The reliable weather prophets say
we are going to bave some wind storms
and tornados. Perhaps we will, and
perhaps we won't, but these weather
prophets are getting so tbat they can
hit the nail on the head pretty near
every time; and in order to be on the
safe side you should protect yourself
against lass by getting a tornado policy
on your property from C. H, Clark,
Clare's real estate and insurance agent.
The cost for a tornado policy is a
mere trifle.
The twenty-fourth semi-annual distribution of primary school interest
money was made by Supt. of Public
Instruction Hammond, Tuesday,in accordance with act 202, of the session
laws Of 1885. These distributions are
mado on May 10 and ITov. 10 of each
year, tbat of May being smaller than
the one in November for the reason
that the bulk of the railroad taxes
which constitute the greater portion
of this fundi are not paid until later
iu the year. The total amount to be
distributed this month is 8376,724.16,
and the total number of children of
school age—between Ave and twenty
years—included in the apportionment
is 697,655. The per capitarate isabout
55 cents. Glare county has 2,34. children of school age, consequently ber
share is $1254.98.

A Washington dispatch to the Free
i-ress of yesterday morning among
other things pays the following compliment to our fellow townsman:
" 'Den.' Alward, theMichigan reading
clerk, has also been faithful to his
post and officiated at the reading desk
without any assistance during the debate on the sundry civil bill."
Here's a timely wail from an exchange: "Tell me, ye winged win.s
that round my pathway roar, do you
not know some spot where wives clean
house no more; some lone, sequestered
leafy dale, some island ocean girt,
where life is not one ceaseless war with j
cobwebs and with dirt; where only (
nature's carpets spread beneath the
tired feet, and whither man is ne'er
compelled it's tiresome folds to beat ?
The light breeze fondled my face and
said, 'Beat on—there's no such place."'
We heard _. business man suggest recently, that farmers could just as well
as not manufacture their own sugar.
We believe that the idea is practical.
Sugar beets are easily grown and the
yield is prolific. The process of manufacturing beet sugar is eyen more
simple than tbat of making maple
sugar. It is simply this: The beats
are thoroughly washed ; they are then
grated on a coarse grater or chopped
into small pieces in a tank or vessel
and covered with cold or luke warm
water, in which they are left until the
sugar sells are dissolved. The water
is then drawn oil and boiled until it
becomes a syrup; a little lime added
at this point will whiten the sugar
and destroy all acids and alkali; the
syrup is then boiled until ib will
"sugar," This completes the process
so far as making the -sugar. If you
want granulated sugar you must run
the product through .a crusher. Come
on, farmers, now is the time to bust
the sugar trust.—Tuscola County Advertiser.

cealed himself behind a neighboring
stump to watch the evolutions of this
early aerial navigator. As it came
nearer we could see that it very closely resembled the human form, only its
motions were „o rapid the eye could
not follow them. At times it would
appear to leave tbe earth and sail
through space at the rate, we should
judge, of GO miles an hour. As it
turned and came down the stretch
the third time we determined to investigate. Placing ouiselves in the
middle of the road we threw up both
hands and yelled. After making several revolutions in the air it came to a
full stop, directly In front of where we
stood.

The bicycle path built by the Battle
Cieek bicycle club between the Ad-
ventist city and Augusta last year has
done more to advertise Battle Creek
than any other thing or institution.
Hundreds of riders went through on
this path between Chicago and the
eastern states, and nearly all unon
their return home wrote up an article
about it. The distance is nine miles,
two miles of which is an elegant gravel
road. The remainder of the distance
is a path built by tbe roadside, and
cost $1,000. The club will immediately commence the construction of a path
from Augusta to.Gull Lake, a distance
of four miles, after which they will
build a road to Marshall, a distance of
12 miles. They have planned this for
their summer's work. Last year they
also constructed a mile path to Cognac
lake. There is no city in Michigan
where the bicycle riders have done so
much for the construction of bicycle
paths as Battle Creek.
The "Firemen WorK   Heroically and Sue
cecd in Saving thp Books and Accounts and A.ont $300 Worth
of  -Material.
Shortly  after 12 o'clock  Saturday
night,   the planing mill   owne*d  by
Messrs.Gorr & Arrand, situated in the
south part of the city near tbe F, &
P. M. track, was discovered to be on
tire.   Alarm was given and tbe lire department turned out with their usual
promptness, also a large number  of
ci tizens.   No ti me was.lost by th e firemen in getting in'their work on  the
burning building, but it was foundtm-
possible to save tbe main building, the
lire having too much of a start oil tbe
infiamable material. About ?300 worth
of material was saved and all the lumber in the yard,   The building burned
very rapidly and it was only at great
risk tbat anything could besaved. The
mill contained complete and modern
machinery, much of it comparatively
new, and the Arm'Was doing a large
and first class business, and tbe loss
is a heavy one to Messrs, Gorr & Arrand as the property was not insurred.
It is.estimated that theloss is between
four and  five thousand dollars, but
will depend upon whether some of the
machinery can be repaired.   The mill
had stood a .quarter century.     The
origin of the fire is unknown.   Work
had been in progress until seven o'clock
the evening before, and as the fire
started in the engine room, it is probable that a spark from the furnace was,
the cause. .   .
The safe, containing the books, etc.*
was saved. Gorr & Arrand have not,
yet decided whether to rebuild or not..
Both art. hard working young men and--
the Sb_^ikbl hopes soon to see them
in good shape again.

plow fixtures and everything in the
