Death by Drowning.

Alice, five year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Davis, of Howell, and
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome
j. Davis, of this city, was drowned in
the Shiawassee river on Monday morn
ing, having fallen into the W alter from
the end of Mr.. Davis yard, which abuts
the river.
The child's body was seen floating
under the Mulberry street bridge by
Fred Osmer, but had rounded the first
bend in the river near Chapman street,
before being taken from the water by
Jonah Hall and Albert Osmer. The re-
mains were taken to the home of Mrs.
G. E. Shepard, north Chapman street,
where DIR. Arnold made fruitless efforts
to restore life.
Little Alice was suffering from hip
disease and had been here since Thanks
giving undergoing treatment. Mrs.
Davis had cautioned the child not to go
near the water. Alice was bright
little girl and her early death is keenly
regretted.
The funeral services were held We'd
nesday, Rev. R. o. Cooper officiating.

Sugar Beet Notes.

The Sanilac Sugar Refining company
has experienced good luck in securing
acreage for beets this season, and with
good weather the factory is assured a
good season.
The Mt. Clemens factory has secured
large acreage. All the beets grown
under contracts taken by the Detroit
Sugar Company of Rochester, will be
run through the Mt. Clemens factory.
There will be 1900 acres of beets grown.
The Rochester factory is to be moved to
some other locality. $3.50
The German American Sugar COM
pany of West Bay City, is reported to
have practically secured its full quota
of beet acreage for the next campaign.
Congressman Fordney showed by
figures the other day that the sugar
trust is deriving the entire benefit of the
20 per cent reduction in Cuban sugar
imported under the provisions of the
reciprocity. This will make profit to
the trust of something like $1,000, 900.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-05-06

Some mild speculation exists as to
who will be selected by the democrats
to oppose Congressman Fordney in the
congressional contest in this district.
Not single name has thus far been
mentioned, and diligentinquiry has thus
far failed to locate person who wants
the nomination. Indeed, some demo-
Gratis are reported as being in favor Of
endorsing Mr.. .Fordney, and thus max
ing it unanimous. If there is any demo
crat hankering to go out after Joe
there will be little objection in the
democratic ranks to giving him the
chance, since everyone recognizes the
hopelessness of attempting to defeat
him. -Saginaw Courier-Herald.

Reception to Rev. Carlo. II. Hanks.

The members Of the Congregational
Social Union gave a reception in the
church parlors Friday evening in honor
of the pastor, Rev. Carlos Fl. Hanks,
the occasion being the completion OF his
first five years of service as pastor in
this city The reception rooms were
handsomely decorated with flags and
palms and, as they always do on such
occasions, were both homelike and
charming in their appearance.
Both in point of numbers Of those
who called and in every other way as a
social function the reception was a
most pleasing one and an entire success.
In the receiving line with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hanks were the members of the boards
of deacons and trustees with their wives
A very large attendance of the member
ship of the church and congregation
was out and many representative out
side citizens also called to extend their
congratulations and express their
wishes for successful years to come. A
pleasant feature of the evening was the
charge made on the receiving line by the
members of Company HI who attended
in body to pay their respects to their
chaplain. 1t was compliment which
was much appreciated by Mr.. Hanks,
who is one of the, most popular chap
lains in the service of this or any other
state, and was appreciated by the mem
bers of the church as we'll, who enjoyed
seeing their pastor receive such evil
dences of appreciation on the part of the

Possible Presidential Nominee.

"That Judge Parker is not likely to
be nominated for president at the st.
Louis convention and that Charles A.
Towne, of New York, may be is the
interesting suggestion that comes from
Senator German, says Walter Wellman
in the Chicago Record Herald.
He says:
"Will Charley Towne try to be the
Bryan of the 1904 convention? Some
of his friends think he will. He is a
Tammany delegate to the st. Louis con-
vention, and of course is instructed for
Parker. But Parker instructions will
not prevent him making speech. And
if he gets a chance to talk to that con-
vention he may do just what his friend
Bryan did at Chicago in 1s96--charm,
magnetic, fascinate, hypnotic 10000
people, and make himself the nominee
in whirl. At any rate, Mr.. Towne is
man we will have to keep our eyes on
henceforth.

Congressman Gardner and Darragh
were renominated Tuesday by acclama-
tion. Michigan's position in the next
congress will be stronger than ever as
the delegation, with the possible excep-
tion of the first district, will be repre-
scented by men who have served from
one to five terms already. 1t is certain
ly to be hoped that the first district will
elect a republican this year.

cease to be seen or heard; not for one
hundred years will this ceremony be
again performed, but we can feel as
sured of one fact. that when, in dis
tant age, cornerstone shall be laid
for another court house for this coun-
ty, they who place it, in contemplate
ing the reverend structure here begun,
will glory in and emulate their fathers.
Every human action gains in honor
and grace, in all true magnifcence,
by its regard for things that are to
come, and there is no action or art
whose majesty we may not measure
by this test.
Therefore, when we build let us
think that we build forever; not for
present delight or present use. Let it
be such work as our descendants will
thank us for, and let us think, as we
lay stone upon stone, that time will
come when those stones will be held
sacred because our hands have touched
them, and that men will say as they
look upon the labor and wrought sub
stance Of them, "See this our fathers
did for u.s."
The greatest glory of building is
not in its gold or in its stones. Its
greatest glory is in its age. Its solid
and shapely walls stand firm and I'M
haken by the passing waves Of hui
mainly, lasting witness against men,
in quiet contrast with the transitional
character Of all things surrounding it,
through lapse of seasons and times,
the changing of the face of the earth
and the limits Of the sea.
1t is in that golden stain of time
that we are to look for the real light
and color and preciousness of archi-
lecture, and it is not until building
has assumed this character, till it has
been entrusted with the fame and hal
lowed by the deeds of men, till it's
walls have been witness Of suffering
and its pillars have risen out Of the
shadow of death that it's existence,
more lasting than the natural objects
around it, can be gifted with even so
much as these possess of language and
life.
In ancient times such a ceremony as
this was not merely a political act. 1t
was a divine conservation. In Rome
the capital Of the state was also a tenn
pie; the gods inhabited it; their affairs
were there. The Roman fathers were
not only soldiers and statesmen, they
were also priests. The building repre-
scented the indestructibility of the Ro-
man state and the eternity of its spir-
itual faith.
The statesman and priest have
ceased to be identical, but the faith
has survived in a purer form, and it
teaches men no lesson more impressive
than this-that God protects those peo-
pie who govern in righteousness and
brings to nothingness the beauty of
excellence Of them that go the op-
pressoTs way.
The identity of faith and patriotism
still remains. Therefore we this day
dedicate and consecrate this granite
pile in the name of this county, and
invoke upon 1t the favor and protec-
ton of Almighty God.
