With five German warships facing Ad-
miral Dewey's feet at Manila and the in.
tentions of the German Kaiser still a matter
of some doubt, the leading article present
ed in The Cosmopolitan for July will be
read with interest The forty six portraits
and poses of the Emperor William which
illustrate the article are in themselves an
extraordinary exhibit. They might be de-
scribed as THE Evolution of an Emperor
shown by forty-six human documents"
Undoubtedly so large number of portraits
were never before gathered together of any
royal or imperial parsonage.

THE MAYOR vHroEs
The Resolution Of the Council Authorizing
Truss Bridge on Main Street.

Whereas the Common Council of the
City ofOwosso at its regular meeting held
Monday evening, July 18th, 1898, by res
olution decided upon the construction
of truss bridge on Main street across the
Shiawassee river in this city, and where
as to my mind the construction of truss
bridge at that point would be unsightly
and not of the latest and most modern
style for large bridges, and not as desira-
BILE or safe as girder bridge with CEN
ter pier.
And whereas, in my opinion, the con-
struction of truss bridge is not the best
style of bridge and not for the best inter.
est of tie city, do hereby veto said res
olution.
Given under my hand this 18th day of
July, 1893, at the City of Owosso.

An Explanation.

The reason for the great popularity of
Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this
medicine positively cures. 1t is Americas
greatest medicine, and the American peo-
pie have an abiding confidence in Its merits
They buy and take it for simple as we'll as
serious ailments, confident that 1t will do
them good.

Now for the Blue Ribbon Meeting.

Michigan has already been affording
the light harness steppers opportunities
for bread winning this season, but these
earlies contests will be greatly eclipsed
when the famous Grand Trotting Circuit
opens at Detroit, July Is, and continues
until July 20. Never before in the histo-
ry of the sulky has there been such an
array of speed as is now bottled up await
ing the tap of the bell at the magnificent
course so beautifully located near the
banks of the River st. Clair.
The first three days of Blue Ribbon
week will be especially attractive as the
liberal reward of $4,000 awaits the sue
cessful in the nine events set down for
that part Of the program. Interest nat
urally centers in the exciting struggle for
the Merchants and Manufacturers stake
for which field OF sixteen fleet young
trotters will compete. This is set down
for Tuesday in accordance with the time
when the first race for this rich prize
took place. Most of the horses engaged
for the tenth of these noted contests have
shown great form this season, an exam
pie being furnished by Lurline McGreg-
or who took record of 2:l13 last week.
The PAGERS in the Chamber of Commerce
stake are even faster, so that heats below
2:10 are sure to result from this race.
One of the big sensations OF the week
is on Monday when seven of the fastest
sidewheelers in the world meet in the
POP pace. There is Chehalis, the Gill
fornia wonder that recently won a great
victory at Denver, stepping one mile in
2:054, an unheard of feat for June. His
neighbor, Anaconda, that forced him out
there, will renew the conflict at Detroit,
and besides the cracks from the Pacific
slope there are Frank Agan and Frank
Bogash, the redoubtable Indian whirl-
winds; Bumps who carried everything
before him last year and is faster than
ever now; Rubenstein the magnificent
Ohio champion, one of the handsomest
horses on the turf, and Giles Noyes from
Chicago, hard nut to crack even in this
select company. This great race has
been arranged for the opening day so that
those who take advantage of the one fare
rate for the round tripo all the railroads
and steamboat lines running to Detroit
may get full value for their money. Af-
ter seeing this brilliant commencement
persons from distance holding excursion
tickets may remain until Wednesday and
witness the exciting contests for the Mer-
chants and Manufacturer, Chamber of
Commerce and the other rich stakes.
Every lover of clean sport in Michigan
should take weeks vacation and cele-
brate the recent triumph of American
manhood on land and sea by witnessing
the proves of our peerless horses in the
greotest of our national recreations.

for the two two-room additions, be APP
propriated for the erection of four room
building in the fifth ward Attention
being called to the fact that that motion
would involve the purchase of site,
81, 900 was added for that purpose, max
ing the amount 1900. The substitute
was defeated by vote CT 81 to IS. The
amended motion providing for additions
to both the Washington and Bryant, was
defeated by vote of 50 to So; and the
original motion for $1,000 addition to
the Washington was carried by vote of
40 to 50.
Owing to the lateness OF the hour, an
effort was made to adjourn. A motion
to that effect was promptly voted down
and the meeting proceeded to elect two
trustees in the places of Messrs. Shat
tuck and Fitzpatrick whose terms expired.
G. w. Parker arose and stated there
was no need or desire to conceal the fact
that the electors of the fifth ward were
present for purpose and that they
wanted something" That 'some-
thing" was representation on the board.

who was elected by II votes to 50 cast

CROWDED CONDITION.
During the past year the average at
tendance per teacher below high school
has been so. This means that several
teachers have had their enrolment
among the sixties. This is condition
that should not be permitted to longer
exist.
Thirty-two teachers are now en-
ployed below the high school. This
number should be increased to forty at
once. This would give an average at
tendance of 45 based on actual atten-
dance on Nov. 2, last. If the compul.
sorry attendance law was enforced it
would raise this number to at least 4S,
with 80 more in attendance at an I'M
graded school.
The building of two rooms will help,
but its effect will be perceived only in a
limited area of the district.
Union chapel was rented this year,
and its use made difference in but two
school rooms in the city.
The increase of seating capacity has
not kept pace with the growth of popu-
lation. This crowded condition has
made the question of transfers a serious
one for the board and superintendent.
Parties have made it personal matter
and placed the blame upon officials
rather than upon existing lack of school
room. These conditions are going to
grow worse rather than better, until
adequate room is provided
Another and more serious phase
grows out of this state of affairs. With
from 30 to 60 pupils in room, a teach
er can render no individual help. She
must teach them as mass and not as
individuals. This results in the sur
can not get his needed help in common
with others must fail to keep up with
his grade, becomes discouraged, and
prematurely gives up school work.
From my own observation, the direct
effect has been as follows:
l. Capable pupils have been retard-
ed in their work, and slow pupils have
been too much crowded in order that
they might be taught in these large
classes together.
2. More failures annually occur than
would otherwise be necessary
3. Because individual help can not
be given, parents blame the teachers and
prematurely take their children from
school.

Waukegan Company Turns the Goodrich
transportation Company Down.

Waukegan Company Turns the Goodrich
transportation Company Down.
One of the officials of the Goodrich
transportation company made short
stop in Kenosha today and attempted
to make some arrangements for con-
ference with the mayor and harbor
committee, to see what arrangements
could be made as to securing the use OF
the docks when the line desires to
enter this port in the spring. From all
indications however it appears that
there will be little need for the COM
pany to secure dock room at this point
as they have been turned down by the
Council at Waukegan and should they
make similar demands to the Council
here they would probably receive a
similar answer.
In speaking of the demands of the
company at Waukegan the Sun says:
What they desired was to lease a
dock space of $50 feet and the ware
house. Two hundred and fifty feet OF
the dock would leave a very little left,
taking Mead's coal sheds into consider
alton. With this $50 feet they desired
an exclusive right, for which they can
mot be blamed in as much as they mean
business.
They would not want to exclude
eastern boats, or anything except an
opposition line between Chicago and
Milwaukee. After meeting with the
city officials they found as above stated
that such plan could not be arranged.
With their plan they would be COM
PEELED to keep man at the dock all
the time, which would be an expense
of $50 or $50 a month. Looking at
that point with the volume of business
they anticipate here the company began
to think they might profit, perhaps, by
some other arrangement.
The proposition of the city was to
charge l5 per cent of the freight for
dockage, the city to keep the dock in
shape, attend to the warehouse, make
all collections, and deduct the per cent
ages. After a discussion of this plan
the Goodrich men finally consented
and decided to put on a winter boat in
order to get line on trade before the
spring season opens. When they took
their departure the understanding was
that the Goodrich company would put
on a winter boat to run two or three
days a week just as soon as arrange
ments could be made, and that they
begin running in here in the spring
three or four boats day on the per
centage plan.
