Chenago telegraph, {Norwich^ ZEST.
Y;): We have received -the first issue
4f the Clare Sentinel, printed at
<3lare, Michigan.   Its publishers are
Falmer & Jeffries, and its editor and
fnisiness manager? E. Bevillo Palmer,
a former resident of this village,, and
for a short time, a few years ago, an
employee iii the office of the Telegraph.' The BmimwsL is an eight
page paper, neatly printed and ably
edited. The emblehi in the title of
the Seictinel, a map of Michigan,
makes Clare the centre of that enterprising peninsula. We congratulate
Editor Palmer and wish him abundant success in materializing his am-
Mtiort.asto his new home, and may he
eventually remqdel the old saying,< "all
roads lead to Borne," into "everything
goes to Clare*" The new paper deserves the support of the people in its
parish, and we have no doubt will receive it.    . ..,

Mt. Pleasant Democrat: A new paper has been born at Clare, and has
Seen christened the Clare Sentinel,
its mission, avowed and determined,
to stand guard over the republican
0 -party* It comes a little late and sadly bemoans this fact, and enumerates
what it would have done had the incubating process been a little more expeditious.   The first issue does itself
proud as a newspaper just borned.

Cadillac Hews and Express:. The
Tradesman says that traveling men

Tlieir Preparations Nearly Complete for
Handling: a big lot of Poles—Clare will
be tne "Distributing; point for Micnigan
—Many poles now Keady—Sliipments
Begun.
One day tnis week the SEisrrmEL accepted an invitation from Cbet Stiles,
manager fcir Ballentyne & Clark, to
inspect the cedar-pole yard which is in
progress of grading about 80 rods up
the Meredith branch track above the
union depot. About 4 or 5 acres pi
ground have been cleared away and
^fitted for operations and already qnite
a number of cedar poles are on the
ground arranged in piles according to
size. A side track has been built
along one side of the. grounds and an
excellent banking ground constructed.
Ballentyne & Clark are extensive
handlers of cedar poles which are intended for telegraph, telephone and
electric wires, cedar paving, etc., with
headquarters in Chicago. They have
five extensive yards where poles are
collected, sorted and reshipped. the
station at Clare is the only one for
Michigan and will handle all their
Michigan business whichris enormous.
They have operated some at Meredith
but Clare offered the best shipping
f aciliteis they could find so they came
here.
Thecompany has about 8,000 or 9,000
poles on skids in the woods and will
handle about 25000 during the season,
gathering them in the winter and
shipping in the summer. The business in the woods will keep a large
number of men busy and the work of
handling here will require an additional force. The work of unloading will
be rapidly done by means of hinged
stakes which will allow the dumping
of a whole load at a time. Then the
poles mil be drawn to different parts
of the ground according to their size
and character. In the east end of the
yard are the 25 ft. 5Js (that is, 25 ft.
long and 5 inches in diameter at the
small end,} next the 25-6's, the 30-6's,
the 30-7's, etc. up to 75 ft. poles at the
west end of the yard. Negotiations
are in nrogress for another yard near
by on the T. A. A. & IS. M. track.
Anofliceandtool house is on the
ground and business will be carried on
in a systematic manner. Besides the
men employed here, there are several
men on the road buying. Success to
the. new business. Clare deserves
many more like it. There is no better
shipping point for wood products in
the state.
Everything Satisfactory.
Tuesday afternoon the stockholders
of the Clare County Savings Bank met
at the bank . and held their annual
election of officers and received the report of their committee on .inspection
•*of the bank and its accounts and
methods of -doing business. J. C.
Eockafellow-, W. A. Goodman and
Joseph Hudson constituted.^ie-CQm--"
mittee and they, report everythingsafe-
isfactory.       . ". """
The stockholders re-elected the officers of the previous year, as follows;
W. Wolsky, Pres.; C. W. Perry, 1st
vice Pres.; R H. Jenny,JJnd vice Pres.j
C. H. Sutherland, cashier; Joseph Hudson, director. The officers have under
consideration at the present time &
proposition of a Chicago firm for increasing the security of the bank safe,
although the present safe has a time
lock and considered quite modern.
The proposition is to put in a steel
front so that - it will be air tight
and hence so that no one, not even a
professional, can blow glycerine into
the locking apparatus.
More Iiiglit.
The Calkins is now lighted by an improved system of lightening which has
been introduced into . the house by
Cody.& Co., oi Chicago. The system
is called the Automatic and promises
to work to perfection. The light is
produced by kerosene oil stored in
tanks in out of-the-way corners and
conducted througe tubes by means of
a siphon near the ceiling of the rooms
to be lighted, and thence to the ornamental chandaliers. The result is a
brilliant, steady light and is said to
be quite economical.
A Bad FaU.
Anna Graver met with a painful accident at Calkinsville last week. She
is a member of Br. Shaw's houshold at
present and was crossing the road to
the meat market, carrying a child in
her arms, wnen she'slipped and fell.
Her effort to save the child from injury rendered her unable to Save herself from tbe shock of the fall. The
result was a sprained ankle and the
breaking of a bone below the knee.
She is doing well under Br. Shaw's
care and will be able, perhaps, to eat
Christmas dinner with her parents
who live just north of this city.
A Case for Capital Punisb.*m«ait.
A distressing case of depravity
comes to light in regard to the conduct of a Coleman man and his alleged
'wife toward a 10 year old daughter of
the latter. It appears that Charles
Mapes induced Mollie Steward to leave
her husband in Gennessee county and
Ijye with him;,at;.Qoleman: ■. She took
along her little'-girl,, wlio*' was aiter-
.jwardt adopted ;^by lirs.; JLemame of
Clare, but was allowed to return. At
Coleman about a month or so ago the
man treated the girl with shocking indecency that should be classed worse
than murder, and that with the wo-
man*s consent. Then the girl was
sent to some station on the T. & A. A.
road, but at Glare she left the cars and
took refuge with Mrs. Lemaine, who
learned the state of affairs and reported to Justice Carpenter, who at once
began setting the proper officers after,
the guilty parties, resulting this week
in the arrest of Mapes and companion
who are now in Midland jail awaiting
examination. Lynching is inaMhyj
but capital punishment should be restored and cover more . crimes. than
murder,       .
A Mean Trick,
The meanest trick we have heard of
lately Vas played on Wm. Nelson of
First street a few days age. He cut
some fire wood on Grouse's place, two
miles and a balf north and one mile
east of Clare, a few weeks ago. In his
.absence some one stole his ax, Fearing similar fate might befall his wood
he went up there with a team Monday, only to discover that some one
had been ahead of him and taken it
all. He did not leave his team standing alone or perhaps it would .have
gone with the rest. Mr., Nelson is not
a rich man and his loss tomes a little
hardj especially with winter coming
on.

One of the most needed cases of side
walk repairing was attended to this
week by Commissioner Rorison. A
new walk was built on the south side
of Fourth street east from the corner
of McEwan and Fourth. It has heretofore been an uneven and dangerous
walk but is now put on a grade as far
east as Mrs. Sawteirs residence*
