BODYOF Gov. RAMSEY
TO LIE IN STATE
At CAPITOL
Remains Will Be on Public
View Tomorrow From 9 a.
M. Until Noon-Funeral to
Take Place at Family Res
idence in the Afternoon
Pallbearers Are Selected.

Gov. Ramsey disliked all manner of
unnecessary Ostentation and show. He
often expressed the wish that he might
be inferred as simply as the Christian
rites would permit, and during his lat
ter days declared that he desired no
stately cortege, pomp or pageantry to
attend the last services that would soon
be said over him.
But the people of the state, while de-
sirous of observing the simple and
reasonable wish of the governor to the
full, are also very DESTROYS of paying
special respect to the remains and
memory of the father of the North
Star State. AS a compromise the fol-
lowing arrangement has been made:
Tomorrow morning with an escort of
United States regular troops from
Fort Smelling, with Col. Kline and staff,
the remains will be taken to the capt.
toll where they will repose in state from
9 o'clock till 1890 p. M, that all who
may so desire may view, for the last
time, all that is mortal of the last of
the war governors.
At 1890 the United States Twenty
first infantry will be replaced by the
National Guard as an escort, and the
remains Will be taken home to the res
idence at Walnut and Exchange streets

LABORER RELATES
A HARD LUCK STORY
Sues Employer for Alleged Breach of
Contract and Consequent Suffering.

There is something of a hard-luck
story in. the complaint filed by Frank
Berthiaume in his suit for $4,000 dam
ages against J. J. Lice. who is
charged with a breach of contract for
employment. The plaintiff is a day
laborer. and the defendant is a railroad
contractor.
Berthiaume says he was hired in st.
Paul in March, 1901, to work for the
defendant for one year, at $26 per
month. This was to include board,
washing and Transportation to Great
Falls, Mont, and return. He says he
arrived in Great Falls and worked at
the railroad camp until March 20, when
he was driven out. His demand for
return transportation to ST. Paul was
refused. He fell sick, he says, on the
day when he was ordered to give up
the key to his room. and it was only
through the interference of his broth
er, who threatened to fight with
weapons, that he was allowed to re-
main until he was able to travel.
The following day. with 10 cents in
his pocket, he left the camp, travelling
five miles through the snow on foot
He then went to work and earned the
$1,000 with which to buy a ticket to
st. Paul..

TgEY' HAD A TIME

Two Greenville Boys Had An n
lucky Trip saturday Night.
Two young gentlemen from Green
Vile hired a horse and cutter from
Winters Livery last Saturday night
and drove to Belding to call on their
best girls who reside in the Belding
addition When they drove into
town the snow was falling quite fast
and lay in large lunches on the
ground, they thought little of the
weather as they were both mentally
picturing bright visions Of the lovely
receptions awaiting them, whe7 they
should be safely housed beside their
loved ones.
There is an old saying that the
course of true love never runs smoot b.
ly and this saying was seeming yindi-
Gated by the chain Of circumstances
that followed in rapid succession
One of the boys had gotten out of the
cutter and was just going into the
house when a yell from the other
caused him TO halt and his hair to
rise like quills upon the fretful por.
cupine, for in turning around the
Gutter struck an invisible embank-
1nent and spilled driver, robes and
cushion into the snow. The horse,
frightened at the spill, soon kicked
himself loose from the cutter and
took little spin on his own account.
The boys claim they hunted for the
horse but they failed to find him and
he was found yesterday morning not
far from where the spill happened,
and nearly frozen to death. A young
lad brought him to Fale's Barn and
he was given the best Of treatment
and Winter was notified and came
down and got him. The young men
from Greenyille, whose source of love
bringthem here, shotld exercise more
care in the future in making their
bearings and they will thus obviate a
lot of disagreeable trouble for theu.
selves and the poor horse who brings
them to the city.

Tomorrow will be a red letter day
in the history of the Pere Marquette
railroad, as this date will make the
entrance of this now famous system
into Chicago, over its own tracks.
The new arrangement necessitates
some changes in the running time OF
several trains and Belding is down for
a few of them.
The changes that reach here, how
ever, are as yet confined to the Grand
Ledge and Howard City branch and
are as follows:
Train No p, which has previously
reached here at ll:04 will hereafter
arrive at 1854 or ten minutes earlier,
Train No % which has reached here
at l:40 will arrive here at 1910 an
hour and half earlier.
:, If our readers are contemplating a
Gatyer the road on either of their
trains will time themselves according
ly and thus avoid any disappointment
in missing a train.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA
Grand Rapids Is Planning To Hold a
Week of Prayer.

Week of Prayer.
From Fridays Banner.
A week of united and universal
prayer is being planned by the Evan
gelical alliance to be held In Grand
Rapids and it will begin in a couple
of weeks. Taking into account re-
cent developments on municipal cor
ruption and iniquity In high places,
nothing better in the line of doing
something toward attoning for the
mighty sins of commission that has
been rife there in the past two years
could have been thought of. 1t is
hoped that great revival will take
place, that it may reach into social
and municipal life and give the city
such a cleansing morally as it never
had before.
Salisbury has repented of his sins
of commission and omission and at
the confessional, while he acknowl-
edges he is the chiefest among sim
uers, yet there were others.
A revival is certainly needed. The
first topics as given on the program
is, The Warrant, the Privilege and
Power of Prayer.
