Clare made up a purse for him this
week and through the columns of the
Sentinel he wishes us to express hiB
sincerest thanks to his benefactors,
for this and past favors.
At a meeting of the Lansing business men held last week it was decided
to do no further advertising in any of
the various little schemes constantly
being presented to them, but to confine
their advertising entirely to the news
papers. The decision was a wise one,
and Clare merchants would find it
profitable to adopt the Lansing.policy..
as their own. In this connection it
would be also profitable to keep the
fact in mind that the circulation of
the Sentinel nearly equals the combined circulation of all the papers in
Clare county.

tbeir baggage as all the baggage on
their train was destroyed. Mr., H. is
an old railroader and has visited many
wrecks but says this one was the
worst one he ever witnessed. They
were very thankful to escape with

A Grand Success.
The Sunday School Convention held
at'Clare August 21-22 was a grand
success. Some sixteen schools were
represented. The Basley school led
in representation.
Tuesday morning session opened
with very few in attendance, but the
other sessions were well attended, and
when the convention closed Wednesday evening, every one said that It
had been the best and most inspiring
convention ever held in Clare.
The addresses which were most
helpful, were: "The Needs in Sunday
School Work and Normal Class" by Mr.
M, H Reynolds. "Primary Work" by
Miss Clara Bruske; "Spiritual Work"
by Rev. G. H. Maxwell; "Social Work"
by Rev. Younglove: "Instruction of
Children" by Rev. E. R. Clark, of
Saginaw; but best of all was "Best
Things" in which Rev. M. Knowles
showed us what the Sunday school has
done, and Rev. E. R. Clark, led us to
look at the possibilities for the Sunday school of the future.
The young peoples' meeting led by
Asa H. Aldrich was helpful to all.
The following officers were elected
for the county work for another year:
President, Rev, A. C. Barclay; Vice
President, Mrs. 0. B. Chaffee: Secretary, Mr. Asa Alarich; Treasurer, Mr.
Mell Buell. Additional members,
Mrs. Langin, Loomis; Mrs. Dr. BraGy,
Harrison; Rev. G. W. Maxwell, Far.

Shot in the Neck.
Fred, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Doherty, met with a painful
accident Wednesday evening. It appears that Olna Hawkins got possession of a twenty-two caliber t single
shot pistol and went in snucks with
Fred, the latter furnishing the cartridges. They had burned considerable powder that afternoon and 'were
about to seperate in the evening at
eight o'clock and were in front of the
G. A. R. hall on Main street, when
the pistol was acJidently discharged,
the ball -penetrating Fred's neck and
taking an upward course. Dr. Sanford and Dr. Richmond were called,
and yesterday morning Dr. Barbour of
Saginaw was here, but It was decided
not to probe for the bullet. Later the
X-ray may be applied and if the ball
can be located it will be removed.
Fred is resting easily at this writing
and it is hoped nothing serious will
result, but Is It only a wonder he was
not Instantly killed, which would have
been the case had the bullet taken effect in the brain.
We tack no moral onto this, but
trust every boy having an old rusty,
broken-springed pistol of any sort
about his old cloths will go down *to
the bank of the lake, and throwing it
in, say, "Here goes nothing."

Democrats   Give Filipino War a
New Lease of Life.
The democratic national platform
has arrived in the Philippines and is
bearing its logical fruit—dead American soldiers. More American soldiers
were killed in July in the island of
Panay than in any other month since
January, as the result of democratic
encouragement. Encouraged by a.the
democratic denunciation of the American campaign in the Philippines and
by democratic promises of Filipino
independence in the event of the election of Bryan, the Filipinos are making war against our troops with renewed energy. Filipino hostility is
increasing in Luzon, where the rebels
are now using smokeless powder, obtained from filibusters.
The good results that the administration expected from the amnesty
proclamation have been rendered impossible of attainment owing to the
hopes Of independence held out to the
Filipinos In the democratic platform.
Some of the democratic words of cheer
follow:
"We condemn and denounce the
Philippine policy of the present administration. * * * We favor an immediate declaration Of the nation's
purpose to give to the Filipinos first, a
stable form of government; second, in^
dependence; and third, protection
from outside interference.''
.The foregoing part of-the democratic
platform has already cost the lives of
many American)soldiers in the Philippines. Dead: Americans probably Will
be even more numerous when the
Filipinos read the following extract
from Bryan's speech of acceptance:
"If elected l shall convene congress
In extraordinary session as soon as
1 am inaugurated and recommend -an
immediate declaration of the nation's
purpose * * * to give independence
to the Filipinos."—[Detroit Journal.
