DEATH OF AN ACTOR
Cleo Goldman Smith of the Spooner
 Dramatic Company.

And for what then did Cleo Gold man Smith give his young life? Was it love of art? Was 1t ambition? Was it need? Would he have lived to arrest his malady but for that rash nights work? Or was he flying in the face Of fate in coming to Phoenix al all?
 These questions will naturally rise to the lips of those who knew him here and who can but regret the price he paid for his eudeavor to work here days calculated only to bring him rest.
 T. was q night in early June that the young actor assumed the part of the lawyer in the Spooner Dramatic conf Elny's presentation of Ben Bolt.

WHO WILL Be CHOSEN
SHERIFF FOR GRAT|OT? ?
That Is the Question That Is Wor-
rying Politicians.
B. c. BUTTON, OF ARCADIA,

When the voters Of Gratiot County 90

that time it is but natural to speculate
on the probable successful candidates.

number of followers.
The hardest fight for nomination at
the County Convention, to be held at
Ithaca next Tuesday, appears 10 be for
the Office OF sheriff. and the winner will
well deserve the plum, which now seems
to be in reach of the present under
sheriff. h. @. Button, who has an excel
lent record, and who has given perfect
satisfaction There are four other can
didates, f. b. Kille, of Ithaca; h. r.
Potter. of Hamilton, James w. McGrea-
nor. of Sumner, and @. II. Gum, Of
Ashley, who are all hustling for the
nomination, and each has good support.
Office Of register OF deeds John Watson
of st. Louis. appears to be the most
promising candidate, although Sidney
Beechler, of Newark, and d. G. Lock,
of North Shade, both have strong and
influential support.
The withdrawal of Charles Kerr, of
Elba, for representative, leaves only two
candida tes, Robert Miller, of Sevil lie
and Henry w. Sandell, OF Pine River,
in the field, although j. w. Holmes will
probably accept If the conv ention sees
fit to tender him the nomination.

newspapers have more to do in
bringing investment money into

to this very money which the

bringing in, who ridicule the
very idea of helping to keep up
