The County Jail Raided.
An Organized Mob from Alma Compelled Sheriff
Mccullough and Family 70 Surrender.

| An Organized Mob from Alma Compelled Sheriff
Mccullough ana Family TO Surrender.
Along towards the latter part of last
week it was noticed that whispered con
ferences were taking place in some OF
the business places in town and sinister
looks were displayed on the faces OF
those that were on the inside of the
ring. Later it developed that a raid was
to be made on the county Jail. not for
the purpose Of liberating any of the
prisoners confined within its walls, how.
ever, hut with designs on the peace and
welfare of the sheriff and his family.
The time set for the carrying out of the
purposes Of the mob was on New Years
day, and accordingly the party, about
twenty in number, met at the union
depot and boarded the 4 30 afternoon
train on the Ann Arbor for Ithaca.
Both sexes were represented in the mob
and each of the male members carried
suspicious looking bundles that were
said to contain bombs, dynamite and
other dangerous explosives. TO the
questions asked by the bystanders at the
train all manners of answers were given
as to what the mob intended doing. IL
was suggested by some that inasmuch
as two of the party, Simon Messenger
and DR.. Purmort, each had game
chicken under his arm, it might be pos
sible that cock fight was to be pulled
off somewhere down the line. 1t was
learned, however, that the mob left the
train at Ithaca and proceeded to the Jail
where Sheriff Mccullough and his
family were obliged to surrender, where
upon the members of the mob ran riot
through the part of the building used as
q residence. Mrs. Mccullough was
forced, in the face of superior numbers,
to prepare refreshments for the party,
but she had anticipated their designs
and opening the doors of the dining
room the self invited guests were asked
to set down to a banquet far in excess Of
their imaginations. The refreshments
were served in courses and the table
was decorated with smilax and carna-
tions. After gorging themselves to
their fullest capacity they returned
home on the evening train, leaving as
mementoes of the occasion, quantities
of corn, cabbage, sugar beets and other
vegetables, along with the two game
chickens.

MORE RAILROAD NEWS.
The President of the Columbus. Mar.
shall & Northeastern Railroad In
Alma Tuesday.

II. K. Holton of Marshall, president
Of the Columbus, Marshall & North.
eastern Railroad, was in Alma Tuesday
and meeting of the business men was
held in the Office of A. w. Wright to
ascertain the sentiment in regard to the
amount of bonus that would be offered
the road to secure the route through
Alma. Mr. Holton stated that it was
the intention Of the company to COM
plete the line through to Bay City as
soon as possible and it was thought to
have the iron as far as this point during
the coming year. He also conceded
that he did not see how the road could
miss this point, or, in view Of the many
industries here, how the company could
afford to let it, if the present intended
route was adhered to. st. Johns and
st. Charles are working hard to have
the line changed to run to Bay City on
a route taking in those places and inter
vening points. The only advantages
that would be secured by this would be
those offered by the st. Charles coal
fields and we doubt if this would be
sufficient guarantee for such radical
change in the route.

COLLEGE OPENING.

The opening lecture of the term was
given by Rev. w. X. Spencer, d. d.
The subject of the address was Modern
Knighthood. He spoke of ancient
knighthood and its influence upon the
world. Knighthood was supreme; its
power was recognized above the power
of the ruling kings. The discovery of
gunpowder, the Crusades, the capture
Of Oonstantinople, the invention of print
ing. and Martin Luther caused the form
or knighthood to completely disappear.
Might had been enthroned; now
thought rules the world. Candidates
for the Ancient Order of Knighthood
were subject to long period of severe
physical training. College life is the
training for modern knighthood. He
said in substance that college men
should consider it their privilege and
their duty to be leaders in the communi-
ties in which they live. College men
are the recognized leaders in the world.
In college life the physical man should
receive much attention The college
curriculum should develop manhood.
The memory, the reasoning powers, and
a love and searching after truth are de.
veloped by the various subjects Of study.
The scholar in seeking after truth
thinks Gods thoughts over after him.
Three accomplishments Of the educated
man are to think, to read and profit by
the thoughts of the great men of all the
past and the present, and to speak his
knowledge.
knights who entered the order OF
Knighthood for riches or ease were un.
worthy. 30 the scholar is unworthy If be
is seeking only to crafty personal de.
sires. Those who aspiYe to leadership
should seek to be true. Education
should not be used for selfish advsn.
tages. Sufficient opportunities present
themselves to the modern knight; the
breach between capital and labor, the
corruption of politics, now left to pro-
fessionals, the terrible condition of me-
elected children all offer sufficient op
portunity to the college man to prove
himself true knight. Leadership il
demanded and the college men are
buckling on the armors

VISITORS DAYS.
The Sugar Factory Thronged with
People Both Days.

As was announced last week, Friday
and Saturday were designated as visit
ors' days at the plant of the Alma Sugar
90. and while an invitation was extend
ed to everyone to inspect the plant and
watch the process Of extracting sugar
from the beets, it was not thought that
such large number of people would
avail themselves Of the opportunity. S.
l.. Bennett was engaged to furnish light
refreshments and was on hand, with a
number of young ladies to assist, early
on Friday. He reported that on Friday
over four hundred lunches were served,
while on Saturday over eight hundred
were served. But this number does not
represent, by one. half, the total number
of visitors, as the larger share of the Wis.,
itors merely inspected the workings Of
the machinery and did not avail them
selves Of the free lunch. The morning
trains on both roads were crowded with
people from distance, the majority Of
hom were contractors for the factory
or intended to take out contracts for the
coming season. Several employees of
the company were kept busy nearly all
the time writing new contracts for 1900.
All the visitors seemed to be impressed
with magnitude of the plant and filed
with wonder that such an enterprise
had been built in our midst.

At least one woman who had the mis-
fortune to appear before Judge Tim
mony yesterday had the nerve to say
that she did a thing. And she was not
sorry for it, either. She is Mrs. Nc
Daniel. charged with assaulting and
battering Ellen Neill. Mrs. Mcdaniel
has a temper that ought to assure her
peace and quietude all her days. There
are not many men or women who care
to riIe her at all.
But a few days ago it so happened
that some of the Neill children were
I'D in her hay loft. She ordered them
down and they came, all exceSt one,
who was too little to do so unaided.
Then it appears that Mrs. Mcdaniel
commanded Mrs. Neill to go up and
get her offspring, but there was some
delay, and the irate occupant OF the
premises went up herself. and the way
in which the kid got back to terra
firma was the basis Of the case, Tor
Mrs. Nein made a remark of disap-

scribed a course of kindergarten train
ing as a good test for self-abnegation,
upon the thesis that girl who under
took that kind of work among children
would of necessity have no room for
selfshness where there were a dozen
needles to be threaded every few min
utes.
Mrs. Kimbau concluded her remarks
with the assertion that when the con-
Secration of teaching and parenthood
is brought about the old ideas of hered-
ity and attendant evils would become a
thing of the past
At the close of the address the presi-
dent called for a discussion on the
paper This brought Mrs. Lucy HOring
to her feet, who undertook to read some
notes that she had jotted down to the
effect that she wished to place herself
on record as in favor of a law which
would require that all girls about TO
marry should be compelled to first take
a course in kindergarten work before
they were allowed 20 enter the state
of matrimonY.
Miss May, who followed, spoke for
several minutes on the advantages Of
a course of that kind of work for all
young girls, whatever might be their
plans for the future.
Mrs. Shepard's Paper.
Mrs. E. Z. Shepard then was intro
ouced to the audience and proceeded to
speak upon the topic Of Honor Be
tween Men and Women" Before tax
ing up her subject, she deplOred the
fact that she could not be allotted
three days wherein to do the subject
justice. Then Mrs. Shepard plunged
into the subject of the sexes and by
illustrations from botany and flora and
for 1--Ar 4
were two sexes which was as il should
be. The patent fact, Mrs. Shepard
averred, should not be made a secret,
thing to be jealousy guarded from
the average son and daughter, but
that rather they should be instructed
in the established law.
After indulging in a dissertation up
on the ideas governing celibacy, the
speaker once more deplOred the Sc
cTecy that was manifest among so
many families in regard to the reIa-
ton Of the sexes. She maintained that
men and women could associate to-
gether and at the same time be per
feet ladies and gentlemen. To illus
trate her assertion, she proceeded to
reCite an incident wherein a countess
of years and discretion on the Euro
pean continent had never met a gen
tleman'' until she met an American in
a casual way on the train.
Mrs Shepard had considerable to say
on the subject of boys sowing their
wild oats during which remarks she
was frequently interrupted by demon
stTatiOns of approval.
At the close of her address the speak
er caused a sensation by stating that
a police officer in this city had told
her that if she only visited the wine
rooms in this city that she would see
100 girls there who were under the age
Of Is.
This assertion had the effect of
bringing Mrs. Lucy Hoying to her feet
with the query as to whether Mrs.
Shepard had investigated the truth of
this story. The lady, in answer, stated
that she had not done so, but at the
same time she had another distressing
casa in hand.
The meeting then adjourned until 2
o'clock.
