Claudius Grant for Justice
of the Supreme Court
Gets 248 Majority
In County.
Hon. rmr f. Dodds
Carries Every Town and  City in
the  County—Majority in  the
County Being ,4-12 and   in
the Circuit Over 2,000.
The flrsb elecbions of 1899 occurred
on Monday of this week. Michigan
has the distinction of holding bhe only
state election thus far of the year. A
justice of the supreme court and two
regents of the University of Michigan
were elected. Besides these state officers thirby-six circuit judges and
aboub one hundred mayorsin thecities
of the second and third classes were
chosen. The Republicans swept the
state by an estimated pleuraliby of
30,Gu0. This is an excellent showing
on a very light vote. The circuit and
ciby elecbions made a good aggregate
showing for the Republican party. It
is evident that no reaction from 1896
ha.-- seb in, and that if a presidenbial
eit-cbion had been held Monday the result would have been not only a Republican viebory but the plurality
would have heen quibe as large as it
NVas^n 1890, when McKinley polled
56,808 more votes in Michigan than
Bryan out of a grand tobal of 544.492.
Judging from the usual i'ali.ing off in
tte aggregate vote, the Rcbublican
percentage is more than sustained in
the state.
In the city election 3 b was frigid day
for the union silyer forces as the Republicans carried the city for the first
time in several years, Treasurer Buell
leading the van with the round majority of 77.
In the first ward J. L. Welch made
Bumr* hustle like the Coonville fire department, Mr, Welch losing by merely
bumoity, bump, bufiap.
In the second ward T. S. Dorsey won
out with 17 votes.
In the third ward, R. U. Jenney, for
alderman, led them a merry dance,
having J. C. Rockafellow, for supervisor, a close second, and "A. W. Mcln-
tyre for justice came in under the wire
handsomely with several laps to spare.

OBITUARY.
"Ben" Jackson.
[JOHN AlfllBlU) JACKSON.")
Ben Jackson, the fourth son of Mr.
and Mis. George Jackson, of this city,
died at the family residence on Saturday morning, April 1st, after an illness
of aboub 48 hours, bhe cause of death
being brain fever,
Ben was born in Trenton, Ontario,
March 22,1880, and was consequently
10 years and 10 days of age at the time
of his death.
Besides a mother and fabher, tbe deceased leaves four-brothers and scores
of friends bo mourn his,'early demise.
Tbe news of Ben's deabh spread rapidly and it came to many like a bolt of
lightning out of a clear sky as but few
were aware of his illness.
Tbedsceased was a boy of unusally
bright intellect, courteous and kind
and yery gentlemanly m behavior and
had by his sterling qualities endeared
himself to the people at large in the
city of Clare. He was ever ready to
lend a ban dwberever and ab whatever he was asked, his answers being
always accompanied by "yes, sir" or
"no, sir" as the case warranted. The
writer, as well as scores of obhers, always had a tender feeling for Hal and
with them his memory will long remain green.
Among his school-mates he was a
prime favorite, being full of quainb
sayings and youthful vigor, ever ready
with new schemes whereby boyish enjoyments could be enlarged but nob to
the debrimenb of obhers.
He will be sadly missed by many
business men of this city, as his nimble feet carried many messages ab a
double-quick pace.
To his Darents came the j-reatest
blow, for to them who watched over
his infant hours, noticed the first
quiver of the eyelash, the trembling of
the tiny arms, or a little flush on the
rosebud check, and, as the infant
developed into sturdy boyhood eyer
guiding his steps arighb, the pain cannot be bold. There is a vacant chair,
a voice forever bushed, bub as long as
life lasts there will ever be a void
which naughb can fill, and
At night when they gc their rounds and pause
.Each white-draped cot beside,
And note how flushed, is this one's cheeli,
How that one's curls lte wide,
And to a corner tehantless
Their swift thoughts fly apace—
That would have been If Ben had lived,
■*•■   Their other darling's place.
The funeral o;curred Monday at 2:30
p. m. front the Congregational church,
Rev. Boyl conducting the services in
an able and impressive manner. The
altar and the elegant casket were
beautifully decorated with choice
flowers in profusion.
The services being concluded at the
church the many sympathizing friends
followed the remains to Cherry Grove
cemetery where they were laid to rest,
and ''Though lost to sight, to memory
dear."
