The Annual School Meeting.

Owosso has had many exciting school
meetings but never one like that held
Monday evening, and it is to be hoped
will never have another of the same
kind.
President Knapp called the meeting
to order about 8 o'clock and from that
time to 1890 hardly moments time
was lost-save when a few boisterous
citizens refused to listen to remarks by
d. M. Christian. The annual reports of
the secretary and treasurer were read
and approved. The budget for the COM
ing year, as printed last week, was pre-
sented. After some discussion, includ-
ing the question of adding manual train
ing to the schools, the amount asked for
was ON motion of Odell Chapman, re-
duced from S25, 600 to $24, 600. With the
estimated income of $t2, 900 the cost of
conducting the schools for the coming
year will be $36, 200.
The election of trustees being in order
Odell Chapman presented the name of
Jacob A. Barrie, the nomination being
supported by Geo. B. McCaughna. Geo.
E. Pardee presented the name of G. A.
Byerly to succeed himself, the same be.
ing seconded by S. J. Rouse and D. M.
Christian. G. w. jennings asked DIR.
Knapp to explain to the meeting how
much money Mr.. Byerly had saved to
the district during his term of Office,
from the fact that he was mechanic.
The DR.. spoke quite enthusiastically in
reply and in moment trouble was
brewing, the supporters of Mr. Barrie OBJ
jecting to a statement of the kind being
made by the presiding officer and it was
owing to this feeling that a number OF
the voters refused to listen to ID. NJ
Christian when he arose to speak. Af-
ter several minutes of confusion order
was finally restored long enough to or
der ballot, with G. w. Detwiler, A. B.
Crane and E. H. Stanard acting as tell
ers. The total vote cast was 464, oi
| which MI. Barrie received 232, Mr.. By
erly $50, H. K. White 1, DR.. Crum 1,
The second ballot gave Mr.. Barrie 23S
Byerly 200, scattering 4. Mr.. Barrie wa:
declared elected.
c. A. Vanderhoof nominated DR.. j
d. Crum to succeed H. X. White, the
nomination being supported by Chas
Lemon and J. HI. Laverock. G. S. Will
liams nominated H. K. White, Odel
Chapman and G. B. McCaughna second
ing the same. N. R. Walsh presented
the name of J. G. Osburn, Louis Muell
er endorsing the nomination. Five bal
lots with results as follows were requir
ed before DR.. Crum was declared elect
ed:

Common Council.

A regular meeting of the common
council was held on Monday evening.
After the bills had been allowed the
council adjourned so that all might at
tend the school meeting.
On Tuesday evening, an adjourned
meeting was held. Aid. Rigley, who
had gone to Durand to see his family,
missed the train and drove to Owosso,
arriving at the council chamber at $50.
He presented remonstrance to the
Saginaw street sewer extension, and the
ordinance was not passed.
The contract for sweeping the streets
twice each week was let to o. X. Brew
ster, for $14 week.
Aid. Lamfrom reported on the matter
OF sealer of weights and measures, but
was not well enough posted to speak
authoritatively and will go to Lansing
to get pointers on the outfit which the
city will have to buy. An agent of
Fairbanks, Morse q Co., scale manufac-
turers, was present. The outfit for the
proper testing of weights and measures
will probably cost about $170
Alderman Lamfrom presided at both
meetings in the absence of the Mayor.

Prospects Good.

A special meeting of TIE stockholders
of the Owosso Sugar Co. was held at the
office building of the company, in this
CITY, Wednesday. President G. w.
Brown, of Pittsburg, Pa, Secretary
Treasurer G. N. Smith and Supt. Jos.
Kohn, of Bay City, and several local
stockholders were present, while num-
Der were represented by proxies. A
number OF items of business were con-
sidered, among which was the locating
of the office of the company at Pittsburg,
this being made necessary by change
in the law since the bylaws of the COM
pany locating the offices. in that city
were adopted, the approving of all ac-
tions taken by the stockholders and di-
rectors meetings previously held outside
the state, etc.
President Brown, in the course of
quite extended remarks explaining the
affairs of the company, stated that so
far as the eastern stockholders were con-
cerned all had the same confidence in
the ultimate success of the company and
business that they had when they orig
inally decided to invest in the enter
prise. He said it had been shown be-
yond question that beets could be grown
in this state at good profit, that the
soil was all right and he believed that
farmers would sooner or later grow a
few acres of beets each year.
Reports received from those growing
beets this year indicate that the pros
poets are excellent for large yield.
The reports also show that the farmers
profted by the experience of year ago
and are getting along with good deal
less expense this year.

Three years ago last month when the
present sheriff needed new man for
the position of deputy sheriff and turn
key he spent some time looking up a
man for the position. A fSend OF his
called his attention to Mr.. John l..
Curtis, who had a few months before
been elected treasurer of the city OF
Owosso. 1t was short time after this
that Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Gerow became
personally acquainted, and the sheriff
becoming convinced that the recon-
mendation of their mutual friend was
well made, offered the position to Mr..
Curtis and asked him to give the matter
consideration-and favorable answer
should he think best after such consid-
Grafton. Various circumstances of
purely personal and family nature
well known at the time to the many
friends of Mr.. Curtis in this city-made
it seem best to him to accept the posi-
tion offered by Sheriff Gerow, which he
did, leaving the city treasurers Office in
the hands of City Clerk Edwards, his
deputy, after having made satisfactory
arrangements to that effect with his
bondsmen. The result is that the man
who was selected by democrat sheriff,

purely because of his personal worth
and in spite of his politics. which al
ways were of the opposite faith, today
comes before his party and the people
as candidate for the Office of sheriff
Just as he came before Sheriff Gerow
when introduced by mutual friend
purely on his merits, and at the solicita-
ton of his friends. Three years ago
friend had confidence in him and told
democratic sheriff what he thought of
him. That person was impressed with
his worth and received in return three
years of faithful service from him.
Today Mr.. Curtis friends by the
score are telling the republicans of the
county the same story of his worth and
faithfulness and are advising them to
place him in nomination for the Office
in which he has but comparatively re-
Gently completed three years highly
successful apprenticeship. And that it
was successful term OF apprenticeship
one needs but to reflect that it was one
served by stalwart republican who
had served his party and the city of
Owosso one term in the common coun-
Gil, two on the board Of supervis-
ors, and had just been elected, by fine
majority, to the Office of city treasurer
before accepting this more lucrative
position something which meant much
to him that year-under man of oppo-
site political faith, who had known him
only as a passing acquaintance until a
very short time befo offering him an
important position in his official family.
Mr.. Curtis friends are pointing out the
undeniable fact that man who is good
enough to hold so important and so con-
fidential a position for three years and
who can give entire satisfaction while
doing so is the kind of man to give
the most complete satisfaction to the
county in general and to his republican
brethren in particular, if nominated and
elected to the important Office of sheriff.
They point with good deal of satisfac-
tion to the record made by Mr.. Curtis
since coming to this city fourteen years
ago, a young man. but recently married.
coming directly from the farm in Birch
Run, Saginaw county, where he was
born, brought up, and where he attend
ed. the district school which was nearest
his fathers farm. His record from that
time to the present is pretty well known
to the most of Owosso people. For the
first eight years he worked in the Estey
and Woodard factories, serving as aid
erman and supervisor during three years
Of this time His later record is already
given practically in full above. He is a
member of a number of fraternal orders
and is popular among the membership
Of the same. He is of a quiet, modest
disposition, but man full of self-reli-
ance. These are some of the points his
friends are making for him today, some
of the reasons why they are asking that
the republicans of the county place John
l.. Curtis in nomination for the Office of
sheriff.

Eight Years IN Prosecutors Office.

1t is hard to see how any man could
spend eight years in any Office without
gaining knowledge which would be of
great benefit to him should he be given
the opportunity of managing the affairs
of that Office on his own responsibility
Particularly is this true at the present
time of one of the candidates for the re-
publican nomination for prosecuting
attorney in this county. A young man
who has made his own way in the
world, into the practice of law, and has
spent eight years in the Office of the
prosecuting attorney under two differ
ent administrations of that office, as
Will j. Parker has done, is pretty like
ly to have gained some valuable know
ledge of the duties of that Office which
is pretty likely to prove of advantage
to the county in case he is nominated
and elected Such are the arguments
used by Mr.. Parkers friend in urging
his nomination for the Office of prosecut-
ing attorney, and no one can deny that
they are arguments which should have
weight.
Mr.. Parker, who is now thirty-two
of age, has been resident of Shiawas-
see county for the last nine years. He
was graduate of the Fenton public
schools and had studied law for some
three years and half before coming to
this county. He than entered the law
Office of A. l.. Chandler, of Corunna
and assisted him during the four years
of the latter's two terms as prosecuting
attorney. Since that time he has been
associated with Attorney Austin E..
Richards during the two terms the lat
ter gentleman has served the county as
prosecutor For the last year and a
half practically the entire work of the
Office has fallen to his lot on account of
the feeble health of Mr.. Richards. The
record made by Mr.. Parker while en-
gagged in this work recommends him for
the nomination to this Office in which
he has served so long an apprenticeship.
Mr.. Parker is naturally careful man
and, while credited with being hustler
would be just to all who were brought
in contact with him in his official Ca
tpacity. Those who know him best be-
lieve that he would use his best efforts
and the best knowledge gained by his
eight years experience in the prosecu-
tors Office to administer the law wisely
and with as little expense to the
county as possible, and no one will be
disposed to deny that the prosecuting
attorney of any county can do more
than nearly any other official to keep
the expenses of the county down to a
reasonable figure.
Personally Mr.. Parker is a clean.
earnest, hard working young man, a
success socially as well as in his profess
sional work. He is an active member
of a number of fraternal organizations,
and is we'll known about the county,
and well liked. He has always been q
republican and has done his full share
Of party work during the different
campaigns. His claims for recognition
and the claims of his friends for him
along the lines suggested above are en-
titled to the consideration Of all repub
licans and are sure to be given attention
before the day for the holding of the
county convention is over.

TOO MUCH SUGAR
IN THE MARKET
willett & Grays circular has the fol-

Willett & Gray's circular has the fol-
lowing:
The week has developed an easier
tone, making it necessary for the few
sellers to make a further concession.
Sales were effected at 33sc. duty paid
for West India Centrifugals, SO deg.
test, on the spot, which could not be
repeated and brought out offerings at
&c. c. and f. for Cuba shipment equal
to 3 11-32c. per h.. duty paid. The
easier feeling is due to the heavy ar
rivals, with the prospect that the re-
ceipts for some time to come, from
Cuba alone, will be more than suffi-
cient for refiners' requirements.
Some planters need funds, and, as a
consequence, sugars are offered to re-
finers faster than needed, causing an
expense for carrying, which must be
offset by a reduction in price. There
is evidently too much sugar in the
world, the London market feeling the
effect of this, in a decline for the week
of 214d. to Sd. in beet sugar. Appar-
emily the return to normal prices can
only be brought about by a heavy re-
duction in European beet sowings this
spring. AT the close 10000 bags Cuba
Centrifugals for shipment were, placed
at &c. c. and f., basis Sc deg. test, equal
to 11-32c. duty paid, thus establishing
a define of 1sc. for the week.
REFINED.-Under a steady, fair de-
mand in the form of Withdrawals
against old contracts, quotations have
remained unchanged, and at the close
there are no signs of any immediate
change. New business, however, has
been light, in view of the weak market
for raws, the demand at the close, be-
ing on a hand to mouth basis.
