PURSE OF S10O RAISED
FOR PROF. EhRHART

The people Of Grand Rapids were
greatly saddened by the accident
which befell the balloonist, Prof
Ehrhart, while making his second
ascension Monday night in which he
lost his life in the mill pond of the
Consolidated w. P. & P. Co. Their
sympathy for the young widow and
orphan baby was made substantial
by the raising of a purse of 500
which they will send them as a
mark of his heroism displayed in
this city by making two ascensions
in one day, and also as a mark of
esteem and respect in which he was
held by the people of this city. Mr..
Ehrhart was an upright gentleman
OF good habits and industrious and
working hard to make a liylihood for
and family. The wife and
lapy, and. all his relatives have the
sympathy of this community in this
hour of their bereavement.

SPRINKLING NOT
THOROUGH ENOUGH

Recently there has been consider
able complaint on the part of bust
ness people that the sprinkling on
main street has not been sufficient.
Now whether the weather has been
unusually hot and the territory too
great for the present accommodations
We cannot say, but there is consid-
erable foundation for the complaint
that the sDrinkling has not been suf-
ficient during this extreme dry, hot
weather. In other words the same
territory is not sprinkled otter
enough in hot weather to keep the
dust down. We know that Mr..
Goldberg is doing the best he can,
but we think he has got too much
territory to cover with the two
sprinlklers he now has in use. What
is the remedy?

HALF PAST FIVE WHISTLE
BLOWS NO MORE

1t has been the custom of the T.
McKinnon Manufacturing Company OF
blowing heavy, deep sounding
whistle in connection with their
manufacturing plant on The west side
every morning at $50 o'clock, so as
to act as a signal for workmen III
the city to arise to prepare them
selves for labor of the day. This
has been the custom for the past 80
years, until this week., and we under
stand now that it has been discOn-
tinued on account of some of the
people who stop at the Dixon and
other hotels in the city complain
that it disturbs their rest at that
early hour in the morning. On the
other hand many laboring people of
the city regret the change, because
this whistle has always been a sig
nal and an announcement Of the
hour for them to arise and prepare
for the days work The discoptin-
uance of the blowing Of this whistle
is not only displeasing to some, but
pleasing to others. At least the
management Of that institution have
stopped blowing this whistle at this
hour after a period of 80 years con
tinuous daily announcement Of $50

Ii. Ii S. YOUKER TO
LEAVE CITY
Resigns His Position as Supt.
OF City SchOOlS---Prof. C. w.
SChWede Succeeds Him.

At a regular meeting of the
School Board Tuesday evening, H. S.
Youker, city superintendent of our
public schools, rendered his resigna-
tion to accept position with the
State Normal school at Oshkosh, as
Supervisor of Practice Work. His
resignation was reluctantly accepted
from the fact that he has been here
for many years and labored hard for
the upbuilding of an excellent
school system, second to none in this
state. His efficiency and success has
gone out and he has been offered a
position more to his liking. with a
broader and larger field to work in.
His place will be hard to fill, but
the School Board Immediately ten
dered the vacancy to his able and
hard-working assistant, Prof. c.. w.
SchWede, the one person who would
be the most likely to fill his place
on account Of his long and faithful
SCl FACSS DIS assistant. 10lS S6l6c-
ton to fill the vacancy meets with
the hearty approval of the student
body as we'll as the people of Grand
Rapids as a whole
We will be sorry to lose Mr.. and
Mrs. H. S. Youker from our midst as
they have been popular in church
and society circles and will be great
1y missed in Eastern Star circles
where they have been earnest work
ers as officers and where Mrs. Youk-
er is now the very popular Worthy
Matron of the order. Their going
from our midst will be regretted by
all those who enjoy their acuuaint-
ance. Our great loss will be Osh-
kosh's gain. While Mr. Youker will
have a wider field to work and grow
in, they will never accumulate a
warmer, or more affectionate regard
for their excellent traits of char
acter and affection in the hearts of
any people, than they have enjoyed
in Grand Rapids. We commend them
both to the people in Oshkosh worthy
Of a warm place in the hearts of
their best people which we know
they will win.

BICYCLE HEAD ON COLLISION

Friday afternoon about 500 o'clock
Roy Peltier delivery boy for Love &
Cypress meat dealers, was coming
down First Street North and going
at a rapid rate upon his bicycle from
First Street North to Second Street
North, and while entering Second
street the wind was blowing hard
from the north and while in the clOuC
of dust thus caused by the wind he
collided with young man, who is
visiting in the city by the name Of
Harvey Sheldon, who was also rid
ing on a bicycle north on Second
street. They colIided together while
under full speed just south Of the
city hay scales. The collision was
so sudden and with such force that it
Knocked Roy PeItier senseless. The
worknen, who are stretching wires
for the Electric Light company, ran
to the scene of the accident and
picked up the lifeless body of Roy
Peltier, carried him over to the city
water tank and finally brought him
to by washing his head freely with
cold water. The boy was uncon-
scious for about five or ten minutes.
After he was revived, A. j. Has
brouck took him home with his auto
mobile and we understand that the
boy is all right again Both boys
were fortunate in not having any
bones broken, for one of the bicycles
was badly crippled in the collision.

T-WEMTY-THREE SALOON
LICENSES GRANTED

The common council met Friday
evening for the purpose of passing
upon and granting saloon licenses.
Of the twenty-seven applications,
twenty-three were granted. The ex-
ceptions were Harry Gee, Garry Ma
son, John Dix, Hagermaster Brewing
Company.
The objection to Harvey Gees ap-
plication was because he wanted the
application to be granted for his
building located in the city park.
Garry Mason was refused a license
on account of three different com
plants charged against him during
the past year.
John Dix, after making the appli-
cation had practically decided to
leave town and did so.
The Hagermaster Brewing Com
pany was denied license because
they made it through an individual,
who was also asking for a license
for himself and therefore the one
person could not have two licenses
granted in his name.
All other applications were grant
ed.

B0G0GER CASE TO BE AP-
PEALED TO SUPREME COURT

At the regular meeting of the
Common Council Tuesday night up
on request of Geo. l.. Williams, city
attorney, the case of the city OF
Grand Rapids VS.. NJ A. Bogoger
and his wife, Rosa Bogoger, it was
unanimously decided TO appeal from
the decision rendered in the circuit
court in the trial of said case. 1t
will be remembered that in the
trial of said action the defendants
were granted a verdict of $4,000 and
the costs Of suit.
1t is the opinion of the city at
torney that this verdict can be set
aside and the members of the Com
mon Council share in this opinion.
The attorney is so positive that he
will charge the city nothing for his
services in the appeal if he cannot
succeed in a reversal of this ver-
dict. So the issues will be tried
out in the Supreme court.
Other legal proceedings will now
be commenced to force NJ. A. Bo-
goger off the 20-foot strip parallel
ing Vine street. 1t is our opinion
that Vine street will be an ex-
pensive matter for the city before
the litigation is done with. There
is strong disposition to fight on
both sides and the people will pay
for the experience.

SUCCESS TALKS
DIR. MADISON c. PETER
ENTHUSIASM THE DRIVING POWER.

When impelled by enthusiasm men
carry their work to h highest point
of material success. AS the tide VIII
not allow anything to stem Its flow,
neither will enthusiasm let oppo-
sition overcome it, every barrier is
the summit gained, the desire real
lied, the ambition attained.
To a man sneering at excitement, a
western editor pithily remarked:
There is only one thing can be done
in this world without enthusiasm and
that is to rot"
Enthusiasm is the inspiration of all
tha is great. 1t has led armies to
victories, 1t has erected colossal tenn
pies INC towers, 1t has chiseled the
most perfect of statues, 1t has painted
the most beautiful it q
stimulated the most sublime endeavors,
1t has given us the choicest gems OF
poetry, it has rayished our soul with
the sweetest music n has conferred
inestimable blessings on the world. It's
very nature is uplifting, it strength
ems the will, gives force to the thought
and nerves the hand until what was
only a possibility becomes a reality.
1t makes sunshine to all whom 1t bless
es with its happy spirit.
II you do not have 1t already, get It;
life is not worth living without 1t.
He fails alone who feebly creeps. II
harder try. If fortune plays you false
today. 1t may be true tomorrow.
Never dread danger, and from you 1t
will fly. The real difference between
men is enthusiastic energy, an in
vincible determination and the spirit
that, Micawberlike, waits for some
thing to turn Up. Turn UP something
yourself. Have the spirit of the old
Indian. who, when wrestling with a
much-dried venison. was asked DO

Mary, an Alaskan bear cub, burrowed

Attracted by the holiday and the beau

thronged with visitors yesterday, and
the rude bird took advantage of the oc-
casion to reyile Mary while the bear
was receiving the attention of a host
of children, who regard the u and her

was the last straw for the ~long-suffer-

OF the bear. which they found sitting
under a limb on which the parrot was
perched just out of reach.
The bird was fluttering its wings in
the face OF the cub and sputtering un-
speakable insults when the posse ar
rived. Various plans, from roping to
shooting, were suggested as the best
means Of subduing the bear, but a park
employee who knows Mary's pet weak
