church again, many of the children
carrying flags making an inspiring
scene. The features of the afternoon
program was the address of Dwight
c. Sheldon delivered to very large
audience which packed the church
and thronged the entrance way.
Mr. Sheldon's effort was an eXcep-
tionally good one, eloquent logical
and entirely free from bombast and
glittering generalities frequently
used by speakers on like occasions.
Several of the old veterans who
have heard many memorial orations,
say 1t was the best they ever heard
and were very complimentary in
praise of his fine address. The Gene
teries were visited and the solemn and
beautiful service of honoring the ma
tions dead with flowers strewn upon
their graves was completed.

FINE NEW BRIDGE
Pere Marquette Has Completed One
In this city. A much needed
IMPROVEMENT

The Pere Marquette railroad has
just completed fine new bridge in
this city over Flat river, to take the
place of the old one that has done
duty for so many years,
The new bridge is only 10 feet wide
while the old one was II feet, but
from the mechanical view it is a
dandy having been constructed in the
latest and most improved style of
architecture from the wooden bridge
standpoint. The walk which formerly
was along side of the bridge had to be
torn off and it remains for the city to
rebuild it. Inasmuch as large mum
Der of factory hands as well as many
others use the walk daily, it is hoped
it will be rebuilt, as there is large
amount of danger daily with people
trying to cross the bridge without the
aid of the walk.

FINE DAY OF SPORT
Decoration Day Program at Ellis
Park "a Good One.
Lots of Enthusiasm During all the
Various Results OF the
Contests.

If there was any one present at the
field day in Ellis Park on Decoration
Day that felt he failed to receive his
moneys worth, should at once call at
the Office of the manager and make
demand for his money back, and later
be transferred to the proper recepta-
Gle for members of the porcine family.
The afternoon was very cold and
many of those present felt the evil
effects of the cold breeze that pre-
vailed during the entire afternoon,
still only a few left the grounds until
the last contest was ended. The re-
suits of the various contests were as
follows:
100 yard dash, boys under 16-Morris
lst, Brennan 2nd.
so yard dash, boys under l2-Malone
lst, Price 2nd.
Standing broad jump, Bignell lst,
Higgins 2nd.
Running hop, step and jump, Hop
pough lst, Gleason 2nd.
Running broad jump Page lst,
Hoppough Ind.
High kick, Olds lst, Higgins End.
Hammer throw Hoppough lst,
Wagner End
Putting the SHOT, Hoppough lst,
Bignell 2nd.
440 yard dash, Bignell lst, Hoppough
2nd. In this race reliable timers with
stop watches say that Bignell made
his distance in 80 seconds, the inter
collegiate record being only four
fifths of second lower than the time
made by Bignell.
Standing hop, step and Jump, Glea-
son 1st. Spencer 2nd.
100 yd dash, Bignell lst, Tanner ID.
Half mile dash, there were six en-.
tries in this race and all went out to
the money. A good deal of interest
was centered on the finish inasmuch
as all of the contestants ran hard

be relieved by a young man named
Soules who came in and claimed the
race. The prize however was award
ed TO Bignell and as there was little
snide work in the race no second prize
was given.
The game of ball between the re
frigerators and Silk mill teams was a
warm one and although innings was
all that was played the visitors got
their moneys worth in this game
Both sides did as hard playing as they
could but the decision was given tc
the Silk mills by a score of to 5, the
batteries being, Silk mills, Wagner
Gildermeister and Nc Elroy. Refrig
orators, Drummond and Ellis.
The greatest sport of the day wa.
when the little black pig was turned
loose and the crowd of boys took aftei
it. The pig was one of Peep Upson',
best brand and showed signs OF mucl
practice in running and gave tn,
boys good race. George Carver wa
the lucky man to secure touch dowi
and brought the pig skin safe TO goa
being awarded the pig for his skill il
catching the slippery little fellow.

WORK PROGRESSING
The New Richardson Dam Is Being
Rushed To Completion, Will be
Finished before August 1

Our reporter paid visit to the new
dam at the Richardson mill the first
of the week and found everything
progressing in fine shape. A large
force of men we're engaged in driving
spiles and lot Of various other work
along the line of construction and
every move seemed to point in the
right direction.
In conversation with the manager
of construction, Mr.. John Potter, we
we're informed that the work was go.
ing along at a rapid rate and that
the new dam would dplt bass be COM
pleted before the first of August and
everything in readiness for the use of
the mighty power produced by the
hurried rush of the waters that now
90 surging down the stream uncheck-
ed at this point.
The dam, when completed will have
head of about eleven and one half
feet and will furnish a suitable force
for the handling of all power in that
portion of the city. 1t is to be con-
structed of cement and stone and
when completed will be as impregn-
able to the rushing waters as the
storied rocks of Gibralter

HONORED The DEAD
Decoration Day Most Fittingly
Observed.
Tributes of Honor In Song, speech
and Flowers TO the Nations
Defenders.

"Honor to whom honor is due" was
the text taken by Rev, w. II. Kindred
as the subject for his fine memorial
sermon preached Sunday morning in
the Disciple church.
There was very large congrega-
tion present, for every seat was
taken and gallery and aisles were
filled. Nearly 20 veterans of the civil
war and members of the w. r. c.
marched in with steady tread to
music of the church organ headed by
Commander j. Fl. Keeney and presi-
dent of the Corps, Mrs Mary f II.
Coville. The church was tastefully
hung with national colors. The choir
composed of members of the Baptist
and Disciple church choirs, singing
beautiful pieces of music appropriate
to the occasion
Mr.. Kindred was assisted in the SER
vice by Rey. II. N. Spear who read
the scripture and Rev. j. w. Sheehan
who offered fervent and eloquent
prayer.
The sermon was instructive and one
of the best ever delivered by the
speaker, il was historical and recount
ed the causes leading up to the civil
war, the great sacrifices necessarily
made in preserving the union of states
and the duty the living owe to the
honored dead
Exercises at smyrna.
On Decoration day members OF Dan
Root Post and the Woman's Relief
Corps were stirring early to be in
readiness for the exercises of the day
which began at Smyrna, the Post and
Corps meeting at $50 o'clock at the
residence of Maj. Frank r. Chase,
from which place they formed and
marched TO the church where the ser.
vices were held at 1890 o'clock Cen
eral orders were read and the ritual
istic work of the G.. A. II usual on
these occasions were carried out by
the officers charged with the duty.
Excellent music had been provided
for the occasion by the Smyrna choir
but on account of sickness of some of
the members, it was necessary for
that part of the program to be
omitted. The oration was given by
Rev J. w. Sheehan pastor of the M
f church of Belding, and 1t was one
of the most polished and eloquent dis
~ouraao avar baar rd thara
Mr. Sheehan had large audience
to talk to, the church being packed
and they we're at once captiyated by
the masterful manner in which he
handled the theme appropriate tc
the day and the occasion. A picnic
dinner was served on the lawn al
Frank Chase's and the closing cere
monies of the day were carried out In
visit to the cemeteries at smyrna

of the dead were decorated with fagi
and flowers

One of the finest gatherings In the
history of Orleans marked the occa

IN CLOSE QUARTERS
Claude Peider Had an Unpleasant Ex
yerience with Insane Criminal
at Ionia last week.

Claude Peifer returned to his home
in this city last week carrying his arm
in a sling as a result of rather un-
expected experience with an nnruly
prisoner at the Asylum for insane
criminals at Ionia, where he has
been employed for some time past.
A number of the employees at the
prison were engaged in disrobing a
man who had recectly been trans
ferred from Jackson and Claude was
engaged in removing his pants when
the prisoner drawing up his legs gave
him severe kick in the breast kick
ing him against an iron door frame
with such force as to break one of the
bones in his right arm.
Claude will remain in the city un
til he RECEIVERS the use of his arm and
in the future will watch out that they
don't get a similar chance at him.
