ANOTHER ALMA FIRM THAT IS PROSPERNG
The Present Year Will Supass All Others in the Firms History in
Volume Of Business

In giving short history of our busi-
ness men from week to week, The Rec.
ord has so far selected those who have
been here for number of years and
watched the town grow as the days
heightened in week, the weeks into
months and the months into years.
But it is not our purpose to forget those
who have only been here short time, a
few years at the most, because it is 20
them we owe in q great measure the
increase in our business firms and the
instilling OF new life into mercantile
affairs.
This week we shall give short his.
tory OF the hardware firm OF Thompson&
Sanderhoff, firm who state that their
trade during the past year has exceeded
all their expectations.
In June, 1898, partnership was
formed between O. 9. Thompson, a
travelling salesman well known in this
county, and Otto Sanderhoff, gentle
man who had been engaged in other
lines OF business here for several years,
ana leasing the store built by J. +.
schwartz, as part of the Church block,
anew STOCK OF hardware was installed in
the place. A complete line of agricul.
turai implements in addition to the
hardware stock was also sold. Mr.. San.
derhof had considerable previous exper.
ience In the hardware business in
Owosso and upon him depended in a
great part the success Of the firm. Stoves
were his speciality and he was enabled
byhis experience to select only the makes
that gave the best of satisfaction
The following year they purchased |
from W. s. Turck g. Co., the store
where they were located and business
still continued to increase. In Febru-
airy, 1902, Mr.. o. o. Thompson decided
10 engage in other business and he sold
his interests to q. Ross Thompson. of

ALL NIGHT TELEPHONE SERVICE ESTABLISHED
The Union Company Will Give Its Sub
scribers Continuous Service.

The Union Telephone company have
always pursued the policy of inaugural
ing night service in their exchanges as
soon as the number of subscribers would
warrant it. The Alma exchange has
now 200 subscribers connected with it
and enough signed contracts to easily
bring the number up to 240. They
consequently started night service here
on Thursday, Oct. 10th. This will be APP
preciated by their long list of subscribers,
who will thereby be able to call physi.
clans at night should their services be
required.
The growth of the Union Telephone
company exchange here during the past
three months has been large il shows
that Alma is very fast increasing in
population and in importance as a busi-
ness center and also that the Union Tel.
ephone company, which has its home
here, thrives and grows faster where it
has opposition.

This growth of the Union Telephone
company also shows that the people in
this exchange have become educated in
telephone matters and sufficiently
wise" that they are not satisfied with
small exchange, with a few subscribers,
but they want TO be connected with all
the banks, depots, factories and bust.
ness houses, and in fact with all tele
phone users
The Union Telephone company are
also inaugurating night service in st.
Louis, which has now upwards of 200
subscribers, and they will soon do the
same in Ithaca, where their list is con-
stantly growing.
The number of Union Telephone com.
pany subscribers now actually con-
nected at Alma exchange is more than
three times the number of opposition
phones in all Gratiot county.
The Union Telephone company now
has in Gratiot county upwards of 700

MAD MULLAH DEFEATED.
Gen. Manning Relieves Col. CObbe an d
Kills About 1000 SOmalis-D etaiIs
of Previous Engagement.

Alden, Arabia, April 27.-Brig. Gen.
Manning, after an engagement with
the Mad Mullah's forces has relieved
Col. Cobbe, near Gumburru, Somali-
land, 45 miles westward of Galadi.
About 1000 of the Mullah's men were
killed. The British loss is not known.
The few details obtainable of the
disaster to Col. Plunkett's detachment
April II show the Mullah's forces con-
sisted of 1000 horsemen and 10000
spearmen. They surrounded Col.
Plunkett's force in the open and the
Somalis, after a heavy rife fire,
charged repeatedly, with their horse
men and spearmen, on all sides. The
British detachment held out until its
ammunition was exhausted and then
charged with the bayonet, but it was
ultimately overwhelmed by weight
of numbers. The British force fought
until all it's officers and ITO men were
killed Most of the handful of men
who reached the camp were wound
ed. The Somalis' losses are reported
to have lsaen enormous.
The Mullah's forces are reported to
aggregate from 5000 to 1000 mounted
men and about $4,000 spearmen.

GIVEN TRIAL SPIN.
New Cup Defender, Reliance, Spreads
Her Sails to the Breeze for
First Time.

Bristol, r. T., April 27.-The new cup
defender, the Reliance, was given her
first trial sail Saturday. The weather
was not all that could have been de-
sired, there being only light breeze
from the west, but as the run was
mainly to give her builders a chance
to look over their finished workman
ship, there was wind enough for their
needs and enough to send the craft
down the bay at moderate speed. The
crew of the Reliance were on deckby
sunrise, and with the exception OF half
an hours respite for breakfast they
worked constantly until after nine
o'clock in an effort TO have everything
in the best of shape for the yachts
first spin. The decks had been washed
down, the mainsail uncovered and both
headsails set up in stops before the
men went to breakfast. The sun rose
clear, but before it disappeared under
a dark cloud, so that for a time the
prospects of fair weather were not
particularly favorable, very light
wind came out of the northwest. This
was a La vi dplC sig oo ~ F''S's'
to indicate that before the middle of
the forenoon it would breeze up and
give the yacht chance to show her
speed from Narragansett bay with
started sheets.
The Reliance started at 9:35 o'clock.
The breeze had shifted to the west and
was very light. The yacht swung away
from her moorings under three lower
sails and a working topsail. Designer
Herreshoff was at the wheel. The

GUARDIAN APPOINTED.
Judge Grants Application in Case Of
Moses Fowler Chase Sensa-
tionaI Developments Expected.

Cincinnati, April 27.-Judge Nippert
Saturday appointed George Hoadly as
guardian of the person and estate OF
Moses Fowler Chase. A similar case
for the appointment of his father had
been previously seq for Lafayette
next Monday. The father of Moses
Fowler Chase was represented by
Harris, Hammond and Sims, of IL
diana, and by Probasco, Paxton
and Warrington, of Cincinnati, who
held that suit was already set
for next Monday at Lafayette
seeking a similar purpose. They
showed that all the young mans
property is on the tax dupli
cate in indiana. The other side
showed Moses Fowler's long residence
here with his aunt, Mrs. Duhme, and
that when he appeared in court to
discard his fathers name he swore
he was a resident of this city, and
had not since resided in Indiana.
Applicants denied Moses was insane
when taken to France, but that he
had since become insane while pur-
sued by detectives and others. The
arguments occupied most of the time,
the only witnesses being Mrs. Duhme
and Cincinnati newspaper men who
had been working on the case at
Lafayette. At noon Judge Nippert
granted the application and appoint
ed George Hoadly guardian both of
the person and of the estate. Sensa-

the climbing of Catholic pilgrims to
the Church Of the Immaculate Concep-

up to the church. There are $50 steps,
on each of which those who made the
pilgrimage rendered short prayer.
Beginning early the steps were crowd

made the ascent before evening.

However little credit a horse may
commonly receive for possessing deli

grateful to him. Horse trainers are

their knowledge in training stubborn

Many trainers have favorite perfumes,
the composition of which they keep

this means of appealing to the horses
aethesticism that enables so many
of them to accomplish such wonder
