something of interest to say to our
readers relative to insurance. The

ones.  	
The last two or three days have been

About40 persons left here, Monday,
for the Canadian northwest. Most of
them were from south and east of here
and will tako up homesteads in the
northwest proyiding they are satisfied
With I he country.
In burning the rubbish that has accumulated during the winter in the
dooryards, great care should be taken
tUa. no live embers are left at nightfall, thus avoiding the chances of the
wind scattering them and setting tlie
bouse or barn on Are.
Any one on the streets of any city
can see the youth engaged in the deadly habit of smoking cigarettes, Some
one is surely violating the law in regard to the sale of these consumption
starters to boys and the matter should
be carefully looked after.
Clean up the streets and alleys. The
aopearanceof your surroundincs is apt
to be taken as an indication of the
state of your business. Tidy up thc
lawn ; the state of the homes makes a
great impression on the stranger and
a_ds to the enjoyment of each resident.
Judge Dodds had the X-rays as a witness in court for tlie first time, last
week in Comma: the suit was for an
injury of a hand bya railroad accident.
The X-rays showed the injured bones
plainly. There was no chance for
cross examination.—Mt. Pleasant
Times.	
Through the efforts of Congressman
Mesick the order of the postoffice de-
oartment raising the box rents at this
office has been suspended. The prices
will now be at the former rate. Those
who have paid at the advance price
will please call and get the amount
due them.
The better price paid for white potatoes should determine farmers as to
thc kind of seed to plant. The white
potato is a better seller than the reds
and has commanded from two to five
cents more per bushel in recent years.
Some localities still cling to the rose
varieties but the white potato is in
the lead and is likely to remain there.
Mrs. Graves' new dress-making and
millinery parlors in tlie bank block,
open today. Tomorrow, (Saturday), is
a special hat sale day. Ladies, be sure
to attend.

To the Editok of The Sentinel:—
The news of the election of Charles-
Buell, James L. Welch, Thomas S.
Dorsey and L. E. Davy, is especially
gratifying, because, in view of the very
large majorities which the opposition
had to go on, and in yiew, also, of the
fact that the democrats nominated
their strongest men, a sweeping defeat
for the Republican forces was to be expected. That the Republicans reversed the result of one year ago and succeeded in electing Mr. Buell for city
treasurer, Mr. Welch and Mr. Dorsey
for supervisors, and Mr, Davy for
alderman, over such shrewd and able
leaders of the democracy as Messrs;
Elden, Bump, Giberson and others, is
a remarkable achievement and demonstrates the worth of systematic organization and work as well as the wisdom of the Republican party in its
nominations. The result of Monday's
battle puts us in splendid shape for the
future. Among Republicans congratulations are in order. I extend my
congratulations not only to those of
our candidates who have won,but to the
people whom they wilt faithfully serve.
Next time another united effort will
accomplish even more good,    .
D, E. AhwAno.
Victory for Republicans!
Union-Silverites of Clare Get Little
Consolation Out of Last Monday's Election,
Republicans   Elect   Two   of   the
Three Supervisors, City Treasurer and One Alderman,
Silverites Elect Mayor, Clerk and
School Inspector, but by Greatly Reduced Majorities.
Signal Victory for Republicans in
the 2nd Ward.

rs_ K. M_ Goodman,
Hobday, tbe 4tb of April, was election- day, for Clare Republicans at
least, it was also a chilly day, especially so for the leaders of the dem—(beg
pardon, wo were about to honor them
by calling them leaders of the democracy,}—union-silver forces of Clare.
'Tis'true, the combined silver forces
elected most of their city ticket and
one Ippervisor and two aldermen, but
it m'tist be remembered that Republi-
cauaiave to go up against a "union"
of ttfo parties—truly great odds—and
wheii Republicans succeed in electing
men to the important offices they did
this spring it is a victory worthy of
special note. One year ago the silverites elected mayor by 78 majority; this
year by Gnlv 33. One year ago Republicans had to content themselves with
ono supervisor and one alderman, and
not a single place on the city ticket.
This year Clare Republicans elect two
of the three ward supervisors, city
treasurer, and alderman from the
third, while we lose alderman in the
first ward by only four votes and in
the se.qn.d-which is about 40 majority
for silver—by only 10 votes.
It was the proud boast of Messrs.
OAnfiifld and Benner and other mighty
Wcir'-ftw'ses -9rt^e7si;iv^;%s. that tljey.
would elect tl.eir candidate for supervisor in the 2nd if tney did not succeed in electing another man. But
despite their boasts, ''Tom" Dorsey,
the Republican candidate, not only
overcame a majority of 40, but ha'd 11
votes to spare.
The vote in the city this spring was
normal, each party polling about the
same number as were cast one year ago.
Below is the vote:

An exchange soliloquizaes thus regarding the times: "In those good
old days when 'the offlce sought the
man and hot tbe man the offlce,' when
every man's word was his bond and
even the sawmills were upright, a boy
who receiyed a whipping in school was
pretty sure to get another one at home.
Nowit is not Unusual for the -ath.r,
instead of whipping the boy. to haye
anln tens© longing to whip th& teacher.   Is the race really flegenetating?"
