IONIA VS.THE LLOYDS
Belding People Went to See a Fast
Game But Were Disappointed.
A Good Game Slated For saturday
Mt. Pleasant and Ionia TO Play.

On Saturday last, the much herald
ed Lloyds of st. Louis. Mo. came to
this city to meet the Ionia giants on
the local diamond and to show our cit
izens how little they knew about base
ball. A large crowd of Ionia people
came up on the lao train with the
team from that city, and were soon on
the way to the grounds headed by the
managers band.
Before the game was called the
"Coons" went out on the grounds for
a little practice and those who were
there early enough to see them prac-
tice were convinced that Ionia was
up against the real thing. But when
Umpire Pennybaker called out "play
ball" the black-faced artists seemed
to be stricken with stage fright and
proceeded to show the large assembly
how little they knew about base ball
and submitted to a shut out at the
hands of the Giants by a score of "a
too.
The Lloyds came here with a good
reputation as fast ball players and the
management of the local society feel
very sore oyer'the result of this en-
gagement, and If is intimated that
Mr.. Lloyd, the manager, put in a dun
my nine to play in our city, and if
suspicion should prove true, he may
have to appear here later in company
with our genial townsman Sheriff
Fales, on charge of obtaining mon
ey on false pretens es.
Ionia and Mt. Pleasant play here
on Saturday and as both teams have
shown their ability to play good ball
our local fans may expect to see a
good game at that time.

THE K. OF P. PICNIC
July 3Oth Is The Day Set For
Great Event.
FORTUNA LODGE AND the SISTERS
Day of Pleasure Has Been
Planned For.

The annual Knights of Pythias pic
mic will be held at Long Lake Thurs.
day July 80, and an all day session OF
fun and frolic has been laid out to
take place on the camp grounds at
that time.
A year ago the Knights and Rath-
bone sisters and their invited guests
had very pleasant outing for day
and 1t is intended by the committee
of arrangements that the forthcom-
ing one will be bigger, better and
grander than that one.
The committee having in charge the
preliminary arrangements are A. B.
Hull, Lee Cusser, Jas. Wolcott, c l..
Staley and George Stout aud anyone
desiring to know what is to be done
or other information concerning it
may consult them and be enlightened.
A ball game between the fats and
leans of the order, boat races by both
ladies and gentlemen, running races
and many other sports are a part of
the program. 1t isn't at all likely
that one of the fraternity will forget
to make calculations to be present on
the occasion.

FORMER BELDING WOMAN.
Mrs, Frank w. King of Charlotte
Killed-was Struck by Train
Near Home.

The following dispatch to the De-
troit Journal regarding the accident
is as follows: "While Mrs. Frank w.
King, aged 65 years, was returning
from neighbours Thursday night, she
was struck on the Clinton street eros
sing by Grand Trunk train and
thrown so feet. The accident oc-
CURED directly in front of her home.
She died half an hour later without
regaining consciousness. Her head
was split open and left leg broken.
The crossing is only few rods from
sharp curve, and it was dark, as the
street light was out at the time, The
engineer did not see Mrs. King and
the Grand Trunk officials did not
learn of the affair until notified by the
Freiget agent Fuller, who saw the ac-
cident.
Apparently Mrs. King tried to cross
the track ahead of the engine. The
train was late and in consequence was
at a higher rate than usual at that
point.
Mrs. King was the mother of Mrs
Carroll Brown, one of the most prom
inent of Charlotte's society women"
Mr. and Mrs. King were residents
and owned a farm in Grattan about
twenty years ago which they sold and
came to Belding to live. Mr.. King
built the II. J Leonard house and also
owned and operated the old Franklin
Hotel property, they afterwards
moved to Charlotte.

THEY ALL MUST GO
Slot Machines Must Cease to do
Business.
OFFICIALS HAVE GIVEN OUT DECREE
The County VIII BE Purged-Prose-
cutting Attorney Clute and
Sheriff Fales Say So.

For a long time it has been noticed
by the county officials who have the
matter OF police regulations to look
after, that the willy slot machine is
again doing business all along the
line in different parts of the county
and numerous tips from parties OPP
posed to that form of gambling has
spurred them to action and war has
beeDdeclared by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Clute who has instructed Sheriff
Fales to at once order every slot ma
chine out of saloons, drug stores, ci-
|Agar and grocery stores.
Z He has visited several places in the
county and was in Muir last week
Wednesday where he served notices
with the warning that his next trip
would be for the purpose of confscat-
ing every slot machine he could find.
The order only touches those machines
playing for money and the kind usual
ly found in saloons.
The probabilities are that people
can get cud of gum or cents worth
of salted peanuts as heretofore by the
pressing of a button Sheriff Fales
was in the city this week and gave
his orders as directed which of course
will be obeyed by all who are infring-
ing the law.

Drains In the County.

F. A Palmer who is assisting Coun-
ty Drain Commissioner M. E Kenyon
has completed the survey and work of
securing the rights of way for the
Davis-Purdy drain and also one in the
vicinity of Symrna, he has been kept
pretty busy this summer and has con-
siderable ahead.
Mr. Kenyon is doing excellent work
and does not allow any time to go to
waste. the drains of the county were
never in better condition then at
present, and when constructed are
made substantial. The Benedict
Kohn drain will soon be put in fine
condition as the contract of letting is
published in the BANNER this week.

THE LAW FLACRARTLY VIOLATED
Prosecuting Attorney Clute Begins
Crusade of Law and
order.

The disposition on the part of many
saloon keepers to evade the law, and
the flagrant violation of it in many
places in the county causes the Port
land Observer to remark; There
seems to be quite disposition on the
part Of the prosecuting attorney TO
have more rigid enforcement of the
liquor laws in his jurisdiction, and the
movement recently begun is but the
beginning of a crusade which will be
far reaching. 1t may, too, be the be-
ginning of local option movement
which will be the undoiug of the
&hiskey business in the county.
Some weeks ago the Observer inti-
mated to the saloonists that it would
be well for them to go slow on viola
tions of the liquor law. and said it
would be their own fault if local op
tion should become reality in Ionia
county, as they we're asking and as
Stunning too much in the conduct of
their business, openly violating the
law and defying decency-that patti.
ence would cease to be a virtue and
the people would rise up and demand
a change in the conduct of whiskey
selling. 1t now looks as though we
were not far out of the way; for from
what we have heard there is a strong
anti-saloon sentiment in some por-
tions of the county, and that those
who have been and are being outraged
by the action of the saloon interests
will not submit to it much longer"
At this time there are no less than
26 cases of various kinds against Ionia
county saloonists and bartenders

WAS A CLOSE VOTE
Large Turnout at Annual School
Meeting.
W. |. BENEDICT ELECTED TRUSTEE
Bonrd Instructed to Purchase More
Land-voted to Raise $4,000
By Direct Tax.

The ballot for trustee at the an
nual school meeting held last Monday
night showed that there were Ia
voters present. Quite large proper
tion of these were ladies who accord.
ing TO law may exercise the right Of
franchise on such occasions. The in.
terest centered in the choice of a
member Of the board of education
and but for this fact there probably
would not have been more than a
good corporal's guard present.
The moderator, F H. Hudson, called
for the reading of the records of the
annual meeting one year ago and al
so the directors report of receipts
and disbursements which were pub
lished last week. From the report
made it was shown that number of
substantial mprovements have been
made the past year.. The grounds
have been graded, young trees set
out, new well put down, new heat
ing apparatus installed and a fine
cement walk placed along the street
with connections to the school build
ing.
improvements have also been made
at each of the ward schools.
The board recommended the raising
of Sc, 500 by direct tax to meet the ex-
penses for the ensuing year and on
motion it was carried. The question
of purchasing two lots OF w. B. Ira
Wis adjoining the property on the
east. for more play ground, was dis
cussed and by a vote was placed in
the hands OF the Board with instruc-
tiOns to make the deal If they cons
sidered best TO do so. Romaine Rob
inson nominated 2. w. Gooding TO
succeed himself, stating that his con-
nection with the board for the past
fifteen years, having been elected 5
times in succession, was sufficient
evidence of his ability and fitness for
the place. John Bond named w. l..
and on a vote being taken 1t
resulted II for Benedict and 10 for q.

indeed, the attending doctors now say
he may live indefinitely Notwith-

now seems in fair way to live for
ever, although the summons may
come at any time. But just now the
