BRYAN'S Monopoly.

II do not believe" said Bryan at his re-
ception in New York, ''that God ever pade
a man good enough to stand at the bead of a
private monopoly and fix for its own profit
the price of thespecessaries of lise" How
about Bryan's book?
BY taking ont copyright ID his own
name, Bryan has complete monopoly of
that book, and he charges about four times
what the WORK would bring under free COM
petition. But is the work "a necessary of
LIE" BryaD's followers seem to think they
must have 1t at any price. And according
to bis cwn repre-: entations, Bryan's follow
ers are imprCv, rished people. At least, his
arguments are claimed to be Tor the poverty
stricken, AID they must be the people
interested in the book. Hence by virtue of
his copyright monopoly, Bryan is extorting
from laboriDg, poor men a monopoly price
for something which they regard as a
necessary. According to Bryan's own defin-
itlon how could IheIe Le worse monopoly
than his?

township
The room in which the ceremony took

evergreens, with plentiful sprinkling
OF bright flowers In corner of the
room bank of green. with vases of
beautiful flowers at the base formed the
background for the bridal party.
AT twelve o'clock, to the strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march, played by
Miss Grace Calverts, of Pontiac, the
party were ushered in by the Rev. Geo.
Wright, of Davisburg First came the
little Misses Margery Shepard carrying
the ring and Leita Thompson, who
carried the brides bouquet Then came

tiful and impressive ring service was

After the congratulations which were

| with much concern to the owner OF ;
home. You may not have received ont
as yet, but there are many who have ant
it may be your turn next. How i'm
portant, then it is to have man in thu
office who is conversant with the law
governing the real estate transactions
Such man you have in j. ID. Royce the
present incumbent.
The people have long considered the
Importance of the office and none but
good and competent men have been Sc
lected to fill the position. The Older
voters remember with pride the services
of the late Charles Holman, the foresight
of N. A. Finch in securing for the
county the valuable abstracts, and the
fidelity of w. H. Bigelow in serving the
people. This illustrious trio has been
followed with J. d. Royce, who has
been no less faithful in the performance
of the duties of the office with a degree
of intelligence surpassed by none OF his
predecessors.
Mr.. j. d. Royce was again unamious-
ly nominated for the office. There are
none to say but he merited this con-
fidence and favor. To be sure it takes
time to master the intricacies OF the
Office and become familiar with the law
applicable to the same. But Mr.. Royce
by close application has become master
of them all and is now indeed a valuable
man in the Office. The people doing
business with the office, or at least a
large majority of them are ignorant OF
the many points that are valuable in
real estate deals. This Is not strange
for they have not had the opportunity
to become informed. How important
then it is to have an honest man in the
office, that is, man that you can trust
with the records of your homes. 1t
seems unnecessary to say that the pres
ent incumbent Is such man, aud one
deserving your vote.
Mr.. Royce enjoys a high degree Of
popularity with all of his acquaintance
but ii is not strange. for more unselfish
man never filled any office. His will
ingness to help others, his genial affable
manner cannot fail to attract others TO
him. This however is no new acquisi-
ton as those who knew him years ago,
knew him as he is known by his new
acquaintance. He was always gentle
man and always will be. as he could
not be anything else. He received II
large vote two years ago and the indi-
cations are that ii will be greatly in
creased this year.
You can make no mistake II you vote

Take care of the stomach and the health
will take care of itself. Ii people only
realized the sOuDdDess of that statement the
majority might live to good old age like
Moses, "the eye undimmed, the natural
force undated" 1t is in the stomach that
the blood is made. 1t Is from the stomach
that nourishment is dispensed to nerve and
muscle. Ii the stomach is ''weak" it can't
do its whole work for each part OF the body.
If 1t Is diseased the disease will faint the
nOurishment which Is distributed, and so
spread disease throughout the body. 1t was
the realization of the importance of the
stomach as the very center Of health and
the common source of disease, which led
DIR. Pierce to prepare his "Golden Medical
DiscOv ry." Diseases which originate In
the stomach must be cured through the
stomach" The souDdness of this theory is
proved every dav by cures OF diseased
organs, heart, liver, lungs, blood, by the
use OF the discovery" which Is solely and
singly medicine for the blood and organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t Is temper
ance medicine containing no alcohol, whisky
or other intOxicant.

Shot While Out Hunting.

Clyde Stark, the thirteen year old
son Of Mrs. Emma Stark, of Grand ave

instantly killed himself while out hunt.
ing with the two Walton boys, Monday
afternoon. The boys started out to
hunt quail southeast of the city with
one old double barrelled shot gun for
the whole party. They wished to hunt
on the Baldwin farm and were standing
in the cornfeld asking permission of
the hired man when the report of the
gun was heard just behind the others
where young Stark was standing. The
rest turned around just in time to see
him already fallen to the ground with
one side of his face literally blown Off
The exact way in which the accident
occurred therefore cannot be learned
though it must of been in some way the
result of his own carelessness. DR.. E.
I. Wilson and Coroner Loring were
summoned at once and the jury impan-
neled by the latter returned a verdict
Tuesday morning that the boy came to
his death as result of the accidental

In live stock and in nine of the staple
farm crops alone, the American farmer
receives S1,212, 167, O91 more in good sound
money, as good as gold, this year than he
did in 1895. No wonder the democrats are
not saying much about money and values
of crops and produce this year in the face of
the complete disproval of all of their
prophecies of four years ag2, but 1t cannot
help occurring to some of the farmers who
reflect on those disprOven statements and

Cassius Gould and wife, of Fergus, are

His business is increasing-Rev. Hub
bard, Superintendent of the Anti Saloon
League, in Michigan, with his assistant
Mr.. Lewis, held services in all our
churches last Sunday. They held a
rousing union meeting at the Congrega-
tional church in the evening. Their
business is to have submitted to the
people of Shiawassee county next spring
the question of local option for the
county-Large quantities of beans are
being marketed here at from s1.4O to
81. so per bushel--Trade has been i'm
proving here right along; and now
since the election of McKinleyis assured
even the silverites smile and chuckle

times. Well, good dose of prosperity
ought not to be hard for anyone to take.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-10-26

Maybe the democrats of Shiawassee
county think that 1t is circus to run the
ofice of Judge of probate and so chose Mat
Wixom, who has pleased the children of the
county with his ''greatest in the world
twenty-five cent one ring circus and trained
animal show, "for years, to be their candidate
for the Office of judge of probate. The
people of the county however who have a
regard for the safety of their estates and
those who are interested in the matter of
the equitable and economical administration
of the estates Of deceased relatives or friends
will be quite likely to take different view
Of the matter. The democratic candidate
may make good Snowman but that is no
reason why the people of Shiawassee county
should be asked to make him Judge of
probate. There is already man in the
Office of probate judge who has been so
satisfactory to the people of the county that
he has been twice reelected by them to the
important Office which be now holds. Judge
Matthew Bush does not claim to have any
life lease on the Office which he holds but 1t
Is highly probable that the people of
Shiawassee will ask him to continue in the
office for another term. The Office is
different in its conduct from the conduct of
circus.

Of course II makes no difference that there
are several of the members of the democrat
party, high In the party councils, who are
members of the biggest trusts In the country
or even that their candidate for congress in
this congressional district has too numerous
and too rich trust holdings to mention. The
democrat party never did anything to aid in
placing the trusts under control anyway,
and these men can help in doing nothing
again as we'll as any democrats could.
