Frank A. Worden, a. clerk in a Stock-
bridge dry goods store, was on his way
to the home of his parents in TJnacliilaj
late Monday night and when about half
a mile east of Stockbridge was fired at
with a rifle by someone concealed in
the bushes. Tbe bullet grazed tbe
right side of his neck sufficiently to
draw blood. It is thought that Worden
was mistaken for someone else, or that
the deed was prompted by pure cussed-
ness.—Chelsea Standard.
An embarrassing episode occurred at
the Methodist church Sunday evening.
Rev, Coburii announced the closing
hymn, read it; the choir and congregation arose, prepared, to sing the
hymn. The organist struck one key
after another on the big organ, but no
sound came forth. Everybody stood
silent for a time, but one member of
the choir finally decided that the
trouble was with the boy who pumps
the organ and hastened to his station,
where ho found the bpy sound asleep.
He awoke him and soon the naeessary
wind was furnished and the organ pealed
forth, much to the relief of everybody.

ARREST OF A PROMINENT BANKER
A Myterious Prisoner Taken  to  Headquarters.
Great excitement was caused yesterday by the report of the arrest of a
leading financier. At headquarters it
was admitted that there had been an
arrest, but the detectives refused to
give any further information beyond
saying that they had been worlciug ou
the case for weeks, and were satisfied
that the right party had been captured.
The amount involved is said to be over
four million dollars. They further informed the reporter that the full particulars of this startling affair were
given in "Old Sleuth, the Detective,"
issued to-day as No. 2 of Tbe Calumet
series. Any newsdealer will gladly
sboiryoaa- copy.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Saline Farmers' Club was held at
the pleasant and cosy home of Mr. and
Mrs. N. A. Wood, one and one-half
miles north-east of town, on Friday last.
The weather ,which seemed almost fitted
for the occasion, was of the finest,clear,
warm and still, and the many members
Of the organization enjoyed the beauties of nature and of the occasion by
their presence and the jolly party numbered sixty-five, besides the members
of Mr. W.'s family which increased it
to seventy. The writer, who had never
before attended one of their meetings
and knew but little of their manner of
conducting them, felt a little sidetracked at first but soon regained consciousness and was well paid for the
experimental trip.
The forenoon session opened by a
beautiful instrumental selection by Miss
Vesta Mills. The minutes of last meeting were then read, after which the report of the viewing committee was
brought'forth and was very interesting,
as it gave very clearly the ideas of the
viewing committee of the various kinds
of vegetable, fruits and grain furnished
by different members of the club.
The first question: "Is the raising of
rye in orchards a profikible crop, either
as pasture or for grainV" This question
seemed to be practical and did not lay
dormant, but was at ouce taken up. and
discussed freely and it was generally
believed tha"£ it was nc,t a fer.y profitable crop for. the seed there might be
gathered from it,but that for pasture in
late fall or early spring it was a good
investment, besides it was beneficial to
the orchards to the extent of the tillage of tbe soil which every orchard,
should have especially in the fall.
The question of smut was then introduced and many differences of opinion
seemed to exist as to the causes of its
growth and as to its being a plant of
itself, subject to growth under favorable
circumstances. H. D. Piatt thought
that there was more smut iu the human
race than there was twenty years ago
and naturally there would be in other
things.
The question next drawn from the
question box was, "Would the sowing
of timothy on a blue grass sod without
a preparatory crop be advisable?'7 and
was answered in the negative.
Mrs. N. A. Wood and C. B. Herbert
then favored us with a fine duet. The
president then made the announcement
which at most gatherings of this aud
other occasions meets the approval of
all, and the throng was soon gathered
around the tables doing justice to the
bounteous supply of good things, which
always form a part in the make up of
these pleasant gatherings.
A tour of investigation was next in
order and the gentlemen soon found,
themselves scattered about the farm.,
which consists "of ISt acres of hiodev.t
toly heavy with loiyffiy SQillaiTdiayir-g_.
quiteleyel. The house is quite modern,
the barns somewhat aged though in
fair repair. It is needless to say that
Norinan:s stock, particularly sheep, is
not to be compared with the average
grade, but are all made up of pure-bred,
high-grade, registered stock. The
first flock consisted of thirty-one spring
lambs that would almost pass for yearlings, their covering is fine, dark and
greasy and many of them a- mass of
wrinkles. We next observed his flock
consisting of sixty breediug ewes,
headed by Miss Comet, the heaviest
shearing ewe east of the Mississippi.
She is four years old and has shearecf
101 lbs., 5i ozs. Mr, Woo,ciy B.tdck -o|
horses, cattle and hogs is small, as he
- only keeps what he heeds for his own,
use, sheep being his specialty. His
apple crop is fair, about two hundred
barrels of picked fruit of a good quality
is estimated, and about two hundred
bushels of evaporating fruit has been
marketed.
During this ramble or recess the
ladies held their usual noon meeting,
which the OBSERVER scribe was, of
course, excluded from and consequently
has no report. Nevertheless, should
we attend another meeting a deputy
will be appointed to report the proceedings which will then make our report
much more complete. t
The afternoon program was opened
by a solo by Mrs. D. A. Townsend,
followed by select reading by Miss
Agathy Josenhans. The selection was
a fine one and was read in a most* able
manner, which helped to liven the opi,
casion. C. B. Herbert then favo^d us
with a solo entitled, "Rememb,er Boy,
You're Irish." Th^, tap.,wfl*3 r«vileVQfl
in a fine manncB.
Time h^cl flow iu-i-ived in which the
Plain topic of the day was to have been
discussed,namely, "Resolved that Free
Coinage would be Beneficial to tha
Farmers of Our Nation," but owing to
the absence of Mr. Harper, who was to
lead with the affirmative side, it was
thought best to postpone the discussion
uutil the next meeting when the question will be brought up and doubtless a
warm discussion will be the result, as
the question is one that everyone is
mofe or less interested in and nearly
everyone has a mind of their own regarding the question, and unless the
assembly is too much onesided as to
political views the problem will doubtless stand divided. We are confident,
however, that the debate will be very
interesting and well worth one's time
to go and hear.
Mr. H. D. Piatt was then called to
the floor to give his views of the law
relative to the low test on kerosene oil.
The call was promptly responded to
in a clear and positive statement
that the new test was a terrible mistake and that but few knew or could
realize the difference in the two oils
until too late. He said that during his
administration as state oil inspector
there was not a case of lamp explosion
in Michigan from direct cause, but
since July 1st, when the new law took
effect, there had been fourteen, explosions and three deaths, and that the
present oil, which is called 110 fire test,
is twenty-five degrees below the old
test that is marked 120 flash test. He
then spent considerable time in explaining the difference between tire
test and Hash test ahd also the dangers
of each. This, to the writer, was very
inter-esting an,& instructive and I trust
was equally sa to the club members
present, The old test oil he claims
ought not to cost any more than the
new and recommended its use.
The committee then made the announcement for the next meeting wh ich
will be held at Henry Tower's, Nov.
18th, after which Miss Vesta Milis
favored the assembly with two nice instrumental selections aud the meeting
was adjourned.
