Candidate For Governor.

Grand Rapids, April 0 In formal
statement this afternoon after Gov.
Osborn's announcement, Amos Mus
selman says:
II am a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor. l should
have been in the field some weeks ago
had l not adhered to my original posi-
tion that Gov. Osborn was entitled to
another term if he desired it. My
friends have insisted that l declare my
self, but common courtesy dictated that
the governor be given his own time and
permitted to see whether the actien Of
the legislature did not warrant his
changing his mind on his tentative
withdrawal.
Naturally, l believe my showing in
the gubernstorial primaries not only
justified my candidacy again, but en-
titled me to consideration. 1 shall
make my run on the same progressive
platform as two years ego. I shall
stand for business administration.
II should like to try my hand at the
head Of the business of the state and
see whether sound business principles
applied at the helm of the ship of state
would not yield just as satisfactory re-
suits rs in the handling of strictly COM
mercial institutions.
II hsye been urged to run for the
United States senate. My reason for
refusing is the same as my justification
as candidate for governor. If I have
any ability at all it is on executive
rather than legislative lines"

Gale-koeler.

The following is clipped from The
Grand Rapids Herald:
One of the prettiest Of the sprins
weddings took place Wednesday moon
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. l. II. Keeler, when their
daughter Bernice, was united in mar
riage to Robert l. Gale, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Gale of Owosso.
The ceremony vas performed by
Rev. Alfred w. Wishart, pastor OF
Fountain Street Baptist church, III
the presence of the immediate reIa-
tives and a few intimate friends.
The bride was exquisitely gowned
in white satin, and wore a wedding
veil. Her boquet was of lilies of the
valley and sweet peas. Miss Roxan
Loud of Detroit was maid of honor
and she wore pink satin yelled In
chiffon. She carried Easter lilies.
Arthur Thurneau of Chicago acted as
best man. The ushers were George
Keeler and Isaac Keeler, cousins oi
the bride. T. w. Walker of Flint,
brother-in-law of the groom, was
master of ceremonies. The bricl
party entered to the strains of TO
hengrins bridal chorus, played by
Miss Clara Coleman, violin, and Miss
Lucille Wilmarth, harp. The floral
decorations were typical of the sea-
son, spring flowers being used in car
rying out the color scheme of pink,
white and green. In the drawing
room where the ceremony was per-
formed the flowers were pink tulips
and Easter lilies, most attractively
arranged. The altar was banked ov-
er with asparagus vine, and on either
side of it were white pedestals on
which stood Easter lilies, making q
charming picture. Maidenhair ferns
and pink tulips were arranged on the
mantel, while about the room were
clusters of spring flowers. The brid-
al table in the sun parlor was decor
ated with pink roses, swansonia and
lilies of the valley, against back
ground of southern smilax In which
the room was decorated. Spring
flowers decorated the tables of the
guests, while southern smilax an6
Easter lilies frightened the hall.
Both bride and groom are promi-
nent in the younger social set of the
city. Immediately after the weddins
they left for Virginia on a wedding
trip.
The many Owosso friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Gale, both of whom are for
mer residents of this city, extend
heartiest congratulations.

Arbor Day Proclamation.

Lansing, April Ex-Governor Chase
8. Osborn has set apart May as the
date for the setting of trees, planting
of vines, and those many little acts in
sympathy with nature which charac.
terjze Arbor Day. His proclamation
follows:
"By legislative enactment the gov
euor is authorized to set apart one day
in each year to be known and observed
as Arbor and Bird day.
"The following essay is by Hon. J..
Whitney Watkins, state senator from
the tenth district, author of the law:
The Importance Of Arbor and Bird
day is most potent factor in the en-
largement and conservation of our
natural resources and in the higher
plane of culture and refinement which
always. accompany an awakened public
interest in Nature, cannot be over
estimated. 1t is surely mark Of finer
intelligence which turns the mind of
man away from our artificial hum.
drum mode of life to the Creator g
res,ful Offering of trees and birds and
flowers in the open forum of Natures
haunts.
1t is gratifying to note the increasing
interest and enthusiasm with which the
people of our state celebrate Arbor and
Bird day, making it an event of endur-
ing value and Importance in our COM
monwealth. Splendid has been the
work of superintendents and teachers
in our schools, of the women's clubs, of
our farmers and city organizations, ia
encouraging the planting of trees and
the protection of the wild birds that
find home and shelter among their
branches. The public spirited work of
these men and women will exert last
ing influence upon the rising genera
tion and will insure among the masses
q higher standard of public conscience
and personal integrity and honor than
ever before.
1T is recommended that groves and
orchards be planted near the public
highways and that lawns be adorned
with trees and shrubs; that birds be
encouraged and protected by setting
up boxes and sections of hollow trees in
advantageous places for their nests.
Every effort should be made to stop the
ruthless destruction by the gun and AK
in the hands Of the thoughtless.
Therefore l, Chase 8. Osborn, gov
ernor of the commonwealth of Michi-
gan, do hereby Issue this, my proclama-
ton, designating May 3, 1903, as Arbor
and Bird day throughout the common
wealth, and earnestly urge its obser-

met Wednesday in this city and ,af-
ter substantial dinner served by
the Baptist ladies, finished it's work
in connection with the recent cam
paign.

their reports which were adopted.
A small deficit was quickly provided
for and the campaign closes with all
debts paid. -t
Former Sheriff Frank Convis of
Ithaca, who with Mrs. Convis, was in
the city on business, attended the
meeting and being called upon gave
a strong helpful talk upon the en-
forcement of the law. Mr.. Convis
was sheriff of Gratiot county under
local option and made good. Help
your officers, stand back of them, and
when they do well, tell them of it
and encourage them in the good work
This was the advice he gave to his
hearers.
In Gratiot county social clubs are
under the ban of the local option law
and none exists.
eff your officers are right and you
stand back of them, you will have
dry county," declared Mr.. Convis.

of this contingency temporary sec

dress which was frequently punctu-
