The County Convention,

The republican county committee has de-

and conventions this year and to avoid un
necessary confusion by calling but one
county convention for the election of dele
gates to the senatorial, congressional, en- !,
the two state conventions. The caucuses
already called or about to be called will
elect delegates to this county convention
which will in turn elect delegates to all

The closing feature of the recent men,

carried out Tuesday night when in the par

of the Y. Nj. c. A. Auxiliary served the
competing sides with turkey supper

with their pink and green tints, while the
tables with cut glass and silver and burning
tapers were in themselves tempting indica-
tions of what they were soon t0 bear
The literary part of the program was a
very pleasant one and number of t0asts
were well responded to. Mr.. j. II. Web
ster acted as tOastmaster and showed that
he was not only thoroughly at home In that
capacity but made all feel that he was at
home in quite the right place. l.. ID. VII
son responded to the toast "VictOrs," he
being the captain of the victorious "Blues, I"
and hence presumed to understand all the
good qualities of contestants, at least such
as needed mention. His chief exultatlop,
however, proved to be on the increased
membership of the association. DIR. K T.
Wilson, captain Of the defeated "Reds,"
prescribed and took his medicine by re-
spending to the toast The Defeated" Rev.
G. II. Hanks responded to the toast, The
Association md the Church." and said that
live association such as the OwOsso one
was but part of the church vigorously at
work. DR.. j. B. Dowdigan toasted "rhe
Ladies" in we'll deserved and quite thor
Ough way. Van X. Pond presented the
toast, "rhe Young Man and his Country"
with stirring appeal to the young men to
take their christianity and enter into politics
with il. The musical features of the even
ing were two heartily encOred piano duets
by Mrs. Van Ness and Miss Peterson. The
program closed with the song, America, I"
sung by the assembly. Both the ladies'
auxiliary and Secy. K. c. Van Ness are
to be congratulated on the success of the
banquer, and in fact large amount of the
popularity and success of the association
itself is due to these same workers.

q If the snow storm which residents CT
this vicinity experienced last week will
linger In their memory for long time
it is equally certain that the blizzard of
Monday afternoon and the continued
storm of Tuesday has like chance for
great longevity in the minds of the
people. The most of the trains which
passed thro the city were drawn by two
locomotives each and even then
number of the trains were hours late.
The Monday evening trains from the
east came near not getting in until
Tuesday morning and a number of
people waited at Durand, hoping
against hope for either the Ann Arbor
or ID. & M. to arriye to carry them to
Owosso. for nearly four hours before
the Ann Arbor at last pulled in, coupled
on fresh motive power and left while
those who were going beyond Owosso
on the ID. & M. were still wondering
when their train would arrive. The
L. S. & M. south "died' near Garland
and blocked the Ann Arbor road fer
hours even after the Grand Trunk had
sent up additional engines to pull them
and their train out. The sight of the
furious storm and of the mighty efforts
of the ponderous locomotives coupled
together to attempt to draw even short
trains, and the confused and doubly
choppy discharges of the exhausts of
the double headers as they attempted
to start out and merely spun their
wheels around on the slippery tracks at
the meeting of several of the trains at
the Durand junction was something TO
be remembered while it is doubtful if

New Switchboard.

Manager r. w. Crawford and Engine
A. f. Barker of the Detroit Switch board
Company have been busily at work setting
up the new five hundred number multiple
board In the Owosso Telephone Company's
Office this week. The new board is being
set up in the room adjoining the present
Office on the west, which has been rented by
the company for Its use. AS soon as the new
board Is connected up fully, and whatever an
nOyance incident to the transfer of the lines
from one board to the other is ended--and
the transfer will be made as much as possible
during hours when there is the least use OF
the lines-the subscribers to the wOsso
Telephone Co. will begin to enjoy better
service than ever. While an opportunity 10
employ an additional operator on the board
will at once become almost a necessity,
yet the added speed which can be Sc
cured by the ability of any one of the opera
tors to Call any subscriber on the board for
one Of the subscribers ringing in on her sec
ton of the board, instead of, as now, being
often Obliged to ask the assistance of one or
perhaps two other operators, will effect
great saving in time and will Of itself i'm
prove the good service already given to
very marked degree. The task of setting
up the board In running order is incidentally
no small one, over five thousand soldered
joints having to be made in the course of
the work. Mr.. Barker, one of the cOmpany's
electrical engineers, is a most pleasant
and gentlemanly young man, graduate of
Orchard Lake and later of the Boston Tech,
and throughly understands his business.

the placing in nomination of candidates for
the county offices. This convention can be
held at the most convenient time during the
summer without any reference to outside
affairs.
The above decision Of the committee will
do away with no small amount OF expense
and unnecessary loss of time which the
calling of three or more county conventions
would demand. With but one convention,
however, to choose delegates to the senate
rial, the congressional, the regular statecon-
vention for the nomination of state officers,
and the state convention for the election of
delegates to the national convention, 1t will
be evident that there can be no excuse for
not turning out and giving all the time
necessary to make these caucuses and the
forth coming county convention clear and
unmistakable expression of the wishes Of
the republican voters Of this county. The
plea that there is perplexing number of
caucuses and conventions cannot be made
In this instance, and If republicans wish to
have voice in the policy of the party and
its nominations, they have but this one con-
vention and set of caucnsts 10 keep in mind
and work for.
Let every live republican then remember
that 1t is but q small sacrifice that he Is
called on to make; that the caucuses soon
to be held, and the ensuing county conven-
ton made up of delegates chosen by these
caucuses will in the end represent them in
their choice for state officers, congressman,
and president.

New Departure
one MONTH free.

DR.. A. B. Spinney, of Detroit,
also proprietor of Reed City SAM
tarium, is coming to your town,
where he will remain for one day
only to give the sick an oppOr-
tunity to consult him that cannot
see him at his Sanitarium. The
doctor has so much faith in the eX-
perience he has had in treating
chronic diseases that he will give
one months treatment and 'medi-
cines free.
ALSO FREE SURGICAL OPERATIONS
TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE
TOO POOR TO PAY.
All that he asks in return is that
every patient treated will state to
their friends the results obtained
by his treatment. All forms of
chronic diseases and deformities
treated. No man in this State has
had such extended experience in
the treatment of Catarrh, Eye, Ear,
Throat and Lung Diseases as the
doctor. He graduated 81 years ago
from Cleveland, Ohio; was Is years
in general practice after that lee
tured as Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology in Detroit Homeopathic
Medical College for 2 years; was 3
years Superintendent of Alma and
Ypsilanti Sanitariums. This expe-
rience, combined with many years
study in the best hospitals in the
country, and examining and treat
ing thousands of chronic cases, has
prepared him to cure when the
general practitioner fails. Have
you been sick for years? Are you
discouragedg Call and see us, we
will tell you whether we can cure
you or not. If we cannot cure you,
we will tell you what relief we can
give you.
BeHr Remember, one month will
be absolutely free-medicines, sur
gical operations, and the benefit of
all our skill to all who are too poor
to pay. Our methods of treat
ment is all that is known by all the
schools, with the aid of electricity,
that most wonderful of all agents
in Paralysis, Loss of Power, Rheu-
matism, and all diseases of the nerv-
Gus system. Go early, as my Office
is always crowded.
N. B.-Cancers, Tumors, Blood
and Skin Diseases cured by new
system. Piles cured in from B to
80 days without the knife. Female
and private diseases of all forms
treated successfully. Many patients
that cannot be treated at home can
be cured at our Sanitarium, which
is i'm charge of the best of medical
skill, under the Doctors direction.
Terms for board and treatment the
lowest of any sanitarium or hospital
IN the United States.

House for One Week, commenc-
ing Saturday, March 10th.

PRAISES CONGRESSMAN FoRDNEY
Prevents Standard OIL Co. from Participant
ing IN Government Subsidies.

ing IN Government Subsidies.
Congressman Joseph w. Fordney of this
district has again attracted the attention,
not only of the solOns at Washington, but
of the friends of good government through
out the country, by winning out as he did
yesterday morning in his fight for certain
notifications of vast importance in the
Payne Hanna ship subsidy bill.
He had already shown in committee the
kind of American manhood in him when he
refused to allow a New York corporation
lawyer to make insinuating remarks about
members of congress when speaking to a
congressional committee, and he had won
recognition on the floor of the house, and
had excited considerable surprise by the
ease with which he secured the consent of
the house to pass an amendment to the
federal laws requiring ship masters to i'm
mediately enter In their logs accounts of
any accidents which might befall them,
very important matter to shipping
and all commercial interests which he
and which passed the senate and be-
came federal law within about two
days. This time the fight was fought
and the victory won in committee, the
place where the real work of congress
must almost necessarily be done, and last
nights Detroit Journal gives the details of
the victory under flaring headlines.
The bill as framed would have practic-
ally limited the payment of subsidies to the
big transportation companies and would
have offered no encouragement whatever to
the companies which have one OF two
freighters in the foreign trade, the very
class which 1t is most important of all to
foster, and the number of which should be
increased
Now, according to the amendment for
which Mr.. Fordney fought and which he
woD, these smaller companies carrying
part Of the foreign trade will secure their
share of the subsidy, the only requirements
being that their ships shall be such as will
rate A l, and be able to make ten knots an
hour The subsidy will also be limited to
ten instead of twenty years and decrease
five per cent each year. The other i'm
portaDt point won was the clause which
prevents the Standard Oil Company's big
tank line, the steamers of which are fit for
no other work than their OVID, from partc-
pating in this subsidy. This latter feature,
is In itself important enough to win for
Mr. FOrdney the congratulations of the
entire country. Here again 1t is the Ameri-
can spirit, calling for fair play which as
serts itself In the congressman from the
eighth Michigan district, leading him to
fight for the interests of the smaller COM
panies and the whole country, and to shut
out the possibility of the disgrace of paying
tribute out of the national treasury to
the Standard Oil octopus. Congressman
Fordney Is entitled to the heartiest con-
gratulatiOns-and has been receiving them
too-while the eighth congressional district
OF Michigan is also entitled to some con-
gratulati0ns on having man of the stamp
of American manhood which Mr.. Fordney
possesses to represent them and the Ameri-
can people at large in the nations leglsla-
tive councils.
