excellent field for a mill here is enough
inducement of itself and no bonus

Why not organize a gun club? Some
great sport could be occasionally enjoyed through a day's shooting, and
the rivalry between opposing sides for
the highest count in the- shooting
tournaments would add much to the
sport. As a special feature the loosing side might ffirnish a repast after
a day's shooting and as all are gathered
'round the festive board each could
regale, the party with tales of the
chase and of marksmanship. We would
suggest that 0. S, Derby, who is quite
an enthusiast in such matters, start
the ball rolling.
The _world-renownecl carnival of
Mardi Gras is one that is held every
year during ohe last week preceeding
Lent, nt New' Orleans. Saginaw is
also to institute an annual festival of
fun, to be called "Yvanigas day, and in
order that the people, of Saginaw
might receive proper suggestions, The
Saginaw Globe decided to send two
representatives to New Orleans, paying their transportation and giving
$20 in gold to each representative, for
incidential expenses. The Globe published voting coupons, each day and
subscribers were to select as the representatives the most popular, teacher
of the East side and the most popular
one of the West side, the contest closing last Saturday night. The successful teacher of the west side was Miss
Sara Malcolm, a former teacher in the
Clare public schools, who received
about 0,000 more votes than her next
highest opponent.

Havana: A terrible explosion, tool-
place on board, the United States cruiser
Maine in Havana harbor at 10:15 p, in,
Capt, Sigsbee and the other officers
have been saved. It is estimated that
Over 100 of the crew were killed, but it
Is impossible as yet to give exact details, _ The cruiser is totally,destroyed.
The explosion,shook the whole city.
The windows were broken in all the
houses. The wildest- consternation
-prevailed in Havana. Thc wharves
being soon crowded with thousands of
people.
As yet the case of the explosion is
not apparent. The wounded sailors of
the Maine are unable to explain It.
They say the explosion 'took place
While they were asleep, so that they
e_.n give no particulars as to the cause.
Capt, Sigsbee says the explosion occurred in the bow of the vessel. He received a wound in the head. Orders
were given to the other officers to save
themselves as best they could, but no
one saved anything c.N-cept the clothes
they had oh,
• All the boats of the Spanish cruiser
Alfonso XII, went to thc assistance of
the Maine's crew. Admiral Manterola
Ordered that boats of all kinds should
go to thc assistance. The Havana flre-
•nen. gave aid, tending carefully to the
\vounded as they were brought ashoi-c.
Gen. Solano and the other generals
Were ordered by C'apt.-Gen. Blanco to
take ships to help thc Maine in every
way possible.
Washington: Thc navy department
received telegrams from Capt. Sigsbee
giving news of thc disaster without
any particulars, and asking that navy
tenders be sent at once from Key West
to receive the crew and the few pieces
pf equipment still above water. Capt.
Sigsbee said: "Public opinion should be
■Sj-^gended until further report. All
'officers believed to be saved. Jenkins
and Merritt not yet accounted for.
Many Spanish officers, .including representatives of Gen. Blanco, now with
me and express sympathy"
The secretary of thc navy received
another dispatch from Key West at the
same time, but its contents were not-]
made public. The orders for the lighthouse tenders were at once sent to Key
West.
The Maine was a battleship of the
second class and was regarded as one
of the best ships in the new navy. She
was built at the Brooklyn navy yard
in 1890 at a cost of §2,588,000. She had
a steel hull, was 318 feet long, 57 feet
broad, 21.G mean draught and carried a
complement of 87-1 men. Her armament consisted of four 10-ineh and six
0-inch breech loading guns in her main
battery and seven 0-pounder and eight
1-pounder rapid-fire guns and four Gat-
lings in her secondary battery and four
Whitehead torpedoes. The commander
of the Maine, Capt. Sigsbee, is a favorite in the navy department.
Flouring .Mill Needed!
The City of Clare is most favorably
situated and is to-day a good trade
center, our merchants drawing trade
from Gladwin and Isabella counties.
Factories to work up our timber are
located here, and are, apparently, progressing. Tbe farmers in tne adjacent
counties market their products here
and as a general thing receive good
prices for the s.ame. The merchants
•ire as thorough business men as will
be found anywhere, ever alive to their
own and our city's interest. "Almost
every line of business is represented,
yet the one of equal interest to farmer
•and merchant is not represented. We
allude to that of grist mill. A flrst-
class grist mill located at this point
would have a tend.n.y to draw business from a greater distance than now.
It would enable tbe farmer to do bis
trading and have his grist ground on
Miesameday,wherein as ibis now.those
who do their trading in Clare must
necessarily spend another day in going
to mill, and, it would naturally follow
that tbey would make such purchases
of goods at that time and at that place.
As a good general studies the topography and geography of tbe country before going into an engagement, so tao,
must the business generals do likewise,
The'business interests of Clare demand
a first-class flouring mill and We propose, by theuse of our printers' ink,
to let the outside-world know it. A
good miller will Una here the best kind
of a bonus-—which la—a town sadly in
need of a good flouring mill. Ko better inducem. nts could be offered anywhere than the splendid opening to
be found here.
