosso:-
MY Dear Friends:-While standing at the
chaplain's tent among a hundred others,
waiting for the mail to be distributed, ell
wishing, expecting news from home, your
letter of the Goth inst, enclosing draft was
handed me, In which you inform me of the
splendid gift from my friends In Owosso.
That was pleased but family expresses it,
for it Is ''sweet to be remembered" and
there are times and circumstances which
make 1t doubly so, and 'this is one Of
them"
Now that we have left our dear old state,
have had to pitch camp under adverse cir
cumstances, and the questions of water,
food and sanitary measures come up,
begin to realize the responsibility of being in
command of body of men, and as we are
thrown more and more upon our resources,
the uncertainty of the future becomes more
and more apparent and with 1t thoughts of
the friends we have left behind.
To know that one has friends is great
encouragement and spur to our duty.
That have friends in Owosso, is evidenced
by their valuable remembrance. l wish to
say to you all, that fully appreciate 1t and
thank you with all my heart and shall do
all in my power to prove myself worthy of
your esteem and confidence. Yours truly,
PAUL M. Roth,

BIG HOOSIER FAMILIES.
Discoveries Made by the Howard County
Und.) Truant Omcer While Hunt
ing for .sHookies."

Kokomo, Ind, Oct. 22.-This week
rruancy Officer j. w. Parsons, while
out skirmishing for ''hookies' under
the new compulsory education law,
discovered three remarkably large
families in Liberty township. One
family of 16 children of school age
was discovered in a small hovel, all of
the barefooted and almost naked
and starved. They were equipped by
the trustee and sent to school, The
family of John Troyer is the largest
on record, comprising 40 children of
school age, Mr.. Troyer being the IA
Their of 30 and the stepfather of s. He
has been three times married, and
there are five sets of children in the
family, the last two wives being wild
ows with four children each by former
husbands. The Troyers comprise the
entire school district. Another large
family is that of David Jones, presi-
dent of the board of trustees of Green
town, he having 20 children. There
are 80 souls in the three families.

CUBAN EVACUATION.
&c May Not be Brought About as Early a,
Hoped for Owing TO the Enormity
of the Task.

Washington, Oct. 22.-It is now GER
tain that the complete evacuation of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the period
originally fixed by the administration.
This will follow entirely without ref
erence to anything that has occurred
in Paris before the Paris peace COM
mission. The war department has
about satisfied itself that the task inn
posed upon the Spanish authorities,
namely, the removal and transporta-
ton to a great distance by sea of about
10000 soldiers, sick and well. with
their accoutrements was beyond the
ability of the Spaniards. The magni-
tude of the task is shown by the fact
that the great transatlantic steam
lines crossing the Atlantic from New
York, all combined, in prosperous sea-
sons, transport only about $4,000 per-
sons in one year-less than half the
number that the Spanish officials, with
their poor facilities were expected to
transport in about ten weeks. Delay
in the evacuation of Cuba will ca use a
delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for Deem
Der 1. 1t is hardly deemed prudent to
undertake to assume to take charge of
the municipal affairs of Havana so
long as the city contains a strong gar
rison of Spanish troops, and it is felt
that law and order could be better
maintained in such centers by allow
ing them to remain under Spanish
jurisdiction until they are evacuated
by the troops and reoccupied by Unit
ed States troops.

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.
Exception8l Interest Taken in the Celebra-
tion of che Anniversary of Nelson's
Great Victory in London.

London, Oct. 22.-Exceptional inter,
est was taken in the celebration of the
anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar.
on October 81, 1905, when the British
fleets under Admiral Nelson, gained a
brilliant victory over the fleets of
France and Spain, commanded by Ad-
miral Villeneuve. The cause of this in
creased outburst of patriotism here is
the dispute with France over the
Fashoda question, which, in some
quarters is looked upon as a matter
that may possibly bring about war
between the two countries. The Nell
son column on Trafalgar square was
profusely decorated and entwined with
a chain of laurel leaves, while laurel
festoons hung from each corner of the
capital to the lions at the base,
which was deliberately embellished
with anchors, wreaths, flags and ever
green's, with a background of crimson
cloth. There were also floral shields in
each corner, inscribed with Nelson's
great victories, ''St. Vincent" Camper
down." 'The Nile" and Trafalgar"
The morning was showery and mis-
ty, but many hundreds of people were
present to cheer the hosting of the
Union Jack on the top of the pedestal
at eight o'clock.

THE WAR INVESTIGATION.
The Commission Arrive at Atlanta, Ga,
and Proceed to Fort McPherson-
No Complaint Encountered.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 22.-The war in.
vestigating commission arrived here
over the Southern railroad yesterday
at ten o'clock and after calling upon
Gen. Pennington, in command of the
department, proceeded to Fort Nc
Pherson. The only work to be done
here is in connection with the hospital
at the fort. The members separated
into parties of two each for the pur-
pose of visiting the various divisions
of the institution.
They found the barracks at the post
had been transformed into hospital
wards, and notwithstanding the day
was wet, the wards were all found to
be comfortable and warm, made so in
each case by large stove in the CEN
ter of the room. There are now 322
patients in the institution, and many
of them are convalescent.
The commissioners talked with sur
geons, nurses and patients. They en-
countered no complaint from the sick
men, and nurses stated that the work
was constantly growing less and less
irksome, owing to the decrease in the
number of patients.
They also visited the mess hall of the
convalescents while they were at din
ner, and the diet kitchen while din
ner was being prepared. They
found the men in the mess room
abundantly supplied with food and
partaking of it with a relish known
only to men who have just recovered
from typhoid fever.

SITUATION AT MANILA.
Bulletin Posted by the War Department
Giving Portions of q Dispatch Re-
ceived by Gen. Miles.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The war de-
partment has posted the following bull
letin:
Under date of Wednesday, Gen. Otis
cabled the war department the ''situa-
ton in Luzon somewhat improved. In
fiuence of Filipinos of education and
property not desiring independent
government, but hostile to Spain, gain
ing ascendancy in revolutionary coun-
ellis. Promising nothing, but enforce
ing the law. Complications seriously
affect inter-island commerce and di-
minish revenue. Affairs progressing
favorably, though sick report increas-
ing, owing mostly to carelessness of
enlisted men. Health of officers good.
Condition of city and facilities for
quartering troops improving. Fever
decreasing. Intestinal troubles about
the same. Many slight ailments;
smallpox apparently arrested. During
the month IS deaths-eight smallpox;
eight typhoid fever; five malarial and
Intestinal complaints; three acct
dental"
Gen. Otis cabled considerably more
than the above, but the department
does not deem it advisable to make
the other portions of the dispatch pub
lie, because of its bearing upon the
peace negotiations. 1t contains sug-
gestions by Gen. Otis regarding the
disposition of the Philippines, and also
information about the insurgents.

A VERDICT FOR GAGE.
An Attempt to Compel the Secretary of the
Treasury to Grant Certain Subscrip-
lions Failed JudIcialIy.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Judge Cox, in
the district supreme court, decided
the cases of George B. Wightman and
of VIM. FL. Wharton, against Secre-
tary Gage, in favor of the secretary of
the treasury. One suit sought an in
junction, and the other a mandamus,
the basis of complaint in each being
the rejection by the secretary of the
treasury of bids submitted for the re-
cent war loan bond issue by the COM
plainants. Secretary Gage rejected
the bids, believing the bidders really
represented certain institutions. Judge
Cox held that, under the act of con-
gress, the secretary of the treasury
had discretion in the award of the
bonds, and that the intent of congress
was that they should go to individuals
to the exclusion of banks and corpora
tons.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
The Inquiry Into the Death of Harold
FrederIc-Which school was
Responsible?

London, Oct. 22.-The inquest over
the remains of Harold Frederic, the
newspaper correspondent and author,
who died suddenly on Wednesday
morning at Henley of heart disease,
was adjourned yesterday until Wednes-
day next. The evidence presented
was somewhat sensational. Mr.. Fred
cries daughter Ruth said her father
did not believe in doctors. She added
that it was with his consent, but I'M
der the influence of others that Mrs.
Mills, a Christian scientist, was sum-
moned to attend him.
Kate Lyon, a member of Frederic's
household, testified that the deceased
had asked her to call in Mrs. Mills and
the latter came to the house and eX-
pounded the system followed by the
Christian scientists. On the same day
Mr.. Frederic dismissed the doctors
who had been in attendance on him.
Most of Mrs. Mills treatment con-
tinued the witness, was what is known
as absent treatment" At the re-
quest of friends of the sick man the
doctors were again summoned, but
the deceased informed them that when
they had previously attended him he
had not followed their directions.
Mr.. John Stokes, Mr.. Frederic's
amanuensis, testified that he had in
formed Kate Lyons he might be
charged with manslaughter if Mr..
Frederic should die without receiving
medical treatment.
Doctors Brown and Freyberger, the
physicians who had attended Mr.. Fred
eric, said the deceased had suffered
from rheumatic fever, and that he
was paralyzed on one side. His death,
they asserted, was due to syncope.
Both declared their belief that with
proper treatment the patient would
have recovered.
The inquest was adjourned until
Wednesday, when it is expected Mrs,
Mills will be examined.
