The city of Gladwin cast 183 votes
at tbe recent election.
Eev, Fr. Crowley, of Mfc. Pleasant,
who has been very sick, is reported
convalescent.
Icabella county cast 4490 votes on
the 3rd instant, the largest vote ever
given at a spring election in that
county.
The official majority In Olare county
for Justice Grant was 249. Judge
Dodds received 408 majority and Commissioner Aldrich 28.
The Marion common council, re-,
member that it has been a hard winter for stock, has resolved that cows
can run at large in that town hereafter,
Isabella county gave 826 Eepuhlican
mujority for Justice Grant, 1075 for
Judge Dodds and re-elected School
■Commissioner Burdick by an even
thousand.
The freight rate on beets from
Burnham, Calkinsville or Mt. Pleasant to the Alma beet sugar factory
has been fixed at 30 cents per ton, a
big sa7ing over the Bay City rate.
A Cadillac preacher draw a big crowd
last Sunday evening, having announced as his subject*. "If Christ came to
Cadillac." The church was packed
from entryway to chancel with the
"scartest" lot of people that ever got
together in that town,
Up to two weeks ago our genial
friend Joseph Dixon of Vernon township carried the belt for big majority
in Isabella county. When he was reelected county treasurer in 1894 his
majority was 1029, but Judge Dodds
raised the figures to 1075.
The cheese factory at Herrick is
a'i ut ready for business, the machinery having beeu placed the past week.
Farmers in that neighborhood will
not fail to encourage this new* industry and benefit themselves by giving
it the largest amount of patronage
possible.
A sugar factory atJAlma is a certainty. That means a good deal for
farmers in this neighborhood. The
haul is much shorter and cheaper
than to the Bay City factory, and
competition will help in the matter of
price. A big crop of sugar beets will
be harvested hereabouts this year.
A son of Jas. S. Graham of Isabella
township, a young man of 18. died suddenly last week, after an illness of
only one day. Spinal meningetis is
said to have been the cause. He was
a boy very highly resnected, an exemplary young man who had the good
will and confidence of all who knew
him.
After scaning closely the reports of
Judue Dodds' majority everywhere,
ex-Republican Hopkins is set wondering whether he made anything by
changing parties and the democrats
are considering whether it wouldn't
he a good plan to stop nominating
warmed-over Republicans for office
and give some of the party honors to
men who have worn out at least one
pair of shoes in the service of the
party.
There are but few hoys in this city,
if any, who deserve the praise that
young Harry Gray, son of ex-sheriff
Gray, does, says the Mt. Pleasant
Democrat. Four months ago, Mr.
Gray was taken ill, and has not been
able to do a thing since. His business
however, at Calkinsville, that of buying grain, and shipping it, has gone
right along, and under the management of Harry, has flourished. During the time, the boy has bought and
shipped nearly 820,000 worth of grain.
The Mt. Pleasant Enterprise states
that during the month of March there
was paid out of the Isabella county
treasury for sparrow bounty alone,
8241.04. The amounts paid from the
tarioua other funds are as follows:
Contingent, 02203; poor, $3094.28: drain
orders, §5219.61; guryey orders, $567,87;
jurors, $140; witness $17.25; register of
deaths, 814.50. Since the. beginning
of the year the county has expended
about 81900 on sparrow heads; aud the
peats.-ire apparently as numerous as
over. The season for paying bounty
on them closed on April 1st.
The types made a blunder in the
Mt. Pleasant Enterprise election returns which called forth the following
correction last week: "Supervisor
John H. Lansing of Wise was in the
eity Slonday and proceeded to enter a
citrons protest against being called a
democrat aa our types did last week.
"You may call me anything else mean,
but don't call me a democrat," said
he. Mr. Lansing comes from the banner republican town in bhe county
and the oversight was surely very offensive. With this correction the hoard
of supervisors stands 12 rep. to 7 dem.,
one better than last week's announcement made It."
The Mt- Pleasant Democrat relates
that Alf. Rowlader, the genial county
clerk of Isabella county had his mustache removed the other day and a
friend took him around to O, S. Town
and introduced him as a Mr. Somebody
from somewhere who wanted to huy a
horse. Mr, Town had a horse to sell,'
and he talked a steady stream for exactly 30 minutes, before Alf. said a
word, and then when he finally said:
"All'Wgbt,' bring' him oyer to the
county clerk's office and I'll take him,"
O. S. fell off the wagon and fainted,
He is studying now bow to get even.
No one ever knew how handsome Rowlader was, till he got his whiskers off.

Don't forget Arbor Day, April 28.
The commissioner received the following letter from a Clare county
teacher: "I am having one week's
vacation. We have bur school house
cleaned, new shades, and sash curtains
at all the windows. C haye ordered
pictures of Lincoln and Washington,
size 22x28, framed. We are planning
to keep Arbor Day. We are going to
invite the parents and friends and
have exercises. We are going to plant
56 Lombardy populars and a Washington and Lincoln trees." (The above
speaks well for teacher, parents,
school-board, and pupils, No telling
what a good influence the above improvements will have upon the boys
and girls'of the district. Can some
other district do as well? Let us put
our money in the schools, instead of
investing it in insane asylums, prisons
and reformatory institutions, etc. As
the school is, so is the community.)
Questions for Original Thom-ht in

What would happen if the people on
the street were allowed to do just as
they pleased?
What is a hermit?
Watch the movements of ants. Do
you not see signs of govern ment among
them?   (Continued next, week.)

At the Patrons' and Teachers' meeting to be held at the high school

that Commissioner Aldrich is on the
program, his subject being. "Special
needs, of District Schools: How Can
They Be Supplied."
Bond Was Paid When Due.'
Mayor Mussell recently received a
demand for the payment ot one of the
water bonds due last year. Inasmuch
as he knew that tbe bond had been
promptly paid at maturity he looked
the matter up and found the draft
which the city had Sent in payment,
which draft had been properly endorsed, paid and returned. Then the
mayor wrote a letter and will probably receive an apology from the people
who made the mistake.

Smokeless Stoves No Josh!
Soft coal has been the bane
to the tidy housewife ever since It
was discovered, and persons who
would otherwise use it, have heretofore been willing to pay an exorbitant
price for wood in preference to being
tormented with sut and smoke from
that fuel. It has been left to Mr, J,
B. Howard, of 285 St, Aubans Aye., of
Detroit to perfecr. a stove to burn
soft, coal and do away with the smoke
as well as the gases arising from the
burning of soft coal. That gentleman
was in Clare'on Wednesday and exhibited one of his stoves and explained
to many people the philosophy of It,
but which we can not enter into a detail account. They are manufactured
by O. Emrich of Columbus, Ohio, ahd
are the finest and most economical
stove yet produced. We understand
that A. J. Doherty & Sons have
placed an order with the manufacturers for 50 of them.
