DIR. spINNEY,s pRoposITIoN.
Meeting of Business Men and Citi
zens Monday Nighttime Doctor
Was Present.

There was good representation of
our business men at the meeting held
Monday night to consider the propo-
sition of DIR. Spinney in regard to the
sanitarium he proposes to locate here.
Mr.. Spinney was present and stated
that he had purchased the property
at Cooks Corners, the papers of trans
fer having been completed and passed
and that a sanitarium was an assured
fact; that he would, as soon as pos
sible, bring his business here. He
wanted, however, a little temporary
assistance from his friends, in the
way of subscription to stock in the
enterprise, the certificates to be SO
each, secured, and redeemable in cash
at six per cent. interest.
The .,oney so received to be used
in repairs and equirm ,a OF the
building and to be deposited with NJ
A. Reed at the Peoples Saving Bank
to be drawn out only for that purpose.
Mr. Spinney gave detailed finan-
cial statement of the receipts and ex-
penses of the institution at Reed
City since the fire which showed that
the business is a paying one and of
great benefit to the city trade in
general
The doctor stated that if he could
get the assistance asked for immedi-
ately he could then arrange matters
to open the Sanitarium very soon and
bring all his business and patients
here. and if not he would be obliged
to delay until such time as he could
do it without it being to burdensome
for himself financially.
Mr.. Spinney's secretary will inter
view our citizens in few days, when
it is hoped that the stock asked for
may all be taken.

THEY SURPRISED HIM
Genial Barney Curtis Was the
Victim.
Fellow Workmen Gave Him Morris
Chair at Woodmen Hall
saturday Night.

About 45 of the employees of the
Ballou Basket Works gathered at the
Woodman Hall on Saturday evening
to give a farewell surprise party to
Barney Curtis, the retiring superin-
tendent of the factory bearing that
name. Full arrangements had been
completed for the affair, all unknown
to Mr.. Curtis, and he was summoned
to the hall by messenger from the
lodge who said he was wanted there.
The surprise was ably managed by
Mert Eaves, Frank Darling, Frank
SiSSnons, Obe Holmes and j w, Pull
maj, who were the iginstators of the
conspiracy. After few friendly
salutes from various persons present,
III. S. Campbell, in a few we'll chosen
words called Mr.. Curtis attention to
the fact that they had been well
pleased with the associations which
they had had with him. and to clinch
the remarks and make them more for
chile, he presented him with fine
Morris chair in behalf of his fellow
employees
When Mr. Curtis recovered from
his surprise, he thanked all concern
ed in a feeling manner, telling the
boys how much such kindly thoughts
were appreciated by him.
After the presentation, social ses-
sion followed, interspersed with songs,
recitations, speeches. readings and
music. Candy and cigars were also
passed about, and at l0:30 a banquet
was if,aulged in that was amply APP
preciated by all present. w. G.
Coulter easily took the cake as the
best speaker of the evening. The ex-
citement and noise heard by passing
people on the street was occasioned
by the Board of Trade" holding
session, with the Hon. Fred Pinkham
officiating as marker, and Will Orser
trying..t to outbid Herb Campbell and
Mert Eaves. Fred Pinksam surprised
all present by his inimiatable style,
,d after wishing Mr.. Curtis good
Hck and escorting him safely home
the meeting adjourned sine die.

SCHOOL CROWDED.
VIII Have To Build Greater IL Popu-
Iaiion Increases-Liable to
DO So.

The schools of our city were never
so crowded with pupils as they are
at the beginning of the term which
opened this week, and the teachers
especially In the primary departments
are greatly worried to know what to
do with SO many, the seating capacity
being over taxed. Several scholars
from the first ward school have
already been transferred to the Union
building and it is conundrum to the
school board to know how to dispose
of others yet to come.
The forth coming census now being
taken by Z. w. Gooding will show a
large increase of children of school
age, and already the question of
building more schoolroom by enlarge
ing the buildings we now have con-
fronts the board of education.

FINED THE BLAME.
Coroner's Jury Blames Engineer for
Fearful Wreck at Durand.

Coroner's Jury Blames Engineer for
Fearful Wreck at Durand.
The .coroners inquest held at Du-
rand to determine if possible, who
was responsible for the terrible wreck
at that place on Aug. 7th, concluded
it duties yesterday.
Charles M. Probs, of Battle Creek,
Mich. engineer of the second section
of the circus train that crashed into
the rear of the first train, testified
that he did all in his power to avoid
the wreck and also admitted that he
did not look at the air gauge in the
cab as he should have done.
other testimony was introduced
which showed that the train was not
equipped with available hand brakes
and consequently the brakeman could
do nothing to aid in ayerting the dis
aster.
After listening to all the testimony
the jury rendered verdict to the eff
feet that the wreck might have been
averted if Engineer Charles M. Probst
had watched the air gauge before
him and also if Wallace Bros. had had
their cars properly equipped with
hand brakes.
