SummeryiIle School.
From Jeffersonian Democrat.

From Jeffersonian Democrat.
The pie social held at Summerville
school house March 18th was a great
success, there being $19.10 realized out
of the evenings entertainment The
social was under the auspices of the
Summerville School Improvement So
ciety. 1t may be necessary to explain
the nature and object of this society,
in order that the public may under
stand what is being done by it. In
January Prof Peterson organized what
was named the Summerville School
Improvement Society. the object of
which was to improve the appearance
of the rooms, to replenish the library,
to improve the pupils in literary way,
and to improve the school in general.
The society holds weekly meetings.
One week is devoted to literary work
and the next to business entirely. The
first Improvement made was to buy
curtains for the school rooms. The
earnings of the 18th are to be devoted
entirely to books for the library. 1t is
not intended the work shall stop here,
but that the improvement of the school
shall go steadily on until it attains the
times and the needs of the town re-
quire. The boys and girls show great
earnestness and business ability, and
it only demonstrates what they can do
when rightly guided and made to feel
that they have responsibilities resting
upon them. The work of the boys and
girls shows they are interested and de-
lighted in making themselves useful,
and that they are in sympathy with
the principal. We hope the citizens of
Summerville will give Prof, Peterson
their hearty support and sympathy in
his efforts, for his work shows he is in
earnestness in trying to build up the
school. They cannot do better than
fellow the lead of the man who is in
the place and able to do the work need
ed, fhe gets the right kind of support
Prof. Peterson is very ambitious TO
have a higher course adopted and
high school established, and we feel
that in this he deserves the earnest
support of all the patrons. 1t may make
few dollars more tax, but what does
that signify when compared to two or
three years high school work added to
every boy and girls education?

Beauty And Strength

Are desirable. You are strong and
vigorous, when your blood is pure. Many
nay most--women, fail to properly
digest their food, and so become pale,
sallow, thin and weak, while the bright
ness, freshness and beauty Of the skin
and complexion, depart. Remedy this
unpleasant evil, by eating nourishing
food, and taking a small dose Of Herbine
after each meal, to digest what you have
eaten. SOC at i. Taggart's.

FOR VENEZUELAN WATERS.
Rear-AdmiraI HigGinson, With the
kearsarge and other Vessels,
Going to venezuela.

Washington, Jan. lit is proDdA
BILE that Rear-Admiral Higginson,
with his flagship Kearsarge, and sew
eral other vessels of the North At
lantic squadron, will shortly repair
to Venezuelan waters, making his
headquarters at La Guayra. The ships
which Admiral Higginson will take
with him on this cruise will have an
unusually large complement of ma
rines aboard. These precautions are
taken, not with any offensive intent
towards Venezuela, but merely to
guard against an outbreak of an
archy and rioting in the event that
the revolutionists should prevail over
Castro's forces in the field. Owing
to Admiral Higginson's high rank he
naturally would command any joint
operations that might be incident to
the landing of naval forces of vari-
Gus nationalities.

IT CREATED A SENSATION.
Lexington 1xy3 Daughters of the
COnfederacy Object to Uncle
Toms Cabin Shows.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 11.-Lexington
chapter United Daughters of the
Confederaey have sent written petit
ton to Charles B. Scott, manager of
the Lexington opera house, asking
that the play ''Uncle Toms Cabin
never be played again at the opera
here. They give reasons that the best
citizens and old families living in. and
about Lexington were once slave own
ers as heritage not of their own
choosing; that the incidents of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin" are not typical of
slave life in the south, but of isolated
cases; that the production, the play
and its being advertised with blood
hounds and pictures of an old negro
in chains and slave owner with whip
in hand, give false idea of the dis
tory of the times to the children of
the city, and its disrespect to the
southern gentleman and good citi-
zens and their families in this part
of the country.
The petition Is signed by four of
the most prominent women of the
chapter and indorsed unanimously
by the members. 1t has created a

Fifty Dollars Reward Offered.

During the past few weeks various
depredationS have been committed on
school property. Several large window
lights have been broken in the church
building, obscene carvings have been
made on the entry TO the west side
high school building and on the fence
about the school yard, a portion of the
bell on the Howe high school building
has been removed. These depreda-
tionS have been committed in the
evening and indicate a growing spirit
of vandalism In view of these facts
it was decided at the meeting OF the
school board, last Monday evening, to
offer reward of $50 90 for informant tiOn
that will lead To the conviction OF
persons who have or may hereafter
destroy any property owned or leased
by the Board of Education of the
City OF Grand Rapids.

TREATED LIKE A DOC
DAN 7. HORIZONS CRUEL TREATMENT
While at National Home for Disable Volunteer
Soldiers in MIlWaukee-Made his
Escape Last Week.

Dan. I. Horton returned last week
from Milwaukee where he went
October II to receive medical treat
ment at the National Home for
Disab bled Volunteer Soldiers. Instead
OF being cared for and receiving The
necessary aid, he states that he was
ill-treated in the most inhuman man-
ner by the attendants at the Home.
In fact, after only TWO weeks stay
he made his escape from the Home
aud with the little money be had left
succeeded in reaching his friends in
this city.
Mr.. Horton tells his story in part as
follows: Il was treated worse than a
dog. No negro slave in the DAYS
before the civil war could have been
more ill-treated They cursed and
SWOre at me as if had been the low
est kind OF a criminal instead of an
American soldier. When | remOn-
strated they would rip and tare about
in manner that certainly was not
beneficial to my poor health. Finally
one afternoon when | had threatened
TO make public their abuse and i'll
treatment. they locked NE into the
crazy house. Here | had to remain
four dreary hours. a doctor by chance
found me and let me out. | told him
the story of the attendants abuse,
but he merely grunted and shrugged
his shoulders. [ then made up my
mind that the doctor we'll knew about
the dirty work that was being prac-
ticed at that institution, and that |
could only secure relief by making my
escape. This | succeeded in doing a
few days later. My clothing, papers
and other belongings are yet at the
Milwaukee Home. Nearly all the
other inmates were abused like dogs
and it appears strange to me how they
can endure it,"
Mr.. Horton is we'll known in this
city, having lived here over twenty
years. He served through the civil
war as member of company A, First
Pennsylvania Cavalry. He is so years
of age and quite feeble. He had
planned during the summer to go to
the Milwaukee Home to see If he
could not better his health, but from
his present appearance he seems much
worse than when he went last month.
Mr.. Horizons charges should be
thoroughly investigated.
Inmates of the public institutions
in various states often relate stories
of cruel and inhuman treatment aud
the public is always ready to SYM
pathize with the victims and punish
The cUlprits. If any of our state
institutions were run in the manner
described by Mr.. Horton the offenders
would be Immediately tried aud sent
10 Waupun. No punishment is severe
enough for these human incarnations
Of Satan.

Thanksgiving is Proclaimed.

President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation designating Thursday,
Nov. 9th, as day of Thanksgiving.
1t is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the President
at this season to appoint a day of
festival and thanksgiving to God.
Over century and quarter has
passed since this country took it's place
among the nations of the earth, and
during that time we have had on the
whole more to be thankful for than
has fallen to the lot OF any other
people.
Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear it's peculiar
burdens, each to face its special crisis.
and each has known years Of grim
trial when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drOuth or flood or peSlilence,
when in bodily distress and anguish of
soul it paid the penalty of frOward
heart. Nevertheless, decade, by de-
cade, we have struggled onward and
upward; we now abundantly enjoy
| material well-being and under the
favor Of the Most High we are striving
earnestly 10 achieve mortal and spirit
ual uplifting. The year thai has just
closed has been one of peace and over
| flowing plenty. Rarely has any people
enjoyed greater prosperity than we
are now enjoying. For this We render
hearty aud solemn thanks to the
Giver of Good; and we seek TO please
Him, not by words only, but by deeds,
| by the way in which we do our dutV
to ourselves and to our fellow men
Now, therefore. |, Theodore Roose-
| velt, President of the United States,
dc hereby designate as d day of thanks
giving, Thursday, the twenty seventh
day of the coming November, and do
recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their ordinary
occupations and IN their SeveIal houses
and places of worship render thanks
unto Almighty God for the manifold
| blessings Of the past YEAR
