BOND BIDDERS
City's Issue of SOS. 900 Goes Begging
AT Three and One Half Per
Cent Rate.

May 5th was the day set for opening
the bids for the sale of the sixty-fye
thousand dollars bonds to be issued by
the city, but when the hour arrived
for opening them up at the Council
meeting, not one had been received,
except that one company offered TO
take them at AZ per cent par and give
a premium of $263l 90.
There were three gentlemen pres
ent however representing companies
from Toledo, Cincinnati and Chicago,
who were ready and anxious to bid on
them but stated that they could not
be sold at the low rate of 3l3 per cent
and were confident that no company
would make bid for them at that
figure.
new ordinance was passed placing
them at four per cent. the city re-
serving the right to pay these bonds
in twenty years if it saw fit to do $50,
and the clerk was instructed to adj
vertise again for bids TO be in May 10.

Rey. Sheehan VIII Preach sermon
and Dwight SheldoniDclivers Ad-
dress In M. T.. Church.

Memorial Day was inaugrated by
General John A. Logan, Commander
in-Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, thirty-seven years ago, in
a general order that all posts through
out the United States should deyote
one day to the strewing OF flowers on
the graves of their dead comrades.
For 4 few years this usage was con-
fined to the members of the G. A. II.
Little by little the custom has ex-
tended until today the 30th of May
has become the Nations festival of
remembrance, when a liberty loving
and happy people, enjoying the bless
ings of peace and prosperity, cease
from their labors and with grateful
hearts, pay loving tribute to the
memory of those, who, having finished
their course and crossed the star-lit
line, now rest peacefully under the
shade Of the trees on the eternal
camping ground. Memorial Day is
sacred to all American people.
Dan s. Root Post and the w. II. c.
have been invited to attend the Nj. +.
church on Memorial Sunday at which
service Rev. j. w. Sheehan will
preach the sermon
On May 30th, which is Decoration
day, the services will be held in the
Nj. +. church and Dwight G. Sheldon
will deliver the oration, after which
the cemeteries of the city will be Wis
tied and also the one at Cooks Cor
ners and Smyrna and the ceremonies
of decorating the graves with flags
and flowers carried out.

Morton Olmstead, a young man,
son of L. NJ. Olmstead, who is work
ing for j. NJ. York. was held up Mon
day night by two men and demand
made for his money. He took Mr..
York's team and carried Mrs. York
over to her fathers, Orrin Purdy,
and while returning at about nine
o'clock a short distance out from Or
leans village two men whom he bad
noticed just ahead of him, grabbed
the horses aud him also They went
through his pockets after asking him
if he had any money and found l5c
and a jack knife which they took.
They used him pretty roughly and
slit his pants with the knife and told
him to move on.
He arrived at the store of Mr.. York
badly scared and gave an account of
the occurrence.
Sheriff Fales was sent for and i'm
mediately came but no clue to the
bandits could be found.

PARK ADJUSTMENTS
It Will BE Like Old Times on the
Diamond.
Order Teams, High school
and city Boys VIII Cross Bats
This Season.

Arrangements have been made
whereby there will be something do
ing at Ellis Park every Saturday aft
ernoon during the coming summer
months. Base ball will be the order
and the fact that the players will all
be our home boys gives the occasion
and events an added interest which
will be highly appreciated 1t will
remind one of the days in the early
90ties when the silk mill and refrig-
orator boys were in their glory on the
base ball field with the close and in
teresting games that were played
every Saturday.
Since Ellis Park went into the hands
of John Donovan there has been a
movement on foot to arrange for
amusements at that popular place
and this week the problem has been
solved. The Knights of Pythias, Mac
cabees and Woodmen have each con-
sented TO organize ball team and
play schedule of games which haye
already been dated up to July 4th. A
city team and also the High school
team are included in the schedule and
the events will be looked forward to
with much interest, Occasionally an
outside team may be booked.
George W. Moultou has been elect
ed superintendent and general mana
ger of the association and each team
will have a captain.
In connection with these events it
is expected that big celebration will
be held here July 4th and it is hoped
the business men will take up the
matter at an early date and push it
along, there is talk also of the busi-
ness men arranging for Saturday eve
ming street amusements of some kind
to be given free to all every Saturday
evening from 80 to o'clock.
General Manager Moulton informs
us that the price of admission to the
ball grounds will be for gentlemen l5
cts. ladies l0cts. and the grand stand
privilege cents except on holidays
when it will be 10 cents. The first
game will be played Saturday May 20

Ten Years as Night watch.

Edwin Riker first appeared on our
streets as city nightwatc hman ten
years ago last Monday night and
from that time mp to the present he
has faithfully patrolled the business
portions of the City. He says he
has been out in all kinds Of weather
and passes good many lonesome
nights but is getting used to it now
and does not mind it as much as he
did the first few years OF his labor.
Ed says the long cold winter nights
are what he breads most.
The only company he has after
about eleven o'clock is his faithful
and knowing dog which seems to en-.
Joy the work and has become so ac-
customed to it that Ed can send him
through all the alleys and open sheds
in the city.

THE SANITARIUM
Press Outside of Belding Begins To
Talk About II.

DR.. A. B. Spinney has opened his
new sanitarlum at Belding and al
ready the institution has number
of patients. In an interview with
the doctor this week, he stated that
he expected 10 keep his sanitarium
open at Reed City for time at least,
where he has an able corps of exper-
fenced nurses, caring for a number of
patients. The Belding sanitarum is
is in the suburbs of the city and
"quiet reigns supreme"-a feature
very essential where the sick are to
be treated and cared for. The doc
tor, who continues to perform most
wonderful cures, is proud of the fact
that his Belding property with its
pleasant surroundings, will be one Of
the leading institutions of the kind in
the state when it is completed, He
is a very busy man and was in such a
hurry Tuesday morning TO reach his
new quarters, that he did not impart
full details to the Times relative to
the new sanitarium, home enter
prise backed up by one of the ablest
physicians in Western Michigan

the side door with no better success.
Then he tried the back door
Three minutes later the side door
was thrown open from the inside and
Jack stood smiling triumphantly on

Terry followed him into the low,
square sitting room, sinking with a cry
of pleasure into the big cushioned rock

They did their best, Jack sacrificing
himself nobly. But Betsy AIMS face
sobered when she came to clear away.

1t took all Terry's wiles and Jacks

Betsy Ann scorned the offer. 1T II

Terry retreated hastily. Jack linger-
ed to ask if he might smoke just one
cigar
Betsy Ann decided he might, Miss
Hannah being miles away. There d
be time to get the place aired out be-
fore she got back.
The dark came on early Jack kept

Terry sat quite still. In We dim FIRE
