All hours of the hearts emotion are religious hours Every man in the hour of his heart s earnest conviction becomes a religious man. The heart of the people recog- nizes the divine power of God and we know and must know that the one great permanent enduring reality of this world is God.

THEY WANTED JEWELRY.
Burglars Bore Into Ricaby's store and
Carry OF Lot of Plunder.


When Will II. Ricaby opened up his
store Monday morning he discovered a
watch chain lying on the floor which
soon opened his eyes TO the fact that
burglars had made him visit. On
examination he found large square
hole cut out OF the casing under his
display window large enough for a
good sized man to crawl through.
They bad gone through the show case
taken the most valuable goods they
could get their hands on, which in
cluded a tray of gold chains, about 20
watches, whole lot of gold pens and
other jewelry, estimated by Mr.. .Ricabv
as being worth about $500. One tray
was found in the basement through
which the thieves made their escape.
The rear door Of the basement had
not been closed this summer as nothing
of value was stored there, which afford
ed an easy entrance.
The casing was bored out with an
inch bit and probably did not require
more than ten minutes work to do it.
1t is thought there were three or more
concerned in the job, who had probably
taken their bearings before as several
suspicious characters were noticed
hanging around town for day or two
and also Sunday night. Deputy Sher'
ifs Will Knott of this city, John Pierce
OF Ionia and Constable Dan Briggs
were set to work on the robbery and ii
is possible some clue may be obtained
to bring the criminals to justice
Nightwatchman Ed Riker was on his
beat but saw nor heard nothing un
usual. Mr.. Ricaby feels his loss keenly

Capt. o. b. Weed, assistant surgeon
Of the 32nd Michigan volunteers is at
home in Detroit on sick furlough and
gives an inside view Of camp life at
Fernandina, Fla, he says: $50 far as
food is concerned the boys are well
supplied. The rations are all right.
Barrels OF ice water are set about at
convenient points. The people of Fer
randina are treating the boys in n
very satisfactory manner. At Tampa
we We're surrounded by thieves. That
class of people seemed to constitute
the whole population of the region.
At Fernandina it is different. The
sick boys for their comfort need deli
cacies, jellies, beef extract, and those
foods that men get in northern hospi-
tails or when sick at home. There are
not enough hospital tents. There are
not enough cots. Such things are
needed there. and not shirts. What
the boys really want most is either to
be ordered to the front or be sent back
to Michigan"

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing Of Us a
bottle Of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, and was SO much relieved
on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs

6tLDlNc BOY RETURNS.
Was in Battle of Santiago Wounded Ia
Shoulder.

Lawrence Martin, son of Joseph +.
Martin, arrived home Monday night
on "A twenty day furlough. He left
here about four years ago and soon al
ter enlisted in Co. G., SixteentE u. 5.
Infantry. AT the call for troops TO go
TO Cuba the regulars were among the
first TO go and his company were in the
struggle before Santiago when he re-
ceived IA Spanish bullet in the right
shoulder which went clear through
coming out under the shoulder blade.
He was shot on the last days lighting,
just few minutes before the Span
iards showed the white flag. He said
that he had been in the thickest Of the
fight and was following the retreating
Spaniards over the hill when he was
hit by stray ball just as he got a good
look down into the city. He said that
his gun had been shot out of his hands
and that at the time he was wounded
he was using Mauser rifle that he
captured from "a Spaniard. He said
that many of the men were discarding
their guns and taking the Mauser rifles
from the enemy.
AS for the Cubans, Mr.. Martin cred
its them with the theft of his $50 out
fit that was left in their charge, to-
gether with the property OF other sol
diers, before the battle. He adds that
they stole his shirt while his wound
was being dressed. When he arrived
in Detroit at Ft. Wayne, he had only
a blue shirt, pair of pants, socks and
slippers, and few souvenirs including
a gun that diver gave him who
worked on the wrecked Maine. He is
recovering from the wound and will
join the regiment when his leave Of
absence expires.
