CHAUTAUQUA PLEASED PATRONS!
Attendance and -Interest Increased1  Every Day—Citizens
Guarantee Course for Next Year.
FROM ROUNDABOUT
The chautauqua has come and gone.
Five' big days were crowded -full to
overflowing with the best of attractions
in literary,musical, oratorical and entertainment lines, and our people
seemed to enjoy .every one of the twenty numbers that inade up the ftfil
progranrh.' From an audience " that
numbered 130 at the opening Thursday; afternoon the.'attendance and interest steadily increased, as the people
in village and. country learned of the
high quality and nature of the good
things provided, until Sunday evening, when almost every available seat
in the big tent'was occupied by a delighted patron."
The chautauqua marks an epoch in
Saline's history. For years we have
enjoyed (?) the reputation of starving
out nearly every good thing offered us
in the nature of uplifting entertainment features, and all have-every reason to feel proud of the advance made
this year along the right .lines. While
the venture was a losing proposition
this season from a financial standpoint
we have every reason to believe that
another .year's chautauqua will be
fully self supporting, and the good
that has been accomplished so far is
worth  all it has cost those generous
representatives of Saline's business
and professional interests "who have
cheerfully paid the amounts .they
guaranteed in jBupport of "the enterprise. ?
Sunday evening pledges were taken
in support of 'next seastih's offerings
and a liberal response: was- made. Indicative of the'hold the programs have
secured tin the* people may be mentioned a coupleipf incidents which.occurred duringihe taking of the subscriptions. &&the number of tickets
pledged was bemgi.announced, and it
looked for a time as though the required number.could not be reached,
one little miss cried" at the thought of
losing, and a young man from the
country, who had already signed for
one, beckoned to the writer and
promptly signed, for three more. That
is the spirit that grips nearly every
one who has the chance to attend a
well-balanced chautauqua. Additional subscriptions. were taken Monday
evening and sufficient have been
pledged to warrant our citizens in getting behind the;mbvement for another
year, which will be good news to all
who may have entertained doubts
about Saline being on the circuit next
year.

That company is talking of taking over
the municipal plant in Northville and
the village dads are getting data on the
question before' it is submitted to a
vote of the citizens of that village.
They found everything very satisfactory with the citizens at this place.—

Most of the onion fields in this vicinity are quite badly; damaged and many
of them will hardly pay the expense of
harvesting. According to the reports
from growers the drouth was one of the
causes, but most of the damage has
been done by an insect. Some of the
fields are not so far gone but .what the
rain of Monday will materially help in
maturing the crop. It is estimated that
the yield will be less than half of the
average crop.—Chelsea Standard.
Saturday afternoon George Sanford
met'with a serious accident.. The men
have been graveling tlie roads northeast
of town and Mr. Sanford.was also working. He drove into ^Gharies'''Benedi<S's

home; Dr. Hardy was called'and found
both.hones broken" above one ankle and
the other ankle badly bruised and swollen. The patient is getting along nicely. - Later in the afternoon there was
another cave-in in the same pit when
James Johnston" was caught under the
gravel and badly injured but no bones
broken. He has been laid up since as
the result.—TeCumseh Herald.
The Last Great European War
History repeats itself—but with variations. A hundred years ago France
alone under the leadership of Napoleon,
faced Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia
and Great Britain—and won.
At thirty-six, Napoleon had; conquered every nation of Europe arid in the
battle of Austerlitz in 1805, practically
brought the continent under the subjection of the French army. Then Austria, Germany and Russia formed 'the
great coalition against France, only to
be beaten in battle after battle until
they were forced to sue for peace.
England, thanks to her impregnable
navy, was the only nation not forced to
acknowledge Napoleon's rule,
It was the snow covered steppes of
Russia rather than the military science
of Europe that finally turned the- tide,
against ;him. '
The present European crisis gives a
particular opportuneness to the offer of
Napoleon's Memoirs, announcement of
which is made in another-column of this
paper.' Few hooks! throw a. more illuminating aijd interesting light on the
underlying caus.es of those years of
conflict than the fascinating story, of
the man whose meteoric career left
' Eurppe sown with the seeds' of discon*
tent.
. "Eventually," said Napoleon, "Russia will rule the world." The present
conflict Will go, far towards determining the truth of thatprophecy, and day
by day it will furnish an absorbing-illustration of the advance which . has
been inade in the art of warfare since
the days, only a century ago, when
i France alone had Europe at her feet.
Napoleon's Memoirs, written by his
p'rivate secretary.' Baron De Meneval,
Will, give you a clearer insight into that
tremendous upheaval of Europe which
the present crisis seems destined to reproduce.
The Custer Cavalry Brigade association will hold a reunion in Lansing,
September 16 and 17. The'1st, 5th,
6th and 7th Michigan regiments are also
to hold a reunion at the same time at
Lansing. It is quite probable that the
two will hold sessions together.
The burglars who broke into Russell
& Gradolph's store at ah early hour on
Thursday morning, ' were traced by
Under Sheriff Crohenwett to Adrian,
Montpelier, Ohio, and finally to Fort
Wayne, Ind., where ohe"of the trio attempted to sell a revolver to a pawnbroker. They were placed under arrest
by the local police of that city and held
until the arrival of the Monroe officers
and Gaylord Russell, the latter being
able to identify some of the stolen plunder: Saturday afternoon the three offenders, who claimed to be Williarh
Walker, teamster, Cleveland- Raymond
Hopkins, laund.ryman, Slwooda 111,, and
William Cassels, bellhop, from Toronto,
Canada, were brought back to. Monroe.
They have all confessed .-^Petersburg

A few- days ago representatives of a.
motor car company from Detroit were
here and President Kingsley showed
them desirable sites for a factory of
that kind. They were quite favorably
impressed and have written' him that
they would like to get his idea of how
their proposition wquld appfeal to Hie
people here, before the board came to
look over the. site, etc. 'They claim to
have contracted. for all the cars they
could make the first year, have passed
all the Experimental stages, and have
dies and patterns so they could start
turning but cars in 60 days. The plant
would require "'from 50 to 200 men as
production increased.. If $15,000 is
furnished by the "board of trade they
agree to deposit to be held in trust,
this amount of stock, with the understanding'that after the third year they
are to start paying back at the -rate of
no less than :one thousand dollars per
year, they to pay five per cent on un-
jiaidhalances.^-Manchester Enterprise.
Remarkable Cure of Dysentery.       '
j    "I was attacked with dysentery about
i July loth, and irsed the doctor's medi-
| cine and other remedies with  no relief,
i only getting worse all the time.    I was
' unable to do  anything and mjT weight
dropped from 145 to 125" pounds.'   I suffered for about two months when I was
advised- to  use   Chamberlain's    Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.   I used
two bottles of it and it gave -me permanent relief," writes B. "W. Hill of Snaw/
