The Valley City is seldorn if ever btliind hand in any great enterpiise. The latest from that hustlIng city is the Grand Rapids Medical College, and it began grinding out physicians and surgeons, on the lst of September. Dr. Schuyler C. Graves, U. of M. medie '81, is dean of thls new college, and Dr. Collins H. Johnstone, lit. '81, and medie '84, is the registrar. Both are eminent and successful phssicians. With all the other startling things happening here in Ann Arbor, comes another. As the milk wagon of Fred B. Braun was rolling into town last Thursday morning, the driver noticed a snake in the street while on Broadway, Xorthside. He at once got out and killed his suakeship, which proved to be a rattler- we mean a rattlesnake. This is no fish story; It is a snake story, and can be substantiated by ampie evidence. J. F. Schuh has the contract tor the Bot water work, heating Prof. Trueblood's new house. A Tiercé heater will be used. Also the plumbing of Mrs. E. A. Bpence's house.

Aim st. Th is the council eonfirmed at a special meeting Monday evening In a law suit whioh was tried at Kawsouville Monday, Capt. E. P. Allen, and Chas. K. Whitman were opposing counsel. Whitman started out with a few personal flings, and before the Captain had done With liim, those attending, said that there wasn't enough left of the Ex-Regent to put on the under side of a fly speek. The people of Kawsonville had a treat better than a theatrical performance. The Trinity Lutheran, is the title of a new montkly publication, the first number of which was issued last week. Eev. W. L. Tedrow, pastor of the English Lutheran society, is the editor and he is assisted in various departments by Fred H. Belser, sup't of the Sunday School, and H. W. Schwab, president of the Y. P. 8. C. E. It is a four-page, four-column paper, and will no doubt be an advantage to the pastor in nis work. The secretary of state has recen tly received a nuniber of letters from various parts of the state saying that township or village elerks, actïng as registrars of deaths under the new law which took effect Aug. 29, are charging ;v fee of '1 cents to persons applying for burial or reraoval permita. No sucli fee is authorized by the law and there is absolutely no charge to the public, the fee being paiil by warrant on the county treasurer the tsame as in the old law. From the Trinity Lutheran : "The pastor and liin i'amily spent two weeks of their vacation at Klinger Lake- a beautiful sunimer resort on the Lake Shore road about inidway between Toledo and Chicago. The third week was sspeut with relatives and friends in Constantine. Wliile there thejT had the pleasure of attending the wedding of Frank Hess, of this city, and Kose Cranston, of Constantine. It was a very pleasant occasion." It seems that Lawyer Sawyer who was owner of Ann Arbor's opera house gave "tick," and now he wants thoae who owe for admissions on tick, instead of on ticket, to bring in that percentage of prosperity l;is party has provided, and no longer be common debtors. So far, none have made adinissions of receiving prosperity, and a few kick and say the shows were no good any how. But we guess they were better than Sawyer's show oï getting what ought to be due him.- Adrián Press. Say, Bro. Stearns, you don't know Mr. Sawyer. Alderman Hamilton of Ann Arbor, served as a niember of the board of review, and refused to take the allowance of $3 per day, claiming that he served in such capacity as alderman, and as no salary attaches to that position he would not accept the legal recompense. Here's a spirit of patriotic eelf sacrifice that we wish was shared by proprietors of Ann Arbor boarding houses, that rates demanded, might be in closer touch with the valué oí services renflered.- Adrián Press. Ann Arbor boarding houses are not different from those ol' other places in their demands or services. The great trouble with them is that they are too often made victims of young men without honor, wlio nkip out leaving either the boarding Jiouse keeper to stand the loss or else to in turn beat the grocers and meat men out of it. A cash in advance system would brlng about the "closer touch" the Press speaks of. I Miss Margare! HutcMnson left her ) lióme here in Aun las1 Tuesáay to go to school at Kalamazoo.
