Sudden Death of Mrs. Lewis.

Mr.. and Mrs Fred Carpenter received
telephone message from Byron. Monday
morning, announcing that Mrs. Carpenters

Olson Lewis, was dying, and Immediately
they took the morning train for Byror,
where they arrived about an hour befo' @
Mrs. Lewis death. Mrs. Lewis had not
lost consciousness and recognized her chill

first change for the worst may be imagined,
however, when 1t is recalled that Mr.. and
Mrs. Carpenter were In Byron Thursday and
Mrs. Carpenter stayed with her mother un-

emily In good health. Mrs. Lewis was,
however, fifty. seven years of age and for

The immediate cause of her death is sup.
posed to have been severe attack of acute
indigestion. She leaves besides her hus.

who has been at home with her mother for
some time, and Mrs. Fred Carpenter, of

Give Me q Cent!

And now comes that lazy, shiftless,
cowardy gang of cut-throats called the Gu
ban insurgents and they want money.
First they called continuously for something
to e.e-e. eat, next they wanted clothing and
now being fed and clothed they want mon
ey. They should be commended to the yell
low journalists and congressman who danced
around President Mckinley urging immedi.
ate Intervention. There were but a hand
full then, but since they have got some one
to feed them their ranks have swelled into
thousands, and they threaten direful results
unless their demand for money is granted.
We have fallen into strange and singular
times. What with starvation In Alaska,
the $40, 900, 900 we are to pay Spain for
what we don't want, the building Of half a
hundred war vessels, less or more, and sup
porting an army In Cuba and Porto Rico,
our treasury-since the gold reserve Is quot
ed today at only $50, 600, ,000.-will soon be
in a condition to borrow.
1t may be all right, and we as a nation
NAV be bowling along the highway of ma
tional prosperity, but to plebian dullard II
seem, as tho we had bitten of more than we
can conveniently swallow, and the final re-
suit may be something posterity will not
thank us for.

A new telephone system has just been
fitted up in the shops with seven different
stations, an improvement that has become
a necessity with the spreading of the build.
ings over so much larger an area than for
merly.
There is strong probability that an ad-
ditional building will have to be erected in
the early future little south and west of

where there is left room enough to put up
any kind of a building.
The first car load of finished yellow pine

The Michigan Central finished putting in
new side track Monday, leading to the
new ware house at the north end of the
factory. 1t provides for places where two
more cars can be loaded or unloaded direct
ty into the factory at the same time. Some
idea of the extent to which the factory has
grown may be gained from the statement
that twenty.One freight cars could be placed
on the different tracks about the factory, so
that all of them could be loaded or unload
ed directly from or into the factory at the
same time-cars enough to make a good
sized train.
At the same time that the factory has
been growing in size the amount of material
used has increased in corresponding ratio,
and now as for the last few seasons, such
articles as nails, oils, and wire screen have
not only been purchased In car load lots but
in some instances in as high as five car load
lots.
