Collapse of His Administration.
New York.-Archtisho Nouel- pro
visional president of Santo Domingo,
has resigned office and left for Eu-
rope, according to a dispatch from
Santo Domingo. The collapse of the
Nouel administration, which was es.
tablished with the cooperation of the
United States after the recent revolu-
ton, is believed to be due, according
to the dispatch, to the hostility of the
revolutionary leaders who viewed with
dismay the archbishop's failure to call
for popular election in accordance
with the compact made last November
with the American commission and the
revolutionary leaders.

Tho Children Are tho Most Valuable
Asset

An interesting and entertaining ad-
dress though one that had a very
practical and valuable purpose was that
given by Charles W. Garfield of Grand
Rapids, on the subject Of "Play
Grounds and Their Value to Commun.
ity Life" before the Adult class of the
Congregational church Sunday noon.
Mr.. Garfield reviewed the recognition
of the value of the play time and play
spirit to child.life and to adult life and
urged that communities could give time
and thought to no better purpose than
to making adequate preparation for
generous exercises of the normal child's
desire today. The children of our COM
munities are the most valuable asset
we are permitted to count upon and the
ways and means through which the
children are brought to the most health
full and happy development are those
which we should seek to discover and
plan to make use of-Cadillac News

Sudden Death.

Miss Lena Mae Martin, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Martin, died
Tuesday morning of heart failure in the
Office of DR.. A Fl. Wolfe, in the Miner
building, where she had taken an
osteopsth'c treatment and was prepar-
ing to return TO her home. Miss Martin
had been in poor health for two years
having given up her millinery business
because of it. Lately she had been
receiving osteopsthic treatments and
was thought to be improving
Miss Martin was born in Owosso SO
years ago and graduated from the
schools here. After her school days
she learned the millinery trade and
associated herself with Miss Hattie
Hunt in the business here, continuing
until Ill health compelled her to retire.
She was sincere Christian, an active
member of Christ Episcopal church and
st. Agnes Guild, possessed of kindly
and cheerful disposition and had made
a wide circle of friends and ac-
quaintances who mourn sincerely her
sudden death. The entire community
sympathizes with the devoted parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Martin, the loss
to them being almost unbearable. The
funeral was held Thursday afternoon at
the home on East Exchange street,
Rev. A. J. Holland officiating. The
active pallbearers were Arthur AL.
letion, Cassius Ockerman, Albert Dens-
more, Edwin Mosher, Harry Smith and

Circuit Court. .

Corunna, June 5.-The jury in
the case of Mrs. Olive Neal, wife of
James Neal, against John Neal, his
brother, to collect on note for $500
given some time ago, returned ver-
dict in circuit court Wednesday af-
ternoon of $55S.72 for the plaintiff.
The defense contended that the
note was not genuine one, but that
it. had been forged, and it was
charged, that James Neal forged it..
However, the jury decided that the
signature on the paper was genuine.
1t is probable that the case will be
appealed.
Attorney Odell Chapman appeared
with Attorney Van Wrinkle of Howell
for the defense, and his brilliant
work astonished even ais most in
innate friends. 1t was Mr.. Chap
mans first appearance in circuit
court since being forced to retire
from practice over year ago, be-
cause of Iii health.
The jury in the case of Clarence
Gaines, the Durand Negro who was
suing the Grand Trunk for injuries
sustained while at work repairing
cars in the Durand yards a year
ago, brought in a verdict of no cause
of action. Gaines will probably ap.
peal the case.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day was never more fitting
ly observed in Owosso than this year by
the entire population. The day turned
ont a beautiful one after storm in the
morning, and at 80 the I. o. o. F.
temple was crowded with people who
listended to fine program in charge
of Rev. G. H. Hanks, Mayor BRANDED
being unable to be present. Music was
furnished by the G. A. R. drum corps,
the United Owosso band, male quar-
tet of DR.. j. 0. Parker, Leslie Parker,
Walter Maliskey and Bruce Satterlee,
solos by G. G. Duff and DR.. Parker
Mrs Agnes Wiley of Albion, gave a
short talk and W. A Seegmiller made
the principal addresses which was eu-
iogistic of the soldier and the women
of civil war days, and reused the love
and patriotic spirit of the audience.
The parade was most imposing led by
the band, followed by Co. 81 in their
olive drab uniforms, U. R. Knights of
Pythias, Eagles and drill team in uni
form, Odd Fellows. Boy Scouts and a
big army of school children, Spanish
war veterans, g. A. r. and w. r. g.
Marshall A. J. VanEpps and aides j. o.
Parker and John j. Mcdonald formed
and conducted the parade in perfect
manner and at the cemetery the exer-
cises lwere carried out without delay

Growth Of Fairgrounds.

"At the beginning of the playground
movement, the financial support came
chiefly from private sources. In recent
years both municipal and state authori-
ties have approved bond.issues or spe-
cific forms of taxation, taking over
most of the burden. Chicago has spent
about $11,000,O00 most judiciously
equipping small parks and recreation
centers with elaborate gymnasia, social
and lecture halls, as well as industrial
gardens and summer camps. New York
is credited with having spent SIS. 900, 900
within ten years upon small parks and
play ground sites, not all, perhaps, as
effectively.
THE annual budget of Boston for all
forms Of public recreation is said now
to exceed $1,000, 900; Philadelphia and
st. Louis. including their expenditures
for parks, swimming pools, and public
music, are virtually as generous.
Among the cities that have authorized
bond issues of $1,0OO,OOO or more for
recreation purposes are Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Atlanta, Seattle and Portland,
Oregon Even cities of the size Of
Grand Rapids, Michigan, are expend.
ing two to three hundred thousand dol.
lars annually for this purpose.
"A conservative estimate of the local
expenditures throughout the country
for play grounds and official recreation
since 1907 is said to be 800, 600, 900.
Those who remember that In the early
stage of the movement Tag Days seem
I'd essential to raise few thousand dol
lars for play grounds can well judge
how great conflagration little fire
has kindled."-W. II. Beckford.
