ADJUSTMENTS

A musical treat is in store for the Local
lovers Of good and wholesome entertain
ment, for manager Hetherington has Sc
cured for one of his early attractions, the
rollickng three act musical farce comedy,
my Wife's Family the Stephens and
Linton musical comedy hit Of last season.
The comedy is full of ginger snap and ac-
ton so essential to musical show. There
is nothing serious about it. although there
is a consistent plot, a we'll told story; it is
replete with brilliant repartee and unlim-
tied laughable situations.
The large cast includes well known
comedians, pretty girls who know how to
sing and dance, any number of high class
specialties, while the production is correct

WILL GET DIVORCE
From Percy ID. Wells who IL Per-
fectty willing She should,

From Percy ID. Wells Who IL Per-
fectty willing She should,
Mrs. Maude M. Wells will set de-
cree from Percy D. Wells, western agent
for Allng q Cory, and well known
business man, upon charges OF cruelty
and ipfidelity The husband withdrew
his opposition to the divorce, and no more
evidence was introduced than suffIced to
make the decree certain.
Wells was in Montoalm csunty when a
year ago. his wife began her suit in the
local courts. A day or so later before
the sheriff could serve the papers upon
the husband. he heard Of the case and
promptly started divorce case against
his wife in the Montcalm court. He took
her LAWYERS oy surprise and the papers
we're served upon her before the writ
from the Detroi court was served on
Wells
The lawyers for the wife put in their
objections to the Montoalm suit, because
the Detroit action was started first, but
Judge Davis Of Montcalm assumed juris-
dction on the ground that there was no
service in the wife's case until afterward.
The Wayne circuit judges did not agree
with their Montoalm brothers ruling, and
the case went to the supreme court. That
tribunal declared that the Detroit suit
should stand and restrained the husband
from prosecuting his case further.
Mrs Wells BILL besides detailing in
stances of cruelty, said that her husband
has an income of $4,000 year and has
been in the habit Of allowing her S95 a
month besides her house rent and fuel, for
her support. He stopped her allow ance,
she declared and left her in want. She
also said Wells had given her $3.50
piano and when it was all paid for but $50
he had the dealers take it away from her.
The husband was also accused in the bill
Of getting other men to call her up by
telephone and invite her out to to cham
payne suppers and similar functions, for
ne purpose of injuunR her good name.
The husbands bill which was withdrawn,
also contained serious allegations against
the wife while they we're living in Green
vile. Mr.. Wells said he was perfectly
willing she should have the divorce,

THE SILK CITY
4 Writer in the Michigan Farm and
Live stock Journal Talks
About II.

The city of Bedding is one of the most
substantially built little cities that we
have visited. The business portion is on
the left bank in bend Of the Flat river.
Some Of the resident portion is on the
right bank. The general appearance be-
tokens generous prosperity and accumu-
ated wealth More than fifty years ago
the first dam in the river was built, a saw
mill erected and the place was called
Patterson's Mills. 1t was place of little
Importance, and only a few residence
houses were built.
Where the city now stands was the
farm owned by the senior Belding. On
this farm the Belding boys labored as
many other boys of the neighborhood did,
in the earlier days, clearing the land of
the native forest trees. The spirit of en-
terprse seemedto take root in their minds
and during the "fifties" they started out
as pack peddlers, selling goods known as
the Yankee notion" class, from house to
house. They met with success, and
bought horse and wagon and the two
alternated as to the use of the horse and
wagon, one useing it one week and the
other the next.
Among the various classes of goods
that the Belding Brothers handled, that Of
silk in its several forms seemed to have
special attraction. They made silk, its
manufacture and sale, special study.
As their profits accumulated they COM
menced the erection Of mills in various
parts of the country where water power
was available. Now they have factories
a. Rockville, Conn. North Hampton,
Mass; San Francisco, CAL, and Mon
treal Canada. In 1887 their first mill,
that of the Richardson company, was
built here on the Flat RIVER Suisse
quenty the other mills we're erected and
the naming of the place changed to that
Of Belding, and is know throughout the
country as the silk City" Of Michigan.
The mills employ considerably over one
thousand hands. mostly girls, and the APP
pearance around there at the closing hour
reminds one of bee hive From the
small beginnings mentioned, the business
Of the Bedding Brothers has grown until
they are recognized as multimilonaires
There are other minor factories in the
town. The Belding- HAL Manufacturing
company manufacture refrgerators, fold
ing tables, kitchen cabinets and stove
boards, The Ballou Basket Works, w.
H Fargo & Co manufacture Of shoes. and
there is branch Of the Grand Rapids
Box Factory.

HE WANTS $4,000
Albin Bruce Has Begun Suit ioI
That sum.
Against the Central Methodist
Church for Falling From Scaffold
Last April.

Albin Bruce, the man who fell from the
scaffold while at work decorating the
ceiling Of the Methodist church last March
and sustained severe injuries has begun
suit against the church laying his dam
ages at ten thousand dollars.
II will be remembered that Bruce in
company with several other workmen
came from Grand Rapids to decorate the
walls of the church and on the very day
they arrived after putting up the scaffold,
he stepped on plank which proved to be
defective and fell distance Of about 25
feet 10 the floor below.
AT the time his injuries were carefully
looked after by Drs Morris and Dutt and
before returning to Grand Rapids he
stated that no one was to blame for the
accident but himself.
After he began to recover he made de-
mands to the church officials staung he
should hold them responsible and asked
settlement. The board of trustees how
ever have not recognized his claim and
do not propose to make any concession,
feeling that they are in no way response
bic for the accident
The case has been commenced in the
circuit court in Grand Rapids, and Car
roll Kerwin and Hallway are his attor-
neys. The church has retained Dwight
C. Sheldon of this city and A D. Girls
void of Greenvile who say they are not
worrying over the matter of having to
nav the claim
