GOVERNOR FERRIS
WARMLY GREETED
CROWD PACKED AUDITORIUM TO
CAPACITY
Distinguished Speaker Advocates Rur.
al High Schools, Good Roads, and
Work as a Character Builder

A record crowd turned out Wednes.
day evening to hear Governor Wood
bridge N. Ferris who appeared on the
program of the Farmers Institute.
The governor always discusses the real
problems of every day life in his
speeches and his effort was thus direct
ed in his speech here.
1t is impossible for US to give any,
thing like a complete resume of his
speech in the time at our disposal and,
as matter of fact, the great majority
of our readers heard the speech, rend-
ering such effort unnecessary. In brief,
the governor advocated the construc-
ton of good roads as a factor in agri-
cultural prosperity, the establishment
of rural high schools. with practical in
struction in agriculture, furnishing an
opportunity for country boys and girls
to secure basic education in the en-
vironment of home, which he said is
superior to any other if the home is
what it should be. Work, he said, is
the basis of human accomplishment and
the boy or girl for whom their parents
make things too easy are placed at a
serious disadvantage. Recreation for
young and old was also advocated.
Preceding the governors address the
High School chorus rendered two very
pleasing selections, under the direction
of Miss Updegratf, and the little lads
and lassies of the second and third
grades gave charming flower drill.
under the management of the Misses
Haven and Smith. The program of the
afternoon and evening was very inter-
esting and the attendance was large.

SARGENT

VIM. H. Sargent, one of Clos best
known and most respected citizens,
passed away at his home shortly after
eleven o'clock yesterday morning. His
death was very sudden and unexpected,
as he had attended the speech given by
Gov. Ferris, the evening previously
and was at that time apparently in fair
health. He had been i'll of grippe for
couple of weeks, however, but was
thought to be convalescent. He was
taken i'll in the night and despite every
effort passed away of heart failure as
stated above. At the time of his death
Mr.. Sargent was, as he had been for
many years, justice of the peace. He
was veteran of the civil war and a
prominent member of the G. A. r. The
surviving members of his family are
his widow and one daughter, Mrs. Har-
ry Hudson. At the hour of our going
to press, funeral arrangements had not
been completed.

King Oscar Sees Harden

On Hardeen's arrival in Stockholm,
Sweden, someone determined to ruin
his reputation, and publicly declared
him to be an impostor, challenging
Harden to escape from some specially
made handcuffs. All preparations were
made for the acceptance of the chal-
lenge at a special matinee perform
ance. but on the appointed day the
challenger failed to appear.
The newspapers, of course, devoted
columns and columns to this episode,
and raised such furore of enthusiasm
and court comment that King Oscar de-
termined to see this sensational
stranger. Accordingly he personally
attended Hardeen's performance in
company with the royal family on Apr.
18th, 1901, at the Royal Olympia Hip
podrome, Stockholm.
Harden will appear at the Majestic,
in Flint, today and tomorrow and will
not only escape from a milk can full of
water In which he has been locked by a
committee, but will also escape in a
few moments from a specially con-
structed strong box made by employees
of the Buick shops.

in wild dashes over miles of country
roadway. The decisive battles of the
Civil War are reproduced in faithful
delail and you see these conflicts fought
again just as they were waged fifty
years ago.

into a worse fate than war. Their
lands are overrun by hungry horde OF
vengeful politicians and grafters. The
poor negro is cajoled into a false un
derstanding of liberty and. in his ig'
norance is led into excesses by these
scalawags of fortune. Out of it comes
the ghostly garbed crusaders of ter

of brotherly love in an allegorica

drama they ever saw in their lives. 1t.
