Satisfactory Nomination.

Howard E. Slocum is Corunna boy
born and bred just east of town-and
a graduate of our high school. He is
one of those ambitious fellows who are
determined to obtain high position in
life, and he is certainly on the right
track. He is very studious, and year
ago graduated with high honors from
the State Normal, at Ypsilanti. He has
the ability, the up-and-at-it habit, and
when once he gets head of steam on,
you'll pronounce him first class official
-Corunna Independent.
Principal Slocum came off victorious
last Tuesday in his race for nomination
on the republican ticket for County
School Commissioner. He gained the
victory by the close majority of one
vote. Mr.. Bristol, the present incumb-
ent has held the position for seven years.
therefore he has no complaint to make
to the electors of Shiawassee. He has
been good commissioner and has given
general satisfaction throughout the
county. The only claim there was
against him was that he had the public
office long enough. Mr.. Slocum will be
worthy successor. He is a Shiawassee
boy and he has made his own way in
his profession. He was agraduate from
Ypsilanti Normal last June. He is an
experienced teacher, especially in rural
work which will fix him for his new
position. He has been the principal of
the Vernon schools one year, and we do
not like to part with his sfficient SER
vices. Yetwe will in the future receive
the benefits of his labors, and can say
with safety that when election day ar.
rives Mr.. Slocum will receive an al.
most unanimous vote in this precinct
regardless of party. Vernon Argus.

payers This year the Citizens ticket made a
clean sweep, electipg every man on the ticket
with majorities from so on president down to
on lowest councilman. Following are the
officers elected: President, John e. Hisey;
clerk, Robert Gibbs; treasurer James I4awler;

seems to be serene now and we look for good,
economical administration the coming year.

Get Increased Salaries.

Among the post offices in the state to
get increased salaries for clerks the
Owosso Office appears in the list sent
out on this mornings Washington dis
patches. Three Owosso clerks are bene-
fitted by the advance, J. R. Ketcham,
clerk-in-charge of Station 2, and Hugh
M. Miller and Rollon A. Lord, general
delivery clerks in the main post office.
The business of the Corunna avenue
station has shown a steady and a
healthy increase since its establishment
and the increase in salary of the clerk
in charge from 800 to 5000 is deserv-
ed one. Messrs. Miller and Lord are
two OF the most competent clerks in the
Owosso Office and have both been in the
office for several years. The hours of
service required of both are exacting
and the increases in salary are deserved
both on this account and on account of
the responsibility which both are un-
der. The increases were ordered by the
salary and allowance division of the
post office department after a careful
examination of the recommendations
and report of the postmaster which
were sent in at the usual time. The ad-
vance in salary takes effect July I.

Important Arrest.

d. w. Eggleston is under arrest at
Lansing for sending obscene letters
through the mail to young girls at
Perry, where he formerly lived. The
evidence against Eggleston is said to be
positive and he no doubt faces severe
punishment, The credit for bringing
him to justice belongs to Postmaster
Stevens and Rural Carrier Spaulding,
who caught him very cleverly after an
endeavor of several weeks to ascertain
who was mailing the indecent and dis
gusting letters.

CoLoMBIA's REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr.. Herran Fully Empowered to Sign
the Canal Treaty.

Mr.. Herran. the Colombian charge. called
at the Department of State today and filed
his credentials empowering him to take up
the business of the Colombian legation here
as the successor of the retired minister
Senior Concha. These credentials were re-
ceived in Washington last Saturday and
they came by mail from Bogota. AS about
six weeks were consumed in the journey,
it is evident that the credentials were GER
tainly drawn many weeks before the canal
treaty was signed by Secretary Hay and
Mr. Herran. Secretary Hay fully satisfied
himself before enbarking in negotiations
with Mr. Herran that the latter possessed
the necessary powers to make the treaty,
being advised by cable from United States
Minister Hart at Bogota that the foreign
Office there had issued the credentials and
forwarded them to Washington. 1t is no
longer regarded as necessary in these days
of quick communication to await the re-
ceipt of actual manuscript credentials when
their existence Is assured otherwise, and
the only test applied now to such creden-
ttals Is such as will satisfy the executive
branch Of the government alone. However,
II the Senate sees fit to pass the Morgan
resolution Of inquiry on that subject the
credentials now on file will be submitted.
