Mrs. Lancashire, though away from Alma lor the present retains an active interest in the work of the League and is one of the largest contributors to the reading room. Although the children had only the hours on Friday after school and Saturday morning, and in spite of the heavy rain, forty exhibits of wild (lowers were entered and the sight was surprisingly beautiful. In many cases the flower arrangements called out much admiration by their art istic appearance. The stormy day kept the attend ance rather small, but everyone who came was enthusiastic over the chinning display and the energy and taste shown by the young collectors. h. should be remembered that the prhes were awarded for the largest and most correctly named number of varieties as well as the artistic ar rangement.

Upon arrival at this sta - tion the party was met by Dr. J. II Lancashire and daughter, and the entire party driven to the cemetery where short burial services conducted by Rev.

Last Saturday evening about '.::!0, Marion Bigler of Forest Hill was seriously but not fatally wounded by a- accidental discharge of a shot gun. Mr. Bigler in company with a number of other gentlemen made up a charivaring party and made an in formal call upon H. F. Pettit and wife, nee Miss Ellen Stull, who were married last Friday evening. The party had a number of guns ami many rounds of ammunition. Upon arriving at the home of the young married couple they made their pre sence known by a good old fashion ed "belling." Bigler in some way got in front of one of the guns and received a discharge of shot. Dr. Lamb was immediately called. At first it was thought that the injury might prove fatal as the shot struck the young man on the side of the face and neck. He is suffering from eleven wounds none of which arc ex tremely serious. Mr. Bigler was heavily dressed this in all probability saved his life and the heaviest part of the discharge was checked by his clothing. The furniture and furnishings of the Arcada Hotel will be sold at pub lic auction next Saturday morning. The sale will take place on the prem ises of the hotel.

Willard Carlylc Barnhart arrived in Alma last Wednesday morning, and will make his home with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Barnhart of Cadillac who arc guests of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. If. B. Stuckey. Mas ter Willard1 will doubtless prove a very valuable assistant in the clerk ing force of the Independent Cash Grocery. FROM THOSE WHO KNtW HIM In an interview. Dr. A. F. Bruskc paid the following tribute to Ammi Jgme.u Kepi ...... ,.u. . engaging ,., unwise proceedings and his hopeful ness carried him through all disast ers. It is true that he had quite a genius for discovering delinquencies in others, but that was because he had such ideals as a gentleman, of ' ilstr- and honor, and he certain- ly would not require of others what he was not ready to do himself. He never seemed to be envious towards others who succeeded but was always rejoicing in their success. One of his peculiar pleasures was to discover young and ambitious manhood that could be trusted and started on its way to success. Scores of men were found by him in this way and made rich, lie was never oppressive to wards liis competitors. Instead of trying to crush them as is asserted of so in.'iry other men. who have be come so conspicuously rich, he al ways practiced the doctrine of fair play. I lis conscience was far above legal obligations. He has been known to pay thousands and thou sands of dollars for the obligations of which his conscience and not the law v.as responsible, lie was pre eminently a modest man; modest in allowing others to be heard first, say ing very little himself, but what he said was s,, sustained by well-nigh infallible judgment that people very seldom differed from him. Another element of his success was the fact that he was always true to a friend. No malicious gossip could shake him. Consequently, what friends he had. he kept to the- end. aiuLthcy were so enthusiastic that they would go thro fire and water for him. 11 is benevo lence w as developed in later - years. He cai. e to realize that to accumu late was nut a part of the privilege of life and that to distribute was a still happier privilege.' He has pro bab'y given more money to Alma college than all other -people; more than the church that founded it. -The college feels that he. is itsfher and" as long as his mind was clear he was planning for it and doing for it and was very happy in what he did." Gilbert M. Stark of Saginaw, a life-long friend of Mr. Wright, paid the following tribute to the deceased: "Ammi W. Wright belonged in a superlative degree to the 'Old School,' now seemingly passing away. The dd principles, scrupulous honesty, exact justice, fair dealing, accom panied by economy, thrift and toil were his guides. "He was successful to an unusual j iicgrce but be passed through periods where the souls of men were tried and strong nun went down. Those wlm think that his success was owing to the choice of business and was comparatively easy arc much mis taken. He succeeded because of his firm convictions in his principles and his untiring and increasing efforts; he had the courage of his convictions and backed up his judgment of men and his ventures in business in the face of unusual discouragements; he earned his success by downright hard work. For one desiring to succeed in business the life of Ammi W. Wright would be a better study than many of the present-day aids and I helps. He insisted upon his rights. but he always accorded to others their dues; his uprightness was such that his own rights never became j another's wrongs; he detested hyp- ocrisy, unfairness and double dealing fully as much as he did downright dishonesty. If his confidence was once abused the task of regaining it was well-nigh hopeless; nothing, how ever, but an act amounting to a breach of a high moral code would shake his confidence. While improvements in business , naturally conservative, vet as to those great principles of right and wrong and existing conditions of government, he was unswerving in his steadfast loyalty, believing that such things were worth the growth of ages and having the keenest faith for and confidence in the work of the past ages, willing to adapt himself to new conditions, but always under old truths, without spasmodic, hasty or revolutionary methods. "I have no doubt there arc men and women living today who were influenced in character building by his life, even though they may not have known him personally, and such results are of greater benefit to j a community than is generally rec ognized, for " 'A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs.'" E. W. Brown and wife of Farwcll were callers in Alma last Monday. in Crop. Pulfrey Plans Many Changes In Hotel. The Arcada Hotel will be open again to the public about June first if the plans of proprietor George W. Pulfrey carry aright. Before it is opened however, many changes will be made. The whole house will be refurnished and redecorated. There will be a main entrance to the dining rooi" through a vestibule from Pros- pect street.

According to Mr. Pul frey the new arrangements calls for an entrance from Prospect street, to the dining room together with the one from the office. There will also be another access to the stairway. A landing will be made about half way to the second story with one flight of stairs running into the of fice ami the other into the waiting room. Throughout the building new carpets will be laid while in all the bed rooms there will be entire new furnishings. The European plan is entirely new to .lma. The hotels of this city in the past have been run on the Ameri can plan alone. The European plan is gaining such popularity in the cities am! throughout the whole country that many of the largest and most popular ones have adopted it. There will be one regular meal ser ved at noon while breakfast and sup per will be entirely European. Though this feature has never been tried here i. is expected that it will nrove exceedingly popular. During the summer Mr. Pulfrey expects to install a steam heating plan which will also add much to the comforts of the. guests. Mr. Pul frey is the pioneer hotel man of Gra tiot county, and has been loeated'h.ere for thirty-eight, years, lie ' has hn4. consldcraliTe experiencelii the hotel business, having been proprietor of some of the leading hotels of the state. The reopening of the Arcada will give Alma another first class hotel. RESOLUTIONS.

Lecture Course The booking of the lecture course was completed last week and as in. t1L. caon past there will again be .six numbers upon the course. Last season was of a higher standard than that of any preceding but this year the talent secured is even better, ranking with the best upon the Am erican lyceum platform. Since the , beginning ot ; Course each the Alma Lyceum uccccding year has ! ited and demanded the best. For I next season the best has been se- j cured and already there is a large demand for seat reservations. The plan of reserving the seats this ear will be the same as that of last year. At the last number of the course in February, cards were dis tributed among the audience. On these advance subscription cards there is a place to sign up for the number of tickets wanted. By put ting a one cent stamp on the card and dropping it in a mail box the card will be carried to Prof. J. T. Ewing and the number of seats de sired will be saved for the sender. I Ine reservations w ! , ... .-t:.. . will be made in the ioiuei in i ne 1 1 i i i i; of the cards. At the rate the cards have been com ing in, it i likely there will not be eats enough to supply the demand. Because of this the committee deci ded t.i reserve all seats this year and hold none for box office sales. The price of the tickets for the season is $1.50 and the reserved seat ten cents each number. There will be two drawings for the seats, one opening October i:th, and the other between tlie third and fourth numbers. Two lectures are booked, one by Dr. S. l'arkes Cadman of New York and the oilier by Thomas Brooks Fletcher. Besides being the highest paid pastor in the world, Dr. Cad man is the peer of all upon the lec ture platform. Thomas Brooks Fletcher is the type ot electrical speakers and no man of recent years has achieved more brilliant success. Convincing, dramatic, original, Mr. Fletcher holds his audience as no speaker has done since the days of Beecher, Phillips and Grady. A real treat is in store for the lec ture patrons in the engagement of the Ben Greet players. For years this company under the wonderful management of Ben Greet has toured me country from ocean to ocean. The company's remarkable interpre tations of the English dramas have made them in demand in England and several tours have been made in foreign countries. It is hard to say which of the three musical numbers is the star, for every one of them ranjc with highest that are put on by the Red path Bureau. Evelyn Bargelt is to appear with a musical company. Miss Bargelt is an artist, not of the chalk talk variety but one whose productions are of meritous quality. With her crayons of different colors, Miss Bargelt produces drawings be fore her audiences which appear as beautiful paintings while her humor ous drawings are as funny as the comic sections of the funny papers. Besides, Miss Bargelt, there is in. the company a pianist, baritone, and violinist. The Aida Quartette is well known musical organization. With the young ladies, there is C Pol Plancon, a noted baritone sing er of wonderful dramatic ability. The quartette have worked with, such noted singers as Madame Schu-mann-Heinck. The other musical number of the course is the appear ence of Alfred Hiles Bergen and The Leon Marx Trio. Mr. Bergen'. career is the meteoric of all Ameri can ingers. His high baritone voice with a range of ncaly three octave? has never failed to capture his audi ence. The name of Leon Marx i itself a guarantee of an exceptional number. For ten years, Mr. Marx appeared with the Theodore Thomas Orchestra a greater part of the tim being the orchestra's violin soloist. The lecture course for next year is a bril,ia,;t V'AA' fcumT talc,U That the Redpath-Slay- t1 A J .A . , , . able to obtain such talent because of , . , . 'he meritous patronage she gives.
