Monroe J. Mack, eldest and last surviving child of Andrew Mack of this
city, died about 10 o'clock on Wednes-
' day morning, the cause of death being
consumption.
Monroe was born July"?, 1874 in the
room in which he died. He has grown
up among the young people of the city,
Who were greatly saddened at the news
of his rather sudden death: and with
whtm he had always been popular.
Everyone knew Monroe, his amiability
having endeared him to all, and expressions of sincere regret can be
lieard on all sides that he had been
token away so young. He attended the
schools of this city and his former
schoolmates are among those who
most deeply mourn him.
Heiwent to Minnesota about three
years ago and to New York state later
for the benefit of his health but again
returned to his birthplace without permanent benefit. The numerous floral
tributes testify  how much  he was
loved.
Baring Monroe's illness   never    a
word of complaint did he utter.   His
thoughts were always those of thank-
l^lness for the kind words aad flowers
■ /given hy his many friends.   Sis death
Jkannothelp but fill us  with sorrow,
yet we cannot help but know that his
trials are o'er and that he will be pure
from the sins and trials which must
surely beset us.
The funeral services were conducted
this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the M.
E. church ay the Rev. A. H. Coors,
the mourners- filling the church to
overflowing. The following persons,
"Monroe's old school mates, act as pall
hearers; Mell Buell, Clarence Yan-
Bruntj Claud Rockwell, Raleigh Giberson, Will Parrish and R.G. Jefferies.
Whereas, in view of the loss that is
sustained in the community by the decease of a friend and schoolmate, and
of the still heavier loss by those who
were nearest and dearest to him,
therefore, be it Resolved*that it is but
a just tribute to the memory of the
deceased to say that in regretting his
removal from owr midst* we mourn for
one who was truly worthy of our respect and regard. Resolved, that the
^ ladies of La Tosca Hive, 170, extend to
Mr. Mack and our beloved sister our
sympathy in this their great bereav-
ments and though they will find it
hard to say, st Thy Will be done," we
we will commend them for consolation
to Him who orders all things for the
best and whose chastisements are
meant in mercy, .Resolved, that these
resolutions be placed upon the records
•of our Mve and publishes in our city
LONG   AND   SHORT.

There was an adjourned regular
meeting of the council last Monday
evening. The five newly elected aldermen had taken their oath of office
and were in their seats, Mayor Rorison
presiding. The statement read by
Clerk Ross is published elsewhere. It
is the best and most complete statement ever published, showing minutely how the monies have been used
during the past year The park question was discussed and systematic
work; will be commenced on the park
very soon by the.park commission.
We understand that the council is
thinking seriously of doing away with
a street commissioner this year, and
instead will appoint a street committee, composed of earnest citizens,
who will look after the work,their work
to be given gratuitously. This would
be a good move. It would save the
city a good many dollars and there
are a number of citizens who have
sigmfied their willingness to act as
members of that committee.

Pros. Atty Leet of Gratiot county
was in Clare this week on his way
home, having made a trip through
this shoestring district of ours. Mr.
Leet is in the field for the nomination on the republican ticket, for representative in Congress.
'Tis strange, passing strange, this
active interest democrats are taking
in Hazen Pingree, the candidate for
govenor subject to the ratification of
the republican state convention. There
will be a Pingree pole raising at
Seeley's corners two miles south of
Clare next Saturday afternoon anct
democrats are the prime movers in it.
Mr. Pingree says he's a true blue republican of the Lincoln type, too.
Glad to note that democrats are seeing
the errors of their way and are gradually, but surely, coming over.
• Ed A. White, the jeweler, is thinking of organizing a stock company for
the manufacture of a mousetrap,
which he has invented. It's a dandy
and no mistake and ougnt to be a
great seller." Will try and describe it:
In the first place a ten qt. pail is used,
partly filled with water; across the
rim is fastened a strip of tin, balanced
in the middle and on the end of the
tin over the water is a piece of cheese,
Mr. Mouse sees the cheese and runs
quickly up the tin to feast, but before
he reaches the cheese, down flies the
tin and the result is that Mr. Mouse
soon finds a watey graye. On Tuesday, about three hours after the invention was put in operation, nearly
a dozen mice had been drowned.
Dayton, Tenn., April 8th.—A. N.
Brown, editor of the Dayton Leader,
was waylaid last night while entering
his own yard by two unknown men
who shot flye times at him, two of the
shots taking effect, one in his leg and
one in his back, the latter being dangerous. His printing office wa$ entered
last night and type scattered through
the town. His assailants are thought
to be members of a political ring he
has been attacking in his paper. The
above is a clipping from a Detroit
paper and apears to be the A. N. at
one time editor of the North Western
Tribune of Mt. Pleasant who turned
things upside down generaly. He was
a* great man*to expose frauds and considerably inclined to be one himself.
He could create news himself to fill a
fair sized daily.
Last spring the prohibitionists of
Clare elected city clerk, city treasurer,
justice of the peace, one supervisor,
one alderman and a constable or two,
the total votes for the successful candidates ranging from 145 to 160. This
year the prohibition candidate for
mayor received 48 less votes than he
did a year ago, the candidate for clerk
received 48 less, the candidate for city
treasurer 36 less, the candidate for
school inspector 50 less, the candidate
for justice 58 less. Their candidate
for supervisor of the 3rd ward, who
was elected last year, received less
than half as many votes this year as
last, his total vote then being 64 and
now 31. Last year ifc was almost a
clean sweep for the prohibitionists *,
this year they elect city treasurer hy 5
plurality and one alderman by 11, and
in each one of these cases it was not
so much a prohibition victory as a*per-
sonal triumph.

YOURS TO PLEASE—
.   HARRIS, THE  GMOCEffi
f&o
.RS. P. Mo SHEARER.
We are pained this week to have to
chronicle the death of Mrs P. M.
Shearer, which occurred last Sunday
evening, shortly after nine o'clock.
Although the deceased was well advanced in vears. the news of her death
was a sudden blow to her many friends
her sickness having heen of but a few
days' duration. Pamelia Taylor was
born in Saratoga county, N.Y., in 1817,
and was therefore "79 years of age at
the time of her death. Was married
to Peter M Shearer March 9th, 1843, in
the town of her birth. The following
year they came to Michigan, living in
the township of Grass Lake untiM846,
when they removed to their farm in
the township of Waterloo, Jackson
county, which was then ja dense wilderness, Mr. Shearer having cut the
first tree which was felled upon it.
This place they cleaned up and remained upon until 1863, when they removed to their farm in Grass Lake,
Jackson county, remaining thereuntil
the fall of 1888, when they came to
this city, where Mrs. Shearer has since
resided, her husband dying here in
1893, at the age of 80. There was bora
to them six ehildren, John EL, Alonzo
M., Mary S., Rush, Elliott D., aad
Helen M., Elliott dying in Augnsk
1893, and Rush in July, 1894, Ofhe
funeral services were held WednesdW
afternoon at her late home, conducted"
oytheRev.S. A.Long. The high.esteem
in which deceased was held wals shows
by the large number of sorrowing
friends who attended the services and
followed the remains to their last resting place.  . _2 ,;
Card of Thanks.
We desire to extend our sincere
thanks to the many "friends who so
kindly ministered to ns during th©
illness and death of our mother.
