STRIKE CAUSES DELAY.
Fixtures for New Lauer Store Are
Tied Up In Grand Rapids
By Big Strike.

Nose Lauer has been delayed in
the preparation of his fine new
store room by the big strike among
the teamsters of Grand Rapids, Mich
Nearly a year ago he ordered some
fine wood fixtures for his new store
room to be sure to have them on
time, specially providing that they
should be shipped on his order. A
short time ago he wrote the company
to ship them, and they replied say
ing that they could not get team in
the city to put them on the cars 70,
shipment, and could make no prom.
ises when they could ship.
The company stated that they paid
the very highest wages in Grand
Rapids and there was no dissatis-
faction on the part Of their men, but
that through sympathy with the
others they had been drawn into
the strike. 1t was thought it would
not be long before shipment could be
made.

A Scout must be helpful for
which he shall receive no pay; that
is, he shall endeavor to do some kind
act each day for some one, especial
ly to women, children, or an invalid;
A Scout is friend to all. he is
never a snob;
A Scout is always courteous;
A Scout is always a friend to an
imals, and should always strive to
lelieve suffering, and should not kill
an animal unnecessarily;
A Scout will obey his parents and
those In authority;
A Scout whistles and smiles under
any circumstances. When an order
is given it should be obeyed at once,
and willingly, not with hang-dog
expression. The punishment for
swearing or the use Of bad language
is to have a cup of cold water pour
ed down the sleeve by the other
scouts.
A Scout is always thrifty. He
saves his money for "rainy day."
The form Of organization is simi-
lar to that of an army. The patrol
is composed of six or eight boys.
Each patrol has a patrol leader and
corporal.

Another Location Church
Is Threatened.

April 27-Donaldson was scene of
much excitement yesterday afternoon
at about three-thirty, when the black
smith shop occupied by c. 7. Daniel
son caught fire, and burned to the
ground. For awhilt it looked as
though considerable damage would
be done, for the United Brethren
church, which stands near the black
smith building, caught from the
burning shop, but the hastily formed
bucket brigade soon had the flames
there extinguished. The Schlosser
Brothers creamery had few shingles
burned off the roof, but the fire
here gained no headway.
The blacksmith building was own
ed by Chas. johnson Of Donaldson,
who had no insurance. The loss is
estimated at about 5000. Mr..
Danielson will open up his business
in the building formerly occupied by
Miller, just across the railroad

BORN ON TABER FARM
Was One Of the First White Chill.
dren Born In Marshall County
Lived Here All Her Life-Was
Sufferer for Many Years.

Mrs. Mary A. Shirley died at a
little befor 8 o. clock Thursday morn
ing at the home of her nephew,
Herman Tabor, on west Laporte
street.
She had been sick only since last
Thursday. and the immediate cause
of death was thought to be heart
trouble, although she had been suf-
fering from both rheumatism and
consumption.
Mrs. Shirley would have been rs
years old next July. She was born
on the old Taber farm south of this
city and spent most all her life
there. Her father, Samuel d. Tab
er, came to this county among the
very first settlers-back in 1882 or
1888, and her brother, Cyrus Taber,
was the first white child born in this
county. Mrs, Shirley was herself
cne of the first white children born
here.
Mr.. Shirley died over forty years
ago. For the past twenty-five
years Mrs. Shirley had not been able
to walk without the aid of a cane Or
crutch, and for the past fifteen years
she has not walked at all. Her hear
ing had also been poor and she was
great sufferer in many ways. All
her troubles we're borne with bravery
and patience. She was a faitlfrd
member of the Church of God for
many years.

Goldenbers Co. BurSalized

That there is a band of petty
burglars or some cheap sneak of a
burglar hanging around the vagran-
cy districts of the city is evidenced
by the repeated depredationS in the
Philips block.
In the rear of the block and open
ing into the Goldenberg stores is a
weak grating through which this
same burglar or burglars have ope-
rated three or four times.
Last night the thieves bent the
rods at the top of the grating and
removing a pane of glass entered
the store pilfered around promis.
cously carrying off sundry arms full
of assorted dry goods.
The windows in the rear of the
store are hidden from view and it
was only possible to discover the
burglars through the front of the
building. Two or three electric
lamps were burning and it is quite
probable that there are more than
one of the thieves, one on the out
side to keep tab on the policeman
on the beat, while the other or
others operated in the store.
The thieves may be Overtaken
and convicted, in which case they
will prove quite useful as road
builders, and in that way pay to
the county fair price for the goods
they have taken from the store
through that window in the past
several years.

He Believed In Advertising

Atlanta, May, "A well known
Atlanta insurance man of many
years solid personal and financial
standing in the community walked
into a local advertising agency this
morning and asked to see the man.
lager
He explained to him that he had
| just capitalized company at ST.
100000. and bought the Gambler
building, for the purpose of con-
verting it into a garage for flying
machines.
He wanted to sign a contract
with the advertising man for $780,
900. worth of advertising matter to
appear in the northern magazines,
announcing to spring tourists that
after May 30th all who flew south
would find strictly modern and up-to
date accommodation here. He fur
Their wanted announcements pub
lished in the local papers that all
the Gambler building would have to
move out.
The advertising manager was
dazed. He had known the speaker
all his life, and knew him to be not
only man of fine business parts
but one who never joked.
Luckily he called up the Gambler
office headquarters. No there hadn't
been any sale, nor was any contem-
plated. The man at the Gambler
end of the telephone wanted to
know if the advertising manager
was crazy?
Crazy? That gave the advertis-
ing manager an idea. He telephoned
for a cab and a doctor and for the
insurance mans family. They came,
and now the insurance man is
strapped to a cot in a local inrfim-
airy.
1t was a nervous breakdown, with
mental disorders, which had made
him act queerIy for two or three
weeks past, but which his family
and friends had not understood as
actual insanity until he announced
his intention of converting the big
gest building south of New York
into hen-roost for aeroplanes.
Overwork is at the bottom Of the
trouble, and it is believed the pa
tent can be cured.
