delightful compliment to Miss Lena Leon
ard, daughter of H. J. Leonard of this
city, who is voice teacher in a conserva-
tory OF music at that place: lone of the
finest programs ever listened to by a
Grand Forks audience was the pleasure
given yesterday when the November pro-
gram Of the Thursday Musical club was
given in the public library auditorium to a
gathering which included almost every
member Of that organization. Miss Leon
ard, voice teacher at Wesley conservatory
Of Music had charge Of the program and
not only prepared most excellent pro-
gram, but charmed her hearers with her
magnificent soprano voice, appearing on
the program three times. Her numbers
we're varied and included a group Of
French compositions that were exqustely
sweet and her voice which has always
been pleasure to Grand Forks audiences,
never seemed in better form than on this
occasion. Every note was clear full and
sweet and every number was given
true dramatic Interpretation.

Mr.and NJ RS. "A bert Castles Residence
Burned Tuesday Morning.
Last Tuesday morning the pleasant
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Castle To-
Gated on the river road in the western
portion Of the city was discovered TO be
on fire and an alarm was quickly turned
in. The fire department responded quick
ly but owing to the fact that it was out Of
the reach of the water works nothing
could be done towards saving the house
and it was burned to the ground
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Castle were away
from home at the time of the fire and how
it originated is merely matter of con-
lecture but 1t is supposed to have caught
either from an overheated stove or a de-
fective chimney. The house which was
totally destroyed was insured for $500
and there was an equal amount on the
contents, only small portion Of which
was saved. the insurance being carried
in the Wagner & Son agency.
Mr.. Castle was working on Pleasant
street when the alarm was sounded and
learning that it was his own house that
was burning he rushed down to the river
and waded across to his home in time to
save few thing from the flames.

GOV. WARMERS
GOOD WORDS
Issues "a Frank, Open After Cam
paign Letter
Harbors No Resentment Against Any
one and Knows No Clique
or Faction

During the campaign both for nomina-
ton and election it was a pleasure for me
to visit so many sections of the state and
have chance to meet such large num-
Der of our people. While my majority
was not as large as had hoped, yet it
must be remembered in this connection
that had arrayed against me every dis
satisfied element in the politics OF our
state and was charged with almost every
thing with which a man in public life
could be charged. These charges were
wholly groundless.
''In many cities candidates who stood
for the strict enforcement of the liquor
laws were showed under, while in the
same cities my opponent received over
whelming majorites. And yet one OF the
most persistent charges made against me
throughout the state was that | was in
league with the liquor interests.
"ln Grand Rapids many temperance
voters joined hands with the liquor ele-
ment in opposing me, the one because it
was charged that favored the saloons
and the other because | appointed as
Circuit Judge man who resolutelY stood
for the strict enforcement of the liquor
laws.
"In view of the nature Of the campaign
made against me, it is gratifying to have
received d majority of the more than
half million votes cast by the electors of
Michigan last Tuesday.
"In this campaign the head of the ticket
was singled out for attack and the entire
energies of the combined opposition CEN
tered upon me. This seems to have been
quite general throughout the country this
year, the result being that in Ohio Indiana
and three other states the democrats
elected their candidates for governor in
spite of the fact that Taft carried the
states by good majorities, while in New
York and illinois Gov. Hughes and Gov.
Deneen fell behind Taft even farther than
did in Michigan.
81 wish to assure the people of Michigan
that harbor no resentment against any
one and that as chief executive of the
state shall, as during the last four years,
know no cliqus or faction in any party or
element OF our population. but shall en-
deavor to deal fairly and justly with all
parties and all interests. having in mind
solely the protection and advancement
Of all the people Of our great state And
to this end cordially invite the co-opera-
ton Of all good citizens.

A Fine show

Manager Hetherington deserves great
credit for securing the District Leader
in this city, as il was one Of the highest
class entertainments ever shown in this
city. The price was rather high for this
city and only a medium sized audience
took advantage of the show and both the
company and Mr.. Hetherington lost
money on the venture. There are a lot
Of people who wonder why the higher
class Of entertainments fail to come to
Belding, but it is simply because they get
a frost when they are booked here. The
District Leader is playing only the larger
cities in Michigan and is quite out Of the
ordinary for them to stop in Belding.

For Free Delivery

The council has taken the preliminary
steps toward securing free delivery Of
mail in this city. A resolution was passed
at the meeting held last week authorizing
a systematic numbering Of the houses
throughout the city, in accordance with
the rules OF the postoffice department
The city is now getting along up to the
point where free delivery would be hailed
with pleasure by many Of our citizens and
would also relieve the congestion OF pa
irons at the postoffice after the arrival OF
the morning and evening mails.
