On the fifth page of this paper appears an ad for the Foster Furniture

In this dill.
While working for Fred,Lister near
Millersburg last week Milt Lee was
struck by the limb of a tree and the
rieb.*-. arm broken between the elbow
and shoulder. He came at once to
hishctue in Clare where he will remain until he has entirely recovered
from the injury.
E. A. White left last week for Ohio
where he was tendered two positions.
We learn later that he is now in Indianapolis, Indiana, that he likes the
city and having been offered a lucrative
position will doubtless remain there,
in which event his family will at once
move to Indiana's capital.
O wing to the.f act that half of Fourth
street near Gorr's mill is covered with

shaken up, some pretty badly .hurt and
the buggy is nearly a wreck, The
question now is, "Who will pay the
damages?"
We have heard tell of apple trees
blossoming in the fall of the year, but
never until this week have we seen an
apple tree bear full grown roses.
John Hanes of Sheridan brought in a
sprig from one of his apple trees with
a small apple on one sprig and a rose,
on the same sprig. Boundless are the
advantages "Nature has given the human mind for development.
As predicted, the eclipse was visible
in this section of the country and although the sun was in obscurity much
of the time from seven to nine Monday it shone a sufficient length of time
to allow those who thought to get a
view of the eclipse. It was only partial,
about a third not being obscured The
eclipse was caused by the moon passing between the sun and the earth
and caused a total eclipse in some latitudes.
The ball game Wednesday between
Mt. Pleasant and Clare drew a larger
attendance than has a ball game for
some time, but as the visiting team
had the advantage of our boys in
weight, age and practice, they easily
won out, the score standing 10 to 0 in
favor of the visitors. Our battery,
Crepar and Schoonover. though light,
did excellent work and had our playeM
given them better support, the game
would not haye been so onesided.
On the morning train Wednesday
arrived Mrs. Carrie L. Eaton from
Roswell, New Mexico, and she will
here spend'the larger part of her ya-
cation. Mrs. Eaton has taught in
Roswell for three years and likes the
southwest very much. During her
absence from Clare she has seen much
of the'west, having spent much of One
summer traveling in California and
"Old Mexico." While in Oakland, Cali
fornia, she visited at the home of Dt.
and Mrs. Todd, formerly of Clare.
The Passion Play of Oberammergau,
Bavaria, an event of world-wide interest, opened yesterday. The cast is
composed of 900 people, all of whohi
are residents of Oberammergau, arid
this year Anton Lang, junior, a pbt-
ter by tiade, represents Jesus Christ,
and Anna Flunger will represent
"Mary, the mother of Jesus." The
play is put on at regular Intervals'.all
through the summer every ten years,
and people from every nation attend.
The new Passion theatre will seat 5000
people and cost $100,000.
The memorial sermon by Rev. M.
Knowles Sunday was a strong one
and contained many points which are
sure to be remembered by those who
were in attendance. He said it* is ordained that the gospel shall be
preached in all nations and if the missionaries that are sent out by the
church cannot enter these countries
without endangering their lives'; th^t
UuncleSam will send some of his missionaries and with the jrifie make
a way for the peaceful advocaters of
the Christian principles. Of the two
it is far more expensive to send the
latter. , '■/$
O. W, Perry and J. A. Jackson left
Tuesday for "New York from which
port tomorrow they sail for Europe.
It is their intention to take in the
world's fair at Paris and visit the
various points of interest in England,
France, Switzerland, and Germany,
and they will doubtless witness the passion play at Oberammergau, Bavaria.
Before leaving, tbeir friends gave them
a little party at the home of Mr,
Jackson. There is no doubt these
gentlemen will get their money's
worth. The Sentinel bids them
godsped and wishes them a safe return.
The date of the republican state
convention is fixed and will be held at
Grand Ranids, dune 27. Though It
was understood that our esteemed
townsman, D. E. Alward, the present
efficient reading clerk of the national
house of'representatives, was to be
made chairman of the state central
committe, he was elected at Grand
Rapids this week without opposition.
Mr. Alward having had practical experience in managing campaigns heretofore and having a wide acquaintance
wi fch the workers of the party in-the
state, no better man could be selected
for the place.
We called upon Prof. O. B. Chaffee
the first of the week and while there
he showed us some very interesting
relics of antiquity which he has from
time to time collected. From an excavation on the banks of Seneca lake,
"New York, he has an Indian peace
pipe made from burned blue clay and
this pipe was doubtless used in settling many disputes in days long gone
by. He also has an Indian skull taken
from the same place, besides many
arrow heads. A large number of
skeletons were found in this locality,
which is not strange when we stop to
consider that this was the place where
in 1779 Gen. Sullivan fought and defeated the Indians, inflicting a great
loss to the foe. Mr. Chaffee has a nice
collection of canes, one especially being a valuable article, it having been
cut from timber preserved since 1790.
The fireman's concert at the opera
house last Monday night was well attended and the performances well appreciated, proof ot which is shown by
the fact that every person appearing
on the program received an encore.
Miss Bemice Cook of Mt. Pleasant appeared in several vocal solos and
though her voice is not heavy, she
sang charmingly. Will Adams made
a great hit when he sang, a song
especially composed for the benefit of
the city council exalting (?) that
worthy body for the tender care they
haye taken of the city park, and the
trustees of the Congregational church
for providing the excellent cement walk
(?) in front of the church property.
What was said of Wm. Hirzel's performances at the concert one year ago
may well be repeated as applying on
this occasion, except that time improves Wm's ability along this line.
The firemen netted about $27 from
the entertainment,

Mrs. Benj. Daugherty.
After but a week's' illness, at her
home in this city, occurred the death
of Mrs. Benj. Daugherty, on Friday
of last week, as briefly noted in the
Sentinel.
Deceased was bom iu Wayne county,
Ohio, February 28, 1852, and came
with her parents to Mt. Pleasant nine
years later, in 1869 she was united
in marriage with Benjamin Daugherty
and with him moyed to Clare in 1879,
which place has since been her home.
Mrs. Daugherty waB mother of four
children, three of whom still survive:
Edwin, of Boyne City, James and
"Nettie of Clare. Besides these she
leaves a husband. She was a devoted
member of the church of God, and, a
respected member Of the W. R. 0.; a
mother who lived for her children, and
was well respected by a large circle of
acquaintances.
The funeral was conducted from the
home Sunday at two o'clock p. m.,
Rev. Barclay officiating and the remains laid at. rest in Cherry Grove
cemetery. Both her sons belotsging,
or having belonged, to the fire, department, that body attended the funeral
in uniform.
Those attending the funeral from
outside the city are: Her mother, Mrs.
"N". J. HasKell of Mt» Pleasant, James
Brady and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Brady of Gratiot county, Mr. and Mrs.
Orvie Alger, Wm. and Solomon
Daugherty aud wives and Mrs. P.
Gardner Of Mt* Pleasant. The Sen
tinbi. joins the many friends of the
family in this expression of sVmpathy.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our sincerest
thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us in these
dark hours, and to the Are department and all others whose kind deeds
will be remembered.
Benj. Daugherty and Family.
Think.
I speak lor the mothers, I speak lor the Wives,
I speak for the lost and blighted lives;
I speak for childhood degraded through drink,
And ah, men of Clare, I ask you to think.
Oh I Judge on y'r bench, pray think of it -well,
That the license "you grant sends men into
hell;.
Oh! Lawyer plead as you'd plead for y'r life,
Against the Saloon that breeds danger and
strife.
Oh, Minister all of God's judgments show,
Against those who give of this dark cup of
■woe;
And that none a home in heaven may win.
Who drink or who sell of this liquid of sin.
Would you draw helpless ones from Chasm's
brink?
Or back from the task would you shrink,
Would you say my own are all safe and secure,
And why should I trouble for others' endure?
Would you idly stand or with actions tame,
When y'r home was enwrapped in a aery
Samel 2"
Or unarmed and helpless would you stand, •
WhUe the foeman's fleet approaohed y'r land.
Oh, No; you are men and Would dare not do,
To the helpless .and weak you ore constant,
true;
But you list to the song the Syren sings
And think, not of the woe and sorrow it brings.
Oh think of each lost and ruined life,
Of the hungry ohlld and wretched wife;
Of the helpless slaves of the demon,—drink,
Whatthey might be y'r owp; oh, my brother,
think.
