PEOPLE WE KNOW.
They are Owosso People and What They
Say is of Local Interest


When an accident like the following &C.
ours right here at home 1t Is bound to carry
weight with our readers. When so many
strange occurrences 20 the rounds of the
press, are published as facts; when the in
telligent reader knows they cannot be true,
there Is no wonder that people become
skeptical. On one subject skeptcism Is
gradually disappearing. This is due to the
actual personal experience of our citizens
and their public utterances regarding them.
The doubter must doubt no more In the act
of such as this. The public statement of
reputable citizen living right here at home,
one whom you can see every day. leaves
no ground for the skeptic to stand on.

Negro Resists an Officer.

Stevens visited the Jail about $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning. and was
talking through the window gratings
to several negro prisoners confined for
petty offenses when Deputy Sheriff
Cheney approached and told Stevens
he was under arrest, producing a war;
rant that had been standing against
Stevens for some time. The negro i'm
nediately drew a revolver and showed
fight. Not daunted the deputy drew his
weapon and advanced to take Stevens,
who Immediately fired. The bullet went
wild and the sheriff opened UP with his
own weapon, but without effect. Stevens
took to his heels and succeeded in gain
ing Penwell's general store in Locust
street, the principal thoroughfare. two
blocks distant. and took his stand in
the entrance. He hesitated there an
instant and then stepped to the pave
ment, leveled his revolver down the
street toward his approaching pursuer
and fired.

It should be every ones care. Life is a

1t is neglect of the stomach.
Incessant dull headache aggravated by

heartburn, acid quotations, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth, nervousness, mental

THE poor WHITES"
Speeches at Convention on Education il
the South

Capon Springs, w. ", June 23.-The
conference on Christian Education in the
South, now in session here, is considered
one of the most important ever held
in this section of the country. Today's
addresses were brilliant.
DR.. j. l.. Nj. Curry, of Washington,
spoke in the interests of the poor whites
of the South. Northern generosity, he
said, was principally directed towards
aiding the Indians and blacks. While
he would not take cent away from
these, he asked that the equally needy
whites should also be remembered. Re
ferring to the famous speech made here
by Daniel Webster at the opening of
the present Capon Springs Hotel, over
fifty years ago, he drew attention to
the large number of great men to which
the South has given birth, and to the
fact that up to the outbreak of the
Civil War, with "A comparatively scanty
population. it possessed many more
schools than the North.
DR.. w. Il. Shaw, editor Of the Review
of Reviews, generously offered to plIo-
fish DIR. Curry's speech for general dis
tribution in amy form the conference
might prefer. The offer was accepted
