best of talent within reach of Owosso
ties.
Following is letter from Mr. Crane
Editor,
Owosso Times,
Owosso, Michigan.
Deals l am very much pleased
to announce that the Art Society has
been able to secure the Detroit Sym
phony Quartette for an appearance at
the Baptist church in the evening OF
Thursday, December 9Th. All who
have heard this quartet in Detroit or
elsewhere should be delighted at the
opportunity offered on this occasion to
hear it at home. The quartet has been
asked to give very short program at
the High School in the afternoon. One
of the purposes OF the Art Society is to
offer the younger generation an oppor-
tunity to hear the best and thus learn
to appreciate good music. A meeting

Rev. w. B. Denny, Mr.. II. X. White
Mr.. w. A. Seegmiller, Mr.. Daniel E.

brary, Saturday evening, at $50. After
this meeting further announcement
will be lmade. Through an unfortu.
nate oversight. the name of Mr.. Fred
Woodland did not appear on the ballot.
l might say that Mr.. l.. L. Conn was
really elected but asked on account of
the many things he had in hand at the
present time to be relieved-st the
same time expressing his strong inter-
est in the success of his new movement
in Owosso.
All Of those. with possibly one excep.
ton, who applied for mem bership have
signi6ed their willingness, in view of
the smaller membership secured. to be
satisfied with two concerts. 1t is
hoped, however, that many more will
apply for membership. and in thus do.
ing, they will benefit themselves and
the town at large for the reason that
there will be q definite backing and the
opportunity will be given the directors
to negotiate with the best talent.
s 1t is suggested that those who have
applied for membership now send their
cheek fof "a %, made out to the Art
Society OF 0 wosso, to Mrs. E. E. Coop
or, Temporary Secretary. Box IS.

miration tsecond to the profound es- teem of the masters of art and literature) | for the champions of the padded glove | profession. I have as much respect for, game loser as I have for a cheerful | winner and naturally dislike the fellow that only sees but one side or one man (the victor) and frequently becoming | prejudiced.
 While we must assume the superiority of the victor (Jack Dempsey, admire his greater physical qualities and gift ed by nature his unquestionable stami- na to absorb punishment without finch ing.
 The latter attribute believe to be the greatest asset 70 the gloved first artist who aspires the championship of his class. Even though the boxing game is one of science 1t is also a pronounced test of endurance.
 Therefore that our present heavyweight | champion. Mr. Dempsey has all of these qualifications we should not under esti- l mate the brilliant and sensational cali bre of Georges Carpenter. We must l truthfully admit that he is far above i the mediocre init finger.
 The defeat of the idol" is candidly ex-
 pressed by James J. Corbett (and he
 should know). He was licked by a bigger man, but not better"
 That Carpenter should remain an idol
 among his friends is justifable That he
 should retain the sentiments of his fol-
 lowers is natural. But that he should
 be the object of ridicule .0 a few and
 the target of undue criticism is shame fYlly wrong and without precedence. To the writer's recollection, it Is thi. , sa-oe criticism and unsportsmanlike con deInnation, right here in the Rose of Nev { England that caused to disconcert a . least two of our local pugilistic aspir. Q ants.
 I question any man, 'Ts 1t disgrace t 0 meet with reverses or a defeat when en Q deavcring to climb the ladder of fame D Whether one Is contending for honor 0 in the squared circle or any other pro

Decline fin rrice of Wheat.

Chicago, July 5.--Relief from excess sive heat in the northwest together with rains there and in other sections brought about material declines today in the price of wheat.
 The market closed heavy 1-4 to S 1-2c net lower with September $1.15 1-2 to $1.16 and December $1.16 1-4 to SLY. Corn lost to 3-4, and oats S-4 to POP 1-Sc. In provisions the out come varied from 15 cents decline to 10 cents advance.
 Throughout the day, selling of wheat was fairly general and buying demand was anything but brisk, especially in the ast thirty minutes, when the lowest prices of the session were reached. Lfb- eraf receipts and slowness of shipping call weakened corn. Oats declined in sympathy with other grain. September delivery selling at the lowest price yet thi sseason. Provisions showed lack oftany aggressive demand.
