Entertained at the Grand Central.

Mr.. and Mrs. Clark ID. Smith, OF the
Grand Central, Corunna, entertained the
county ofiicers-eect, the defeated candi-
dates, and a number of other gentlemen
who contributed actively in the campaign
TO the election or defeat of the same candi
dates, Friday evening at six o'clock dinner
to which the wives of the gentlemen were
invited as well. To say that the evening
was a pleasant one would be putting the
matter In a very mild light. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith proved themselves once more what
every one present knew either from ex
perlence or reputation that they were, the
most royal and hospitable of entertainers,
and if there had been any surmises that
such company would not be pleasant
one to have assembled so soon after sharp
campaign, they we're proved to be entirely
out of place. so pleasantly were all enter
tanned that it would seem that all were
members of the same party and that none of
them had been other than the successful
candidates themselves.
The Grand Central had been very prettily
decorated for the occasion with a profusion
of lights and an abundance of flowers, the
decorations being especially fine in the
parlor where Mr. and Mrs. Smith received
their guests and in the dining room where
two long tables had been set for their &C
commodation. After short reception the
guests were invited to the dining room
where handsome souvenir menu cards told
them what the tables themselves quickly
VERIFIED of sumptu0us and tempting repast
which was soon before them. Another
surprise appeared on another page of the
souvenirs, however, where number of the
gentlemen learned to their momentary dis
comfort that they we're expected to enter.

an appropriate list of toasts. Those re-
spending to the toasts with the subjects

Pardee, 1.-The Law as Candidate;" A. t..

toast, "A Doctor on the Ticket" Mr.. Smith
himself was called on for a speech as we're

was the one responded to by Judge Bush,
"Good Fellowship In Politics." Mr.. George

the evening and kept the company quite
alive to the fact of his presence by bis
constant flow Of stories and appropriate
hits. Music was furnished by mandolin
club.

TAKE A CAB,
An Accommodation for Travellers That
Must be Tried to be Appreciated.

An Accommodation for Travellers That
Must be Tried to be Appreciated.
The Editor of the Davenport Qowa) Daily
Democrat recently made an Eastern trip,
and writes his paper as follows of the Cab
Service of the Pennsylvania System:
ut goes without saying that the Pennsvl-
vania railroad, in all its many divisions and
branches, is one OF the greatest systems Of
freight and passenger transportation in the
world. But 1t is particularly popular with
takes to provide the convenience manv
railroads overlook. For those not experience
ed in the ways of the world, especially for
women Who are journeying long distances
alone, the Pennsylvania supplies a service
that meets real want, and at a cost so
reasonable that all can afford 1t. Reference
Is made to the cab and carriage service,
which is so perfect that nothing further is
to be desired.
ION the arrival of trains In Philadelphia,
Washington, New York, and other cities
there are always In waiting carriages and
competent drivers. These take the passeng-
er to connecting lines and to hotels at
charge that is almost nominal In comparison
with the usual uncertain way of getting
about-hackmen who, too often, are ire
sponsible and untrust- worthy. The same
service is at the travellers disposal for TAX
ing trains and ferries. One may as 50 fely
enter Pennsylvania cab as Pennsylvania
sleeping Car.
"This accommodation Is no money max
ing one, but it meets a want long felt in q
way to be appreciated Oh the first trial, and
to be patronized thereafter. The writer has
tried 1t by night as we'll as by day, and this
unsolicited commentator is not intended
80 much for the benefit of the Pennsylvania
company as it is for the unfortunates who,
have fallen into the hands of unknown and
uncertain persons who too commonly charge
unreasonaby for what they do. The per.
picked traveller who reaches large city
and dOsn't know what to do can make no
mistake by taking Pennsylvania cab"

Fully 5000 people will winter In the
immediate vicinity of Nome, but there
will be but little for them to do. Many
are remaining in for the express pur.
pose of relocating claims that have not
been legally represented during the
pa, season, and January LIST will see
hurdreds scattered over as many miles
in search of unrepresented claims
1t to be hoped that this re locating
will open up new strikes, otherwise l
am of the opinion that Nome camp will
be short lived as a mining camp. 1t
will probably, for years to come. be a
supply-center for large section of
northwestern Alaska, but unless new
strikes are made in the immediate
vicinity of the city. it's output Of gold
will diminish rather than increase.
There will be no winter digging at
Nome, or at least, there will be none of
Importance. The absence of timber
makes winter digging almost prohibi-
tory, and unless some economical gaso-
line or coal oil arrangement is invented,
winter digging in the whole of Seward
peninsula will never be q profitable
business.
Nome will have ''twice q month"
mail service from Nov. to May 81,
and an additional twice q month service
from December to March 31st, thus
giving it a weekly service between De.
cember / and March 81; therefore, the
residents will not be cut off entirely
from the outside world this winter as
they were last.
Iwould not advise your readers to 60
to Alaska expecting to make a fortune,
as the chances are dead against their
succeeding. 1t is roughly estimated
that one out of every thousand who
have gone to Alaska during the past
three years have succeeded in making
fortune, while the other nine hundred
ninety-nine have made total failure.
Yours very truly,
Ed j. HUNT.

Collapse from Stomach Trouble.

OwOsso friends of Hal II. Seeley, of Ann
panied by a report which became circulated
the first of the week that he had lost his
mind and had become insane. Mr. Seeley
has been very i'll at the Battle Creek sani-
tarium but is now greatly improved and the
report that he is even in any danger of los
ing his mind is declared to be utterly with
out foundation. Mr.. Seeley Is graduate
of the OwOsso high school and of the
University and young man of more than
usual ability. The many friends of himself
and his family will be greatly relieved to
learn that the report was false one and
that Mr.. Seeley's condition has been no
worse than it has been. In connection
with the above THE TIMES adds the fol-
lowing letter received this morning from
Mr.. Dana E. Seeley:
Ann Arbor, November %, 1900.
EDITOR OF TIMES,
Owosso, Mich.
Dear Sir: In order to correct unauthen-
tic reports, and give the friends of Hal d.
Seeley a proper idea of his condition, l
would like to say that DR.. Phelps tells us
he Is suffering from a general collapse,
caused, not by hard study and over work as
has been stated, but by serious stomach
and bowel difficulty. He was operated up
on several days ago for hemorroids, and by
so doing the doctor thinks he has removed
an obstruction which was the prime cause
of his sickness. We have great confidence
in DIR. Phelps opinion, and he tells us that
he sees no reason why the patient sh ould
not be entirely we'll within q comparatively
short time. Yours truly

a total OF 1877 less votes for state senator In

him strongly In some quarters Of the county.
In this county Mr.. Robson received a

Fourth Class p. O.'s to be Abolished
II Postmaster General Smith Has
Ills WAY.
From the Detroit Journal:

From the Detroit Journal:
WASHINGTON, ID. G. Nov. 19:-The
adjustment of all fourth class post
offices and star route postal service will
will be recommended by Postmaster
General Smith In his annual report to
congress. He will urge the general
establishment of the rural free delivery
service throughout the country. The
report will also recommend that nearly
four millions of dollars be appropriated
for the maintenance of the service.
The rural free delivery division of the
postoffice department has had an in
teresting history. Perry S. Health, then
first assistant postmaster general, in
augurated the system some three or
four years ago. 1t was received with
disfavor. The fourth class postmasters
saw in it an adjustment of their
revenues, and they rose up In their
might to protest against the innovation.
The first assistant postmaster general,
however, continued ablishing routes.
and the opposition soon faded away.
In looking over the ground the mid.
die west was decided upon as the best
field in which to try the experiment.
Rural free delivery would not be q
success, at first, In the New England or
eastern states because a fourth class
postofflce had been established at nearly
every crossroad. It. was necessary to
try the experiment in a less populated
settlement. The far west was too
sparsely settled, therefore it was decid-
ed that Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Ohio should be the first
states in which the new scheme should
be launched.
