A New Start In Dakota.

The Ann Arbor station in this city
was the center of interest for no small
number of sight seekers Tuesday fore
noon but it was of a good deal more
interest to some sixty or seventy
people who were getting the last of their
possessions in readiness for the starting
of the train which should take them to
Dakota where they intend to begin life
anew. The melting snow made every
spot in the Ann Arbor yards, except the
very rails of the road itself, one con-
tinued mud puddle but sight seers, emil
grants, and their friends paid no atten-
ton to such matters.
On the side tracks there were numer-
GUS box cars which were file with the
goods of the excursionists, while there
were still considerable number of the
horses and cows belonging to them
awaiting an opportunity to be loaded.
Everywhere the men were busily hurry
ing around loading in the last of their
possessions and the confusion reminded
one strangely of the events of nearly
two years ago when railroads had more
than they could do at times moving
troops and equipment At the passen-
ger station the trucks were packed high
with trunks and grips while the emf

The United States sold to other countries
twice as much last year as she bought.
With these countries now asking for coal
in addition to the thousands of other articles
they are buying, with several of the richest
nations borrowing money from our citizens,

prehensiOn of even the best financiers.

and adds one more dollar to the amount Of
gold of this nation. Every cent of interest,
too, will be paid us in the same way, as
well as the principal when 1t becomes due.
Thirty million dollars from the Klondike
was added last year to the little stock of
gold that does duty in any spot on earth TO
buy both necessities and luxuries. The
product of gold will lie larger this year
than ever, and this greater product, tOgeth-
er with the enormous balance paid US in
gold for goods, and as interest, we will in
vest in still more manufacturing establish
ments to make goods to send abroad. Thus
we will create a new endless chain by
bringing in a still larger amount of gold,
increasing the amount of our money of

strating that with the continuation of the
republican party i'm control there Is almost
no possible limits to the expansion of in
dustry in this country. Every voter in

Commence Monday to take part in II, and
don't forget it for moment until after the
election next November.

The Sunday Detroit Free Press said edi-
toriaIly: STANLEY w. Turner adyertises a
wakaway for Senator Mcmillan. We are
disposed to think that the event will vipdi-
cate the prophecy, but the man who
vouches for whole state should know all
about his subject. He has the advantage
however, of speaking in behalf of one OF the
most highly respected and influential states
men in Washington. IL he represented the
average we woult have one of the strongest
and best-balanced government, In all his

Republicans who dropped out of the party
In '96 to support the cause of silver and who
have since been voting the democratic
reople's-union silver ticket" are asked this
year to vote the democrat" ticket in this
CITY, the party managers having dr. pped
the balance of the name. A number of
''silver republicans" have expressed them
selves in somewhat emphatic language in
this attempt to lead them into the democrat
party and do not intend to be led thusly.

A republican mayor means good police
force, an active street commissioner, COM
petent board of health, a good member of
the board of public works and a working in
harmony with the council which contains
five hoId-over republican alderman and will
probably have five new republicans, a
republican clerk and treasurer.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-03-30

Owosso city is republican in every ward.
In every ward good citizens have been
and respected, who have the clty's interest
at heart. The TINES believes that every
republican nominee should be elected-not
because the democrats have not put up good
citizens for many places, but that no repub-
lican has reason for cutting anyone off his
ticket. All state and national officers are
republicans, all bat two county officers are
the same. Favors can be asked and more
accomplished when all are in accord. Do
not embarrass your ward by having an Off
cial who is not in touch with the majority.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-03-30

Owosso should have Ave republican
supervisors. Some Of the best men 10 the
city have been nominated by the party for
these places and where formerly more or
less splitting was done on account or assess
ments this can no longer be reason for
voting for an, Que on the other ticket. The
supervisors now have but two duties, to
look after the poor OF the ward and save the
county unnecessary expense, and to repre-
sent Owosso and IT, most varied interests on
the board OF supervisors. Under the new
assessment regulations there will needs be
some good men who know the needs and the
rights Of this city. The republican nomi-
nees are men who can and will work TO-
Rether for the best interests OF Shiawsssee
county and Owosso city.

will have II republicans vote for their nomi-
nees. All OF them are entitled to the full

Another year OF faithful service will un-
doubleday be given to T. M. Wiley In his
position as city treasurer. He has been
always at his post and pleasant and Oblig-
ing to all citizens. always on time with
reports. A faithful Official should certainly
be rewarded with the votes Of hrs own
party.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-03-30

Owosso has had republican clerks for
many years and always satisfactory ones.
We will have one OF the tried clerks again
this year. His peculiar fitness for the posi-
tion secured for the republican nominee
another nomination. He Is faithful party
worker and hustler and has clean offfsiA
record to back him. 4

Lawyer Dill got million dollars for set
Ting up the law suit between Carnegie and
Frick, and he did 1t so easily and SO simply
that It seems as tho aoy OF Us could have
done It. But he did 1t only after having
been given access to the books of the COM
pany for few hours. In those few hours
he found that the orders were so large that
the company needed not only the money Of
the company but the private money of Car
negie and Frick and all In association with
them to do the work required by their con-
tracts, and he found that the demands for
that class of work were 80 large thatit was
impossible to get the material with which
10 manufacture the product II every posi-
BILE, available resource was used. Such de-
mand was never before known In the world
for goods of every description, and that de-
mand is increasing so fast that the ma
chinery to keep up with the demand can
no, be obtained The Dingley tariff, the
gold standard, the assurance of continu-
ance of a republican United States senate

put block in the way of its continuance
for an indefinite period by voting an anti
expansion, anti-prosperity, anti-employ-
ment, free trade ticket

1t is suggested that some OF the republl-
can voters in the township should be very
careful to look at the party name at the
head of the ticket which they vote as in
some cases the democrats have seemed
obliged to use the names of so many republl-
cans to fill out their ticket that 1t might
seem difficult to tell which was the republ-
can list of nominees and which the demo-
cratic without reading the list through care
fully and noting the heading with equal care
OF course mistake in such case would
not mean the loss of the complete vote to the
republicans, but there seems to be no good
reason for increasing the votes OF a few
democratic candidates by such an error.
The straits to which the city democrats
feel reduced may be partially realized from
their effort to bolster up the chances for
their candidate for mayor by a published
statement from Mr.. VIM, Barresford who
says over his own signature 10 the city
papers that he is not candidate for any
appointment on the police force, nor would
he accept II one were rendered him. Now
this alone should be of good deal of help
to Mr.. Kerwin, but William adds further
that he desires ito be considered out of the
police deal entirely" Just how that helps
Mr.. Kerwin Is not so clear. II Billie
wishes to keep out Of any police deal all he
has got to do Is TO behave himself just like
any other citizen and 1t Is quite unlikely
that any police whom Mayor Osburn may
appoint will mix up with him 10 any way.

modesty would suggest that be simply keep
still about II.

In spite of the pressure of caucuses,
conventions, and next Mondays cleo
ton, the republican voters of the county
will doubtless find time to make note of
another announcement for one of the
county offices-the candidacy of Van
Ranst Pond for the republican nomina-
ton for the Office of pro'cuting attbr-
ney. Mr. Pond is one of the most popu-
lar, as we'll as level headed and
generally successful, of Shiawassee's
young attorneys. If nominated by the
republicans he would be source of
strength to the ticket and would be sure
of election As prosecuting attorney
he could be depended on to use the
same good judgment, which he now
displays in his professional work, to the
advantage of the county and the saving
of the taxpayers money by keeping
down the expense of the criminal courts
to the figures where they belong. His
friends will doubtless have more to say
of his claims and qualifications later on.

This year it becomes Shiawassee
county's turn again to furnish one of
the delegates who shall represent the
Eighth congressional district of Michi-
gan in the republican national conven-
ton. So far as heard from, however,
there is but one republican in the county
who has been mentioned for that honor
at his party's hands and from the
pr comment position occupied by him
and the years of loyal support given by
him to his party in this county, it
would seem that there was no need of a.
further nomination. He is a man whom
every republican in the county should
take pleasure in endorsing for this
honor, while to the voters of his imme-
date vicinity there could be no more
pleasing choice made and his selection
would be regarded not only as just
and deserved compliment to him. but
also to them collectively and individu-
ally. The name suggested is none other
than that of Mr.. Harvey. y. Nc
Laughlin, of Vernon.

Quicksilver FIaskx.

The bottles or TASKS used for trans.
porting quicksilver are generally
made of boiler iron and are cylindrical
in shape, about IL inches in height
and four inches in diameter, with a
screw plug inserted in one end. The
capacity of flask is 1914 pounds and
it's weight about ID pounds. Such
TASKS are used by all producers Of
quicksilver, and pass through the
hands of various dealers till they
reach the consumer. The total mum.
Der used in this country cannot be
very large, as the total product last
year of quicksilver in the United
States was but 2s,S7e TASKS, and the
same flask can be used again an6
again till it gets too rusty inside. A
flask can easily last rs years. We un-
derstand most of those now in use are
made abroad, but an American firm
,also has made them. Most of the sec.
ond-hand TASKS can be bought for 25
or 30 cents apiece.

New Form of Phonogranh.

Among the exhibits at the Paris
exposition was a photograph, invent
ed by Valdemar Poulsen, Danish en-
gineer, which uses a wire-wound in
stead of wax-covered cylinder. The
wire is of steel, and over it, in place
OF the usual stylus, passes a small
electromagnetic connected with a tel
ephone transmitter and battery. The
sound waves cause variation in the
intensity of the electromagnetic, and
the magnet, acting upon the wire
passing beneath it, leaves a perma-
nent impression upon the latter.
Upon reversing the action the wire
reacts on the magnet and correspond.
ing sounds are transmitted by the tel.
ephone. In order to obliterate the
magnetic trace on the cylinder it is
only necessary to revolve it under the
magnet while this is subjected to a
continuous current.

FINEST NEW YORK PULPIT.
BeautifuI Work Lately Completed
@ for All Angels Episcopal
~ Church. -.

All Angels Episcopal church, West
End avenue and Eighty-first street,
has, just acquired what is described
as the finest pulpit in America. It
is the work of Karl Bitter, and was
given to the church by Mrs. Sarah
Cornell in memory of her husband
and two sons. The style of the pull
pit is Italian renaissance. changed
slightly to conform with the interior
of the church. says the New York
Herald.
Standing against a column, the pill
lar has for it's foundation a repre-
sentation of Moses with the tablets
of law, and corbels presenting the
head of the prophets, intended to
symbolic that the Gospel preached
from the pulpit is based upon the law
and the prophets.
A choir rail. which leads up to the
pulpit rail and surrounds the pulpit
itself, is decorated with a procession
of angels. Above the pulpit is a can
opy of oak, surmounted by an angelic
figure holding a trumpet, and forming
an apotheosis of what is begun below
in the procession.
There has also just been used for
the first time in the same church an
altar and reredos. erected by mem
bers of the Hoffman family in men,
DRY of the most liberal patron of All
Angels church. the late Rev. DR..
Charles F. Hoffman. The altar is sur
mounted by canopy of brass, per-
haps the only one of the kind in this
country, although such are common
in northern Italy. The new rectory
of the parish, costing $4,000, is al
most completed.
