the Peary relief expedition in 1882. and
was in command of the Peary aux

MIR. Bryant has no doubt of the safety
OF the last Peary expedition. which
went out on the Windward under
Lieutenant Peary in July last, and
that all on board are we'll. He thinks
that the Windward will not return to
the States with the Peary party until

The total circulation of bank notes In the
country showed gam on the SOth of June
of sos, 291 ,023 over the amount in circula-
ton at the close of the previous fiscal year,
June 80, 1899. Comparatively few people

statement conveys, but an inkling of its i'm
portance can be got from moments consid-

From Laborer to Governor.

Aaron T. Bliss, the republican candidate
for governor, has we'll earned all the sue
cess in life that has come to him through
his lifetime Of patient, persistent endeavor.
Mr.. Bliss was born on farm in New York
and spent the early days of his bOyhood In
the cornfelds and among the hop vines of
his rural home. He was soldier until the
close of the war, having spent several
months In southern prison, and came to
Michigan In 1895. Mr.. Bliss began his
labor in the state as an ordinary woodsmaD,
working hard as any of his red-shirted COM
rades during the day, and sleeping as
soundly as any by night In the rude Sleep
ing shanty. He was married while yet q
common laborer, his total fortune on his
wedding day being his savings of $3.50.
Mrs. Bliss went with her husband to the
woods, assisted him by keeping q boarding
house and has been his faithful companion
In all the struggles and successes Of his
life. This is such recital as is connected
with the history of many American homes
the evolution from the cabin to handsome
residences, from boyhood poverty to pros
porous manhood. There need be no fear
that a man who has gained proud place In
life through such toll and effort will prove
false to any trust or will lightly Shold any
responsibilities that may come to him.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-07-20

The TIMES does not wish to run other
peoples business affairs or to pretend to
know better than they how they should be
run, but with two cases of financial em-
barrassment to first class groceries in this
city this week and in consideration of TO-
marks dropped by other business men, THE
TIMES is forced to wonder If the matter of
early closing is not being carried too far In
Owosso at present. Not every one can con-
veniently buy groceries before the stores,
closing as early as they do now, are shut up
for the night, and while 1t may be giving
away a snap enjoyed by the street car COM
pany and COrunna grocers, it may be sug-
gested that there has been a very nice
amount of evening trade enjoyed by both as
one result of the early closing of the gro
ceries. However, whether the residents of
Owosso 60 elsewhere or not to buy their
groceries, 1t Is certain that farmers are not
going to leave their work during the busy
season of harvest time, and the time when
corn and other crops would suffer keenly
Owosso during the day time for either
groceries, hardware, boots and shoes, or
clothing, and that they will either 90 where
they can get them In the evening or will
wait until times are such that they can be
better spared from their work during the day
than at present. Reports of the number of
teams on the streets of, and the amount OF
business done In, the various villages about
Owosso during the present summer of early
closing, show conclusively enough to satisfy
many people that If the farmer trade can
not be accommodated during the summer
months In Owosso it will 60 where 1t can
be accommodated even II 1t Is compelled to
content itself with a smaller assortment or
higher prices temporarily. One of the
most striking instances of way the matter Is
working that has come to the attention of
THE TIMES Is the case of a farmer living
within three miles of Owosso who drove to
a village some ten or twelve miles from
Owosso recently to get keg of nails, 60
ing there because he could do go in the
evening without interrupting his work, but
could not get them at Owosso without &C.
ing during working hours. The TIMES
does not think that the need for keeping
open evenings extends to every line neces-
sarily or that 1t need be kept up during
more than the harvest months, bu: II does
believe that with the losses which the city
has experienced in the last few years In the
burning Of the Estey carriage factory and
the Woodland furniture factory, and the re-
moval OF two railway divisions and now the
Vincent valve factory, there is need of
avoiding driving away single dollars
worth Of trade which would ordinarily come
here.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-07-20

A good deal has been said about the
great balance of trade in favor of America
in the past years commerce with the rest of
the world, and yet before there could be
dollar to her credit America had to pay
$500, 100000 to foreign ship owners for
ocean freights. A vote for the republican
ticket this fall will be vote to add this
great amount to the balance of trade which
was in our favor last year. A vote fer the
democrat ticket will mean vote to leave
that $500, 100000 in the hands of the for
eigners as we'll as to return the rest of the
balance to them and to make us indebted to
the rest of the world instead of keeping
them indebted to us.

From present appearances 1t would look
as tho Owosso's candidate for the Office of
county clerk would be the successful con-
testant althO the only other con testant whose
candidacy has been actively pushed, Mr.
John Y. Martin, of Caledonia, has been
making very strong canvass for the place
and it Is claimed has large amount of
strength among the farmers of the county,
being, as he IL, farmer himself and having
given good satisfaction to his farmer con-
sttuents whom he has represented on the
board of supervisors However that may
be, there are also without any doubt large
number of farmers turnout the county who
are also acquainted with the genial and
obliging Owosso alderman Who seeks the
nomination, and during the past months
this same candidate, Mr.. James w. Jordan,
has not let any more opportunities escape
him, than he could help, to add to his list
of friends and acquaintance turnout the
county. That he has been doing his can
didacy large amount of good Is apparent

Is one which requires no small amount of

The candidacy of Under Sheriff Stephen
A. Crane for the republican nomination for
the Office of sheriff continues to meet with
the best of encouragement, altho In nea rly
every instance the friends of each of the
three Ow0ssO candidates for this nomina-
ton are also friends of the other two. Mr..
Crane has served to the entire satisfaction
of other officials and private citizens alike,
for number of terms as under sheriff, next
to the sheriff himself the chief executive
officer Of the county, and is perfectly fam
iliar with all details of the work demanded
of the sheriff. He has always In fact at
tended to the duties of the Office in way
which warrants his friends in making the
claim that with him in the Office of sheriff
the duties of that important Office would be
attended to as we'll or better than they ever
have been before. Mr.. Crane has wide
acquaintance throughout the country, and
while in point of avoirdupois he is little
man, Yet those who know him best are far
from beng of the opinion that he would
make the Office any the less respected
among the tougher elements of the county
because of this. One other reason why the
candidacy of Mr.. Crane seems especially
propitious is the fact that with the single ex-
cepti0n of coroner, there Is not another
Grand Army man mentioned for any of the
county offices for which nominations are to
be made by the county convention Au-
gust Z, and altho this fact is not expected to
bring Mr.. Crane the support of every men,

Camburn is one of Owosso's own daugh-
tiers and has lived here all her life,
gaining more and more friends every
year by her uniformly pleasant ways
and the bright, CHEEKY greeting which
she had for all of her friends and &C.
quaintances. Mr.. Camburn has been
with Parkill & Son, druggists, for the
past SIX years and has impaired an ad.
ditional atmosphere of professional
ability and trustworthiness to that ever
reliable pharmacy by his presence there.
he has also other business associations,
being one of the directors of the Owosso
Savings Bank. In social circles he is
equally popular, being one of the best
workers in Masonic circles where he
