Common Council meets, next week
Wednesday, The honorable body will
please take note of the fact that young
men and boys bathe in the mill pond
witMn five rods of "the open road witb-
- out any effort at concealment although
ladiee are compelled to pass frequently. The same thing also occurs near
the-bridge north of the city, where, on
several occasions, boys, entirely nude,
liave chased girls going along the
street. Will the council do anything
about it? These matters are no secret
but are common talk. As these places
are witMn the city limits, an ordinance might, at least* be passed, and
ma_$bal' instructed to enforce it.

LKow that schools are beginning
again, we suggest to all enterprising
teachers that they send five cents
worth of stamps to Lewis, M. Miller,
Lansing, and get a copy of "State
Affairs," published by him. If after
examining it they do not think it
would be a fine thing to take the journal regularly for the good of themselves
and older pupils, well—we have our
opinion of such teachers.
A Coleman poet in last week's Inde-
pent "did the town" in rhyme. He
described each business place in succession down the long street until he
reached the Commercial house, kept
by Sweetman & Phinisey where the
tale breaks off. Whether the longhaired rhymster stopped there for a
smile and forgot to resume, his story,
or the shades of night fell too heavily
upon his delicate shoulders, is not yet
revealed.

"Many people are just now wondering what the ratio 'sixteen to one'
means as applied to the silver question.
Sixteen to one means that in the coinage one grain or one .ounce of gold is.
equal to sixteen grains or sixteen
ounses of silver. This relates only to
the amount of pure metal in either
dollar. The alloy put in is to harden the
metal and to prevent abrasion, cuts no
figure. The mixture of silver alloy
and is known as 'standard silver.'
Thus the silver dollar contains 412£
grains of standard silver, but only 3711
grains of pure silver. The weight of
the silver dollar was changed in 1884-7
from 416 grains to. .£!__. grains, but the
amuont of pure silver it contains has
always remained.the same, 37li grains,

first secretary of the treasury.—Ex,

The announcement in our advertising columns that S. C. LKirkbride will
soon retire from merchantile business
in Glare,  will cause  many   regrets
among the multitude of shoppers who
have learned to associate his name
with their ideal of reliability, courtesy
and general ^purpose of meeting the
thousand and one claims of the' trading public.   Mr. Kirkbride has built
up a magnificent trade in dry goods,
and kindred lines, and not to meet him
in the capacity „of a merchant will
seem bery unusual.    We understand
that his reason for disposing of his
business is on account of • impaired
health, due to years of close .confinement and application to business. We
are glad to announce that Mr. Kirkbride will remain in Clare.    It is his
purpose later in the season to capitalize and establish a plant for the manufacture of wooden novelties, employing about 25 men.   We wish the gentleman abundance of success in this
. new" line, as there seems to be a good
field for operations and it surely is
what the town needs.   Mr, Kirkbride,
merchant, will become Mr. Kirkbride,
manufacturer,
0. S. Chase relates act interesting incident which fell under his observation while doing the Midway at the
fair, recently. It was in front of an
African village where a Bahomey warrior was brandishing his murderous
Weapons and boasting of his prowers
and of how many men he had killed.
In his vehemence he picked up a little
pebble and shied it at a German who
was passing in haste with a tray of
beer mugs filled with frothy beverage
borne aloft. The pebble hit the
Beutcher on the ear causing him to
jump and drop his tray. Coming over
to the son of Africa he inquired in an
offended tone, "What for you trow dat
stein?" The warrior, bristling all over
with knives, jumped up' and down,
warning, the beer porter that he would
cut him up into sausage meat if he did
not flee away. The German did not flee
but repeated his question, "What for
you trow dot stein?" LN"o .satisfactory
explanation forthcoming, the child of
the Bhine proceeded to wipe the dirty
Chicago dirt with the child of the
Higer for a few moments, and. then
picking up his tray, continued to dispense his amber liquid as though, nothing hadohappened.

As a sequel to the T. & A. A. strike
last spring, the railroad company
brought suit for damages against Chief
Arthur of the Brotherhood. It has
been settled by Arthur paying the
company $2,500 and costs. The principle thus established that damages
may be recovered for boycotting a railroad by refusing to handle its freight
is an important point.
