A Kansas paper has for its motto,
"Lie, steal, drink and swear," and it is
thus explained by the editor. "When
you lie, let it be down to pleasant
dreams; when you steal, let it be away
from immoral associates: when you
drink, let it be pure water; when you
swear, let it be that you will patronize your home paper, pay your subscription, and not send your job work
away from town."
When John Quincy Adams was 80
years of age he met in the streetn of
Boston an old friend who shook his
trembling hand and said—"Good
morning, and how is John Quincy
Adams to-day?" "Thank you" was the
ex-President's answer, "John Quincy
Adams himself is well, .sir, I thank
you. But the house in which he lives
at present is becoming delapidated.
It is tottering upon its foundation.
Time and the seasons have nearly
destroyed it. Its walls are much shattered and it trembles with every wind.
The old tenement is almost uninhabitable and I think John Quincy Adams
will have to move but of it soon. But
he himself is quite well sir, quite
well," and with the aid of hia staff,
that venerable sixth President of the
United States moved on.
THE
"CAPTAIN"
PARl'ED.
HAS     DE>
So-Called Salvation Army People
Gone  to  another   Clime,
Leaving Several
Debts.
For twenty years to the writer's
knowledge, Olare has not been .infested with such a miserable humbug
clothed in Salvation Army stripes and
supposedly representing the principals of Jesus Christ, as has been hold'
ing forth in Dunwoodie hall up to last.
Friday night. The 0apti3n's(?) ap
pearance would not favoaably impress one, and a half hour's conversation with him is all that would be
necessary to show his utter unfitness
for the work to which he claimed to
have been "called." He stood up "before an audience ahd confessed that
he could neither read or write, and,
having learned two or three hymns,
would stand before the people with
a hymn book in hand and, pretpnd to
read,-—a lie on the face of it. But this
is tame. Having remarked that "we
Salvation Army people will do most
anything for money," he said if they
would raise him twenty-five cents he'd
sing them a song entitled, "Where
did you get that hat?" which he did,
with the audience, consisting mostly
of boys, joining in the chorus.
Friday all day he was busy soliciting edibles for a supper and asking
people up to his "doin's." We had
heard'of these disgraceful meetings but
was obliged to discredit these reports,
so resolved to take in the "doin's"—
less the ten cent supper part of the
program.
An admission of ten cents being
charged at the door, the congregation
was slow assembling, but about half
past eight the meeting commenced.
The Oaptian announced that this
meeting was in the name of the Lord,
and after a song without reading of
scripture his "woman" prayed, and
following'her, he commenced a prayer.
When about half through a terrible
report was heard, The old lady got
hysterics and the Captain, , who
thought some one shot at him through
tha window, demanded that Robert
Maxwell, the door keeper^ .guard the
inside while he went out to do police
duty. But scarcely had he reached
the door when another report was
heard. This, infuriated him to the
extent that he lost his nead.   He tore

open his coat, showed a big marshal's
scar,- went down into bis right hip
pocket,and procuring a "Billy"—a regular leather bag full of lead—said he'd
take the law in his own hands and
that he could arresi any man in the
United States, and made a race for
Grant DeFoe, brandishing the Billy
in the air. Grant didn't dodge so he
somewhat cooled off. After the explosion of several more torpedoes, and
the Captain's denouncing the people
of Olare and branding them as "worse
than heathens" he stood a six-year-old
boy in front of a little red cross", the
boy surrounded by a U. S. flag, drew
the sheets used as curtains and said
"This is Jesus as he appeared on the
cross." The meeting broke up with a
hullabaloo. He may have previously
decided to leave, but the advice of one
of our citizens was taken and the pair
left Saturday morning on the first
train west, leaving unpaid a board
bill and several others.

Supreme  Court Decides  an
ports nt Case   Affecting
Sidewalks.
In affirming the judgment of $1000
secured by Anna Lee against the city
of Port Huron, tbe supreme court
makes an important ruling. Port
Huron by- ordinance provided for licensing bicyclists to ride on sidewalks
on certain streets. Plaintiff paid the
fee and obtained license. She recovered for injuries sustained while
riding on.a defective walk.
The court says that a failure on the
part of a municipality to keep sidewalks in repair entails upon it liability for injuries sustained by the traveler who has exercised due care.
While a bicycle is a vehicle, it is not
to be classed, in all its methods ot use,
with other vehicles drawn by animal
or mechanical power, To ride a bicycle on a sidewalk may not be a nuisance, where to drive a horse and wagon upon it would. A baby carriage is
a yehicle, but it is not a nuisance
upon either streets or sidewalks. The
riding of a bicycle upon a sidewalk is
not an unlawful act at common law.
What Would be a nuisance upon aside-
walk continually crowded, with foot
passengers, would not be a nuisance
upon a sidewalk little traveled.
. Under the broad powers conferred
by the charter, the city has power to
permit this use of sidewalks, and the
city must, therefore, keep the walks
in reasonable repair for ordinary use
of bicyclists,    if   walks   were  con
structed of plank running lenyttiwise,
the plank might be 30 far apart as to
permit the tire of a wheel to be
caught in openings and cause the
rider to fall, while it would be entirely
safe for predestrians. Or there might*
be a depression in a cement walk, entirely safe for pedestrains, but' unsafe
for bicycles.
Another Car Ferry.
The Pere Marquette railroad wil!
build a new car ferry, to be known as
Pere Marquette No. 18, and to be a
duplicate ot the car ferry Pere Marquette ISo. 17.
It is to cost $400,000 and will be a
twin screw vessel, 350 feet over all*
56 feet beam, and 19 feet 6 inches
deep. She will have four railroad "
tracks on the main deck, and a capacity of 30 standard freight cars. It
will be constructed to withstand ice..
She is expected to be ready for ser*-
vice between Ludington and Milwaukee next season, and a contract will -
shortly be placed with one of the
lake shipyards.
