The Easter services at the Methodist

The Easter services at the Methodist
church attracted large attendances.
Besides the appropriate sermon by the
pastor there were baptismal ceremonies
in the morning. In the evening the
rooms we're crowded to their capacity to
listen to the splendid Easter program by
the young people of the society, which
proved most entertaining. The church
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion and all seemed TO enjoy the pro-
gram rendered.
-Beloit Daily News has recently set
tied libel suit by paying $500 in cash
to Anthony Dixon of Beloit. The claims
against the Daily News by Mr. Dixon
grew out of the publication of unwar-
ranted and untrue stories in that paper
one year ago when the case of John
Maracle against Dixon was being tried
before Judge Rosa in the Municipal
court in that city. The articles in cues,
ton were of highly libelous character
and calculated to greatly prejudice and
inf1ame against the interests of Mr..
Dixon.
The bicyclists have their rights as
we'll as other people. It would be well
for drivers on the public highways to
remember that the bicyclists or person
riding a wheel is entitled to half the
road, and should person with team
| meet wheelmen or drive past one on the
road, they must turn out the same as II
they met another team. Should team
run down bicycle on the highway and
injure the person or damage his wheel,
the person so doing would be held for
damages The courts have so ruled and
it is important that drivers should un-
ders and the law and know that wheel
men have rights which all are bound to
respect.
The collecting of old papers and sell
ing them to the paper mills to be ground
up and made into new stock has lately
become a favorite method of raising
money among church societies. and this
method of saving has an economic side
that ought to be more generally ex-
plotted. A car load of old paper stock
brings about 500 and the revenue is not
only welcomed by the societies who in
terest themselves in collecting it, but
also helps conserve the waste Of new ma
terial which is all the time becoming
more scarce. The price of all kinds of
white paper has gone up Amazingly the
past few years and promises to continue,
as the demand is fast depicting the
wood pulp forests. n large proportion
OF the newspapers, magazines and books
that are now consigned to the furnace
when they are discarded could just as
we'll be saved and sent back to the mills
to be made over, and eventually the peo-
pie will learn that this must be done if
cheap literature is to prevail. Ameri-
cans have been too wasteful ia many di-
rections and it is time to call halt and
stop some OF the leaks. It is a good
scheme to commence with one of the

Now the clouds shut out from view

all our own.
We are alone in space. where for
eternal years only time has dwelt.
Without direction to our way we trav-

zon, mans constant friend below, has
disappeared. and eyes, burdened by
never ending distance. give up the
quest Of limitless space.
Sound fed from solitude so great,
afraid to be alone, and even to our
care she seems to be afraid and
echoes back to safety from the cloud
below. AS far as eye can reach the
scene Is clothed in white, as though
the snow Of ages piled on snow of
ages gone before. is bleached for
ever by never sinking sun.
Fantastic shapes OF splendor un-
described are reared within the time

and soon dissolve to give us a chance
to view new shapes of greater splen-
dor far. arisen at our side. The sun
in splendor undisturbed since placed
on high by natures God, shines down
though blue which skies imprison,
and will shine on until the end Of
time shall come and man will be no
more.
Faculties brought from below and
used to tell us where we are and
where we. go are all at fault in this
strange place, and though we fly as
on the winds and with a speed equal
led by thought alone, still it is as If
we yet stood still and let the sloth

"A Demon Woman.


world is shocked with q discovery
that has been made near La Porte,
Ind. While as yet the mystery of
the affair has not been solved, nor
Its extent been fully revealed, enough
has been discovered to leave no doubt
that near that quiet little town lived
a woman who in her deeds equalled,
or surpassed, all the female fiends
OF which there is a record.
This woman was known as Mrs
Guinness. a native Of Norway who
passed as a widow and some years
ago bought little farm near the
town Of La Porte. She seems to
have lived without having much in
tercourse with her neighbors. but
while she lived isolated yet there was
no suspicion that she was other than
she seemed. a woman not socially in
clined, but otherwise above reproach.
She has been living with her three
children, which were believed to be
hers, and who attended the public
schools.
One night about week ago her,
house burned down. When neigh
bors. attracted by the blaze. arrived
nothing could be done to save the
house. and when the fire had burned
itself out the discovery was made that
the woman and her children had per-
ished In the flames. At least the
charred corpses of the three children

ness. But a much more horrible dis.
covery was mode. The body Of man
was found buried in the orchard at
the back OF the house. and this find
was quickly followed by others, until
eleven fresh graves had been found
close by the woman's house.
That they were killed by her with
or without accessories cannot be
doubted, and this presents her as a
hend incarnate, a woman who in
cold blood murd dered one victim after
another. buried them near her house,
and then calmly pursued her course
until she could kill the next. How
many persons were thus killed in this
quiet little farm house has not lyet
been determined. since the search for
graves has not been completed.
Nor IL 1t known why she killed her
Victims. One Of them. at least, was
q man whom she had iured to her
home through q matrimonial adver-
tisement. and who carried with him
. considerable sum Of money. Per
lhAps him she killed to get his money,
and perhaps others Of her victims
we're murdered by this fiend for the
same reason; but not all Of them,
For one OF her victims was a young
woman whom she had adopted rs a
daughter. and whom she could not
possibly have killed for money.
Since these horrible discoveries
have been made 1t is believed that
the woman's body found in the burn
ing house Is not that Of the murder
ess. but q body substituted by her TO
create belief that she was dead,
while she really escaped. Efforts are
now being made to gain certainty on
this point. =

Pulp and Chemicals Kill Fish.

Deputy Game Warden Hoyt was in
the city Tuesday investigating charges
preferred against the Owosso Sugar Co.
for dumping refuse pulp and other sub
stances in the Shiawassee river ten days
ago, killing large number Of fish
principally suckers and redhorse-which
fioated down stream to the dam at
Chesaning, threatening to cause an epi-
demic of some kind at that point. AS
the Sugar Co. was almost compelled to
take this action by the local board of
health to get rid of the stencil arising
from the decaying pulp and it was ex-
planned that in the future all the pulp
is to be dried and no refuse will be run
into the river, it is expected that no
legal proceedings will be instituted.
The dead fish at Chesaning have been
cared for and as the expense incurred
will probably be met by the Sugar Co..
this will, it is thought, end the matter.
The officials of the company tried in
every possible way to avoid putting
anything into the river expecting to
burn the pulp when it became sufficient
ly dry but the frequent rains compelled
them to adopt the other plan.

For Judge of Probate, Matthew Bush

We are glad to be able to announce
that Judge Matthew Bush will be a
candidate for reelection to his pres
ent position as Judge of Probate of
Shiawassee county.
This is in many respects the most
responsible office in the county and
when we consider the fact that all the
property of the county passes through
the Probate Office every thirty years,
it is apparent what care is necessary
that titles may be kept secure and per-
feet, and when we also realize that
there must come time Of bereavement
to us all and that in very large meas.
ure the resultant care of widows and
orphans is in the keeping of the Judge
of that Court, it is clear how very i'm.
portant it is as to who that Judge
should be.
Under recent law there has been
added to the Probate Court what is
known as the Juvenile Division OF
that Court, by which the charge and
control of all the dependent and de-
linquent children of the county is
intrusted to the Probate Judge which
adds largely to the duties and respon-
sibilities of that important Office, upon
him to very great extent will now
depend the future of those unfortunate
or misguided children who have been
classified by the law as dependent or
delinquent.
We do not wish to question in any
way the qualities of any one else but
we all know all about Judge Bush
He has served in that Office many
years and by his experience and his
knowledge of the Probate law and
practice has the qualifications that
any other person selected would have
to take years to acquire.
