AT OTHER SCHOOLS
Belding Teachers Took in Grand
Rapids and Lansing for Inspira-
ton.

The city schools were closed Friday
and Saturday OF last week TO give the
teachers an opportunity of visiting
the schools in other cities and TO get
inspiration and pointers If possible for
use in the school work here.
1t is understood the teachers were
given their choice of taking advantage
of this scheme in lieu of going TO the
Bay City State Teachers Association
later. Some of the good looking bunch
went TO Lansing, but the majority
took in Grand Rapids.
The teachers of the different grades
were naturally interested in the kind
of work they have in hand and Wis
tied the departments suited TO their
duties. 1t was profitable and en-
joyable occasion, although the weather
was somewhat disagreeable outside
the school ro oms.
They were given cordial welcome
by their sister teachers. The Grand
Rapids Herald had this to say of those
who took in Grand Rapids: "The city
was invaded yesterday by the entire
force of Belding schoolma Jams, who
made day of it inspecting the local
schools and watching the working of
the district nurses in connection with
the schools. Mrs. Hopwood, principal
of The Second ward school at Beding,
accompanied by Miss Sprague, WIS.,
tied the District Nursing Association
and imbibed what knowledge they
could i'm the limited time of the plan
of operation, and also visited the Foun-
tain street school during the time that
Mrs. Beryl McMeekin of the Associa-
ton was on duty at the school. Beld-
ing people are interested in the plan
of placing n district nurse in the city
schools. "

mark for rebel bullets but although Inc

Geo. w. Brown was probably the
smallest and youngest man TO enlist in
the civil war, he was just 10 years,
months and days old when he enlisted
in Ionia and went to the front with the
rest of the boys, being at Grenville,
Tenn, and Mooretown in cavalry
scraps with Morgan the raider and he
saw that famous guerilla fifteen
minutes after he was shot. Brown
was good fighter although he was
diminutive and lodged many bullets
and sabre strokes, finally in a cavalry
charge near Richmond where they
were cutting off supplies and burning
bridges, he was thrown from his horse
and disabled. AT one time the rebs
got them on the run and they sl<edaddl-
ed six miles in order TO avoid capture.
After Brown came home, he went TO
California for four years and later re-
turned and went into business at Shiloh
where he kept store for more then
twenty years before moving TO this city.

CHARGED WITH MAIL FRAUD.
Three Men Accused of Selling Bogus Gold
Stock to Mill Workers.

Manchester, N H. Oct 2s.-Following
an investigation lasting several days,
United States post Office inspectors yes
terday arrested John A. Delsle OF
Houghton, Me-, Theotine Boudreau Of
l03 Putnam street and Leo Richards, a
newspaper man, Of ASS Lowell street,
on a charge of using the mails ia a
scheme to defraud Inspectors Harry
w. Robinson and John s Spofford Of
the Boston Office have been working on
the case.
The alleged Illegal use Of the mails
with which the men are charged, was in
connection with the sale of shares or
stocks in the oxford Mining company,
with alleged holdings at Houghton, Ok
ford county, Me.
The land was supposed to be the site
OF gold mine, and, according TO the
federal inspectors, the men under arrest
reaped thousands of dollars selling shares.
The inspectors say that the accused
men worked chiefly among laboring peo-
pie, and that hundreds of the stockhold-
ers in the company are operatives in the
Manchester and other New Hampshire
industrial mills.
Delisle was president of the company,
Boudreau its treasurer, and Richards
acted as Delsle's secretary until a short
time ago. The men were arraigned be-
fore Commissioner Crawford and, in de-
fault of $1,000 bail each, were committed
to Jail. 1t is said the concern has been
operating five years.
