Fun for the Rooters.

The business men Of st. Louis chal-
lenged the Ithaca business men TO play
game of ball but the Ithaca giants,
with terribly enlarged heads over their
recent successes on the diamond, calmly
folled their arms across their manly
bosoms, rolled their eyes heavenward and
exclaimed in the language of the illus
trious Corbett, "go and defeat some in.
ferior antagonist first" Much as the St.
Louisites detested the idea they sue
combed to the inevitable and challenged
the twice vanquished twirlers of Alma.
The challenge was promptly accepted
and today the two teams cross bats on
the Alma diamond. 1t is TO be hoped
the visitors will be defeated by a large
score. However, whichever side is vic
torious the visitors and their wives will
be entertained by the Alma team at the
Wright House.

A young man by the name of Arthur

had succeeded in having several minor
engagements, but each time friends had
intervened and no casualties were re-
ported. For few weeks past he has
been lying in ambush for one Frank
Stevens, a respectable gentleman OF
Shepherd, about fifty years old and a
thresher by vocation. The young war
rior spied this same Stevens driving
past his wigwam on Sunday last and
mounting his bicycle in lieu of the
proverbial pony he took after his prey,

that in no other manner he would be al

to comply with the request, and when he
had finished, Mr.. Fogelsong, the war
rior, was laid along by the side of his
bicycle in a condition whereby he thirst

fluid was oozing from the wounds he

Sudden Death.
Mrs. A. B. Angel Passes Without Warning Into
the Silent BEYOND

Mrs A. B. Angel Passes Without Warning Into
the Silent Beyond.
Our citizens were very much shocked
on Thusday to hear of the sudden death
of Mrs. A. B. Angel early in the morn
ing. Mrs Angel has been staying at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Coleman, in Wheeler, for some time
past and arose and dressed as well as
usual on Thursday morning but had
hardly stepped out of her room and had
just spoken to her son-in-law when she
suddenly threw out her hands and fall
ing to the floor passed away with only
few gasps. She had been under the
physicians care at different times for
about year being treated for heart dis
ease and her death as probably caused
by the failure of her heart to perform
it's necessary duties. The remains were
brought TO Alma last evening and the
funeral services will be at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs Isaac Russell, this
afternoon at two o'clock and will be
conducted by the D. of R. of this place,
which society she has been a long and
respected member of. The remains will
be laid at rest in Riverside cemetery.
Miss Elvira j. Drew was born near
Grass Lake, this state, fifty eight years
ago. At the age of twenty-four she
was married to A. B. Angel, and re-
sided near Leslie. Four years later they
moved to Gratiot county and settled on
farm Later they moved to Alma and
purchased what was then known as the
McCarty House. They changed the
name to the Angel House and managed
the same as hotel until about two years
ago. Six children were born to them
two boys and four girls, of whom one
boy and three girls are left with theii
father to mourn the loss of kind anC
loving wife and mother The bereavet
family have the sympathy of the entirt
community.

JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIERS.
Two Important Orders by the War
 Department.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Two orders have been issued by the war department which are of importance to the sick and wound ed troops and their friends. One author izes men who have been furloughed from hospitals to report to the nearest govern ment post instead of pelng compelled to report to the hospital from which they were furloughed. This will allow the soldiers to be transported from the near est post to their regiments at the ex- pense of the government. Before this order was issued a soldier on furlough from the hospital could not go home without being compelled to pay his fare back to the hospital. This will apply to men from the regular army as well as to volunteers.
 Another order allows a furloughed man who has not been paid on account of his regiment being in Cuba, to go to the nearest Quartermaster and obtain from him transportation to his home, and the cost is charged to him through the pay department of the army. Many wounded soldiers from Cuba have been. unable to get pay on account of the absence of their regiments, and when their fur loughs Were obtained could not go home because they had no money. As some of them have not been paid for. two or rthree months. they cannot take advant- age of the xfurlvughs that . have been granted them and so to their homes These two orders will allow soldiers on furlouRh to go home and return without the. dimcuItfes they have heretofore ex- .-..
