To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
OF the City OF Owosso,
Gentlemen:
l respectfully submit for your consideration
the condition OF the gutter on the north side OF
West Comstock street adjacent to South
Washington street
A greater part OF all drainage taken up by
the gutter on the west side of South Washing
ton street between Main street and West
Comstock flows into the SAID gutter on West
Comstock and on account of the low elevation
and the composition Of said gutter becomes
stagnant there, causing very offensive odors
and making said gutter practically impossible
on account OF the congestion of refuse and mud.
The condition of said gutter is q great
hinderance to the passing In and out OF my
place of business with m srchandise and I
believe Is very dangerous TO health of persons
who have to be in its vicinity, ami I submit to
your hor orable body that some means should
be devised 10 remedy the condition OF said
gutter.
Respectfully submitted,
Alden w. Soper.

PLYMOUTH, MASS, Oct. 25.-The
climax in the trial of Mrs. Jennie May
Eaton on the charge of numbering her
husband, Rear Admiral Joseph G. Ea-
ton. was reached to-day when the &C
cused woman took the stand and told
her story.
Mrs. Eaton's testimony was a com
plete denial of the States charges that
she killed her husband by putting ar
senic in his food.
The unusually big crowd of wom-
en-, augmented to-day because of the
presence of the accused woman on the
stand, fought TO get Into the court
room.
With every mark of self-control
Mrs. Eaton walked to the witness
stand when her name was called,
seated herself and carefully arranged
her dress.
In an emotionless voice she an
swered the perfunctory questions of
her lawyers, leading up TO her mar
riage with Rear Admiral Eaton. The
defendants voice took on strength
as she told of her story, and her de-
NAL of the charges against her was
made with emphasis.

The letter Is signed by President

accepted the invitation of Warden
Meyer to inspect the prison.
The letter goes into detail about
the workings of the prison, praising
especially the food making facilities,
the solitary cells, and commends the
arrangement for baths for prisoners.

bread in the bake shop" the letter
says, land it was as fine as we ever

more sanitary kitchen and storerooms,

TIME teacher asked us to rite
essay on What Constl-toots
Grateness, & last mite 1 asked
Pa & Ma to help me rite it.
ThaX are crowding the children
ahed too fast these days, sed Ma, the
idee of asking a child to rite a essay
with a subjeck like that.
1t may seem like vary deep sub
jock to you, sed Pa, but 1t is mere
child's play for me. l will help Bob
bic rite his essay. You go right ahed
looking at yure fashion magazine,
sed Pa. Bobbie, cum into the library
ware we will be close to the books &
l will rite .yure essay with you.
In the first place, sed Pa, wen we
got into the library, true grateness
is what the teecher ment wen she
gave you the subjeck. What Consti-
toots Grateness. OF course there are
different kinds of grateness. Mathew
son, for instans, is the gratest pitcher
that ever lived, & yet he will not
live in history as a CRATE man. Bryan
is CRATE talker, & yet he will newer
be remembered as Washington was
remembered. Dickey Doolin is a crate
prize f1ter, but that lets him out None
Of these men mite be sed to be truly
CRATE, Pa told me- Grateness Of the
reel sort as the grateness of a Shake
speer or Caesar, or, to bee moar
modern, like me, sed Pa.
The surest way to tell reel CRATE
ness or to spot CRATE man, sed Pa,
is to notice his clothes. He will new
yer look like a tramp on the bench
in the park, Pa sed, but he will
newer look like a picture of a man
like you see on cards in the tailor
shops. All of them men on the tailor
cards, sed Pa, has high, stiff collars
& thay ware leather gloves, rite in
the middle of the Summer even. q.
I always thought that was the rite
way to dress, l toald Pa.
II maybe the rite way to dress for
yung man that likes to dress, Sed Pa,
but II Amt the rite way to dress if
you are a CRATE man. Imagine George
Washington with one Of them Alpine
hats with a bow on the back of 1t, Pa
sed. Or think of Caesar leeding his
Romans aggenst the Gauls with a
high, stiff collar on Why, sed Pa, If
one of them Gauls shud hit Caesar on
the top of the he'd it wud cut his
throte. No, Bobbie, sed Pa the truly
CRATE man, of all time have been
men witch believed in having thare
clothes comfortable but not stylish
Thay believed in beeing eileen &
took a bath wenever it was handy
but moar than one CRATE man has
been known to live in a place ware
thare wasent any rooms with bath.
herd a yung man saying the other
day that he wud die if he dident have
his shower every morning, Pa sed, Il
wondered what he wud do if he had
to spend a few months out in Arizony

A other way that you can always
tell a RELY CRATE man, sed Pa, is by
his modesty. You newer heer a crate
