PIANO HAS ARRIVED
II is Beauty THE Malbar'-On Dis.
play at the Idlehour

The piano which has been advertised
in the Banner TO be given away in the
popular girl contest which is now on,
arrived Tuesday direct from the factory
in Chicago and has been placed in the
display window at the Idlehour theatre
one of the most prominent places in the
business portions of the city, where
everybody is invited to inspect it and
all who desires, are invited To play on it,.
The girls especially, who are now
working in the contest and any other
who may wish to become contestants
are cordially invited TO play on it or
get any musician TO test it for them.
1t is one of the high grade and would
grace the parlor of any home in the
county. The prize is one worth trying
for and the girl who turns in the most
money on subscriptions during the con-
test, will surely get il. A hundred new
subscriptions would count $4,000 votes
and surely with little hustling il
would be an easy matter TO get that
many and whole lot more.
Those who have already played on
the piano, pronounce it excellent in
touch and tone and are profuse in their
praise for the enterprise Of the Banner
in giving away such fine instrument.
Let every girl get busy at once.

Muskegon Wants Electric
Road to Flint by the Way
of Belding
TO CONNECT WITHD.U.R.
Light and Traction Co. to
Cooperate With Detroit United
i'm Its Construction

A proposition has been put up To the
Detroit United Railway by l.. n. Keat.
ing, a prominent attorney of Muskegon
and vice president of the Muskegon,
Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad To
extend their line from Flint to MusIe-
gon. The feasibility OF such a project
was freely discussed by the officials and
considered very favorably.
Mr.. Keating suggested that the Am
erican Light and Traction company,
of which the Muskegon Traction and
Lighting company is subsidiary or
ganization, should cooperate with the
ID. u. r. in building such an inter
urban.
Quite number of years ago the De
troit Street Railway company inaugur-
ated the plan of extending interurban
roads out into the country to adjoining
towns under the name of the Detroit
United Railroad company. They now
control the following roads: Ann Ar
Detroit, Monroe and Toledo; MI. lem
ems Shore Line; y NorthVile and Orchard
Lake; Plymouth and Wayne; Detroit,
Rochester and Romeo; Trenton and
Wyandotte and Mt. Clemens and Port
Huron.
The proposition by Mr.. Keating and
the Junction of the c. X q ,..nu f-cre
Marquette railroads in Muskegon town
ship to Sparta, Rockford and Grattan
in Kent county, then to Belding and
on past Long Lake to Palo and through
Maple Rapids. At Flint it would con-
meet with the interurban now running
into Detroit.
Such line would open up an inn
mense field for traffic in both passen-
ger and freight through section of the
country without railroad facilities.
1t is pointed out by Mr.. Heating that,
in view of the connection with the ID.
L. II. at Flint, IA line of this kind would
afford transportation across the state,
where connections could be made AT
the Muskegon dock with boat lines 10
Chicago and Milwaukee, and connec-
tons could also be made from the Pere
Marquette road TO all points in the
western part of the state.

took place in the basement and when
time was called there was a wild scram-
BILE 10 get seats and standing room on
the top OF chairs, tables and boxes for
,, fear the dog and badger might snap
their sbins in the fray. Excitement
ran high for a moment; il was with
difficulty that the second could hold
the dog. The badger was restless in
the barrel eager for the battle. An ar
tlst with camera might have caught
Richardson high up on table with
lower limbs encased in gunny sack,
the Beldings sitting on the backs of
chairs with billiard cues for weapons
of defense, Gen. Young directing the
battle from a dry goods box and all the
Others with positions well fortified.
Hubbell held the dog, Washburn and
Collingwood pulled the chain and soon
the badger was in the arena. There
was only one bout. The badger caught
the dog square in the nose and put him
out in the first round, causing him TO
back into his corner shifting and howl
ing. Time keepers, Welch, Leonard
and Crooks, made the count and Ref
erees Hall and Richardson gave the
decision in favor of the badger. There
was considerable betting on the result,
very little money, however, changing
hands, the largest stake being thirty
cents won by Coyle from Hetherington
with Soria AS stakeholder.
AT the banquet which followed an
pleasant time was enjoyed
with much speech making by the Wis
itors and local guests.
