The pastor of the M. E. Church a t Sar-

anac, employed the New Revision in his pulpit Sunday last. Quite a number took their Ribles to church to compare them with the scr ipture lessons. Mr.

The band was playing the o ther night

and a cold-bloeded critic swung around his ear to listen and presently remarked

The Detroit Post and Tribune of the loth was a mammoth sheet of thir ty- two

pages wi th seven columns to the pagi— the largest paper ever issued in the

West. It came out in a new form and

new dress and f rom a new "Scott 's Ro-tory Web Pr in t ing and Folding Machine.' t he fastest, largest and best print ing

press ever put up in the Slate. The Post and Tribune has taken a big j u m p ahead and landed in the front rank of the very best papers in the coitniiy. We feel

like get t ing out the band and giving it a l i ig shake-down benefit.

Monday evening the second story plat-

form a t the rear of Mrs Spraguo's milli-nery shop broke down, precipitating in-to the river below—nearly twenty f e e t -

Mrs. Heman Hogan and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hogan. The former fell head fore-most into the muck and was unable to extr icate herself, but with the aid of

Fred and others she was taken out unin-jured. Mrs. Fred Hogan received a slight cut over one eye and some bruises

but was not seriously hur t . I1'red was

only slightly injured. Hundreds of peo-

ple were on the spot in a few moments a f t e r the crash was beatd and the ex-

; oitement was high until the parties were 1 safely out. The platform was a mere , skeleton f r a m e work, hardly strong i enough to bold its own weight. It was

1 a very fo r tuna te mishap for one so ex-

tremely dangerous. If there are any more shaky rookeries in town—-and I here a r e — t h e y should be looked a f t e r , either pulled down or made safe.

Some days ago Mrs. John Headley. of Ada. went to Ann Arbor to receive t reat-ment for blindness, and soon a f te r arri-

ving there was taken seriously ill. Con-t inuing to grow worse her husband was sent for. who reached A n n Arbor only two hours before her death, which oc-ctlrred about one o ' dcck . Saturday morn-ing. The remains were brought to Ada

Saturday af te rnoon. Deceased was a lady highly esteemed by all and the an-

nouncement of her death will cause ma-ny hearts to mourn. Her death was caused by Bright's disease.

They sat up Saturday night to see the eclipse of the moon. Her head was rest-

ing upon his shoulder. The big round moon looked on but didn ' t say a word. The light was out in the parlor, the shut-

ters were open and the old folks were in bed in ano ther part of the house. It was between eleven and dreary mid-

night 's holy hour, but it wasn ' t very

dreary. Not for Joe. There they sat and watched. A total eclipse of the

moon can' t be seen every night . They were s i t t ing close by an open window. "Fis/.t-spish-shi- i-i-sh-yc-ow-w w-w-we-or-r-r-o-o-o-irow.'.'" It was the cat—two

o f ' e m . The lirsl one jmoped kerplunk into the open window without a mo-ment 's warn ing and the other followed.

The f ront ca t landed upon the shirt front of the young man. or that portion

of it not already pre-empted. They did not see the eclipse that night .

The rocker was lifted up with a broken back and the young man would have been fixed the same way but Hie old gent leman's boot, which had been hasti-

ly pulled on. lacked about two feet of

reaching the mark. Il took the poor girl a long t ime to explain and the old

gent leman otfered so many amendments to every motion she made tha t she Conkliugized—resigned—and they are still balloting to find out who the young mail was. The old man swears he'll break the dead-lock if it takes all sum-mer. Il looks now as though somebody might be arrested for murder in the first degree. H a n g a cat, anyhow.
