That's Bow thc Hon. W. S. Mesick
was llenoniinatcd at thc llth
dist. Kepublican Gongrcs*
sional Convention,
_£,_H
And  His  Renomhi-ition   Will be
Ratified by the People on
Election Day.
The Republican congressional convention for the llth district held ab
Reed City on Tuesday was a remarkably harmonious gathering.
J. __". McCall of Ithaca was selected
as temporary chairman and D. E.
Alward of Clare, secretary. The temporary organization was made permanent.
The chairman opened the convention with a glowing speech, in the
miust of which he was interrupted by
about 100 teachers from the institute,
who captured the convention and sang
"America," the entire delegation rising. At its close, Mr. McCall resumed
his speech, touching on the won. of
the convention of two years ago*, of
the unanimity that has existed in the
district during that time, the Spanish-Cuban question, and other leading
questions of the day, He then aslced
what, was the further .pleasure.- of tlie
convention. A voice—•*'<- song,?' when
the teachers sang "Michigan, My
Michigan."
The following strong and patriotic
resolutions weie enthusiastically
adopted:
Resolved: That we most heartUy endorse and
reaffirm the platform of the Republcan party as
adopted at the national convention at St Louis,
June 18,1698.
Resolved: That Ave most cordially endorse the
administration of PresidentMcKinley. Hohas
proved himself worthy of the confidence reposed
in him. Firm as an executive offlcor,diplo-_atio
and dignified in his official relations with other
countries, wise and conservative in council, unyielding andimmovahleinhis devotions to principles of good govern! ent, determined and
uncompromising in advocacy of party policy,
constant and faithful to the doctrine of his
party, he has met the highest expectations of
the Republican party and the American people.
And he it further
Resolved: That we most heartily commend the
the President for hisstrongand patriotioeftorts
to avert war with Spain, untU every resource of
diplomacy had failed and for his able and successful conduct after war was proved inevitable. That it is the duty of all Republicans to
uphold our national administration in the prosecution of tho war which is to prove to the
whole world that Spanish misrule and tyranny
wUl not bo tolerated on the western continent;
and that the American people do not desire to
wage war for compiest, but aro willing to Pledge
their all to prosecute a war in the interest of
liberty andhumanity, and such they'believe this
to be.
Resolved: That with many expressions of
esteem, we send greetings, congratulations and
praise to the army and navy enlisted under our
flag. God speed the day of victory and their
triumph and safe return.
Resolved: That among thejeitizens and statesmen of our land, there is none whom wo more
earnestly congratulate and enthusiastically endorse that our own Representative in Congress
for this*district,who was the staunch supporter
of the President in his diplomatic negotiations
with Spain and who has counseled for peac<5,
yet holding the cause of humanity and the honor of our country above every other consideration, has voted for every war measure in anticipation of conflict between this nation and that
ot Spain. He advised and voted for immediate
action for the strengthening Of our navy that
made Dewey's, Schley's and Shatter's victory
and Hobson's gallant sacrifice possible and we
especially commend him for his position on all
war measures and his earnest efforts and solioi-
tudo for tho veterans of the late war and for his
successful efforts in securing pension, legislation for the needy survivors of the war, their
widows and orphans.
The roll of counties was called for
nominations and Judge Bailey of Antrim presented the name of Wm. S.
Mesiclc. As the roll proceeded each
county supported the nomination and
Mr. Mesick was renominated to succeed himself without a dissenting
vote.
A committee was appointed to escort Mr. Mesick from his hotel to the
opera house, where he was greeted
with a storm of applause. Mr. Mesick
responded with a yery able speech.
The unanimity of the 00 delegates
and the people whom they represented
in the convention, is a tine tribute to
the able way in which Mr. Mesick has
represented his district and for the
unswerving manner in which he has
stood by President McKinley in the
trying days when the jingoes were
criticising the supposed unnecessary
delay in the declaration of war.
Clare county was right in it, as the
saying is, all through the convention.
The delegates wanted a speech at the
beginnihg from ottrown Denny Alward
and although he put them off then
they were bound to haye it before
closing, and then he did give them
a ringing speech, Vnov. more niusic
vm called for and lendered with a
hearty will. After which came three
rdosing cheers for McKinley, Mesick

In Memoriaii..
Cora, beloved wife of John B, McLeilan, who for the past sixteen years
has resided with her family one and
one-half miles south or Clare, passed
suddenly away on Monday of this
week,. of apoplexy. Deceased had
been in poor health for some time but
seemed to bo improving and her
friends looked for her speedy recovery,
when the sad end came.
Mrs. Cora Swarthoub-McLellan was
born in Saginaw township, Juh. 22d,
1862, and was the eldest daughter of
James N. and Jane M. Swarthout, her
parents being pioneers of Saginaw
county. On lS"ov. 10, 1881, she was
married to Mr. John B. McLeilan, as
a result of which union she leaves a
son now ten years of age. Besides her
husband and son she leaves a mother,
Mrs. .aneM. Swarthout of Saginaw,
two brothers, A, II. Swarthout of Saginaw and W* J. Swarthout of Saginaw
town, and a sis_er,.Mrs. B. W. Balien-
tine, of Chicago. In her young girlhood Mrs. McLeilan united witli the
Michigan Avenue M. B. church, Saginaw, and has since lived a consistent
Christian life.
The funeral'was conducted from the
home by Eev. S. A. Dean, pastor bf
the Ames M, B. church, Saginaw, on
Wednesday Ahd the remains laid, at-
restin Ghe.rv Grove cemetery. <
The SBjfTiNisr, unites with the
many friends of the deceased in extending to Mr. McLeilan and family
heartfelt sympathy in these the darkest hours of his life.
CARD OF THANKS,
Mr. John B. McLeilan and family
wish to express their heartfelt thanks,
to all their neighbors and friends for
theii many kind words and acts of
sympathy in their recent great affliction.
Of Interest to Vernon and Grant
Townships.
A suit in the U. S. circuit court, before Judge Hammond of Tennessee,
sitting at Toledo, O., between the executor of the estate of the late Gov.
Ashley, and W. E. Burt and the T.,A.
A. & N. M. E. R., was recently decided, in which the estate received a verdict against Burt and the railroad
Company of $24,850, being for the conversion of the bonds issued by the
township of Surrey, Clare county, to
James M. Ashley, Jr., and township of
Marion, Osceola county. And then
Burt and the E. E. Co. turned over in
Court, to the executor, the bonds issued by the township of Grant, Olare
county, of $15,000, and Vernon, Isabella counby, of $3,000, which now belong
to the Ashley estate. And we understand tliat the estate will proceed
shortly to collect. It appears that the
TL S. supreme court has decided that
u-i. class pf bonds must be paid, or collection can be enforced.
The accumulated interest is nearly
as much as the bonds as we are in-
foimed, and if so it will put a nice little burden upon the townships unless
they can make some compromise with
the Ashley estate.
The above is taken from last week's
Mt.-Pleasant Times,- The people of
Grant and Vernon townships are not
worrying any about the matter however, as the Ashleys never lived up to
their agreement and the bonds were
Obtained in a surreptitious maflner.
Care of Schoolrooms—Periodical
Disinfection.
The Michigan state hoard of health
respectfully recommends to all school
boards and other officers and persons
having in charge assembly rooms, that
they cause to he observed ttte, following methods of care in the interest of
public health:
That the regular care of schoolrooms
includes the sprinkling of floors before
sweeping, the subsequent dusting of
dbsks or wiping them with a clean
damp cloth and the airing of the room
before its use. That interchange of
books be allowed only under such conditions as render the transmission of
disease impossible. That the use of
slates be discontinued. That persons
known to be affected with tuberculosis
of the lungs or who persistently cough
and expectorate, be denied the privileges of such room either as teacher or
pupil. That all spitting upon the
floor by any person be strictly forbidden and that proper conveniences for
receiving sputa be supplied. That at
least once a year the room and contents be thoroughly disinfected, the
•woodwork and floor washed with an
antiseptic GOlution, the walls wfiitc-
waohed and tho Blumbing and ventilating inspected.

Every town has its Browns, says the
Coleman Independent, but Coleman
has only one and he is James Brown,
imported from Glare. Speaking about
Smiths, well that's different, and the
Coleman post offlce force have no snap
in sorting out the Smith mail. Among
the patrons of the Coleman office there
are nineteen different Smith families
and certainly there are over a score by
that familiar name, William Smith.
The number bearing the names Charlie, Jim and John have never been
counted, and yet their love letters
must be kept straight. As the old
lady said—-I understand now where all
the Smiths come from—Smithsonian
institute.
Wm, Burz of the Ann Arbor railroad
is as good a Citizen of the United States
as the city contains, notwithstanding
the fact that in his youthful days he
was aplaymate of the Emperor of Germany. Soon after the Manila incident
in which the German gun boat interfered with the insurgents, someone remarked to William that ""We'd have
to down his Emperor." "I've done
that lots of times when I was a boy,"
answered he, whereupon he related
Several interesting anecdotes Of their
boyhood struggles. Heretains a hearty
respect for the Emperor who is, about
his age, and a great regard for some
of the Institutions of his fatherland,
but hot q.uite as deep a loyalty as for
tlncle Sam and the land of his adop-
tion.—Mt, Pleasant Times.
