THE COLORED GIANTS
Will Come Here Saturday, Sept.
18th, And Cross Bats.
IL VIII be Game worth Going a
Long Distance To witness.

There cannot possibly be any hitch
or failure in the appearance of the
Cuban and New York Giants on the
base ball diamond at Ellis Park, on
Saturday afternoon, September 18th,
as the contracts have been signed and
the agregations will certainly be in
the city on that date.
The teams are the strongest ever
organized in colored base ball circles
and their trip across the continent,
from New York to San Francisco,
during which six games only will be
played, is for the purpose of determ-
lining the championship.
A letter to the base ball association
here, from Buckner, the greatest COL
ored pitcher the world ever produced,
says he will play with the Cubans
Giants, and will be pleased to visit
Belding once more and show the
people here that he is still in control
of the ball both as to speed and his
rattlesnake curves which so bewilder
every batter who stands before him.

Plurality-A Gain over Last
Presidential Election

The Vermont state election was
held last Tuesday and much interest
throughout the United States center
ed in the probably results as it was
the first election of the presidential

it national significance as the dis.
closure of the respective strength OF

ed as prophetic of the situation
throughout the country on national
issues.
In every national campaign Yer
mont sets the Republican majority
ball rolling, creates enthusiasm for
the campaign work to follow and the
familiar saying, "as goes Vermont so
goes the union" is an incentive for
republicans throughout the nation to
put every state in line if possible.

publican state committee claims the

F. A. Washburn arrived home Sat-
urday from his trip east and left on
Monday with his son Harold for Chi
cago. Harold will go from there to
Goff, Idaho, where he will, like Ted

years, and he expects to have expert
ence in cattle herding and cattle
driving along the line of COW boy in
true western style. Incidentally, he
may pick upseveral sections OF govern.

engineering which he has gained in
the past year or two will be of great
assistance in locating it. He will

HOW IT LOOKS
In the Eyes of G.. j. Diekema
State Chairman.
Says Michigan Is safely Republican
Committee Headquarters
Opened Up.

Hon. G. j. Diekema of Holland, who
Is chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee in short inter
view recently had with him, gives
evidence that the prospects for a
large vote to be polled throughout the
state this'fall is assured, which means
Republican victory, the fact of its
being presidential year and the ma
tional campaign being on will bring
out an exceedingly large vote.
He thinks the present differences
relative to primary reform and an
tagonism to what is called "The Ma
chine" will adjust themselves as the
campaign progresses. He says
further in discussing political mat
ters: "The state central committee
has opened up headquarters in the
Majestic building, Detroit, and will
from now on keep things moving
The headquarters are in charge of d.
E. Award The speakers bureau will
be in charge of Henry M. Rose. We
intend to put mum Der of first class
speakers in the field, to make vigor-
GUS campaign. The speaking, how
ever, will not begin until the middle
of September.
Everything looks bright for Re-
publican victory. President Roose-
Welt will have tremendous majority.
Fred Warner will also have big one.
Of course there is an 'anti-machine'
cry In some parts of the state, but it
will not be serious. We have all
heard that before.
"As to primary election reform, the
Republicans will simply take the posi-
tion that they favor a moderate
measure that will bring about prac-
tical results, but oppose the radical
measure that is in operation only in
Democratic states.
"The voters of Michigan do not pro-
pose to take. a backward step. They
will support President Roosevelt and
the Republican administration hand
somely. A Republican legislature
will be elected and Senator Burrows
will be reelected"

AFTER GOOD ROADS
Highway West From Wright's Cor.
ners to Nichols Farm To be
Improved.

Farmers living along the highway
running west from c. G. Wright's
Corners to the Nichols farm are con
siderably interested at present in
having that stretch of road which is
about three-fourths of mile long put
in good shape for travel and for the
hauling of heavy loads. The rural
community all through that vicinity
who come to the Belding markets will
will reap benefit by the improve
ment. Subscription papers are being
circulated and many pledges are be
ing made for grading and graveling
the road, farmers especially those
who are large potato raisers and are
obliged to haul heavy loads to market
every year can afford to give literally
in cash and work for the much needed
improvement. 1t will be good thing
for our business men too.
1t is proposed to make the road bed
l6 feet wide with a heavy coat of
gravel and let the job out to con-
tractor.

BURIED TREASURE
Old Chief wabasis' Plant May Be
Located On Banks of Lake.

Located On Banks of Lake.
A hundred years ago or less old
Indian Chief Wabasis whose tribe
camped on the banks of Wabasis Lake
sold lot of land to the white man
and received more than $4,000 in
gold and silver coin in payment so the
legand runs. After securing the
money from the state he took it back
to camp and buried it near the base
of big black walnut tree or some
other place unknown to any one but
himself.
The tribe couldn't agree as to the
division of the money, and one day
when he and number of other In
dians was on their way to Lowell to
trade off their furs and baskets, an
alteration ensued near Bill Gardner's
old farm south of Smyrna and the old
chief was struck on the head with a
tommy hawk so hard that it killed
him. His secret died with him and
the money sill lies in the ground at
the lake, but just where is mystery,
it is supposed however, that it is with
in an arrow shot of the Wabasis club
Parties from Grand Rapids arrived
here last night and engaged Elmer
Cook to take them to the lake to seek
for the treasure, they had with them
instruments, charts and diagrams and
will make close investigation. Mr..
Cook is well acquainted with the lay
of the land out there and if the money
Is found will receive $500 of it.

heartily into the spirit and age of the
times, telling forests, clearing lands,

country buildings, they have erected
good substantial ones, made pleas

1t has been their ambition for a
number of years to be permitted to
live to celebrate their tiftieth ami

continued illness of Mr. Higgins, to-
gether with the severe illness of Mrs.
Samuel Cannon, their only daughter,
at that time, they found it impossible
to meet in the Spring Sept. 2, being
birthday anniversary of Mrs. Higgins
they invited their relatives and neigh
bors to help them celebrate the two
events jointly. About so partook of
the bounteous dinner provided by the
hostess and enjoyed the hospitality of
host and hostess. Although Mr.. Hig-
gins is still lying upon bed OF sick
ness, he welcomed the guests most
heartily his one disappointment being
that some OF his grandchildren we're
absent, their are seventeen in all,
eleven present, they with their par

words of welcome to his home. The
day was spent in renewing old &c.

Road Grading and Fixing,

Farmers and several business men
from this city who have occasion to
do considerable driving over the Or
leans road are wondering why, with
the amount of money expended a
few years ago in an attempt to i'm
prove it by graveling and grading the
line of highway isn't in better condi-
tion for travel. One man says the
trouble with that portion of it from
the city limits running east nearly to
Green's church, has recently been
badly patched up by inexperienced
labor, all the sand and sod from the
road side having been turned up into
the center, covering up the grave
entirely and spelling the road fol-
driving or hauling loads to market
1t Is bad mess he says and wonder:
If there isn't some way of calling out
the pathmaster and having it scrapet
down to the gravel again.

BOYS WERE SCARED
Caught Stealing Popcorn From John
Donovan's stand.

Last Monday evening John Dona-
van observed pair of small boys in
the act of stealing couple of sacks
of popcorn from the stand in front of
his store and took after the young
rascals and captured them.
He turned the lads over to officer
Ed. Riker who took them to the lock-
up and turned the key on them for a
short time, the little fellows were
very badly scared and it is safe to bet
that if they want popcorn after this
they will pay for it or go without
After a severe lecture they were al
lowed to 90.
