A NEW RAILROAD.
The Columbus. Marshall & North East
ern Road an Assured Fact.

For some time it has been rumored
here that Gratiot county was to have a
new railroad, which would probably
pass through Alma. This is now an
assured fact inasmuch as mortgage for
81 800 600 was filed with the register of
deeds last week for construction pur.
poses, and work will be begun soon.
This road will run from Marshall to
Sumner over a right Of way which was
purchased in January 1871 for thirty
years, and which has recently been ac-
quired by this new company by giving
the owners, Judge Ingersoll of Marshall
and II. f. Green of Olivet, stock
amounting to $50 900 in the new corpor-
alton. From Sumner the road will run
to Midland and Bay City, probably
making a direct line, which will take il
through Alma. Work was begun upon
the road at Marshall this week, con-
tractor Seymore having charge Of the

THE CIRCUS.
The Great Show has Come and Gone,


The much talked about and long
looked for circus has come and gone and
the small boy has had his eyes opened
wide at the wonderful things he has
seen, and his mind will be filed for
months to come with visions OF clowns,
wild animals and divers other things
intended to attract his attention, while
many an older person will have much to
think about in what he has seen. The
day dawned bright and fair and many
people assembled at the crossing on
Superior-st. to witness the arrival and
unloading Of the circus trains, the first
of which came in about 5 30. Almost
every passenger train that came into
town was loaded, and long before the big
parade came off, the streets were liter
ally alive with visitors. 1t was espe-
cially noticeable that the crowd was very
orderly and there was not the usual
amount of drunkenness that is present
on such an occasion. A number OF eat.
ing houses and stands were in operation
and all report good patronage.
The show itself was excellent and all
that was promised The performance
was of high order, the most noticeable
features being Captain Woodward's 8
school of trained Alaskan seals and sea
lions the famous Hanlon's in their
thrilling aerial act; Willie Schaar in an
exceedingly clever and dashing bicycle
act Paul Brackard in new and amaz-
ing contortion act; the Car-Damman
troupe in acrobatic feats; the bicycle
riding of the Jackson family and Will
liam German in a very neat horseback
riding act.
The clowns were especially interest
ing. There were great many of them
and what they did caused lots of merri-
ment. The costumes were particularly
handsome and the whole show had a
neat and tidy appearance, while all the
attendants were as neat and painstaking
as any show ever had.
1t was estimated that 6, 900 people at
tended the afternoon performance while
at night there were about 1000. The
number of tickets sold for all
features of the show amounted to about
$4,000.

FRIDAY, MAY 1s.

The most interesting feature of the
Second District convention was the bright
and witty speech of the Hon. John p.
Swssey of Canton, withdrawing his name
and moving the nomination of Mr..
Littleaeld by acclamation. The result of
the convention SO far as nomination and
resolutions were concerned was long ago
practically settled, SO there was no Ella
ton and no disappointment. Mr.. Little
field made good speech of acceptance, as
he always does, which was received with
much enthusiasm. The resolutions en-
dorsed the administration policy in
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
The policy in the hitter referred to is the
policy no doubt of putting down the in
surrection, for further than this no defi-
mite policy concerning these islands has
been formulated nor can be until Con-

1t looks as though the investigation now
being carried on by the Senate committee
in regard to food adulteration would do
more to discredit our provisions abroad
than that of the army court of inquiry.
Nobody at home or abroad will banker
after Hamburger steaks or other such
"delicacies' after reading the testimony
as to the manner in which the beef is pre-
pared for these steaks. There doesn't seem
to be any doubt blu t this beef is literally
embslmed. Milk is shown by the testi-
mony too, to be pretty generally doctored
with chemicals to keep it sweet Indeed,
according to the testimony of some of the
experts there are few food products which
are not adulterated to some extent,
though probably in the majority of cases
the articles used are harmless.
