MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 30.—Ten per- 

10ns dead, 150 injured and property 

loss of over $1,000,000, is the toll 

placed upon the worst storm that has 

swept the Gulf states in years. 

GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 30.— A 

wireles? message received hero this 

morning from New Orleans stated 

that, at 2 o'clock the water In the 

streets was receding and that the 

stage of the river was also going 

down. This message reported the 

number of dead in New Orleans as 

five. 

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 30.— 

A special bulletin issued by the 

weather bureau says the great storm 

raging on the Gulf will advance 

northward, but will rapidly lose its 

intensity after leaving the coast. 

MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 30.—Railroad 

and wire companies went to woit today 

to establish early communication 

with the Gulf coast cities hit last 

night by a West Indian hurricane. 

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 30. — 

The West Indian hurricane was centered 

over the interior of Mississippi 

this morning, but it. had greatly diminished 

in force. 

The storm, however, is not over, as 

It maintains considerable intensity 

and is causing general rains throughout 

the south Atlantic and east gulf 

states and Tennessee. During the 

night It caused winds of hurricane 

force on the middle gulf coast and 

the weather bureau ordered a continuance 

of storm warnings along the 

gulf coast from Mobile to Cedar Keys, 

Fla., and on the Atlantic coast from 

Jacksonville to Wilmington, N. O. 

Indications are that the storm Is 

moving in a northeasterly direction 

and that it will cause rains during the 

next 36 hours everywhere east of the 

Mississippi river except In the upper 

lake region. 

From New Orleans, which bore the 

brunt of the storm, had come early 

today only meager news by wireless. 

Ten persons reported dead, 150 injured 

and property loss put at more 

than $1,000,000, was the storm's toll 

there, a relayed radiogram said. The 

message added that ample warning of 

the storm's approach had prevented 

NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 30.— 

This city bore the brunt of the West 

Indian hurricane which struck the 

coast last night. The gale approached 

a velocity of 100 miles an hour. 

Streets are filled with debris and 

broken glass. 

damage to shipping. 

• 

French Market Hit. 

A ferocious gale lifted the roofs 

from many New Orleans buildings and 

partly demolished the old French 

market, one of the show places of 

the city. At times the wind reached 

a velocity of 130 miles an hour and 

streets were filled with flying debris. 

Residents crowded into hotels and 

downtown office buildings for protection. 

Little news has come in from other 

points. One report said that Biloxi. 

Gulfport and Pa^cagoula suffered 

heavily.. Little damage was done in 

Mobile. A relief train was to leave 

here today for towns down the coast. 

Wireless is Silent. 

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 30.— 

The navy wireless station at Arlington 

has been unable to communicate 

with the wireless station at the New 

Orleans navy yard since 6 o'clock yesterday 

morning, and officials fear that 

the tropical storm damaged the raxiio 

plant there. New efforts were made to 

reach the New Orleans station by 

radio last night and early today without 

success. 

MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 30.—The wind 

here during the night averaged from 

25 to 60 miles. Mobile river early today 

was two and a half blocks up in 

the wholesale district. One fishing 

smack is missing. A young man going 

to work early this morning was 

electrocuted when he stepped on a

NEW YORK, Sept. 80.—Complete 

details of the method of marketing 

the $500,000,000 Joint Anglo-French 

five-year bonds, probably will be announced 

late today by J. P. Morgan 

ft Co. 

Representatives of New York banks, 

trust companies and other financial 

houses continued today their conferences 

looking to the adoption of a 

definite program which would place 

the issues before the country within 

the next fortnight. Several conferences 

among American bankers and 

members of the Anglo-French commission 

returning from Chicago, were 

also on the day's calendar. 

Must Solve Questions. 

Here are some of the questions 

of the general offensive movement on 

the western front, the French have 

captured an important defensive work 

of the Germans south of Ripont, it 

was officially announced by the war 

offico today. 

In the Champagne French troops 

have gained a footing at various points 

on the German second line of defense, 

the official statement adds. 

rhlch the committee in charge of 

arrangements sought to solve at their 

tonferenee today: 

How much must an Individual 

subscribe to become eligible for 

admission to the syndicate which 

will get the bonds at 00? 

What terms shall be offered to 

the man who wants to buy the 

so-called baby bonds—tfiose In 

denominations less than $1,000— 

by installments? « 

When shall the bonds be placed 

on the market? 

Indications were that the life of 

the underwriting syndicate would not 

extend beyond 60 or 90 days, and 

that the bonds would be listed—probably 

free of charge—on the New 

York stock exchange very shortly. It 

was also thought that the bonds 

mifrht be offered for sale within 10 

jiays. In advance of official announcement, 

however, reports as to the 

minimum amount to be subscribed by 

individuals entering the syndicate and 

the installment terms were pure surmise. 

Arrange for Payments. 

One report was that the minimum 

amount would be fixed at |250,000; 

another fixed the amount at $1,000,- 

000. There was no confirmation of 

either these reports nor of the report 

that Installment subscribers would be 

expected to pay one-fourth down and 

the remaining three-fourths by January

JUDGE WEIMER EXCUSES JURY 

UNTIL MONDAY BECAUSE OF 

LACK OF WORK. 

With only one half week's work 

to their credit, the Jurymen drawn 

for the September term of circuit 

court have returned to their respective 

homes and will not return until 

Monday morning at >9:80 o'clock. 

Tomorrow Judge Welmer will occupy 

himself with chancery matters 

and Saturday morning he will hear 

the customary batch of divorce 

cases. 

The temporary dismissal of the 

Jurymen was necessitated because of 

the Inability of Judge Welmer to 

find any case that now Is ready for 

trial. It had been expected that the 

liquor cases would demand the attentions 

of the court for more than 

a week. When five respondents entered 

pleas of guilty, the work listed 

for the week was more than cut In 

two. Yesterday the judge endeavored 

to line up some matters for trial today 

and tomorrow, but found It Impossible 

to get attorneys, witnesses 

and litigants of any case together. 

Falling In his attempt to keep the 

jury grinding, Judge Welmef last 

evening excused all jurors not sitting 

in the Stozocki case. The remainder 

he dismissed this morning after the 

case had been completed.

"They shall Say there is peace, 

where there is no peace"—When 

the Hague conference was in session,

wars were going on, people "were 

starving and there was much 

blood shed. 

"There shall be false prophets" 

—Here "Bob" Johnson referred to 

Pastor Russell and Mary Baker 

Eddy. 

"Refuse profane and old wives' 

fables"—I know of no one who 

could answer to the name of old 

wives' fables better than a woman 

who has been married, divorced 

and remarried several times. 

"In the last day there shall be 

scoffers"—And there—Just think 

about It. 

"People shall be boastful"— 

"Can you think of people of that 

nature whom you yourself know— 

are any of them boastful?" 

"In those last days, children 

shall be disobedient to their parents"—Think 

over the children 

you know. Are they obedient? 

"People will be unthankful, unholy 

and without natural affection"—"Are 

they? Just think 

about it." 

Take ye heed, watch and pray, 

for ye know not when the time Is. 

Ye know not when the son of man 

cometh. He will come suddenly 

In the twinkling of an eye. Watch! 

The end of the world—and the second 

coming of Jesus Christ, prophesied 

385 times In the Old Testament— 

and 318 times In the New Testament, 

are near. 

Scriptures say so and the signs of

MACHINES MEET HEAD- 

ON NEAR HILLSDALE 

WITH AWFUL RE- 

SULTS. 


JACKSON, Mich., Sept. 30. 

—Mrs. Marvin Rhodes of Addison, 

Mich., was killed instantly; 

Leslie Feuer of Niagara

(Special to The Telegraph-Press.) 

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The Rev. 

Dr. John Wesley Hill, widely known 

as a lecturer on politics and peace, 

was yesterday named as a defendant 

In a suit for $100,000 for alleged 

baech of promise to marry, brought 

by Lucille Covington of this city, also 

a lecturer upon economics and other 

topics. Dr. Hill declined to discuss 

the suit. 

Dr. Hill was formerly pastor of the 

Metropolitan temple here and also 

held pastorates In the west. He was 

chaplain of the Republican national 

convention in Chicago In 1908 and 

1912. 

Christ and told of the conversation 

following the ascension Into heaven 

In a cloud and said that the Bible 

promised that He had gone In a cloud 

so he would return in a cloud. 

The evangelist explained many 

parts of the Bible in such a clear way 

that even the most doubting could 

not but believe. 

"I respect any man, who, after 

careful study of the blessed book, has 

a different opinion than mine," said 

the speaker at one point. "But notice 

I say after careful study. The 

man who forms an opinion of the 

scripture without careful study may 

make mistakes." 

He declared this old earth Is going 

to hell and going fast and people 

scriptural predictions, according to 

must repent of their sins and prepare 

for the second coming of the 

"Bob" Johnson. 

Lord. 

All those points were brought out Mr. Johnson paid high tribute to 

last night by Evangelist "Bob" John- the Jews and the place they hold In 

son In one of the most powerful ser- | the Bible, saying "I love the Jews, M 

mons he has delivered during the 

evangelistic campaign, which is 

sweeping the city and the country. 

He talked to more t v han 3,500 people 

last night. 

Sure to Be True. 

He warned the people with a spirit 

which seemed to come fitam another 

sphere of the dangers they were taking 

by not confessing Christ, by not 

being prepared for the second coming 

of the Lord, which will come to pass 

just as sure as the other prophesies 

have come to pass. 

During the hour which he talked 

the vast audience listened with rapt 

atentlon. During the prayer when 

he asked how many wanted special 

prayers offered for them, scores of 

hands were raised and after the close 

of the meeting hundreds of people 

went to get from his little cards 

bearing the words, "Where are you 

going to spend eternity?" and "Jesus 

Loves Us.". They promised to take 

these cards to their homes, to their 

places of business and to put them 

where they could be seen by thousands 

in the city, and where they 

would make people think. 

He quoted from the scriptures, giving 

the chapter and verse each time 

so that any who doubted could know 

whereof he spoke. He told of the 

promises made by Christ Himself 

when He was on earth, about his second 

coming. 

Quotes Bible. 

"Let not your heart be troubled," 

said Mr. Johnson quoting the Raster's 

words, "If I go. and prepare a 

place for you. I will come again." 

He then described the ascension of 

and then telling how the Lord had 

kept His promise to punish the nations 

which prosecute the Jews—His 

people. He then told In graphic terms 

what had happened to Russia In the 

Jap-Russian war, on account of the 

things Russia has done to the Jews.

German Retreat Becomes Riot 

When African Force Appeared 

Says French Survivor of War 


PARIS, Sept. 30.—"It was by no 

means easy work," said one of the 

wounded at the Grand Palais hospital, 

In describing the battle of 

Champagne, Saturday. "Never have 

we seen anything like the barbed wire 

entanglements. Our shells plowed up 

thousands of stakes but there was 

an Innumerable number left which 

we had to pull up under the enemy's 

fire. The wire was so thick It was 

extremely hard to cut. In many places 

our attacking columns came against 

chevaux de frise, behind which the 

Germans lurked. We pelted them 

with bombs as hard as we could and 

the sappers who came behind us did 

the rest. 

"The machine guns which stormed 

at us—that's why so many of us were 

hit In the legs, were soon pu( oyt pf 

business. Then our cavalry turned 

up. They had gone so long without 

a chance to fight on horseback that 

they were keen to get Into It. It was 

a fine dash and the Germans bolted 

on all sides. What they left behind 

in the way of material, arms, effects 

and equipment was unimaginable. 

Their flight turned Into a panic when 

they saw our African contingents 

after them. The Africans certainly 

cut them up frightfully with the bayonet." 

An officer with a bayonet wound In 

one arm spoke enthusiastically of the 

methodical and orderly manner in 

which the French Infantry fought. 

When the rally sounded, all the 

men formed In their proper sections. 

"They are all veterans now," said 

the officer, "and know their profession 

thoroughly. The Germans felt 

tha yhulwind of this grand army." 

IN 

contest with valuable prizes for the 

winner. 

The state of Michigan, anxious to 

help matters along, has consented to 

the establishment of a model camp 

at Recreation park during the wild 

west exhibition and the visitors will 

be given an opportunity to see Just 

how the soldiers are treated while 

In actual service. Another big educational 

feature will be the display 

of fire arms. Every known kind of 

gun arms, large and small, will be on 

exhibition. 

There will be cowboys and Indlons 

without number, who will join with 

the troops in putting on the wild 

west exhibition. The days of the 

early pioneers, the trials and tribulations 

encountered by them In building 

up the wild spots of America, will 

be vividly portrayed. 

The wild west feature of Prosperity 

week will be one of the best things 

presented. Every detail has been carefully 

worked out and those who attend 

will be impressed with the 

grandeur of the performance. 

The work of decorating the downtown 

section of the city is going on 

at a rapid rate. Professional decorators 

are working night and day 

to get the Armory and K. of P. castle 

ready for the opening day. The 6,000

DESPERATE COUNTER-AT- 

TACK FOR POSSESSION 

. LENS EXPECTED. 

LONDON, Sept. 80.—The great 

struggle on the western front has 

now resolved Itself clearly Into a 

battle for Lens, In Ras de Calais, 

nine miles northeast of Arras. The 

capture of this town with Its radiating 

railways, would bring Into the 

foreground the possibility of retaking 

Lille. 

Both north and south of Lens, 

the allies hold high ground dominating 

the town—the British on Hill 

No. 70, the French on Hill No. 140, 

the high crest being Souchez and 

Vlmy. 

Counter Attack Today. 

The official report from Paris last 

night said merely this , crest had been 

reached, so that presumably a terrific 

counter-attack is raging there today, 

with final mastery of this important 

position at stake. Rain, fog 

and soggy ground have been hampering 

both the contenders and limiting 

the activities of air craft. A few 

days of clear dry weather might 

have a marked bearing on developments. 

The offensive of the allies thus 

far has been confined to stretches 

of the front amounting to less than 

30 miles In all. The general belief In 

England Is that the attacks are only 

the prelude to what Is coming. At 

any rate, the public would be disappointed 

if the movement were not 

sustained. 

There is the usual speculation as 

to the shifting of the German forces 

from the east to the west, although 

anything like reliable information is 

lacking. As against the report that 

some Prussian guards have been 

hurried west, there are rumors that 

Field Marshal von HIndenburg, still 

bent on taking Dvlnsk, has been reinforced 

heavily. 

Hill, president of the state league 

and prominent ban.ker of Port Huron.

It is the plan of the local committee 

to have a number of addresses 

by promnlent speakers both from 

Michigan and other states. All talks 

loan associations, and all persons Interested 

in associations are Invited to 

attend these meetings. 

Thursday night a big banquet will 

be given the visitors by the local organizations 

In the Park-American 

hotel. The cohimittee on entertainment, 

which will have charge of the 

banquet, consists of Charles S. Campbell, 

Marinus Schrier and Ed. M. 

Kenned}'. Friday morning will be 

devoted to business sessions, and in 

the afternoon the visitors will be 

taken on an automobile tour of the 

city. The committee on arrangements 

for the auto ride consists of George 

P. Hopkins, W. W. Brown, Sirk Wykkel 

and Dennis F. Murray. 

There are 65 loan associations In 

the state, of which about 40 are represented

the citizens to keep saying the words 

over and over and then repeat again

by any live, awake composer of

—The NOT clean street contest is 

almost closed, as are the streets. The 

crudest blow of all was when a citizen 

reported that he could not find

clean. Those sending in replies should 

remember that streets outside the cltjr 

do not count. Try and confine yourself

fact that he has never heard in all his 

experience of a person injuring himjself

SENSATIONAL CUT IN PIANO PRICES 

AT GRINNELL BROS. GREAT SALE 

This Week Opons GrinneU Bros.' 12th Annual Sale of Summer 

Resort Pianos and Player Pianos—Really 

Remarkable Bargains Offered. 

Grinnel Bros. Piano warerooms this week look like a large department 

store during a Saturday crush; so great Is the demand for the Pianos and 

Player-Pianos, which are offered for sale. 

It Is a well known fact that the i)iano business of Grlnnell Bros. Is 

growing every year with rapid strides, and that every year they rent more 

Instruments to summer resorters throughout Michigan and Ontario. These 

rental Instruments are returned to them in the fall and must be sold at 

once to accommodate the new fall and winter stock. Though many of 

these beautiful instruments have had scarcely any use during the summer 

and are in every sense as good as new, yet every cent of rent that has been 

received on them is deducted from their regular price. The result is some 

of the rarest bargains ever offered the music loving public. 

It is the rule that private owners consider that almost the original price 

Is a reasonable sum to ask for their pianos which may have stood idle most 

of the time in their homes. They argue that their value Is not Impaired owing 

to their non-use. Imagine, then, buying a piano, only a few months 

from the factory, at a reduction of $50, $75, etc. This Is made possible by 

Grlnnell Bros, through the fact that some resorter has paid that sum in 

rent during the past summer. And often the Instrument so reduced In 

price has had practically no use, except for a comparatively few evenings 

entertainment. 

This is the reason underlying the great cut In prices of summer resort 

pianos at Grlnnell Bros. 

Summer resorters usually demand the newest and best pianos. They 

do not want to use the- Instrument often- but. for their receptions. Informal 

gatherings, dances, etc., they need thersweet tone and easy touch of the 

best made instruments. This is the reason that so many of the high grade 

Pianos are In Grlnnell Bros, sale stock this week. Such well known makes 

as these are seen: STEINWAY, KNABE, GRINNELL BROS, (own make), 

SOHMER, VOSE, STERLING, HUNTINGTON, MENDELSSOHN, SMITH & 

BARNES, SHONINGER, etc.. etc. 

Grlnnell Bros., who have 24 stores and many more selling agencies 

scattered through Michigan and Ontario, buy Pianos from the largest Piano 

factories In the world In train load lots and naturally at the lowest prices 

possible. Any other piano house, operating a single store, must buy a few 

Instruments at a time, and. In consequence Is obliged to pay much more per 

piano. Thus, a stated reduction at Grlnnell Bros., must mean a price of many 

dollars less than an equal reduction from the regular price asked by any. 

other music house. 

To the large sale stock of Sumer Resort Pianos are added a number of 

used, exchanged and sample Pianos that have been thoroughly overhauled 

by factory experts and put in splendid condition. On these the reductions 

are often as great as $150. $200, $225 and even more. 

Think of buying a $400 Grlnnell Bros, (own make) Piano at $290; a 

$500 Stelnway at $272; a $550 Knabe at $310; a $400 Vose at $265; a $350 

Smith & Barnes at $227; a $500 Sohmer at $270; a $350 Behr Bros, at $155; 

a $300 Clough & Warren at$162; others at $110, $128, etc., etc. 

Every Piano on the sales floor is plainly marked with a red tag, giving 

the regular price, the amount of rent received and the special sale price. 

There 1^ no room for doubt or argument; the figures are plainly given. 

Next in importance to the price of ^ Piano; and often of even more importance 

to the prospective buyer, is the question of terms. A family with 

a stated income may not be able to make a large Initial payment but may be 

able to make regular periodical payments quite easily. To meet the demand 

Grlnnell Bros, have cut the payment terms to meet the requirements of every 

possible buyer. Under the Grlnnell Easy Payment plan a very few dollars 

places one of these splendid instruments in a muslc-lovlng home; the balance 

can be met in small payments arranged to suit the buyer's convenience. 

As a matter of fact, Grlnnell Bros, will not allow the question of terms to 

deprive a home of a much desired Piano. 

Then, just as Important, is the question of the buyer's ultimate satisfaction. 

To Insure this, absolutely, Grlnnell Bros, offer a ( Year's Free Exchange 

Trial with every instrument sold. This means that'the Piano which 

does not give entire satisfaction can be exchanged any time within 12 months 

for any other new Instrument in Grlnnell Bros.' stock; and every cent paid 

will be credited on the new Piano purchased. Thus, you cannot lose a cent 

on the transaction and you are certain to be perfectly satisfied. This plan 

leaves you another of Grlnnell Bros.' enthusiastically satisfied patrons, of 

whom there are thousands In Michigan and Ontario. 

Hundreds of beautiful Pianos and Player-Pianos will be sold, and those 

who buy will be glad that their attention was drawn to this great sales 

event. Visit TODAY Grlnnell Bros, warerooms at 107 E. Main St.

EARLE HOME. 

3ome Burglar Familiar With 

Home of Edward Williams 

Fobs House. 

• As Mr. and Mrs. Edward Williams 

slept in a room directly above, a 

last evening and stole between $26 

and $30 from a buffet in the dining 

room. They live at 1304 Washington 

avenue. 

Mr. and Mrs- Williams retired 

shortly after 9 o'clock last evening 

after Mr. Williams had removed the 

money from his clothing and placed 

it in the buffet drawer, as was his 

custom. He moved a dining . room 

chair in front of the buffet and upon 

this hung his vest. 

A young daughter was spending 

the evening with friends so when 

Mr. Williams retired he intentionally 

neglected to lock the front door. 

When the daughter returned home 

at 10 o'clock she noticed that the 

draw which customarily contained 

her father's money, was slightly 

opened, but did not investigate. 

Shortly after arising this morning 

Mr. Williams detected his loss and 

•notified the sheriff's department. 

Sheriff Chapman and Deputy Thayer 

responding to the call. Both officers 

are convinced that the money 

was taken by some person Intimately 

familiar with the interior of the 

house. That he disturbed no other 

drawer or article in the room is accepted 

by the officers as proof that 

he was informed of the hiding place 

of the money. 

Mr. Williams is employed as a 

carpenter at the car barns.

Earle, who resides four miles north of 

Augusta, Tuesday afternoon. Deputy 

Thayer spent nearly the entire day 

on the^case Wednesday, and when he 

returned to the city last night, announced. 

that he had received clues 

which he believed would warrant an 

arest very shortly. 

The theft was made in the afternoon. 

* Earle and his wife had gone 

to Battle Creek for the day and their 

daughter was at the rural school 

building, where s-.he is employed as 

teacher. During the time the house 

was unguarded, some person gained 

entrance by breaking out a window. 

He proceeded to the pantry, where ho 

secured a key that had been concealed 

underneath an overturned 

saucer. With this key he unlocked 

a drawer in the sewing machine and 

removed $4 5 in bills and silver. Nothing 

else in the house was disturbed. 

Sheriff Chapman was notified and 

Deputy Thayer began an immediate 

investigation. 

"The money certainly was taken by 

some person familiar with the Earle 

home," said Deputy Thayer this 

morning. 

Sorrow Is heaven's school, where we 

learn the alphabet of love.

WHAT HAPPENED TO O'SHAUGH 

NESSY. 

The indicting fact that the administration at Washington 

has dropped Nelson 0'Shaughnessy from the diplomatic corps 

has not attracted the attention it deserves. It deserves attention 

because it eloquently testifies to the unreasoning unfairness 

which creeps into the government's relationship with its 

faithful servants when u politics" become the predominating 

factor in the consular service. It deserves attention because it 

is an exhibit which clearly indicates the logical fruits of such a 

diplomatic policy as the late Mr. Bryan inaugurated when he 

Bent the now-deposed Sullivan—an ex-Tammany lawyer—to 

Santo Domingo with instructions to find all the jobs possible 

''for deserving Democrats. n 

Nelson O'Shaughnessy served as charge d'affairs in Mexico 

City under the most difficult circumstances and he proved 

himself one of ablest and most courageous and most tactful 

diplomats who has served under the American flag. When he 

finally withdrew from his perilous post—amid the unanimous 

acclaim of every foreign resident in the Mexican capital he 

was praised by an unanimous American press as worthy of the 

most striking recognition which Washington could bestow. 

The 4 'recognition'' has come. 

r »hat it has been "striking" 

could not be denied. But that it has not been of the type 

which O'Shaughnessy richly earned and which the country 

wanted him to receive is beyond possibility of dispute. TVe 

have many excellent men in our foreign service; but we have 

no such wealth of genius in this direction that we can afford 

to throw out the O'Shaughnessy and bring in substitutes whose 

primary claim for recognition rest solely in their u deserving 

partisanship." 

The president needs expert Mexican advisors—Heaven 

knows.. He needs advisors who can speak from long experience 

with the Mexican people. Instead of "dropping" such 

men as Nelson O'Shaughnessy and Henry Lane Wilson, if he 

were to call them to his consultation table he would be in less 

tempestuous embarrassment and in less uncertain uneasiness 

than he is as a result of his experiment with tyros and amateurs.

BLOEDSINNING. 

Mobolize the obfuscated etymologists! 

Bring in the spoffish seers. 

We have been called "Bloedsinning Yankees"—and the 

oracles of state are consumed with anxiety lest we have been 

insulted and don't know it! 

'Twas in von Papen's letter (von Papen is German military 

attache at Washington)—one of the letters which submerged 

Archibald in a sea of trouble. 

"Bloedsinning Yankees"—von Papen called us in his interrupted 

reports to the Fatherland; and State Counsellor Polk 

has sent the interpreters and translators a-scurrying to let us 

know the worst. 

If it is as bad as it sounds, von Papen must—well, there 

ere limits to our pastric patience! 

"Bloedsinning Yankees!" Ugh! We are told—and by 

hearsay only are we able to report—we are told that "bloed- 

Binning" may mean "idiotic" or it may mean "imbecile" or it 

Way just mean "empty headed." 

Let the incisors quickly wield their lingual scalpels! We 

would have the worst—and out with it! 

If we are insulted we want to know it—because there is 

no more pitiable object in the world than one who is insulted 

Btd doesn't know it. "Bloedsinning!" It is a bludgeon of a 

word! If it has been bred in onomatopoeia, we are quite positive 

that we don't like it! But these being stresssome times, 

we await leadership from Washington before we undertake to 

smile or frown.

MONEY AND THE MAN. 

Savings, not income, shows man's real worth. On this 

basis the people of the United States occupy an unenviable 

position in comparison with other nations. The financial 

sharps have figured it out that with wealth untald and an anannual 

income of thirty-five billion dollars, America ranks fifteenth 

in the proportion of population carrying savings banks 

accounts. 

And yet money is not the most important thing in life. 

Wealth improperly used is more of a menace than poverty. 

And it may be that in the very terms of which we today speak 

of wealth is to be found the secret of the lack of frugality and 

thrift. W speak with awe of the man worth hundreds of thou- 

Bands of dollars of the millionaires, and the little dollars the 

most of us feel down in our trousers pocket seems so infinitesimal 

that they are scarcely worth while. 

The nation needs to take another viewpoint. Value the 

man for what he can EARN AND SAVE and not for what ho 

tan ACCUMULATE through the efforts of others, or what he 

may hame inherited from a frugal parent's self-denials 

ôod luck. 

The very terms in which Americans speak of money, illustrates 

our perverted view of wealth. The american speaks 

uf wealth in terms of capital—a man is said to be worth $100,- 

JDOO, $1,000,000. The Englishman speaks of income—ten thoufcand 

a year. And the still more thrifty Frenchman, in talking 

jof money made means money saved.

THE LITTLE FORTUNE 

Being the Fourth Adventure of the Honeymoon 

Detectives 

'•Wait a moment, young woman," 

said Duvall sternly. "This 

gentleman is not a criminal. He 

is one of the best known bankers 

in New York. He did not steal 

your father's collection of coins. 

He bought it to pay his funeral 

expenses." 

"So the forged letter says'." 

exclaimed the girl angrily." Why 

do you bring It to me if it is 

forged? And If it is forged how 

does it happen that It agrees exactly 

with the story you now tell 

me?" 

"Because that part of the letter 

Is true." 

"Mon Dieu!" cried the girl, 

now very angry. "You say it is 

true. M. Hartmann says it is 

not true. He should know, 1 

think." 

"How?" asked Duvall quietly 

"Because he was my father's 

physician, and was with him 

when he delivered the coins to 

this man." She pointed an accusing 

finger at poor Morris. 

"Now go away and leave me. 

You have robbed a poor girl. It 

is enough, I should think, without 

torturing her with your lies." 

She flung herself, weeping, from 

the room. 

"My God!" exclaimed Mr. Morris, 

passing his hand nervously 

across his forehead. "This is terrible. 

Isn't there anything we 

can do?" 

"There Is one thing," said Duvall 

sternly, as he strode into the 

hall, "and that is arrest this man 

Hartmann and his companion at 

once." 

He went up to the clerk. 

"You have two gentlemen 

here," he said, "that arrived this 

afternoon. One of them is named 

Oratz, the other Hartmann. Are 

they in?" 

The clerk looked at his keyboard. 

"Their key is not here," he 

said. "I have not seen them descend. 

I am quite positive they 

are in their room. Shall I send 

up and find out?" 

"No." Duvall approached him 

closely. "I am a detective, and 

my companion here as well." He 

indicated M. Lefevre. "He is, in 

fact, the prefect of the police of 

Paris. These men Gratz and 

Hartmann we believe to be 

desperate criminals. For the sake 

of the reputation of your hotel, 

monsieur, it would be better for 

us to meet them in their rooms. 

A scene of shioting here in your 

front hall would not be to your 

liking." 

The clerk turned pale. 

"Go up at once, gentlemen, by 

all means," he gasped. ' "I myself 

will show you the way." 

He called one of the bell-boys 

to guard the desk and sprang up 

the old-fashioned stairs. 

The room of the two men was 

on the third floor. When the 

party had ascended the two 

flights the clerk paused upon the 

By ARNOLD FREDERICKS 

landing and pointed to a door 

in the front at the end of the hall. 

"There, gentlemen," he said; 

•No. 32." 

Duvall went up to the door and 

tried it. It was locked. He 

rapped sharply, but received no 

answer. 

Again he rapped, with the same 

result. 

"Have you a pass-key?" he 

asked the clerk. 

"In a moment, monsieur," cried 

the latter, and disappeared. 

He came back in a few moments 

with a bunch of keys on a 

large wire ring. With one of 

these he carefully opened the 

door. 

Duvall and the others stepped 

in. 

The moment they crossed the 

threshhold they voluntarily recoiled. 

The clerk, who brought 

up the rear, gave a cry of horror. 

It was close to six o'clock. The 

sun, however, was still some distance 

above the horizon, and the 

room was fairly light. 

On the floor, close to the farther 

wall ,lay the body of the man 

known on the steamer as Gunther 

and later as Gratz. He lay 

upon his face, as though he had 

been struck down from behind. 

A knife still projecting from between 

his shoulders showed the 

manner of his taking off. 

Duvall sprang forward and, 

lifting one of his wrists, felt for 

his pulse. The clerk, whitefaced 

and trembling, closed the 

door. 

"Too late," said Duvall, letting 

the man's arm fall to the floor. 

"He is dead, but not for long. 

How the other.fellow got out I 

cannot Imagine. It must have 

been while we were in the parlor 

talking to the maid." He turned 

to the clerk. "Did any one go 

out during that time?" 

"Yes—I—I—think so," the fellow 

stammered. "I did not particularly 

notice. I was busy with 

my accounts." 

"But you told us vhat the man 

Hartmann had not tvone out." 

"Oh! No, monsieui*; he did not 

go out. He was a large man with 

a heavy beard, and so crippled 

from rheumatism that he could 

scarcely walk. I am quite sure 

he did not go out." . 

Duvall went to the window, 

pulled up the shade ,and glanced 

eagerly across the street. Would 

Grace recognize Hartmann without 

his disguise, or would he 

give her the slip? He looked for 

her carefully, but she was not in 

sight. He concluded that she had 

In some way recognized the man 

and followed him. He turned 

again to the room, determined to 

search it thoroughly before calling 

In the poliqe. 

M. Lefevre was examining 

with curiosity some reddish marks 

on the wall just above the murdered 

man's head, "lie was 

writing something on the wall." 

he said. "Some message, that he 

did not live long enough to complete. 

He had dipped his finger 

in the blood from his wound and 

made the letters that way. Can 

you make them out?" 

The letters were very irregularly 

made, especially toward the 

end, as though the hand that 

traced them had grown rapidly 

weaker. 

"It appears to be 'Hartmann 

ist—' " read Duvall. "The last 

word he was unable to finish. 

What a pity he did not live long 

enough to complete it. It might 

have told us much that is important." 

"What do you make of this?" 

asked Mr. Morris, handing the 

detective a lump of what appeared 

to be putty, which he had 

taken from the table. 

Duvall looked at it, then smiled 

and threw it down. 

"Looks like what Is left of our 

friend Hartmann's hooked nose," 

he said. "He must have left In 

a hurry. I imagine they did not 

expect Vernon's body to be found 

so quickly. Our arrival must 

have surprised them. I suppose 

they got Into some quarrel over 

the division of the spoils, as criminals 

usually do, or couldn't agree 

upon Ihelr next move, and Hartmann 

settled the matter with a 

knife.' 

He examined the handle of the 

Weapon for a moment with keen 

Interest. "Of French make, I 

should say, by the looks of it," he 

remarked, touching the handle, 

then proceeded to an examination 

of the room. 

There was but one satchel In 

the room—a large traveling bag 

—and beside It a rug. Duvall 

examined the bag's contents 

quickly. 

It contained only some articles 

of clothing and other usual 

traveling paraphernalia, a hypodermic 

syringe in a case, some 

tablets of morphin in a bottle, 

and a note-book filled with medical 

notes and prescriptions, upon 

the front cover of which were Inscribed 

the words "Victor Relnhardt, 

Paris." 

The prefect riiade a note of 

the name In his pocketebook. "I 

think it likely," he remarked, 

"that we shall find M. Relnhardt 

to have been the doctor who attended 

the old man. Mercler, in 

his last illness, and not Hartmann, 

as the girl said." 

"Very likely. You will be able 

to find out at once by cabling 

your office In Paris, no doubt" 

"Yes. In fact, the Information 

may already be awaiting me at 

the hotel. I directed the steamship 

line to send any message 

which might come for. me there."

KALAMAZOO 

Margaret Mayo Is certainly a great 

hand for bedroom scenes—the kind 

that result in laughable situations. 

There was one in "Baby Mine" and 

In her later success, "Twin Beds" last 

night's attraction at the Fuller, there 

are two of 'em, which results in nearly 

twice the amount of good brisk 

comedy. The fun, however, is not 

created entirely by the situations in 

the present Mayo farce for there are 

manv clever lines. 

The play is right up to the instant 

from the twin bed fad, which it is 

so cleverly ridiculed and the New 

York apartment house life which is 

satirized so smartly, to the stage settings 

which certainly are Immense. 

Humorous situations come thick and 

fast and good cb • erization are 

among the valuai-" ^ vuents of the 

L play. The fui. • ."i and continuous. 

"Twin.--- nay well wear 

the title "a lau^ntr • nit" Kalamazoo 

theatergoers surely found it so! 

There is an abundance of good 

comedy in the first anfl second act, 

which rises in rapid crescendo in the 

highly facial complications of the 

last. Like "Baby Mine" the first act 

takes place in the drawing room and 

the second and third in Inevitable 

Mayo pink bourdolr. 

Farce .at top speed takes place In 

the last act when the Irate Slgnora 

Monti played by Marion Lord enter 

the Hawkins apartment looking for 

Signer Monti, the temperamental 

Italian tenor; the tenor is in and out 

of the clothes hamper looking for his 

missing clothes; a suspicious honeymooner 

Is looking for a missing husband, 

who is locked In the clothes 

closet, having been mistaken for a 

burglar; a remorseful husband of the 

Innocent little wife is looking for his 

street clothes which the maid has 

sent to the tailors and the poor bewildered 

wife Is searching for a safe 

and sane explanation of the whole 

affair. Surely nothing more complicated 

could be required on which to 

base a rip rodlously funny farce.

BELIEVE MEN STILL 

IN HONE ARE ALIVE 

LANSFOIID, Pa,, Sept. SO. — After 

a night of feverish activity the men 

rescuing the nine miners who were 

entombed in the Coaldale collier of 

the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company 

on Monday, had failed to reach 

them today. The two men who yesterday 

managed to escape from the barrier 

that is holding the other nine 

workers, are rapidly recovering from 

their experience. 

Ofllclals of the company still hold 

out hope that some, If not all the men 

Imprisonsd will be gotten out alive 

and expect to reach them some time 

today. 

Rescuers who have been working 

In relays for 48 hours, heard faint 

sounds during the night which 

believe may have been the rapping 

of the men who are behind tons of 

fallen rock and coal. 

SAGINAW, Ohio, Sept. 80.—Joseph 

Overt, 33, a Hungarian beat weeder,

Rat Population 

in Decrease 

There are Just 104 rata less In Kalamazoo 

than there were on August 

14, according to the official count 

made by Chief of Police Charles W. 

Struble. 

The bounty on rats opened In Kalamazoo 

county on August 14. Since 

that time in lots which have never 

exceeded 15, and have run as low as 

five, the clerk has received rats and 

paid out. at the rate of five cents per 

head. The city has therefore spent 

$5.20 for its collection of 104 rats. 

"Kalamazoo is either nearly ratless 

or the pests are mighty hard to 

catch," says Clerk Miller.

Magical Effect of 

New Face Peeler 

To maintain a clear, white, youthful 

complexion, there's nothing so 

simple to use and yet so effective as 

ordinary mercollzed wax, which you 

can get at any drug-store. Just apply 

the wax at night as you would 

cold cream. In the morning wash It 

oft with warm water. If you've never 

tried it you can't Imagine the magical 

effect of this harmless home treatment. 

It causes tho old worn-out scarf 

skin to come off in minute particles, 

a little at a time, and soon you have 

entirely shed the offensive cuticle. 

The fresh young under-skln now in 

evidence is so healthy and girlish 

looking, so free from any appearance 

of artificiality, you wonder why you 

had not heard of this marvelous complexion-renewing 

secret long ago. 

Equally magical in its action Is a 

simple wrinkle-removing lotion made 

by dissolving an ounce of powdered 

saxollte in a half pint of witch hazel. 

Bathing the face In this for two or 

three minutes Immediately aifects 

every line and furrow and Improves 

facial contour wonderfully. Adv. 

talned Thursday afternoon at the 

home of Mrs. J. B. Wagner. All members 

are requested to attend.

CHIEF STRUBLE LOCATES 

YOUTHFUL VENTURERS IN 

BATTLE CREEK. 

Four tired eyes looked hungrily 

from two' dirty faces at the v big red 

apple set conspicuously on the top 

of Chief Struble's rool top desk, in 

his office at police heaquarters. 

When the Chief turned in his swivel 

chair, two little bodies flinched and 

dirty hands straightened soiled skirts. 

"Please, may we go home?" queried 

a tired voice. 

"Do you think you're ready to go 

back and mind your mothers, and 

go to school, and be good girls, 

questioned the Chief. There was a 

chorus of "Uh hub's." 

An officer was called and two little 

10-year-old glrle were escorted to 

homes where thoroughly frightened 

mothers awaited their arrivals. After 

they had gone tho Chief turned to 

an associate and explained the case. 

This was at 7 o'clock Wednesday 

night. 

"You see," he said, "we received a 

call here early this morning that these 

two girls had disappeared. Tho 

mothers, explained that they believed 

the girls had run away to 'shift for 

themselves.' We did a nttle querying 

and found lhat they were in Battle 

Creek. We arranged that they be 

eent home on an interurban, and 

they arrived on the 7 o'clock car. And 

they framed a regular Diamond Dick 

story for the pap«nts," continued the 

chief- "WhQR I asked them about 

their trip they said two hoboes had 

taken them this morning, put them in 

a box car and made them ride to 

JSattle Creek. They said they got away 

from their captors over there and 

wandered around all day without anything 

to eat. There's one sure thing, 

though, they're prepared to stay home 

and be good." 

Relief from Stomach Trouble. 

"For many a night I have walked 

the floor, nervous and restless. I 

could not sleep for gases and bile in 

my stomach. About six months ago 

I began using Chamberlain's Tablets 

and can say they have done wonders 

for me," writes Emil Q. Leverenz,

MOID DMFTING PUN 

English Military Hond Would Rely 

on Volunteers, But This 

is Slow. 

(By AMociated PrwwO 

LONDON, Sept. 30.—Preference for 

continuation of the volunteer system 

is said to have been expressed by 

Earl Kitchener at a meeting of labor 

executives, yesterday, which was addressed 

by the war secretary. He 

said, however, that the present rate 

of recruiting was not equal to the 

needs. 

Earl Kitchener explained that his 

own plan, which had not yet been 

authorized by the government, wo.>* to 

apply the system of the military ballot. 

Every district would be required 

to furnish its quota of men. In case 

this quota could not be obtained by 

voluntary enlistment, the required 

number would be selected by ballot 

among the men of military age and 

the enlistment of those thus chosen 

would be compulsory. The secretary 

added that there had been no slackening 

of the pressure to bring out recruits. 

KILLS ilHER M SELF

i Detroit Man Shots Parent Rather 

Than Leave Her Dependent on 

Charity. 

(By AssocUilcd Tress.) 

DETROIT. Mich., Sept. 30.—The 

bodies of James A. Glasscock and his 

mother, who was 70 years old, were 

found today in their apartments on 

Jefferson avenue east, by the police, 

who had been summoned by neighbors. 

Shots flred in the apartment 

attracted tho attention of the neighbors, 

who called the police to investigate. 

Near the side of the man was found 

a letter which he had written and 

which indicated he had killed his 

mother and himself in a lit of despondency. 

Friends of the family 

say Glasscock was in financial difficulties. 

The police hodd the theory 

that Glasscock decided to kill his 

mother before taking his own life so 

as not to leave the aged woman alone 

to face the charity of strangers. 

The bodies were taken to the county 

morgue.

they lacked Influence with people,

the power of prayer. This afternoon

RAH FOR BILL KILLIFER 

PLAYER WHO WILL TAKE PART IN WORLD'S SERIES 

TO BE TENDERED RECEPTION—ALEXANDER 

AND MORAN MAY COME. 

Now that the Philadelphia Nationinls 

have won the pennant In that 

league and will take part in the 

world's series next month, Kalamaaoo 

fans are anxious to tender a reception 

to William Killifer, former 

member of the Kazooz, when he returns 

from the east at the close of 

the season. 

Killifer. who was born and raised 

In Paw Paw, is Immensely popular 

Jn this city and the fans will be glad 

to give him a royal welcome when 

ho returns. Doubtless he will bring 

Grovor Alexander.- the great pitcher, 

with him and it is possible that Pat 

Moran, manager of the Philies; will 

come west at the same time. 

Arrangements are now under way 

to have a luncheon and reception at 

the Berghoff hotel If Killifer can ar- 

AMERICAN LEAGUE

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 30.—St. 

JLouis had Detroit beaten yesterday in 

a game whose loss by the Tigers 

would have ended their American league 

race, until the ninth Inning. Then, 

•with one out Cobb walked and Veach 

singled. Both advanced when Shotten 

Juggled the ball and both came 

home when Crawford hit to right 

field fence. The homo club won 3

NATIONAL LEAGUE. 

PHnflMES, 5; BOSTON, 0. 

(Special to The T«l«rniph-PreM.) 

BOSTON. Sept. 30.—The Philadelphia's 

yesterday won the National 

league championship for 1915 with 

Alexander pitching a one-hit game 

against the present title-holding 

Braves. The score was 5 to 0. The 

defeat of the Braves makes it poselble 

for the league leaders to lose all 

their remaining games and still have 

dear title to first place. 

Among the spectators of the game 

were some of the Boston American 

players, the probable competitors of 

Philadelphia In the world series. 

The new champions clinched their 

honors in the first inning. Bancroft's 

•ingle to right and Rudolph's pass to 

Paskert was followed by Cravath's 

home rtm. which brought the latter's 

home run record to 23. -A triple by 

Paskert sent another home in the 

fourth and Cravath cracked a double 

And Ludems a single for a fifth run 

in the sewnth Inning. Score:

Baseball under big league system 

will be played in Cuba next season. 

The new organization will be known 

as the Federal league and in the future 

the game will be governed in 

the same manner as it is in the United 

States. A national commission, 

umpires, contracts and all 

purtenances of big league 

will figure In the Cuban organization 

in the future. 

William Armour, discoverer of Ty 

Cobb and many lesser lights, famous 

for a decade as manager of the Detroit 

Tigers, the Cleveland Naps and 

several American association clubs, 

will begin work as a bartender in his 

own saloon in Kansas City soon. Armour's 

last job was manager of the 

Kansas City Blues. He was released 

three months ago, and since then has 

failed in his efforts to find a baseball 

job. 

The complete record of Ty Cobb's 

ten years in major league baseball is 

a clear index of the wonderful ability 

of this diamond star. Cobb joined 

the Detroit club on Aug. 26, 1905, 

and during the decade in which he 

has played for the Tigers has rolled 

up a grand batting average of- .358 

in 1,239 games. In this period Cobb 

went to bat 4,585 times, making 1. 

729 hits and 875 runs. He also has 

485 stolen bases to his credit, an 

average of forty-eight and a fraction 

a year. 

Terry Turner, who is playing his 

fourteenth season with the Cleveland 

American team, is one of the great 

players of the game to whom not 

much attention is paid because he is 

with a losing aggregation. In belter 

company Turner would be a shining 

star. He puts up an equally good game 

at second, short or at third. He is 

playing the latter position now, and 

playing it brilliantly. 

If there Is any man In the world 

harder to pitch to than Miller Huggins, 

the average National league 

twirler hasn't yet lamped the individual. 

One day when Huggins was 

batting against Vic Willis, then with 

the Pirates, the Rabbit fouled off 

twelve consecutive balls. Vic was an 

"easy going cuss, but he became highly 

incensed and yelled to the imipirei 

"Get a batter! I'm tired cf throwing 

the ball to a bunch of nothing like 

that guy there now!" Beg pardon, 

but I can't help you." replied the 

ump. "You will have to get rid of 

Huggins first. The rules say so, and I 

can't go behind the rules, you know." 

George F. Slosson, the veteran billiard 

player whose balk line cue work 

has won him an enviable reputation 

Internationally, has decided to enter 

the ranks of the three cushion carom 

players. He will represent New York 

In the Interstate league contests 

which continue until early in May. In 

addition to his strong balk line play 

Slosson for many years has been considered 

a master cueist at single 

cushions, and his many friends predict 

that at three cushions - he will 

prove to be equally adept. The entry 

of "the Student," as Slosson Is famiMary 

known in the world ef billiards, 

will tfld a greet deal ef Interest 

In the coming tournament, 

which opened Sept. 2. 

Les Darcy, the new middleweight 

sensation in Australia. Is regarded in 

the Antipodes as legitimate holder of 

thp world's middles-right championship 

through his victories over Jeff 

Smith ann Eddie McGoorty. Australian 

writers compare him with Bob 

Fitsimmons, and some think his career 

as a middleweight will be even 

more brilliant. The middleweight title, 

according to Australian reckoning, 

passed from Jimmy Clabby to Jeff 

Smith and from Smith to Darcy. 

the ap-1 When Darcy knocked out McGoorty 

baseball he merely clinched It. The Australian 

accounts of the fight seem to show 

that Darcy was master of Eddie Mc- 

Goorty from the moment he entered 

the ring until he left it. 

It Is decidedly questionable whether 

there is a better shortstop in the American 

league than Ray Chapman of 

the Indians. Besides being a brilliant 

fielder and thrower, Chapman Is one 

of the fastest men on his feet In either 

circuit. Though a light-handed hitter, 

he beats out a lot of infield hits and 

any time he hits into the infield he 

keeps the opposing team hustling to 

get the ball to first.

[Editor's Note.—This Is the fourth 

article of a series of 12 by that greatest 

of all statisticians, Irwin M. Howe, 

Kalamazoo baseball fans are taking a 

keen interest in the comparisons made 

by this great writer. Don't .miss them! 

The articles appear only in the Telegraph-Press.] 

(By Irwin M. Howe.) 

If the result of the coming world's 

championship between the Boston Red 

Sox and Philadelphia, Nationals, or 

the decision in a single game of that 

series narrows down to the point 

where on defensive play will decide 

it. Bill Carrlgan and Boston fans pray 

and hope that the commission falls to 

Captain Jack Barry. Barry is a veteran 

world's series campaigner. He 

is the man who is responsible in a 

large measure for the return of the 

red hosed team and it will be upon 

his orders that the Boston campaign 

will be carried on afield. 

Opposed to Barry will be Bert Niehoff, 

Philadelphia second baseman, 

and from a comparison of their respective 

abilities Pat Moran's keystone 

guardian comes off second best. 

Bert, however, has one advantage over 

his rival. He is a better hitter and 

what he lacks on the defensive he is 

able to offset with the willow. However, 

to Captain Jack Barry goes the 

palm. 

Heine Wagner, another veteran of 

considerable experience, is Barry's 

understudy for this series. Heine is 

a duplicate of Barry, hut lacks the 

Stamina. He could not stand tho strain 

of a season's toil. This pair of infieldcrs 

have no weakness defensively. 

They cover all the ground their position 

includes, throw strow and true 

and are adepts at putting the ball on 

a base runner. They are the highest 

personification of the brainy player. 

Good Ground Covercr. 

Niehoff, who will be called upon to 

oppose this pair. Is not a second baseman 

by choice. He belongs on the far 

corner, but was placed at the keystone 

hag because he can cover a 

wonderful amount of ground to his 

left. In lhat way Pat Moran has discounted 

a part of Fred Luderus' worst 

weakness—lack of ground covering 

ability. This handicap on the part of 

Luderus compells him to play comparatively 

close to the bag. 

It is almost useless to extol the 

work of Barry and his possibilities in 

a world's series. Jack has made 

world's series history familiar to us 

all. A few words about Niehoff therefore 

would not be amiss. 

Bert is not a youngster by any 

means. He was up in the big ring 

once before but couldn't hold on. He 

has the experience now and so there 

need be no worry along that score. 

Niehoff is what Is known as a free hitter. 

He takes a healthy wallop at the 

ball and generally connects. 

There is one point about this player 

the records do not show. He works 

better when acrisis Is at hand. Bert 

Is speedy but not so fast as his rivals. | 

He is a good run-getter and is superior 

to Barry in this respect because 

of his hitting ability, which puts 

him in a position to score. 

Here's Their Averages. 

The following tables show what 

Barry, Niehoff and Wagner did against

Niehoff 276 303 37 945 

Niehoff hits from the right side of 

the plate and it can be seen that tho 

speedy pitchers above had no terrors 

for him. He is a .250 hitter but 

against men such as Mamaux, Meadows 

and Tesreau he averaged better 

than his year's mark. A slow ball o* 

a cutve Is hard for him to connect 

with. 

Does the Unexpected. 

When the Philadelphia Athletics 

were In their prime. Jack Barry was 

greatly feared by the pitchers of tho 

American league. He was not known 

as a slugger but he had an uncanny 

habit of delivering a base wallop just 

when and where that wallop would do 

the most good. He didn't lose any of 

that ability when he changed over to 

a Red Sox uniform and there Isn't 

a pitcher in the younger league today 

who would care to face him in a 

crisis. 

In the above table it is shown what 

he did against eight of the best pitchers 

this year. Walter Johnson's speed, 

the stuff he will have to face against 

Alexander, was touched for a .200 

mark. Ray Caldwell of the Yankees, 

who also can burn them over the 

pan, was found for .500 mark. Against 

Scott of the White Sox he attained 

the same mark. Dauss, Gallia and 

Faber were puzzles, to him in the 

few times he faced them. 

It Is Interesting to note how Barry 

compares with his teammate in these 

tables. Both are hitters of the same 

class and finished the season around 

the .240 mark, yet Barn' in facing the 

good pitchers and In games where 

base hits counted — outbatted Wagner 

by fifty points. 

Both May Play. 

It Is possible that both Wagner and 

Barry will play in the big games. 

Barry is the choice to start and no 

doubt will play In the majority of 

games. Wagner will be given a chance 

if for no other than sentimental reasons. 

In the 1912 series Heine's playing 

was marvelous. He went through with 

at least six plays, any one of which 

would have meant victory for the 

Giants had they failed. 

[Tomorrow Mr. Howe will compare 

the batting and playing ability of tho 

shortstops on the two world's series 

teams.] 

MEMBERS OF U. OF M. SQUAD 

FAIL TO DO GOOD 

WORK. 


ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 30. — 

There were a lot of disappointments 

yesterday afternoon after some two 

dozen candidates for the 1915 Michigan 

football team had staged their 

initial scrimmage. 

The trouble was that several lads 

who had been scheduled to develop 

a semblance, at least, of stardom, 

failed completely. And to add to 

the individual failures about every 

one of the two dozen mussed things 

up so badly that there Is considerable 

gloom around Ann Arbor today. 

Yost was so sore about it all that 

he threatened to fire every spectator 

off the field. He had to pick out the 

spectators because he had used up his 

regular assortment of language on the 

athletes. 

The score was 6 to 0 with the first 

team on the top, but it was a sorry 

victory. A lucky forward pass from 

eiger to Dunne put the ball over the 

line in one of the corners. Then 

Yost called a halt. Over three-quarters 

of an . hour of tussling had been 

staged, and It is likely that if his favorites 

hadn't made that touchdown 

that they would be at it yet. 

It wasn't his best which Coach 

Yost lined up as a first team. But 

some of the inserts did good work. 

Raymond, in for Pat Smith, was just 

about the wftole works for the first 

team. "Rummy" Roehm performing 

for Maulbetsch, did some good ground 

gaining, but he received a little bit 

more than his share of the coach's 

criticism. 

A YEAR AGO TODAY. 

The French war office reported 

successes on the left wing of the 

western front. The German office said 

the allies had been repulsed. 

Belgian office reported that they 

were successfully repulsing the Germans 

before Antwerp. 

A new hattle line which extended 

from Mariampol to Ossowltz, in Russian 

Poland, has been formed by the 

Russians, and terrific fighting was re. 

ported from the entire front. Rome 

reported that Rumania railroads were 

congested with German troops being 

rushed to check this Russian advance. 

A German squadron was reported 

by Petrograd to have bombarded the 

port of Windau. 

The German war offico posted Its 

thirty-eighth casualty list -containing 

the names of 8,000 officers and men 

killed, wounded and missing.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,191S. 

FAVORITE CAPTURES $10,000 

EVENT AT COLUMBUS. MADE 

FAST TIME. 

COLUMBUS, a, Sept. 30.—Th« 

110,000 Horseman Futurity for threeirear 

olds, one of the richest of the 

colt classics, was raced at the driving 

park yesteraay and won by the New 

England Ally, Mary Purney winner of 

the Horse Review futurity here last 

week. 

It was a harder fought race than 

that of last week, the youngster from 

the east being sent off on a break 

In the flret heat and after trotting 

a desperate clip around the large 

field, only flnlihed sixth, but In the 

next two heats she was best. The 

ta racing as a whole was the best seen 

since tho meeting started, three races 

folng to split heats and two being unfinished 

when darkness put an end 

to the sport. 

Mary Putney was favorite in the 

field for the futurity, Humfast also 

being well played as she was sold last 

night by L. E. Brown, of Delavan, 

111., to Tom Murphy for ?6,000, who 

drove her in the race. The field gave 

Starter Stone a lot of trouble scoring 

Cor the first heat and when they were 

itnt off both Mary Putney and Native 

Spirit were running. Murphy landed 

Humfast a winner from Colorado 

Range in 2:09 3-4. In the next two 

heats Mary Putney was trotting all 

the time, got off well and won, outfinishing 

Humfast in the second and 

Colorado Range in the final. Chancey 

Sears, of Fall River, owner of the 

winner, was presented by Mayor 

Karb, with the $500 silver Horseman 

loving cup. The winner's share of the 

stake was $5,200. 

Russell Boy, that has won more 

money than any pacer out this season 

was the choice for the 2:10 stake but 

for a time It looked that his backers 

were in very bad with no hope of getting 

out. Hal Boy beat the favorite 

driving In the first round; in the 

second he broke in the stretch and 

ri Judge Ormonde won and in the third 

the Judge outpaced him and won. In 

' the fourth heat Russel Boy saved his 

backers or perhaps only prolonged 

their agony, by beating Judge Ormande 

In a head and head finish, the race 

then being put over on account of 

darkness.

With Michigan Aggies 

(tpeelal to Tho Telerrapli-Prefls.) 

BAST LANSING, Mich., Sept 80.— 

••Chi" Pick Is now at fullback' on the 

Michigan Aggies. 

This is a switch Coach Macklln 

sprung In yesterday's scrimmage, and 

it worked so well that Pick's sensational 

work Is now the talk of the 

campus. The 'varsity shortstop ran 

through, and around the scrubs In the 

half-hour battling. Time and again 

this lad, who up to yesterday was figured 

as pivot substitute, tore off 

gains from 20 to 40 yards. 

TRIO OF OLUBS 

HAS OHANOE AT 

FEDERAL FLAG 

(Speetol to The MtcmplvPreM.) 

CHICAOO, Sept. 80.—With the Fed- 

Aral league pennant race only four 

more days to run, the position of the 

throe leaders last night was so close 

that Pittsburg had only five points 

advantage In the'percentage column 

over St. Louis, wnich was crowded 

Into third place by losing to Kansas 

City while Chicago defeated Pittsburg. 

So close are the leaders that today's 

game might upset all three positions. 

If Pittsburg should lose and the 

other two teams win, Chicago would 

lead and St. Louis would resume second 

place. On the other hand, it 

Pittsburg and 8t Louis should win 

and Chicago lost, Chicago would be a 

poor third. With Pittsburg and Chicago 

fighting eaoh other, St. Louis apparently 

should have the best chance 

for victory, as it has already won 

more games than the others and has 

fewer to play. 

S U S l M 

PLAYERS WILD BE TENDERED 

RECEPTION BY MEMBERS OP 

KNOCKERS' CLUB. 

The St. Louis Browns of the American 

league, one of the teams that will 

play at Riverview park next Monday 

afternoon, will arrive in Kalamazoo 

from Chicago on the Wolverine that 

morning, and will be tendered a 

luncheon and reception by the Knockers' 

club. 

Manager Branch Rickey will bring 

15 players. Including George Sisler, 

the former U. of M. star, who is now 

rated as a second Ty Cobb by the 

critics on the big circuit, and Ernie 

Koob, the left-hander, who started in 

his career as a member of the Kalamazoo 

Normal team. Koob is now 

generally recognized as the best southpaw 

on the St. Louis team and one of 

the leading filngers in the Ban Johnson 

league. 

While complete arrangements have 

not been made for the All-Star team 

that will oppose the Browns, it is 

known that Wade Killifer, who was 

with the Cincinnati Nationals this last 

season, will be in the lineup. Others 

who have accepted contracts are Dolly 

Grey, of the Wichita team in the 

Western league, a former Kalamazoo 

player, and a brilliant backstopped; 

Rutus Gilbert, well known in this city, 

and Clyd# Wares, a former member 

of the Browns. 

It will not be known for sure until 

late this evening whether Ty Cobb 

will appear in the line-up. He Is anxious 

to come to Kalamazoo but he 

haa a great amount of business to attend 

to before leaving for his home 

In Georgia. 

Coach William Spauldlng of the 

Normals will be a special guest at the 

luncheon tendered the St. Louis team. 

A number of workmen were given 

employment at Riverview park this 

morning, putting the playing field in 

top-top condition. It is predicted that 

the largest crowd that ever witnessed 

a game In this city will be present 

when the two teams start playing 

Monday. 

Heavy Schedule Ready 

for Central High Team 

With the schedule all arranged and 

the team in good shape for the football 

season, which starts at Central 

high Saturday afternoon, promises to 

be one of the most successful of the 

West street school. 

The schedule for the year follows: 

Oct. 3—Hastings at Kalamazoo. 

Oct. 9—Cold water at Coldwater. 

Oct. 16—Otsego at Otsego. 

Oct. 23.—Albion at Kalamazoo. 

Oct. 30—Open. 

Nov. 6—Plalnwell at Kalamazoo. 

Nov. 13—Grand Rapids at Grand 

Rapids. 

Nov. 20—Battle Creek at Kalamazoo. 

This heavy schedule means that 

Coach Seltz must have his men going 

at top speed at all times during 

the season if he expects to come out 

on top with the biggest share of his 

games, but with the material assembled 

this should, be an easy task. The 

back field Is the heaviest In years and 

should rip things up among the" high 

schools of the state. Boersma at fullback 

and Staake and Cutting to hold 

him up should make the rest of the 

teams look bad, while In passing it 

should not be overlooked that "Tubby" 

Myers at calling signals is a 

wonder. 

The line is going to be the weak 

place for the team as everyone except 

the two ends, Pasoh and Chase, 

are green men at the line Jobs. Sikkenga,. 

the old tackle, will be helped 

by Kools with MacAIllster and Miller 

guards. Vroidljay will be seen at 

center. As the line will average 

close to 160 pounds there seems to 

be a good team in the making. 

HILLSDALE BOSSES DO 

MANY SPEEDY MILES 

HILLSDALE, Mich., Sept. 80.—The 

week's race program at • Hillsdale 

opened yesterday with 24 starters in 

three events, all races being split heats 

and all closely contested. 

Some of the finishes were speetacular. 

In the 2:80 trot they scored 

17 times for the second heat Although 

there were no accidents and 

no penalties Imposed, a lot of meddlesome 

green horses that oould not 

be controlled caused trouble. There 

was a fine crowd for opening day 

and splendid fields.

PHILLIES' FANS GO WILD WHEN 

THE PENNANT RACE IS DECIDED 

PHILADELPHIA Sept 80.—A 

wave of wild enthusiasm swept 

through the business section of this 

dty yesterday afternoon with the announcement 

flashed on many scoreboards, 

that the "Phillies" had finally 

clinched a pennant and would be 

contenders for the world's baseball 

title. 

Old and middle-aged .men who 

have been faithful rooters of the 

local club for 32 years hugged each 

other and even total strangers on 

City Hall plaza, when the electric 

lights on the scoreboards which had 

told the story of the game to a 

multitude of spectators, flashed 

Compton's final fruitless swing. 

Thousands of fans crowded every 

available spot on the board gide- 

walk around th® city hall te view 

the progress of the game. Cra- 

vath's home run clearing the 

caused a shout which brought 

clerks and others in oficef In the 

vicinity to the windows and appraised 

them Intuitively that the 

National league flag had been won 

for this city. Scoreboards In other 

sections told the story to other 

thousands even before speclat editions 

of the afternoon papers had 

emblazoned the tidings on the front 

pages. 

The news spread rapidly throughout 

the city and, although baseball 

followers had felt confident of victory 

ever since the Philadelphia team left 

on its last road trip, word that the 

game needed to clinch the pennant 

had been won was Joyfully received-

Jack Barry, With Red Sox Now, Holds 

Record For Taking World Series Coin 

•< 

IMsm 

(Bpeclal to The Tel©irr«ph-Pre«8.) 

BOSTON, Sept. 30.—The First National 

bank of Merlden, Conn., if 

that's the bank Jack Barry keeps his 

coin in—probably thanks the world's 

series games for considerable of Its 

surplus at the present time. For the 

Red Sox second baseman has been 

depositing world's series checks with 

monotonous regularity since 1910, 

surpassing all other money getters in 

this respect. 

There have been players who have 

Jack Barry. 

figured In the golden harvest of as 

many as four world's series, Including 

Christy Mathewson, who is still 

more or less with the New York 

Giants, but Barry Is the only artisan 

known to baseball to ever figure in 

five such princely divisions. 

Eddie Plank and Chief Bender of 

the Athletics figured In five world's 

series, but the money they received 

in 1905, when the Mackmen lost to 

the Giants, could scarcely be termed 

"princely," and would not begin to 

measure up to Barry's share of the 

receipts this year. In 1905 the receipts 

were split 75 per cent to the 

winning team and 25 per cent to the 

losing agregation. Each Athletic 

player received $382. The Philadelphia 

club, however, donated Its share 

mm 

of the receipts to the Athletic players. 

making ' each player's share 

$832.22. 

Barry's fifth will come with the 

1915 series, as the Red Sox will form 

50 per cent of the fall classic. The 

Merlden* marvel's first Introduction 

to a world's series check came back 

In 1910, when as a member of the 

Macklan brigade he helped trounce 

the erstwhile Invincible Cub machine, 

for which he received $2,- 

062.79. 

With the same team Barry aided 

in the downfall of the Giants In 1911, 

and toted home a check calling for 

$3,654.58. This defeat was repeated 

In 1913, and Barry's exchequer was 

swelled to the extent of $3,246.36. 

Last fall he was a member of the 

Athletic team that fled before the attack 

of tho Boston Braves, and as a 

loser he only drew down $2,031.65. 

Nlneteen-fifteen again finds him in 

a world's series, and his income 

ought to range from $2,000 to $8,000, 

depending on the outcome. Thus in 

six years "Black Jack" has participated 

In five series, 1915 Inclusive. 

His first four netted him exactly 

$10,985.88, and possibly he'll have 

something like $14,000 to his credit 

when this year's debates are determined.

The accident took place on September 

28, 1910. 

P\YTSG TELLER AT CITY BASK

IMS FIB IPSIUN1I 

'Popular Young Busdness Man Will 

Continue -His Home in 

Kalamazoo. 

George Fritz, for the last three 

years paying teller at the- City Savings 

bank, this evening will leave the 

employ of that banking institution. 

Tomorrow morning ho will go to 

Ypsilanti, where he will accept a position 

as special state representative of 

the Peorisi. Life Insurance company 

of Peoria, 111. 

Mr. Fritz considers his new employment 

a material advancement 

With State Manager. 

In his new capacity, Mr. Fritz will 

be associated with State Manager H. 

E. Vande Walker of the company. 

While his headquarters will b^ at 

Ypsilanti, practically his entire time 

will be given to traveling about the 

state, creating new agencies and working 

with new representatives. He will 

continue his home in Kalamazoo, however, 

maintaining his present residence 

at 1116 South Burdick street. 

Mr. Fritz is considered one of the 

capable and prominent of the younger 

men of the city. He was born in 

Edgerton, O., and at the age of 17 

years became a night telegraph operator 

for the L. S. & M. S. Nine years 

he was detailed to Kalamazoo and 

made L. S. & M. S. freight cashier. 

It was in this position that he was 

occupied five years ago when the offer 

came to him to enter the employ 

of tho City Savings bank. Ho accepted 

the offer though it gave to him 

one of the lowest positions In the 

bank's service. Fritz was a man of 

ambition and soon his determination 

and his talents were recognized. Rap- 

Idly he was advanced, becoming bookkeeper 

and clearing clerk and finally 

paying teller. It was three years ago 

that he was promoted to this position. 

In this capacity he was next in succession 

for a position as officer of the 

bank. 

Offerg Advancement. 

A few days ago the offer came to 

him from the Peoria Life Insurance 

company, entirely without his solicitation. 

Not only is he enjoying a substantial 

advancement in accepting the 

new position, but he Is placing himself 

in a capacity where the possibilities 

of promotion are dependent 

entirely upon ability and almost unlimited. 

While hundreds of Kalamazoo people 

will feel a deep personal loss in 

the leaving of Mr. Fritz, each will 

join in the congratulations showered 

upon him. He has been prominent In 

Pythian affairs and at the present 

time holds the office of prelate. He 

also is identified with the Chamber 

of Commerce. 

Mrs. Fritz will remaifi in Kalamazoo, 

occupying the Burdick street residence.

Rules That Mrs. Constance Dodson is 

Not Entitled to Damaircs 

From M. C. R. R. 

The Michigan supreme court late 

yesterday afternoon handed down an 

opinion reversing the decision in the ! 

case of Constance Dodson versus the 

Michigan Central and the verdict of 

?2,500 given by a jury in the circuit 

court is set aside and an application 

for a new trial denied. 

The case was tried before Judge 

Celement Smith In the local court in

December, 1912. The testimony showed 

that the woman was driving over 

a viaduct near Mattawan when a 

freight train underneath started, the 

noise of which caused the' v horse to 

run away. Mrs. Dodsoh being thrown 

At the time the case was , on trial 

here Judge N. H. Stewart argued that 

the railway company was In no way 

at fault and that the court should 

lake the case from the Jury. The 

supreme court has now taken the sarnc^ 

view of the matter. 

Judge James H. Dodge, of Indlaa 

and Harry Howard of this city appeared 

as counsel for the woman. The 

case has been in courts for more than 

five years. Mrs. Dodson brought suit 

for $10,000 In the first place. The 

reversal of the decision by the higher 

court Is a distinct victory for 

Judge Stewart and the railroad company.

with a reception at the White 

House by President Wilson to the 

surviving officers of the Civil war; 

a business session at Camp Emery,

Policeman Musi Act Like 

Chesterfield When He Speaks 

to Wrong-Doers Hereafter 

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 30.—A citl- 

Een was driving his wife's aunt to the 

depot in his motor car. She had been 

visiting a week and so he wanted to 

be sure to catch the train and in his 

haste he forgot to be cautious. He 

started his machine across Woodward 

avenue before the traffic officer had 

given the signal to go. The eagle eye 

Of the traffic officer observed the 

faux pass and the citizen trembled. 

He had had such an experience before. 

He well remembered how the 

traffic officer had leaped at him, 

seized the hood of his automobile and 

shook it until it rattled inside and the 

gasoline was almost spilled out of the 

tank. 

"Whereyagoln'?" the traffic officer 

had demanded in a voice of thunder. 

"Wotinhellzamattawithyou? Aintja 

got no eyerorearaz?" 

And the citizen had attempted 

humbly, as befit his station, he being 

merely the owner of a Rough-Stuff 

eight, 1915 model, to explain. Recollecting 

this public humiliation, the 

citien-chauffeur paused and tremblingly 

awaited the storm. 

He Removes His Hat. 

But It did not' break. The traffic 

officer merely held up his gloved 

hand In a gentle gesture of warning, 

approached the car slowly and having 

approached, bowed deferentially, removing 

his cap. 

"I beg pardon, sir," he said, "but it 

becomes my painful duty to inform 

ft r ou that you are attempting to cross 

this thoroughfare in violation of all 

the accepted and approved rules of 

traffic. Allow me to call your attention 

to ordinance No. umpty-umph, 

as enacted by the people of the city 

of Detroit. I merely call your attention 

to this matter in the hope that the 

offense, committed unconsciously and 

with no evil intent, I am sure, will 

not be repeated. In case of further 

unfortunate violations of the traffic 

rules, it will become my unwilling 

task to report your name and address 

to the court Drive on, my dear sir. 

I trust my Interference will not prevent 

the charming aunt of your esteemed 

wife from catching her train." 

And as the citizen-chauffeur drove 

on he muttered to himself: "Well, I'll 

be darned!" 

Must Be Polite. 

This all comes about through an order 

issued by the new superintendent 

of police, Ernest Marquardt, that 

hereafter all officers shall impart the 

Chesterfieldiah touch to their relations 

with the public. Politeness must 

succeed profanity. That Is the rule. 

As a result we can exa*et almost 

anything. It's the soft answer that 

counts. It wouldn't be surprising to 

see the desk sergeants array themselves 

in conventional coats for the afternoon 

shift and full dress for the 

evening work. 

Signal officers may be dressed to 

the minute. Instead of swinging a 

night stick, officers may be found now 

holding a book of etiquette In their 

right hands. 

Hereafter no undue violence will be 

tolerated. The mailed fist has given 

way to the soft and open palm and 

the gauntlet of a stormier day has 

been thrown down, not In challenge 

to a worthy foe, but to make room 

for the wrist watch. 

Oh, shades of Tommy Stack! 

REUBEN H. COMPTON. 

Reuben H. Compton, aged 70 years, 

died at 6:3 Oo'clock this morning at 

the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. M. 

Cameron, 1105 Eggleston avenue. 

Death was due to heart trouble. Mr. 

Compton had been the representative 

of the Union Oil company of Cleveland 

In this city for the past twelve 

years. In addition to the daughter, 

he Is survived by one son, W. H. 

Compton, of Minneapolis, and a 

granddaughter. Miss Joyce Cameron, 

of this city. Mr. Compton came to 

this city from Chicago. Funeral arrangements 

will be announced later. 

MRS. JOHN B. DILLON. 

Mrs. John B. Dillon, aged 38 years, 

formerly Miss Anna McDougal of this

SUDDEN DEATH 

Caused by Disease of The Kidneys 

The close connection which exists 

between the heart and the kidneys is 

well known nowadays. As soon as 

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension 

is increased and the heart functions 

are attacked. When the kidneys no 

longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning 

occurs, and the person dies 

and the cause is often given as heart 

disease, or disease of brain or lungs. 

It is a good insurance against such 

a risk to send 10 cents for a sample 

package of "An-uric"—the latest discovery 

by Dr. Pierce. Also send a 

sample of your water. This will be 

examined without charge by expert 

chemists at Dr. Pierce's Invalid's Hotel, 

Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer 

from backache, frequent or scanty 

urine, rheumatic pains here or there, 

or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, 

It's time to write Dr. Pierce, describe 

your symptoms and get his 

medical opinion—without charge and 

absolutely free. This "An-uric" of Dri 

Pierce's Is 37 times more active than 

city, died at 11 o'clock-this morning 

in Borgess hospital. For the past 13 

years Mrs. Dillon had made her home 

In Paw Paw. Besides her husband, 

she is survived by six children—Robert, 

John, Edmund, Frederick, Harold 

a«d Mary; one brother, Fred Mc- 

Dougal, and a sister, Mrs. Albert Burgess, 

both of this city. 

John H. Joldersma, undertaker, Ph.271T-R-2 

lithia, for it dissolves uric acid in the 

system, as hot water does sugar. 

Simply ask for Dr. Pierce's An-uric 

Tablets. There can be no Imitation. 

Every package of "An-uric" is sure to 

be Dr. Pierce's. You will find the signature 

on the package just as you do 

on Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, 

the ever-famous friend to ailing 

women. 

WORRY, DESPONDENCY. 

Kidney Disease is suspected by 

medical men when patients complain 

of backache or suffer with Irregular 

urination, disturbed, too frequent, 

scanty or painful passage. The general 

symptoms are rheumatic pains or 

neuralgia, headaches, dizzy spells, irritability, 

despondency, weakness and 

general misery. Worry is a frequent 

cause and sometimes a symptom of 

kidney disease. Thousands have testified 

to Immediate relief from these 

symptoms after using Dr. Pierce's 

An-uric Kidney Tablets.—Adv.

Co-operation has been the shibboleth 

of success In every under-# 

taking ventured by man • since the 

beginning of things. History fails 

to record a military victory of consequence 

or an achievement of 

state that has been accomplished 

despite the dissemination of the nation's 

subjects. Society is founded 

upon the basic principle of 

unity. Chaos and disorder reign 

when the cementing bond of society 

is served by individual discords. 

The lexicon of man. contains 

the word "selfishness" and therefore 

the note corresponding to the 

term must be found in the human 

make-up. On that account sages 

have denied the possibility of a 

perfect society in the material order. 

Successful community building 

requires the concerted effort of society 

to override the human weakness 

and weld the labors of the 

whole towards the obtaining of that 

which makes for the common good. 

In that is * co-operation—the first 

and primal rudiment to learn in 

the course of "empire" making. 

From its birth as a white man's 

village under the siring of Titus 

Bronson, who erected the first log 

cabin back in 1842, In its adloscence 

as a town In ante-bellum 

days, during that period preceding 

the donning of the municipal 

toga, and finally after Its graduation 

Into the classified cities of the 

west, -Kalamazoo has been Impressed 

with the importance of 

mastering this lesson In communal 

construction. During the lone 

period which witnessed the cycle 

of changes In her growth, the dty 

has experienced reverses and hardships 

and In fact, ran the gamut of 

dvic emotions, which is the lot of 

all municipalities in the making. 

Always was there indomitable publie-spirited 

men to ride at the 

emergendes and awake in the 

breasts of their fellow townsmen 

the need of that co-operative bond 

among all to beat back ill fortunes 

and to go ahead. 

And advance it did. There may 

have been lulls in the wind of progress, 

dissensions might have at one 

time or another disrupted the civic 

concord, private and selfish interests 

may have brooked for a moment 

the progress of the city, and 

idealists and champions of chimerical 

cities may have seen their 

castles fall like Nineveh and Tyre, 

but the prosperity march of the 

city has been the steady, unfaltering 

charge of Hannibal's infantry, 

which knew no halt but for rest. 

During the last five years Kalamazoo 

has taken her place naturally 

and graciously as the fourth 

city of the state, and as the metropolis 

of southwestern Michigan. 

The positions may be called both 

her geographical right and her 

moral prerogative. 

community has merited 

the unfiinching zeal and toil of Its 

citizenry, who have been led by 

high-minded dynamic men of great 

moral principle and strong determination. 

Co-operation was the 

keynote of the advancement which 

gave to Kalamazoo her moral title 

to the rank in which it has been 

placed. 

The last the destined to bring the realization of 

through their aspirations, the making of 

Her geographical position has and Chicago, placing the city on 

made the city a formidable rival 

of Grand Rapids as the retail center 

of western Michigan, besides 

the place It already holds in the 

southern section of the state. From 

every direction*—north, south, east 

and west—the city is accessible by 

at least one railroad, steam or eleotrio 

line. Located half way between 

Chicago and Detroit on the main 

line of the Michigan Central, the 

retailers have open to them a potential 

field fifty miles in both directions. 

The north and south, 

connected by a network of railroads 

and interurban lines with the city, 

offers as many possibilities. 

The retailers fully appreciate the 

advantages that the position affords 

and have effected an organization 

in a co-operative movement 

to open up more extensive trading 

districts to draw from. They have 

not only Inhaled the spirit of co- 

the city but have themselves created 

a great part of it, as Is manifested 

by the role they have taken 

in- the events of Prosperity week. 

In fact, of co-operation they have 

made a ritual which Is ultimately 

the city the retail center of central 

Michigan. 

The retail establishments in the 

city are thoroughly modern and 

bespeak the thrift and progressiveness 

of the men behind the concerns. 

The styles and innovations 

are shown here simultaneously 

with their appearance in Detroit 

a competitive level with any other 

municipality in the west. The salesmen 

and saleswomen are kept 

thoroughly educated in their profession 

by solicitous employers, 

who have themselves taken similar 

lessons in the course of efficiency 

and keeping efficient 

Each fall and spring the various 

concerns detail their buyers to 

the eastern markets, where the 

choicest and newest articles and 

commodities are' selected for the 

\ consumers of southern Michigan. It 

would be fruitless to attempt to 

trace the growth or describe the 

work of the retail business of the 

city. It would be just as hard a 

task to faithfully portray what the 

merchants have done, are doing 

and Intend to accomplish for tho 

community at large. They are concerned 

with the good of the city 

as vitally as the biggest propertyoperaUon 

^rom ^^ atrapaphere of _ owners and as morally-as the mo^t

ardent clergyman, and they have 

shown it. ThL-y are of and are for 

Kalamazoo "ternally." 

But we have diverted from the 

subject that was first taken In. 

hand—that of the city, of its resources 

and its potentialities. 

Its 

position in the heart of the richest 

agricultural district of the state 

has already been partly described. 

Fifty miles of territory in practically 

every direction is connected 

with the city by railroads and electric 

lines, as has been already said. 

The lines total twelve, making the 

city the greatest railroad center in 

the state aside from Detroit. 

There have been frequent rumors 

afloat pertaining to the proposed 

electrification of the Fruit Belt line, 

which conneots the city with the 

rich fruit growing country directly 

west to Lake Michigan. The territory 

has been a lucrative tributary 

to Kalamazoo In the past but 

the opinion has prevailed that with 

better transportation facilities, a 

far wider retail trade could be 

drawn from the district. The mati 

ter has been proposed on several 

occasions and Is at present under 

the advisement of the officials of 

the Michigan United Traction company, 

owners of the road. 

The new Michigan Railway interurban 

line between Kalamazoo 

and Grand Rapids has opened up 

a large territory to the north which 

was formerly closed to the merchants 

on account of the inadequacy 

of transportation facilities. 

The records of the road are 

, iiii' . 

business caused In the city by the 

beginning of operations on the line. 

The Grand Rapids & Indiana, 

Lake Shore and Grand Trunk railroads 

bring the residents of northern 

Indiana and southern Michigan 

into the city from the south. About 

twenty passenger trains are scheduled 

on these three roads daily. A 

large amount of express business 

that/the books of the local offices 

showed for the last year are a 

bright indication of the rural business 

that is being done in the city 

also. Freight receipts are also 

heavy for the last year. 

One- of the most fitting testimonials 

of a city's progressive 

spirit is the number of large buildings 

and the kempt appearance of 

the streets. 

Kalamazoo is better 

equipped in this respect than any 

city of Its size in the country. Indeed, 

its metropolitan appearance, 

its business district, paving, and all 

the other manifested signs of civic 

pride have been commented upon 

by the press of the country. It is 

not only a healthy omen but signifies 

growth and communal pride 

reflecting on the humblest citizen 

and taxpayer. 

The city is wonderfully free of 

the smoke pest, with which so 

many manufacturing communities 

are afflicted. This Is largely due 

to the plan by which the city was 

laid out and to which posterity has 

rigidly adhered. All of the industris 

are located either in the eastern 

or southern part of the city, 

and at a considerable dislance 

mute evidence of the expansionfit from the business district, The 

route Of the railroads in and out 

of the city-have largely aided the 

maintenance of the plan. 

The merchants and propertyowners 

in the downtown district 

have collaborated In "putting on 

a front," which Is maintained the 

year round. The shop windows are 

given as much attention in the way 

of artistry in display and neatness 

as the professional decorators of 

metropolitan department stores 

shower on their creations at the 

fall openings. Competition in the 

display window and the appearance 

of the buildings is unusually 

keen and but further proves the 

thrift of the Kalamazoo merchant. 

A prominent educator of the 

east has contributed the statement 

that Kalamazoo Is one of the leading 

educational centers of the west. 

Her place as the foremost instructive 

community In the state is however 

undisputed. 

The city's industries speak for 

themselves. The city is the papermill 

cente^ of the world and ranks 

high in the metal Industry, ^he 

Kalamazoo Stove works are known 

and advertised from coast to coast. 

Sixty per cent of the peppermint of 

the world is manufactured here. 

There are an aggregate of 20 industries 

operating in the city. 

Water supply from the Kalamazoo 

river is at hand, factory sites and 

facilities are naturally provided. 

Nature has been provident and indulgent 

to the city. Located in a 

valley whose fertile land has 

brought to the community the fame 

derived from the choicest and most 

abundant celery In the world, all 

the beauty and resources of the 

state seem to have been specially 

collected and endowed upon the 

city destined to come into its 

natural , inheritance as the second 

city of Michigan. 

As a site for state and interstate 

conventions, It is not to be equalled. 

Not only is it centrally located but 

the new state armory on Water 

street and Its hotel facilities make 

it better fitted to take care of a 

convention than any of its neighboring 

cities. 

The armory has a 

seating capacity of 3,000 people, 

and at present is being used for 

an exhibit hall during the events 

of Prosperity week. The city has 

22 hotels, four of which are rated 

as high class. The city is equipped 

with the finest of restaurants in addition 

to the hotel cafes. * 

All this has been recorded to further 

Impress the significance which 

Kalamazoo has assumed in the 

state and to indicate In some manner 

the setting for the exposition 

which will be held in the city. Prosperity 

week itself is the manifestation 

of the spirit and co-operation 

among the business men, merchants, 

and Industrial heads of the 

city. 

It has been breathed from 

the city which was built on that 

co-operative spirit which is the 

flesh of "empire" making. Like the 

men who fought, toiled and sweated 

in the hewing of the first log 

cabins that were to make the village 

of Kalamazoo; like the champions 

of the ideals that were to 

later carry the village to the rank 

of a city; like the sturdy citizens 

of the municipality who saw in 

the community what it promises to 

be, and strived for that end with 

might'and vim", so today, not two 

months ago, men of the same call* 

ber who perceived that the city was 

in need of a stimulant, rolled up 

their sleeves and started after a 

panacea for the times. 

Maybe the co-operative spirit of 

the community was wavering that 

caused the peremptory tackling of 

a proposition that would result in 

a fair that is to be conducted on a 

scale hitherto unthought of in the 

state. At any event these publicspirited 

men, actuated by that loyalty 

of city which lifts the heart 

and burdens the body beyond Imagination, 

saw their community in 

need of concentration of its units 

and decreed Prosperity week. 

The preparations for the events 

have been completed with painstaking 

labor and toll that lasted for 

two months. The men in charge 

have put their hours, their minds 

and hearts into the work. To them 

the city Is indebted beyond that 

which couid be expressed by mere 

W>rds,

NATIONAL STORAGE COMPANY 

HAS MODERN PLACE TO STORE 

ALL GOODS. 

Autos, Pianos and Rugs Are Among 

Specialties of This 

Concern. 

Where fire cannot reach, nor moth 

nor rust corrupt Is the sanitary, fire 

proof structure of the National Storage 

company located in East Water 

street. 

Absolutely fireproof is the term 

which Is justly applied to this building. 

not aa Is so frequently applied 

.to buildings, but In its truest sense. 

Fire might start In the building. But 

It would not get very far, for there 

Is nothing about the building which 

can burn except a few wooden fixtures 

In the office. 

No Wood on Building. 

Wood has been tabooed to every 

possible extewt In the building of this 

storage plant, reinforced concrete and 

steel have been used exclusively with 

the exception of the doors and windows. 

Tho doors are of sheet iron 

and the windows of wire glass In steel, 

frames. The glass Is a wire net In-1 

terwoven, so that should an adjolnilng 

building burn the windows could 

'not break, and thus admit the possibility 

of fire. 

Especially sanitary Is the rug room, 

where expensive rugs are stored with 

absolute security against moths. The 

isecond floor has three hundred steel 

ilockers, each of which will contain 

one van load. All goods we thoroughly 

clean before they are put 

away, thus Insuring them against becoming 

contaminated In any way during 

the time they are in storage. 

Splendid facilities are provided for 

tho storing of pianos. A thermometer 

is kept in the room, and an even temperature 

maintained which assures 

that the pianos will be kept In good 

condition. Special piano covers offer 

still further protection to the pianos 

'stored In this house. 

Autos Are Stored. 

The third floor is given over to automobiles. 

The machines are rested 

on jacks and are well cared for and 

all oil and gasoline are taken out of 

them. The room is kept locked so as 

to prevent any intrusion from outsiders. 

The plant has one-quarter of a million 

cubic feet of storage space. 

There are six floors with 25.000 square 

feet of space on each floor. The 

men who are engaged by the storage 

company are all experienced men in 

their various lines of work and handle 

all goods with care. 

A big elevator 10 by 17 feet In size 

with a capacity of 10,000 pounds, Is 

used in carrying the goods to their 

various floors. The company, which 

Is capitalized at $50,000, has the following 

officers: President, G. Van 

Eck; vice president, H. L. Vander 

Horst; secretary. T. William Hastings; 

treasurer, Edgar Kaseman.

RESIDENTS OF CLLF 

BEFIECT mm 

OF ITS HOME MLKERS 

Kalamazoo is a city of homes. 

That may be the reason why the 

city boasts some of the finest and 

most complete furniture stores to be 

found In any city of its size. 

Whatever may be the reason, the 

fact remains, that no city of its size 

In the state of Michigan offers to Its 

residents such splendid opportunities 

to buy beautiful furniture for their 

homes than does Kalamazoo. For 

Kalamazoo's furniture shops offer the 

newest and best, the most commendable 

furniture to be found anywhere 

in the state. 

Kalamazoo's home-makers are discriminating 

house-furnishers. And 

they have been aided In cultivating 

this discrimination by the splendid 

co-operation of the furniture houses 

of this city. 

There is not a line of period furniture 

which cannot be furnished by 

the furniture houses of Kalamazoo. 

It is exemplified In Its proper setting. 

In all the various kinds of wood, and 

nowhere Is to be found more complete 

stocks of high grade furniture 

than those which the Kalamazoo 

shops have to offer. 

Kalamazoo's furniture men are educated 

In furniture lines. And by the 

way. it is doubtful if there is any 

single line of merchandising which 

requires more careful study than that 

of the furniture business. To be a 

really capable furniture dealer, one 

must have not only an accurate 

knowledge of woods and their various 

treatment, but a still more accurate 

knowledge o^ history. One must know 

the different surroundings in which 

the great rulers of other ages and 

other countries lived, and the Influences 

which the various regimes had 

upon tho mode of life, and styles of 

furnishing. All this is necessary to 

the man who would select with authority 

for his clientele the right types 

of furniture. Added to all this there 

must be the element of adaptability 

In his training which enables hlnv to 

select style of furniture which shall 

embody correctness of line and dependableness 

of construction with 

utility suited to the demands of his 

clientele. 

And that's the sort of furniture 

dealers Kalamazoo has. They're specialists 

in house furnishing. They're 

not mere retailers of the output of 

furniture factories. Their stores give 

evidence of all this. And that's the 

reason shoppers come from far and 

wide to Kalamazoo to select the furniture 

with which to outfit their 

homes. 

In many of the shops model flats 

are fitted out, showing the proper 

combinations of furniture, while In 

still other shops furniture will be assembled 

upon notice to give the prospective 

customer the idea of the appearance 

of the room arranged with 

the furniture which may have been 

selected. 

It Is doubtful if anywhere furniture 

dealers give to their customers, more 

thoughtful, and courteous attention, 

ore more thoroughly reliable advince 

relative to house furnishing than, is to 

be secured In the shops of Kalamazoo. 

Indeed some of the house-furnlsh- 

Ing houses of Kalamazoo will take a 

contract for completely furnishing 

your house. Given a certain allowance. 

they will equalize it, in such a 

manner that when the house Is completed 

it shall be evenly and proportionately 

furnished In a manner 

which will give tho idea of completeness 

and balance.

Central police station, which is located 

on East Water street on the

secure appropriation from the council.

The Public Library 

Kalamazoo has held her head high 

whenever discussion of libraries came 

up during educational conventions In 

the state. The reason Is the neat 

little sandstone building you see in 

the picture. The structure with Its 

simple but artistic architectural trimmings 

is the gift of the ?ate Dr. and 

Mrs. E. H. Van Dusen, whose philanthropies 

and civic zeal will form part 

of th© history of the city. 

From 124 books whlcn comprised 

the nucleus of the public library in 

1S72, the Institution has gradually 

swollen until today there are on the 

shelves of the Rose street building 

more than 50.000 volumes. The 

stages of the evolution of the library 

are marked by years of establishment 

In back rooms in down town office 

buildings until 1892 when the library 

at the corner of Rose and South 

streets became a reality. 

The main floor Is devoted to the 

library proper and reading and referi 

ence rooms. . The juvenile reading 

ttJVil ST0»U 

room and museum are located on the 

ground floor. An efficient corps of 

librarians are in charge and tho Institution 

Is closely allied with the 

city's educational organizations.

"Kalamazoo has some of the best 

style pickers when It comes to shoes 

of any city this side of Chicago." 

That's what a shoe expert said 

about Kalamazoo's shoe buyers not 

long ago. And that gives just a bit 

of an Inkling of the type of shoe stores 

of which Kalamazoo boasts. 

Nor does that mean that when one 

buys shoes in Kalamazoo one Is required 

to pay exorbitant prices because 

the shoes have the authoritative 

mark of the last style note. Not at 

all. For Kalamazoo's shoe stores offer 

shoes from every price, and every 

quality, two prime requisites being 

made for every shoe that Kalamazoo 

shoe dealers offer their customers, 

they are that the shoes shall be 

worthy, and that .they shall sound the 

proper styltf note. 

However, much Kalamazoo shoe 

shops may cater to the novelties in 

shoe styles (and there's no new style 

note which is not given a hearing in 

this city) the main effort Is to provide 

shoes which shall be reliable,- shoes 

which shall be worthy, and shoes 

which shall at the same time, be 

modish though practical in ntyle.

FIVE STEAM AND TWO ELECTRIC 

ROADS BRING HUNDREDS OP 

VISITORS HERE DAILY. 

With five railroad lines, and two 

Interurban lines coming into Kalamazoo, 

there is no other city in 

Southwestern Michigan so well provided 

with transportation facilities as is 

Kalamazoo. And still the predictions 

are that even better facilities are to 

he offered us in the future. 

And to the splendid transportation 

facilities which Kalamazoo boasts is 

due in a very large measure, the 

splendid business which is hers. 

Because of the ease with which Kalamazoo 

may be reached at practically 

any hour of the day from any territory 

to the north, the south, the east 

or the west, hourly shoppers are pouring 

into Kalamazoo, every train bring- 

^jg a big group of them. 

'Unusually fine service is given to 

the east and west of Kalamazoo. On 

the main line of the Michigan Central 

the best trains which this great railroad 

company runs make Kalamazoo 

and offer unusually fine facilities for 

reaching the Celery City. The South 

.Haven branch of the Michigan Central 

furnishes transportation along the 

Jlne through to Lake Michigan, while 

the Fruit Belt line connects Kalamazoo 

with a string of prosperous towns 

along Michigan's great fruit belt. The 

New York Central lines connect Kalamazoo 

with a group of towns to the 

south reaching clear through to northern 

Indiana, while the Grand Trunk 

branch out of Kalamazoo connects 

with the main line of the Grand 

Trunk offering transportation facllitie* 

in this direction. Both north and 

.south connections are offered by the 

Grand Rapids and Indiana lines. The 

two interurbans are among the splendid 

adjuncts to Kalamazoo transpori.-tion 

facilities affording a line of int> 

rurban travel through to Detroit on 

the one, and to Grand Rapids on the 

other, connecting as well all the intervening 

towns along the line. 

Excellent as aye the transportation 

facilities for passenger traffic, they 

are 

r. 

quite as good, if indeed not better 

for freight traffic, all of which adds 

to the splendid advantages of Kalanazoo 

as an jndustrial center. W 

Indeed 

Kalamazoo is one of the most important 

shopping points in this section 

of the state, with its long list of 

manufacturing institutions, making 

monster shipments daily.

THIS CIH 

Elcctrlc and Steam Lines Give Easy 

Access to Kalamazoo-—The 

City of Prosperity. 

All roads lead to Kalamazoo. 

At least all roads over which shopperds 

travel lead directly to Kalamazoo. 

And after they reach the city 

they branch out into every direction, 

and at every angle. For there's 

not a single store in the entire city 

which does not have its clientele of 

trade from adjoining cities and 

towns. 

In every' line of business it is the 

same, and from every directior. come 

shoppers to Kalamazoo to take advantage 

of th#3 splendid shopping 

facilities which this city nas to offer. 

Indeed It Is conservatively stated 

that there is not a city in the state, 

not even excepting Detroit, in many 

instances which offers better shopping 

advantages that does Kalamazoo, 

and from quite as large a radius does 

Kalamazoo draw her business. 

From the east a distance of seventyfive 

miles finds along the route of 

the interurban line a large clintele 

of Kalamazoo shoppers. They come 

from as far east as Jackson to buy 

their clothing in Kalamazoo's stores. 

And 'from the north as far as Grand 

Rapids do the shoppers travel to 

.their favorite mart in Kalamazoo's 

\fetores. Since the new Grand Rapids 

interurban has been runir.ng an ever 

increasing number of shoppers from 

Plalnwell. Otesgo, Allegan and other 

towns in this direction take advantage 

of the splendid opportunities offered 

by Kalamazoo stores. 

From the west as far as Nlles they 

come to Kalamazoo, to do their shopping. 

Indeed Kalamazfto nas a large 

clientele of sh6ppers from Dowagiac, 

Niles and the intervening towns. 

From Decature. Lawton, Paw Paw, 

South Haven and all the towns along 

the Fruit Belt line, Kalamazoo shops 

draw patronage, while people from 

Schoolcraft, Vicksburg, T;liree Rivers, 

White Pigeon and all the towns in 

that direction think of no other place 

than Kalamazoo to do their shopping. 

And indeed there are some lines of 

trade in Kalamazoo which draw 

patronage from even the nearby 

states. So wide is the radius from 

which Kalamazoo's shoppers come, 

and so large is the patronage which 

comes from the "towns, that indeed it 

is doubtful if there is another city in 

the state of the size of Kalamazoo 

which such a rare distinction as a 

shopping center as does Kalamazoo. 

They come to by clothes, for Kalamazoo's 

ready to wear stores have 

exclusive garments, second in autoritative 

style points to none in the 

county. They come here to buy 

shoes, men come here to buy clothing, 

householders come to Kalamazoo to 

«my for furniture with which to beau- 

'tlfy their homes, they come here for 

stoves, they come here for confectionery, 

they come to Kalamazoo for 

every line of merchandise. And the 

fact is they come to Kalamazoo, because 

Kalamazoo offers the best of 

everything to be had for the money, 

ajid because the splendid transprotation 

facilities afford easy access to 

their popular trading center.'

Tradition has connected towers, 

such as the one at the Kalamazoo 

state hospital, with the tragedy and 

romance that thrived in the middle 

ages. To all portents the "tower" 

as it is known to the attendants 

could form a fitting locale for the enactment 

of the most thrilling of medivial 

love ventures or to house such 

victims of tragedy as would pale a 

character of Dumas. 

However, it is as far separated 

from the laymen's notion ' of its 

usage, which ig the belief that it is 

the rabidly insane quarters of the 

institution that is imaginable. Prosaically 

it is the water tower, and has 

a reserve tank of 3,000.000 gallons 

capacity. Ordinarily it is used for 

private consumption alone, but in 

times of emergency in the city, such 

as outbreaks of big fires, the local 

lire department falls back on it. It 

was erected with the main building 

of the hospital.

All the new equipment for the 

public school playgrounds, ordered 

at the September meeting of the board 

of education has arrived and has 

been taken on the grounds of 

the

is to take place.

City Sets Apart Spare for Ruralists 

and Vssista Them in Marketing 

Their rroduce. 

Kalamazoo Is the trading center for 

the farmers of southwestern Michigan. 

Indeed she has always been. 

From the time the pioneer farmers 

of Kalamazoo county drove In to the 

village of Bronson bringing on their 

carts their potatoes, their wheat, their 

corn, ihelr butter and their eggs, to 

trade them for sugar ami for calico, 

and the like, until this present day 

and ihe like, mull this present say 

when they motor in bring their products 

on ihe trailers on the back of. 

•their machines, Kalamazoo has always 

been the trading center for the 

farmers of southwestern Michigan. 

One of the earliest evidences of 

this was the organization of the 

Farmers sheds in Farmers avenue, 

•where farmers and their wives from 

all over tin's section brought ihelr 

butter and their eggs and their vegetables 

to exchange them for the groceries 

which the store had to ofter. 

There they stabled their horses, 

protecting them from the heat of 

FIIminer and the cold of winter, while 

they and their wives took the revenue 

from their products and spent it 

for shoes and clothing and furniture 

' in the stores of Kalamazoo. 

With an ever increasing number of 

automobiles and still more interurbans, 

even greater has Kalamazoo 

3oomed up to the residents of the 

rural districts, and the importance of 

1 this city as the logical trading ceni 

ter has been given evidence. It offers 

alike an output for their prod- 

"ucts and the best shopping center in 

the section. 

As an outgrowth of the immense 

trade which comes to Kalamazoo 

from the farming sections around the 

town are the large number of Jm- 

plement retail stores. Kalamazoo 

does a considerable business in seeds, 

and in feed also while Kalamazoo 

shops in general make a special effort 

to cater especially to the demands 

of the rural population. 

Farmers from all over this section 

of the country come to Kalamazoo to 

do their banking. They come to 

Kalamazoo for their amusement, they 

come here for their shopping, and 

they come here because Kalamazoo Is 

and always has been the trading center 

for the farmers of southwestern 

Michigan.

When people of southwestern Michigan 

think of clothes, they think of 

Kalamazoo. 

And why shouldn't they? 

For Kalamazoo has the finest line 

of clothing stores for both men and 

women of any city in southwestern 

Michigan. Indeed, some of the bigger 

cities of the state which boast a 

larger number of stores, fall far, far 

short of casting anything but the most 

favorable reflection upon Kalamazoo 

when it comes to the matter of style, 

of authoritative display, of variety, or 

of prices. 

So why shouldn't the people of 

southwestern Michigan think of Kalamazoo 

when they think of clothes? 

And if you don't believe all this, just 

take a trip to some of the bigger 

Michigan cities, then come back to 

! your own shops and see if you can't 

' ilnd clothing every bit as modish, 

sounding every single style note, and 

i at just as reasonable prices as any 

you'll find there. 

Once upon a time there were those 

in the prehistoric days of Kalamazoo 

who sometimes thought that they 

needs must, make regular shopping 

trips to cities If they were to secure 

the very smartest things. And so the.\ 

did it. 

One fine day, one of these shoppers 

came back, after a three days' shopping 

expedition, to find exactly the 

same things she had traveled three 

Kalamazoo in 1S60 was a little 

more than the proverbial lane, as'this 

picture will testify to, but the picture 

hundred miles to get shown in the 

shops of her own city, at even a little 

bit lower price. And she had failed 

In her effort at exclusivenesy and beside 

had lost her railroad fare and 

three days' hotel bill. 

One by one. these out-of-town shoppers 

gradually awoke with a dull 

thud to the same truth which has now 

become so well known, that these 

erstwhile popular three days' shopping 

trips to other cities have become 

a thing of the past. 

KALAMAZOO TELEGRAPH-PRESS. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915. 

When the City Began 

For Kalamazoo's clothing stores 

have the clothes to offer for both men 

and women. 

No city can possibly offer better 

facilities than do Kalamazoo stores. 

Every one of the big stores have buying 

representatives continually in New 

York. Their ears to the ground, they 

immediately get the first low rumble 

of a style change, and no sooner do 

they get it than Kalamazoo has the 

thing to offer. Tn addition to this, 

buyers for some of the Kalamazoo 

ft- - .J.jr • £ 

of Main street In ante-bellum days 

does not contrast with any flattery to 

a reproduction of the same thoroughfare 

taken In 1915. From this sprinkling 

array of general stores, town 

"hutel" and other accessory establishments. 

has sprung the thriving city 

which leaps into national fame as the 

stores make monthly trips to the New 

York markets, so that there Is a constant 

stream of the smart new things 

from America's style center constantly 

pouring Into the Kalamazoo stores 

ready for their selection. 

Beside all this, with the regular 

monthly trips of buyers to the eastern 

markets, there is an opportunity 

for special purchases made for customers 

who desire some particular 

thing, and a splendid special order 

business has been built up by the 

i 

fosterer and founder of a creation in 

communal concentration. "Prosperity 

Week," that is destined to return national 

fame. 

Kalamazoo stores. 

Not to be outdone by the women's 

clothing stores, the- men's clothing 

houses offer exactly the same splendid 

opportunities for the well-dressed 

man. 

Men's clothing stores in Kalamazoo 

have for the selection of their patrons 

every one of the well known nationally 

advertised lines of ready-to-wear 

clothes, and nowhere Is a new style 

note heard before Kalamazoo gets it. 

Kalamazoo has an unusually -large 

MIL! IPPOECITEO 

liocal Merchants Enjoy Confidence of 

Those Desiring Honesty in 

Salesmanship. 

Every business calls for confidence. 

But there are some lines of merchandise, 

the very nature of which 

demands that the customer unless h« 

be a connoisseur, must have a certain 

amount of confidence in the dependableitess 

of his dealer. 

Such a line is the jewelers. And 

Kalamazoo is to bo especially congratulated 

that she has such splendid, 

dependable, absolutely reliable 

jewelry stores as those which are 

doing business in this city. 

Extensive Indeed is the line which 

they carry, and the very newest creations 

of the jewelers design are to bo 

found In the shops of this crty. 

Jewelry that is reliable, gems ^that 

are real, stones that are priceless,, 

able ware that Is genuine, ail these 

are to be found in Kalamazoo's 

jewelry shops. A number of the 

stores make a specialty of diamonds, 

while others feature clocks, and one 

well known jeweler Is likewise a manufacturer 

and from his workshop 

comes the most beautiful and original 

of designs. He takes the gems you 

may have had for years and works 

them Into any design you may select, 

or he msiy devise. 

And all of Kalamazoo's jewelers 

have built up for themselves the 

reputation of absoulte dependableness, 

which adds a splendid feature to 

fhe long list of virtues which Kalamazoo 

claims for her retailers. 

number of fine stores for men, ha.berdashers' 

shops, and men's specialty 

houses. And in addition to this Uiere 

are in Kalamazoo some of the Pnest 

tailors in the country, w.ho take care 

of the man who is devoted to the 

made-to-order suit. 

When all this is considered it is indeed 

small wonder that when people 

of southwestern Michigan think of 

clothes they think of Kalamazoo. 

For Kalamazoo's tho style center 

of southwestern Michigan.

MUCH GOOD IS BEING DONE IN 

AN UNOSTENT.iTIOrS WAY 

BY ORGANIZATION. 

Supplying a need which is filled byno 

other organization in the city, supiplementing 

the work of every other 

religious and social organization, the 

Young Women's Christian association 

Is one of the most worthy, most 

worthy while, most commendable organizations 

in the entire city. | 

Quietly, without ostentation, yet 

persistently and continuously this organization 

pursues its work, that 

work, the work of helping girls. Few 

people in Kalamazoo realize the extent 

of the work this organization accomplishes 

In the course of a year, 

and few If any even of those most 

jclosely associated with the work 

realize the scope of the work which 

the faithful secretaries of the organization 

carry on. 

^Y. W. C. A. Does Good Work. 

From giving lodging to the girl 

stranded in the city, finding employment 

for her if need be, to guiding 

the girl in her literary and religious 

studies the work of the Youny Women's 

Christian association In Kalamazoo 

runs the entire gamut of social 

service among girls, and through 

its various departments does an 

amount of work which would be surprising 

to the ordinary person. 

Handicapped though the Association 

Is, through its lack of a Y. W. C. 

A. building properly equipped, neverttieless 

It makes most excellent use 

of every Inch of space, and every bit 

of effort which is possible under the 

present circumstances. 

Four secretaries are in charge of 

the work of the association, Miss Ida 

Mary Hoebel, general secretary is In 

charge of the business end of the organization 

and Is In general charge 

of the activities of the Association. 

Miss Hoebel Is at the head of the 

Triangle Girls, a club of young business 

women who are doing excellent 

work along educational and social 

lines. Miss Hoebel is likewise in 

charge of the religious work of the 

organization which includes the Bible 

classes, and the vesper services which 

are held regularly each Sunday afteraoon. 

One of the most interesting features 

of the work of the Young Women's 

Christian association, and withal 

one of the very most valuable features 

of the work is that which is done by 

Miss Annie G. Clements, Travelers Aid 

eecretary. This little woman so as-, 

suming, yet so reliable is tho one to 

whom hundreds of girls owe cheir 

safety, and their protection from designing 

men. 

Guard Traveling Public, 

Faithfully, and conscientiously this 

little woman keeps guard over the 

traveling public, particularly the 

young girl, and the helpless mother 

with a little family. To estimate the 

value of her work would be impossible. 

For one minute she is helping 

a tired mother and her little brood 

to the right train to reach their 

destination, and the next minute she 

is taking the unsuspecting young girl 

to a place of safety far from the reach 

of those who would entice her to her 

ruin. 

Indeed she Is the guardian angel 

of the stations and many is the girl 

whom she has brought to the Association 

rooms to keep her there until 

sufficient funds could be procured to 

send her to some relative or responsible 

friend. Hers is the most 

unassuming yet most valuable pieces 

of work which the Young Women's 

Christian association docs in Kalamazoo. 

And then thetre is the extension 

work of the association, the work 

which goes out to the girl from out 

of the city ftmployed in the factories 

and offices ol the city, and gives to 

her a homelike atmosphere, and an 

opportunity to meet other girls, and 

ioin with them in worth while, endeavor. 

These ohibs are organized in several 

of the factories of the city. Once 

each week the various clubs meet at 

the Association rooms, where they 

have social houra classes of various 

kinds, and team to do the practical 

worth while things of value to the 

most capable woman. 

Aid Colored Girls. 

Nor are the colored girls forgotten 

In theso clubs, for one of the most 

interesting clubs in the extension department 

is lha Let Us Be Friends 

club connposed entirely of colored 

girls who are most enthustastic in 

their Jnteaest In the Young Women's 

Christian association. 

Miss Mliiinle H. Smith, the new extension 

secretary, who has recently 

come to thy. Association is in charge 

of the works of these clubs and has 

some 'tnteresitlng plans under way for 

the wlater saaaon. 

In addition to all these is the work 

among the young girls who with their 

Camp 1'ire and their Colonial clubs 

are moslt enthusiastic supporters of 

the Association. 

However one oif the most patronized 

teaturas of the Association work is 

that of tha luncheon room which under 

the dlirection of Miss Imogen 

Fletcher serves nundreds of luncheons 

and ah many supper every day. 

It is not proposed to make this an 

especially profitable proposition, since 

the point of the Y. W. C. A. lunch 

room is to serve to the business girl, 

whether a member of the Association 

or not good wholesome luncheons at 

prices which they can afford to pay 

without in any way proving a loss to 

the association. In this way the girl 

feels, and in fact it is true that she 

receives onty what she pays for, but 

she is getting it at a margin which 

makes it possible for her to live on 

her salary If It happens to be small. 

Right soon the Young Women's 

Christian association will ask the people 

of Kalamazoo for contributions to 

a big building fund. Already they 

have a considerable fund as a nucleus, 

and they have now an option on 

the Cornell proirerty, one of tho best 

locations for such an institution In the 

entire city. 

Equipped with, a building commensurate 

with their need, and the 

work of the Kalamazoo Young Women's 

Christian association will be 

enormous, for no city of its size offers 

bettor opportunities for the activities 

of such an association than 

does Kalamazoo.

Ml PILOTS IN 

SPEED KINGS WUjL RACE OX 

NEW CONCRETE TRACK 

SATURDAY. 

(By United Prets.) 

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The greatest 

galaxy of speed kings ever gathired 

about one track will face the 

Marter's gun here Saturday in the 

first 350-mile race for the Astor Cup 

•n the new Sheepshead Bay course. 

About thirty cars are ocheduled to 

make the start, but it Is probable 

there will be some eleventh hour 

withdrawals. 

Hopes of an American made car 

carrying off the honors rested largely 

on the Stutz and .Maxwell entries. 

There are four Stutz cars, two of 

them piloted by Earl Cooper and Gil 

Anderson, who finished first and second 

respectively in the recent Minneapolis 

race, and at Elgin they divided 

the two big road races between them. 

Eddie Rlckenbacker in his Maxwell 

also is expected to make a bid for 

honors. 

The Peugeot entries are considered 

the most dangerous—both the cars 

and their drivers. There are five of 

them, each with a driver of international 

fame—Darlo Resta, Bob Burman, 

Howdy Wilcox, Johnny Aitken 

and Ralph Mulford. 

Barney Oldfield and his well known 

cigar will be seen at the wheel of a 

Delage, and Ralph Depalma, who won 

the five hundred mile race at Indianapolis 

last May, will pilot a Mercedes. 

Besides the custody of the Astor 

Cup, prizes aggregating $50,000 will 

go to the winners." 

The big oval has been pronounced 

by the drivers working in practice 

spins as almost perfect. The motordrome 

is constructed of wood, steel 

and concrete, and will accomodate 

nearly 200,000 persons. The course 

is two miles, with two straightways 

and two banks. 

GrILMORE BROS. HAVE 

VERITABLE STYLE SHOW 

With every department of the big 

Gilmore Bros, store vying with every 

other department or the store in the 

effort to make the Prosperity week 

display and Prosperity week values 

the best. Prosperity week visitors in 

Kalamazoo are to be given a most 

excellent opportunity to get the new 

fall styles. 

In fact Gilmore's is to present a 

style showing in every departmnet 

very much like a style show, and as 

elaborate In every section as a formal 

fall opening. There are to be special 

values offered for this week as well, 

and every effort will be made to 

give the visitors in Kalamazoo next 

week the very best possible evidence 

of Kalamazoo's metropolitan and up 

to the minute methods of merchandising. 

Gilmore's entire store will be turned 

over to the visitors to extend to 

them the greatest possible hospitality. 

Parcels will be checked at the exchange 

desk, every one of the thirty 

telephones in the house will be at 

the disposal of the visitors. Seats 

will be placed in the splendid daylight 

dress goods section at the rear of 

the store, and on the second floor 

the rest rooms and toilet rooms will 

be at the disposal of the women visitors 

with a maid in attendance. 

Mothers may leave their children 

In the play room on the fifth floor 

during the day, a matron being in 

charge to take care of all children 

over three years of age. The store 

will be elaborately decorated throughout 

and in every department special 

values will be offered each day. 

At their booth in the Pythian 

temple will be exhibited a splendid 

showing of embroideries and draperies 

as well as many other interesting 

style features. 

MAX THE TAILOR HAS 

NEW FALL WOOLENS 

The. county jail like many' other 

institutions In other cities is a victim 

of circumstances. The building 

has been termed archaic and about

which will not permit a special apappropriation

The appropriation will probably be 

given a referendum at next election 

when the people will likely decree a 

new jail. The present one has been

standing since 1882. The ground floor 

is composed of the "cage" for the 

desperate element, and two tiers "of 

cells for the less refractory prisoners. 

The second floor is given over to 

trusties quarters and a woman's ward. 

The sheriff's apartments, office, Bertillon 

room, and turnkey's room is m 

the fore-part of the building. 

VELLEMAN TO MAKE 

DISPLAY OF BARGAINS 

One of the busiest places in the 

city during Prosperity Week will be 

tljlfe Velleman store (in East Mfain 

street. For Velleman has made arrangements 

for an unusually big display 

of attractive goods for this week 

all specially priced for the benefit of 

the Prosperity week visitors. 

Ever day will bring its special display 

of special prices and bargains at 

this store, and the windows will be 

filled to their capacity with all these 

specially priced goods. 

The members of the Velleman's 

sales force will be taxed-to their limit 

to complete arrangements for the big 

event, and it is safe to predict that 

the store will be crowded during every 

day by the Kalamazoo Prosperity 

week visitors, who are eager to share 

the prosperity which Kalamazoo's 

merchants are offering to them. 

Velleman has made a spocial 

fort to offer to his patrons an un- 

•usually fine opportunity in his Prosperity 

week showing. 

S 

low SHOES AOE MADE 

Just how shoes and rubbers are 

made, all the various processes from 

the beginning until the end of tho 

process will be demonstrated by the 

exhibit in the Appeldoorn Shoe store 

during Prosperity week. 

Appeldoorns have secured rubber in 

the raw state, after its first treatment, 

and through all the various stages 

until it comes forth in the beautiful 

new pure riibber boots, which • this 

season are in purest white. 

Likewise with shoes they will demonstrate 

the various process of the 

shoemakers' trade, and will show 

how shoes are sewed and turned, and 

the lasts on which they are made. All 

parts of the shoe will be assembled 

In the window. 

And of course the Cinderella shoe 

will« be displayed, and other interesting 

features will be exhibited which 

will make the Appeldoorn store a 

popular place. Special values for the 

week will also be announced.

HORTON BEIMER PRESS 

HAS REAL PROSPERITY 

Organized four years ago, beginning 

in a very small way the Horton- 

Beimer Printing establishment has 

grown with leaps and bounds during 

its short history and is now recognized 

as one of the finest, most reliable, 

most efficient printing establishments 

in the city. 

Located in the basement of the bank 

building, they have excellent quarters, 

and are thorouRhly equipped for the 

splendid business which they are doing. 

They print among other things 

several publications, among them being 

the Michigan Suffragist, the Normal 

Record, and the Brown and Gold, 

the Normal school annual. In addition 

to thia they deal in wedding stationery, 

business cards, circulars, 

booklets, catalogues, and all sorts of 

commercial printing, as well as poster 

work. They have a new system of 

embossing which has come into quite 

notable popularity. 

Altogether the Horton-Beimer company 

is one of the reliable business 

institutions of Kalamazoo and entirely 

deserving of the splendid prosperity 

which has bee ntheirs. 

A man's succes smay depend on the 

way he is raised, even in a poker 

game.

new fall woolens for suits and overcoats. 

Max, the tailor, will present 

most attractive window displays during 

Prosperity week. 

The line which Max is showing includes 

all the very .newest patterns 

and styles In woolens, all the smartest 

color combinations, everything 

which the well dressed man recognizes 

as correct for his suit or overcoat. 

Special effort has been made to offer 

unusual attractions during Prosperity

this splendid tailor shop will be most 

popular during the days of the coming 

week. 

"Let there be light." That was In 

the Moses-cellar episode, and when 

Kalamazoo was beginning to clamour 

for electricity. Now there is light— 

light advertised to rival the rays of 

the sun. The homes and business 

houses are furnished with their electric 

illumination by the Commonwealth 

Power company. The "juice" 

Is generated !n this plant, which is 

situated on the east bank of the Kalamazoo 

river, a few hundred yards 

north of East Main street. 

The plant is said to be the best in 

the southwestern part of the state and 

has a greater generating capacity. It 

supplies the street car system with 

electricity Îso. The present plant has 

been in operation since 1910.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1915. KALAMAZOO TELEORAPH-PRESS. 13 

COMPANY DOES MVCH TO MAKE 

WORK OP ITS EMPLOYES 

DELIGHTFUL. 

Welfare work in the Upjohn company 

Is taking great strides. 

The latest addition to the comprehensive 

system which that company 

is installing is a shower bath room 

and dressing rooms for the young 

women employed in the various departments 

of tho Upjohn company. 

Build Elaborate Balha. 

Three marble showers and four 

large airy dressing rooms are now under 

construction on the second floor 

west side of the building. The men 

already have their showers. There is 

a plan under way now, not fully completed, 

by which the girls will be allowed 

time each week for bathing on 

. on the company's time, if they prefer 

S 

to take hot and cold showers at the 

factory rather than bathe at home. 

The showers will be at the service 

of the girls after hours anyway, but 

this special arrangement would accommodate 

many. 

The emergency hospital or "first 

aid" room at the Upjohn company is 

a model of up-to-date apparatus and 

sanitary precautions. It is perhaps 

impossible to estimate tho real welfare 

work done In this department 

and blood poisoning and suffering 

prevented by tho proper care of small 

cuts and wounds. 

First Aid Equipment. 

The first aid room contains a 

sterilizer, couch, a wheel chair in 

which patients can be brought to the 

first aid room and all the necessary 

instruments to take care of injuries. 

The dining room for the employes, 

which is also a part of the welfare 

work for Upjohn men and women is 

a beautiful largo room, in which 

about 100 people eat each noon. This 

dining room has grown from a tiny 

room in one end of the building to a 

huge department with scorces of 

tables. When a dining room was first 

Installed, it was an experiment. But 

It proved such a success and was so 

popular with employes that more 

iartitions have been knocked out 

? rom time to time until now the entire 

end of the building is used for the 

dining room. Spacious rooms are also 

used for the kitchen and rooms 

where the food is prepared. 

Luncheons Are Economical. 

The most important items on the 

bill of fare are gratis to all employes. 

Bread, fruit, cake and many other 

things, which are changed each day 

r are a cent each. It is understood 

" that no men could possibly consume 

more than ten cents worth of dinner 

when he adds the gratis dishes. A 

feast can be gotten for seven cents, 

and enough for several people for 16 

cents. 

Other plans for the welfare of the 

Upjohn employes will be worked out 

from time to time as these caring for 

the deem that experiment.

OF CIST 

"Bob" Johnson Will Deliver Powerful 

Address at Tabernacle 

Tonight. 

"The Second Coming of Jesus 

Christ" will be the subject of "Bob" 

Johnson tonight at the tabernacle. 

He says that this important question 

is seldom talked about, although 

it Is mentioned 389 times in the old 

testament and 318 times in the new 

testament. 

He promises to give a talk tonight 

with a message for thousands and 

hope sthere will be a large attendance. 

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO 

COLLECT OLD PAPERS 

More than a ton of old papers has 

already been collecced at the Woodward 

avenue school since school opened, 

according to announcement made 

today by the principal of the school 

James Starkweather. 

The children of the school are 

asked to bring all the old magazines 

and newspapers they can collect to 

the school. These are then sold to 

the paper mills, and the money is 

used to buy apparatus and equipment 

which the school childern and their 

teachers want, which the board of 

education has no appropriation for in 

the budget. 

APPEAL MADE FOR 

FRESH-AIR KIDDIES 

When canning this year, the housewives 

of the city are urged by the 

Kalamazoo Anti-Tuberculosis Society 

to put up a few extra cans of fruit 

and vegetables for the little kiddles 

at the open air school. , 

The point Is brought out that Ithe 

children need the fruits and vegetables 

and they are so reasonable at 

this time of the year that housewives 

are putting them up by the bushel. 

If each one would put up a few cans 

with the open air school in mind, It 

would mean much 

to the children 

during the coming winter. 

The address of the open air school 

Is 421 Pine street, directly back of the 

Lovell street school. It Is open until 

4 o'clock each afternoon.

Much Interest Being Shown in 

Event to Be Held on 

Octobcr 11. 

Unusual interest is being shown in 

the recital which will be given Monday 

evening, October 11, at the First, 

Baptist church under the direction of 

the Sherwood School of Music when 

the artists will bo Miss Georgia Kober 

of Chicago, pianist and Parmelia 

Newby Gale contralto, both of the 

faculty of the Sherwood Conservatory. 

Tickets were placed on sale today 

at the Colman Drug store, and it is 

probable that the high grade of the 

program to be given will assure an 

Immense audience for the concert. 

The Kalamazoo representatives of 

the Sherwood school includ Miss Victoria 

McLaughlin, Miss Frances Leavens. 

Mrs. E. A. Read, Miss Pearl 

Chllson and Mrs. Leonora Meyers.

A. B. Connable Alleges Tliat Payment 

On Xotes Ha« Not 

Been Made. 

Former Mayor A. B. Connable has 

brought a $40,000 damage suit against 

Dallas county. Mo., to recover money 

on a note, issued at the time of the 

construction of a railroad In that part 

of the state. Louis Krughoff was 

awarded a judgement against the 

county for $24,647.31 of which sum 

It was specified that $3,850.65 was 

to bear interest at ten percent and 

the balance at six percent. Nothing 

It Is alleged has been paid on the 

note which the Kalamazoo man later 

bought from Krughoff. The suit Is 

brought In the federal court for the 

southern division of the western district 

of Missouri. The notes were 

issued in October, 1905. 

PYTHIAN SISTERS 

GIVE AID TO SOCIETY 

The Kalamazoo Anti-Tuberculosis 

society has again been favored with 

a fine service rendered by the Pythian 

Sisters. Twelve woolen blankets that 

have been used during the year, were 

nicely bound and put In good order, 

ready for cold weather. The Kalamazoo 

Laundry Company was also helpful 

In cleaning, without cost, the blankets 

and suits used by the children at 

the Open Air school. These favors 

are greatly appreciated by the officers 

who bear the responsibility of 

carrying on the j work. 

M'CORraCK SALES CO, 

TO GIVE AWAY $10,000 

lialamazoo Prosperity Week visitors 

are to receive $10,000. And the Mc- 

Cormick Sales company is going to 

make the gift. This is the way they 

will do it. You see the McCormick 

Sales company is the local representative 

of the Hupmobile. And so during 

Prosperity Week, just to share their 

prosperity with the visitors, they arc 

planning to give to every person who 

purchases a five passenger Hupmobile 

during Prosperity week, a check for 

S110, and to every person who purchases 

a seven passenger Hupmobile 

during Prosperity week, a check for 

$125 will be given. 

This insures that all Kalamazoo 

visitors who are interested in automobiles 

will visit the headquarters of 

this concern at West North and 

Douglas avenue and avail themselves 

of this splendid offer which holds 

good only during this one big eventful 

week. 

A woman's heart never really flutters 

with joy until her pastor tells her 

he has missed seeing her at church. 

Fall Planting for Spring 

Bulbe Already Begun by Many 

Garden lovers who wish tlêir gardens 

or the ground around their 

houses to be rich with narcissus and 

jonquils, should begin their work 

without delay, for fall is the time to 

plant the bulbs of these flowers. The 

work should be undertaken as soon 

as, or even before, an early frost has 

weakened the annual flowers in the 

bed. 

In the case of narcissus, many 

households will find it advantageous 

to naturalize the plant so that it 

grows ahd blossoms on the lawn much 

as the wild flowers do. In many of 

the parks of the larger estates of 

England, in portions of North Carolina, 

on estates along the James river. 

In Virginia, and In old New England 

gardens, narcissuses that were planted 

over half a century ago are still 

vigorous and produce every spring a 

beautiful display of blossoms.. 

To naturalize the narcissus it should 

be planted in the sod or partial shade. 

Make a small hole In the soil five or 

six inches deep. Insert the bulb, 

pointed end up, and press the soil 

over the top. Planting In rows of 

geometrical figures should be avoided. 

An easy method of accomplishing 

. this Is to scatter the bulbs as if one 

were sowing seed, and then plant 

them where they happen to fall. 

When the tulip and narcluss bulbs 

are planted in the beds, the surface 

of the soil should be loosened after 

each rain and the bed kept free from 

weeds. In the late fall an early winter 

It is well to cover the beds with 

a light mulch of straw or leaves, to 

prevent injury from alternate freezing 

and thawing. This much should 

be gradually removed In spring when 

the growth appears above the ground. 

If the soli Is well drained, the bulbs 

will not be Injured by severe cold. 

Under suitable conditions, tulip and 

narcissus plants will Increase from 

year to year. The bulbs, therefore, 

may be left in the ground for two or 

three seasons until the clumps begin 

to crowd. It Is then desirable to transplant 

them. This should be done from 

BIX to eight weeks after the spring 

blossom In order to allow the foliage 

to die down partially. The bulbs 

should be lifted with a spade or fork 

aud after the soil has been shaken 

from the roots, stored in a cool, shady 

place. When the old leaves and roots 

are thoroughly dry, they may be 

rubbed off and the clusters of bulbs 

divided. These bulbs may be planted 

as the original bulbs were. In this 

way within a few years a stock of 

bulbs Is very considerably increased.

SCHOOL CHILDREN 

BUY LIGHT SLIDES 

The children and teachers of the 

Frank street school have decided to 

take a step never taken by any local 

public school before. 

Principal A. N. DeLong announced 

this morning that they have definitely 

decided to purchase a $300 set of educatlpnal 

lantern elides, fwhlch will 

deal With historical, Industrial, agricultural 

and many other subjects 

which the youngsters are studying. 

To take such a task on themselves 

means many hours after school hours 

will have to be spent by the teachers 

and children, who will pay for the 

slides by giving entertainments and 

programs. The spirit of oo-operatlon 

and optimism, which the children 

and teachers show about the task Is 

ample witness of what success they 

will have In soon owning the slides.

14 KALAMAZOO TELEGRAPH-PRESS. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1915, 

ALL KALAMAZOO SOCIETIES ARE 

UNITING TO MAKE SUCCESS 

OF MASONIC EVENT. 

Ten thousand arctlcles have been 

contributed for the Masonic Fair already, 

although it does not open until 

Oct. H. 

And according to the men In 

charge of tho fair many of the gifts 

are coming not from tho Masons 

themselves and the Protestants of the 

city, but from the Roman Catholics 

of Kalamaoo. That shows the spirit 

of co-operation which has been evidenced 

so far by the men of the city. 

The Masons are giving generously, but 

not all of them have been approached 

yet. One of the greatest satisfactions 

of the entire campaign, according to 

$he workers, is that that few—eight 

ten—who at. first refused to have 

anything to do with the Masonic Fair 

and refused to make any contributions, 

are now of their own accord 

without further Invitation, sending In 

contributions to swell the success of 

the Fair. 

To Raise $25,000. 

The aim of the committee Is to raise 

>25.000 on the debt of the beautiful 

Masonic Temple- 

The Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias 

and Elks, as well aa many other 

Socal fraternal orders, are to be united 

,to help and will be assigned various 

nights on which they are to take 

charge of the Fair and help the Ma- 

Vons. To Rave Shrtners Night, 

The opening night of the two week's 

fair October 11. is to be Shriners* 

nlglit. On that night Shriners from 

this part of the state are invited to 

fce here. The Salladln Patrol with 100 

men In it, will be here from Grand 

•Rapids. The men will appear in Arab 

Costume. Then too, the band of the 

Salladln Temple, with 43 pieces will 

: l)e here. The Patrol will give a drill 

!jn front of the Temple Monday night 

'and then take part in a parade with 

'all the other Shriners who are here 

ifor the occasion. They will then go 

fjto the Fair in a body. 

All day today—the Masonic Fair 

headquarters has held open house for 

the Shriners, who are here for the big 

Kleld day. Punch and cigars have been 

Served all the guests.

—and the Cadillac "Eight" stands all alone 

DO you wish to know how good a car this new Cadillac 

is"? 

Follow your own thoughts: 

You will find that you are thinking what the nation is thinging. 

Look back a little bit. 

A few years ago the storm raged around the Cadillac. 

A dozen or more cars sold at pproximately the same price. 

All claimed equality with the Cadillac. 

The Cadillac field was the coveted field—because it was a quality 

field. 

These dozens or more cars struggled to find a place in it, because 

they were eager to share in Cadillac success. 

And, now ,how do things stand? 

A limited market above the Cadillac in price—and a large market 

below. 

And in the center, as solid as a rock, the great Cadillac clintele 

—greater, and stronger, and more solid than ever. 

When you search for a car to compare with the Cadillac do you 

look downward. 

It is not likely. 

And yet many a man in past years has thought that he was buy. 

ing as good as the Cadillac, because he was paying an approximate 

price. 

He cannot think that now, because these cars have removed 

themselves from the Cadillac field. 

Tlie stonn that once raged around the Cadillac still rages,—but 

it is in another zone. The Cadillac is out of it, and above it. 

In its own great quality class the Cadillac stands alone—all 

alone. 

The Cadillac owner does not believe that its equal exists. 

And if you are looking for its equal—where will you look T 

You must first find a car of equally fine construction. 

If you search for equality with the Cadillac, where else will 

you find such workmanship? 

Again—in your search for a car equal to the Cadillac, you must 

find a car of equal experience in V-type engitie construction. 

The Cadillac has brought the V-type principle to a state of comparative 

perfection in the building of 13,000 V-type eight 

cylinder cars. 

Where will you look for a like experience—for equal certainty 

—for such positive insurance? 

What is the utmost you desire in a car? 

Your friend who owns a Cadillac already has it. 

He cannot think of any respect in which its efficiency could be 

improved. 

Jn freedom from gear shifting, in ease of control, in swift acceleration, 

in hill climbing ability, in comfort and luxury, 

in all the things which contribute to ideal motorig, the Cadillac 

owner will tell you that he has them in superlative degree. 

,In his mind—in your mind—in the mind of the nation—is not 

the standing of the Cadillac absolutely fixed? 

In all the things which constitute quality—the highest known 

quality—is it not universally accepted as a standard? 

Your choice therefore, is rendered simpler than ever before. 

You are freed from the distraction of many claims of equality 

which may once have confused you. 

You know what the Cadillac offers: 

—engineering pre-eminence, 

—and social pre-eminence, 

—unequalled V-type experience, 

—the enthusiastic endorsement of 13,000 owners, 

—mechanical construction representing the highest 

type of fine manufacturing extant, 

*—and an established record of luxury, long life and 

endurance. 

We repeat—you know that you get these qualities in the Cadillac. 

Where else could you get them ?

CATAM/MOO OFFERS EXCELLENT 

ADVANTAGES AS CITY FOR 

CONVENTIONS. 

T 

Restiuirants in This City Number 

Fifty-two, With Sixteen Good 

Hotels. 

x 

Kalamazoo may well be termed an 

Meal convention city. It offers to soiieties, 

fraternal clubs, business and 

itate organizations, more inducements 

is a convention place, than any other 

6ity of 50,000 people in the state. 

Pew residents of Kalamaaoo real-, 

tse the large number of hotels and 

restaurants that the city maintains 

On the license book in the city treasurer's 

office there are scheduled 62 

restaurants, all doing a prosperous 

business. There are more than 16 

rood hotels in the city, of from 40 to 

100 rooms each, and nearly a halfhundred 

reputable rooming houses. 

Hotels Finest in State. 

Kalamazoo has three of the linest 

hotels in the state, considering the 

•ize of the town, and two of them 

ftffer convention halls and committee 

rooms, beautifully furnished, for 

the use of visitors meeting here in 

conference. 

' T' 1 ^ Park-American hotel, located 

on Main street, built by Charles 

Hays, ard under the management of 

Ernest McLcan. is exceptionally well 

arranged for conventions, and the 

management caters to this kind of 

trade. The largest convention hall 

Is located in the basement of the hotel 

and will seat between 800 and 

1,000 people. It is beautiful in design, 

and is equipped with a modern 

ventilating system which keeps 

the air clear during smokers or similar 

gatherings. Adjoining it are committee 

rooms. The Park-American 

also has one large dining-room and 

a grill room, both adaptable for large 

banquets. Service and cuisine are of 

the best. 

Equaling the Park-American in all 

respects is the New Burdick hotel on 

West Main street. The New Burdick, 

as the Park-American, has a large 

convention hall, beautiful In design 

and arrangement. It has many committee 

rooms and waiting rooms for 

convention visitors. The Burdick not 

only has two large dining-rooms, but 

a quick lunch counter, making it possible 

for the busy man to acquire a 

lunch in a hurry. 

Equipment All Modern. 

Besides the corridor and general 

lounging room, the Burdick has two 

ladies' parlors, one of which is located 

on the first floor and another on 

the second. 

These are Kalamazoo's two best hotels 

and they probably cause more 

favorable comment than any two hotels 

in any one city the size of Kalamazoo 

in the state. 

Besides the Burdick and Park- 

American, there are the Rickman and 

Columbia hotels, both large, and under 

the best of management. These 

four represent the city's largest hotels, 

while the Holt, Savoy, Library- 

Park, Berghoff an$l Ehrmann are 

smaller, but clean and favorable stopping 

places. With its large number of 

hotels the city is equal to care for 

crowds on most any occasion. 

PEOPLE'S OUTFITTING OO.

Beautiful decorations and elaborate 

window displays will mark the store 

of the People's Ountfltting company

SPRAGUE HARDWARE CO. 

PLANS MANY FEATURES 

For the benefit of the visitors to 

Kalamazoo during Prosperity Week 

the Sprague Hardware company has 

planned an unusually fine series of 

window displays and special values 

which will be a revelation to the 

visitors from out of town. 

Kalamazoo patrons of this store 

are well informed in regard to its 

splendid values. However the visitors 

will be given an idea in the unique 

methods which the management will 

adopt in the display of their goods. 

Special bargains will be offered each 

day during the entire week and the 

store will be most popular with the 

Prosperity week crowds. 

View, but the name has been superseded 

by that of the park. The lake 

Itself is a placid body about half a 

mile in length and the same distance 

wide. Boating has been found to be 

extremely tasteful to the haunters of 

the park. 

On account of the treachery of the 

lake, there has been no attempts to 

establish a bathing beach at the resort. 

Most popular among the temples 

and modisks of pleasure at the 

park is the mammoth dance hall at 

the end of the grounds. During the 

season dances, admirably orchestraed, 

are held three nights a week.
