Washtenaw County Endeavors will meet in convention in the First Presbyterian church, Ypsiianti, Friday, Oct. 5th. Sessions at 9:30 a. m., 1:30 p. m. and 7:15 p.m. It is thought that the parties who smashed the semaphore at Ypsiianti will "soon be in the net." The game law in such cases permits their hunt and capture the rear round. One of fhe cushions of the street cars has been stolen. The miscreant should be tarred and feathered. The street cars mean too rnuch to the city to be treatedin that fashion. There will be a meeting of the prohibition club on Monday eve., Oct. ist, at the I. O. G. T. hall on State street. All prohibitionists, men and women, are cordially invited. Capt. Robert Campbell, of Packard street, was presented with a medal at the recent reunión o: Sweitzer's brigade in Pittsburg, Pa. He acted as one of the last commanders of the oíd Fourth Michigan Infantry. On Tuesday, at 23 Packard street, occurred the doublé wedding of D. Murray Cowie, of Moncton, N. B., to Esther L. Bush, of Hartford, Conn. , and Ezra H. Mathewson, o Ann Arbor, to A. Daisy Grant, of Springfield, Ohio. The street cars carried eight or nine thousand passengers, VVednesday and Thursday.

At Ypsilanti, Tuesday, in the Gun I Club shoot, the Dodge brothers,1 made the highest score, S. E. Dodge ! killing 22 and D. B. Dodge 19 out! of a possible 25. 1 At the national conference of i Unitarians, in session at Saratoga this week, Mrs. Eliza R. Sunderland, of Ann Arbor, delivered an address on "The Religious Field." Our esteemed daily contemporary, ;he Times, is out in a new dress - latest fall fashion. The Argus extends congratulations. The print is a little larger than the old type, and Deople with bad eyesight will rise up and cali it blessed. Miss Cora E. DePuy, of the Democrat, has written a story entitled "The Workingman's Tariff," which lias been found to be of sufficient merit to attract the attention of the democratie campaign committee. The first edition will be circulated at once. Engene K. Frueauff, long time aithful and painstaking correspondent of the Detroit Tribune, has ceased to act as that paper's representative. Mr. Frueauff is a careful, correct correspondent and has from time to time furnished the Tribune with interesting interviews on scientific and other questions. The Tribune loses a correspondent that t can poorly afford to spare. One of the marked features of the display made at our fair was that of Mack & Schmid and would do credit to the largest Metropolitan ïouse. Their display of genuine seal coats, capes, mink and martin 'arments, cloth garments imported rom Berlín and Paris; jRoyal Benjal Tiger rugs worth $300 to $400; real Moquette and Japanese rugs, n sizes up to 9 feet by 12, are joods not usually seen at county airs. These goods are now all in sale at The Store at very low prices this week. Some person who appears to have thought that one of the mail boxes was a trap to catch watches, dropped a ladies' silver timer into it the other night. What the purpose of this lunacy could have been, has not been discovered, but it hardly outdoes a previous performance of about a year or so ago, when the carrier, opening the box, found therein, a nest of pups. It would not be surprising if some fine morning the carriers would find the mail boxes converted into horse stables or street-car barns. The October term of the circuit court will open Monday. The jury will begin to chew tobáceo and charge up time to the county, early on Oct. 2. Twenty-four criminal cases ornament the calendar, and there are 46 issues of fact, 2 imparlence, 1 issue of law, 32 various kinds of chancery cases, 11 applications for divorce, and 13 for violating liquor laws. Altogether it is a nice, fat docket, and there is money in it, for the lawyers, and satisfaction for some of the litigants. Under the heading "Lost or Stolen," in Wednesday 's Times, appears the advertisement of a missing whistle and the request that "if any small boy finds it please return to Willie Baxter at postoffice." The whistle is the personal property of Mail Carrier Baxter, and in the interest of the city pigs it is to be hoped he will soon recover it. Several owners of the privileged porker report driving Baxter away from their pens, where he was found, knife in hand, trying for a pigs tail, which, they do say, makes a capital whistle, although there are carpers who assert that it makes f a poor whistle and spoils a good tail. The item in the last issue of the Argus relating to Mrs. Naylor was incorrect in certain particulars. To begin with, the name should have been Mrs. Geo. Naylor instead of Mrs. M. Naylor. Then the check which was sent her was for $15,000 instead of $17,000. She also receives one-fourth of the income on a property at Rochester valued at $700,000. This amounts to something like $4,000 a year. Mr. John M. Naylor received from the same source a check for $5,000 and the income on one-fourth of the above mentioned property. After about three weeks spent in the west, hunting, he will go to Rochester, New York, to live. He will start for Jackson Port about October 5. í First faculty roncen next Thursday evening. Miss Matie Carr and Jacob A. Gwinner were married Wednesday by Rev. W. L. Tedrow. at his residence. The marriage of Miss Nellie Kyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Kyer, to Walter F. Seabolt is announced to take place Oct. 9. The street cars have a full complement of cars in service, including open trailers, and have done a fine carrying business during the fair. The handsome cars, with their handsome conductors and motormen, have proved almost as much of an attraction as the fair itself. That very base incendiary sheet, the Grass Lake News, calis the Manchester ball club "turnip eaters" and hopes the home nine will take no notice of the late challenge of "those windy gas bags." Manchester would now go over and wipe out Grass Lake if the president of the United States would keep the troops from meddling. The Light Infantry committee to arrange for a dramatic entertainment n the future, is called to meet Monday evening. The committee s composed as follows: Lieut. dranger, chairman; Capt. J. C. fuscher, Lieut. Armstrong, Sergeants Walters, Fischer, Dieterle, and Gwinner; Corps. Cooper, Binder, Gasser, Seabolt, and Gates; privates E. J. Koch, Sam Jones, and Karl riarriman.
