Lost His Home

Bert Luck, son of Editor Luck of
the Belding News is certainly up
against hard luck, if any one is. He
recently returned from California,
where he went several years ago TO
try and build a fortune i'm the golden
gates, but failed, and had gotten to-
gether quite quantity Of house hold
good, and had rented the fine home be-
longing TO A. w. Smith on Ellis ave
nue., and started keeping house.
About two o'clock Sunday morning
his place was discovered to be on fire
and by the timS the fire department
could respond TO the call ii was beyond
all hopes of saving. Everything thai
Mr.. Luck and his family had was de.
stroyed excepting the clothing they
had with them as they were all away
at the time. There was no fire in the
house except hard coal stove and
what caused the blaze will always re-
main amystery. Fortunately Mr.. Lu-
ick had placed some insurance on his
goods, so that the loss is not a complete
one.

Last Monday evening a party OF six

out an old time surprise, and it was all
that the doctor ordered. Elwood was

him, and of course Elwood made tracks
for home, he was completely knocked

Relating TO Smallpox

The smallpox scare throughout the
State is subsiding, and in fact the ply
scians and boards of health in differ
ent localities where il was prevalent,
have IL SO we'll i'm hand that il is con-
sidered there is not much danger now
of general epidemic. The system of
vaccination is having much to do with
this result and although there is con-
siderable opposition in some quarters to
its merits rs preventative and tracts
and pamphlets showing the fallacy
have been circulated, science and the
best medical authority agree that it is
a remedy. On the quarantine of vac
cination, the Michigan Bulletin of vi
tai Statistic says:
Medical men ought TO set an exam
pie to the people, at least in respect to
vaccination. Ina recent Bulletin record
was made of the regretable taking of
smallpox 10y a health officer who, trust
ing perhaps too implicitly on an early
vaccination, took the disease from eX-
posure in the line OF duty. Since then
another physician, attending a man
severely ill with it up to the time of its
nature being determined, refused the
advice of the health officer to be vac
cinated, and as result was put under
quarantine. Not long ago another
physician, who was likewise member
of the board of school trustees, did still
worse in refusing TO allowing his own
children to be vaccinated, smallpox be-
ing prevalent, and the disease resulted
in his family. Medical men are sup
posed TO know better, and their indif-
ference or opposition has doubly i'll eff
feet, except in such instances as these
where proof is made of their unwisdom.
No one can be justified in contracting a
needless disease, and in the case of an
informed person, such rs practicing
physician is supposed to be, to do so il
TO be utterly condemned.

Was a Success

The recent Christmas sale held by
st. Mary's Guild at Holy Trinity
church house was grand success from
all points of view. The president, Mrs.
Fred A. Bush, deserves much credit for
the successful manner in which the af-
fair was carried out. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
and all parts of the country were drawn
upon for the beautiful articles offered
for sale to the goodly number of ladies
in attendance. AS usual, there were
quite number of things left at the
close of the sale and they will be offered
for sale at Lamb Bros grocery on Sat

Every line i'm a newspaper costs the
proprietor something. III il is for the
benefit of the individual it should be
paid for. If the grocer were asked TO
contribute groceries to one able TO pay
for them, he would refuse. The pro-
prietor of newspaper must pay for the
free advertising if the beneficiary does
not, and yet il is one of the hardest
things to be learned by many that a
newspaper has space in its columns to
rent, and must rent TO live. To give
away rent for anything less than liv-
ing rates is as fatal to a newspaper as
for landlord TO furnish rent free.

In the Comic Opera The Cap
tain of Plymouth" Outdid
Themselves.
A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Both Musical and Dramatic Talent
Brought out to the Delight of
Large Audience

That there is talent OF high merit
in large abundance among the students
of the Belding high school was very
| forcibly brought out in the entertain
ment given at the opera house Friday
night.
The young people fairly out did
themselves and their parents, teachers
and friends were agreeably surprised
in the way they carried out their parts.
When Mrs. Williams, the music and
art teacher, first began her work in the
school she discovered there was much
musical talent among the scholars
which needed bringing out, and in order
to get them interested and enthused
decided upon the plan of working up
the opera and staging ii.
The drill which they young people
have had in its rehearsal and product
ion has been worth much TO them,
and has given them an inspiration
along musical and dramatic lines of
lasting benefit. Miss Marie Roman,
principal of mathematics, ably as
sisted Mrs. Williams in the work,
and she as katonka, the Indian prin-
cess, and Mrs. Williams as Priscilla,
the fairest maiden in Plymouth, acted
their parts, spoke their lines and sang
their songs IN way that was very
pleasing indeed.
The opera was founded on 1.-The
Courlship of Miles Standish," and
Elwood Weter i'm the leading role of
Miles Standish, and Clifford Knapp
as John Alden, played their parts
better than many professionals sur
prising the audience by their acting
and conception of the parts.
George Reed as Erasmus, Miles
fright bower" was high up in the
part, and whether tied TO stake in
the Indian camp scene with Miles or
stealing a kiss from Puritan maiden,
Margaret Fargo as Mercy, an early
American girl, he was exceedingly
clever Earl Ballou made a typical
Elder Brewster and endeavored TO
hold the colony down to "brass tacks"
all the time.
Fred Holmes and Kendall Meade as
Wattamutt and Pecksuot, chief and
messenger of the Indians, put up a
fine scene and clever bit of acting with
their warriors.
AS lads of the colony, Hubert
Holmes, Oscar Rummler and Knott
Cobb kept the audience delighted with
their pranks. Miss Margaret Fargo
did her part we'll and in her song
'There's Nothing TO do but Chat"
with the sextette of Plymouth daisies
Misses Nellie Joiner, Ola Little, Hazel
Bricker, Ora Butcher, Verle Arnwine
and Hilda Noble, in the chorus re-
sponse, made great hit with the
audience.
On account of the sickness of Miss
Beth Barnard, pianist, Mr.. w. B.
Reed, member OF the school board,
kindly consented to accompany the
songs and chorus on the piano, being
assisted by Mr.. Slater with violin and
Fred Harding, trap and drum. 1t is
needless to say that it was well done
and highly appreciated.
The soldiers drill under direction Of
Miss Adeline Welte, sixth grade teach
er is worthy of special mention as are
also the gypsy song 10y Miss Roman
and the solo by Clifford Knapp.
The total receipts were nearly $4,000
and the students will clear for the
Laboratory fund about $4,000. The
students wish to thank all who in
any way contributed to its success.

FAVOR LOCAL OPTION

County Poor Superintendents Say 1t
Is Beneficial
AT the closing session of the seventh
annual convention of the State Asso-
citation of Superintendents of the Poor,
held in Lansing last week, the report
of the legislative committee was dis
cussed and the association commended
local option as good thing for every
county. A majority of the superin-
tendents were of the opinion that there
is less vagrancy and fewer objects of
in counties where there are
no saloons than in the territory where
liquor is sold.

John j. Murphy, president of the Cen
tral Labor union, went before a police
magistrate and swore to the contents
of the warrant, upon which Pratt was
arrested and on this affidavit obtained
a release for Pratt under $1,000 bail
City hall officials, however, refused to
recognize it on the grounds that the
release was not. based on q, copy of the
charge" and there was nothing to do
but wait for Pratt's hearing today
Discussing the arrest of Pratt Mr.
Murphy today said:

Will leave our case with the people,"
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company at L. m. began the opera
tlon OF limited number of cars on the
principal lines. AS was the case yes
eentrated on the heavily travelled
streets leading to the business centers
The day opened foggy and a heavy
ram falling. and despite these condi-
lions the cars carried only small per-
centage of their usual number of pas
sengers. Every car operated carried
at least two policemen. The fact that
today is legal holiday with MANY in
dustrial and other esta blishments
closed leads the police to anticipate a
strenuous time.
Fencibles Report for Duty.
The police force has been augment
ed to approximately 5000 men. The
extra men who have been dubbed
provinces, We're recruited from the
wards of Paramount park, the several
city prisons, bridge watchmen and en-
pioyes from various city bureaus. In
ADDITION to the police the state fenci-
bles, an Independent military body
organized in the days of the American
revoIutlon, reported for duty with full
military equipment. They were sworn
in as policemen.
The authorities have been assured by
the National guard commanders that
the entire division of the state military,
numbering 10000 men. is at the service
of the city.
Brigadier General Wendell P. Bow
man, commander of the first brigade,
which comprises three regiments in
Philadelphia, is in close touch with the
city authorities. Following his confer
ence with the mayor yesterday, he call

last night and they are prepared to act
quickly.
Governor Stuart and Adjutant Cen

1t is estimated there were 800 per
sons treated in the emergency wards OF
the various hospitals yesterday. While

Colonel w. F. Sapp of GaIena. the
Newly Elected Democratic National
Committeeman.

The Democratic committee meeting
was a rather quiet affair. There were
differences of opinion, but faction did
not raise its head very high. t. F.
Morrison of Chanute, a Democratic
leader and member of the last legis-
lature, headed a movement against the
genial Col. Sapp, but Mr.. Morrison is a
candidate for attorney general and he
did not carry his war very far. Outside
of the quarrel over those holding
proxies being allowed to vote at the
committee meeting everything was fine
and lovely. The leaders declare that all
troubles have been ironed out and that
the party will put up solid and I'M
broken front in the campaign next
summer. The threatened opposition to
Senator Hodges has not materialized so
far. Mayor ALBANIAN of Atchison and
Gen. Grisham of Chase county are here
with aspirations for the gubernatorial
nomination, but these have not yet
reached the proportions of real boom.

Anniversary.

There We're several hundred young peo-
pie In attendance at meeting of the
local union held last night at the First
Baptist church. The meeting came at the
regular time but was in the nature of an
anniversary celebration.
At $50 picnic supper was enjoyed in
the basement room of the church and af-
forwards the members of the organization

an excellent program was carried out. An
octette of the Third Presbyterian church
appeared twice and varied the order Of
procedure.
The Spirit of Christian Endeavor' was
burn college. Christian Endeavor and
similar organizations which go to make
up the membership of the local union
stand for good citizenship, said Prof.
Clark, land have been the pioneers in
uniting the churches in working together
towards one end
Miss Louise Bagley spoke of the His
tory of the Topeka Local Union.'' The
first president of the organization was
Judge E. r. Simon in 1902.
1.-The Local Union and Topeka was the
subject of an address given by Rev. G.
E. Holcombe. 1T is only because young
men and women catch the glimpse of bet
ter things that we. make progress was
the. statement of the speaker. Go into
the council chamber and you will find
members of the Christian Endeavor and
Epworth League doing business for the
city. Young people have done much to
aid in giving a dry town, and have
helped materially in giving US a dry
state"

.EMP0RIA GIRL EL0PES
She Attended Normal SchooI-Leaves
With Travelling Man.

Emporia, Kan. Feb. IA certain
girl attending school here ran off Sun
day with a man about 35 years old
the girl being only Is. and having
known the man only two weeks. The
girls mother is dead and her father
is married again, which partly &C
counts for the girls unwise action,
but does not excuse her. Her sister is
frantically trying to locate the pair.
When last seen she was buying a ticket
for Kansas City and it was noticed that
the man paid for it.
She told her friend that she was go
ing to visit relatives in Topeka Her
roommate suspected something and
followed her to the depot. On seeing
her buy ticket to Kansas City she
informed the girls sister at McLouth,
Kan, who in turn notified the police
to stop them If possible. The train
was searched at Kansas City, but the
couple were missing.
1t may be the man intends to marry
the girl, but the probabilities are to
the contrary. The girl has been acting
queer for the last two weeks and has
done a great deal of lying. The names
are suppressed at the request Of the
girls roommate and sister.
