Clare has not had a are for some
time until Tuesday when, a high north
wind prevailing, the alarm was sounded. The Are originated in tbe back
rooms over Duncan's saloon, and while
the prompt response of the firemen
soon extinguished the flames, it was
not until fire, smoke and water had
done five or six hundred dollars' wortb
of damage. The building and contents were insured.
In another column we publish a
resolution passed by the board ot
aldermen last night, which practically
suspends business and pleasure. The
citv schools are closed, church services,
lodge meetings, and all public gatherings prevented. Deputy marshals
are appointed and their duty will be
to keep children off the street and see
to it that a strict quarantine is maintained of the homes infested with the
prevailing disease. Parents should
see to it that their children are not
let run at large, thus saving the
officers the painful duty of locking
them up in tbe city jail.

an engine whistle on the P. M. tracks
near the depot felt reasonably sure of a

managed the team, swinging them
around, just missing the moving train.
Most of the load jumped, none receiving serious Injuries but Mrs. A. S.
Rhoades, who was thrown to the
ground with such force she was quite
badly injured, but at this writing is
pfetty well recovered.

For   County    School     ComiijH'
sioner.
Among the important positions to
be filled at the approaching spring
election, which occurs the first Monday in April, in which the Deople of
Clare county are specially interested
is that of County School Commissioner.
The legislature when passing the
law creating this office wisely provided that the incumbent should be possessed of educational qualifications, of
a high order, so that the educational
interests should not sufffer through an
incompetent official.
At the republican convention held
at Clare lasc week, the delegates having in mind this provision of this law,
canvassed tbe situation carefully in
order imat their selection might fall
upon a man not alone possessing the
necessary educational qualifications,
but one who through experience- and
training would oe specially fitted to
perform the responsible duties of the
office in a manner satisfactory alike to
teachers, scholars add taxpayers—one
whose aim would be to advance the
educational interests of the county in
every possible manner.
Tbe candidate of the republican
party, Edgar G, Welch, of Clare,
comes as near filling the bill in these
particulars as any one in the county,
and the convention made a wise
choice in selecting him as a candidate.
Mr. Welch has been a resident of
Clare county for twenty years, and is
a graduate of the Clare high school.
He has had six years of experience in
teaching, one year of this as principal
of the school at Woodland, Barry
county, giving him a thorough insight
into the yery best methods of conducting both city and country schools.
He also attended the Ypsilanti
State Normal, graduating on the
three year or short course in 1897, and
now holds a state certificate granted
him by that institution.
Thus it will be seen that so far as
educational qualifications go Mr.
Welch stands Al; while he Is known
to be enthusiastic tn educational work
and takes a great interest in every
thing pertaining thereto.
For the past two years he has been
proDrietor of the Sentinel at Clare,
and through his work in this profession has become thoroughly and favorably known throughout the county.
The Cleaver heartily endorses his
candidacy and will have more to say
on the matter as the campaign progresses.—Harrison Cleaver.
Ella Harris is dead.
But a few days ago, Miss'Harris was
apparently in the best of health.
Last night about twelve o'clock her
remains were buried in Cherry Grove
cemetery without ceremony. Dr.
Gray the attending physician, who
signed her certificate of death, gave
as the immeaiate cause of her
death, neuralgia of the heart, and
also stated to the writer that deceased
had an attack of grip and small pox.
Deceased has lived in Clare many
years and the news of her death
brings an especial sadness to her many
frieuds coming as it doesv She was a
devout Christian, being a member of
the Baptist church. She leaves a
father and one sister to whom the
news of her death is a severe -ihock,
and who have the sympathy of every
citizen.

A Bill May Pass   Giving   Them
