IT DOESN'T PAY.

It doesn't pay to kill people.
 There is nothing in it. It is not
 punishment because, in tho language
 of the old KentacRy feudist who
 finally gave up the fight, the dead
 man don t know The punishment
 is all with the party who does the
 killing. .''-Exchange
 Although we never killed anybody, and, hence, cannot say positively that this is true, we think it is, nevertheless. We do not believe, save in very, very rare exceptions, taking the entire num- Der of killings for the past twenty years. say, that anything has been set tied by them, or any one of them. We even doubt the very, very rare excep- tions mentioned.
 Was anything settled, for instance, when Carmack was killed; when Stan ford White was killed; when Annis was killed? Absolutely and utterly noth- ingl No great principle was vindi- cated; nobody's "honor,'' even, was preserved intangible thing we call "honor," what a wide variety of meanings attaches to 1t anyway! It is indisputable, however, that every sep arate one of these tragedies left an abundant measure of woe, regret, re morse, and bitterness in it's wake. The end is not in sight for the perpetratoI of any of these deeds-but the dead they do not know. They are at rest at peace!
 What a hollow thing is mean re venge! It reacts upon the man who in vokes it thousand times more crush ingly than it wounds the man toward whom it is directed. You do not pun ish man--even one who has injured you--by revenging yourself upon him; not at all. There is another way tc reach him; way that is orderly and decent. People do not always choose that way, because they fancy, somehow it is not manly to do it. Think of 2 man being afraid to do right!
 No; 1t does not pay to kill people, VI think. As the paper says, "It is mol punishment '-that is, it is not punish ment where punishment is intended Better leave vengeance to higher power. 1T will repay" saith th' Lord!

AN IMPORTANT STEP.

The application by Geo. W. P. Hunt and associates for a street railway franchise over certain streets within the city limits of Globe is a move of very great significance and one that promises well for the Greater Globe.
 While the promoters of this enter prise have not disclosed their plans, 1t is pretty safe prediction to make that their application for a franchise within the city win be followed by a similar application to the county board of SUI pervisors, and with these concessions granted, work will early be rushed on splendid system of interurban rail roads, with Globe the great pulsating heart of this wonderful network of glistening steel.
 The necessity for such road has been pointed out time and again by the Silver Belt and 1t is gratifying to note that one of the city's most influential business men has taken the initial step. No doubt eastern capital will consum- mate the scheme, but that is exactly what Globe wants-outside money.
 The building of this line of street railways means that Globe will main tain her commercial supremacy in the face of all corners, not rstarding, but on the contrary, aiding in the work of upbuilding suburban residential sec tions and thrifty little camps.
 While the city line proper will be a source of great convenience, at this time it can be scarcely looked upon with favor as an investment unless, perchance, one takes peep into the not far distant future. The simple an- nouncement of the intention to promte such an enterprise paves the way and opens the gates to its success.
 The growth of the suburban districts during the next two or three years will be wonderful-almost phenomenal-and adequate transportation facilities will SASc duucu AihPSbuo " tuc iuofC1ucAS which should be encouraged by Globe in every way. Copper Hill is, at pres ent, a thriving little settlement. A town is rapidly springing up around the Superior & Boston and Arizona Commercial properties and the develop ment of the Arizona Michigan calls for another settlement. Miami, the new town, bearing the name of the powerful mining company, will be one of Globe s largest suburbs. There is no doubt but what the proposed line will penetrate these points and folio wrapidly in the wake of other mining developments. The promoters of the proposed line should receive liberal consideration at the hands of the authorities and the people generally.

Ann Arbor Shops Closed.

While but part of the men employ.
ed at the Ann Arbor car shops have
been kept busy during the winter
months and the schedule had been re-
duced to five hours per day, it was not
thought the shops would be closed en-. Z
tirely and the hope was general that
full time would soon be the rule. This
hope was dispelled when a notice was
posted Saturday stating that the shops
would be closed indefinitely. 1t is
understood that much of the repair
work is to be done at Jackson, Ohio, in
the shops of the D., 7. g. l. Ry., which
has been operated under the same man
agement as the Ann Arbor. However,
as the latter road went into the hands
of a receiver Saturday it is thought pos
sible that work may be resumed here

WHY ALL THESE QUESTIONS.
Possibility of the Curtailment Of
Rural Mail Service.

The Owosso postmaster, and it is
presumed all others in the county, has
received blanks to be filled answering
the following questions touching each
route: Length of route, miles of pub
lie road, miles of private roads, miles of
macadam, gravel. earth, sandy roads,
are roads properly drained and graded,
are building materials available;
number of approved and non approved
boxes, number of families served; in
Hcate from official description of route
roads urgently needing repairs, what
repairs are needed, bridges and culverts
needing repairs; is the road drag used
on earth roads: are weeds and under
brush cut from the roadside; how are
funds provided for building and repair
ing roads-by property or by labor tax;
approximate amount of money ex-
pended on roads covered by route since
route was established; is there any gen.
eral movement to secure better roads,
have farm values increased since the
establishment of the route, what per
cent; do officials give prompt attention
to needed repairs give name and post
Office address of officer in charge of
roads on this route how many days
during the last year has service been
wholly or partially suspended owing to
bad roads.
All these questions go to show that
the post office officials at Washington
want to know if the people appreciate
rural delivery enough to do their part
by making the roads better each year,
In some parts of the country the SER
vice has been curtailed where no inter
est is shown by the people in the mat
ter of road improvement. 1t is to be
hoped that no route in Shiawassee
county will be shortened on this ac-
count Who would dare predict the
result if every postmaster tells the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth in his reply

Death of James x. sartrem

Death came to the relief of James K.
Bartrem at an early hour Saturday
morning at his home on North Oak
street. Several months ago Mr.. Bart
rem suffered considerable pain on one
side of his face and supposing the
trouble to come from his teeth some of
them were taken cut, afterward a por-
tion Of his jaw bone and then 1T deyel-
oped he was suffering from a cancer.
He was treated in Detroit for some time
and then at cancer hospital in Ohio.
1t was impossible, however, to stay the
disease and Mr.. Bartrem returned home
prepared to meet the inevitable end.
Mr.. Bartrem was born in Canada, 40
years ago, came to Owosso when a
young man and for many years had
been employed either at the Woodland
Furniture factory or that of the Estey
Mfg. Co., being in the employ of the
latter company in its packing room for
over twenty years. He was good
citizen, commanding the respect of a
wide circle of friends, and his death is
sincerely regretted. He had been one
of the active workers in Wilson Tent

Medical Meeting.

The Shiawassee County Medical So
ciety held its regular monthly meeting
at the Office of DR.. r. e. Mahaney in
this city on Tuesday evening, Feb. A.
The attendance was fair considering the
amount of general sickness prevailing.
DR.. J. o. Parker addressed the meeting
on the value Of the X.ray as diagnos-
tic agency in surgical cases. He in
been successful in removing foreign
bodies from vario us parts of the human
anatomy, having ascertained their ex-
act location by means of the X-ray-
such, for example, as needles, gun caps,
bullets, etc. Also in the reduction of
fractures the X-ray was a valuable aid
in ascertaining the exact position of the
broker. bones.
Professor c. G. Darling, of the Uni
versitY, made a splendid address on
Methods and Results in Hyperemia
The address was simple, cleancut and
of greatspractical value to the listeners
He briefly described the different meth
DDS and various devices used to bring
about hyper@mic condition; the prac-
tical application of these appliances and
namedlthe various conditions to which
such treatment was applicable. He
found it of much value in tubercu-
lar joints, onichia, sluggish ulcers,
unhealed sinuses and ununited frac-
lures. The field of its usefulness
was varied and wide. One thing he
particularly cautioned his hearers about
was not to induce too active hypere
mia, nor too along continued, It was
natures aid to restore normal condi.
tions by washing out infection and in
iammatory deposits.
The address was highly appreciated
d, by the society. A general discussion
followed and many pertinent questions
were asked and answered. DR.. Darling
is general favorite with this society
and the splendid surgical work he has
done for people Of this county entities
him to the highest consideration and
kindest regard.
After the meeting a general social
session was immensely enjoyed, remin
iscences, story telling and banter were
indulged in to the extent that only doc
tors can equal. Refreshments were
served, and when they disbauded, the
doctors all felt that those hours spent
together were the bright spots of Their
lives-lives unavoidably spent amidst
the suffering, the sorrows and the
calamities which beset human existence

Ineenius Fellow This One Was.

Under the above heading three OF our
exchanges gave place to the following
item last week, the name of the town
being changed to suit the paper. 1t is
rather strange how smartness will de-
velope'along certain line in two or
three cities at one time.
"A--man has hit upon novel
plan for lodging the paying of house
rent. He had been served with a no
tice to leave a certain house because he
had not paid rent. At the last possible
moment he could remain without being
forcibly evicted he moved out. La the
second house he repeated the expert
ment, did not pay rent, was served no
tice and at the expiration of the legal
limit, moved into third house. The
dodge had become second nature to him
and he let the new landlord "holler
down the we'll for his pay. Then the
man showed his ingenuity by moving
back, when he had actually had to
move, into the house No. 1. He hap
pened to have key to the house, and
in the dead of night he moved his goods
into the house from which he once had
been legelly evicted. Landlords are
now getting next" to him and where
the fellow will go when by operation of
law he has to get out again he has not
yet figured out.
