Here is a little swindle, one that
may profit our farmers to keep an eye
open for: A farmer-looking fellow
will call having samples of corn. The
ears will be from five to eight times
tbe size of ordinary ears of corn, which
be alleges he raised from seed sent
him by his brother, who is engaged in
farming in a distant land, He offers
to sell one hundred grains for 25 cents
or the whole ear for'two dollars, The
victim buys only to find later on it
is nothing but ordinary corn. A number of ears of corn are dextrously cut
and the sections are glued together to
form one large ear. If the swindler
comes, boot him off the premises.

THE CONCERT,
Given at Opera House Wednesday
Evening was a Success Socially and Financially.
The concert bad been well advertised and the character of the performers being known, assured those in
charge of a gooa house, the proceeds
being over $60.
Kirkbride's orchestra was at its
best, and while the organization is
appreciated by a large number of our
music loying citizens, in the past we
feel that it has not received the support it has merited. The orchestra
has furnished music on all occasions
and has furnished the music at their
own expense, but we feel tbat the
citizens are coming to realize more
and more the pleasure and benefit derived by having a first class orchestra,
and that they will stand loyally by
them in the future.
The entire program was rendered by
home talent and our citizens may well
feel proud of the participants. We
make brief mention of the various
numbers, and did space allow we
might comment more fully.
M. J. Ash, the Irish commedian, appeared in the clog dance and so well
did he please the audience that he
received an encore. Mike showed
that he can Clog with any of them.
Frank B. Doherty in the drill and
song entitled, "Military Mollie," made
a great hit, and received an encore.
He wa9 a general favorite with the
audience all thru the entertainment.
Many were the compliments given
little Hilda Dunlop, all of which she
was well deserving. Her recitation
was entitled, "Papa's Little Typewriter Girl" which was composed by
her papa. Dr. John W. Dunlop.
Mrs. Gerald E. Lamb appeared twice
on the stage in vocal solos which were
classical and well received.
A. R. Canfleld took on the make-up
of a typical farmer legislator, and his
remarks, which were to the point and
well put, were directed toward the recent mix-up at Lansing. His product
was thoroly enjoyed.
Will Adams is naturally adapted to
the stage, and having had considerable
training along this line, showed to the
audience, that, when he is seconded
by an actor like Mr. Wm. Hirzel,
whose every movement and utterance
received the rapt attention . of the
audience, he is "smooth," to use a
stage expression. Wm. Hirzel certainly showed his cleaverneess on this
occasion and left impressions indillibly
impressed on tho minds of his audience.
Mr. Irish has appeared in Clare on
several occasions and his readings are
well appreciated, nor was his appearance on this occasion an exception.
Business in connection with city
affairs at Harrison prevented Mayor
Mussell from appearing as scheduled.
Frank B. Doherty appeared in a
trombone solo and seemed to be putting his whole soul into his effort—but
on stopping to get "second wind" the
solo continued—it was Regg Wait be
hind the curtain who was doing the-
playing.
' Mrs. G.  E.  Lamb  and Frank  Bt
Doherty appeared in a pleasing song
entitled, Ambolena Snow, which was
well received.
The calk walk, the participants ift
which were, Herb. Sexsmith, Floyd
Doherty, Lee Dunwoodie, Ray Hol-
brook, Otis Halstead and Frank Kelley, was one of the finest numbers on-
the program, all dressing in a very becoming manner. The costumes of
Floyd Doherty and Herb. Sexsmith
were "out of sight." It was intended
to award a prize to the best couple,
but they all did so well it was almost
impossible to decide and tbe decision,
was not made.
Circuit Court.
Just as we go to press our reporter
appears and we give briefly an account
of the proceedings.
In the case of Nichols vs. township*
of Arthur the jury found that the account of relator was allowed by the-
township board,. Several issues of law-
remain to be decided, and the case may
go to the supreme court.
The case of Holbrook vs, city of
Clare was stricken from the calendar,
complaintant paying costs,
The Bostwick vs. Doberty;oase resulted in a verdict for defendant.!,?"
In the Davis and Eager diyorCe cases,,
testimony was heard and cases test
with Judge Dodds for decision,
