Reports from the surrounding country go to show that the high 'gale of
Sunday last was productive of much
damage and distruction to property,
and it is very evident that it will he
the cause of considerably shortening
the fruit and grain crops. On these
it had the effect, in appearance, of a
heavy frost, produced by the stinging
of the sand-laden wind. Barns, houses
and otlier buildings were overturned or
unroofed; fences suffered considerably;
fruit and shade trees were uprooted
and broken off; forest trees kept up
one incessant crash as they bowed
and fell before the fierce and prolonged gusts which tore roads through
blocks of green standing timber, and
in many places utterly ruining valuable bushes. Happily, as far as we
have learned, no loss to life has resulted in tbis neighborhood from the effects of the cyclonic visitant. The
gale was the heaviest known to have
prevaled in these parts and is thought
to have originated from the disastrous
cyclone in Texas. The rapidity with
which the state is becomingdisaforest-
ed is becoming a very serious question
and was never brought more forcibly
to our notice than on Sunday last;
Surrounded as we are by,vast bodies
of water,and the natural-wind breakers
cut away, there is nothing to save us
from ''reaping the whirl-wind" unless
we re-plant. Buildings should be surrounded by trees, country roads made
pleasant by the same means. Every
tree planted means protection.
Fires started up in many places and
did much damage. Two'farmers living six miles north of this city, named
Mike Monday and Jerry Parrish, lost
everything they possessed. The fire
came through the old lumberings to
the westward, and the buildings becoming ignited, burned with such
rapidity that nothing could be saved
and the families were left entirely
destitute. Frank Acre and Wm. McNeil, living further north, each lost
a barn. In response to a call for help
from a committee composed of L. W.
Leach. Jos. Hudson and W. L. Lyons,
money, clothing, lumber, shingles, furniture, etc, were generously donated.
The commitoee wish to extend thanks
to those whose who so readily responded to their appeal.

The Grandfather Trout Captured.
Saturday morning last, Jacob Van
Yalkenburg of Lake station, an employe of the F. & P.M., and president
of tbe Greenwood club, on- the banks
of the Pere Marquette river, captured
a rainbow trout which weighed eight
pounds and two ounces, and measured
26 inches in length and 18 inches
around. In the party with the lucky
fisherman were Ralph Morley, Dr. O,
P. Barber, Ed. McCarty and Frank
Spencer, members of the club. The
Pere Marduette river abounds in rainbows and more exciting contests have
been carried on along its banks .than
in any other stream in thestate. Many
two pounders have been landed, but
the larger ones have been so shy that
when a three-pounder has been landed,
the news has been earried to all the
fishermen of the state. Down below
the mouth of the Baldwin, there are
several well known rainbow holes, and
once in awhile one of the «ol-d timers
comes out long enough to take the
breath away from the caster and usually carry off his leader and flies and
he is lucky if he escapes without a
broken rod. By creeping rup on the
bank and peering cautiously over into
the holes on a hot day, these old
grandfathers have frequently been
seen, and many a day has been put in
against them, but they have always
been too f oxv. The splendid specimen
captured made a gallant fight before
being landed. It was seen by some
of our citizens.

Bret Harte's new story and Jerome
K. Jerome's latest piece of fiction have
both been secured by the Ladies'Home
Journal for immediate publication.
Jerome's story is called "Reginald
Blake, Financier and Cad." and sketches an incident in fashionable London
society. Bret Harte calls his story,
"The Indiscretion of Elsbeth," and
pictures the romance of a young American who falls in loye with a German
nrincess, masquerading as a dairy
maid.
Beaverton Clarion: A scrap of paper, evidently torn from a scratch
book, has been handed to us. It was
taken from a bottle, found floating in
the river near the Merril farm and
about two miles from this place. The
slip of paper had writing upon it which
ran as follows: {<G.W.Curtis,drowned,
Nov. 5,1895. For love. Write to Miss
Katie Butah, Mt. Pleasant, the finder
of this bottle, and tell the fatal news.
Signed:   G. W. Curtis, Loomis."
That New York City consumes nine
hundred and sixty million eggs in one
year: nefarly three hundred thousand
pounds of better ever day; and as
many gallons of milk; that it eats
three hundred and five million pounds
of beef in a year, seems astounding.
And yet these figures are, in reality,,
very moderate calculations whieh Mr.
John Gilmer Speed has reached upon
exhaustive investigation, and embodied in an article on "Feeding a City
Like New York," which he has written for The Ladies' Home Journal.
The Lincoln paper in the, June
number df McClure's Magazine exhibits Lincoln (mainly by new reminis-
ence and anecdote) as a father, friend,
and neighbor, on his return to the
practice of the law at Spripgfield, after
] serying a term in Congress. It is extremely interesting. And interesting
in the same way as affording a perfectly fresh, near,informal view of the real
man, is an account of General Grant,
with annecdotes and passages from the
conversations, by the man who served
as chaplain of Grant's own regiment.
Of quite extraordinary interest also is
a series of portraits of Mark Twain—
fifteen of them, covering a perird of
thirty years, and almost putting a
circle round the globe in the variety of
localities in which they were taken.

Clare, May 18th. 1896.
The time is at hand when duty calls
us to prepare for the solemn services
of Memorial Day.   In accordance with
our rules and regulations, the 30th of
May is set apart for its reverent observance. When a liberty-loving people
enjoying the blessings of peace and
prosperity, cease from their labors and
with grateful hearts pay loving tribute
to the memory of men who finished
their course with honor and crossed
the star-lit line, now rest peacefully
under the shade of trees on eternal
camping  grounds.     Sweet be  their
sleep!   Let us again cover the mounds
with spring-time's  richest offerings.
Once more let the flag they loved be
raised above them.   Let silvered age
standing by their tombs feel that, with
the dust of such men sleeping in our
soil, the republic will stand with its
glory undimmed and its  power  unbroken. Let childhood weave garlands
for them, and at th^ir graves receive
inspiration that will keep them earnest in loyalty, pure in citizenship and
faithful to duty.   It is also our duty
to gather in the church oh the Sunday
preceding Memorial Day for such reverent worship and instruction as becomes the occasion.   We, as members
of W. S. Hancock Post, do earnestly
invite every man that served either in
the army or navy to meet with us at.
Post Hall, Sunday, May 24th, at nine
o'clock, to 'attend such seryice.   You
are also invited to meet at the1 same
place on Saturday, May 30th, at 9:30
o'clock, to form the line of march to
Cherry Grove cemetery, to  decorate
the graves of comrades.   A delegation
will meet' friends at'Yernon cemetery
at nine o'clock to decorate, there,   Especially do we ask all other organizations and friends to join with lis, march
with us and share with us the sympathy of those whose friends we remember by placing flowers on their
graves.   Come and be* one of our number.

THE SENTINEL ADS ARE READ.
The following letter received by Mr.
Dunlop from the firm of Hance Bros.
& White, the manufacturers of the
famous fruit juices sold by him, is a
compliment to his ability as a live*advertiser and shows that the Sentinel
ads are read far and near :
Philadelphia, May 13th, 189.6. '
Mb, John W. Dunlop,
"- Clare, Mich.
Dear Si3r,-T-Your very interestiug
letter of the 10th inst. received, andits
contents noted. Your advertisements
are making the Sentinel to be as eagerly looked for in this office as we
doubt not is the case in all the house-*
holds of Clare. The last week's was
particularly good, and Muggins seems.
to be excelling himself.
Yours very truly,
Hance Bros. & White.

never gained more feminine* admiration than our furniture. There's just
what's wanted for every room in the

elegance, durability are only a part of
the attractions presented. What it is
and what it looks are the two points
