STRUCK KEY NOTE!
Alderman Smith Wants Water
works and Sewer.
INTRODUCED RESOLUTION FOR IT
Council Favors It-Committee APP
pointed TO Junket and
Investigate.

The key note of public improve
ments was sounded by Alderman Len.
+. Smith of the 1st ward at the coun-
Gil meeting last Friday night, when
he made a speech in favor of a sys-
TEN of waterworks and sewerage for
the city. He followed it up by intro
ducing a resolution which will be
found in the council proceedings in
another column, and the same seemed
to strike popular response in the
breast of every alderman as the reso-
luton was carried without dissent
ing vote. Mayor Bricker. on motion,
appointed a special committee to
make Investigations as to the best
system and plan, composed of three
aldermen and two business men, H. j.
Leonard, t. Frank Ireland, l.. f
Smith, VIM. j. Clarke and f. K Hud-
SON His honor was also added TO the
committee.
More than any other improvement
at the present time and one which
should have preference above all
others is the laying of water mains
and sewer tile in a systematic man.
ner with pure water system and
pumping station adequate Tor the
needs of a growing city. When this
is properly done the foundations for
other permanent public improve
ments is laid on which to build in a
practical and substantial way.
The 643 back yard open vaults,
and the many coating cellars and
Easements in the city call loudly for
such system.
Let the committee act at once in
the matter and give us an opportuni-
ty to get waterworks and sewerage.

Observe Memorial DIV.

To the people of Belding and vicin-
ity: Once more the wheels of time
have brought us near the day set
apart by our nation, dav sacred to
the hearts of all loyal citizens and
doubly so as it brings back memories
of noble deeds and sacrifices a time
when the old as well as Young stepped
forward and offered their lives that
we as nation might live, and by so
doing made it possible for this nations
present prosperity and greatness.
Therefore, we the survivors of that
great struggle would respectfully ask
that the several factories and places
of business in Belding be closed on
the 30th of May, and that all unite
with the G. A. r. Post in appropriate
services by placing flowers on the
graves of those who left friends and
home TO battle for the cause of free
dom This day is becoming more as
the years come and 90 a Natal day
when friends meet TO strew flowers,
not only on the graves of fallen com
rades but some loved one taken from
the home circle.
We would further request that suit
able conyeyances be provided TO take
the comrades to the several Gene
tries, to see that all soldiers graves
are decorated as most of the old com
rades are getting beyond their march
ing days, bnt they still have the same
loyal hearts today that urged them
on to noble deeds and sacrifices from
81 TO SO. Shall we hear from others

The excellent improvements being
made by the Belding Bros. on the
grounds fronting their new factory,
although expensive to them, are in
keeping with their characteristic
public spirit and enterprise and in
harmony with their ideas of beautiful
surroundings. The frontage there
will be fixed up for a park and the
city band stand will be moved across
the street. The city council could
not do finer and more pleasing act
than to order six foot cement side
walk to be built from the terminus of

Inmates of IOnia Insane ASYLUM

KEEPER nEALD KNOCKED DOWN

Burglars Friday Night Got
Away with IA 1000.

Just before 6 O'Clock, last Friday at
the north side branch of the Criminal
Insane asylum in Ionia, a gang OF the
insane inmates we're being taken in to
supper on the second floor At the
rear of the line was the keeper, Geo.
Heald. AS is his custom he stepped
into the lavatory to see if all were
out, and as he did so, four convicts
who were in hiding there jumped at
him. One who was armed with a
towel roller torn from the wall knock
ed the keeper senseless with savage
blow AS he fell the convicts went
through his pockets, obtained his
keys, and then let themselves out at
side door and fed
The four who escaped were Frank
Temple, 20-year man sent from Pom
tiac in 1899 for burglary; George Gre
CORY of Van Buren, county, serving
three and half years for burglary;
John Chandler of Grand Rapids, five
year man sent TO Ionia prison in 1901.
and Charles Ross, an ex-convict from
the Kalamazoo asylum.
All would doubtless have gotten
away but for young Hall, who, with
another boy named Erwin Sorge, was
playing ball in field near by. He
saw the four men fleeing, and think
ing them inmates of the asylum, he
ran to the building and learned of
their escape Then, with young Sorge
be followed them for a mile through
the woods and finally began to fire at
them with revolver he carried.
The sound of the shots attracted
Keepers Jennings and Smith, who live
in that neighborhood, and they cap
tured Temple and Gregory. Hall took
charge of Temple and returned him
to The asylum, Keeper smith taking
care of the other.
Superintendent Long of the asylum
looks on the escape as a preconcerted
attempt, and is of the opinion that it
was connived at by other inmates who
did not succeed in getting away.
Heald was not seriously hurt.
The Robbery.
The most successful postoffice rob-
berry of any planned aud attempted in
Western Michigan within recent
weeks was carried out with complete
success at Vaudeville, Friday night,
