Rev. C. n. Hanks to Remain.

Last week THE TIMES commented on
the call which the Congregationalists OF
Calumet, had extended to Rev. G. H.
Hanks, of this city.
This week it has still more pleasant
comment to make on the same matter,
and that is to the effect that after Civ.
ing it careful consideration Mr.. Hanks
has decided to remain with his Owosso
congregation. The announcement was
made by him at the close of the morn.
ing service Sunday.
When the statement was made the
feelings of the congregation quickly
hovercame any traditional restraint they
may have felt and unmistakable ap-
plause was heard from every part of the
church. 1t was no more than might
have been expected however, from the
general tone of a memorial which had
been read during the service and which
is given herewith. 1t was read by Mr..
j. G. Shattuck and bore the signatures
of all members of the boards, of deacons
and of trustees as well as those of the
clerks and treasurers of both the church
and the church and society The me-
mortal is as follows
A MEMORIAL.
We the members OF the official boards OF the
First Congregational church OF Owosso, Michi.
gan, desire to present to the church for Its con.
sideration and action memorial, recting the
high regard and personal esteem we have for
our pastor, Rev. Carlos II. Hanks, and recogniz-
ing the va lue of his labors with us.
For more than six years he has labored
earnestly, faithfully and most effectively. His
services In the pulpit and his pastoral relations
have been equally acceptable, and conducive
to the well being and success not only OF the
church, but of moral and civic righteousness
In the community.
Over and above our veneratlon for him as a
minister is our admiration for him as a man,
who enters into the every day life OF his people
and sympathizes with them in all their inter.
ests, rejoicing with those who rejoice and
weeping with those who weep.
Statistics are not needed to demonstrate the
success OF this church under his pastorate.
Sufice IL to say that never in the history OF the
church, in a corresponding period of time, have
the services OF the church been attended by
such uniformly large audiences; never before
has there been such large increase In the
membership Of the church; never before have
the congregations so generously contributed to
the support OF the church and its benevolences
never before has there been o greater degree
OF harmony and unauimity Of feeling and activ-
ity among the members, nor stronger desire
to work together for the common good.
We, the officers of the church, therefore, are
desirous of making this publc acknowledge.
ment of our affection for the pastor and appre-
ciation OF his services, and wish to tender him,
on behalf OF the church this memorial and
with IT, express the hope that for many years
to come the present happy relations OF pastor
and people may continue, and that our work to-
gether may be blest in the advancement Of the
Kingdom Of our Lord and Master on the earth.

Common Council.

At the meeting of the common coun-
Gil on Monday evening, the police COM
mittee was directed to secure offices
for Municipal Justice McCaughna, who
will take his new position July A.
Aid. Lamb presented resolution re-
questing the board of public works to
install at the water works two new $50
horse power boilers and new pump,
which would raise 100000 gallons of
water every "a hours. BY vote of 6
to the resolution was put on the table.
The Saginaw short line electric fran
chise was also tabled.
The water works extensions in the
various wards which the council has
been endeavoring to pas, for some time,
finally went through, only Lamfrom
voting no.
Because of the fact that the special

er had not been properly prepared dia-
gram plats had not been fled the
work of reviewing it has gone over to
July 10.
The council ordered West Mason
street, between Washington and Water
streets, to be graveled. Nicholas John
son was gived the contract, at So per
week, for moving Fayette Square.
The bid of Robert Smith at s14 per
week for the sprinkling of the third dis

Cut The RIVE Out.

The present is favorable time to
cut the growing rye out of wheat, as
the rye is now much taller than the
wheat and easily cut out Farmers
like to get top prices for their wheat
and millers had much rather pay top
prices for good wheat than buy rye
mixture at discount. Even little
rye Injuries wheat for milling purposes,
and considerable percentage of it
spoils it entirely for flour making and
renders it fit only for feed.

The inquiry into the petition in bank
ruptcy of the banking house of M. l..
Stewart & Co. before Referee in Bank
ruptcy Lee Joslyn, of Bay City, began

Referee in Bankruptcy Lee Joslyn
called the meeting to order and spoke as
follows
"This is meeting of creditors called
to transact business which the creditors
must do. The principal business will
be the selection of trustee, who will
turn the property into cash and pay it
to you as soon as possible.
mo one but creditors can take any
part in selecting this trustee. The
creditors have right at this time to ex-
anime the bankrupt; any lawyer can
ask questions as creditor or repre-
sentative of creditors AS soon as the
checks can be drawn a dividend of pos.
sibly Is or 20 per cent-undoubtedly the
latter fgure-will be paid the 1400 OF

1t Was Deep Enough.

Bliss Carmen, the poet, tells
Harper's Weekly the following:
Once when a Boston man and
his wife were viewing a resort near
the Springfield river they went out
for a jaunt into the woods. In
some way the man fell into a small
stream, and as he was not swim
mer he found himself in consider
able difficulty. Fortunately, how
ever, the stream was not deep
His wife gave vent to a torrent o.
tears right into the stream. Al
this the unfortunate man evinced
fresh evidence of the rattles.
Looking up at his weeping wife
above him, he managed TO gasI
out:
For Heavens sake, stop weep
ing into the river, or 1 am lost,
It's deep enough already"

World Much Potter.

Terrell Transcript.
The world today is more polite
than it was even ten years ago.
You see it everywhere you go, III
the stores, in the counting houses,
on the trains, and even in the
churches. One wonders if the
change along this line is the result
of a change of heart, or if the
world has simply in late years
found out the Secret that politeness
can be commercialized, that it is
an asset. as practical as any ma
terial thing, as tangible as gooos,
easily convertible into dollars and
cents as a house an lot. Certain
it is that such is the case, but at
the same time one cannot help but
regret to look at the matter from
that standpoint there IS too much
of the material, too much of the
Jingle of the guinea" about it,
too much of the mechanical. Let
it be hoped that the change is
rather due to larger view of life,
a kindlier feeling toward others.

Dear Sir: Three gallons saved

Mr.. Hanford Plat of Bridge

The reason is, of course; they

japanese Marriage Laws.

Although Japan has revealed
herself as highly enlightened in so
many spheres of civilization, she
has not yet applied reformatory
principles to the institution of mar
riage.
There is as yet no such thing in
Japan as equality between the
sexes. The law relating to mar
rage recognizes no wrongs except
on the part of the wife, from whom
the husband may obtain divorce
by merely asserting that he is tired
of her, or upon any of the follow
ing grounds:
Disobedience, adultery, barren
ness, jealousy, physical antipathy,
talkativeness or theft.
When a girl is about to marry,
her mother impresses upon her va
rious rules of conduct to be follow
ed during her welded life. Some
of these are:
Always be amiable to your
mother-in-law end father-in-law.
Don't talk too much.
Get up early, go to bed late,
and never sleep in the afternoon.
Until you are so never mix in
crowds.
DO not consult fortune-tellers.
DO not wear tight clothes.
Be humble and polite.
Never allow yourself to be jeal-
Gus.
Even if your husband is in the
wrong, never get angry.
Never speak i'll of your neigh
bors.
Strict obedience to a husband
is a wife noblest virtue "

THE Monk Gibson trial in San
Antonio has been postponed on &C
count of the Fair. The reasons Civ
en- for postponement are that it will
be necessary to probably summon
1000 men, many of whom would
suffer business losses by their alb
sence at this particular time. 1t is
also desired to have the trial free
from excitement, and this would
be next to impossible with such
great crowds from every section OF
the state in the Alamo City. These
reasons are very good, but it is the
law everlasting delays that make
the crime for which Gibson is to
be tried, more numerous. To get a
postponement seems about the
easiest thing possible in Texas
when it should be the hardest

BANK LAYS TILE FLOOR

A new tile floor is being laid this
week by two men in the employ of a
Milwaukee firm, in the Wood County
National bank. The firm that has
the contract is the Milwaukee Tile
company. and two of their employees
began work Saturday on the laying of
the little stones that will make a
beautiful floor.
Ii is laid in four colors, with an at
tractive border, and will exist in the
lobby of the bank, and in the cashiers
office. The wor'- CT laying the little
stones was watched by number of
people Saturday, with interest. The
tiling is laid in a sort of cement and
then pressed together and down to
make it level. 1t was laid over the
old floor and when completed, will
make the neateSt and most attractive
flooring of any business building in
the city.

A VISIT TO A
GRANITE=WORKING MILL

At granite heights, little village a
few. miles north of Wausau, is a most
interesting manufacturing establish
ment. 1t is the granite works of
Andersons Bros. and johnson. 1t is
from this plant that much of the
polished red granite used in this city
and elsewhere for monuments, fancy
columns etc. is received. A good
sample of the work recently brought
to this city is the corner stone OF the
new Baptist church. The company
do not depend for their stock upon
bOulderS as is sometimes done, but
quarry their material from a bed of
solid granite. On account of the ex.
treme hardness of the rock, quarrying
is slow and expensive process, but is
repaid by the superior quality of stock
secured. While being shown about
the plaut on recent visit the writer
was Informed by Manager Norlund
that they had orders for seven
Thousand dollars worth of work that
must be turned out by October l. A
force of thirty-eight men were
employed at that time, including
twelve stone cutters who receive from
three and a half to four and half
dollars day of eight hours.
The mill runs eight polishing
machines where the stone is made
smooth and receives a high mirror
like polish. Also two polishing
lathes for finishing columns, and one
immense turning lathe capable of
handling column two feet in
diameter and twelve feet in length.
In smithy near by an expert smith
and his helper are kept busy sharpen
ing drills and stone cutting tools.
Much of the chiseling and the letter
ing is done by powerfully driven
pneumatic tools. The manager stated
that last year they shipped five
hundred and fifty tons of monument
granite, nearly all of it being finished
work ready TO set up.

MOVING ISLAND STOPPED

The moving island that attracted
quite a number up the river some
time ago, has now stopped it's migrat-
ion and is as still and staid as any of
the small islands that till the upper
Wisconsin river. Since the last
account of it's movements, it has
moved distance of only one foot,
and now is stopped. The cause for
this is two fold.
1t appears that the bottom of the
little island has caught on an old
stump or root of tree, and is moored
So strongly that the force of the
water is not great enough to dislodge
it. Again, the island has drifted
into stiller water, and where an eddy
ing current strikes it from the front,
and prevents its further travels Now
that the water is lower, the island
protrudes further above the water,
and its composition can be more
readily seen. 1t is made up of saw
dust, wood mill refuse, and old pulp,
all in a decayed state, and is soft and
spongy, which accounts for it's being
able to float.
Since the first noting of the move
ments made by the little island, it
has moved in all "A feet down stream
and nearly fifteen feet nearer shore
and into the eddying current that
beats up the east shore of the big
island. No record of its movement
has been made since the owner of the
excursion launch left the river, but
his marking sticks are still stuck in
the river bed, and show that the
island has stopped. 1t is highly
probable that when the high water
comes next spring, the curiosity will
be raised above its obstruction and
will continue its migratory career.

laid. The three women named, with
Mrs. Z. A. Lipke, will constitute the
