PLENTY OF EGGS
ONE LONE CHICK
Rural Mail Carriers Are Remembered
by Patrons and the Stork Visits
One.

The mail carriers we're we'll remem-
bered by their patrons this year in the
way of Easter eggs and some of them
had dozens and dozens of eggs-the
gifts OF people along their routes who
showed their appreciation of the efforts
OF these men who braved the elements
in all its fierceness TO deliver the mail
to them and in many cases it ment great
discomfort and suffering to both
men and horses. The eggs were all
right, they were fresh and white and
enough Of them, but they were only
eggs after all.
Leon Douglas, of r. r. 6, was the
man who had the best of them all. His
Easter present was a little chick that
came a little late-Tuesdav morning,
nevertheless he can crow over his
fellows. This little lady is not OF
bantam size for she weighed 81 pounds.
Her name is Genevieve May.

est that the Keokuk Canning Co, es-
tabhshed in 1880 at Keokuk, Iowa, has
acquired considerable interest in the
purchase at Paw Paw, Lawton and Mat
tawan of the plants of the Robinson Ci-
der and Pickle Company and they will
be successors to the Robinson company
The Keokuk company has had large
interests in Michigan since 1901, when

Bollinger, the president Of the company,
is also president of the National Pickle
Packers association The company has
a fine reputation both on its vinegar and
canned goods.

sentatives Of the company have been ia
voraby impressed with the possibilities
of fruit canning at Paw Paw and 1t is
probable that the company will give
careful consideration to this important

pany of business men and their coming

NOTED FORGERY
BROUGHT To MIND
Death of Nj. ID. MatteSOn in
Chicago Recalls Famous
Criminal Trial.

In the last issue of The True North
erner appeared rumor of the death Of
"Hart Madison" at the city of Chicago.
The correct name of the deceased party
was Milo DeHart Matteson. He was
not only we'll known in Paw Paw, but
elsewhere throughout the county and
state. Ii was he that was defendant 10
the most famous criminal trial that ever
occurred in Van Buren, county, the
Morris Matteson forgery case. Matteson
was a money loaner in Decatur during
the 70's, and figured 10 % cases in the
circuit court of the county between 1871
and 1889. Three of those cases were
criminal cases 10 which Matteson was
charged with forgery OF certain notes
and mortgages against the MorrIses
The celebrated criminal lawyer, John
Van Arman, was employed by the
county to assist the prosecutor, the late
Judge ID. E. Comstock, in the trial of
the cause, which lasted for four weeks
and resulted in a verdict of guilty. The
matter OF al appeal to the supreme
court was pending, but before it was
Charles K. Brown, Unexpectedly resign
ed his Office, which action on his part
prevented such appeal being perfected
and paved the way for a new trial Of
the cause. Feeling ran high against
Matteson and the case was transferred
to st. Joseph county. The second trial
which was conducted OF the part of the
people by Hon. b. +. Heckert and John
Van Arman, resulted in an acquittal,
a proceeding that was regarded in Van
Buren, county, to put it in the most
favorable light, as a Scotch verdict. 1t
was not long after this that Henry
Morris and his wife were foully murder
ed. The murderer was never appre-
hended although the county offered a
large reward for his capture. James
Matteson, brother of Milo D., dis.
appeared Immediately after and has not
been seen nor his whereabouts been
known, by Van Buren, county people
since that time. There were strong
suspicious that there was some connec-
tion between the Matteson- Morris affairs
and the assassination of Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris. 1t was known, however, that
Milo DeHart Matteson was not at the
scene OF the murder, as he was at the
village OF Decatur when the crime was
committed. Had Jim Matteson been
arrested, and be would have been if he
could have been found, he might not so
easily have proven an alibi.

ENJOYABLE SOCIAL EVENT.

The ladies OF the Gliddenburg Aid
Society met at the hospitable home of
Mrs. Charles Lake on Wednesday, April
3. Quilting was the order OF the day.
A splendid pot-luck dinner was served
to about 40, the tables literally groaning
under their weight of toothsome viands,
which the Gliddenburg ladies know so
well how to prepare. Music and lively
conversation helped the time 20 pass all
too quickly and thehappy faces, as the
good-byes were said, was proof that all
went to their homes much benefited for
having met together once more.

Northerner this week, contain the an.
nouncement oft hree auction sales in this
vicinity 10 the near future. The parties
conducting these sales have shown their
good judgment in the matter of adver-

Newspaper advertising has long been
considered by those who have protited

other means that may be employed
More people are reached through the
medium of the newspapers than can
possibly be by any other method of

hold Effects VIII en- House is
Threatened by Fire.

At about ten o'clock, Wednesday
morning, the fire alarm sounded and
excitement ran high. People came
from every quarter and followed the
lead of the fire company which pro-
ceeded east 90 Main street. The fire
was located at the residence of John
Engle but in a very few minutes all
danger was past, OF very great damage
being done to the building.
The shingles on the roof of the back
part of the house caught fire from
sparks from the furnace chimney, paper
having been burned to clean the chin

the bulk OF the furniture from the house
but there was no damage to the furni,

BAND CONCERT
BIG SUCCESS
BOYS Given Fine Send-Off
by Large Audience
Thursday Night.

The entertainment given by the Paw
Paw high school band last Thursday
night was a hummer. The boys we're in
the best OF spirits and never played
better than on this occasion. 1t seemed
to be ordered that on the eve of their
departure on their tour OF the state that
they should give their home town a
fair sample of what they could do in the
way of "chasing dull care away" and
manner and were the recipients of
various compliments. Their tones, their
tunes, their uniforms-the boys them
selves just suited the people, who were
there for the express purpose of enjoy
ing what was coming, and to give the
band the hand of fellowship and send
them away with the best wishes Of the
town as whole.
The program was a good one-em-
bracing not only the selections by the
band but the enjoyable numbers furnish
ed by Miss Russ and Blaine Warner in
vocal solos and Miss Frieda Snow ir
piano solos Miss Frieda is Paw Paw
favorite and never fails to reach her
standard of excellence.
Miss Margaret Cole, who is also one
Of Paw Paws daughters. is much ap-
preciated here. She is a young reader
who wins many friends upon every oc-
casion where she appears.
Little 10 year old Bruno Chillinski of
Chicago, who has been the guest of
friends here, contributed violin solos
which were very we'll done aud would
do credit to one much older 10 years.
He is also accompanying the band on
their tour this week.
Supt. Mccormick under whose train
ing these young people have been for
some time past, is thorough master OF
the art of developing the talents that
cone within his range, and by this
happy faculty and the fact that he has
good material to work with, he is
moulding for the future lasting men,
orial for himself in the little village OF
Paw Paw.
The receipts of the entertainment
reached the 500 mark.

GOVERNOR OSBORN

Governor Osborn on Monday gave
out formal announcement that he
would not be a candidate for renomi.
nation as the states chief executive,

more than ne had hoped to and that he
had considered it was now time to efface

ment to the party" He lauds the legis-
lators, with the exception of the thir-
teen members of the senate who stood
out against immediate effect for pres
idential primary. These be calls "a few
recreant republicans supported by mis-
chievous renegade democrats
In his statement the governor ex-
plains that be is now in exactly the
same frame of mind that he was when.
on December 6, 1910, he announced
that be would not be candidate for
second term; that he knew at that time
practically what his program Of endeav-
or would be and that be has already
succeeded in doing more than he ever
hoped to accomplish.

efficiency, he takes unto himself the
credit of many of the important meas
ures passed, among them the submis-
sion of woman suffrage; the opposition
to brewery owned saloons; effort for
state wide primaries; referendum and
recall, etc.
In reviewing his administration, he
finds good cause for qualification. mas
much as he has accomplished much,
"has fought hard aud uncompromisingly
for the welfare of Michigan, has been
open, above board, direct, honest and
independent, thinking not of party, of
self, or of friends, but always of the
state"
