Two swarms of bees lit out from
one of the boarding houses over the
river Sunday afternoon and DR.. AL
vim Camp and assistants tried to stop
them by beating tin pans and doing
other stunts with brush whips and
salt water sprays. One of the swarms
gathered on telephone pole at the
corner of Main and Hanover streets
and hive was set near II but the in
sects were mad and wouldn't 60 into
il for long time.
The "Dock" got stung number of
times but not so badly as his assist
ant Mr.. Smith who received so many
strikes from the business end of the
bees that IL made him sick. An ex-
pert at the hiving business came
sSkng about sundown and with his
bare hands poked them all into the
box, there was good big peck of the
honey manufacturers. The attrac-
tion drew big crowds who kept safe
distance and scattered in all direc-
tions when they made raid.

Residents OF Ionia County will be
pleased to learn that Congressman
William Alden Smith has succeeded
in securing the county free rural
mail delivery system for that county
and that it will room be installed and
in perfect working order. Fourth
Assistant Postmaster r General Bristow
granted the application late yester-
day and issued orders for Special
Agent Moore to begin the work of
laying out the new routes at once.
This concession from the postal de-
partment will give every farmer in
Ionia county free rural mail de-
livery service for which they have
been looking some time Congress
man Smith was in Washington a few
days ago and pressed his application
with the department with such de-
termined force that it was finally
granted. The recent announcement
that the postal department intended
to economize by temporarily curtail-
ing the extension of the fire e rural de-
livery srevice made it appear some
what discouraging for Ionia county,
and this concession is considered to be
a great victory for the congressman
from the Fifth Michigan district
Rural route No. which leads out of

will hereafter have a daily mail
Melvin "A. Chapman has received his
credentials as carrier and has purch-
ased fine team for making the drive.
The establishing of a daily mail
service to every inhabitant through

highly priced and an Innovation in

our county in all line of improvement.

THIS SETTLES 1T
Electric Road VIII Now be Built
For Sure.
Has Been Financed Bonds Issued and
Big Mortgage Filed

A volumious document filed in the
register of deeds Office is of more than
usual interest, as being indicative of
the realization of the much talked of
project of an electric road connect
ing Grand Rapids and Saginaw. 1t
was mortgage executed by the HUI
ron & Michigan Railroad Co., on the
rights of way franchises, contracts
with Saginaw & Grand Rapids Rail-
road Co., and other property acquired
in the construction, operation, and
maintainance of an electric road be-
tween Saginaw and Grand Rapids,
private rights of way for which have
been secured for almost the entire
length.
The mortgage is given to secure
first mortgage bonds amounting to
81, 3000,000 to be issued in denomina-
tions of $500 EACH numbering from
to 460 inclusive. These are to be gold
bonds bearing per cent semi-annual
interest and the first to mature in
1888. The trust mortgage is executed
by Arthur ID. Prosser, president and
Leslie j. Haines, secretary of the
Huron & Michigan Railroad Co., and
is accepted by Levi H. Withey, presi-
dent and Claude Hamilton, secretary
of the Huron Il Michigan Trust Co.,
Grand Rapids.
The document, which covers 55 type
written pages, has already been re-
corded in Kent, Ionia, Montcalm and
Gratiot counties.
The bonds to be issued bear date of
July l, 1903. 1t is expected that work
will begin on construction of the road
some time during the year 1903 and
it's completion pushed along as rapid
ly as possible. Through the presist-
ent efforts of Mr.. Prosser it is believ-
ed that a consolidation of the two
companies who have been securing
rights of way has been effected and
nothing now stands in the way of the
building of the much wished for line.

Water Works Proposition De-
feated.
RIVER WATER FOR LAWN PURPOSES
VIII Drink From Same Canteen
as Heretofore.
Light Vote Pollsd-"Stay at Homes
Accomplished Result 3s Ma
1ority Against.

The proposition submitted to the
voters for bonding the city for 1885,
0O0 to install a system of Waterworks
was voted down at the special cleo
tion held Saturday. There were only
447 votes cast out of total registra
1 tion OF over 900.
Many citizens who were in favor of
II and desired very much to have the
proposition carry did not go to the
polls and do their duty by casting a
ballot thereby permitting defeat.
Our inhabitants win therefore as in
the past drink water from the same
sources of supply as they have been
in the habit of doing heretofore, and
the lawns, some of them will be
sprinkled with water from the river.
provided the BeldingHall Co., can be
prevailed on to furnish power for so
doing Their contract with the city
expires next year and it is question
whether they will enter into re-
newal of it.
IL Is already given out that no more
extensions of mains will be allowed
and no more takers of water for lawn
purposes will be permitted
Alderman Clark favors entering in
to another five years contract with
the company and at its expiration call
an election for bonding for water
works and electric lighting plant
combined, he thinks the city would
then be ready to adopt such system.
1t is argued however by Alderman
Chaye that a contract for more than
year without the approval of the
citizens by vote is illegal and can
not be made.
For city of our size, improvements
land business interests we are certain
ny up against serious proposition,
and it is to be hoped that the Mayor
and Council will find some satisfactory
solution of the problem
The vote on the proposition by
wards is as follows:
lst ward AS yes "a no.
End ward 66 yes 81 no.
3rd ward 90 yes 81 no.

sister Miss Florence Wagner who
sang two selections "Ave Maria u
and ''Life's Lullaby" very difficult
pieces, but giving an opportunity
for the audience to appreciate the
sweetness of her voice and the con-
troll she has of it, Miss Wagner is
making wonderful progress in the art
of singing, The piano used was the

best instruments which he has on
