Death of Vim. Weidman.

William Weidman died at his home
on Cedar street Saturday afternoon.
The funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at the house, Rev. j. P. Var
ner officiating.
Mr. Weidman was a native of Penn.
sylvania but had lived in Owosso since
1865. He was eighty-two years old at
the time of his death His health had
remained remarkably good for so old a
man until last winter when he suffered
a stroke of paralysis from which he
never recovered, and at various times
his death would not have occasioned
surprise at almost any moment.
Mr. Weidman has been for the great
er part of the time since his residence
here prominently connected with the
business interests of the city both in his
real estate interests and in his connec-
tion with the manufacturing of the city.
He was interested in. the old Woodland
furniture factory up to the time of its
loss by fire and was also interested III
the casket factory. During the nearly
forty years that he has been resident
of the city he saw his own affairs pros
per with those of the city, and although
of a careful and saving disposition there
are still those of his tenants living in
the city who can remember his careful
inquiry as to whether their families
were suffering for the money they
brought to him for rent--if they needed
it in other directions. He will not only
be remembered for this but by many
other citizens for his uniformly pleas
ant greeting on the streets.
Mrs. Weidman died some three years
ago. They are survived by three chill
dren, Mesdames d. L. Densmore and L.
E. Woodland, and Frank Weidman, all
of this city.

full work of progress. There are many
things which need correcting in this
land of ours. There are things which
need righting in the political world
there are things that need reform in the
religious world ; there are things which
need righting in the administration of
the courts of the land there are evils
which need correction in the social life
of the people.
There are many questions which are
vital ones for this people and this
government. We of today. the younger
people, must. continue the work which
you pioneers have so well done. We
mustado for the future what you did
for us. We must be the pioneers for
the future. You builded better than
you knew. You should now lay down
the ak and the sickle. We are not
jealous of the laurels which belong to
you. We would say well done brave,
dauntless souls, and wish you MANY
years yet in which to enjoy the fruits
of your toll. But we ourselves would
remember that we have even greater
work before us to make IT'S worthy
successors of you, to show that we

Deserved Promotion.

Fred Stevens, of the American Ex-
press Companys Office in this city, has
been promoted to the company's agency
at Cadillac and has already begun work
in his new position. Mrs. Stevens will
join him there. Mr.. Stevens has been
billing clerk at the Owosso office for the
last fourteen months and during that
time made friends of all with whom he
came in contact. He has been careful,
courteous official, watching out for the
interests of the company and the public
alike and his promotion is well
deserved one. His Owosso friends and
friends in Alpena from which city he
came to Owosso will be pleased to learn
of it and will wish him continued sue
cess in the new position which is one of
the most important on the line of the
Ann Arbor. Mr. Stevens is succeeded

Will Vert becomes the new messenger.

viii Probably Return.

Rev. j. p Warner will probably re-
turn to the First NJ. E. church of this
city for his fourth years pastorate.
There was some time since considerable
talk OF his taking up work along other
lines for the church in Wyoming and the
west and although arrangements did
not seem to be just as Mr.. Warner liked
when the matter was discussed and he
declined to consider the field, there was
one feature of the affair that was more
than satisfactory to him and that was
the spirit in which the Owosso church
looked upon the matter of los ng him.
The board of trustees has given Mr..
Warner a unanimous invitation to re-
turn and it is needless TO say that the
action of the board is more than backed
np by the wishes of the membership at
large in the church. This speaks
Especially well for the harmony pre-
gailing in the church and for the
friendship for Mr. Warner as the
average duration Of the pastorates of
the Methodist ministers. is rather less
than greater than three years. 1t is
probable that the Detroit conference
will act in accordance with the request
of the board next month and return
Mr.. Warner to this city. THE TIMES
will be glad to welcome him back to
the city for his fourth year.

AN oVERWoRKED COURT.

the proposition That something soould
be done to enable that tribunal to
deal more satisfactorily with the bus
mess that is brought to its considerl-
