Second Anniversary Y. w. C.. a.

The second anniversary of the Y
w. c. A. was celebrated Tuesday
night by a banquet at the Y. NJ. c.
A. rooms with about thirty-five
present.
Reports were given by the presi-
dent, Mrs. Swarthout, and the treas
urer, Miss Sturtevant. Miss Fannie
Goss sang a solo and instrumental
music was furnished by Edna House
The Y. w. girls were fortunate in
having Mrs. Griswold, of Yale, with
them, who gave a very interesting
description of Grace Cottage, the
home of the state Y. w. girls at Lake
Orion.
Considering the fact the Y. w. C
A. have no rooms, and have no
been able to do systematic work o.
hold meetings regularly, the circl,
has made much progress during tn,
past two years.

Owosso Township Grange.

On May 10 Owosso township
Grange held a debate on Shall we
adopt the new constitution" A.
Robertson was on the affirmative and
G. T. Mason on the negative. There
were some quite spirited talks on
both sides. Some of the gentlemen
seem to think that it has cost so
much to have the con-con make the
new constitution that it would be a
pity to vote it down. Others say
that it is not what the people want
and that it does not meet with their
approval but that there are some
good things in it and perhaps it is
better than the old one. Some of
the members want to be popular on
both sides and do not like to offend
the con-con but do not like the way
they did while at Lansing.
One man says 1--WE have got all
we coud expect from a body of men
who would go to the convention, put
in from a half hour to two hours a
day and sometimes not be there for a
week or two at time, be gone on
hunting trips or home yet take their
ten dollars a day for every day Sun
days and ALL" This man is quite
satisfied that the constitution is all
We had right to expect from men
of that stamp.
Another man says "They added in
suit to injury by allowing those wo-
men who own property to vote on
raising money, but they do not allow
them to vote on what shall be done
with the money thus raised or on
who shall have the handling of it,"
One said when the new consti
tuition mentions what the people are
to do it says they shall do so and so,
but when speaking Of passing laws
to govern corporations it says they
may do so and So"
The last one to speak said II do
not care what it cost or for anything
of that kind. The con-con simply
ignored and turned down nearly
every measure asked for by the
people and promised before election
by the candidates and | will not vote
to accept what they have furnished
as a new constitution. 1t would be
a bad precedent, the next one would
do worse yet and we woud have to
accept it,
Our Grange has some decided
opinions of their own in spite of the
politicians. This subject is to be
again discussed at some future time.

Railroad Meeting.

An enthusiastic meeting was held
in the New Haven town hall on We'd
nesday evening for the purpose of
discussing the railroad proposition
which has betn put up to the people
of that township by the stockholders
of the New Haven Coal Mining Com
pany and the beet sugar interests.
In order to induce the promoters
to continue the road to New Lothrop
delegation of our citiztns. w. Sny-
der, VIM. Beatty, George Bullock, ].
w. Northwood and w. L. Colby, who
had been appointed to attend the
meeting, were present. A ygeneraf
|, discussion of the besbrouts was en-
tered into and it was almost the
unanimous opinion that the proper
route after the road struck New Ha-
ven was to continue on the north line
of section twelve, then east to New
Lothrop and north through Maple
Grove to Saginaw. This routs would
open the best farming section in
Michigan and the beet sugar interests
and railroad promoters are aware of
this fact The New Haven and Haz-
elton coal mines would be opened up
and operated and there would be
ample tonnage to make the line
moneymaker from the start.
The Grand Trunk representative
present spoke very encouragingly of
the project, and the farmers and 9TH
ers present were enthusiastic in their
support A committee of three was
appointed to attend a meeting in
Owosso on Monday at which time the
matter will be further discussed
The proposed line is from Owosso
to Saginaw and if nothing but smooth
sailing is encountered the railroad
will soon be in course Of construc-
tion.-New Lothrop Herald.

cireumstantial Evidence.

During a discussion in regard to cir
cumstantial evidence a lawyer told OF
a remarkable case which, he said, ap-
pears in the Virginia reports. 1t was
this:
A man was discovered drawing a
knife from the PROSTATE form OF an
other man near q roadside. The wit
nesses rushed upon him and took the
weapon from him. 1t was still drip
ping with the warm blood Of the VIC
tim. He was accused Of the murder.
but asserted his innocence. He claim
ed that he had happened along the
road but q few moments before and
saw his alleged victim struggling with
another man. Before he could come up
the unknown had driven his knife
home and had fed into some brush
close by. Seeing the knife still In the
breast Of the fallen man, he stopped
over and drew it forth just as his ac-
cusers came on the scene. That was
his story. The knife being identified as
the property Of the accused, no Gre
dence whatever was placed in his tale.
He was tried, convicted and hanged.
. A year later the man who had really
committed the crime while on his
deathbed confessed that he was the
murderer and told how he had stolen
the knife from the innocent man who
had been sent to the gallows.
