CLAKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
-Event!* tn Connection With Cottnnence-
■ -ment Week.
EIGHTH GKADE EXERCISES.
Commencement week opened; on
Tuesday evening when the 8th grade
.; graduating exercises were held at
**•• Doherty opera Bouse. The class consisted of 18 bright girls and boys as
follows: Edith Wolsey..Joe. Bradley,
Estella McKinnon, Frank Kelly, Hazel
,& . Goodman, Bertha Bidweli, Roy Hus-
:   ^ ted, Mon tie Doud, Pearl Easfcon, May
iUger, Willie Lang, Edith* Oliver,
Lena Dunwoodie, Exntna Hirfc. Pearl
- Ooor,E. Burt, enney, Maud Ross and
Myrtle Halstead. Those who composed tbis class rendered a moat excellent program, which was greatly enjoyed by the large audience. Each
member showed bis or ber excellent
ability by the manner in which Uiey
*jp performed their respective parts and
reflected great credit on their instructor, Miss Harrison. Each graduate
was presented witb a diploma by
Supt. W. J. Hutchison, who gave excellent words of advice to tbe class in
his presentation remarks.
** ' THE CLASS OF '08.
The 9tli annual commencement exercises of the class of '98 were held at
Doberty opera house on Thursday
evening o£ this week. As usual on
sucb occasions tbe bouse was crc wded
* to its utmost.   As the orchestra open
ed the program, entrancing tbe audience with its beautiful music, the
three girl and three boy graduates
took their places upon tbe stage, accompanied by Supt. W. J. Hutchinson
and Prin. Lydia C. Kaye. The stage
was beautifully decorated witb the
class colorS-^-red, white and blue—a
happy thought on the part of tbe class
in view of the present contest with
H. Spain.   "Carpe diem" i.lheclassmot-
to. which means, seize the day—the
opportunity.
The first oration was by Mable E.
Weir, her subject being "Trifles."
J. Hoy Lamb handled ••Luck vs.
Pluck," while "Patriotism" was the
title of the oration of Clifford Clark.
■tfj! Tbe fourth oration,'-Hope and Memory" was by Alina M, Tatman; tbe
fifth, "Wisdom is Wealth" was delivered by A. Maud Whiteside, while
the "Past and Present" was discussed
% by Fr.ank K. Louch.
Each member handled his or her
subject in a masterly manner—all doing themselves proud—and to particularize would be invidious.
On behalf of the board of education
O. W. Perry presented the class with
their well-earned diplomas. Mr.
Perry's remarks were brief, but tbey
were timely «-md to the point and tbe
class is of that kind of material which
will i-aprove his woids.
The program was plt'-i&iugiy inter-
** spersed with vocal and instrumental
music by E. G. Welch, Leona Chase,
B. Louise Bruske, Bernice Chamber-
lin, A. Rosenthal, and the gentlemen
composing the orchestra. There was
a ladies orchestra, too, and they came
in for no small share of the liberal ap-
*•# plause,

alumni and their friends and the class
ft of '98 gathered at tbe pleasant and
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs, C. H,

"■** boiues in the. we* sma' hours of tbe
morning, and thus ended tbe 9th happy graduation exercises of the Glare
Public Schools.

HUMMEL'S BIG VAKE.
An Aggregation of Trashy Attractions and
Colossal Swindles.
The John E. Hummel colossal
swindling aggregation, traveling under the guise of a circus, has come and
gone. !Twas well advertised many
days in advance for a radius of several
miles witb flaming posters and attractive hand bills, and on Wednesday
the usual crowd congregated ia the
city. The general appearance of the*
aggregation was good and created a
favorable impression, but the performance was simply b-u-m. from start to
finish, not one new or novel feature
being introduced. Thesideshows were
of the cheapest order, simply -offering
shelter for gambling and tbe rankest
of swindling operations, amounting to
scarcely more than highway robbery.
In one of these tents A. Willey of Wise
township was prevailed upon to part
with S.5, while Andrew Sawyer of
Yernon made a donation of about $40.
Several smaller losses are also reported.
The shore change game was worked, to
its fullest capacity Irom the ticket
wagon down to the lemonade and
songbook man. The "hoochy-cooehy"
dancing tent came in for a good share
of attention and its performers narrowly escaped arrest on complaint of
local authorities for its obscene nature.
The entire gang was in for the money
at whatever cost.
Mayor Mussell was persistent in his
efforts to protect the public from the
operations ot the gang, and but for bis
untiring zeal and tbe watchful care of
his corps of officers, their swindlings
would undoubtedly have been much
more extensive.

Patriotic \ oung Americans Who aro Anxious to Fight for their Coimtry.
Oftpfc, 3. L. Thorburn ,.of Camp
Eaton, a United States recruiting officer who was in tbe city last week,
was in Clare over Monday evening
and again Wednesday receiving enlistments. Patriotism in tbis locality
does dot api.ear to haye reached fever heat as compared with other sections of the country, but the showing is not altogether a bad one. As
a result of his efforts there are sixteen who haye volunteered tbeir services, as follows:
Edgar G. Welch, Olare,
Aaron Rosenthal. "
Oscar Ethridge, "
Donald McKinley, "
Albert J. Wilson,
Harry Webber, "
Zopher E. Yader, •'
Geo. A. Bovren, "

Francis 3. Whiteaker, "
Rutherford Durling,      Loomts.
Alvin Howe, Coleman.
John R. Seovilie,
Wesley Dafoe, "
Geo. A. Thurlow, Gladwin.
The list is still open and those who
desire may enroll tneir names by applying to C. H. Clark at the post offlce. * The medical examination has
not yet been held, but will probably
take place about the flrst of the
coming week either at Clare, Midland or Mt. Pleasant. It is probable
tbat very few if any of the above named young gentlemen will be rejected,
as they were given a careful scrutiny
by Capt. Thorburn previous to enrollment. They will start for Camp
Eaton immediately after/the medical
examination. Capt. Thorburn is de-
sirousof securingif possible the names
of about 20 or 25 more from this county.
