summated whereby the business of the

J. Ray and G. II. Marquette, who will

in ME MORIAM.

On Thursday, July IL, 1900. just as
the church bells were ringing for the
mid-week prayer meeting, that she
loved, Mrs Elisabeth O. Spencer entered
into rest. She had rounded out a full
and especially useful life and it was fit
ting that at eventime she should fall
asleep. The funeral was held at the
house Saturday at 2 100 p. m, DR.. A. +.

laid at rest in Riverside cemetery.
She was born in Starkey, N. Y, July

New England stock and few weeks
after her birth, returned to the family
home in Sharon Conn, where her child
hood and early days were spent When
only 10 years old, she was the successfu al
preceptress of the Kellogg Female Sem
mary at Clinton, n. Y. In 1850 she
married Rev. Franklin A. Spencer, with
whom she lived in the estate OF marriage

were born TO her, all Of whom are living

band, Mrs. Spencer had made her home
with her eldest son, in whose house she
died.
She was a woman Of great energy, de-
cision Of character and unselfishness OF
life. She was prominent in christian
work, being especially interested in mis-
sionary labors. In September, 1899, she
suffered from a severe accident, which
developed an organic heart trouble from
which she died. While talking cheer.
fully about her friends, in the middle OF
never finished sentence, her heart
stopped beating, and she passed into the
presence of the Lord whom she for many
years had served.
Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord from henceforth. Yea saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their work to follow them. y

Alma College School of Music.

A very beautiful brochure has just
been issued by Alma College, containing
pictures of the college and the three
teachers of music, and giving full partic-
ulars as TO courses of instruction, advan-
tages and expenses. This booklet should
be in the hands of all lovers of music Ill
this vicinity and state. People should
know what opportunities for instruction
in music the college affords. We gladly
add word of appreciation in this h-
rection. OF Miss Wagner we need only
say that she came to us crowned with
the honors of the New England Con-
servatory and several years of expert
ence in successful teaching. She has
been here for two years and has made
herself so necessary to the college that
her salary has been raised twice.
Prof. Milliken, whose magic touch up
on the violin has given inspiration to boys
and girls alike, has been here one and
one half years He is at present i'll New
York, fitting himself still further for his
chosen and beautiful calling. He Will
be ready to resume his work i'll Septem
Der.
Mrs. St. John came from Dresden
Germany last autumn. She was grad
uate of the Royal Conservatory there
When she reached Alma the department
of vocal music was in chaos. She coulo
be here only for three days i'll the week
She soon had all that she could do, ant
at the close of the year the results were
amazing. She has been so successfu
that private parties have given part o.
the money with which TO secure her ser
vices all the time for the ensuing year
She is spending the summer i'll Germany
doing special graduate work.
With these distinguished teachers ant
their associates at the head of the Schoo
of Music, Alma is bound to be as never
before, the musical center Of centra
Michigan. We are sure that the fame
of the school, based upon the hlghes
merit, will soon reach far into the sur
rounding states of the west.

MONSTER DEMONSTRATION.
A. B. Darragh Warmly Greeted by His
Friends on His Return from Trav-
eTSe City.
ALL JOINED IN THE PROCESSION.


When the republicans of Gratiot
county received the news last week
Thursday that Hon A. b. Darragh Of
Gratiot had been nominated 10 run on
the republican ticket for congress in the
II tn district, it was at once conceived
that a fitting reception be given him up
on his return home. Therefore the re-
publicans in st. Louis, Ithaca and Alma
got their heads together and planned
the grand affair that took place in Alma
and st. Louis last Friday. Itwas known
that Mr.. Darragh would return on the
30 p. N. Ann Arbor train accompanied
by nearly all the Gratiot delegation and
few Of Isabella's quota. and according
ly about fifty teams were driven from
ST. Louis to meet that train at Alma
and were joined here by those coming
from Ithaca who brought along their
band to furnish music to enliven the
occasion. At Alma nearly every busi-
ness house in town was decorated with
"Old Glory" and bunting until the place
looked like Fourth of July morning
We are pleased to state that even those
who are opposed to the principles of the
party whose advocate Mr.. Darragh is,
did honor to the occasion and joined in
welcoming our guests. The train was
reported one hour and fifty.fve minutes
late on account of a wreck at Lake
George and therefore the visitors were
obliged to pass the time as well as they
could while waiting. A hack from the
Wright house livery, drawn by four
white horses, had been trimmed up and
was driven 70 the train for the purpose
of conveying Mr.. Darragh and few of
his party from here to st. Louis, and
when the train pulled into the station
he was met by crowd of nearly one
thousand admirers and friends. With a
shout of "Darragh" the crowd surged
forward and those that were in advance
soon had the gentleman answering to
that name on their shoulders and he was
carried to the hack and deposited there

sion started up town. When at the
corner Of State and Superior-sts. the
hack was halted and in a few well
chosen words MIR. Dodds introduced
"our'' congressman. After a short
speech the procession was again started
towards st. Louis, the Alma contingent
joining in, and when that place was
reached everyone started in to make az
much noise as possible and let loose the
pent up enthusiasm. A stand had beer
erected in the middle of the main street
from which he speakers cut loose theil
oratory in the evening. Fireworks as
sited in furnishing entertainment fol
the visitors and in making the day one
long to be remembered. Never has {
nominee been given such welcome il
the history of the district, and if fore
cast of election day, Hon. A. b. Darragf
will represent the llth congressional dis
trict by 10000 majority.
