Another Catholic Dynasty.

There is another Catholic dynasty ci

included in the field OF search for a
bride, probably for the reason that the
only available female has reached the
ripe age OF thirty-nine years. one year

satia. The first authentic Count of Haps-
burg, (the latter meaning castle OF the
hawks), a descendant of this Ever
ard. appears in history as far back as
1920.
The Wittelsbachers vie with the Haps-
burgers in point of ancestry, the founder
of the dynasty having been Margrave
Luitpold of Bavaria who died in 907.
His son, Arnulf the Bad, attempted TO
wrest the imperial German crown from
the Carolingians, but he did not sue
coed. There were but two German en-
perors from the house of Wittelsbach,
Ludwig. the Bavarian G314-46). and
Charles VII, G742-45). The Hapsburgers,
on the other hand have furnished most

Hot Game of Ball.

A warm game of base ball was play
ed between a picked nine from the
Ada fans and the Cannonsburg team
The game was played on the Fingle-
ton farm, about midway between the
two villages, in the presence of about
1000 spectators. The game was play
ed for the purpose of settling a long
disputed question as to which village
possessed the strongest baseball team
and also the question of which had
the right to carry away 800, put up
as bet between the managements of
the teams.
T.. e Lessiter of Grattan was the
unanimous choice for umpire and
there was no kicking on his decisions.
The game resulted in shut-out for
the Cannonites, while the Ada team
scored nine runs. Holmes and Lock-
wood were the Ada battery and the
name of the Cannon battery is sup
pressed by request.

Uncle Tom Coming.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" was given to
the public at time when all civilized
humanity were hesitating between
their prejudices and their established
modes Of thought and the growing con.
viction felt in their innermost heart
that slavery was all wrong. One re-
suit was the testimony of many colored
persons and fugitive slaves who said To
Mrs. Stowe, since that book has come
out everybody is good TO us. - 1--WE find
friends every where. Its wonderful
how kind every body is -
In England many demonstrations
were made by anti-slavcry societies,
and many addresses were presented
the author, and even when the civil
war was initiated the workingmen Of
England did not lend themselves to
any popular movement which would go
TO crush the oppressed In America, al
though this war brought hardship TO
their very door.
Among the noble ladies OF England
the book had many fervent admirers.
1t is significant fact that the Queen
OF England, in concurrence with Prince
Albert, steadily resisted every attempt
TO enlist the warlike power OF England
against the Northern States. In fact,
the appearance ~ this work developed
the latent sentiment against slavery,
and was potent factor In enlisting
men Ia the ranks OF those actively en-
gagged in suppressing 1t.

A Step Higher.

Mrs. Luella K. Webster of this city
has been elected superior chief of
ceremonies by the superior lodge De-
gree of Honor, which has been in ses-
sion at Portland, Oregon. Last year
she was elected superior usher, and
this is step higher, there being now
only one more Office to pass before
she reaches the top, and becomes the
head of the order in the United
States. AS it is the practice of the
order to advance the officers in this
fashion, she is, barring accidents,
practically sure of reaching the same
two years hence. Belding is proud
of this recognition.

WILLIAMS SERIOUSLY HURT.
There is Said To be "a Suspicion That
IL Was Foul Play.

The Grand Rapids Herald of We'd
nesday contained the following dis
patch from Newaygo:
Walter A. Williams. a prominent
lumber manufac turer of Shaws, Beav-
er township, this county, was prob
ably fatally hurt in his horse stable.
1t was at first supposed by his drying
horse as he was found lying behind
the animal in its stall, but now it is
believed by some that Williams met
with foul play. Williams, who oper-
ates a mill at Shaws, discharged a
man from his employ recently and as
he was of a vindictive nature it is
feared he attempted revenge not un-
like the Tibbetts murder case in OF
tawa county. When Williams regain
ed consciousness he asserted that the
horse did not kick him. Williams runs
a large farm in Ensley, Newaygo
county, and was formerly in business
in Grand Rapids.
Mr.. Williams was at one time
resident of these parts and is quite
well known to many people in this
vicinity who are surprised and shock
ed at this news. His wife is a sister
of Mrs. w. r Menkee, and their son
Dan Williams, had just arrived here
for visit when he received a dis
patch announcing his fathers injury
and compelling his immediate return
home

Miss Carolyn Kennedy closed very

an excellent program rendered by her
pupils to a large and interested audi
ence. At the close of the program
Miss Kennedy in a pleasing manner

If there is happy man on earth
this time of the year, that man is the
farmer. He gets out at in the morn
ing, builds the fires, milks the cows,
feeds the horses, repairs some ma
chinery, splits some wood, eats his
breakfast, harnesses the horses, plows
till noon, eats his dinner, reads let
ter from his boy at college who wants
80 to join Greek society, sl5 for a
pin and s. for incidentials. Then the
happy farmer resumes plowing. plows
till six, eats supper, plows another
hour, unharnesses and feeds the
horses, milks again, and then writes
to that boy enclosing the $50 and re-
tires as happy as clam.

Mothers. BE More Careful.

What might have been a serious ac-
cident was averted by the GOODNESS
and prompt action of Ed. Whitford
Monday afternoon. A mother left
her baby in its carriage on the side
walk in front of Wilson q F'riedly's
a moment while she stepped inside on
an errand. The wind started the
the carriage and it rolled off the walk,
tiping over in front of a rig hitched
there. The horse tried hard to break
loose and if he had succeeded it is very
probable the baby and carriage would
have been run over and the former
killed. Whitford quieted the horse
and rescued the baby and cab from
their perilous position, passing the
babe to the arms of its now thorough
ly distressed mother. Ed. was too con-
fused TO learn her name. This is by
no means the first time accidents of a
similar character have taken place
only that perpaps the horse feature
has been lacking. 1t would be well
for mothers to be a little more care
ful or we may have very serious ac-
cident to chronicle one of these days.

CHANGED THE NAME.
Now It's Knights and Ladies of the
Modern Maccabees-Maj.B Boyn-
ton I'm Control and Expan-
sion Wins the Day.

sion wins the Day.
A Boynton avalanche struck the
state convention of Maccabees and
when the officers of the order were
chosen, both in the X O. T. M.
and the l.. o T. M. the majors
slate had full sway.
There was but one exception to the
rule, and this was the reelection of
Thomas Watson as great recordkeep-
er of the order, but he managed to
pull through, defeating A. NJ. Slay
of Battle Greek by small majority.
AS result of Boynton's victorious
fight for expansion, the names of the
Michigan Maccabee organizations
have been changed to Knights of the
Modern Maccabees and Ladies of the
Modern Maccabees.
The Ionia county Maccabees came
home Saturday from Marquette, and
though it didn't go their way to any
extent, they are well pleased with
the trip and pronounce it a great
convention of great order.
Great Lieutenant Commander Fred
Cutler jr., who. with the rest of the
anti-expansionists was swamped by
the Boynton tidal wave, came home
smiling just as though nothing had
happened to him.
Asked what there is in the talk
about revolt, Mr.. Cutler said simply
that he had heard great deal of it
coming home, but hardly expected it
would materialize into anything tan
gible. He said that many of the anti
expansion delegates, after the expan-
sion proposition carried by so pro
nounced majority, were willing to
take their medicine gracefully even
though it did have a bitter taste.
But when the plan carried with it, as
they afterwards saw, every change
regarding the result of expansion
which had been forcibly denied by
the Boyntonites in the campaign,
they all felt very sore.
For instance said Mr.. Cutler, the
all through the prelim-
mary contest denied that it would be
necessary to change the name of the
order, but within an hour after they
found they had control and had voted
to expand, with a hrrrah,. they also
voted to change the name to "The
Knights of the Modern Maccabees."
This requires calling in of all the
old badges and the issuing of new,
the reprinting of all printed matter,
etc, entailing an extra expense of
many thousands of dollars.
The salaries too, we're boosted all
along the line, in some instances
more than doubled, and what
the outcome of all this radicalism will |
be is hard to tell as the present time.
After the delegates have taken a
sober second thought and are away
from the inspiration of the conven-
tion they will be better able to Judge |
of their hasty work | still believe |
the rank and file of Michigan Macca-
bees are against expansion.
As an enthusiastic Maccabee |
worker Mr. Cutler says he will con-
tinue as in the past. Ionia county |
with the exception of Hubbardston
tent, was solid against the Boynton
plans.
f.. A. Murphy will without a doubt, |
be continued by the great commander
in his capacity as a great deputy |
commander, the new order increasing
the work in this department.

MRS. D. E. MILLARD DEAD.
Long and Useful Life of IA Former
Belding Resident Ended-Pneu-
monia Cause of Death.

Beldfng ReSiuent Enued-Pneu-
monia Cause of Death.
From Portland Observer.
Two weeks ago Rev and Mrs. ID. f..
Millard went TO the farm home of her
sister, Mrs. Martha MAYNARD north
of town, for weeks outing.
They had been there but few DAYS
when Mrs. Millard contracted a cold
which rapidly developed into pneu-
monia, and she was soon in such con-
dition that she could not be removed
to her home in this village, and she
died at $50 Sunday morning, having,
far surpassed the span of life which
the Psalm says shall be allotted man.
The remains were brought to Port
Sunday afternoon.
Esther E Andrews was born in
West Bloomfield, N. Y, March 4, 1925
and was consequently II years of age
last March. She came with her par
ents (the late Oliver w. and Amret
Andrews,) to Portland in 1850, the
family settling on the farm north of
town now owned by Mrs. Tillie An
drews. Here, in April, 1854, she was
married to her husband who survives
her. She leaves no children. Two
sisters also survive her. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. O. Westcott (the lattera neice of
Mrs. Millard) made their home with
Mr.. and Mrs Millard and are really
members of the family, and upon
whom the aged couple have depended
very largely for help in their declin-
ing years.
Rev. and Mrs Millard came to Port
land to make their future home in
1888; but before coming here Mr.. Mil
lard, as a clergyman in the Christian
denomination, had filled pulpits at
various places, including Jackson,
Marshall and Belding, and he is ex-
tensively known throughout Michigan
as a preacher and writer and in this
way the deceased had a wide ac-
quaintance; and in the loss of his aged
companion, whose life had been his
for nearlya half century, he will have
the sympathy of all who know them.
Funeral services oyer the remains
of the deceased we're conducted from
the Methodist church al 2:30 O'Clock
and all the resident pas
tors took part. ~
While we know that mere words and
fulsome praises would be distasteful
to her even after death, when the best
things which are ever said of and for
are uttered, we cannot re-
frain from saying that Mrs. Millard
was one of those women whom to know
was to love; one whose thoughts were
for others comforts before her own;
whose kindness came from the pleas
ire of doing and not from duty, and
this was demonstrated as long ago as
the last year of the war, when she was
military agent for the state
20 her husband at Washington and
to the wants of soldiers;
whose best happiness was in seeing
others happy; whose cardinal prin-
;iple was to "do unto others as We
would that others should do unto you;
whose life had been benediction and
whose death was but the flight of
'oul to the God who gave it. This is
,ulogy enough: it is all that can be
said of anyone; and the
rood she did, the ministrations she
performed, the kind words she spoke,
he wounded hearts she bound up will
De remembered in years long to come
,y those who have tasted of her

short of Power.

While discussing the matter of lack
of power to furnish more electric
lights for Lowell residents, it is urged
and we think fairly, that those living
outside of the corporation, not inter-
ested as Taxpayers, should be cut off,
until the villagers are supplied. OF
course, when the outsiders were taken
on, it was supposed that the supply
was ample for all. Now that the mis-
take is discovered, village residents
and taxpayers should certainly take
precedence over those who are not
financially interested However, the
adoption of the meter system may
obviate the necessity of cutting off
anyone. When the waste consequent
upon the fiat rate is stopped, there
may be light enough for all Lowell
Ledger.
This in the end will probably mean
larger dynamos for the Lowell muni-
cipal plant and the need of all their
water power for their own use. I'M
der the present arrangement Lowell
has sold their surplus power, or at
least what they have considered their
surplus to the Citizens Light Co of
this city. This would also go to prove
that there is not power enough in
Flat river for two lighting plants
from one dam.
