eSSary to sustain our bodies. The disease is caused by an eX- cess of uric acid in the blood, which gets into the cir culation because of indi- geStion, constipation, weak kidney action, and other ir- regulariieS of the system, which are sometimes consid- cred of no importance. This uric acid produces aninAamed and acrid condition of the blood, and the circulation, in stead of nouriShing the differ ent portions of the body, con linually deposits into the nerves, muscles, joints and bones the irritating pain-pro- ducing acid with which it is filled. Then follow the pain ful and tOrturing symptoms Of Rheumatism. The very life and vitality of the blood is being destroyed by the uric acid poison, and every muscle, nerve and SineW of the body suffers in consequence.

Mrs. Donsereaux Buys Business.

Mrs. A. M. Donsereaux succeeded
in purchasing the A. NJ. DonsereauS
& Co. dry goods stock late this ar
ternoon, outbidding number OF
town bidders, who came to the city
for a chance at the deal. The stock
was sold at public auction by J. s.
Dufie, who represented Edison
Moore & Co., of Detroit, which firm
lleld trust mortgage.
The stock was inventoried at $43,.
81 but Mrs. DonsereauX bid it in for
$2S,000. The bidding was exceed.
ingly slow, starting off with the offer
of $4,000. The out-of-town bidders
present were fearful of entering into
competition with the widow of the
merchant, because of the fact that
the lease of the building was in Mr.
DonsereauXs name. His wife
through her attorney, Judge Per-
son, threatened to fight any one who
should get the goods and the strang-
ers were afraid of the cost of litiga-
ton.
Mr.. Duffie tried to hustle the bid
ding along but once the raise above
the last bid was only $50 and at an.
other time it was but $500. FIRE.
quent warnings were made that the
auctioneer would not take all the af-
ternoon with the business. "We're
fixing up combine" said voice at
the rear of the crowd. But the COM
bine was too slow, and the stock was
sold to Mrs. Donsereaux. Immed-
lately many friends present chered
heartily and the crowd swayed in
the direction of the successful wo-
man so that a small reception OF
some minutes ollowed-Lansine g

Sunday Baseball Games Still Illegal.

Some of the newspapers of Michigan
shame on them-evidently wish TO
have Sunday ball games as they are
telling their readers that the supreme
court has held that Sunday ball games
are legal. The decision held nothing OF
the kind. The court did hold that Sun
day baseball playing was not necessa-
riIy breach of the peace, though it
may often be a breach of the peace,
and perhaps usually is" the court ad-
ded.
This point was the only one involved,
and the decision does not in any sense
make Sunday baseball games lawful.
1t merely says they possibly are not al
ways breaches of the peace, and there
fore there might possibly be instances
in which officers could not make sum-
mary arrests-that is, arrests without
warrant. On the other hand the court
plainly intimates that such games us
ually" are breaches of the peace and
therefore a sheriff usually would be
sustained in summary arrests. In case
the sheriff should order Sunday
baseball crowd to dispense because of
breaches of the peace, and they refus-
ed, he could make arrests without
warrant of all persons so refusing.
The decision does not relate in any
manner to the so-called Sunday law
which makes all such proceedings on
Sunday unlawful. An effort doubtless
will be made to make this court decis-
ion appear to be something different
from what it is and to encourage boys
and men to again begin Sunday ball
games, which were wisely suspended
several years ago as the result of at
tention being called to their illegality
and their subversive effect upon pub
lie morals; but all persons who may
be deluded into playing will be subject
to arrest, and it still remains the duty
of the sheriff to stop all such unlaw-
full proceedings.
The decision in question in no way
reverses the case which went to the
supreme court from this county some
years ago when Rev. John Sweet and
others undertook to and did stop Sun
day ball games.

firmly of the opinion that the resolu-
tions and petitions that were sent to
legislators during his term did not
have the effect they ought. Mr.. Cook
believes that a private letter sent di-
rectly to your legislator has much
greater influence than resolution or
petition.
Debate, Resolved, That the Agri-
cultural Vocation Offers Superior In
ducements to the Young Man of To-
day." Affirmative, Harold Richard
son; negative, Theron GLADDEN.. Mr..
Richardson upheld that agriculture Of
fered honorable, Independent and
profitable vocation to any young man
who would devote business tact to
managing the soil. Mr.. GLADDEN. be-
lieves that the city offers better wages
and less working hours. A. l.. Chand-
ler opened the discussion and urged
young men to go slow in hurrying into
the city as the one mile man never
achieved great success where compe-
tition was close.
What May be Considered Attrac-
tions in the Home" was the subject of
an excellent paper presented by Mrs.
Julia Moore. 1t is difficult to answer
this question thought Mrs. Moore, be-
cause what attracts one person does
not another. Neat, tidy surroundings
always attract attention and add
much to the appearance of country
homes. Plenty of good reading ma
terial in the home is excellent.
Prof. A. j. Cook, Claremont College,
California, was present and gave a
very interesting talk on the sub
ject of humus in the soil. Professor
Cook feels that farmers do not near
appreciate the great importance of
plenty of humus in their soils. Humus
gives life and vitality to the land con-
serves moisture and assists tillage.
Farmers should apply more manure
and plow under green crops to feed
the soil and to increase bacterial ac-
tion.
Excellent music and songs were
rendered during the afternoon by Mr..
and Mrs. Ed. Whelan and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Lemon and Frank
Moore that added a great deal to the
program.
Supper was served on the spacious
lawn and was highly enjoyed by all.
