had been expected home for some time
and was anxiously looked for by both
parents and friends on Tuesday or

his appearance letter from him was re-
ceived by his father explaining his non-
arrival. 1t seems that the day before
his discharge from the hospital as con-

KIDNAPPED.
Our Deputy Sheriff Accused Of kidnapping One

Our Deputy Sheriff Accused OF kidnapping One
Of Our Business Men.
Shortly after going to press last week
we learned that one of our business men
had been kidnapped and forced to 60 to
Ithaca on the Thursday morning Ann
Arbor train. The aforesaid b. III. re-
turned on the - 20 train but kept
strangely silent in regard to the matter
until after the 30 p IN. train had left
for Ithaca and then the truth leaked out.
S. Messenger had occasion 10 be at the
morning train to bid his daughter and
other relatives goodbye and boarded the
train TO assist them, but as he was about
to leave Deputy Sheriff Hall caught and
held him until after the train was un-
derway. Mr. Messenger was allowed to
get of at Ithaca and Immediately swore
out warrant for the arrest of the d. $.
on the charge of assault and battery
The officer in whose hands the warrant
was placed, failed 60 find his prisoner,
until he was about to board the train foi
home and then ANDY" prevailed upon
the officer, not to serve the warrant, by
promising TO return in the afternoon &c
settle the matter. IL is needless tC
say that the officer is still waiting foI
that afternoon train and it will also bt

The Methodist Bazaar.
All Former Efforts of the Ladies' OF This Church
Exeelled.

Exeelled.
The annual bazaar which was given
by the Ladies' Aid Society of the M. Il
church had been extensively billed and
advertised as real street fair" under
cover, and visit to the w. r Q. rooms
on Wednesday evening verified their
assertions
The booths were all well filled with
articles for sale and presided over by the
fair sex they made very pretty appear
ance. Perhaps the booth which at
tracted the most attention was the Jap
anese on account of the unique appear
ance of the three Japanese ladies who
were in charge. If the fair ones of this
far eastern nation look one half as
beautiful as these representatives did
we would not mind residing IN Japan.
The ladies in charge of the supper had
hard work waiting on their customers
owing to the continued rush i'll the
dining room.
1t was grand success throughout and
the ladies are to be congratulated, for it
was through their untiring efforts the
success was achieved.

That Write Up."
II Were Better Had It Never Occurred

II Were Better Had II Never Occurred.
About two weeks ago a gentleman repre-
senting 1.-The Storekeeper" trade paper
published in Saginaw. came to our town
for the purpose Of giving Alma and its
business and educational institutions n
"write-up." The article was to have
appeared in 1.-THE Storekesper" the
week of Nov. 26, but failed to make its ap-
pearance until the Issue of of Dec. 3, and
II would have been more to the credit Of
Alma and the 1.-The Storekeeper" if it
had never appeared at all. In connec-
ton with the article cuts OF The Alma
and Alma College were printed but un-
der 1.-The Alma" was placed the line
alma College" while under the cut of
the college was placed the words, The
Alma Sanitarium." The description of
these two institutions is too ludicrous to
ever mention.
In the culogy on the business men and
institutions of the town, the article
quotes the Alma Mercantile company,
occupying the large double store in the
opera house block, and Opdyke q Co. as
being the leading merchants of the
place. We are all aware that these two
firms have not been doing business in
Alma during the past year.
The entire article has the appearance
Of being written by the office boy and
he secured his information in regard to
the town from the Michigan Gazetteer
of 1897, instead Of @. +. Mason, the re-
preventative of "The Storekeeper," who
while here make many friends among
our people. At least we will extend to
him the benefit of the doubt and pray
for future deliverance from "write-ups'
in trade journals.

ChaS. Lane Dead.
Passed Away on Saturday Last AT His home II
Alma.

Alma.
Our people had been expecting the
news of Mr.. Lanes death for some time
and were not very much surprised on
Saturday to learn that the grim reaper
had been in our midst.
The deceased had been suffer for
some time from failing health and Ge.
sease contracted while in the army, and
only recently recovered from a very Sc
we're attack which kept him confined TO
his bed the latter part of the summer,
and only few weeks ago his familiar
face was seen upon our streets.
The funeral was held from the NJ. K.
church on Tuesday attended by the rel
atives and large number of friends,
and the local O.. A. Il. post of which he
had been a long and faithful member.
Rev. NJ. d. Carrel preached the funeral
sermon and the remains were inferred
in Riverside cemetery.
1t was a singular coincidence that he
was buried on the fifty. second anniver-
sary of his marriage.
The deceased, MIR. Chas. Lane, was
born in the township of Campbell,
Steuben county, New York on the
fourth day of July, 1922, and departed
this life on Dec 3rd, 1898, being at the
time of his death Is years and fi> {
months of age.
The deceased was married to Miss
Phoebe Root in 1916 who still survives
him Eight children were born to them
six of whom are living, two dying in in
fancy. MIR. Lane experienced religion
in 1856 and united with the Methodist
church at Hornellsville, New York, ir
the same year. The family altar was
kept up until he was unable to kneel il
prayer
He enlisted in 1862 in the 10th New
York Volunteers, and served his county
two years at which time he was honor
ably discharged on account of disability
Upon his return home, after regainipe
his health, he resumed his work as q
miller, which occupation he followed
until his health failed him, some twelve
years since. He removed to Michigan
from New York and settled in Alma
seventeen years ago where he has since
resided.
The deceased was kind and loving
husband and father, an honest, upright
and noble citizen, whose love of truth
justice and right endeared him to al
with whom he came in contact. BelovC {
by all who knew him, his name will bt
cherished and remembered for hi
many acts of loving kindness anC
christian charity toward his neighbour
and friends, who in loving remembrance,
can only say
Farewell father, farewell father,
Peace ul be thy silent rest.

Committee to Consider Change in

 At the last meeting of the general conference of Congregational churches of Connecticut the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That a com mittee of five be appointed to consider whether any changes are needed in our Sunday laws, or the mode of their en- forcement, and to take any action in regard to obtaining amendments to the present laws, or increased efficiency in their enforcement, which they may deem advisable, and that said commit tee be authorized to invite the coop eration of similar committees of other religious bodies and other organizar tions, and of invidivuals, in the furth- erance of said objects.
 The committee met in New Haven yesterday afternoon, October IT, and determined to invite other religious bodies and a large number of other in stitutions and organizations in the state to appoint similar committees, with a view of ascertaining the gener- al sentiment of all classes in the state as to the proper mode of Sunday ob- esrvance and as to the extent to which Sunday observance should be enforced by law.
