Committees have been appointed: in every county in state for the purpose of promoting the The aching exposition and the grand op- it offers are unprecedented in the itorrof our nation.

State pride not pBfrthatwe shall not be behind onr sister states tat that we shall strive to excel them hi the celJtncy of our exhibits, all along the of Industry in which women of Michigan are en- with this object in view we appeal to the women of the county to interest themselves in the work they have undertaken in order-that we may unite with our Bister counties in making Mithijran's exhibit in everyway creditable to the women of the state. We want to know what the women of our county have done, what they can do, and what they will do. We want to hear from the home, the farm, the schools, the office, the studio, the factory, and from the associations and organitaUcras of women, and we invite correspondence with women throughout the county who contemplate the preparation of exhibits, or who are otherwise interested in the movement we hava been appointed to forward. MBS. FRANK W.

DICKEY, Chairman, MBS. NORRIS J. FBINK. Mich. The supreme court this morning handed down an opinion sustaining the local option election in Eaton county, ana the of mandamus to.

compel the common council of Charlotte to approve the liquor bond of Henry Friesner, notwithstanding the county had voted, waa denied. Several Irregularities were claimed In the calling of, mud the conducting of, the election, but the court holds them immaterial. It also says, with reference to the insufficiency of the petitions, that It was wholly within the province of the board of supervisors to determine as to that, and having acted, and the people voted.it cannot now be reviewed-to the court. This case settles the question as toHhe legality of the law, and the Counties that voted on the question this spring go "dry" in dead Lansing Republican, May llth. The above is of interest to the people of Calhoun, as one of the grounds upon which Frieener'a petition was based waa the insufficiency of the petitions because of the absence of certified copies of the various poll lists of the general election in Eaton Nov.

4th, very grounds upon which the saloon interest of this county endeavored, at the- recent meeting bf our Board of Supervisors, through a minority report by the two Democratic members of-the committee to examine the petitions, to have the petitions rejected and no order issued for an election. The decision, which is a virual declaration upon the ality of the local option law, will have the effect to thoroughly allay the fears (or hopes) of all who have anticipated that the Supreme Court would decide the law, School Wooers.

In order to dispose of the cases taken under advisement JudM Miner was forced to work nearly all of last night and will continue the heavy labor today. Few courts have such an enormous amount Of olvfl business to dispose of and the exertion is wear- Ing on the Judge. Now that we have a bi-ohlorlde of gold cure institute well established right here In our own county (In Albion), the following, from a recent issue of the Battle Creek Moon, is especially pertinent: livery little while the county pays fifty or one hundred dollars to Bend some chronic drunk to Detroit or Ionia for front 80 to 90 days and when the parties sent up get ont they start on the same course again sooner or latter the same thing is gone through with again. Why would it not be much better to pay a little more and send such. persons to some bi-chloride of gold Institute and get them cured of the liquor habit.

Wm. J. Francisco, that Mr. F. was accldently killed the evening before near his home in Chicago Lawn, a suburb of Chicago, 111.

No particulars were known until the arrival of the Chicago morning papers, all of which had some mention of the sad occurence. The following from the News is the most extensive: W. J. Prandsoo, of Ceresco, was instantly killed, and E. Benedict, of Harvey, was fatally injured on the Grand Trunk railroad tracks at Chicago Lawn last evening.

The two men Were' Standing on the tracks, talking, when freight train Ho. 50 on the Grand Trunk catne from the west. Francisco and Benedick stepped off the track to allow the eastbound train to pass and struck by wreck- Ing train going west.

Culver, of Marshall has re cently been reminded of qn old war dent, which serves to 'show that money put at interest increases much more rapidly than the unthipking are aware of. Mr. Culyer served in the army for two years from the beginning of the war.

When his term was out he returned to bis home in Oswego, and his brother, Lucius took bis place in the army and remained until the close of the war. The brother sent his pay home every month for W. O. to invest for him. One sum of $20 was deposited in the Oswego Sayings Bank, which pays interest on time deposits; the certificate was mislaid pr lost, and the money was tlrely forgotten by the brothers.

Recently who still resides in Oswego, was quite sick, and one day his physician, who is president of the bank, he will hie. He has a wife and two cnildren at Harvey. Francisco was 88 years old and leaves wife and child. 8. D.

Glover, who was talking with the two men at the time of the accident, escaped by standing between the two trains as they passed. Mrs. Francisco and baby boy arrived Thursday evening with the remains, which were taken to the home of Deputy Sheriff Pascal Hughes, Mrs. being a sister of the deceased. The funeral was held this afternoon In the M.

E. church, Revs. J. W. Rawlmson and W.W.

Curry officiating, and burial was made In Oakridge. It is learned that after supper Tuesday evening Mr. Francisco' left his residence near the railroad to go over the tracks to get s6me supples for the next day; that he walked with the two men Benedict and Glover; that when part way oyer they bad to wait for a freight train to pans, and stood talking; that a second train backed down upon them with the fatal results stated; that there were no lights at the crossing, and that the railroad gates were not operated so as to warn them of the danger, It Js also reported that the man Glover, although not injured cannot be found, and that the coroner's Inqueatibas been adjourned one week hoping to secure his evidence. Mr. Francisco was born and reared in Newton, in this county; was for so me time a popular teacher in the schools of that town and Fredonia; was turnkey at the jail, under Sheriff Prentice, for about one year; and since in the cigar manufacturing business at Athens and Lansing, which latter place he left about six weeks ago and went to Chicago.

He waa a bright and accomplished gentleman, and made friends easily, so it is not strange there are many to mourn his untimely death. Sept. 3d, 1890, Mr. Francisco married Miss Mine M. Burgdorf, of this city, who with their little son are bereft of husband and father, and have the sympathy of everybody.
