Surprised Their Friends

Among those who took the train for
the north last Sunday morning was
Guy Beebe and Miss Ethel Run
nells, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nick
Runnells of this city. The tickets call
ed for two round trip rates from this
city to st. Louis, but on Monday after
noon at two o'clock a minister at ST.
Louis spoke the words that made the
two one, and neither of the return trip
tickets would bring them back again.
The ceremony took place at the home
of II. w. Beebe of st. Louis and the
happy couple returned to Belding
Tuesday.
The wedding took the form of an
elopement but when the contracting
parties reached home the young lady
received the parental forgiveness and
everything is honey once again. Mr..
and Mrs. Beebe expect to make their
home in st. Louis in the near future.

w. C. Il. II. Notes

There is differences most decided
difference. The newspapers of Calhoun
and Jackson county are just now pro-
viding information and evidence as TO
the value of local option as compared
with the open saloon system that
should make il necessary TO do more
than call attention to the conditions
they report in order 10 make it quite
plain TO voters of other counties what
they should do. The police wagon in
Battle Creek was recently called out
30 times between seven O'clock and
midnight. More drunks were handled
on that single night by the police de-
partment than through some entire
months while local option prevailed in
the county Of which Battle Creek is q
part. In Albion 40 cases of drunken
ness were taken before two justices of
that city within five days after the
opening of the saloons. During three
hundred days under local option there
had been but IL arrests on account or
drunkenness. Forty in five days un-
der the saloon system, eleven in three
hundred days under the local option.
1t isn't necessary TO add anything TO
these facts in order TO make them elo-
quently persuasive.

WANTS A SALARY
Sheriff Taylor Fav ors 1t Rather Than
Present Fee Bills


Sheriff Taylor, of Ionia, was in Port
land last Tuesday and called at the
Observer office. Mr.. Taylor and his
deputies, VanGeison and Lowery, re-
Gently brought action against the coun-
ty board of supervisors through their
attorney, George +. Nichols, for the
sum of 1850. which was the total
amount cut from their bills for five
months services. Mr.. Taylor and his
deputies advanced the money in ques-
ton from their own pockets in the in
terests of the sheriff's office, and the
board S action in the matter is unjust.
For many years back the county
board has had the impression that all
creditors of the county tackled on an
unjust sum for their services, and they
have slashed the bills for the purpose
of getting even. The county never
had sheriff whose bills were unques-
toned, and the practice has become
thoroughly disgusting. Deputy Sand
born, of Portland, has twice been COM
PEELED to sue the board for pay which
was due him, and several Belding doc
tors have cases pending against the
county solons at the present time for
sums which have been deducted from
their bills.
Sheriff Taylor says he is not looking
for any trouble from the county but he
does not propose TO have his honest
bills cut by that body when he has
paid the money from his own pocket.
He will petition the board, during its
September session, to place the sheriff
and his deputies on a straight salary,
believing this will eliminate the differ
ence which arise from time TO time
between the county and its creditors.
He has interviewed several of the diff
ferent supervisors OH the question, and
all seem to be favorable toward the
idea. 1t seems poor economy for the
board to cut the bills and than be COM
PEELED to defend their action in the
courts, but this has been practiced for
years, and Sheriff Taylor says he be-
lieves the arrangement which he has in
mind will eliminate the difficulty.

TAX DODGER
Prominent Dandy Farmer and Money
Loaner Arrested

Samuel Davids, q prominent Dandy
township farmer, is to be examined in
Justice Selleck's court on Tuesday,
August /, on the charge Of having will
fully refused to make correct sworn
statement to the supervisor OF Dandy as
to his property holdings. The warrant
under which arrest was made was
sworn out by Super ervisor Guilford and
served by Deputy Sheriff Sanborne
Mr.. Davids appeared in court last
Tuesday to answer to the summons,
and was questioned closely by Prose-
cutting Attorney Locke, who has been
investigating the case.
Mr.. Davids, it appears, loans con-
siderable money, and when he gave in
his list of mortgages to the supervisor il
appears he omitted some. Later the
board of review met and Mr.. Davids
raised his personal list about $1,000
when the board inquired about some
papers with which they were familiar
and which had not been included in the
sworn list in the hands OF the supervisor.
Now, il is alleged, still more personal
has been found and the supervisor de-
cided TO bring the ease into court. This
is The first time the law relating to false
returns of property has been tried out
in this county it is believed.
The alleged offsnse is one which
makes it case for the circuit court.
The defendant is entitled to prelimi-
nary examination in justice court and
asked for same, Justice Selleck fixing
August as the date.
Conviction on a charge of this sort
carries with ii fine OF not more than
81 900 or term in the county Jail, not
to exceed six months.

AMENDMENTS REJECTED
Under Warm Debate For 29 Days At
Special Session Called By
President Taft

The Canadian reciprocity agreement
was passed in the Senate after twenty
nine days of debate, Saturday, July %.
Some of these sessions were wasted
with other matters, but during that
period the agreement remained the un-
finished business and had preference
over all other matters.
More than sixty amendments were
offered TO the reciprocity agreement
All of these were rejected by votes
approximating 5 to l. The one causing
the most apprehension was proposed
by Senator Root of New York. 1t pro-
vided that paper and pulp should not
be admitted from Canada until the
Dominion permitted shipments of
American materials and paper into all
its provinces
Almost every conceivable kind of
tariff revision amendment was suggest.
ed and rejected.
The passage of the agreement was
effected by "A combination of Democrats
and regular Republicans. The progress
sive, with twoeXceptions, voted against
it. Three Democrats, Bailey, Simmons
and Thornton, steadfastly opposed it,
twenty-four Republicans also voting
against it.
An understanding existed in advance
between the-PTssidsat~and leaders of
the regular Republicans ana Democrats
that the reciprocity agreement should be
passed without change. This proved a
continual source of irritation to it's
opponents.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
is expected to materially reduce the
cost of living, although this may not be
appreciable at the outset. Its purpose
is to bring the necessaries of life in
greater quantities. The belief is that it
will prevent higher prices and check
the continual advance in foodstuff.
The agreement affects 81 per cent. of
the goods imported from Canada into
the United States.
The free list contains wheat and other
grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, all
kinds of fish, poultry and eggs, cattle,

East Congress Street, scaffold which
had been erected for the purpose of re-
shingling the house suddenly gave way
with three men on it and dropped the
three to the ground distance of about
fourteen feet. Those who were dropped
to the earth by the collapse were o. J.
Burris, Bert Corey and Willard Peck
The first two received only slight
bruises but Mr.. Peck was picked up
and carried into the honse in an un-
conscious condition and sometime
elapsed before he was brought to con-
sciousness. DR.. Pinkham was called
and took the injured man home in his
auto where he was made as comfort
able as possible although suffering
severely from the injuries received.
A. NJ. Glass was on the roof when
the collapse occurred and was just on

trough and scrambled back on to the
roof or he would doubtless have been
pretty badly bruised himself.
