A GOOD THING
The New Rule at the Belding Opera
House.
w. d. SINCLAIR.

The New Rule Mt the Belding Opera
House.
From Mondays Banner.
A large number of the patrons of
the Opera House attractions have
BEEN disturbed in the past by those
who come in late and while the play
is in progress.
Manager Hetherington has hit on a
new rule to overcome this obstacle.
At the Quincy Adam Sawyer play to-
morrow night, no persons entering
during the progress of an act will be
seated until the act is completed
The curtain rises AT $50 and those
who come in after that time will have
to stand until the act is over.
This rule will be enforced and late
goers will find it to their interest to
be on hand before the curtain rises.

WALL STREET SLUMP
Doesn't Effect Legitimate business
Throughout Country

New York, Oct. 10, '03 Despite the
sensational declines in industrial
stock price, there is nothing in the
situation TO alarm legitimate busi-
ness interests The Wall-st- slump of
the last few weeks is the natural re-
suit of the senseless speculative fever
which has been epidemic for the last
two years. 1t has been foretold by
every financier in America. People
who were throwing their mnoey into
trust securities and blindly trusting
to luck for returns have only them
selves to blame. They went into the
speculation warned and with their
eyes open and they must now swallow
their losses with no one to blame but
themselves and the speculatives sharks
who lured them on.
Meantime honest business is unaf-
fected and secure. There is a p.enty
of corn and wheat and oats and cattle
and hogs, there is plenty of money
to cart them to market and absorb
them when they get there. Farm
land values are secure, real estate in
vestments are safe, men are building
houses and railroads, labor is finding
a ready market, thousands of manu-
featuring plants are producing and
selling and purchasing readily and at
good prices and the business of the
nation proceeds without interruption

Chester T. Slayton of Grattan re-
turned Thursday night from the re-
union of his old regiment, which was
held in Schoolcraft this week. After
getting on the street car at the Lake
Shore dcpot in Grand Rapids, on his
return, he missed his wallet from its
accustomed place in his pants pocket
and thinks it must have been taken
by some pick pocket at the depot,
when the transfer was made.
IT contained about eight or ten dol
lars in cash and some papers of no

LETTER FROM EVEN
Cyclone Did Not Strike Town-W. ID.
sinclair Writes the Banner.

Even, Mich, Oct. II, '03.
Editor Belding BANNER.
Dear Sir:-The report having been
circulated that the little town of
Even had been wiped off the face of
the earth, allow me through the col
umns of your paper to make some cor
rection for the benefit of inqulring
friends. The cyclone which was
claimed destroyed the town passed
about one and one half miles west OF
town, doing no damage whatever to
the place, but considerable in the
path it took, will mention one or two
items to show you the severity of the
wind. A log house was picked up off
its fnnnda tinr ~
distance from where IL stood.
A barn was torn to slivers and scat
tered for miles in it's path, and where
there was timber it was destroyed.
Trees were twisted off two and half
feet in diameter and carrying them
away, leaving nothing but obstruction
in its wake. There was one man
killed in the woods and a number of
narrow escapes, so the report is not
without some foundation.
Respectfully yours,

IT DON'T HURT.
Electric Roads Are Good Things For
Town, City or Villages.

/
Regarding the effect of electric
railroads upon towns similar to Low
ell in population, trade and tuation,
here are some significant facts, for
the truth of which we can vouch,
says Editor Johnson.
Several years ago, such a road was
built from Detroit TO Romeo. The
latter village is about seventeen
miles south of Inlay City, and Almont
is midway between the two. When
it was proposed to extend the road,
certain business men of Almont and
Inlay City were opposed to granting
franchises, claiming that the extern
sion would ruin their towns, as it
would Rochester and Romeo. Now.
after these same men have observed d
for three years the effect of the rail-
road upon those very towns, they have
sent delegations to Detroit to beg the
the company to extend its road to
Almont and Inlay city, offering all
the concessions and inducements in
their power to grant. When we add
that the business men of those towns
are fully up to the average in enter
prise and intelligence, it must be
granted that it makes a strong case
in favor of electric roads, and one
that must be met with something be-
sides fears and doubts.

way to circumvent the local option
law. Club rooms are alleged to have
been established in about thirty places
in the county. One dollar is the mem
bership fee. A little book is claimed
to be issued containg 20 coupons
which he may change for the partic-

system seems to require. In one club
