The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-02-03
Tribute to DIR. Perkins.

The friends of DIR. JsbeZ Perkins, OF
rather part of them, perpetrated surprise
of the most agreeable nature on him Tues
day. Some of their number succeeded Ia
enticlng him into the agricultural lmple-
ment store of Convis & CarmOdy where the
good old doctor found a number of other
friends awaiting him. The doctor was
then introduced to a new carriage decked
out with new robe, whip, and blanket,
Mr.. G. X. Lyon making neat presentation
speech. There was no speech made In
reply, however, for the Doctor was toe
much moved to say anything, though the
way 10 which the tears weled into his
eyes was a more eloquent response than
any words could have been.
The carriage was made especially for the
doctor, who for long time has been practi-
cally unable to climb into an ordinary bug
gy. The body of the new carriage Is hung
quite low and Is made as comfortable other
wise as the manufacturers ingenuity could
devise. The gift Is most appropriate one
and one In which the whole city should ex-
perience feeling of pleasure. The half of
the good deeds of DR.. Perkins will never be
told, and 1t Is gratifying indeed to see him
remembered In this way while he is still
able to appreciate the kindness.

Healthful Food.

1t Is safe practice to select brand of
baking powder of established ieputa-
tion and then make sure that it exclusively
is used In the kitchen. The economy in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown
by the Government report, is worthy Of
consideration, but this Is of minor import
ance compared with the greater purity and
wholesomeness of the food when the Royal
is employed. Health officers and physi.
clans who have used 1t In their families for
quarter of century are Its most enthu-
siastic advocates and recommend It as q
safeguard against the alum danger.

In Memoriam-George Thomas.


On the 25th of March, 1912, George
Thomas was born In the city of London,
England. His parents were both of time
honOred lineage, dating back to William the
q refined, courteous, Christian gentleman,
ever friend OF the poor and needy. He
was prominently identified with the church
as vestryman and senior warden for more
than sixty years, being a member of Old
st. Paul's London, Eng. one of the first
promoters of st. Paups Cathedral, London,
Canada; also of Christ church, Chatham,
st. Pauls and ST. Johns, Detr0it and for
the past thirty years in Christ church,
Owosso. After long, active, useful life
he entered into rest at his home, 40S w.
| Williams street, Jan. 25th, 1899, ia the
! calm confidence of an unwaverlng faith, as
he himself said only few days before his
departure, II have no fear of death, 1t is
merely the passing from one room to
another, for l shall 20 directly to my
Saviour and be with Him forever"
Truly, "The memory of the just Is
blessed" And, IL heard voice from
Heaven, saying unto me, Write, from
henceforth blessed are the dead who die In
the Lord; even so saith the Spirit; for they
rest from their labors,"
Saturday morning, Jan. 2Sth, at the home,
the sublime burial service was read by Rev.
r. D. Cooper, (who had been most kind
and devoted In his spiritual ministrations)
assisted by Rev. K. W. Hunt, of Lansing,
Mich, and members of Christ church choir;
the pail bearers being members of the
vestry. The floral emblems from vestry,
Guild, Corunna Commandry, and others
were beautiful indeed.
Mr.. Thomas family were twelve children,
eight sons and four daughters; four sons
and one granddaughter having preceded
him to the eternal shore; leaves his wife,
four sons, four daughters, twenty-one grand
children, and six great grand children, these
with sons and daughters-in-law, grand
sons and daughters-in- making a family
circle of 46 persons. The children are:
Francis A., and Mrs. A. l.. Hill, of De-
tOit; Henry T., of East Tawas; Arthur s.,
of Durand; Mrs. Isaac ). Cooper and Mrs.
John Reid, of Cheboygan; Alfred L. and
Miss Eliza a., of Owosso.
There are many persons In the city who
will long remember the regularity with
which the sturdy old gentleman used to
be seen on his way to the church of his
faith, and who can tell the good that this
example alone has wrought. Again In the
week day life of business interests and
cares he was one of the pleasantest and
most generous men with whom to do busi-
ness, always displaying the same jovial
spirit to those with whom he came In con-
tact, and today one yet hears of the gener-
Gus way In which he carried on his business
at the Junction house when he was actively
engaged there. In the business part of the
city he was among the earliest to venture
large amount of money In modern city-like
business places, and thereby show his faith
In the future of the city, at the same time
helping to make IL what he believed IL
would become His strong character has
been one whose influence has been constant
ly for the good, and in church and business
circles alike his work will be missed on
every hand

For great efforts are being made in this
vicinity to sell the alum baking powders, which
every physician will inform you poisonous
to the human system.
The official Government tests show
Royal Baking Powder to be an abso-
lutely pure and healthful grape cream
of tartar baking powder, and care
should be taken to prevent the substi-
tuition of any other brand in its place.
The Royal powder costs only fair price per
pound, and is cheaper and better at its price than
any similar article in the world

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
A California Exhibit at Paris Elk.
position Discussed.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-At the
regular meeting of the State Board of
Trade to-day the question of extending
courtesies to the American Agricultural
Association, which will meet here in
July, was referred to the general man
ager for action.
w. H. Mills spoke at length on the
difficulties in the way of making prop
er representation at the Paris EXPOSE
ton. CALIFORNIA; exhibits. he said. must
go in with those from other States in
the space allotted to the United States.
The entire space allotted for the min
eral exhibit would hardly, hold the dis
play in the State Mining Bureau. So it
would be with California fruits, cereals,
wines and other products. Visitors
would merely see in them the products
from the United States.
Mr.. Mills raised the question as to the
constitutionality of the appropriation
made by the Legislature for an exhibit.
and said it would have to be extended.
He doubted the feasibility of hiring out
Of the appropriation, owing to the great
cost. A large amount of space had been
sold to spectators. He believed in
making an exhibit at the Pan-American
Exposition to be held in Buffalo.
1t was decided to notify the Commits
sionersI to Paris that they would receive
the hearty cooperation of the board. 1t
was also decided to notify the Commits
sioners that if they establish a bureau
of information the board viii assist
them.

WARDNER idaho, May 8. The
proclamation given to the press last
night was formally issued to-day, with
some notifications by Governor Steun-
enberg's representative, State Auditor
Sinclair, with the approval of General
Merriam
This is the most radical blow yet
aimed at labor organizations in this
region, and citizens are hopeful that
it will prove a remedy. 1t is directed
to the mine owners in this city. and
denies their right to employ men be-
longing to certain organizations during
the continuance of martial law.
All miners applying for work will
be required to get a. permit from the
State denying their participation in
the recent riots and renouncing men,
bership to any society which has APP
proved the riots. Mine owners refus-
ing to comply with those conditions
will be required to close their mines.
The State is building a pen $50 by
120 feet, with four rows of hunks
around it.

LAND SUIT.
Action to Determine Title to a
Large Tract at Monterey.

SALINAS, May 9.-The case of the
city of Monterey VS.. David Jacks and
others to determine title to some 35,-
eco acres of land known as the Pueblo
lands of the city of Monterey, was
tried before Judge Dorm to-day.
Jacks claims this land by virtue of
deed dated February, 1859, in which
]. Burke Phillips, j. D. Callaghan and
Salvador Oslo. as Trustees of Monterey
City, for a consideration of LOOP 30,
sold the lands to D. R. Ashley and Da-
vid Jacks. The sale was made under
authority of a statute of the State
Legislature to pay the city's indebted
ness to Ashley for legal services Ash
ley in 1868 sold his interests to Jacks
On the other side, the city of Mon
terey claims that the act of the trus-
tees in making the sale was illegal, in
that it was a recognized doctrine of
law that no sale of pueblo lands could
be made in one lump.
The case was holly contested and
much documentary evidence offered,
after which it was submitted to Judge
Dorm for decision.
AS there are numerous ranchers and
town settlements on those disputed
lands, a disturbance of the title would
affect large number of people.

SCHOONER LOYAL LOST.
ALL HOPES FOR HER SAFETY
GIVEN UP.
She Sailed From Seattle q Year
Ago for Kotzebue With Eight
cen Persons Aboard.

SEATTLE, May 9-It now, seems
probable that the schooner Loyal, which
sailed from Seattle one year ago for
Kotzebue. Alaska, with eighteen per-
sons on board, is lost She was due to
return last fall but her non-appear-
ance caused no particular anxiety, as it
was thought the party might have de-
cided to winter in the north. This con-
ISOLATION has been taken away by the
receipt of a letter from ST. Michael,
dated September 10, 1885, in which it
was stated the schooner would sail for
Seattle in two or three days The let
ter has just been received by Mrs Isaac
Taylor of this city, whose husband was
aboard the schooner.
CAPTAIN c. D. Jones of the scrhoon er
Moonlight, who sailed from St. Michael
September 9th, Gays the LOYAL sailed
before him. He stopped at Dutch Har-
Dor two weeks, but heard nothing of
the Loyal He reports the schooner to
have been in a bad condition, and there
Dis no question in his mind that she
foundered in one of the storms that pre-
vail in the Behring Sea the latter part
of September.
Those who sailed from here on the
Loyal were: J. F. Addelman, leader of
the expedition. He has a wife and five
children living in this city. 80. D. But
terfield, formerly Chief of Police of Sc
attic; Scandinavian named Captain
johnson, who was chief navigator; Ha-
gen E. Weickes, assistant navigator; -
Nelson, Seattle; Donohue, Seattle;
Isaac Taylor, Seattle; Blackwell, Sc
attic.
There were four others whose names
are unknown. One is said to have been
Nebraska man. All are believed to
have persisted except one man The
exception was named Stevens, and in
connection with him an interesting
story is told. He was prisoner in the
State Penitentiary at Walla Walla.
where Addelman and Butterfield were
turnkeys. He claimed to know of a
spot in Alaska where gold could be
found. On this representa- ton he sue
ceeded in getting friends to secure his
pardon, and organized the expedition.
1t developed from letters received after
the expedition left here that Stevens
had misrepresented things Owing to
the trouble he caused he was put
ashore on an island this side of Kotze-
bue with a supply of provisions and his
personal effects.
