Mr.. and Mrs. Gala Maxwell returned
Tuesday from visit of several days
with the formers aunt, Mrs. M. M.
Buttars, at Port Austin, Huron County.
This village occupies picturesque sit
uation on the lake shore and Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxwell are very enthusiastic
over its beautiful surroundings and the
pure lake air that pervades that Sec
ton. While there they took an auto
trip about the country and Gala says he
found the farms to be Of the finest
kind. Moreover, the weather has been
more favorable than in this section, as
there have been no killing frosts. and
corn, beans and potatoes are still grow
ing. Beans grown in that vicinity
have done well this year and are con-
sidered very good crop.

Prof. w. d White and the Athletic
Association of Clio High School have
arranged for the presentation of a
splendid lecture course in Clio during
the fall and winter. The course will
consist of five numbers and if the ex-
pense of securing it is any indication
of quality it should be about the best
thing of the kind ever given here. In
order to make the course of the widest
public benefit, however, is has been de-
cided to make the price of season tickets
as low as possible and the same has been
fixed at SIPS. The first nxmber of the
course will be given by "The Virgin

evening, October 28. This company ia
said to be very fine indeed, and it is to
be hoped that every lover of music will
be present to hear them.

yearling heifers which brought an aver
age of $500 apiece, At the sale of
Alvah C. Fuller, held Wednesday. a
good price was realized for everything
sold. Both of these sales were adver>

MEL ]. BERST0M, SR.
MURDERED IN FLINT
POLICE FAIL TO TRACE THE MUIR
DERER
Tragedy Took Place Sunday Afternoon
in Victims Office Near Public
Thoroughfare

Mel J. Berston. Sr., prominent ana
wealthy citizen of Flint, was murdered
in his real estate office in the Parkland
subdivision it that city last Sunday af-
ternoon at about three o'clock, by be-
ing shot through the heart. While the
little Office is within few feet OF
residence, and near the street where
people were constantly passing, no one
heard the shot which caused Mr.. Bers-
toms death and as yet the police have
been able to get little or no clue to the
identity of the murderer. The object
of the crime was undoubtedly robbery,
as the pockets of the dead man were
turned inside out, and large sum OF
money which it is known he had collect
ed as payments on lots was missing.
The crime was discovered within a
few minutes after it was committed,
and several persons give good descrip-
tions of man who was seen leaving
the office few minutes before the dis
covery of the crime, but the murderer
made good his escape and the probable
ity of his apprehension seems very
remote.
:, Mr.. Berston was highly regarded in
Flint and his murder in broad daylight,
for the purpose of robbery, constitutes
one of the most dastardly crimes in the
history of the county. The victim 8
son, Mel Berston, Jr., has offered re-
ward OF $4,000 for information that
will lead to the arrest and conviction of
the murderer.

Republican Rally

The Republican rally held at the Au-
ditorium Wednesday evening was at
tended by medium size crowd, which
evinced it's interest in local and general
issues by close attention to all of the
speakers. The editor of The Messenger
had the honor to preside as chairman of
the meeting and introduced, in turn,
DR.. II. A. Stewart, candidate for the
state senate; Jesse Good, candidate for
county clerk, John Chestnut, candidate
for sheriff; Clare Proper, candidate for
reelection as county treasurer; F. w.
Brennan. candidate for circuit Judge,
and Roy Brownell, candidate for prose-
cutting attorney, all of whom promised
allegiance to the best interests of the
county in case they were elected, and
made very favorable impression.
Hon. VIM. J. Smith, of st. Johns, made
the principal address of the evening
which was devoted mainly to history
of the national prosperity that has al
ways followed the operation of pro-
tective tariff law and of the national
disaster that has always followed the
establishment of free trade laws. Mr..
Smith is good speaker and made
plain, logical and convincing address.
That the meeting was not more numer-
ously attended is probably due to the
fact that the arr 1gements for it were
made too late to permit of publication
in the local paper. Another rally, with
Congressman Kelly as a principal speak
er, will be held later in the month.

ceded that Chas. E. Hughes is one of
the strongest political speakers ever
heard in this country and it is expected

by an assemblage representative of the
strength of the reunited Republican
party in Genesee county.

Statement by Congressman Kelley Ex-
planning the Provisions of new
and Important Law

To the Edstor:
Through your courtesy would like
to call attention of widows of Civil War
soldiers to the new pension law which
has just taken effect. the so-called Ash
brook Law.
This law will benefit the following
classes of widows of Civil War soldiers:
1. Any widow heretofore entitled
to Sl2 will be given an increase to 500
if she married the soldier prior to his
military service.
2. Any widow heretofore entitled to
$l2 will be given an increase to $40 if
she is 70 years old or over.
g. Any widow who was the widow
of soldier and later remarked and has
again been widowed either by divorce
on her application without fault or by
death, can now secure a pension.
4. Any widow of Civil War soldier,
who married such soldier prior to June
u, 1905, can now secure pension.
The limitation formerly was June q,
1890, but has now been changed to
June q. 1905.
Any widow who thinks she will be
benefited by any of the provisions of
the law, If she will write me at Lansing
and state the facts of her case l will
inform her as to her rights under the
law, furnish her the necessary blank
and look after the matter for her at
the Bureau of Pensions. This being a
part of my official duties no charge
will be made to any widow for such
service, and will be very glad to rem
der it.
