The Cloven Hoof.

1t is reported from Havana that letters
have been received from II. o. Havemeysr
which urges the Cuban planters, the Havana
merchants of influence and the local press
to demand absolute free trade with the
United States for sugar. The anxiety of
the magnet in the matter is said to be due
to the fact that the sugar trust has acquired
the entire Cuban sugar crop on speculation
and that its expectation will take place
when the duties on the staple have been re-
moved. Chicago Chronicle.
Neither should it be forgotten that the
sugar trust has SIS, 900, OC0 set aside for in
vestment in Cuban sugar property, which
would be vastly benefited by the removal
of the duties on Cuban sugar.-The Beet

Death of Dallas Beswick.

Dallas Beswick, one OF the best
known and best liked young men Of
Owosso. died early Monday morning
at Crystal Falls In the upper PENN
sula, where he had been working in a
bank since leaving this city in Octo-
Der. Neither his parents or any
friends In this city knew that he was
sick and In fact his mother had re-
ceived a letter from him but little
while before written on Christmas day,
in which he said that he was feeling
well and told her not to worry about
him. On Monday the dispatch came
announcing his death but stating
nothing of the cause OF the death.
Later reports indicate that he was
taken with an attack of scarlet fever
which must have affected his heart.
causing failure Of that organ and death
before assistance could be secured
early Monday morning. The body was
brought back to the home Of his par
ents on North Saginaw street in this
city yesterday morning and funeral
services conducted by Rev. G. III.
Hanks were held yesterday afternoon.
The pail bearers were chosen from the
young men associates of the deceased.
The floral tributes were very fine, in
Guiding one piece which was purchased
by the business men Of the city.
Dallas was one of the young men
who had grown up from boyhood to
manhood in this city, attending the
public schools from which he grad
uated but few years ago. and since
that time taking an honorable part in
the business life of the city. He had
worked as collector and assistant
bookkeeper in the Owosso Savings
Bank until the past summer almost
continuously from the time of his
graduation from the high school. In
this work he had come into contact
with practically all OF the business
men Of the city and had made him
self generally liked by his good nature
and obliging ways. Since the middle
OF last October he had been in the
employ of the Iron County Bank, Of
Crystal Falls, in the upper peninsula.
His friends and associates were sorry
at that time to lose him from the city
even temporarily, but as he was al
ways of a sturdy and strong appear
ance they had no fears for his safety
or his health. The news on Monday
was therefore unusually sad and full
OF gloom for his Owosso friends, who
however extend their warmest sympa-
thies to the afflicted family.

The December meeting was held on
Friday the 9th at the pleasant home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. D. Place. There was
very good attendance, only two fami-

Too late for a Factory This Year.

The following letter from Hon. w. r
Burt toll bigger story of disappoint
ment for Owosso than a little. 1t had
been the hope that the beet sugar fac

business men and many farmers alike
to bring about this much desired result.
But there is little use now of wasting
time bewailing the fact that the con

1t is more to the point to rejoice that

whole county, showed the enterprise
that it did and came so near securing

an expenditure for steel and iron ard
other material for its construction.

placed the seal Oh the possponement of
