THE FoRoYcE PROPOSAL.

Mayor MoClenden's message to the city council faYoring the acceptance of the proposal from Messrs. Fordyce and Mckee to accept payment of the $25,00O judgment against the city on a basis of settling at less than 10 percent of the judgment should re. ceiye most favorable consideration.
 The city is in a position to pay the sum. If the sum is paid $2,5O0 will be saved to the city.
 True, the treasury will be tempo. rarily depleted but the city can turn around and borrow such sums as are necessary at interest of per cent. the same as the judgment bears, and the borrowed money, if such is nee essary, will not be in any such sum as s25,0O0
 The school board did some neat financing not long since that is a splendid example of public saving. It's Insurance money was tied up in the courts. The money was not available. The board knew that the insurance money unpaid was bearing interest, because the insurance com panies would be forced to pay inter est with principal, so the board ne. gotiated a loan of money at very low rate of interest.
 The the school board sat easy as to the settlement of the insurance because it had borrowed money at low interest, and, as matter of fact, when the insurance money was available and paid was not of con. siderable moment, because it was mol needed
 The city credit is good. To pay one judgment and then borrow over again would be Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. as one almerman expressed it, but for the fact that there is a consideration in favor of the city. The sum of s2,.50O in say ing is worth while
 It is quite agreed that the city needs street improvement. It is not agreed that more money should be paid out on the fire department, for we have better fire protection now than the city ever had. 1t is not agreed that the police pay roll should be so large hereafter But even un- der all these conditions, if the city caa save $2,500 paying one judgment that saving might be made and then start over again.

Drink has impaired or cut off en-
tirely the earning power of the natural
provider; the father has lost his job
because of drink. But The fact that
the natural provider has lost his job
does not at all indicate that his chill
dren have lost their appetites. Child
laborers are working to feed hungry
stomachs, to clothe naked bodies. You
do not solve this or any other great
problem by dealing only with effects.
We must be wise enough to find causes
and to destroy the institution that is
responsible for an almost incredible
number of these child labor abuses"
The speaker dwelt at length on the re-
lation of the liquor traffic to the home,
70 motherhood, and TO the white slave
traffic. He spoke of patriotism and
said: "America needs every man at
his best today. Drink will give to the
armies of our progress trembling
limbs, blinded eyes, faltering minds
and hearts too frail to pump the
blood of mighty deeds"

MONDAY N|GHISSIORM
One of the Severest To Visit
Alma So Far This Season
BAPTIST CHURCH DAMAGE
Residence of c. F. Brown Hit And
Several Barns Destroyed in the
County

The most destructive electric storm
of the year broke over Alma Monday
evening and Tuesday morning. Ac-
companied by torrents of rain, the
lightning began to play around thru
the atmosphere about $50. About 9
o'clock a bolt struck the Baptist
church, tearing through the roof in
four places and SCATTERING a large
hole in one side of the north chin
ney. Fire Immediately broke out, but
within a short time was under the con-
troll of the firemen.
Scarcely had the fire alarm been
sounded before the whole city was
shrouded in darkness, to remain so
for half hour. Lightning had en-
tered the electric light plant by one of
the wires and put the big dynamo,
which was installed two years ago,
out of commission.
The damage by fire and water at
the Baptist church is roughly esti-
mated at $1,000, with 81 900 insur-
ance.
The home of c. F. Brown on Wood
worth avenue was also struck by light
ming which entered the house via the
chimney, scattering SCOT and ashes
throughout the various rooms.
Charley Smiths house, one mile
southeast of Alma, was struck, light
ming entering a'ibedroom where two
girls were sleeping. The girls were
slightly stunned, but the bed was rip
ped to pieces, a grip full of clothing
opened and the contents scattered,
and pair of shoss torn beyond recog-
milton.
The ice house owned by Charles
Bum near Ithaca burned to the ground
with a $1,000 loss to the well known
vegetable dealer
One of the freaks of the storm was
seen in the destruction of five of the
upper globes Of the boulevard cluster
lights on East Superior street, be-
tween Woodward and Gratiot avenues.
George Humphrey, who lives on the
Jacob Merchant farm in Sumner
township, lost his big barn which was
full of the seasons crops, bringing
his total loss up to $500 with insur-
ance Of 81 900 on the contents, and
$500 on the barn.
Fire broke out between l and 2
o'clock and only the horses were saved,
while all of the hay, oats and other
grains were destroyed.
One large barn, a granary, two
silos and 1S5 bushels Of wheat and
rye went up in smoke after lightning
had struck the barn belonging to Hen
ry Seaman, two miles south Of Elm
Hall A few tools were saved and no
horses or cattle were caught in the
burning building. No insurance was
carried on the burned property
w J. Washburn, southwest of the
city, lost several fruit trees and had
his barn badly racked as a result Of
the severe wind of Monday night.
