Jas, S. Graham has six acres in sugar
beets on bis farm one mile south of
Calkinsville. If took 40 days' work to
thin them.' The rows are 21 inches
apart and the leaves of the beets are
now so large that they leave only
aoout six inches of hare ground between the rows. The stand is nearly
perfect and will average twenty plants
to the rod, or 30,000 to the acre. The
prospect are good for the beets to average over two pounds each, ane the
yield of the six acres will probably exceed 180 tons.
John Larkin, the "Father of Midland city," passed away last Sunday
nignt, after an illness of over ten

many years gave employment to large
numbers of men. He also built tbe
fines, brick block in the town, cosning
nearly $40,000, He was about 73 year s
of age and leaves a host of friends to
mourn his loss.
The prosnecting and mining of coal
in this state so far seems to .{move
some very important truths not*jpi_re
known. First, there are SfJvefal
stratas of coal separated from each
other by rock or stone formation, at
Bay City. The flrst true strata lies
2,15 feet below the surface, the second
375, the third 475 feet, and it is believed that still another and better
strata will be found at almost700 feet.
Some of these strata-, haye been found
up the valley from twenty to thirty
miles south and west of Bay City at
levels much above the Bay City levels,
showing there is a dip in the seyeral
strata towards lake Huron, The
strata that at Bay City is 1% feet below the surface is only 140 feet below
at South Saginaw and 100 feet at St.
Charles, 90 feet at Berne and crops out
at Montrose. Coal has been found
only about four feet below the surface
near Ithaca. This is probably the
out cropping of the strata thab at
North Saginaw is found at the depth
of 600 feet.

Wash... gtost, July 14.—The flrst
chapter of the land campaign of the
United States against Spain closed today when the. Spanish colors gave
place over Santiago to the American,
flag. I.ex6 will follow the transportation of Spanish troops back to their
native land and the capture of the
island of Porto Rico, unless peace soon
intervenes.
The siege of Santiago has lasted two
weeks and was remarkable in many
respects, and in none more than the
heavy percen .age of loss through death
and sickness of soldiers and sailors engaged on both sides.
Looking back over the record of the
past two weeks it is seen that a great
ironclad squadron has been destroyed,
thabu nearly a thousand Spanish sail-
ors|j||flve been drowned or killed by
shell and flame and that au untold
number of Spanish soldiers have died
in the trenches of Santiago. On the
other hand, about 250 American soldiers have been killed and in round
numbers 2,000 more have been sent to
the hospitals from wounds, fevers and
other ailments. Our fleet had a re-'
markable exemption from disaster in
the many engagements it has had with
the forts at the entrance of the harbor
and witb the Spanish squadron.

Secretary 'Alward  Says the Date
Has Not Yet Been P ixed.
"How jusb read thab, will you?" said
D. E. Alward, secrebary of bhe Eepub-
liwn State Central Committee, yesterday. ' His remark had reference to an
article in aDetroib paper, sbabing that
bhere is great dissabisfaction over the
state committee's selection of-September 21sb as the date for the Eepublican
state convention. "As a matter of
fact," continued Mr. Alward, "the
committee hasn't decided on anything
of the kind. The committee will meet
on July 28 to settle the question. So
far there has been nothing agreed
upon, but I'll venture the opinion that
no member of the committee eyer
mentioned or even thought of September 21st as the date bo be selected.
Someone imagined he could stir up a
row, (and there are people, you know,
who are not content unless they are
growling at somebody or something,)
so he just set up a man of straw and
then hauled off and batted him in the
ear a few times, The date for bhe
state convention will be determined
upon by the committee ab the meeting
on the 28th. of July, and there'll be
plenty of time for a good campaign
after the ticket is nominated."
, Shredded .Wheat Biscuit for the first
time gives the people what they have
been looking for, .a whole wheat food
that actually takes the place of starch
made bread, and is capable of being
used at every meal in a greab variety
of ways. Over 140 recipes are contained in a beautiful cook book given away
with eyery package of biscuit sold during the exhibib a. DeFoe's grocery, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 18,

Chas. Bander Also iu the Service,
By the time we learn the names of
all our soldier lads wc "will be of the
opinion thab Clare is pretty well reprc-.
sentedintbe present struggle after
all. We make the following excerpts
fvom a letter from Chas. Bauder to
his parents here. After spe.king of
other things he says: "We had tiuite
a time here the 4th. A very large
crowd in the park along with 55,000
soldiers made it almost impossible to
move aboub. We are having as good
a time as one could wish for under the
circumstances, We get up at 5 o'clock
in the morning and have breakfast at
5:30 and go out at. 6 and drill till 8, them
we can lay in the shade during tbe
heat .of the day bill 6 p, ra. We drill
again from 6:00 to 7:30 p. m. We. get
guard duty one day out of each week,
that is for the privates. I am corporal
•now and go on guard only once, a
month. I was appointed corporal July
1 and my pay is BlSamonth. The
33rd Mich, regiment was in the battle
at Santiago and I know three of the
boys that were wounded. J do oot
think our regiment will go anywhere
except back to lowa, as there are so
many on the list ahead of us. Wc are
in the third corps, so the first corps go
ahead of us. There are 27 regiments
in a corps, 0 in a division and 3 iu a
brigade.
Well I must close now for I have to
go to the non-commissioned officers'
school. We have school for the sergeants and corporals evory afternoon
for two hours.
