A lawyer in the court room may
call a man a liar, scoundrel, villian or
thief, and no one makes complaint
when court adjourns. If a newspaper

The special meeting of the city
council Friday evening, to consider
what should be done regarding a better water supply developed the fact
that the present well can be made
much more serviceable by removing
the- accumulated sand and cutting
down the present pipes and putting in
more. This work is now underway,

tion in regard to the supply of water
in case of fire, but everyone should
observe the oft-repeated request to
shut off all hydrants immediately on
the sounding of a fire alarm.
An exchange says: When the
breezy blooming bloomers are universally the go, how will tailors press
creases in them, I should like to know?
When the baby's head is nodding and
wants to take a nap, how can mamma
lull her darling in a bifurcated lap?
How can Bridget shoo-the chickens
with no skirt to flop and fling, when
the creatures go a-grubbing in the
garden in the spring? But the question most annoying that our speculations catch: Can she vie with men in
action when she goes to strike a
match^

Chase, hailing from St. Joseph county,
reached Clare about the 4th. He claimed not only to be president of the TJ.
S. by inheritance and governor of
Michigan but also claimed to have a
clear title to seven and a half townships in Clare county. He evidently
was non compos mentis, but some un-
regenerate son of Adam directed him
on the road to Harrison where he
showed up about Friday in the register's office looking up his titles.
Sheriff Brown kindly took him in, ascertained from correspondence^ that
he was a harmless insane person who
was in the habit of working for his
keeping down in St. Joseph county
where he is a well known character,
and Monday started him by rail back
toward his old haunts.

this paper are open to our readers, one
and all alike, and if you see anything
you dislike, don't go around snooting
off your mouth about it.   We will not
refuse to publish anything you may

the score standing eight fc» four. But
the Clare boys were playing ball all

to take theirbat at the last half of
the'ninth they were one behind.. Excitement was high and the vast crowi
was about evenly divided—nearly every
one making a choice and hollering for
that choice. With a man on second
and a man on third without a man out
it looked bright indeed for Clare, but
when the Midland pitcher retired ^wo:
Clare boys on strikes everybody |eld

stepped to the plate it was ball one
and the next one he accepted and sent
a hot liner into the field letting In the
two runs. Score, 11 and 12.' It was
without a doubt the" best base ball
game ever played in Coleman.
