Owosso Author Winning Fame.

A manuscript by M. J. Phillips
city editor of the Press-American
has been accepted for both serial and
| book publication by an Ohio publish
ing house, and will make its appear
ance during the early autumn.
The manuscript is entitled "In
Our Country's Service" and deals
with supposed conditions thirty years
hence, providing the Japanese immi-
grafton to this country were allowed
to continue unchecked. 1t is the ac-
count of the adventures of two Ma
tional Guard officers, who are sent
out on hazardous mission by the
secret service. 1t is their duty to see
if the militia is ready for war, and to
correct conditions that prevail where
emissaries of the japanese govern
ment have been at work.
The story, which is about $4,000
words in length, was written during
the past winter, and is the authors
first attempt at long fiction. 1t was
submitted to Col. Edward T. Miller,
assistant quartermaster general of
the Ohio National Guard, and editor
and publisher of the National Guard
Magazine, of Columbus. Col. Miller
wrote frankly that he was favorably
impressed with the story, but would
not rely on his judgment alone. He
asked permission, which was granted,
to let friend of his, literary man
and National Guardsman, peruse it
from the standpoint of literary mer-
it and technical accuracy as to mili7
tary affairs, and the latter's judg-
ment was flattering. He suggested
that some minor faults be corrected
mad summed up by writing: "On the
whole, the story is good one; parts
of it show considerable genius"
Accordingly Col. Miller has made
the following proposition to Mr.. Phil
lips, which the latter is considering
although a trip to Columbus will
probably be necessary on his part to
reach an agreement on all points be-
fore the contract is signed: $500 for
serial rights for publication in the
National Guard Magazine; 500 adj
ditional for celebrating the story to
regulation book ength,-about U.s.
600 words and fifteen cents royalty
on each copy of the book sold. The
book will be published simultaneous
ly with the appearance of the last
installment in the magazine, and Col.
Miller would require a contract runn-
ing the book through six editions, If
1t were found to be a paying propo-
sition.
Col. Miller agrees to advertise the
story thoroughly all over the United
States, and has also opened negotia-
lions with the author for his next
story.

New Trains and Change of Time on
Grand Trunkl

The Grand Trunk, according to ar
advance bulletin sent out to station
employees along the road, will put the
daily fast trains on for the summer
next Sunday, April 26. There will
be other changes, but the most not
able, in the eyes of Owosso people is
that the westbound fast train leaves
Detroit at sos, p. M, later than ever
before.
Here is the new schedule, with the
approximate time of the trains get
ting to Owosso. The exact time can
not be given as the time table will
not be out until Saturday.
No. II, westbound, now leaving
Durand daily except Sunday, to be-
come daily train and leave Durand
one hour later than at present. The
hour will be 7:15, which will bring
the train here about 1886, instead of
6:36. No. 10, westbound, leaves
Detroit now at o'clock, but will af-
ter Sunday leave at $50 a. m, with
no change in the time of arrival at
Grand Rapids. Ten minutes are add
ed to this trains time because of
present inability to make the trip in
the interval allowed. 1t will reach
Owosso at about the same time as it
does now-10:15 a. m.
No. 10 will leave Detroit at los
p. m. twenty minutes later than it
does now and will reach Owosso
about twenty minutes later, or 1922
p. m, in stead of 1902. No. 81 is a
new daily train, leaving Detroit at
sos p. m, and reaching Owosso at
about 1885. No. IL is unchanged.
That is the evening train running
daily except Sunday, leaving Detroit
at 3:15 De M, and reaching Owosso
6:34 p. m.
The changes in the eastbound
trains are as follows: A new train
No. 20, daily, will leave Grand Rap
ids at 5:45, a M, reaching Owosso
about nine o'clock, and Detroit at
1880. No. IL, the present morning
eastbound train, will leave Grand
Rapids half hour later than it
does at present, and will get here
about 9:15. 1t gets to Detroit now
at 1910, but under the new plan
will arrive but nine minutes earlier.
Thus it is given an easier schedule
by twenty-one minutes. No. IS, the
evening train will leave Grand Rap
ids at 1920 p. M, ten minutes earlier
than now, and will reach Owosso
about the same time as now, 5:07 p.
m. No. Ia will again become a daily
train, instead of daily except Sunday
leaving Grand Rapids ten minutes
later, or at GAS p. m. That will
bring it into Owosso at 9: 23, in
stead of 9:13. There is no change
in the noon train east, No. %, now
due here at 11:47.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by coHstitu-
tioual remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten ore caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

Engagements.


Engagements.
Every matrimonial engagement
after Easter must be in writing, al
though there is no necessity nor OBJ
legation to enter into formal engage
ment before marriage.
In the eyes of the church and be-
fore God, private betrothal after
Easter between Catholic parties, or
between fallenaway Catholics begets
no matrimonial obligation whatever,
because the church DEGREES that every
prenuptial contract is void unless it
is written and duly attested.
Parties wishing to become engaged
must sign the prenuptial contract,
and have the bishop Of their pastor
witness it. In the absence Of the
bishop or duly authorized priest, two
witnesses must sign the engagement.
If one or both of those to be engaged
cannot write, this should be noted
and three lay witnesses must sign the
engagement in the absence Of the
bishop or the parish priest.
These engagements should be en-
couraged. If made some months before
marriage, they will help to stop hasty
alliances, which are the cause of so
many divorces outside the church
and of so many unhappy marriages
among Catholics.
This written contract would fur
nish good grounds in our civil courts
for breach of promise suit.
Protestants and all who have never
been baptised in the Catholic faith
are not subject to this law, hence
their private contracts bind, for the
simple reason that the church has
not made these the conditions under
which they must enter into an en-
gagement.
All fallen-away Catholics, whether
they have become Protestants or in
fidels, are bound by the law. The
church. like the state, can bind her
refractory subjects.
Marriage.
Every bishop, Cor vicar general or
of diocese) can val
idly marry in his own diocese any
parties, irrespective of the country or
place whence they come. The bishop
can delegate any priest to do the
same.
Bishops or priests may not assist
at marriages until they have assumed
office.
There is no marriage at all, If the
priest be compelled to witness it.
There is no marriage If the priest
does not ask and receive the consent
Of the parties.
The authority which the bishop
has in his diocese the parish priest
has in his parish.
The bishop outside his diocese, and

BREEDING UP is CHEAPEST.
The Way to Get Into the Business OF
Raising Pure BREEDS.

The farmer that intends to secure
herd of pure-bred cattle will find 1t
cheaper to breed up than to buy pure
bred stock, especially if he is prepar-
ing to raise cattle for the purpose OF
making beef. If he buys all pure-bred
stock, the investment will be so heavy
that he cannot afford to sell the pro-
geny for the block, but will feel con-
strained to go into the business OF
raising breeding cattle, for which he
may not have taste and adaptability.
Good females of pure-bred beef
stock bring high prices and he would
need a considerable number Of pure
bred COWS to make a good start. But
with a bull he can in a few years have
a herd of COWS that will make it pos
sible to send to market highgrade
beeves-market toppers. For the beef
maker, then. this is about the only
course possible, and it is the course
that is recommended by the breeders
of purebred stock.
In selecting herd of cows for
breeding up, says Farmers Review, a
man should try TO get animals in
keeping with the breed of the bull he
intends to buy. Thus, if he is going
to use a pure-bred Shorthorn bull, he
should pick up COWS having the gen.
eral conformation OF the Shorthorns.
He will find 1t easy to secure good ami
mails having in them considerable
Shorthorn blood, though these animals
would have be regarded, in his breed
ing operations, as without any pure
blood, simply because the buyer would
not generally know how much Short
horn blood such animals contained.
The same is true in the use of pure
bred bulls of any breed. If a man
buys a Hereford bull he should hunt
up COWS having some Of the general
conformation of Herefords and use
these for his breeding operations.
If such animals cannot be secured in
his own vicinity he can generally
find them at the big stock markets
and get them at meat prices. The
breeding-up process offers many ad-
vantages that the other process does
not offer.

IN Pen 2, and so on until the pens are
full Then we begin to remove them
one at a time to the large pen for
ewes and lambs. When the lambs are
about two weeks old they will begin
TO eat some small grain. A pen for
this purpose has been made Gig. u
and is provided with small grain boxes
on two sides. The ends are made Of
portable gates.
A small creep hole will be noticed in
the gate between the lamb pen and
the ewes and lambs through which
the lambs can pass. These gates may
be removed the next fall and again
give the flock the entire barn. The
gate marked X, can be set back to
any desired place and thereby enlarge
the pen and rack room, as more OF
them have lambs.
The gates in the small pens can be
made so that by opening them back
to the right or left it will make an
alley through which any sheep can be
driven outside; the others are closed
up in their pens.
The hay and feed racks are of a
good type; those around the wall Gig.

Arrangement of Building Which VIII

ing has become the leading &C.

and pay large profit. We

light in handling them, especially dur

is the Shropshire, although we have
a few Cotswolds and Hampshires. The
latter are good hardy lamb raisers.
We prefer Shropshires, as they have
closer wool and endure more bad
