The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-07-01

The North Owosso Farmers Club
met last Friday with Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Stiles. Their large and pleas
ant house was we'll filled early In the
afternoon with friends and member
OF the club.
The meeting was called to order by
President Saver and after a prayer by
A. Robertson and a song by the club
the semi-annual election OF officers
took place and resulted as follows:
President-Charles Freeman.
Vice President-Mrs. l.. D. Carson.
Secretary-Mrs. +. Stiles.
Trelsurer-Mrs. VIM. Smith.
Director-E o. Place.
Chaplain-JOhn Willoughby.
The first on the program was song
entitled Roses" by Miss CLARA Smith
and chorus of girls.
The arst question was, Can our taxes
be diminished without endangering
our progress? Charles Freeman said
he thought it possible; not that there
are too many institutions but that the
expenses OF many OF the public insti-
tutions might be diminished.
e. o. Place said most certainly taxes
might be lessened. For example the
board OF supervisors spend so much
time, not all but some OF them do not
attend to the county's business with
as much dispatch as II it were their
own. They get three dollars per day.
Some one suggested that the mileage
paid to the sheriff is more than neces-
sary, but Mr.. Robertson thought the
sheriff deserves good fee as his life
is often In jeopardy.
Florence and Fern Greenwalt sang
pretty song, followed by piano solo
entitled, 1.-The Burning of Rome" by
Mrs. L. d. Carson. Mattiebell Get
man recited humorous selection,
"Boys may whistle, but girls must
sing"
This closed the program, which was
necessarily short on account OF the
election of officers. The remainder of
the questions will be discussed at the
next meeting which will be held at
the the home of Mr.. and Mrs. e O.
Place, July 49,
Program for next meeting was read
as follows:
Should we add the cooperative feat
ure to our club work?-C Greenwald,

Colored Clothes and Health.

The health value Of colored clothes
is infinitely superior to that Of sable
fabrics. You will find more microbes
to the square inch on dark than on
light garments. Black arrests the
health giving rays Of the sun. 1t is
strange that Nine. la Mode should turn
out to be only the high priestess Of
health in disguise and that the mi
crobes of Mayfair and the bacilli Of Bel
gravia should be more afraid Of but
terfy Of fashion than of sable coated
doctor of medicine.-Chic.

burned, took seven persons from a SIM

the work of rescue had been completed
and the flames had been brought under

the crowded flats and on the fourth
floor, they found six members of the
Knovitsch family dead.
On top of the building an unidenti-

Police Captain McDermott and the
firemen who first reached the burned

out by the statements of the janitor

WILL FIGHT AT MUKDEN
1t Is Thought That He Will Not
Decline Battle,

1t Is Thought That He will Not
Decline Battle.
St Petersburg. Sept 13.-The En-
peror last night received a long report
from Gen. Kuropatkin outlining the
military situation and the disposition
Of the Russian forces, and describing
minutely the strategical considerations.
1t is also understood that Gen. Kuro-
patkin dwelt lengthily on the political
aspect of the situation. The contents
of the report will not be published.
The authorities here are unanimous
ly of the opinion that Gen. Kuropatkin
will not be withdrawn from Mukden
without accepting battle. It is expect
ed that he will leave $4,000 men to
defend Mukden, while the remainder
of his army retires to Tie Pass. 1t is
believed that Gen. Kuropatkin has
over 100000 men.
The general staff said to-day that
since the battle of Lao Yang Gen.
Kuropatkin has been reinforced by
two army corps. 1t is supposed that
the achievements of artillery amount
to fully 300 guns.

New York. Sept. 13.-Seven persons
were burned to death and six others
were injured seriously in a fire which
partially destroyed a tenement build
ing at Nos $50 First street early to-
day.
More than twenty families were
asleep in the building and many acts
of bravery accompanied their rescue,
which was accomplished by firemen and
the police.
1t was shortly after ? o'clock when
the alarm was given. Within the few
moments that had elapsed the flames
were found to have gained great head
way from the first floor and the neigh
borhood was i'm a panic of terror. Wom-
en- and children were being dropped
from the windows of the lower floors
and dozens of grown persons were
fighting in the Railways to reach open
air.
A policeman clambered to the roof
of an adjoining building and by cling
ing to the cornice, with the smoke
pouring into his face, reached down to
the windows of the fifth floor and res
cued seven children who were handed
out by their parents.

head, entered the building from below

would probably be fortunate if he was
able to hold his ground.
The situation of the brigade on Gen.
Kurokfs extreme right became criti-
cal. 1t was thought that the Russians
might attempt to cut off Gen Kuroki
by a turning movement through the
gap between his and the fourth army
toward Anping. where the only Japa-
nese forces for several miles were
some regiments of cavalry patroling
the valley of the Taitse river. In the
course of the afternoon the prospects
frightened, and it rapidly became
known that a fresh brigade had rein
forced the right of the line. Gen. Ku-
roki concentrated his army by ordering
in the left division to reinforce the
troops then holding the front from Syk-
wantun TO the Five Headed hills"
The left division made a forced march
as fast as it could under the extreme
heat, crossing the Taitse river over a
pontoon bridge to the left of the hill,
where Gen. Kuroki had stationed him
self and pushing forward into the
plain. During all the 4th the firing
was suspended. ee
The silence and suspense came to an
end at o'clock in the evening. At this
hour the members of the staff became
galvanized into activity. Couriers gal
nounced that the army would begin the
pursuit of the enemy.
Close upon his words, the Japanese
batteries began a brisk pounding. The
left wing swept toward the railroad
and the entire line advanced. meeting
a lively rifle fire from the Russian
rear guard. To this. the Japanese re-
piled and the engagement was contin-
ued until nightfall
On Sunday morning Gen. Kuroki
rode forward to Heiyingtai hill. He
passed MANY mounds where fires
burned over the dead and hundreds
of fresh, hastily dug graves. The
fields had been trampled into boys by
the fighting men and were strewn with
the debris of both armies. The spec
tacle presented by Heyingtai hill has
seldom been equalled in any war The
top of this hill is less than a quarter of
a mile long, the crest of 1t, as well as
the slopes and ravines, was literally
honeycombed with trenches. bitches
and burrows for shelter. Trenches
and counter trenches ran in every di-
rection. testifying to the number of
attacks made and the different points
from which these assaults had been
attempted.

unpleasant one. 1t seems impossible
that any legislator would intro
duce bill into Congress, authorizing
them. Certainly, if anyone had the
hardwood to do it, the bill would meet
with an opposition that would make
the opposition to the United States
Bank in Iackson's time sink into in
significance. Aside from the fact that
such bill would jeopardize one of the
props of the government, there is a
widespread and. most salutary feeling
averse to the government engaging in
any business enterprise.
Advertising is the Remedy.
IF we fear or feel a loss of business
perhaps the best thing to do is to fol-
low the lead of other forms of bust
ness and advertise with intelligence
and as widely as circumstances will
allow and wisdom dictate
One matter deserving of careful
thought by us is the change in the
character of our investments. Govern
ment bonds at one time an important
item in our reports, now scarcely APP
pear. Such changes has been neces-
sary in order to maintain our rates of
interest but it is an open question if
the new investments have always Civ
en- to depositors that security that they
should have.
I'VE can discuss to good advantage
the laws relating to savings banks.
There has been for some years a de-
mand for law that shall be in force
in every. state. Such a law cannot be
passed by the federal government and
the task of framing a law that could
pass Legislature and would be suitable
for the peculiar conditions prevailing
in each state is appalling. Yet we
must realize that the savings bank
laws cannot be too strict AS the pur-
pose of savings banks is to care for
the money of people whose savings are
so small that they cannot be invested
profitably, or who do not have the
ability to invest them wisely, our
books should be open for any investi-
cation and our reports cannot be too
clear or full.
But in spite of the dangers that
may be about, we must derive from
the past history of savings banks most
happy auguries for the future. When
we remember that from 1898 to 1908 the
deposits in savings banks in the coun-
try increased nearly 5000, 000,0 we
shall feel little cause for alarm"
