The COMING EVENTS
Cast Their Shadows Before
Kitchen Showers Numerous
Brides To Be Are Entertained By
Young L9dy Friends In IA sub
stantial Way.
EDITH KNAPP sHowERED.

A most happy social event was that al
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. L A. Rowley
on Saturday afternoon last. which took
the form of kitchen shower rendered
Miss Edith Knapp by her numerous
friends in that part of the city.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
berries being largely used in decoration
which fact Miss Knapps friends will
now readily interpret.
Mrs Rowley and Miss Knapp received
the guests as they arrived until fifty
ladies had gathered with such hearty
expressions of love and esteem that Miss
Knapp must have indeed felt that the old
adage was wrong and should have read
Coming events cast their sunshine" in
stead Of shadows.
Following pleasant social hour Miss
Knapp was escorted to seat beneath a
uniquely decorated canopy at one corner
of the parlor, and there presented by Miss
Loretta Divine with the gifts OF the after
noon. each accompanied by short orig
inal poem, which the brde-elec was re-
quested 10 read. and which she proceeded
to do in manner eminently pleasing to
the company. The gifts were numerous
and of character to fill many want
dear to housekeeper's heart and will
stand for years as reminders of "Beld-
ing Shower" while the poems will make a
neat little collection by themselves. Re-
freshments were served and the COM
pany separated with many good wish
for Miss Knapp and the feeling that this
had proven another of those occasions

DOUBLE SHOWER.
The Citizens Telephone Co. of this city
has always been acknowledged to haye
an up-to-date force. A No. | in every re-

to two of their number, the Misses Lulu
McElroy and Cora Robinson. last Thurs
day evening. when they accepted an invi-
tation to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Watson. and upon their arrival found
themselves quite the guests of honor with
the rest of the force as entertainers.
The first of the evening was passed
with entertaining games, and then came
the shower, double shower, and how it
rained tnware, enamel ware and many
kinds of ware accompanied with original
poems galore which they were requested
to read, and did read, creating great
amount Of fun.
1t was merry, happy evening; refresh

young ladies who have allowed them

that even the telephone and its familiar
hello is soon to lose its hold upon them
and become but a memory Of the past, but

force will ever have warm place ia their
hearts and the gifts of the evening will

PROF. SIXSMITH
Strenuous Physical Culture En-
else Put Him Into Trouble.
GIVES HULL LESSON
Mob Got After Him and He Quit the
city Which Ended Disgraceful
Affair.

The physical culture artist Prof, VIM.
X. Slxsmith, who conducted class in
this city last week for So, SIS and $40
the course, created disturbance in the
basement of Hotel Belding Tuesday
morning which led up to a demonstration
not entirely in keeping with the science OF
physical culture in its broader and high
est sense.
Mr. Hull entered the hotel in the morn
ing about nine o'clock and went to the
toilet in the basement Sixsmith soor fol-
lowed him and shortly after disturb
ance was heard by the guests in the office
with vigorous cries for help, help" emin
atng from the toilet room. A rush was
made for the place by Mr.. Bracken and
others, when they were met by Mr.. Hull,
who had been struck several times by
the pugilist in the face and it was bleed
ing,
When Sixsmith appeared in the office
Mr.. Bracken gave him calling down and
also to understand that he wanted no dis
turbance from him and while a phone
message was being sent to Deputy Sher-
ff Crawford to come and arrest him, he
skipped out and made his way across the
bridge and it was supposed he had left the
city
What Hull Says.
Mr.. Hull says Sixsmth agreed to take
diamond ring if he would Join his class
and pay him the difference between the
tuition and the price of the ring He did
not stand by his agreement and further
more wanted Hull to assume Mr.. Waldo,
his clerks tuition for the course which he
(Waldo) did not take. The controversy in
the toilet room was in reference to the
contract and Sxsmith demanded pay
ment. Hull refused TO pay other than
according to agreement. The .pugst
made a pass for it, at the same time
striking him singing blow in the mouth,
following it up by several others which
knocked him down in a manner altogether
foreign TO the finished points Of physical
culture science.
Had Mr.. Hull not been taken at dis
advantage and unawares Mr.. Sixsmith
might have received an upper cut on the
left eye or solar plexus blow from his
pupil. who only took three lessons, which
undoubtedly would have surprised him,
although Mr.. Hull is not pugilistlc and
never had a scrap in his life.
The Mob with Eggs.
Sixsmith didn't leave the city as was
supposed. and made his appearance on
Main street about eleven o'clock. His
encounter with Hull had been the talk of
the town and number of boys proposed
to egg him. He happened to drop into
Peck's shoe store and very soon the
crowd gathered in front and became noisy
and demonstrative and he took in the sit
uation at once, telling Peck that the boys
evidently had it in for him
Sxsmith stepped out of the door and
said he would take any two of them but
wouldn't stand for eggs, a volley of them

FROM EARLY DAYS
Mrs Hattie Weaver of Liberty street
IL Proud Possessor of Two Well
Preserved Relics.


Away back in the ear history Of
Michigan. John Jacob Astor, later one of
the great millionaires of this country. ran
trading station on Mackinaw Island
and had quite a large hotel or boarding
house in that part of the country About
the year 1912 according to the reports
given US by Mrs. Hattie Weaver. the
house was closed and the furniture. which
was part of the hotel equipment. was
disposed Of at any old price to the people
who lived in that section of the country.
Among the relics of those early days
two well made chairs that were used in
the dining room were sold to one of the
squaws who at that time occupied that
portion Of Michigan. A grand daughter
of the squaw who first bought them. sold
them to Mrs Weaver WHO had them
carefully Vanished and upholstered and
now takes great delight in showing them
to those who call at her home. They
were certainly well made to withstand
the strain Of almost century and still be
able to answer the purpose for which they
were originally intended.

Pulaski, Tenn. Jan. 6.-The bill

amend the charter Of Pulaski by con.
ferring authority on the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen to put the tax

Owing to the loss of tie revenue
from saloon licenses there will be
deficit fol 1904 In the municipal treas

municipal authorities to put the levy
at 1926 unless necessary, but the
present levy does not admit OF any
additions to the sinking fund which
the new charter requires for the grad

debt is about $50, 600. Some raise VIII

sinking fund, and the Board passed a
