VOTE 1T STRAIGHT.
Put the Cross at the Top of Your
Ticket.

Put the Cross at the Top of Your
Ticket.
Republicans, should not neglect the
county ticket. You have placed the
candidates upon it, through the APP
pointed methods, and they are enti-
tied to your support, though not al
ways in accordance with your person
al choice. The Ionia County Repub-
licans never had better one in the
field. 1t is first class from top to bot
tom. Your choice would have been
the disappointment of your neighbours
choice. Such disappointments are
inevitable, hut only chaos and loss
can result from consulting them.
All fairness and all success demand
the support of every candidate who
is not personally unworthy. So, too,
faithfully support the Republican
nominees for congress, and those for
the legislature, on whom depend all
wise legislation, and perhaps also a
senator in congress. Support the ju-
dicial and state candidates, every
one of whom is worthy TO receive
every Republican vote cast at the
election, and support with equal
falthfulness the electors who are to
vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
1t always occurs that for personal
and peculiar reasons some of those
names are scratched, but what a
triiling with high and sacred trust
that is. 1t sometimes happens that
the electoral vote of state is in that
way divided. Vote faithfully foi
every name on the ticket.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS
A Bunch of Belding Young Men Got
Caught at their Depredations-Paid
Fine and Repaired Damages.

f1ne ana hepalreu Dhhdses.
Six of Belongs rising young men
who we're engaged in making a night
of Halloween were apprehended
while engaged in some of their depre-
dations in the vicinity of the Free
Methodist church on Monday night,
and on Tuesday morning were invited
to appear before Justice Moulton on
the charge of malicious destruction
of property.
The Judge gave the young men a
very good talking to and upon the
payment of one dollar fine apiece,
and the promise to replace the DAM
ages done by them they were allowed
to go in peace. A convenient clothes
line caught one of the fellows in the
neck as he was running and furnished
the officer with clue.
The streets of the city were alive
with young people up to late hour
Monday night and Bedlam seemed
let loose for the occasion. The or
binary depredations about the city
were not as many as in the ipast, but
the ghosts and hobgoblins we're de-
cidedly in evidence in all parts of the
city. A young lady named McCloud
was so seriously injured in one of the
rushes that she was carried into John
Donovan's store where it required a
free application of water 10 revive
her.

Another Mans Money.
The truth of the adage that the
way of the transgressor is hard was
verified on Monday of this week when
Ed " arren, we'll dressed, curly
headed stone mason who had been
stopping in this city for some time
past, was brought here from Edmore
by Deputy Sheriff Crawford charged
with stealing six dollars from the
pocket of Walter Griffith, a young
man who boarded at the home of Mrs.
Leslie Hale on the North side, wh.re
he had also been stopping of late.
Mr.. Griffith swore out warrant
for Warren and placed it in the
hands of Deputy Crawford to serve.
The local detective soon located his
man and on Tuesday morning ho was
taken before Justice Moultsn where
he plead guilty 10 the charge aud
was at once sentenced to sixty days
In the county Jail. Warren asked
the Justice to be as easy with him as
he could, claiming he was drunk when
be did the deed and that this was his
first offense against the laws of his
