The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1901-07-12

The end of the Sunday closing act in the
aty of OwOsso has apparently been reached.
The first case brought to trial, that OF g. A.
Conner, was the one which was regarded
by the prosecution as being the one most
favorable to defendants Of any. In that
case, without even so much as sign Of
. disagreement of the jury, the verdict was
Tor acquittal. That did not decide the
matter so far as the rest were concerned
however and accordingly the prosecutor
decided that the case against August
Stephan, which was the clearest Of all for
the prosecution, should be tried next. If
any OF the rest were to be convicted under
the statue Mr.. Stephan was clearly the one
and after his trial 1t could be seen what
move would be necessary. The trial of
Mr.. Stephan was held Tuesday and re-
suited in an acquittal by the jury after it
had been out but short time. The case
being thus decided Prosecuting Attorney
Richards moved that the cases against the
other i've dealers who were charged with
similar offense committed on the same day,
be discontinued. They were therefore dis
missed. As the juries In both cases have
been composed OF men of the very best
standing In the city and of even more than
average intelligence, 1t seems more than
merely probable that some time will elapse
before Z, any more arrests are made in
'Owosso for the failure Of restaurants.
candy and fruit stores, etc., to close their
places 6f business. Prosecuting Attorney
Richards suggests that IL the citizens Of
Owosso really wish all Owosso business
places closed on Sunday, they pass an
ordinance to that effect just as though there
were no state law on the subject. The
suggestion is an interesting one from
several stsndpoints. The mayor might
suggest to the council that 1t pass such an
ordinance. 1t is hardly likely that there
will be any action brought against Owosso
dealers under such an ordinance this year
however

From some observations which have been
made with reference to the recent food In
The southwestern part of the city 1t would
appear that the watershed which exists
south OF this city, dividing the waters of the
Maple from those of the Shiawassee, and
therefore those going to Lake Huron from
those flowing across the state to Lake
Michigan, does not always act as geogra-
pnies say watershed should act. 1t is
claimed that large amount of the water
which came down last Friday overfowed
rom the Maple river, claim which
would seem to have all the more reasOna-
pleness from the fact that the water con-
iinued to rise for more than a day after
the rain was over.

Gov. Bliss and a Second Term.

The literary bureau which is trying to
work up sentiment against giving Governor
Bliss what every other governor who
wanted it has had-a denomination, Is
showing signs of being badly winded. A
report sent out from Grand Rapids to the
effect that the association of county clerks
which met there had taken action opposing
giving him O second term, has been
repudiated by the clerks themselves. No
such action was taken. The association is
not partisan organization. 1t was formed
for mutual benefit. Some of the members
are democrats. The matter OF the gov
ernorship has never been discussed at one
of the meetings of either the association or
of the executive committee. The report
was absurd on the face of 1t but was cal.
culated, of course, to misead and deceive.
Asa corollary to this canard 1t was given
out that Mr.. Stearns, of Ludington, whQ
was one of the leading competitors of
Colonel Bliss In the last state convention
would be a candidate against him for the
nomination in 1902
Mr.. Steatns denies this In the most
emphatic aud positive manner. He is not
and will not be candidate and Is in favor
OF Governor Bliss denomination. -Ionis

1t occurs to THE TIMES that 1t is very
poor policy on the part OF any citizen of
o wosso to pay any attention to rumors that
the Ann Arbor division may be removed
from Durand to Alma. 1t Is still poorer
policy to have such rumors ;elegraphed from
Owosso to the Detroit dailies. Let such
statements come from other sources. In
the meantime let's hope that the division
will remain in Durand, which will be far
better for Owosso than to have 1T go else
where.

Annual School Meeting Called Out

Largest Attendance, in Many Years.
The annual school-meeting was held
in the armory Monday night with the
largest attendance which has been
called out by any school meeting for
years The chief object of interest for
the voters who attended seemed to lie
in the matter of the election of trustees
to succeed j. II. Robbins and j. C..
Shattuck. In fact so bent upon the
election of the trustees were the greater
part of the voters that they scarcely
seemed to hear the reading of the inn
portant reports which were submitted
10 them at that time, even the report OF
the cost of the new Central School itself
being listened to with slight attention.
The meeting was called TO order by
the president of the board, DR.. A. nj.
Hume and the reading Of the secretary s
report of the meeting of July 8, 1900
was called for. The minutes were read
by Secy. j. c., Shattuck andwere ap'
proved. The annual report of the
treasurer, H. G. Frieseke, was then pre-.
sented, accepted and adopted and the
annual report of the secretary of the
board was read by SECRETARY Shattuck.
AS the latter contains also summary
of the treasurer's report. only the secre-
tary's is given. 1t Is as follows:

Music is well established part OF our

charge OF special teacher for three
years and does not require an extended
report 1t is found that nine tenths OF
our school children do creditable work
in this subject, and fully one third have
special talent for music.

Interest In the study OF English has in
creased rapidly in the last few years.
Public opinion reinforces the boards OF
education in their demands that the
pupils In our schools shall acquired good
English style. The methods to be pur.
sued and the difficulties to be met have
received careful attention in our schools
the past year. Two results may be ex.
pected from this effort: First, our pu-
pills shall be able to express their
thoughts in an accurate and pleasing
way; secondly, that they shall possess a
fairly good knowledge of English litera-
ture.

"The Little Eoxes.v

They had hunted around for something

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Although Dr.
Talmage was hlndered from attending
the great annual meeting OF the Chris.
tian Endeavor society at Cincinnati,
bis sermon shows him to be In sym.
pathy with the great movement; text.
Amos tx, 13, "Behold the days come,
saith the Lord, that the plowman shall
overtake the reaper"
Unable because OF other important
duties to accept the invitation to take
part In the great convention of Chris
tian Endeavorers at Cincinnati, begun
last week, I preach sermon OF CON
graduation for all the members Of that
MAGNIFICENT association, whether now
gathered in vast assemblage or busy In
their places of usefulness, transatlantic
and cisatlantic. And, as it Is now har-
vest time In the fields and sickles are
flashing In the gathering Of a great
crop, find mighty suggestiveness in
my text.
II is picture Of a tropical Cline
with season so prosperous that the
harvest reaches clear over to the plant
ing time and the swarthy husbandman,
busy cutting the grain, almost feels the
breath of the horses on his shoulders,
the horses hltched to the plow prepar-
ing for new crop. Behold the days
come, saith the Lord, that the plowman
shall overtake the reaper" When Is
that? That is now. That is this day,
when hardly have you done reaping
one harvest Of religious result than the
plowman Is getting ready for another.
In phraseology charged with all ven-
ON and abuse and caricature | know
that infidels and agnostics have de-
ciared that Christianity has collapsed;
that the Bible Is an obsolete book; that
the Christian church is on the retreat.
I shall answer that wholesale charge
today.
Between 100000 and 100000 En-
deayorers sworn before high heaven
that they will do all they can to take
America for God, Europe for God, Asia
and Africa for God-are not the signs
most cheering? Or. to return to the
agricultural figure Of my text, more
than a million reapers are overtaken
by more than million plowmen. Be
sides this, there are more people who
believe in the Bible than at any time
In the worlds existence.
