DON'T BITE ON THIS.

G. n. Addison, the Grand Haven dry
goods dealer, favors the Tradesman
with one of the most ingenious appeals
to the generosity of the people which
IL has been the good fortune of the
Tradesman to run across. The letter
purports to come from the Ten Girl
Company, S23 Schiller building, Chica-
90, and at the top Of the circular APP
pears halftone plate, showing the
picture OF ten very ordinary-looking
girls, who are supposed TO be the men,
bers Of the concern. 1t expressly
states that the girls are not objects of
charity, but are obliged to make their
own living and, in line with this pro-
gram, ask the recipient OF the letter
to send them 30 cents for dozen gold
plated handy pins. Mr.. Addison writes
that these pins can be purchased at
wholesale for so cents gross, so that
there is very comfortable profit in
selling them AT the rate of So go a gross
Resort to the mercantile agencies dis
closes the fact that the Ten Girl Com
pauy is a myth and that all connection
with the ten young ladies ends when
the picture is printed on the stationery.
The room given as the headquarters of
the Ten Girl Company is one of the
rooms occupied by the Bicycle Gum
Co., and the woman in charge OF the
business declines to give any informa-
tion as to the ownership of the Ten
Girl Company, the identity of those
connected with it or the capital em-

A BAD STORM.

One of the worst storms known in
years prevailed generally in Michigan
Monday and blockaded the railroads
the worst they have been in many
years, traffic being entirely suspended
on some lines for two days and more
The storm was OF peculiar character
1t showed Sunday until it attained
quite a depth and continued Monday.
Monday night 1t changed TO sleet and
rain, which froze and formed a heavy
crust. Trains became stuck In drifts,
being unable TO move either direction
and had TO be shoveled out. No trains
went west through this city to Grand
Rapids from Monday morning until
between 10 and II o'clock Tuesday
night, being sent down the G.. Il. x |.
from Howard City. Trains from De.
troit Monday afternoon did not reach
Belding until about a. m. Tuesday
morning. Freight trains were aban-
doned altogether, and passenger trains
were all run as double headers
Much fear was entertained that a
sudden change in the weather might
add still greater difficulties, but their
fears have been without foundation
thus far, Wednesday being a beautiful
day. Train service has got back pretty
closely TO schedule time and the train
men are hoping and praying that they
may not be called on to go through an
other such experience right away

NEW FURNITURE STORE.

About the only line of business rep
resented in this city in which one firm
has been able to hold the field without
opposition almost uninteruptedly is
that of furniture and undertaking.
But that is to hold true no longer as
the preliminary details have during
the past week been completed whereby
the firm Of Lapham q Dewitt will
come into existence and open for busi-
ness in those lines about April lst.
The firm will be composed of Mr.. e. b..
Lapham formerly of the BANNER office,
who needs no introduction to the peo-
pie of Belding, and Mr.. Geo. w. De-
Witt of Sherwood, Mich, who has
been engaged in similar business
there. a three years lease has been
executed for the first floor, basement,
and part of the second floor of Web
ster's block, and it viii be repaired
and redtted atUdce so as to be ready Tor
their occupancy on the date above
mentioned. Mr.. Lapham expects to
utilize the front part of the basement
for his Justice office. Mr. Dewitt is a
married man with family and will
move here as soon as he can find suit
able quarters. Belding warmly vel

TIE CANNON BRIDGE.

One of the things TO be voted on at
the coming city election will be an APP
preparation for new bridge at Can
non creek on South Bridge st. In or
der that the voters may have more
thorough understanding of the situa-
tion, city attorney Roosevelt has writ
ten the following article stating the
situation that confronts US at the pres
ent time:
AS the public does not seem to un-
derstand the conditions that confront
us in regard to the bridge over Cannon

is deemed necessary to put in a longer
span than was heretofore. 1t the first
place where the old bridge stands and
for some distances each way there is
nothing but quicksand and you cannot
with "A long rod find any bottom or solid
foundation thereby causing "a great ex-
pense for planking and extra high

by putting in a longer span of bridge

Public safety.

Ignorance or Lack of Respect for the
Public safety.
EDITOR BANNER: | think that the
author Of "Hustled to the Grave, an
article which appeared in the columns
Of the BANNER last week, must have
either been ignorant of the facts con-
corning the body Of Geo. Il. Stewart
or else he has not the least respect for
the sanitary condition OF the city and
the safety OF the public. The Board
of Health did everything that lay in
their power TO crafty the wishes of
the sisters and friends Of the dead
hero, which in fact he was.
Permission was granted to the sister
TO keep the body until the next week
in order TO make arrangements for
holding a military funeral, provided
she could find suitable place to keep
il. The remains were taken to the
undertaking rooms OF Wilson g. Fried
~ where the odor from the body soon
filed the establishment so that it was
almost impossible for the occupants to
remain there, say nothing about
customers who came in and asked the
cause OF the odor. Mr.. Wilson then
notified Miss Stewart that she must
take the body away. Mrs. Jameson
kindly consented to have it put into
her woodshed until arrangements
could be made for the funeral. That
same evening Mr.. Jameson came to
me wanting to know "why | had let
them put that body in his woodshed?"
and in plain "english" reminded me
of my duty" and ordered me to take
it away the next morning.
| would further say that all honor
and respect which we can bestow, is
due TO the brave boys who so heroical-
ly defended their country In its late
struggle for humanity, and even laid
down their lives while fighting the
battles Of a nation Of which we are all
proud. And now while we honor our
dead heros and revere their memory
but must bury their lifeless remains
from our sight, let us remember that
we have duty TO perform in protect
ing, by the best sanitary means at our
command, the lives and health OF those
around us. |. OHLINGER, NJ. D.,

FOREST FIRES IN MAINE.
Flames Destroying Miles of Timber and
Threatening Cities.

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 10.-After, two
months of drought innumerable forest
fires are sweeping through eastern
Maine, destroying miles of timber
lands, while the people in the small
mountain towns are all out ready to
save their homes and property. The
fires are making the greatest havoc in
Hancock and Penobscot counties. At
Oldtogn the fire department and citi-
Gems have been on duty all day, while
the wind sweeps great sheets of flames
across the river and into the village.
In Hancock county 500 men are work
ing day and night fighting the flames.
Another fire is raging near Washing
ton Junction, and a report received
from there tonight says that the
towns of Franklin and Hancock are
in imminent danger of destruction.
The fire has spread towards the city
of Ellsworth and is now within half
a mile of Senator Hale's residence and
still drawing nearer. The senator has
hired large number of men to at
tempt to save his buildings. At Ellis
worth the fire department is staying
up, with apparatus ready to start at
a moments notice. Fire is burning
near Cherryfeld, in Washington coun-
ty. At South Brooksville fire is bear
ing down upon Ames Point, and the
property there, which is owned by
Prof Ames of Tufts college, is in i'm
minent danger.

Queens Cabinet.

When cabinet ministers are first adj
mitted to the privy council they have
to make a solemn oath not to make
known the conversation or proceed
ings of cabinet councils or any com
munications they may have with the
Queen or with another minister. They
cannot give hint CT such things even
t. the highest members of the govern
ment who are not cabinet ministers.
No clerk or secretary is allowed to be
present at cabinet councils, no written
record is kept and 1t is even the GUS
tom not to take any notes. Hence no
one but the Queen and the ministers
ever know what has really been said
and decided at cabinet meetings. The
oath of secrecy lasts to the end of life.
A former cabinet minister is as much
bound by 1t as an actual cabinet min
lister. Any conversation a minister or
a peer may have with the Queen on
state matters must also be kept secret;
so must letters to and from the SOW
ereign.

DESPERADOEs SHOOTAClTIzEN
Captured by a Posse After q Thirty
Mile Chase.

Marion, Ind, Sept. 10.-Mart and
Bill Nesbitt, brothers, who are despera-
does when drinking and who have ter
rorized the rural towns of Swayzee,
Herbst and Point Isabel for several
years, rode into Swayzee for the pur-
pose of squaring a score with the town
marshal, who had attempted to arrest
them last week druing the fair at that
place. They were accompanied by
Everett Leer. who is also desperate
character. Leer became so intoxicated
that he was separated from the Nesbitts
and placed in Jail. The Nesbitts
learned that Leer was in Jail and they
procured an ak and two revolvers from
Flank Stilwells saloon and started for
the jail Stilwell discovered the loss of
his revolvers and followed the Nesbitts
down the street and demanded the re,
turn of his property. Mart Nesbitt
shot Stilwell through the neck and
arm, and the Nesbitts mounted their
horses and rode away. Sheriff Brad
ford, with posse of deputies, chased
them thirty miles. The posse surround
ed them and they surrendered When
captured they had five revolvers.

NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY.
Police Think the Victim Was Possibly
CrucIfied.


New York, Sept. S.-The North
River tide yesterday brought to the
shores of New York another murder
mystery. The victims name is be-
lieved to have been August Eichen.
The body, with gashed throat and lac
Grated hands, bumped against the pier
at the foot of Twentieth street. The
fact that both hands are punctured as
with sharp spike adds to the mys-
terry. To the police 1t looks as If the
man had been crucified. One hour
after the body was discovered it was
in the morgue, and Central office de-
tiyes were at work trying to trace
the crime to its author. The police
nave little doubt that Eichen. If that
IS his name. was murdered They
gave no doubt. either that he made
fierce fight for his life. The CASH
ed hands indicate that. In the right
vest pocket was small slip of paper
that had been folded to the size OF a
postage stamp. On this paper in
capitals are the letters az. F.. l. X"
Under these letters are the capitals
"B. X. N. X" The police are puzzled
at the strange characteristics. They
believe these letters signify some
thing that "Eichen" was expected to
do, by society. 1t was suggested
last night that the man might have
been an anarchist. who had fallen a
victim to disobedience to his order.
The police also have an idea that
"Eichen" met his successful rival in
love and was murdered.

AN ANARCHIST QUEEN
n-1l.
Lucy ParsMs,
the Head of the Chicago
Reds.

The dominating figure in the an
Rrchist circles of Chicago is Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, the wife OF the noted an
archist who was hanged for his con-
hection with the Haymarket riots. She
Is to Chicago what Louise Michel is to
Paris. Recently Mrs. Parsons was ar
rested for anarchistic utterances, but
she is accustomed to being in police
coils. She hates the police and the
latter watch her as they would can
of dynamite. "Hirelings of capital"
and Minions of plutocrats!" are her
pet names for the officers of the law
and these she hurls at them when she
harangues her followers on the street
corners.
/, Mrs. Parsons was born on the brown
barrens of Texas ranch As years ago.
Her mother was a Creek Indian and
her father a pure Mexican, so that this
noted queen of anarchists is mixture
of the Aztec and the North American
aborigine. Her features are not In
dian. Her face is brown, oval and
well shaped although her ears are
FATHER badly turned. Her eyes are
long and brown, and her hair is not
straight black but kinky. Her hands
are Enthusiastically long and large,
with pointed fingers. When she talks
her rather thick nostrils dilate and her
whole face and figure culver with ex-
element.
Do
she was II years old, and left the Tex
as ranch. Parsons was then report
