.fire department out of existence, the

There seems to be quite a general
dissatisfaction with the action of the
council in bunching the electric lights
on McEwan street-with a lamp at 4th,
5th and 6th streets in succession, with
none at the railroad. It is likely to
be changed, but how, is a question.

or the Witch's Secret." There was
some talk of repeating tbe MDutch
Recruit," oa account of such a general
demand for .a second night, but as
"Imogene" is a play of much force and
is full of fine situations, doubtless it
will be readily accepted as a substitute.

W. S Cooley and John Husted have
each a very fast stepping nag-in which
they respectively take considerable
pride. Wednesday afternoon they
were giving them a little exercise—
.sort of a constitutional—and as they
were coming down Main street a little
faster than the city marshal thought
was prudemt, he arrested them. - Mr.
Husted paid his fine, but Mr. Cooley,
believing the grounds for the charge of
fast driving in hiscase were not sufficient, pleaded not guilty and Friday
(today) was appointed for a hearing
before Justice Mclntyre. There being
an error in the complaint, the matter
has been dropped for the present, but
will be resumed.
Mrs. Orrin Brownell, who with her
husband lives at ''Lank" Whitney's
near the bridge on McEwan street,
created quite a sensation Wednesday
morning, by taking an ounce of laudanum. It is generally believed that
she tried the quick route to the other
world, but if that was the case the
doctors headed her off. Between
eight and nine o'clock Brownell summoned Drs. Dayis and Csrpenter, displaying an ounce bottle with a few
drops of laudanum remaining in it,
sayinging his wife had taken the bot-
tleful. The doctors found the woman
unconscious and as "limp as a rag."
By energetic action and the administration of proper antidotes, the woman
was brought back from land of shades,
but it took two or threebours to do it.
The dose of laudanum that was said to
have been taken was enough to kill a
dozen or more ordinary people,but it is
said that the woman was addicted to
its use.

An exchange says: "There is hardly a married man who does not carry
in his pocket the picture of an attractive young lady not his wife. We
violate no confidence in saying that

ornaments the silver dollars that we
all adore."

Coleman correspondense to the Midland Republican, Tuesday: A man
was found dead, about eight miles
from here near the Gladwin road.
Not far from where the Clare road
branches from the Gladwin, an old dray
road runs from the Clare road to the
river. It had not been in use for some
time. Last Thursday two men were go-,
ing through preparing to draw some
logs to the river when a few rods from
the Clare road they saw a man lying
on his face. They at-first thought him
drunk but on closer examination they
found that he was dead and had lain
there'for some time. He had made a
bed of houghs. A razor was lying near
by with which he had apparently severed the arteries of his right wrist,
and then as if regreting the deed, he
had endeavored to bandage the wound.
It is thought he had lain there for
about two weeks. The mice had eaten
out one eye and nibbled his face some.
In his pocket was found about twenty-
two dollars and a check of eight dollars
on the Glare bank. He was taken .to
Beaverton for inquest. The remains
will be brought from Beaverton this
morning for interment in the cemetary
here, I unerstand that his'name was
Dunson. A brother in good business
in Bay City came to make arrangements for burial.

play is sure to have a crowded house. <
The attention of the city- council is
'respectfully called to the fact that under the park ordinance the permanent
park commission is not appointed until the new council is organized. With
the usual delays the commission is not
likely to be appointed until some time
in May. With moderate allowance it
will be June before the commission begins to do anything. Would it not be
a good idea to have a temporary committee appointed of aldermen who
hold over to have a survey made and
such other work done of stumping and
plowing and other work that must be
performed in any case, so far at least
as may be, without handicapping the
permanent commission? There is
some work that must be done anyway,
and why not carry it as far as possible
so that an early start. may be made
when once the commission takes hold
of the matter?

The meeting at the Sentinel office
last Saturday night for the purpose of
undertaking the organization of a
foundry company was not - so largely
attended'as it might have been, owing
to the unfavorable night, but enough
were present to canvass the \ question-
quite thoroughly. A committee was
appointed to solicit stock' for such a
company, in order to measure the
strength of the favorable sentiment.
Another was appointed to report estimates upon the probable cost of
various articles that it is proposed to
manufacture, to ascertain how
close would be the competition with
outside factories. The meeting adjourned to meet at the Sentinel
office again next Wednesday evening^
Mar.20, at which time the eommittipes
will report. It is hoped that a large
number of both business men and
working men will get together and
exchange ideas. Your presence will
help even if you say not a word. Your
absence is likely to be construed as
hostility—or what is as bad, indifference—toward the move.
