w. G. 7. u.

The subject for the meeting of the
Owosso w. C.T.U. held Friday, May IA,
was "Child Labor" Excellent papers
were read on the subject by Mesdames
Colby, Butler, and Bailey. Knowing
that large percent of the children who
are forced into this slavery are the vic
Tins of the poverty induced by the use
of strong drink, we urge as the most
potent factor in remedying this crying
evil, the outlawing of the saloon.
Music was furnished by Miss Daisy
Sutton and Miss Dora Thorn. Little
Hazel vanSickle sang "The drunkard
and the saloonkeeper. The delegates
to the state convention to be held in
Battle Greek, June 1st to 4th, are Mes
danes Hook, Parkill, Policy, Stevens,

The Federal Building.

The work on the walls of the post
Office building is now complete except
the setting of the eagle which goes on
the front. Work was commenced the
last Of the week on the roof, the rafters
now all being placed and good share
of the sheeting on. On Wednesday the
timers began their work and it is ex-
pected that within two weeks the roof
will be finished The plumbers have
also been very busy for some days and
are getting well along with their con-
tract. Preparations are being made to
put in the concrete work for the floors
and to begin on the plastering. The
tearing down of the scaffolding used on
the outside of building has greatly i'm.
proved its appearance while the
clearing off of the rubbish on the
premises and the grading of the lot will
make a still greater difference. The
contractors have been hampered some
what during the week because of the
fact that it is almost impossible to EN-
ploy carpenters at present.

Escaped on a Technically.

After spending a week in the count y
Jail Joseph NJ. Rose was brought before
Justice McCaughna, Tuesday, charged
with obtaining money by false pretens-
es by organizing clubs for the purchase
of clothing, the purchasers each paying
stated amount weekly. After carry
ing on the business for some time Rose
left the city leaving large number OF
men to mourn his sudden going. AT
the examination it developed that he
could not be held criminally and that
recovery could be had by civil suit il
Rose was good. The contracts were
very cleverly drawn and allowed Rose
to escape. The chances are that here
after the patrons of this club will dc
business with reliable business firms
Mr.. Rose returned at once to Soutf
Bend, Ind, where he is employed in
factory.

Vert Admitted to Bail

Sheriff Watson reached home Sunday
from Pocatello, Idaho, bringing with
him Alva E. Vert. whose arrest was
noted last week. Mr. Vert was arraing-
ned Monday on charge of desel ting
his wife and children and demanded an
examination which will be held on the
25th. Meanwhile he is out on $500 bail
furnished by his father and uncle, John
G.. Vert. 1t is expected that Vert will
furnish bond to care for his children
and that the charges against him will
not be pressed, especially as his wife
has secured divorce and been given
possession of the home and children.
Whether the friends of the woman he
ran away with and married under an
assumed name will prefer charges is not
known. Since leaving Vert has paid a
number of claims held against him by
Laingsburg parties.

Will Probably Pave Washington and
Oliver Streets.

Action taken at the council meeting
Monday evening was favorable toward
paving Washington street from Mason
to Oliver and Oliver from Second to
Dewey. The main opposition now
seems to be within the council and up
on the question of what per cent of the
cost should be assessed upon the city at
large. AS precedent was established
when Michigan Ave. was paved by the
city paying forty per cent it does not
seem that there should be any opposi-
tion now to the same per cent being
paid on these two streets and the same
rule should apply to all streets which
are hereafter paved. If the work is to
be done this season it should not be de.
layed as it is very important that Oliver
street be in good shape before the heavy
tonnage of beets has to be hauled over il
in the fall.

Death of Representative Colby.

Representative Sheridan J. Colby of
Detroit, died in that city on Wednesday
after sickness of several weeks, lung
trouble being the cause of death. He
was born near Shaftsburg, this county.
in 1864 and resided there until 1888,
when he removed to Detroit and accept
ed position as a canvasser, after
ward as street car conductor and while
holding this job studied law at a night

as representative from the city of De

Petition for Sewer.

A number of the property owners re-
siding in the northern part of the city
have petitioned the council to order
built the main trunk sewer OF the
North Owosso sewer district, running
from Hickory street on Janette to Null
berry, north on Mulberry and thence
west to the river, while others have
asked for lateral sewer on Washing
ton and Park streets, the sewers to be
both sanitary and surface. 1t is not as
vet known what action will be taken on
the petition but the board of public
works and council cannot order any
other piece of work done in the city
which will be as great benefit as the
construction of this main sewer, giving
opportunity later on to run latterals In
to it which will provide sewerage foI
nearly all the northern portion OF the
city. AS this work must some time be
done it seems as we'll to undertake il
this year as next or the year following
While the expense would be necessarily
quite heavy the district to be assessed
for the main line would be large, thus
spreading the tax so that it would no
be burdensome except in a few cases
Once the sewer is built and its benefits
realized the city authorities would b.
commended for ordering it.
