Co. "C' of the Sd Mich. Cav. are hold
ing their 18th annual reunion in this viii
lage yesterday and to-day. This is the
first time the company has met in Paw
Paw since its members took the oath of
military service in September, 1861. Then
there were 100 vigorous youths, now
there are about one fourth that number
of old, gray headed "boys."
Owing to the custom of holding a two
days reunion, it is not possible to give
full roster of attendance, as some of the
members will not arrive until to-day.
One of the pleasant incidents of the
annual reunions of this company is tho
practice of bringing wives and children
and making a general family gathering.
Up to the present time the following
members have reported for duty:
Capt. o. w. Rowland of Paw Paw,
Cornelius Buys of South Haven, Jonn d.

Two Enjoyable Reunions In Paw Paw
This Week.
LAFAYETTE LIGHT GUARDS.

Co. &C" of the 10th New York infantry
held its annual reunion yesterday with
Comrade Longwell at the Dyckman
house. The following comrades, some of
them accompanied by their wives, were
present.
Capt j. M. Longwell and Lieut.. L. j.
Chatfee of Paw Paw, Lieut.. Don G..
Rogers of Milwaukee, Nathan Hurlbut,
A. w. Cummings, James Clark, A. ].
Roundy and Art Shrine of Paw Paw,
Robert McKinstry of Detroit, John
Sprague and John Shrine of Muskegon,
ii. b. Myers, Edward Carney and John
Barnum of Decatur, John W. Emery of
Grand Rapids, James Abrams of Law
renee, Mark Worthington of Vicksburg,
Herrick Hodges of South Haven and
Jacob Becker of Berlamont adopted
from another company. Judge b. F.
Heckert and M. o. Rowland were also
present as guests of the company at din
ner, and j. f. Bullard assisted in the
martial music and social session.
Billy" Bullard of Niles, who never
misses one of these reunions, sent word
that he could not come on account of
the illness of his wife. However, the
boys could not get along without martial
music, and Levi Hawkins was a substi-
tute for BILLY" at the snare drum, while
Dell" Cummings blew the fife and j. +.
Bullard beat the base drum.
An interesting incident of che reunion
was the recalling of the fact that the
day was the 4lst anniversary of the
wounding of Comrades McKinstry,
Worthington and Rogers, who were
present as well as others of Co. &c"
and several members were killed on the
same occasion.
Another peculiar incident was brought
out: Over 40 years ago, Comrade John
Sprague, while in the service, had a
water beetle crawl into his ear. The
surgeon could not get it out, but poured
sweet oil into the ear, and as it felt easier
In the morning and gave no further
trouble, 1T was supposed it had crawled
out during the night. Sprague recently
became almost deaf in that ear and went
to a specialist in Muskegon this spring,
who removed the almost perfect body of
the beetle from its tomb of 40 years, re-
storing the patients hearing.
In the afternoon, an interesting busi-
ness and social session was held, several
members of the company and Judge
Heckert making interesting talks.
j. M. Longwell was elected president
of the association, A. w. Cummings, Sec
retary.
Altogether, it was the of the most en-
joyable reunions the company ever held,
and its reunions are always especially
interesting, because of the hard service
the company saw enables the survivors
to relate stories of the most absorbing

Commenting on f.. A. Cranes propo-
sition concerning the old court house,
the South Haven Tribune says: 1T is
unfortunate that the above generous
offer of Mr.. Crane was not accepted by
the village or township of Paw Paw. 1t
would have added one more to the orna-
ments of the place and, as suggested,
would have been a standing incitement
to patriotic thought Probably it is now
too late, but it would seem that il it
were not, some other patriotic citizens
might be found to join Mr. Crane in
his generous proposition" The True
Northerner believes it is a mistake not
to preserve the old court house iu some
such way as Mr.. Crane suggests, and we
will be glad to publish any communica-
tion in the matter.

Not every childish mind can fathom
the mystery of the omnipresence OF
Deity. Little Tomnlie was one of
these. He had been sent to bed
alone. His cot was upstairs and the
thunder rolled and lightning flashed
numerically. He lay quietly until he
could no longer stand it, and then
his little nightgowned figure appeared
at the head of the stairs.

stay.

the little figure was halfway down.

RANK INCONSISTENCY.

RANK INCONSISTENCY.
Tt has remained for the postoffice
department to demonstrate the adj
ministration's inconsistency in re-
gard to the negro in office in a most
unmistakable manner.
Recently Representative Jackson
(rep.) of Maryland secured the es-
Establishment Of a new postoffice in
Somerset county, Maryland, and
recommended the appointment OF
IS. Day as postmaster. The de-
partment established the office and
pointed Day. It transpired that
Day is negro, and strong protests
came to the department from the
patrons Of the new office. They did
not take kindly to the appointment
] Of a negro to Office.
Maryland is politically close
state. a slight change of votes
is likely to throw the state into the
democratic column. Nothing must
be done. 60 stir up a feeling Of re-
sentiment among tho people Of so
close a state, for there's presiden-
tial election on next year. Every
vote and every delegate will be
needed by the Roosevelt admins
tration If 1t hopes to win. The sit
uat:on in close or doubtful states
must be handled very carefully
Now, what did the postoffice de-
partment do in the case Of the Mary
land negro? Let us see.
Instead Of insisting that the ne
gro retain his position as the de-
partment didin the Indianola, Miss,
case, it promptly notified Represen-
tative jackson Of the situation, sug-
costing that he at once withdraw
his endorsement Of the negro, and,
i necessary, permit the office to be
closed and discontinued, which has
since been done. So all this hue

STILL AFTER SMOOT.

Reed Smoot, removed from the
United States senate. A campaign
of education and agitation will be
conducted all over the country that
the people may be Informed Of con-
ditions in Utah and may use their
influence with their senators to have
Shoots seat declared vacant. The
fight against Smoot will be conduct
ed by the INSTRUMENTATION
Council Of Women for Christian and
Patriotic Service, the w. G. T. u,
the League for Social Service, the
board OF home missions of the Pres
byterian church and the Ministers,
association, Of Salt Lake City. The
president of the Intcrdenomina-
tional council is Mrs. Darwin R.
James, and Miss Helen Gould is vice
president. 1t is the intention of
the w. G. T. u. to make it's fight
against Mr.. Smoot as a part OF it's
fight for national divorce law.
DR.. Josiah Strong is president Of
the League for Social Service, which
led in the successful contest to keep
Brigham I'll. Roberts out of con
gress. 1t is said that Miss Helen
Gould's fnteresti in the Smoot fight
is favorable to the cause, from the
fact that she has guaranteed the
necessary funds.
1t has been learned from Mr..
Shoots opponents that they have
decided not to press the charge OF
polygamy against him, although a
protest will be made against his
presence in the senate upon the
ground that he is a polygamist.
The allegations of polygamy will
not be Dressed further than this
protest, however, as it is conceded
that it is practically impossible to
prove that any Mormon is a polyga-
mist. The basis of the fight
against him will be his allegiance to
the Mormon Church. 1t will be
urged that this allegiance is such
that he cannot the oath of senator
without mental reservation, his
allegiance to his church being higher
and more sacred than his allegiance
to the Unitad States, and for that
reason he, is not qualified to serve as
a senator.
the reason given for the contest
against Mr.. Smoot is that the Nor.
mon church is using its tremendous
power and Influence to gain political
control, not only in Utah, but in all
OF the western states where it has a
i following. It is pointed out thatir
i Utah there is no disposition to share

had the misfortune to lose two valuable
work horses in a peculiar manner.

of the animals were unable to keep
their feet on the steep grade, and fell
with such force that they were both

The Leader learns that the horses
were not killed, but were so badly
hurt that they could not get up. and
the owner left them in the road. F.
H Beathe, county rOadmaster, was
sent for to remove the obstruction,
which frightened the passing teams.
He managed to get the horses on their
feet and turned them into Mr.. York's
field. where they are in fair way to
recover.
