Found Dead in Her Bedroom.

Mrs. Nathan ID. Marshall was found
dead, lying on the floor of her bed room
yesterday afternoon. She had not been
seen about the house by her neighbors
since Tuesday evening and from the ap-
pearance of the body when examined
by the officers and physician it seemed
more than likely that she had been dead
since sometime that same evening.
Mrs. Marshall was alone much of The
time, her husband being absent the
greater part of the time doing carpen-
ter work in the northwest part of the
county, and the couple having no chill
dren. Her home which is at the north
end OF Summit avenue, is just across
the street from the residence of James
Flanagan. The family of the latter are in
the habit of getting water from that place
and yesterday after having seen nothing
of Mrs Marshall, but having heard the
dog in the house, they became suspici-
Gus that something was wrong. David
Flanagan and Charles Fuller who went
over together knocked at the back door
and getting no reply tried it and found
1t locked. They then noticed that the
front door was not shut tight and after
knocking again opened it and looking
in saw the body of Mrs. Marshall
through the door of her bedroom, lying
on the floor. The boys then went and
informed Mrs. Flanagan who went
over and found that the woman was
dead and then sent word to another
neighbor, E. j. Payne, who sent for
DR.. Knapp and the proper officers
Efforts to get word to Mr.. Marshall
were made at once but he was not found
in time to get him here before late al
night.
A jury was impanelled by Justice Nc
Caughna, Coroner Monroe being absent
from the city, and the body was left in
charge of Knapp G. Smith, under
takers. There were no marks to indi
cate that the death was the result o.
anything but natural causes, heart dis
ease probably being the cause. Tht
condition of the body, the finding
of Wednesdays ss-American un
touched upon the front porch, and th'
fact that Mrs. Marshall had not beer
seen since early Tuesday evening lead.
to the supposition that her death oc
cured that evening before she retireC
for the night The coroner's jury hell
its inquest this morning but decided
that there was no occasion for having
post mortem examination made and de
cided that the deceased came to he
death from natural causes.

School Savings Bank Deposits.

The pupils of the city schools deposited
S93.6 more to their credit In the school saw
ings bank Monday. President Keeler, of
the Citizens Savings Bank, who did more
than anyone else to get the system in opera
tion, as we'll as the school board and superin-
tendent who gave their most willing as
sistance, are to be congratulated on the
success of the undertaking. Already the
lesson of thrift which large number of the
pupils have learned Is sufficient to more
than repay all cost of establishing the system
and in many cases may even be more vau-
able to the pupils than any other single
thing which they may learn in the entire
school year

Women's Club Concert

The concert to be given by the Women's
Club in the Congregational church next
Tuesday evening will contain numbers by
Miss Mable Ferry, now of Detroit, formerly
of this city, by Mrs. T. J. Wilcox, of Bos-
ton, and by Mrs. E. G. Van Ness. Miss Ivah
Peterson, Miss Frances Jones, Miss Kanagy,
a1d the Ferry Quartette. 1t is needless to
tell Owosso people that the list Of talent on
that program is good. This is the last of
the series of concerts given by the Women's
Club and 1t surely deserves to be well
patronlzed. The first two concerts were
given under quite heavy expense and some
of the finest singers and musicians of the
entire country appeared before and delight
ed the Owosso audiences which heard them.
1t may be doubted however whether the
pleasure derived from either of the other
concerts was any greater than the pleasure
which the audience of next Tuesday even
ing will obtain from the program which
will be given then.

City Assessments.

City Assessor LayerOck is very busy these
these days getting the assessment roll in
shape for the meeting Of the board of re-
view on the 20.h. He has finished the work
on real estate and finds that while there
have been some changes made in the valua-
tion of property still the total will be practi-
cally the same as last year. From the state
ments already made he is inclined to the
opinion that the same will be true of the
personal assessments. Mr.. Laverock has
devoted'a large amount of time to the work
this year and will have the rolls In better
shape than they have been for q number of
years, the descriptions being more accurate
and some property which has escaped taxa
tion will be found on the roll.

Owosso friends OF Jay b. WOodin will be
pleased to hear that he has been offered a
fine position at the Buffalo Pan-American
during the continuance of the fair. He
will be in charge of the exhibit of a
prominent Detroit firm. The position is a
decided compliment to Mr.. Woodin's ability
and shows the regard in which he is held
by those with whom he Is associated in his
work as clerk of committee In Lansing.
From the first he made friends of the men,

City Telephone Contract.

The aldermen of the city who voted to
give the contract for the city phones
to the Owosso Telephone Company need
have little fear of the criticism to which
they may be subjected because they gave
the contract at fair price to a strictly
Owosso company, even though the monopoly
company offered to give their service, such
as 1t is, to the city gratis. The Owosso
Telephone Company is doing business
entirely with Owosso capital and is con-
stantly extending and improving Its service.
The interests of the stockholders are the in
terests Of the city at large and what benefits
one benefits the other. Besides when a
company Is anxious to give away something
there is a suspicion that all Is not as II
should be anyway. There should be no
criticism of the council in this matter and
there will De none Of any Importance. THE
TIMES, however, is not prepared to say
that phones should be placed In the resi-.
dences Of city officials at the expense of the
city, but II they are to go In the contract
] should be given 10 the home company.

What Flowers Say.

And we in our busy waiting
Pause reverent each year to pay
The small but soulful tribute
or grateful love, and pray
That the dear All Father may bless you
With fuller, richer life
Than that so freely proffered
In the aid OF a noble strife
Once more, brave hearts, we thank you
For this grand free land OF ours;
Once more we whisper God bless you"
And leave our love with our flowers
Not richer the tints of the red rose
Than the blood they so lavishly gave,
Not purer the lilies white petals
Then the cause they persisted to save
And the unfading green Of the myrtle
Tells forth to the seeking eye
That memory is true to the dear ones
Who now on their long furloughs lie.
Wondrous truths and manifold as wondrous
God hath written in those stars above,
But not less in the bright fiowerets under US
Stands the revelation of His love.
The red for the valorous blood you lost,
Who galantly played your parts;
The white for the purity OF your cause
And blue for your loyal hearts.

The Graduating Class,

Something was said by well known
poet years ago about the best laid plans
o mice ana men, but with due regard
for any improbable possibilities, there
are thirtyone students in the Owosso
high school who will receive their
diplomas of graduation next month.
The class, while not the largest which
has ever been graduated from the
Owosso schools, lacks but q few of
being equal to the largest and shows
that the high school is keeping its hold
on the pupils well.
Especially is this true when it is taken
into consideration that the work of the
last two years has been carried on
under circumstances which would have
made the work of any high school most
discouraging, and circumstances which
would have tended to induce pupils to
leave school when they might have
stayed and completed their courses if
circumstances were different. Now
that the school is again under its own
roof these difficulties will disappear and
the graduating classes will probably
increase again as they should.
| The scientific course seems to be the
most popular with the present class,
fifteen of its members taking it while
nine took the Latin course and eight
the English course. One OF these how
ever took both tho scientific and English
courses The names of the prospective
graduates arranged according to the
courses from which they expect to
graduate, are as follows:
Latin Course-Grace Bartrem, Lena
A. Clark, Leo Crum, Alvin Farnsworth,
Irving Goodwin, Maud Miner, James
Rigley, Addie Royce, May Smith.
Scientific and English-Clifton G.

Max ing Brick Again,

Frieseke Brothers started up their brick
yard Tuesday with as large force of men
as they could secure. They would have put
more men at work If they had been able to
ind them. The firm has but a small
amount of brick on hand and begins the
season with every prospect for fine years
business. The men began cutting the sod
and digging the clay between the present
pit and Shlawassee street Tuesday. The
firm owns all of the land between the part
which has been already dug out and Sbia-
wassee street, and between the property of
the Owosso Gas Co. and Stewart street on
the south, supply of clay sufficient to keep
the yards running for several years. The
product Of these yards is well known all
over the state and In fact has reputation
fully equal to that Of some brick which Is
sod at much more fancy prices.

1t VIII be Alderman Herman j. Cute

1t VIII be Alderman Herman j. Cute.
In placing Mr.. Herman j. Cute in
nomination for alderman in the fourth
ward, the republicans have selected a
wide awake and energetic young busi-
ness man whose interests and money
are intimately connected with the city
of Owosso and its welfare By the
amount of money which he has invested
in the improvement of the sanitarium
and the building up of its business he
has shown confidence in the future of
Owosso which it would be good thing
for the city to have little more widely
initiated on the part of some citizens
who have shown tendency to seek in
vestments elsewhere when there are
abundant opportunities in their own
city. Mr.. Cute is popular young man
who deserves the success which he is
attaining in the management of the
business which he has built up. He
also deserves election at the hands of
the voters of the fourth ward and will
undoubtedly receive it.

Maccabee Membership Growing

Wilson tent failed to corral all OF the
candidates whom 1t had expected to be on
hand for its Monday evening session so that
the number to be initiated fell quite ways
short of the number which had been ex-
pected. Previous engagements, discovered
late Ia the day, or too vivid accounts Of the
experiences which an initiation might en-
tail, kept the number down to three. The
evening was thourghIy enjoyed by all
present however and the tent has an abun.
dance of work in sight. Fifteen new appli-
cations were received and the banquet and
speaking features were not omitted. The
contest between the two sides into which
the tent is divided for the purpose of secur-
ing new members still goes on.

this firm commenced to buy last years crop
up to this week they had shipped over
thirty car leads, averaging about $50 bush
els, for which they paid On average price of
SLIGO per hushel. This may be counted q
good years business. Mr.. w. E. Hall is OF
the opinion that prices will not be as high

will pay as well or better than any other

Company II is now stirring up the ques-
tion of having rifle range. A few weeks
practice at the range, If 4 sufficient quantity
OF ammunition can also be secured, would
make big difference in the comparative

camp. AT the same time, with the new
rifles and the high power smokeless cart
ridges which they use, the care necessary
to be exercised in the selection of range
and in the practice on 1t will be materially
increased.

received last September. On the even
ing of September %, 1900, while re-

GENTLY to go about some. He refused

caused by admonitions that he had
given from the pulpit in regard to
worldliness of some of the members.
On his deathbed Mr.. Hipes gave the
names of his assailants and made
known the whole affair. Sensational
developments are promised by those
