Diais statement that il was the under.
standing that he was to continue as the
president of the company, but the Mes
srs. Reigel had not turned him ont
ina he had resigned of his own FREQ
WILL that there was nothing said about
what his salary should be. That he
alsliked coming into this meeting with
Il old you So" but he had told Mr.
Dla what the outcome would be. that
Mr.. Reigel had said to him that he
proposed to control the property and
that he had told it to Mr.. Dial. That
ne had been in favor of selling the
property when they could no longer
hold a controlling interest in It and
complete it,; that they had been offered
n cost with interest by more than one
party and that lie had been in favor of
accepting it. He further stated hat
Mr.. Reigel had inquired of him if there
was any way to get a majority of the
stock of the company without taking
Dial and that he had told him that be
knew of no way.
he declared, that he had been at the
stockholders meeting a little more than
a month ago and nothing was said in
the meeting about the wastefulness or
ex~travagances of the management;
That the same directors were unani.
mously reelected and that thew had
Deen voted for by Mr.. Dial, Mr.. Hughes
ana Mr.. Beacham; that no word of nro-
test was uttered and that no vote was
recorded as a protest against any
wastefulness or extravaganza.
In reply Mr.. Dial said that Mr.

of Mr.. Reigel but that in the face of
the agreement and the clause in tho
bylaws he regarded his position as
secure; he commended that when thew
mad rcduced his salary from SO, OO0. 90
TO $l,2oO.O0 that the compensation was
not IN proportion to the dignity and re-
sponsibility of the office, and tn r.;so
the salary of the treasurer from 81, 500 :
90 to Sc, 1000. 90 and to lower his salarv
from $3,OoO.00 to 81, 200. 90 was done to
neap upon him an indignity and force
nm to resign and in this way be rid of
his watchfulness and his efforts to nro.
tect the interests of his home peonlc.
In this way it was a breach of the con-
tract.
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Beacham ex-
planned that they had voted for the
same directors but hat they had made
complaint to Mr.. Dial in regard to tho
"astetulness and the ~extrayapance

stated that he had also called Mr.

ore the meeting of the stockholders.
Mr.. Richey offered 70 amend

The Right Way to Do.

when we trust you we must have
some assurance of your responsibility.
"nen you trust us you have a right to
a Tx protection-it's only fair. The
McCaskey system we employ guaran-
tees that. If you owe us So. 90 and that
as right, all right; but if you pay 500 {,
1t Is more than right. Just 81. 90 more.
Our McCaskey accounts shown at vour
u and at our store are ALWAYS
right and must correspond. Try this
system. You will like it.

MAKE IT YOURSELF.
Says Many Persons Here Can Be
made Happy Again.

There is so much rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the follow
ing advice by an eminent authority,
who writes for readers of large east
ern daily paper, will be highly appreci.
ated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic.
Tins of this dread and torturous dis.
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture
and in most cases a permanent cure
is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous other
diseases. Every man or woman here
who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

De ath of Mrs. D. NJ. Estey.

Friends about the city were much
surprised to learn on Sunday that Mrs
Mary j., widow of the late David NJ.
Estey, passed away at the family resi-
dence at 10 o'clock that morning. Mrs
Estey had been confined to the house
for fourteen weeks by heart trouble, but
had been little better and once or
twice during the ten days previous
to her death had been able to be taken
to the porch of her home to enjoy the
fresh air and sunshine.
Mary Jane Norcross was born in
Dummerston, VT, in June, 1916 She
was married to d. NJ. Estey in August,
1862. They removed to Westhaven
then known as Six Mile Creek, in 1869,
and moved to Owosso in 1875. Three
children were born to them, o. B.
Estey, and Mrs. Eudora Estey Bryson,
of this city, and Miss Florence Estey,
who died in 1880. Mr.. Estey died Sept.
27, 1908.
Mrs. Estey united with the Baptist
church early in life and was an active
and efficient worker in the local church
during the years of her residence at
Westhayen and in this city During
the fourteen weeks of her last illness,
she was patient sufferer, not once
complaining of her lot. She died as
she lived, rejoicing in her christian
faith. Her death occurred at the same
hour and on the same day of the week
as her birth.
Possessed of a bright and cheerful
disposition, Mrs. Estey made friends of
all who came in contact with her. She
will be missed not alone by her chill
dren, but by her many friends.
The funeral services were held We'd
nesday afternoon, Rev. f. l.. Church
officiating. A large number of friends
were present to pay their last respects to
the deceased and the esteem in which
she was held was manifested by the
many beautiful floral offerings. The
burial was in Oak Hill.

MERCHANTS Protective Association.

Bert Hilliard, representing Hilliard
d Co., of Lansing, state organizers OF
the Retail Merchants Protective Asso-
citation, is in the city to interest our
merchants and business men in the
organization of local branch. Mr..
Hilliard has recently completed organi'
cations at Howell and Ionia and letters
from the members show that they are
well pleased. The object of the organi-
zation is to compile list of the people
of the county who may seek credit from
time to time of retail dealers, the list
stating whether the person applying
for credit is worthy, whether he is slow
pay, refuses to pay accounts presented,
etc. If a branch is established here a
list will be gotten out in book form to
cover the county and this will be sup
plemented monthly by list of new com
ers and also give new information
touching those previously listed. The
plan seems to be a feasible one and
many business men have often express
ed the wish that something of this kind
might be arranged for, enabling them
to give credit to those worthy and to
refuse those who do not pretend to pay
their honest debts.

Cadillac Congregational Church Calls
Rev. G. H. Hanks.

On Saturday last Rev. c. II. Hanks
received call from the Congregational
church at Cadillac to become its pastor
The officers of the church asked Rev.
Hanks twice during the summer
months to fill the pulpit of their church
but he declined owing to other engage
ments and to the fact that he wished to
get little rest during his vacation.
He consented to preach for them one
Sunday in September, not, however,
with the idea of being a candidate for
their pulpit which has been untitled for
some time At the time of his visit the
matter of his coming to Cadillac was
limited at without any encouraging
reply being given by Mr.. Hanks. Com
ing as it does the call is very fattering
one, especially when all the circum-
stances surrounding it are understood.
No answer has as yet been given and if
the influence of the people of the
church here has any bearing with Rev
Hanks favorable reply will not be
sent The members of the local church
and society are unit in wishing to
continue the very pleasant and harmoni-
ous relations now existing between pas
tor and people. The hope is, also, gen.
orally expressed by citizens regardless of
creed that Rev. Hanks will continue his
work in this city and county-for the
calls upon his time are very numerous
from all parts of the county.

Washington, January .-(Speclal)-
Congress seems bent upon doing the work
of a whole session during the last few
days and nights, especially nights, pre-
ceding final adjournment. So far there
has been nothing but talk Not single
one of the great supply bills has become
law and at preesnt there is nothing to
indicate that much work will be done
until adjournment is near.
Senator Hale, who, in the absence of
Senator Allison, has been in charge Of
the regular appropriation bills, told the
members of the Senate today that 1t w0s
about time there was more work and less
talk. He called the attention of the SEN
ate to the fact that he had never known
such congested legislative condition this
early In a session and served notice that
he would move for the commencement 9f
night sessions If some of the work vas
not cleared within the next ten days
The situation Is causing some worry to
bill. This measure will be passed by the
House before the end Of the week and
then goes to the Senate commerce conn
mittee II usually stays in this commit
tee for two weeks and after passage by
the Senate comes the conference commit

the bill to death.
