est to the public as well as to the car

firm or corporation and shall not, during

provided, that said carriers may
carry merchandise for hire for and upon
the request of patrons residing upon
their respective routes whenever the
same shall not interfere with the proper
discharge of their official duties and
under such regulations as the postmast-
er general may prescribe"
All such must be paid for by patrons

ceive compensation from tie seller of
merchandise. Carriers are not permit
ted to carry spirituous liquor either for

modation of their patrons, and they are

Death Of Harriet West Learned.

Mrs. Harriet West Learned died Sun
day noon at the home Of her aunt, Mrs.
H. w. Holman She had been i'll since
the second Of April when she was taken
sick with peritonitis. The funeral SER
vices were held at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert West, 41S Adams street,
Wednesday afternoon at half past two
o'clock, Rev. Carlos H Hanks officiat
ing.
Mrs. Learned was born in South Da-
kota June 10, 1880, but for the ten years
preceding her death she has in every
way occupied the position of beloved
daughter in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert West. She became an active
worker in the Congregational church, of
this city and was one of the best work
ers in the Christian Endeavor society
and the Sunday school as we'll. In the
home into which she was taken her re-
lations could not have been told from
those of an own daughter. On every
hand she was respected and by all who
knew her best was loved as well.
Two years ago on the 10Th of the
month just past she was united in mar
riage with Frank X. Learned, of Detroit,
and moved to that city with him. In
Detroit she entered into the social life
of the circles which she met with the
same spirit which had made her so well
liked at home and became favorite.
After the death of her uncle, Mr.. H. w.
Holman, last February she came back
to stay with her aunt, Mrs. Holman,
and after that time until she herself
was taken sick, did all in her power to
comfort her and make her sorrow the
| lighter. After she was taken sick every
thing that could be done was done for
her, but not being Of naturally strong
constitution she failed to Withstand the
disease.
The sympathy Of the many Owosso
friends of the family are extended both
to Mr.. and Mrs. West and Mrs. Holman
and other relatives, but especially to the
young husband whose devotion to his
wife during her illness has been of the
most untiring and the most beautiful.

The Largest Benefit To The Town.

The trustees of the estate of the late
George L. Seeley, of Mount Pleasant,
Ia, will erect building for the Y. M.
G. A. to cost $4,000. The citizens
of the town have met the conditions
named by the trustees, which were that
they provide, for maintenance for five
years, sum equal to per cent per an
mum of the amount invested in the
building and improvements. This AS
sociation will also have manual train
ing department for boys, as well as the
usual equipment of city Association.
The trustees were instructed by the
will to erect building for the institu-
ton which in their Judgment would
promise to be of the largest benefit to
the town. After making a careful
study of the situation and the needs of
the town, they have decided upon the
Young Mems Christian Association as
the institution which would prove of
the largest public benefit.

Mrs. Collins Sentenced.

Mrs Caroline Collins was sentenced
Monday noon by Judge Smith to hard
labor for life in Jackson prison, for the
murder Of her hired man, George Leach
man. The hour Of her arraingment was
not known and only few people were
present when sentence was pronounced.
On request of the court, Mrs. Collins
stood up in her place. When asked if
she had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced the woman
replied in voice which did not tremble:
II am not guilty. That is all have
to say. am an innocent woman, so
help me Godp'
The court replied: "The jury have
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and it is the sentence of this court
that you be confined at solitary confne-
ment at hard labor in the state prison of
Jackson, this state, for and during the
remainder of your life from and includ-
ing this day."
Unmoved, the prisoner sat down. Her
attorney moved for a stay of proceed
ings, so that motion for a new trial
might be prepared, but his request was
refused by Judge Smith.

Jackson, Mrs. Collins was taken to
jackson only as mere formality on
Wednesday and later will be removed
