Persons ON Main street were star.
tied one afternoon last week by the
spectacle Of runaway double team.
Two splendid grays from Mr.. John
Sheridan's livery stable took fright
up town and fed through Main street
at break-Deck speed. The sole occu-
pant Of the buggy was small boy,

with nerve and precision. He kept
. them free from distractions during
the perilous run and finally stopped
them on the Institute Hill near the
Mess Hall. He drove the horses back
to the stable, the animals being
thoroughly subdued.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT the
ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING

What was perhaps the largest
attended and most enthusiastic an
nuaI school meeting ever held in
Grand Rapids convened at the Howe
building Monday evening. From
cellar to garret" is perhaps the best
way Of expressing the attendance,
and even standing room was at
premium. 1t was d representative
gathering and the participants seemed
to be all of one mind, there not being
any opposition to the old members of
the board, they all being reelected by a
unanimous voice, removing every yes
tige of doubt as to how the voters felt
and believed regarding the integrity
and honesty of their public school
servants. The recent charges of
dishonesty and graft made by the
Cooley EmmonS Contamination was
in large measure responsible for the
large attendance, as the people in the
face of all the published facts and the
frankneSs of the school board in it's
dealings with the public, desired to
register their approval of the boards
