Jay Pray lives at Wbitmore Lake Pray, what does Jay Pray? He folows the trade of caipenter, and does lot prey when he does pray. He is to auild a clnb bonse for a lot of Uuiversity professors. Say, if they wish to ase canteen bait, let tbem, Pray. Sometime ago, complaints were made and six Ann Arbor business men were arrested, charged with violating the provisions of the Miohigan liqnor law. Oue of those brilliant detectives, that tbe Toledo mud hens farnisb, had been employed to seoure evidence and drinks. On Iris investigations, the oomplaints were founded. Tbis week a hearing was had and tbe defendants were disoharged as the proseoutors donbted the suffioienoy of tbe testimony. In fact, it is not certain that any of the men arrested, keep a saloon or ever saw liqnor. The sheriff almost oried, beoause the evidence was so weak. He bas labored so hard to enforce the law there. Chelsea has two savings banks, and the two bad on band May 5th over $5,400 in gold, and lots of greenbacks and national bank notes. They oan't get a ponnd more of meafc for one of the gold dollars than for the 50 cent silver oart wheela of which they had uiighty few. And it is not becanse the silver or the cnrrency dollars conld be redeemed in eitber, beoanse they conldn't redeein half tbeir paper money with the gold they had ou hand and eaoh had about $100,000 paper money loaned out, too. Talk about yonr gold standard, giving valne to cnrenoy! VVhy, if it wasn't for Unole Sam's flat, those gold standard institotions could not pay ten oents on a dollar in gold. Ho more oonld tbe nation.
