THE NATION'S NATAL DAY.

red,
and
How and Where it Was Observed
Tjy Clare People,
Was it a glorious Eourth? Well, say!
It was a day
Suoh as we've never had
Since your dad and my dad
And all the other boy's dads
Were little tads, .
I'll bet
It was a day
That we
In this glorious country of the free
Will not forget
Eight away I
It was Sampson's day, and Shatter's
too;
,It was Dewey's and Schley's
Capron's day—
It was a great day for th'e old
white and blue,
And say,
It was my day and your day,
didn't we
Let the world know it?   Gee!
I guess
Yes!
Did the tickled eagle scream.
Why, he let
Loose to some extent, and that's no
dream.
You be.,
.-It was his day
Eor screaming, anyway!
Oh, say.
Do you think our flag is still there?
That's where
It is, aad that's where it'll stay,
Waving away  . .
So that all the world may see
How we
Go about the business ot setting people free!
As 1 said before
It was a great day,
So, just for luck, once more-
Hurrah!   Hooroo!   Hooray!

FROM CAMP EATON.
Clifford Clark Writes  of Soldier
Life at Island Lake.
Island Lake, July 6,1898.
Dear Pather:—I received vour letter O. K.
We are to bave a very strict examination this morning and some of us
may be rejected. Most of the boys are
feeling pretty bad on account of this
examination. There were 31 rejected
in a company from up by Ludington
and you would be surprised to see how
the men felt. Some of them cried just
like babies and begged to be allowed
to go.
We have batallion drill every afternoon under Major Knox.
Say, what do you think of Sampson?
You ought to have seen the boys when
they heard of Shatter's retreat and
then when they heard of Sampson's
victory.
Pingree came up Monday morning
and stayed till last night.
One of my tent mates, Conrad, was
taken to the hospital Monday but soon
came back.
We are known as the "cracker-jack"
company and are looked up to as tbe
best drilled company on the grounds,
Eeardon's son of Midland, is here
trying to get 2nd lieutenant and its
nip and tuck between he and Church
of Ithaca. Col. White's son is our 2nd
sargeant. Ered Shorts, one of our
tent mates, is 3rd, We have the best
of everything in our mess tent. We
are drawing $2.00 a day, deducting 75c
for board. We have the old Spring-
Meld rifles to practice with.
The captain and lieutenant often
come and visit our tent and we are
granted all favors asked. We ha.e
! not received our company letter yet,
but guess It will be B orC. Every
company on the grounds claim to have
A, but I guess the Dundee boys will
get that.
My papers will be sent to you soon.
The boys have lots of fun running

THOSE-IN TROUBLE.
Anna Spent the Eourth in Clio.
Ten tickets were sold from this sta-!
tion for the celebration at Alma.
Over 100 went from Clare to celebrate the nation's natal day at Midland.
The captain, lieutenant and about 10
of the boys were over to a dance across
the lake Monday night and when they
returned the guard .saw it was the
captain and stopped and dressed up.
Tlie captain asked him what  he  was
Circuit Court Proceedings of Last
Thursday and Eriday,
At the session of the circuit court
held in Harrison last week Judge
Dodds disposed of the several cases on
the calendar i n his usual quick but tbor
ough manner, court opening on Thursday noon and closing Eriday noon.
Three informations were filed by Pros.
Att'y Quinn aguinst Orson Lynn, who
with Geo, Had.ley was indicted for
burglarized depots at Earwell and
Temple, Lynn plead guilty to each
and was sentenfed to Ionia for three
years and six months, on the flrst,
three years and'nine months on the
second and four years on thc third.
The longest sentence is the one which
he will be obliged to seryc. Lottie
Lynn, his wife, charged with receiving propei ty she knew to have been
stolen, also plead guilty and was given
8 mos. with Capt. Joe at Detroit.
Albert Berm, charged with assault
with intent to disable, was given 85
days in Detroit.
Moses Strong, charged with perjury
in the Chappel case, also plead guilty
and on motion of Pros. Att'y Quinn
sentence was deferred until flrst day
of next term. This motion was made
by our prosecutor for the reason tbat
Moses is wanted as a witness in the
Chappel case, wherein Chappel is
charged with subornation of perjury.
Thos. Andrews of Earwell, convicted at the last term of court of violating tbe liquor law, and whose sentence was suspended till the first day
of this term, failed to put in an appearance, and I. J. Thompson as as-
surity was obliged to forfeit $300 because of Andrews' non-appearance.
Of course there are couples who are
not well mated and below are some
who carried their troubles into circuit
court, decrees being granted in each
case: John H. Hoover vs. Erances
Hoover, Eilla Bi_;_by vs. Charles Bigs-

of the day.

Eoss, and Mr. and Mrs, C. 3. Stone

and Pearl Cour passd the day at Lake
George, some of the party remaining
several days.
The Fourth was very quietly celebrated in Clare, the uncertainty of the
result of the battle of Santiago causing considerable apprehension, and
but few people went elsewhere to celebrate. But when on the. morning of
the Fourth, came the glorious news
that Sampson's fleet had completely
annihilated the Spanish fleet which
had been bottled up in Santiago harbor foi the past six weeks—then it
would have been a very easy matter to
have gotten up a genuine, rip-roaring
patriotic celebration in Clare. In
fact, our enterprising* townsman, A,
3. Doherty, and a number ot others
equally as patriotic, erected a stand in
Mr. Doherty's yard and in the evening there was a display of fireworks
equal to those usually given by Mt.
Pleasant, Midlau'J and other small
towns. After the pyrotechnic display
thfe invited guests adjourned to Mr.
Doherty's residence where refreshments were served and the balance of
the evening passed in .octal converse.
Is your fur hi turn i nsured against loss
tiyjigfttning. orfire? If not, get a policy of O, H. Clark.
Then the boys yelled.
There is one feature of the camp
that deserves particular cominenda-
tiou. It> is the preparation of food.
Although the state is furnishing The
food, it is of the same character as
that provided by Uncle Sam to his
troops in the field. The buzzicat ovens
are used entirely for cooking in the
companies and the cooks are rapidly
becoming proficient in the art of securing good results with this remarkable cooking utensil. The buzzicat
oyeu is practically two large sheet
iron pans that flt together like a telescope grip. It is placed upon a bed of
coals and hot stones in a tren.h and
covered with coals. It is useful to fry
potatoes, roast meat, bake bread ; in
fact, most anything can be prepared
in it that can be Cooked in an ordinary
range. Some experience is needed for
the cook to use it successfully. But
like the men in the ranks the cooks
are bending eyery effort to learn and
perfect themselves, and they are succeeding remarkably well.
Capt. Thorburn, of our company, is
an experienced officer, having been in
tbe regular army, and is making a
record, not only at drill, but in caring
for his company, which is not the least
important of an officer's duties.
The hard work of camp drill is not
without its spice of amusement. Last
night some faceoious chap ordered a
green recruit to constitute himself
"nit corporal," and ordered him to
post guards in all tlie company streets.
All of the men see so little of gua^d
duty that every man the '-night corporal" corralled and posted on guard
took the matter as seriously as he did
and for the next hour officers were
constantly running against fellows
pacing up ahd down the company
streets keeping a keen look for—they
didn't know what,
"Who posted you here," was the constant question.
The reply was inevitably: "The
night corporal,'*"
"Blank the night corporal," was the
usual conclusion.
Ho one has been able to discover
who the ''amusin' cuss" was who gave
the bight corporal his orders.
Well, I guess 1 have told you everything so I guess I will close so goodby,

whole system, acts as a stimulant to
liver and kidaeys, is a blood* purifier
and nerve tohlc. It cures .constipation, h6iidache, fainting spells, sleeplessness, and melancholy. It is purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. * Every
