Notice to the Public,

At a meeting of the school board
of school district No. 5, held May 81,
1902 on account of the lack of school
room, and lack of funds for the en-
suing year, it was ordered that no
pupils from outside the district could
be accommodated next year except
on the payment of tuition. The tut
ton was fixed at $I0 for the school
year, to be paid in advance, half at
the beginning of the school year,
half at the beginning of the second
term after the holidays. Pupils re-
siding outside Of the district will not
be admitted to the schools except on
producing a receipt from the clerk
for the tuition as stated above
This action is taken not from any
uesire to exclude outside pupils from
the schools, but because the school
buildings are overcrowded and there
is not sufficient room to accommo-
uate the pupils belonging in the dis
trict.
By order of the board of trustees.

Chairman.

WALLER WAS NUTTY.
When He Gave Orders to Kill Indis-
criminateIy.


The official findings of the court
martial that tried Major L. w. T.
Waller and Lieut.. John A. Day of the
marine corps for executing natives
on the island of Samar without trial,
have been made public. The review
ing authority of the court, Major
General Adna r. Chaffee, command
er-in-chief of the American forces in
the Philippines, has expressed its
disapproval of the courts findings in
both cases. Referring to the case of
Major Waller, the reviewing author
ity says:
THE sending of the natives in
question to their deaths partoOk
more of unlawful retaliation than a
iustifable act of war. In justice to
the American military service, the
findings of acquittal demand that
they shall not meet with unqualified
approval.
THE marines in Samar underwent
great suffering before their rescue,
and their officers from their sick
beds voiced the revengeful anger of
the men, who telephoned to Maio"
| Waller, advising that the stevedores
be killed. Major Waller received the
message while he was sick from a
fever and suffering acute pain of
body due to exposure and his eXer-
tons in behalf Of his men, and men
tai anguish concerning their fate,
which had long been in doubt. Me-
jor Waller was at the tine in tele-
phonic communication with General
Smith, who commanded the Amerl-
can forces in Samar, but he deliber-
ately chose not to consult General
/ Smith regarding his contemplated
action and rather than foreGo the
execution of his unrestrained will, he
assumed the power of the laws of
war and customs of the service con.
ferred upon commanding officers only
in time of war.
Giving heed to the mental condi-
| ton Of Major Waller as much of the
! findings of the court as are to the
effect that Major Waller is not guilty
of murder are approved. But the re-
viewing authority is at loss to I'M
Gerstand why the court did not find
against Major Waller in the minor
offense. With the exception noted.
the acquittal, as it appears in the
records of the proceedings, is disap-
approved"
Referring to the case of Lieuten-
ant Day, the reviewing authority
says:
"The accused knew that for throa
weeks Major Waller had undergone
test of his mental and physical en-
durance, such as few men are called
upon to suffer While fully conced'
ing the grave responsibility assumed
by a subordinate officer in willfully
disobeying an order from his com
handing officer, still the weighty

reasons related, with which Lieuten-
ant Day was acquainted so tainted
Major Walters order that Lieuten-
ant Day should have been prompted
to positive disobedience. An officer
must be conscientiously regardful of
the unquestioned legality of his
agency in taking the lives of his fell
low men. Above all and beyond all
personal consideration officers must
guard the name and honor of the
country. Had Lieutenant Day been
actuated by such consideration he
would probably have prevented one
of the most regrettable incidents in
the annals of the military service of
the United States"

Mrs. Isabella Travis died at her home
on East Main street in this city Tues
day morning. She had been an invalid
for number of years. The funeral
services were held yesterday at the
home, Rev. G. H. Hanks officiating, and
the body was taken to Pinckney for
burial.
Mrs. Isabella Travis was born in
Londonderry, Ireland, Jan. 81, 1897.
Her parents were Scotch resbyterians,
and impaired to her the strong person
atty, characteristic of that sturdy peo-
pie.
At lineage of eighteen, the deceased
came to America, and in 1853 was
married to Charles B. Travis at Canas-
tota, N. Y. To them were born seven
children, one of whom died in infancy.
In the spring of '65, the family moved
to Petteysville, Livingston Co., Mich.
On Feb. %, 1877, Mr.. Travis died, after
a brief illness. The courage and faith
with which the widowed mother took
up the added burdens, can be appreciat-
ed only by those nearest to her.
In the fall of 1890, on account of the
business interests of the sons, the mother
decided to locate in Owosso, Mich,
where she has since resided
Her infirmities of many years, caused
her to remain closely at home, but the
friends and neighbors who were priv
LEGGED to know her, testify to the in
fuence of her strong and sweet person
atty. 1t could be truly said: Strength
and honor are her clothing; and she
shall rejoice in time to come. She
opened her mouth with wisdom; and in
her tongue is the law of kindness. She
looketh well to the ways of her house
hold, and eateth not the bread of idle
ness Her children arise up and call
her blessed"
Six children survive her, four of
whom live in this city where they are
well known. They are r. Emmett
Travis, Chas F. Travis and Misses
Elizabeth and Vina Travis.

leave for the Philippines next week to
begin two years of service in the islands.

tract as assistant surgeon in the army

also stating that transportation to San
Francisco had been forwarded to him
for use in case he signed the contract.
At San Francisco he will await orders
and may start at any time for the
Philippines. Dr. Wilson has not vet
signed the contract but has fully
decided to do so and merely delays until
he can get his business affairs into such
shape that he can start for the Golden
Gate on receipt of Geographic orders so
to do.
DR.. Wilson has been resident of
Owosso for the last five years coming
~here after a few years practice at
Burton. He is graduate of the Detroit
School of Medicine and stands high with
his brothers in the medical profession in
this city as well as with the public in
general. His friends on every hand are
congratulating him ON the experience
which he will gain and he should return
to the United States after his tour of
duty much richer in professional ex-.
perience. Mrs. Wilson will remain in
the city and will continue her music
classes, going to the home of her mother,
