RESOLUTIONS
esolutions of Respect.

Resolutions of Respect.
Brother Ely Brewbaker, deceased.
The labors of our esteemed brother,
Ely Brewbaker, treasurer of this
lodge and for many years an honored
and respected member, are terminal
ed, but the inspirations of his life and
labors among us will long linger as a
pleasant memory.
None can say that Brother Brew
baker was not a devoted and faithful
member of our lodge, doing his duty
to his lodge, his brethren and to his
fellow men. In token of the high
esteem in which he is held by the
brethren of Alma Lodge, and the loss
we all have sustained by his untimely
end we hereby express to his be-
reaved family and friends our deepest
and most heartfelt sympathy, and
commend them to the tender merces
of Him who doeth all things well.
Some men are cold and relentless; !;
they pursue the tenor of life's way
with no time and less inclination, to
pause by life's footpath to cheer a
lCllOW diN an
whose sympathies run riot and whose
goodness is too often lost in nothing
ness but here was man whose mind
and brain made sweet music in life's
discord, fitting him to be a genial
companion, a sympathetic friend, a
wise and useful counsellor of men.
1t was ordered that our charter and
Great Lights be draped in mourning
for a period of thirty days, in honor
to his memory, and we recommend
that a copy of these resolutions be
published in our local papers, and a
like copy thereof be sent to his be-
reaved family. (Signed)

GEO. SHARRAR CASE
Attorneys Ask for Re.Hearing From
State Supreme Court

The case of Geo T. Sharrar VS.. the
People of the State of Michigan, in
which the decision of the Gratiot
county circuit court was sustained by
the supreme court, will form the basis
if necessary of a decision from the
United States supreme court The
attorneys in the case for Mr. Sharrar
Messrs. Stone & Watson and James
G. Kress, have made application to
the supreme court for a re-hearing.
They base this application in part on
the fact that in their former brief they
set up that the state law which the
supreme court says denies to certain
persons the right TO purchase medi-
cine even for a medicine, is viola
ton OF the right, privilege and inn
munity secured to him by the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
That the supreme court, in their
decision, failed to pass upon this fed
cral question and they now ask re-
hearing that they may secure a de-
cision from the supreme court OF the
state and unless the court holds this
law voiu they then wish TO make their
decisive ground for appeal to the
United States supreme court.
They also ask re-hearing and fur
ther elucidation of the decision of the
lower court as sustained by the SUI
preme court that the law gives the
court no option TO impose a fine with
ont Imprisonment, but must impose
both, if either.

new SHOE MACHINE

+. A. Lindner, the hustling shoe
maker, has found that his new stitch
ing and general repairing machine
which he installed in his shop several
weeks ago is proving to be much more
of a success than even his brightest
hopes had anticipated. His repairing
business has grown so much within
the last few months that it became
a question a few weeks ago of en-
ploying an extra man in the shop or
installing a machine which would
practically take the place of an extra
hand. Mr. Lindner finally decided
that the best policy was to install a
Although the initial outlay
was quite large, running up to several
hundred dollars, he figures that in the
long run he is saving a good deal of
money by this purchase. The ma
chine is for the purpose of putting
the soles and heels on shoes and is
the only machine of its kind. 1t
stitches the soles on and runs the shoe
through series of brushes which
smooth and polish up the soles and
heels The product of this contrivance
is mechanically perfect and is turned
out with marvellous rapidity. 1t is
claimed by the manufacturers that an
expert operator can get an average Of
ten pairs of shoes out of it for each
hour. At that rate Mr. Lindner ought
to be able to catch up on some of his
back work all right. He has found
that the machine exceeds his hopes
for it and is more than satisfied with
its work.
