Death of Samuel A. Orth..
There were many sad hearts last
Monday when the death of Samuel A.
Orth, which occurred that morning at
Midland was announced in'Clare.
"Sam," as he was familiarly known
among his acquaintances, bad been up
from his business to spend Sunday
only the .week previous. Those who
met and joked with him that day In
'perfect health hardly thought that
that would be the last time they
should ever meet "Sarn"'inlife. Yet
such it proved to be. "Leaves have
their time to fall, bun Thou hast all
times for thine own, O Death."
His untimely death was caused from
taking an overdose of chloranodyne on
Saturday erening. He had been in
t-he habit oC taking this and other
drugs for some time, as ho was
troubled with insomnia. For several
nights he had only been able to sleep
a very little and on this particular
evening, probably about 10:30 o'clock,
he took a larger dose than usual, The
drug had immediate effect. He was
found in his store about 8 o'clock the
next morning, sitting, in a chair, his
feet resting in a comfortable position
on another chair. It was soon found
that he could pot be awakened and
'medical aid was immediately summoned. He was at once taken to his
rooms where all that medical skill
could do was dpne for him/ Two or
three times he regained consciousness and once he stated the name of
the drug he had used and said he had
taken It to produce sleep. Word -was
dispatched to his relatives here and
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Orth,
drove down that afternoon. They
reached his bedside, where they found
many willing hands doing all within
their power for their Tespected and
much loved friend, but all to no avail,
death ending his sufferings on Monday
morning at 4 o'clock.
The remains were brought to Clare
on the Monday evenlDg train and
taken to tue home of his parents,
where they lay until the burial took
place on Wednesday,
The funeral was one of tbe largest
attended that eyer took place In Clare.
The service was in charge of his Masonic brethren of Midland, the members of John Q, Look lodge of Clare
uniting with them in performing phe
obsequies. A. bout seventy- five Maso ns
came up from Midland by special
train. An equally large number of
the Knights of Pythias, of which
lodge he was alst> a member, also came
to pay their respects to his memory.
He was also a member of the Maccabees, Modern Woodmen and Loyal
Guard. The funeral sermon was
preached in the M. E. church by the
Ber, Mr. Ferris, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Midland. Hundreds
were unable to g'.»in admission to the
church. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. At the cemetery the impressf ve ritual of the Masonic order was rendered and all that
was mortal of Samuel Orth was laid
to rest.
Samuel A. Orth was born in the
townshin of Warwick, Ont., and had
_e lived Until the 27th of January
next would have been 31 years of age.
He came with his parents to Saginaw
when 17 years old, and after residing
there two years they came to this city.
Soon after coming to Clare Sam entered the drug store of John W. Dun-
lop, in whose employ htf remained four
years. During this time he was an
earnest student and became a registered pharmacist under the laws of
this state. Eleven years ago he went
to Midland and for five years was in
the employ of Anderson Bros., after
which he and Ellexy Anderson became
the owners and proprietors of the
business. By courteous and honest
dealing they had established a splendid
business when "Death, which comes
font once, yet comes that once to all,"
stepped in as he was beginning to en.
joy the fruits of his labors.
He leaves a father, mother, three
sisters, Mrs. D. Kump, Misses Gussie
and Sarah, and two brothers, Wesley
and Emerson.
''Sam" was of a loyal and generous
heart, beloved by all, and the entire
community tender to the bereaved
relatives their warmest sympathy.-
His many good traits and his genial
disposition will long be remembered
bf all who knew him.

Card of Thanks.
Words fail to express the heartfelt

At the last meeting of the council
Aid, DUnlop presented an ordinance
relating to hawking and peddling,
shows, exhibitions, theatres, auctions,
traveling physicians, billiard and pool

etc., which will be the means of protecting our merchants and all other
citizens'from all classes of fakes, and
fakirs. It is wiso'law which will benefit all. Below we give a synopsis of
the ordinance:

imprisonment in the city or county
jail not exceeding 90 days, or both
such fine and imprisonment aD the

A Splendid Course of Lectures.
A dozen of the representative business and professional men of the city
met last Monday evening and organized the "Business Men's Lecture
Association." The-object is to.give a
course of six lectures during the fall
and winter months. Six of the best
speakers on the American platform
will be procured and it is expected
that the series of lectures will begin
Tuesday evening, Hov.l. This series
of lectures will be of untold benefit to
the people of this community and the
worlc should have the hearty endorsement of all. "We grow like what we
think of, therefore let us think of the
good, the true and the beautiful,"
''We become like those whom we
associate wjth, therefore let us associate with only those who arc noble and
refined," These lectures and lecturers will have all of these good
qualities.
The association has decided to make
the price of admission 25 cents for
each lecture, or a saving can be made
by buying a season ticket for one
dollar,

house, Koy. 4, 2898. All persons desiring to take lessons will please call
on .her at The Calkins, Friday, Oct. 21.
Hours fromllO to 12 a.m.; 2 to 4 p. m.
Her Sufferings Ended.
After months of patient suffering,
Mrs. Lucy Ann Smith passed ayvay
Saturday, Oct. 8, 1808 at7 p. m., at" the
home of her step-brother, Chas."Johnson of this city.
"Death placed his icy lingers on her
lips,
And they were stilled forever."
Deceased was born ih Stubea Co.,
Ind., Aug. 3; 1854,- and was therefore
a trifle over 44 years of age at the time
Of her death. She came with her husband to Clare many years ago and the
high esteem In'-which Mrs, Smith has
always been held by all was shown in
the hundreds of ways in which her
scores and-scores of friends tried their
utmost to alleviate the painful sufferings which she had withstood so many
months with such great fortitude and
no complaining. The funeral sermon
was preached by Elder E. Tatman and
a large concourse* of sorrowing friends
followed the remains to their final rest
in.Cherry Gtoye cemetery.
Mrs. Smith was a charter member
of tho lodge of Bafcfibone Sisters, of
this city. There were many flower
gifts from this- order. •
Mrs.-Smith was, eyer the embodiment of friendliness and good-feeling,
always with a pleasant word of greeting, and it is inexpressibly sad that
her life should be taken away.
All Are <iood Men,
Lym Leaih as sheriff has made so
good a record, ia economy and eyery
other way, that he will certainly be
re-elected by a greatly increased majority. Frank Mqrrissey is a model
clerk and register. He has shown his
efficiency and is well liked by ali;
everything is right In his office. The
feeling that he ought to be re-elected
is general. Was. H. Browne was one
of the very best and most popular
tieasurers the county ever had and
the people of ail parties will be glad
to again place him in this important
position. Surveyor Bichardson has
made a- good record of attention to
business ?nd Dr. B. A. Gray and Wm,
M.-Temple for coroners are more than
equal to the demands of that office.
Geo, J. Cummins will make an able
prosecuting attorney. AH are worthy
of the election which it is expected
they will receive.
A Farmers' Institute.
A letter from Supt, Kenyon L. But-
terfleld, of tbe agricultural college, to
A. J. Doherty of this city, relative to
holding a one-day meeting in this city
for tbe benefit of farmers, states that
Wednesday, Dec. 7, has been assigned
for that purpose, Mr. Doherty having
generously donated the use of the
opera house for that evening. It is to
be hoped that the farmers generally
of Clare and northern Isabella counties will be in attendance on that date
for this meeting will no doubt.lead to
others, which will be of incalcuable
Value to the tillers of the soil, inasmuch as newicleas and demonstrations-
of the ways and means in which farmers wi'l receive greater results from
their labors. Later on we willgiye
the speaker's name.
H<? Toolc Frendft Leaye,
The ten cent photographer has come
and gone, leaving behind some unsettled bills and failing, to deliver
pictures which were paid for in advance. The S_ot____ has always
tried to protect its readers against
these "cheap Johns" but there are always many who pay no heed. _To one
saved moaey by buying- those loo. pictures. They were not cheap; they
were dear, as the pictures were poor.
It always pays to patronize only the
home "merchant <jr artist. They are
here to stay, pay taxe"s and know that
chey musf; give the buyer good value
and furnish what they pay for.
Always remember that the other
fellow understands his own game better than you do.
Settlers Know a Good Thin«j.
Joseph Hudson, of Dover, Is having
great success selling wild land this
fall, having sold nearly 2,000 acres of
the Whitney- & Batchelor lands in
tho last month. This land is all in
Grant township and Is bought for
actual settlement. It is nearly all the
unimproved land left in the township.
Settlers who come to Clare county
certainly make no mistake. The land
is good,, the climate healthful,
schools are the best and there is not a
thing grown or raised* but what can
always be marketed in Clare at the
highest prevailing prices.

Autumn in the Country.
Pumpkin pio and apple.ciderl
Cut 'er loose and open wider!
Ajin't no time like fruitful autumn;
Butter nufcs in river bottom!
Who said fall was melancholy?
Just the time to be real jolly!
Stir that ste.ithing apple butter;
Fry them doughnuts-hear 'em sputterl
See them treos with apples laden;
See the buxom country maiden!
Scenes of plenty, bliss Arcad'n.
Sparkling eyes and rosy features!
Joyous, blessed, happy creatures";
Apple snits and pumpkin slices;
Eggs and butter bring good prices!
Grau'ries full and runnin'over;
Bulging haymows sweet with clover.
Country sausage! Goodness, land sakes!
Hurry up them buckwheat pancakes!
My, oh my I   But don't we pity
Poor folks IiYin' in the city!
"The Drummer Lacldie.''   '
Probably the first copyrighted poem
ever issued to a resident of this city
was granted recently to John W. Dun-
lop, M. D., L. L. D. -"The Drummer
Laddie" is its title. The poem is
written in the Scotch dialect and as
we have- heard it rea/1 can say that
every stanza and evoryjine contains
beautiful thought. "The Drummer.
Laddie" will probably first be placed
before the public in a neatly printed
edition at the next meeting of the
Michigan Knights of the Grip. We
predict for its able author .much
success.
Burglars.'
Burglars attempted to break into
the house occupied by Daniel Dlneen
in the first ward last Friday night.
The occupants heard the marauders
and as soon as tbe plunderers heard
there was a shot gun in the house,
stole away. They had the audacity to
return again, however, but were a
second time- warned to keep away or
take the contents of .a..shot gun. They
stayed away,
Keep your doors locked, Keep^ a
shot gun handy.
Business Changes.
The Stevens house changed hands
the first of this week, Chas. Petoit
having sold to Jas, Lackie. Mr. Lackle
was formerly engaged in the restaurant business hero. Mr. Pettit has
moved his household goods into the.
Munns house on Seventh street. He
expects soon to engage In the manufacture of brooms here, in which business he was engaged at Calkinsville before coming to Clare.
A "Whipper-will,"
Tuesday noon last as a newsman was
returning from dinner he overheard a
faimer who resides near Mt. Pleasant
say to a town, acquaintance, "Say, by
jing, that is a whipper-will of a mill
up there, ain't It? GuessT'll come here
to do my tradin' after this." ' That is
ace high for the mill and our farmer
friend will find our merchants Just as
good as the mill to trade with.v"
Aid a Good Cause.
