home in Otisco, Mich, February ,,
1902, age 81 years, months and 4
days. She was united in marriage to
Joseph Cobb There were born to
them five children, three BOYS and
two girls, one of whom died in infan-

Sixties and resided on the farm at

years and from thence they moved TO
Otisco where they had lived about
twenty-four years. In her Younger
days she united with the Methodist
church, but in the later years she has
not had the privilege of attending de-
vine services as much as she desired.
Her nature was quiet and retiring but
her life was exemplary. She was
loving wife fond mother and a true
friend. Her health has been poor for
the last few years but her last sick
ness was but a few days.
Her trials are over and her work is I
ended. In peace we lay her away to

Mr.. CIute All Right.

The Ionia Standard-Express is at.
tempting to belittle Prosecuting At.
torney Clute's efforts to assist the
board of supervisors in squelching the
tramp industry In Ionia city. Were
t not for the absurdity of their posi-
tion their remarks would not be worth
a passing notice.
The prosecutor contends that the
city should do as other towns in Ionia
county do, take care OF its own police
court expenses as the charter pro-
vides, and who weuld.pretend to saw.
with such a system in vogue, that the
Taxpayers of the city would long toll
crate the state of affairs and heavy
expense the county has so long been
up against? If the conditions are as
startling as the democratic organs
say, the question would appear to be
up to the city to turn in and do some
thing for its people.
Prosecuting Attorney Clute's posi-
tion is that as the charter and ordin-
ances of the city of Ionia cover all
cases necessary to make arrests for
on these petty charges, and as it
makes it the duty of and pays its
marshal and nightwatches a salary
for enforcing the same, that they
should do their duty as the charter
a nd ordi uapcaS prascri l,a
Mr.. Clute says that the police Off
GERS of Ionia have refused to make
arrests or prosecute these cases un-
der the charter and ordinances. If
such be the case, serious results may
follow from their refusal to suppress
disorder, and the mayor, who has all
the powers of sheriff in the city,
should see that they wake up and do
their duty.-Ionia Sentinel.

The CRIDLEY CLUB.
IL Continues To Grow in Favor and
Popularity-Last Meeting
the Largest Yet

The Gridley Club of Ionia county is
fast becoming famous organization,
known not only throughout the con-
fines of the state but even beyond.
Last Friday evening was held the
forth animal banquet at the Macca-
bee hall in Ionia, the largest inside
the county, and yet it proved too
small to accommodate all who desired
seats at the tables. Places
were prepared for four hundred and
fifty but the five hundred mark was
passed in point of attendance. 1t
was a success beyond the hopes of
even the most sanguine And not
only was ii success in attendance
but in every particular as well. The
Gridley Club banquets are held first
OF all the numerous func tions of this
character throughout the state, each
year, and have consequently acquired
considerable Importance in the eyes
of the rest of the state, in sentiments
that may be voiced there and spirit
shown. The meeting of Friday even
ing certainly demonstrated that the
republicans of this county are full of
vim and ginger and will be in line to
perform their full duty during the
coming campaign.
The banquet hall presented a cheer
tul scene. with flags and bunting in
profusion, also pictures of many
prominent members of the party
adorning the walls. Landlord Etson
OF the Dexter acted as caterer and
served fine spread which was quick
Iy disposed of as each was anxious for
the speeches to begin.
In the absence of President Horri-
gan, Senator Nichols occupied the
place and warmly welcomed the as
5embled hosts. He concluded bv in
Producing the toastmaster of the
evening, Judge Davis. who proceeded
to make an address, pleasing, witty
and yet with plenty of solid stuff. 1t
vas declared all right by his hearers.

election of officers was held, resulting {

The Weather.

just now we are experiencing some
queer weather for July. All day Tues
day and Tuesday night the wind blew
very hard and at times resembled a small
hurricane. The wind was followed
Wednesday morning about 3 O'Clock by
a copious downpour, ending in a snow
storm that began an hour afterward but
continued only for a short space of time,
with the mercury lowering about the
freezing point. Yesterday we were roy
ally treated at intervals to hail storms
and more rain. Lust night 1t again rain
ed for several hours. The tops If the
mountains surrounding town are Gov
cred with the beautiful" The weather
is very cool and fires are a necessity.
This weather being something OF a sur
prise, no doubt is acceptable 10 one way
and that is in laying the dust and cool
ing the atmosphere and if tomorrow
morning would open up bright and
balmy it would insure a good day for
the glorious Fourth. Our oldest resi-
dents assert that they have never wit.
messed no such weather before for July.

A Pretty Specimen.

We have n pretty specimen OF ore at
this office which was extracted from the
Liberty mine at Jersey District. The
ore run 125 Dances in silver, Sl2 in gold
and % per cent. lead. The property is
owned by Charles S. Hull of Boston and
George and Dave Abel. Very little work
has been done on the property. A shaft
has been sunk on the mine and is only
down 81 feet, when considerable water
was encountered and operations sus
pended for the present. The owners
feel highly elated over their property
and it is SAID that they intend to begin
operations on an extensive scale in the
near future.

They have done this both by their gifts

everybody. young and old, and all should
make it a point to be on the ground
early with a determination to stay to
the end.
The fireworks in the evening will be
worth witnessing, as there will be a
grand display Of the latest productions
in this line. The exhibition will prob
ably last an hour and during that time
the sky will be ablaze with the dazzling

Concerning Trib.
A Statement From the ProprietOrs.

We coined the word, Trib, our trade
mark, which appears upon the label
OF each bottle OF our liniment.
Our product is a combination of vari-
Gus substances, some of which are
common drugs. We do not further
state the sources, or methods of OBJ
tanning and preparing, the ingredients.
A portion of the combination is to be
kept secret at present. We say this
for the benefit of inquirers. Trib has
already been used successfully in more
thar ten Thousand eases in Nevada.
No injury has occurred in any case.
We offer our record. Those who use
Trib (including some physicians of the
best standing) are satisfied.
We do not recommend Trib to be
taken inwardly. Though it contains
no narcotics; we offer it for outward
use only. 1t may be used for sprains,
bruises, stiffness OF muscles, and SINH
lar ailments, and for relief in some
cases OF rheumatism.
For chilblains, chafngs and blist
ers; and for the relief Of hives.
For frost-bite, and for burns and
scalds where the exposed surface is
rot so great MS to make the use of a
liniment dangerous.
For insect bites and stings, for thorn
wounds, and for sores.
Many cyclers, some athletes and
some pugilists have used Trib NC
cessfully.
Those who know best do not "bathe'
in it, even when using it as n rub
down-they just rub II little into the
skin-rub till dry-perfectly dry-and
leave it SO.
Trib is sold by druggists, II we send
two ounces for 25c, six for soc, or a
pint Q6-oz.) for a dollar.
We shall be pleased to answer al
further questions asked in good faith

Brakeman Injured.

Brakeman A. H. Perkins was acct
dentally hurt in the yard at this place
last Saturday afternoon, but we do not
know whether be sustained serious in
juries or not. As his train was pulling
out he attempted to board the caboose
but missed his hold and was thrown to
the ground, rolling over several times
fortunately escaping the wheels. No
bones were broken but he was badly
bruised about the body. He went out
with his train to Carlin. He was taken
through to the railroad hospital at San
Francisco that night.
