won tlae respect of the whole country.
"Hiss death' of ex-president 'Hayes,

Butl-ar, recalls an incident at the recent -encampment at "Washington: Ih

v&w of-85, General Hayes and General
Butler were the cheroes of the specta-

ITr.t!e*r rode in "a carriage, but Mr.
Eoyes, despite his seventy '^ears,
bilked "briskly in tihe ranks. ''When

Hayes saluted and walked on, but he

Xiikely To Be A Famine.
. It- begins to look as though . there
"would be a provision famine.
The price of all kinds of food is way
up. The hoarding house keepers are
figuring expanses down pretty close,
and if you have, heard grumblings at
the table about the quality and quantity of the board, it is a sure indiea-
' tion that the landlady is trying to
figure how she can make.a living out
of the business. The-oost of living is
avsray up, practically- *'out of sight."
Hany people are glad they are boarding and more are sorry they are
keeping house, Common commodities have greatly advanced
in price and housekeepers probably
find the cost of. their , tables
higher now than a number of years
past. Pork isthe most noteworthy
example of the way things have gone
up. It has advanced 75 per cent within the past two months and is not
Yevy plentiful at that. Beef, ■ mutton
aad veal are generally high at this
time of-, the yeaT and this year is no exception. Fresh eggs in Glare command
sboiEfe 25 cents per .dozen/ Good butter is feom 22 to 25 cents per pound
and potatoes- 80 cents a bushel. The
prices on all these commodities are
Ms-he? now than for a long time.
Hkeii canned goods, such as tomatoes,
corEj peas, etc., have advanced 25 percent. All brands of coffee ate five
oe-Ets higher than they were two
months ago. Sugar is about half a
cent higher. Hour is about the only
thing that does not fall within the
general rule. This is cheaper now
than for a numbr bf years.* Fruits
maintain about the usual prices for
this time of the year. It. also begins
to look as though there would
be a butter famine. On account of
the advance in lard, people, are using
more butter than they ever used before. In the cities- the consumption
is so great that it is almost impossible
to supply the demand.

Clare.
Is the millennium coming? The -Mc-
Bain Chronicle says: "A number of
our Mends here make a habit of handing in any local items that may come
under their observation. This kindness
is duly appreciated and we wish others
would fo-em the same habit." If the
habit is catching, may some favoring
breeze waft the germs this way.
Did you ever wonder "where all the
flour goes to?" If so, go down to the
depot and watch the long trains of
flour direct from Minneapolis that go
south on the T., A. A. & IS. M. every
day. Several trains a day, carrying
nothing but flour, the cars marked
with the brands of the leading flour
kings of the north west, pass by on
their way to the hungry east. .
An inoffensive looking individual
struck the city last Saturday and proceeded to visit the various business
houses asking alms on the grounds
that he was a crippled ex-soldier, had
been burned out several times, was un_
able to get work, had a large family to
support, etc; In a short time he had
collected quite a snug sum. In the
evening he proceeded to drown his grief
in forty-rod and continued on a spree
several days. He has evidently been
working the same game in other towns
and is a professional in the business.—
Harrison Cleaver. ISo doubt but that
it is the same gent who worked a similar dodge on Clare'people.

Harrison Cleaver: Secretary Quinn,
of the Harrison Driving Association,
informs the Cleaver that there is good
prospect bf forming a trotting circuit
to comprise associations in several
counties contiguous to Clare. Correspondence is now being had with the
several secretaries to that effect and
it is probable that a meeting for organization will soon be called- This
would insure to each association, good
races for each meeting and thus increase the pleasure of those in attendance and probably add to the receipts
to a considerable extent.

When the hoard of supervisors of
Gladwin county came to settle with
County Treasurer Hannalast week, to
their utter amazement he accounted
satisfactorially for all the funds he
had handled and turned over the balance to his successor, Frank Leonard.
As the Becord says: Mr. Hannah has
broken the record, being the first treasurer which Gladwin county has ever
had to account for all the funds whieh
have come into his hands. After having had so much fault with defaulting
county treasurers, a satisfactory settlement will be an agreeable novelty
to tlie people. The board of supervisors of 1892 and Frank Leonard presented Mr. Hanna with a gold headed
ebony cane as a token of "regard and
appreciation of the duties he has faithfully discharged as treasurer of Gladwin county."
