spriggs Almost Nominated.

The Socialist party of the 5th congress
i,nal district met in Grand Rapids last
Saturday and nominated John E. Nlcle,
Of that city for congressman. There
were three candidates proposed for the
place, John E. Nlcle of Grand Rapids.
John J. Spriggs of Belding and 0. j
Hansen of Holland.
1t took four ballots to decide the question
nine were for Nicle six for Hansen and
five for Spriggs. The last ballot three OF
the Hansen men swung to Ncle and
settled the question. Most Of the Hansen
men we're favorable to Sprlggs and were
on the point Of throwing their support to
him out by shrewd wire pulling they we're
won over to the Grand Rapids man. II
was argued that the candidate should
come from the home city OF Vim. Alden
Smith to successfully cope with him for
the position.
The general opinion among the delegates
was that the party would show up strong
ly in the contest, and that, as one OF the
delegates expressed it, MARK Hanna S
prediction that there would be only two
parties in this country, the Republicans
and the Socialists. is to be realized in the

STROKE WAS FATAL
Joseph Cobb Passed Quietly Away
without Regaining Consciousness.

Joseph Cobb Passed Quietly Away
without Regaining Consciousness.
Joseph Cobb, who was stricken so sud-
denly and unexpectedly with paralysis
Saturday morning. July 28th. died last
Thursday evening at about ten o'clock not
having gained consciousness sufficient to
speak after he had said to his wife while
she was assisting him from the barn
where he was stricken, 81 am gone" F."
Those we're his last words, the only indi-
cations afterwards that he realized any
thing was slight pressure of the hand
when asked question.
Mr.. Cobb passed peacefully and quietly
away surrounded by his family who were
present at the last hour of his life.
Joseph Cobb was born in the state Of
New Jersey in 1883, and with his parents
moved to the state Of New York and in
the year 1854 at the age of 81 years he
married Louisa Curtis.
In the year 1860 they together moved
to Michigan to seek home and first set
tied in the township of Easton from there
moving to Orleans where they operated a
farm for several years and finally sold
out, coming to Otisco township where he
has resided in Belding and vicinity for
about 25 years, and has seen this city de-
velop from very small hamlet to its
present growth.
Mr.. Cobb enlisted shortly after the civil
war broke out and was member Of the
End Michigan Infantry and remained unit

HAD A VERY
CLOSE CALL
George Kinsman Did on Sat
urday Last.
Was Badly Burned on his Face and
Hands By Explosion Cas-
oIine stove.

The alarm of fire last Saturday moor
was occasioned by the explosion Of a gas
oline stove in a house located near the
Ashfleld boarding house. The fire COM
pany responded promptly and but little
damage was done to the house and con-
tents, which was occupied by George
Kinsman, about $40 damage being done
to the furniture and the paper on the wal
was burned almost entirely from TIE
room.
Mr.. Kinsman, however, who happened
to be at home at the time, Jared much
worse than the house and contents. His
left hand was shockingly burned to the
wrist, the right hand badly burned and
his face and neck are still mass of blis-
ters as result Of his encounter with the
deadly flames. In conversation with our
reporter yesterday Mr.. Kinsman said he
considered himself lucky to be alive and
that he had the hottest time Of his life
during the exciting moments of the con-
flagraton.

FAST FORGING AHEAD

Maccabees of the World To Become
the Greatest Fraternal order.
About two years ago Mr. Gillette, dep
uty supreme oommander-in-chief Of the
Maccabees of the World came to Beldne
and established tent Of that order here.
Lack of enthusiasm on the part Of some
of the members allowed the order to drop
down considerable from its original status
but goodly number Of the charter mem
bers, realizing the unquestioned advantage
to be gained by carrying a policy in this
fraternal brotherhood, have held on to the
policies acquired at that time.
This week the supreme tent has sent to
this city W. p Turgi, another deputy su
preme commander, with instructions to
get every available person to join one OF
the greatest fraternal orders in America
and his work is already beginning to bear
fruit. The Knights Of the Macca bees Of
the World has over 5000 subordinate
tents scattered promscuously through the
country and has paid over S2o,ooo,ooo to
disabled members and families of deceased
members, which in itself is a record tc
be proud off, Nor is this all; during the
existence Of the order it has built up q
magnificent reserve fund for protection
during the later years Of its earlier mem
bers, amounting in round numbers to over
S5,5oo,ooo. Any Of our readers who de
sire insurance Of the kind that insures, no
for day or year, but for lifetime, vii
do well to call on Mr.. Turgi, or give the
names to some member of the order. ]
you are looking for fraterna insurance
you can find nothing better than that Of.
fered by the Knights Of the Macca bees 0

The GIRLS
HAVE fine HOUSE
Mill Boarding Houses are Models
OF Neatness
as Good as the Best
Hotel at Very low Rates
Are Well Managed

The Detroit tNews-Trbune recently con
tanned write up Of the silk mills in this
city written by reporter sent here for
that porpose, regarding the boarding
houses it says:
There is code Of rules for the hotels
that has been lkened to the code for q
female seminary and the purpose is the
same-to keep the moral atmosphere
clean. Each hotel is in charge of mat
ron, who has been an old employe in the
mills. The matron, for instance. Of the
newest and largest, Belrockton-so named
from the first syllable of Belding, the first
syllable of Rockville and the third syllable
of Northampton presided over by Miss
Mille Zieman, who was long the Beldine
Bros. Co. head spooler. All outside doors
must be locked at $50 at night and all
lights extinguished by 10 o'clock. All the
young women are requh ed to be in at the
closing hour, but any one desiring to at
tend any entertainment or spend the even
ing with friends, and who expects to be
unable to reach the house before the clos
ing hour, can obtain pass from the mat
ron.
Some S years ago the Belding Bros
company built at a cost of $4,000 a
brick and sandstone soriorty-like home
for the young women employees. They
named the Ashfield for the Massachusetts
town where they were born. Last season
they built another, pressed brick ana terra
Gotta the Belrocton, which cost S55ooo.
The Richardson company has also built
one. Here for a rate of SO to $40 a
week, the young women get better board
and rooms and all-round accommodations
than the general run of So day hotels
furnish travellers. Living at the company
hotels is entirely matter of choice with
the young women. Not more than one
third of the 1000 or so actually do, for
the capacity Of the three does not exceed
$50. Although everything for the hotel
is bought at wholesale prices, the So TO
$2.40 rates do not cover the expense of
conducting them. Still the annual defic
iency is reckoned part of the necessary
outlay to make the young women content
ed in a small town that is strange to SO
many OF them. About twenty per cent Of
the mill employees are men, However,
the only men employed around any Of the
hotels is the steward and one other who
attends to the furnace and does the heavy
work of various sorts.
Each Of the hotels stands on knoll.
is furnished with all the modern conven-
fences, such as steam heat, hot and colo
running water. half dozen or more baths
on every floor, electric lights, gas, pianos,
libraries and reading rooms supplied with
light literature, and monthly and weekly
periodicals which the companies pay for
Everything is supplied except the clothing
the young women wear, even to the soap
and the starch and blueing for the laun-
dry where the young women do their per-
sonal work, everything else being sent to
steam laundry at Grand Rapids. Pretty
much the same force of help is employed
in the hotels as in any So day house,
and these at each include two cooks, four
mattresses and a housekeeper.

DOINGS OF The
CITY COUNCIL
Did not Accept Meginly Saloon
Bond
Ordered side Walk Torn up-Main
street sewer To be Cleaned Re-
mited Taxes on new Mill.

At the Common Council meeting las
Friday evening the Mayor and trustee:
were all present except Alderman Put
man Of the End ward who is in the eas
visiting. Alderman Connell president
protein called to order and presided unit
Mayor Spicer took his seat.
The question OF the unsafe condition ol
the side walk in front of o. F. Websters
property on Pleasant street was consider
cd and same ordered torn up by the
marshall.
A resolution was passed authorizing the
renting of the city taxes assessed again
st the new silk mill Of Beldng Bros. & Co
the personal tax being $4,000 and that
of the real estate $56l.60.
A motion was carried that the approach
to the foot bridge along the Pere Marquette
rail road bridge should be repaired and
put in safe condition.
There was considerable discussion relat-
We to the claim of Huntley & Co. for
balance due on power house. contract Of
$855.o0 it being claimed that the smoke
stack was not as large as the contract
called for
Huntley & Co. however showed that
they had followed the plains and specifica-
tions given them and on which they made
their bid. 1t developed that the original
plans had been changed after their bid
and the bill was allowed. After a grist
of bills had been allowed health officer
Morris made his report. During the month
there had been 2 complaints of nuisanoes
in the city ! Of which we're ordered abat-
ed. scarlet fever, 8 cases, measles IL,
calls upon city poor 6. 1t was decided by
the board that Main street sewer needed
cleaning out and the Sewer committee
were instructed TO do so.
1t was found that one thousand contag-
ious disease blanks for the health office de-
pArtment was needed and the clerk was
instructed to let the job of furnishing to
the lowest bidder.
On motion Of Alderman Stout supported
by Alderman Lloyd the matter OF the
saloon bonds offered by James Meginly
for the opening Of saloon IN the block
recently vacated by DR.. Dutt and which
had been held up at a previous meeting
was again taken up and objected not only
to the securities Charles c. Wright and
Fred Clanchy but also to the establish
ment of another saloon in the city, was
made and after considerable discussion a
vote was taken not to approve the bono
which vote was carried unanimously al
the alderman voting not to approve,
This action Of course settles the ques-
ton for the present but it is understood
however that MIR. Meginly will ask the
Supreme Court to interfere and grant a
mandamus compelling the councilto accep
the bonds if it is possible to do so.
Dog taxes had not been coming in very
fast so it was learned by the report Of the
marshell and he was granted so day
more in which to collect them.
