statements—at the beginning of each

are already sending in their bills.
D, E. McClure'8 lecture at the opera
house last Friday evening, "The onward movement in education," was
well attended and as well appreciated.
Tbe Speaker, who is deputy superintendent of public instruction, is well
onto the educational needs of the
state, and it is only to be regretted
that more parents were not in attendance.
The real, downright, dirty thieves
are not all dead yet as is evident from
the fact that Thursday night someone
entered the stable of Rev. W. H.
Bodine and appropriated a good set of
double light harness. We do not advocate hanging a man for theft as thev
do In the West, but we are conyinced
that until more stringent laws are
passed will this petty thieving be
successfully checked.
It is quite generally known that the
government now offer books of stamps
so made that they will stick only when
you want them to, even on the hottest
days. Postmaster Kirkbride informs
us that he now has them for sale at
the office here and already, among the
businessmen especially, they are haying a lively sale. Uncle Sam looks
well to the interests of his people as
this last improvement in the postal
service shows.
DeWitt Miller appeared at the opera
house Monday evening, his being the
last number on our splendid lecture
course. Mr. Miller was expected to
speak on the subject, The Uses of
Ugliness, but having been informed
that our people could digest itj he gave
a heavier lecture, thesubject of which
was, Is the Republic Sufficient unto
Itself? His effort was of tbe highest,
not one sentence being uttered but
had its effect upon the audience. He
was perfectly familiar with a large
number of words Jn a book compiled
by one Noah Webster and put them
together, expressing the profoundest
thought. No political party can
take exception to the lecture as a
whole, but when we say this we do not
mean that he avoided everything political. Without exception Mr, Miller
delivered the strongest lecture ever
giyen in Clare, and this number closing the course, made all feel that we
have had an exceptionally good course
and already a movement is on for a
still better course for next season.
It is quite generally known that in
the near future the Sentinel will appear as a twelve page paper running a
four page supplement which will be
highly illustrated by fifty or more half
tone cuts of our representative business and professional men and the
store and residence buildings, besides
many of our mills, factories, and public buildings. This will be one of the
finest editions ever gotton out in the
history of Clare and every citizen
should take enough interest in his city
toseeto.it that his friends are sent
copies of this edition. None but newspaper men know the work and worry
an extra edition of this nature costs,
but having a very competent pressman,
Mr. Ray-M. Howe, we feel equal to
the occasion. In order that this edition might be gotten out it was necessary for us to do the work at the very
lowest figure, and all we get out of the
edition is the profit on extra copies.
Any number of papers less than 100
willcostpthe purchaser five cenos per
copy. Prices on larger numbers will
be made on application. We will
soon order the stock and in order that
all may be supplied we shall be glad to
have you call or address us as the
number you want. This shouid be
done at an early date.
Republican   County   Convention.
Delegates from the various townships and wards met at the county
seat yesterday. Dr. E. B. Evans was
made chairman and John Quinn secretary. About twenty-five delegates
were in attendance, who accomplished
the object for which they convened
and the meeting adjourned, everything passing off smoothly. S. 0.

well were elected delegates to attend
tbe state convention at Detroit May
3d. W. M. Temple of Temple, John
Fleming of Grandon and W. H.
Browne of Harrison were elected delegates to the congressional convention
at Reed City May 1st. A resolution
was offered by S. C. Kirkbride to the
effect that each voting precinct have
one delegate to each twenty-five or
major fraction of voters in that precinct the previous year, but in no
case should a precinct have less than
one vote. An amendment was made
and passed that each precinct have at
least two delegates. This effects only
one township, Sammerfield, and will
give her two delegates. Those attending as delegates from Clare are:
S. C. Kirkbride, 0. H. Clark, Marion
Dehart, A. A. Shaver, L, E. Davy, E.
G. Welch.
