SARANAC WILDLY ENTHUSIASTIC.
only Nine Votes Cast Against the
Proposition To Bond
the Town

A stranger visiting Saranac Monday
evening would certainly have thought
that he had got mixed up in his dates
and that a big Fourth of July celebra-
tion was i'm full swing. Anvils were
booming, fireworks were going off,
the drum corps was playing, the
streets we're illuminated with bon
fires, church bells were ringing, the
streets were full of teams and people,
enthusiasm pervaded everything, and
the town had every symptom of a rip
snorting celebration of Uncle Sans
birthday such as only the wide awake
American village can get up. 1t was
all done i'm celebration of the special
election, when the question of bond
ing the village for electric lights was
submitted to the electors of the viii
lage, only nine votes out of 2l5 cast
being against the proposed project,
and such a demonstration has probab-
y not been seen in Saranac for years.
The proposition made TO the village
by julius Henkel, who, ii is reported,
is only acting as representative for
Il f. Ranney i'm the matter, was that
he would take half the stock if citi-
zcns would take the other half and
start a furniture factory, the village
to furnish a site and building.
A committee was appointed and the
necessary stock subscribed within "A
hours The common council then got
in the swim and at a special meeting
decided to purchase the site and
building for the new enterprise by
calling a special election, bonding the
village for electric lights, and then
turning the building over to the new
company upon condition that it
would light the business streets. The
result of this election was as stated
above, and shows that the people
there are almost unite in their de-
sire TO secure the establishment there
of this industry.
We rejoice with our neighbor that
this is true and in their bright pros
poets Hope that spirit will always
prevail, but will have to say frankly
that you will be different from the
majority of towns if il does. Pros
| perity viii bring success TO some and
will cause jealousy and envy to ranklc
i'm the breasts of others Then they
will want to trample under foot every
thing proposed to benefit the town
unles, proposed and backed by them
selves and their friends. We had
just that kind of good spirit and har-
mony here in Belding a few years
ago. Why should it be any different

IN REGARD TO RURAL MAIL BOXES.
Patrons Must select One of Fourteen
styles Named by Government.

Patrons Must select One of Fourteen
styles Named by Government.
March 2Sth the postoilice depart
ment issued an order requiring that
all of the boxes purchased or used on
rural routes must be selected from a
list of II approved by the department
The prices of these II range from 81
to little more than 50, and the
styles are varied The department
went further than this and required
on new routes the boxes should be un-
form, the patrons getting together
and by vote or otherwise deciding ON
a certain kind of box to be used ex-
clusively on the route. This part of
the order has since been repealed but
the department still requires that
choice must be made from the list of
H. The order has created much dis
satisfaction, and complaints are
heard. Congressman Smith, of this
district, agrees that the order is not
just one and expects at the next
session of congress to have it done
away with and a satisfactory law sub
stituted.
Summed up the departments order
is that any box from the list of IL
can be purchased, but none other.
People living along the route are not
compelled to take the service, but
may receive their mail at the post
Office the same as before. Boxes
need not necessarily be purchased of
carriers, though they can supply them
cheaper than the patron can get
them himself, freight and express
considered.

KILLED BY ELECTRIC WIRE.
Scott Fox of Lowell Instantly Killed
Monday.

Scott Fox, an employe OF the Lowell
Electric Light and Power company,
was instantly killed Monday forenoon
while trimming an arc light on one of
the streets. The ground was very
wet from the rains and after Fox had
lowered the lamp in the street TO a
height where he could replace the
carbons he went TO work without tax
ing the precaution to insulate his
feet with block of wood. He re-
ceived the full force of the current
and fell over backward without
sound
A physician was at once summoned
and Fox was worked over for some
time, but life was extinct. Death
was probably instantaneous.
Fox was % years of age, and un-
married His parents live in Grand
Rapids. He had been in the employ
of the Lowell light company for about
two years, and had more or less of a
reputation for carelessness. Had he
exercised usual care that morning he
would probably not have been injured.
This is the third son the Fox family
have lost through accident. The
father, Frank j. Fox, formerly lived
in Vergennes township later moved
to Lowell, where the family resided
for some time, and finally went to
Grand Rapids. While in Vergennes,
one son, boy of some or years,
was drowned, and another Of near the
same age was run over by a gravel
wagon and killed

That Road East From the city.

Thos. Antcliff farmer who lives in
Orleans, just across the river from
the city, nearly opposite the Howe
addition, was in the city the fore part
of the week, and stated that he is
very much in favor of road being
built into the city from his place.
He doesn t think the project of a road
TO follow the river bank as feasible
and would not accommodate farmers
and the travelling public from North
Orleans and the territory east Of
there as one crossing the river at the
site of the old Kelly bridge and run
ming directly into Belding on Harrison
avenue.
Mr.. Antcliff says he will give the
right of way across his property and
furnish all the stone needed for the
east abutment of a bridge at that
point, which is a very liberal offer,
one which ought to be accepted by
the citizens of Belding, and they in
turn do the rest of the work thereby
securing large portion Of the trade
which now goes to Ionia or Greenville.

ENDED IN A WEDDING.
Miss Mary Learned, Formerly OF
Belding WEEDS Blind Dean
GrnN nj Detroit.

Gray at Detroit.
Belding people will most OF them
well remember Miss Mary Learned,
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. A.
Learned who conducted Hotel Brick
er for a year, but returned to Detroit
last fall, and some will also recollect
friend of the family by the name of
Dean S. Gray who visited them here,
and who although a young man was
totally blind, yet had marked ability
along certain lines. Consequently
the following account of their mar
riage as given by the Detroit Journal
of last Thursday WILDE of consider
able interest here:
Love is reputed to be blind, and in
the pretty little romance which was
brought to a close last evening, when
Dean s. Gray was married to Mary
NJ. Learned the old saying had a
double significance.
'Mr Gray is the well known blind
piano tuner and musician who has
won reputation for the possession
of sixth sense. The loss of his eye
sight at the early age of five years
has not kept Mr. Gray's heart from
beating as other mems beat and the
tender passion has found a home in
his breast, from which no misfortune
could evict it.
Dean Gray and Mary Learned have
been friends for years. Few people in
Detroit have appreciated the fact that
the good looking young man who has
so often been seen riding about the
city on a tandem bicycle with a young
lady companion was totally without
the sense of sight and that the young
couple were fostering the divine pas
sion which has bound them together
i'm bonds of close friendship for these
many years. Yet such has been the
case and now the story has ended in
the good old way with marriage and
a family blessing
At the home Of the brides parents,
353 Greenwood avenue, last evening
Mr.. Gray and Miss Learned were mar
ried by the Rev. Samuel S. Marquis,
pastor of St Joseph's Memorial
church. 1t was a quiet affair, only
the families and immediate relatives
being present Miss Learned was
dressed iu a steel gray gown.
"Thcre were no maids of honor,
bridesmaids or best man, and the
young couple, after the ceremony,
departed to their new home at 306
High street west, where they will be-
gin housekeeping at once, without
the usuaI honeymoon trip.
'Mr Gray is graduate of the Mich
igan School for the Blind at Lansing.
His musical inclinations were strong
within him and he soon became an
expert piano tuner, which trade he
has been following in Detroit with
great success for many years.
His blindness has developed a
sense for location which cannot be
explained except by calling it sixth
sense. In this respect his develop
ment is marvellous. He knows the
city like a book, and can even tell
the exact location of certain house
numbers.
"The Journal on June 26 last pub
lished an article on Mr.. Grays pecul-
lar attainmcnts, and sence then he
has received many letters from all
over the United States, asking for
further information on his life, his
ways Of getting about and his sixth
sense"

Manager Cordray will offer the pat.
rons of the Grand the first two complete
dramatic productions ever seen in Salem
next Monday and Tuesday evening when
the Russell Drew Co., will produce the
greatest religious play of modern times
"Quo Vadis." The play depicts the
frightful prosecutions Of the early Chris
tians by the tryant Nero. 1t teaches
one of the best sermons any play ever
produced. This is not like an ordinary
drama but is a mastery production Of a
great play, embellished with superb
scenery, depicting the splendor Of
Nero's court, costumed with all the
magnifcence Of Rome ancient splendor.
The company producing it, is one oi
the strongest that has ever visited the
Pacific Coast, each actor having been
specially engaged for the part he takes
in "Quo Vadis." On Tuesday night
Northern Lights" will be given. This
is a modern play, true page
from American History. The company
also carry every scene used in this
drama. The company producing these
{ two plays is rarely il ever seen in a
city of this size. The magnitude of the
scenic production of each makes their
appearance in the smaller cities inn
possible. They were induced to visit
Salem through the earnest solicitation
OF Magr. Cordray who has guaranteed
their appearance here.

A Case of Highway Robbery With a
Peculiar Ending.
What the hero Of this story kicks
about Is the fact that his wife forgot
her sacred word never to say anything
regarding It. His business keeps him
out late, and he frequently carries con.
siderable money. When footpads are
reported IN evidence, he gets as near
home as he eau by street car and then
takes the best lighted route TO his
house.
One night he had reached the front OF
his own place and had Just drawn a
long sigh OF relief when the order
Glands up| startled him into compli-
ance. One man beld a gun In the i'm
mediate neighborhoOd OF his ear and
another systematically robbed him OF
everything worth carrying on. The or
der then was that he walk around the
block so as to defer the use OF his tele-
phone. and II was clearly stated that
any attempt to turn back, run or call
for help would result In his being
nssasslnated.
Before he reached the corner II
struck him that the voice OF one OF tho
men sounded familiar and then that It's
owner was n near neighbor greatly
given to practical joking. Back he
went on tiptoes, his revolver In his
right hand, and surprised the footpads
as they were dividing the spoils. He
made them lay everything on the walk,
and when they Strengthened up await
ing the next order he discovered that
dropped from sheer terror. and then
the robbers ran one way, while he
sprinted the other. Half an hour later
he, his wife and lantern. a revolver
and the hired girl went out and found
his money, watch, papers and diamond
pin. His wife simply ruined the story
by telling II first.-Detroit Free Press.

A whole feet in the days OF Nelson

more than the cost OF a single ironclad.
The coal expended on a single cruise
would pay for the re1tt1ng OF his whole
