The Bulmore school, Miss Luiu Nichols, teacher, and the Forest school, Fred Law cock teacher, both in Venice township, united and held a very enjoyable picnic In the grove near the Bulmore schoolhouse, Friday News came to this village Fri day, that Ray Ellis who is about 20 years of age and who resides with his parents in Venice township, Shiawassee county, about 12 miles west and south of this village, had attempted suicide the evening previous by taking poison, and in all probability would die In a few hours. The sory proved to be false, and the facts as learned from a reli able source are as follows: In the course of the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Ellis went to Lennon and while they were absent Ray who had not been feeling well, went to the cupboard and took a dose of medicine from a bottle which be supposed contained a remedy prepared for him, but soon after he took it he discovered his mistake, and that he had taken a mixture of medicines which contained laudanum. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, upon arriving home, found him in a terri ble condition and Mr. Ellis Immediately re turned to Lennon for a doctor, who arrived just in time to save the young man's life.

The last meeting of the club was held June 23, at Hickory Grove farm, the home of G, T. Mason. . : The gentlemen talked about the question, "What crops can farmers raise to help them out these hard times?" Mr.J Baldwin said the farmeis In his vicinity were raising beans quite extensively and that wheat could be sown after the bean crop was bar- vested. He spoke very favorably of 'this branch of farming and also suggested fruit culture. F. M. Shepard recommended growing rye and raspberries. J. W. Rose believes in general farming. He would raise five or ten acres of potatoes for a term of years In succession, thus taking one year with another a fair profit would be realized. He spoke of buckwheat and hay as other specialties. Under the head "How to grow old grace fully," Mrs. Rose read a selection, Mrs. Merrill and Miss Guilford, papers. Miss Bertha Shepard gave a recitation and Mrs. U. Mason read a selection. The after dinner exercises were opened with in strumental music by Myrtie Mason. The guests of the day were Mrs. Fitch, son and daughter, of Lawton. Mrs. Fitch is a slater of Mrs. J. W. Rose. The daughter, Miss Lottie, eleven years of age, recited in a very amusing way "The first responsibili ty" and Betty and the Bear." She also sang a couple of songs. Mr. Moxley responded to a invitation to give a sketch of his life. He said that on his father's side he was a lineal descendant of a soldier of the revolution; on his mother's side he was a lineal descendant of a soldier of the revolution. If it were pardonable for one to be proud of bis ancestors he might for this reason be pardoned for being proud of his. Of his father's family there are six sons and one daughter, all of whom are still living, their average age being something over seventy-one years. In con tinuation of the ladies' subject he said to have a graceful and peaceful' old age one should live a steady, industrious and tem perate life. He closed by saying "1 expect to step out soon, any time, any day. I am satisfied. I am ready to meet my King." The club adjourned to meet lnjour weeks at the residence of E. B. Simpson. S. G. PURE FOOD AT THE FAIR. Significance of the Award to Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. The award of highest World's Fair honors to Dr. Price's Cream Baking Towder pos sesses, at the present time, an unusual sig nificance. The rejection of the alum and amonla Powders, both by the World's Fair jury and physicians generally, illustrates impressively the progress of the movement to prevent adulteration and ecure better food. Experience amply justifies the discrimina tion shown by the judges of awards. Much light was throwu on the adulteration of baking powders when, some time since, the matter of pure food was before the Michi gan Legislature in a "bill for the present tion of the public health and to provide against fraud and adulteration in food, drink and drugs." "The leading medical authorities every where condemn the use of alum in baking Dowders." said the Lansing Journal at the time. "It deals in a direct manner with an evil that must be cut down," said the Chicago Tribune of the bill. Exposure has doomed the impure pow ders. The reasons which excluded tuem from the Fair should banish them from eyery kitchen. Following is a partial list of the con demned powders from the Sanitary Era:" "Kenton." "Calumet." Chicago YeaBt." "Orant'a Don Bon." Hotel." "Forest City. "Silver Star," "Monarch," "Rocket," "Home," "Perfection," "Unrivaled," "Town Talk," "Loyal." "Snow Ball,' "Climax," "Western Prince," "Crown," "White Cross," "Fos Fon, imperial." In addition to the above list there is a multitude of brand sold with a prize. It is safe to reject all baking powders sold with a prize, as the test show they are composed largely of alum and cost but a few cents per pound. Also refuse any baking powder sold at twenty-five cents a pound or less; it is sure to contain alum. At the Columbian World's Fair Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder responded to the most exacting test The award was conferred after analysis by the Chief Chemist of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture had proven that Dr. Price's was immeasurably superior in leavening power, unapproachable In rmritv and beyond comparison in whole some qualities. Its bestowal distln gulsbes Dr. Price's as preeminently the first of the baking powders in actual merit Surely nothing but their cheap ness could Induce the publlo to expert ment with questionable powders at risk of health or comfort, when the facts prove the have a perfect pure and reliable pow. der in Dr. Price's.

Gov't Report . mm OWOSSO'S CELEBRATION. The Y. M. C. A. Sports and Games a Great Success. The absurdity of any person living in Shiawassee county going out of the county to celebrate was shown by the success of the celebration held in this city Tuesday, under the direction of the O. B. M. A. and Y. M. C. A. which was not loaded with the usual Inconveniences of a fourth of July celebra tion, and yet everybody had a pleasant day. In the forenoon the singles of the tennis tournament were played but the finals not reached. After dinner 2000 citizens, their wives and children were out to see the races and the ball game. Under charge of U. A. Cossitt and L. A. Burhans the two mile race was started with Pearl Hathaway, Ted Finch, Wm. Gibson, Chas. Lahman and Channing Stanhope as contestants. The race was won on heats, which resulted as follows: First heat Hathaway 1st, Gibson 2nd, Lahman Sd, Stanhope 4th, Finch 5th. 1 Second heat: Finch 1st, Gibson 2nd, Lah man 3d, Hathaway 4th. Third heat: Hathaway 1st, Gibson 2nd Lahman Sd. Prizes: Hathaway 1st, Gib son 2nd, Lahman 3d. The horse races, which were a very inter esting feature, were under the direction of George Carpenter, and were finished as fol lows: FREE FOR ALL. Jennie B., J. J. Davis, Cy.

These races are a start er for the matinees to be held during the next two months and there will undoubtedly be some fast time and good sport in them. The bail game drew the attention of the entire crowd, and was an excellent game On account of the labor trouble the Jackson mechanics team wer.e unable to come, but the Detroit High School anine, one of the best amateur clubs in the state was secured. The features of the game were the fine field work of the Detroit team and the pitching of Sackrider. Gibson's three base hit bring ing in the only run made by the home team was loudly applauded. Considering the fact that the Owosso boys had had no team practice their work was excellent. The summary is'as follows: owosso DETROIT.

The day's sports except the tennisgames was concluded at 5:30 and without cost and with no "tired feelings" on the 5th, the people of the city started what we hope will become a custom in theillne of "celebration. A horse kicked U. S. Shafer, of the Free- myer House, Miaaieourg, n. 1., onine knee, which laid him up In bed and caused the knee joint to become stiff. A friend recommended him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which he did and in two days was able to be around. Mr. Shafer has recommended It to many others and says it Is excellent for any kind of a bruise or sprain. This same remedy Is also famous far its cures of rheumatism.

Fourth at the Hill,,,; The German Arbeiter society " celebrated the fourth in the usual manner at Gute's hill with games, sports, dancing, concert and fireworks. Fully five hundred people were present in the evening and It was a jolly crowd. Our Population. The enumerators finished their work on Saturday and on Monday the same was reviewed by the aldermeu. The figures are but little short of what The Times expect ed they would be. By wards the population is as follows: First ward 2293 Second ward 2009 Third ward 1.... 1271 Fourth ward 2707,. Total 8279 This shows an Increase since 1890 of 1735 which is certainly a good growth. It was from the first apparent to every one that Owosso did not have 11,000 people and such a statement should never have been pub lished.' .

Tho strike seems to be spreading and the outlook' for any settlement is gloomy. The situation in Chicago is on tho very verge of bloodshed, and a con flict can be looked for at almost any moment. Trains are running very ir regularly on most all Michigan roads. All the main buildings of the World's Fair, except the horticultural building, the women's building, the art palace, the machinery hall and the United States government building, were almost entirely burned last night. They were the property of the Columbian Ex position Salvage Company, and had been purchased from the exposition company for about $90,000. Dr. F. M.
