Killed by Gas.

Suffocation is given as the cause for
the death of large number of fish in
the Grand river between North Lansing
and Grand Ledge, by State Analyst
Robinson of the state dairy and food
department
Mr.. Robinson says that the discharge
of water from the sugar factory, which
was heavily charged with carbonic acid
gas and of water which had been de-
prived of air by having been heated, is
the cause of the trouble. He found no
poison in the water which would kill
the iish.
The remedy. Mr. Robinson says, is to
thoroughly aerate the water from the
sugar factory. Mr.. Robinson has con-
ferred with the officials Of the sugar
company and they intend to aerate the
water by passing it over dam.

Twenty-Five University Of Michigan
alumni met at Connor's cafe last Thurs
day and edjoyed fine banquet, after
which they elected officers and took
other steps looking to the permanent
organization of local alumni associa-

TO the proprietors. Messrs. Lovett &
Dunbar, and the ever efficient and salts
flying Chef Mentally, while the decora-
tions were exceptionally well thought
cut and we'll done, being in the nation

banquet toasts were responded to by
Messrs. G. r. Lyon, of the class of 81,
the Oldest alumnus in the city; Karl
Kuster, A. D.. Whipple, s. E. Parkill,
j. G. Shattuck, Eugene Brewer, J. G.

were called on for impromptu remarks.
DIR. Parker sang solo effectively. DIR.

most acceptable manner and was later
elected president of the association. A.
ID. Whipple was elected vice president
and DR.. G.. N. Finch secretary and
treasurer. The election and the ap-
Iointment Of committee to act with
the officers to draw up a constitution

remembered by the alumni present, and
what will evidently be the forerunner
Of othor equally pleasant gatherings in
