"RUSSELL'S DOG DANDY"
Suspected of Carrying Off Janitor Masraw's . Gloves From Court House. x

l Attorney James E. Russell's bulldog "Dandy" don't go within mile of the l court house building these days on ac- count of the somewhat mysterious dis appearance of Janitor Magraw's mon- key wrench and working gloves. Ev- cry day Dandy" used to visit the court house and always with a stone ill his mouth, for he did not believe i'll going without taking something al ways to the janitor. The janitor, how ever, did not care about such gifts. for they put him to the trouble of gathering them up and throwing them out. But Dandy" did not mind that, and he was persistent ill his fayOrs.
 A week ago Janitor Magraw missed his working gloves. He didn't mmd that because Santa Claus had gwen him another pair last Christmas. Then his monkey wrench disappeared. This was calamity for it left him without anything to throw at the mugwump rats in the building. Monday Dandy paid his, daily visit to the janitOr anG as usual he had q cobble in his mouth. ''Dandy's" habit of picking up things and walking off with them aroused the jauitor's suspicious and he decid' ed to keep an eye on him. He accord. 1 ingly followed the, dog all around the building, Dandy looking for some place in which to deposit his stony gift. This was no cinch, by any means, for the dog is good walker and better runner. After tramp of about an hour however. Dandy" led the janitor to the rear of the build ing. There he deposited his stone and after snuffing around while he poked his snub nose into corner and picked up the missing monkey wrench and was walking off with it when the jan itor nabbed him by his sawed off tail and relieved him of the wrench. On the principle that finders are some times hiders. the janitor accuses the dog of stealing the wrench and gloves and that is the reason Dandy" doesn't call any more to the court house.

any body would attempt to make
the crossings while the gates are
down. The fagman at a crossing
is certainly a protection, but not as
thoroughly and complete a pro-
lection from danger as the gates.
We have been long time trying
to secure gates, especially at the
C. M. & St. P. crossing on Grand
avenue. This crossing we consi-
der the most dangerous in the city.
Next to this comes the Wisconsin
Central, C. & n. W., and the
Green Bay & Western. We be-
lieve the most dangerous crossing
should have gates on Grand Ave;
other crossings might be sufficient
ly protected by good fagmen. 1t
is now up to the common council
of Grand Rapids, to say just what
crossing should have gates, and
which should have fagmen. We
have agitated the question Of gates
and now that the railroad compan-
les show a disposition to put in
either gates or fagmen let the
council indicate which they will
have, and where.

One of the latest plans of the
mail order concerns is to offer
customers small percentage on the
purchase of others whom the GUS
toners may gain for the house.
1t is a mighty poor kind of a citi-
zen who will induce his neighbor
to patronize concerns of this
character, because all the money
that is taken from the home COM
munity and sent away is gone for
good and will not become factor
in the development of home in
terests. No one will dispute the
right of the catalogue houses to do
business, but the plan is bad one
for the struggling rural town. The
trade of these towns constitute
their elements of life, take away
the trade Of a town. and it will
soon die, and with the going of a
town real-estate values will de-
crease, the home market be des-
troyed, and all the conveniences
that the home town afforded will
be lost to the farmer.

SELLS THE RE-
NAMING INTERESTS
]. T. Schumacher Buys the Re-
naming Interests of Spafford,
Cole { Co.

Last Thursday the well known firm
of Spafford, Cole & Co. closed out its
business. While ]. T. Schumacher
purchased a halt interest in the well
known mercantile company spoken of
above some time ago, it was not until
last Thursday that the entire holdings
of the old firm were taken over. A
deal however, was closed on that day
which made Mr.. Schumacher sole
proprietor of the business.
The closing of the business of the
firm of Spafford, Cole & Co. removes
one of the Oldest and best known
mercantile firms of this city. and
county. For many years past the
name of this firm was household word
not only in Grand Rapids, but
throughout the county. Il
Mr.. Spanord was one of the pioneer
merchants of the city, and has been
identified with its business almost
from its infancy. t. A. Lipke entered
OIllo OUolC az q OlCl n a VI fCdl
ago, afterwards becoming a partner of
Mr.. Spafford's, aud active in the
management of the store. The rapid
growth of the business speaks well for
the energy of both gentlemen, and
while many old settlers will regret
the absence of the old time proprietorS
they will be compensated somewhat
by the genial welcome extended them
by the new proprietor, Mr.. Schu-
macher. Although Mr.. Schumacher
has been here a short time, he has
made many friends in this city who
wish him the very best of success.
In conversation with T. A, Lipke
Tuesday, that gentleman remarked
that he had taken no vacation for
nearly twenty-six years, and that it
was his intention to take a good long
rest before settling down again to
work. He stated that he had not
formulated any plans for the future
and would not do so, until he had
fully rested from the strain of the last
several years steady application to
business.

Letter To Mr.. W. E. Beadle
NEKOosA, WIS.

Dear Sir: The rule is, in letting a
contract for work. to let it to the low
est bidder; provided good work is as
sured; but once in while it pays not
to let it to any bidder.
The lowest bid Mr.. Wiley Hawkins,
of TuScola, Ills, could get on painting
his house was $500. He thought it a
little high and so he bought Devoe
lead-and-zinc Paint hired his painters
by the day, and finished a irst-class
job for S15.75.
Next time you do any painting it
may be worth something to you to
know this. Yours truly

Numerous times has this journal
called attention to alleged cooper
alive concerns operating in a few
of the large cities. These concerns
are cooperative in name only, they
are solely conducted for profit, and
cooperative part of it is to secure
funds from those who know little
of commercial business methods in
order to carry on business and to
gain trade. The bait held out is
that investments will pay a large
amount of interest or that investors
will be given a reduction under
regular prices as published in the
