The attraction announced for the Beld-
ing opera house Monday night, May 8
will be that reigning romantic success
Monte Cristo," which is cleverly ar
ranged dramatization of Alexandra Du-
mas novel of remarkable creative fancy
and wide discussion. 1t is seldom. If ever,
that an adaptation for stage presentation
exceeds in popularity and general favor
that of the novel itself. However, that is
the case with Monte Cristo." which has
had the most solid success Of any book
play known to theatrical history. The
story is most impressive one and deals
with all the passions and emotions. The
play. which is in five acts, is provided
with complete scenic investiture and
the costumingis correct and in accordance
with the period of the play. Mr.. Eugene
Moore, who has the reputation of being
one of the best leading men and actors in
this country, heads the cast of splendid
players. The trademark established by
the management is Your moneys worth
or your money back" SO the public takes
no chances when this sterling play is pre-
sented here. 4z-2w

Women Were Crazy

A couple of women, who proved to be
Mrs. Christopher johnson and daughter
Florence of Mecosta county, were in the
city Friday and by their queer actions and
disconnected talk frightened many people.
They said they came on the same train
with the Odd Fellows and that bunch they
claimed were after them to kill them.
Along in the night they we're seen and
heard on the North Side shouting and
talking. The following day they we're
discovered by Charles Clements in Orleans
township heaping prushwood against his
house and preparing to set fire to the pe
They declared they were looking for Sa-
tan, that he had burned them out and now
they we're going to burn Clements out
In the fight which resulted from his eff
forts to Illustrate their intentions Clements
dog was struck in the head by an ak in
the hands Of one of the women and killed.
1t was not until constable had been
called and two neighbors had come in to
assist Clements that the women we're
overpowered and taken to Ionia, where
they we're lodged in jail
1t has been learned that the pair left
Mecosta village April 26, taking with them
two trunks, grip, three pet rabbits in a
cage and pet dog. What has become
OF the live stock is not known. They
came as far as Belding on the train and
then started tramping through the coun-
tro. People along the way saw them
building little fires in the road and acting
otherwise foolish. At the Jail the woman
became violent and tore her clothes into
shreds.
Officials from Mecosta county have
taken them home.

FREE WATER
TO The CURB
Council Voted for 1t at Special
Adjourned Meeting.
Water Commissioners Submitted
Proposition which Was Turned
Down-Approprfatio Bill Passed.

At the council meeting held last Frda,
evening the Alderman were all presen
and the water works question was dis.
cussed with much vigor.
Leonard Smith, one of the commission
ers, was present and addressed the
council IN favor of proposition which
had been submitted by the board
The proposition is as follows
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Of The city Of Beldlng:
1t is not the opinion of the board of
water commissioners that the SO called
Free Tapping" proposition should be
put into effect in Beldlng after taking into
consideration the practice and opinions of
numerous water works officials of cities
and towns in the Beding class, and view
ing this matter wholly from practical
business point of view.
We do, however recognize the fact that
the mayor and majority OF the board of
aldermen, reflectlng doubtless in a large
degree the public opinion are in favor of
rebate being made in water works
charges sufficient Co coyer the cost of
taking water from the mains to the curb
Taking this condition into careful con-
sideraton without attempting to argue
the question further, we submit the fol-
lowing proposition To you for consldera-
ton:
That all applicants for water from the
city mains on and after May lst, 1907.
carrying a cash payment of Sz 90 snail
have that amount rebated to them in
water charges only, as follows:
- 4 A.
May lst. 1907, and SO per cent the
second year dating from May st, 9o8,
but no rebate on tapping charges TO be
allowed or considered after October lst,
1907.
This insures the return to the applicant
for water, the whole amount advanced by
him to the city clerk, to cover the cost of
carrying the water to the applicants
case ese and should also provide that in
take sufficient water III Utlv--rr- does not
his rebAte Of So so, then in that case, he
forfe7ts his claim for rebate 70. that ;sar
to the extent of the difference betweeni
$3.50 and the amount of his water charge
for that year if less than So so.
We would also call the attention OF the
mayor and council to the fact that the
ninety CLOSELY approximately water
takers on record at this date, will be en-
titled to like rebate on precisely the
same basis, which implies certain re-
payment of S65o.oo to be fharged to the
water works account within the next two
years. In addition to the return Of at
least SO per cent of all revenues derived
from takers up to October lst, l9oz.
In the opinion of the board, the time for
which this tapping rebate should be al
lowed and considered as the policy and
practice of the Beding water-works sys-
tenn, should be limited and not extend
beyond October lst, 1907, and we be
lieve it more advisable that the limit be
sixty or ninety days rather than the one
hundred and fifty days heretofore sug-
gested in the body of this communication
We also ask that from and after May
st the city, in consideration of the fact

who expected to join the cruise, weakened

Hetherington and Skipper Hubbell de-
cided to brave the furies of the storm and
take chance anyhow.
Mr.. Bull of Ionia, a speciality man, and
a Swede from Saginaw, both of whom
were looked upon as certain acquisitions

did not find it necessary to call on friends
for funds to equip the enterprise.
