REBATE, 23 YEARS OLD.
Railroad Redeemed Old Promise in
 Meriden.

A five cent rebate on one of the old est tickets ever presented to the New York New Haven & Hartford road was given Thursday by ticket agent Russell at the Merfden station The ticket was issued by a conductor on a train to a passenger who paid his fare in cash in the year of 1887, thus mak- ing the ticket 23 years old.
 The New Haven road lost nothing on ihe transaction and gained five cents, the amount of the rebate. as the five cents if placed on interest at 5 per cent. 20 years ago would have eqialed itself today. The road had the use of the nickel for 23 years and in that time the interest repaid the original amount.

STRANGE PAIR VISIT PAW PAW
Midget Couple on Journey Around
the World. Lady Rides in Little
Wagon Drawn by Husband.

A strange pair OF midgets visited Paw
Paw, Thursday, and attracted consider
able attention on the streets. The little
couple are Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Shaw Of
Rochester, n. Y. who have started on a
unique trip of $4,000 miles around the
world on wager OF Sl2, 900 and dia-
mond medal. The little woman, who
weighs but 80 pounds, rides IN a small
wagon but little larger than the common
express wagon. 1t is nicely cushioned,
has a hack TO the seat and is decorated
with American flags. The wagon is
drawn by the husband, whose weight is
l03 pounds.
The strange outfit left Rochester, N
Y. on March %, 1910, and have already
travelled 1888 miles and are four days
ahead of their schedule. To win the
wager they must reach home on their
return September %, 1918. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Greener OF Cleveland, Ohio
are contestants for the diamond medal
They arrived in town from Kalamazoo
at 2:45, and were Immediately checked
up" by Postmaster Warner, as is their
custom at every stop. They stopped at
Drew's restaurant while in the city, and
we're interviewed by The True North
erner while there. Both are very cour'
teous and talkative, and while they are
diminutive in size, they appear amply
able to take care Of themselves. Bott

TROUT SEASON
OPENED SUNDAY
Every Trout Stream in
Country Whipped by
Fishermen.
KAz0O ANGLERS SUCCESSFUL
Caught Fine Strings at Glen Springs
Hatchery. Silver Hook Only
Tackle Needed.

The trout season opened last Sunday
and every disciple of Isaac Walton whose
conscience would allow him to break
one of the ten commandments was out
to his favorite stream long before the
break OF day. The season did not have
very auspicious opening. The heavy
rains of the preceding week made the
streams roily and the trout were not es
pecia(ly hungry. This did not keep the
fishermen away, however, and it is re
ported that in some places along the
creeks paths were worn in the soil be-
fore daylight that will have to be filled
with pillow and scraper before it will Oe
safe to whip" the streams again before
day light.
Many of the Paw Paw anglers came
home empty handed, but some were
more fortunate, and several good catches
were reported, besides any number of
big ones that got away.
The Kalamazoo papers state that many
of the Kalamazoo sportsmen who came
over into Van Buren, county returned
with fine strings. IT may be interesting
To our brother scrbes of the celery city
to know that some of their fishermen
have found the place where the size aud
length OF the string one may take away
is only limited 10y the size of the pocket
book. Glen Springs trout hatchery is
the place. 1t is on branch of the Paw
Paw river and easily accessible from the
Lawton station The ponds there are
alive with the speckled beauties, and
there is genial attendant always on
hand to show visitors where they live
scoop them from the pond and see them
safely deposited in the anglers creel, at
70 cents per pound The proprietors of
Glen Springs did a rushing business last
Sunday and the Kalamazoo sportsmen
were well satisfied, promising to angle
there often.

Detroit Firm. Gigantic Sale Starts
Next Thursday Morning.

The " II. Holden Co. have sold their

Mr.. Holden likes Paw Paw and the bus
lness here, but the great distance from
his other interests has made it almost
impossible for him to give this store the
personal attention it deserves.
Mr.. Ackley is a gentleman of high
standing. For the past ten years be has
been travelling salesman for Durham

apparently hustler, and with his long
experience in the wholesale drygoods
business, we feel sure he will give Paw
Paw mercantile business that will
maintain and even surpass the reputa.

the "Old Cummings store"
Mr.. Ackley has leased the store build
ing for a term of years, and will move
his family here as soon as a suitable
home can be secured.
The store was closed Tuesday for in
ventory, and will remain closed till next
Thursday morning, .aay II. The con-
tract calls for the Holden Co. to reduce
the stock one-half in ten days. This
will be done by the power of slaugh-
tered prices. The large circulars will
tell the prices.
Mr.. Holden has made many friends
during his short stay IN Paw Paw who
have entertained hopes that he would
locate here permanently. The True
Northerner joins In wishing him well,
where ever be may be. and in extending
to his successor cordial welcome. We

LARGE CROWD At TAX SALE
Annual Sale of Delinquent Tax Lands
Held Tuesday. One Hundred and
Seven Descriptions Sold.

A large crowd of people from all Sec
tioDs of the county gathered at the
county treasurer's Office on Tuesday to
attend the annual sale of delinquent tax
lands. There were 100 descriptions of
land offered for sale and 107 we're sold.
The amount OF money received was ap-
proximately $4,000.
These lands we're such as had been
taken over by the state for the non pay
ment of taxes. There were 207 descrip-
tions advertised for sale, but many OF
the former owners paid up the delin-
quent taxes before the day OF the sale.
On the descriptions that were sold the
former owners have one year in which
70 redeem the same. Very few descrip,
tions are, however, ever redeemed and
usually the successful bidder gets an alb
solute deed of the property at the end
of one year.

NORMAL DEFEATED
The LOCAL TEAM
Good Game at Athletic Park Last Sat
urday. Locals Lost 5 to 3. Math-
er Gets IL Strike Outs.

The Western State Normal base ball
team took the Paw Paw high school
team into camp last Saturday at Athlet-
ic park by the score of 3 to 3. 1t was a
fairly good game, but the score does not
indicate the respective strength of the
two teams. Paw Paw played rather
loosely on the start, allowing the nor
mails to get their five runs across the
plate in the first four innings. Paw Paw
then tightere ed up, and the visitors were
unable to again make the circuit.
The locals were handicapped by the
absence of backstop Fuller, although
Lake did fairly well behind the bat. 1t
took him about four inning to get his
eye on Mather's benders, but after that
he caught good game.
Mather had IL strikeouts to his credit
This being his first game of the season,
makes the prospects look good for the
locals. Downing took Lakes place at
third, making a clean record, and pound
ing out three hits.

R.-W. Broughton made the hit of the

itics under the present system. He re-
ferred to some meo who spend so much
time singing I'VE Shall Know Each

time to "Know Each Other Here."~

DETROIT PRISON
FOR ARMSTRONG
Former Warden of Jack
son Prison Got one yr.
and $4,000 Fine.
SELF CONFESSED CRATER
Accepted Bribes, Indicted on Many
Counts. Was Former Post
master at Cassopolis.

Allen n Armstrong OF Cassopolis,
former warden of the Jackson state
prison and self-confessed CRATER, WAS
sentenced by Judge Parkinson of the
jackson county circuit court on Monday
last to serve one year in the Detroit
house of correction and to pay fine of
$1,000 for accepting a bribe while at the
head of the state prison.
1t was not generally known that Arm
strong was to receive his sentence at
that time, as very few people outside of
the attorneys and regular court attaches
were present in court. Mrs. Armstrong
was 10 the city with her husband, but
was induced not to 60 to the court room
with him and remained in his attorneys
office. She is an estimable lady, loved
and respected by all who know her and
Is nearly Frustrated over the affair.
Armstrong undoubtedly anticipated
his sentence as the fine was paid to the
clerk of the court Immediately after
passing sentence. He was taken in Gus
tody by the sheriff and later to Detroit
to commence his sentence. His attorney
made strong appeal to the court for
clemency in the hopes of saving his eli.
ent the disgrace of going to prison.
Allen n. Armstrong was formerly post
master at Cassopolis andis well known
here. Up to the time of his downfall at
jackson he was held in high esteem by
all who knew him. The story of his
crime is still fresh in the cinds of all
and it is yet a query in the minds OF
many of his former associates aud
friends why he became crooked. He re-
ceived a good salary, was apparently
well to do, and man of good habits.
But temptation fell in his way and be
fell. 1t is said that he is now practically
penniless.
