day fipr the daily issiife and as high as

it easily at the head of the list.of great
ChiclLgo newspapers, It is certalinly a
goodjj clean, family newspaper _ oi the
highipst order. And now by a financial stroke the Inter-Ocean has become part of the Sentinel to that ex

Women everywhere pay less attention to the laws of health than men.
They have less exercise, less fresh air;
less sunshine and-less variety in their
lives than men. Hence, although the
most beautiful women are more beautiful than the handsomest men, yet in
all civilized communities the average
man is a finer specimen of creation
than the average woman. First health,
then beauty, and with the facilities
of living a clean life and the privileges
of being gay and happy an intelligent
woman* has the secret of personal
charm.
"We do move—fast "in some directions, slow in otheis," remarked a citizen.. "It has taken many years to
get up even a resemblance of a protest
against tight check reins on horses,
but I see the movement has set in, and
no less than five hundred veterinary
surgeons' have united in condemning
use of tight check reins. It has been
demonstrated that to hold back a
horse's head after the manner so -com-
monly in use is terribly cruel as well
as injurknist. A continual strain is on
the muscles, and likewise the strength
of the horse materially interfered
With. Put a man in like position,
place a gag in his mouth, and- tie his
head back, and he would sooner be
dead than forced to keep in that position ahy^great length of time. I hope
to see the the cruelty abolished."
Mrs. Hattie Waller, wife of Manly
Waller, formerly living at dare, died'
at Saginaw, January 28,aged 28. Death
resulted from a surgical operation
necessary in removing a cancer. Circumstances connected with the death
of Mrs. Waller are attended with much
sadness. Deceased had been in poor
health, for over a year-,but had no idea
of its serious nature. Two weeks
previous to her death she weat to a
hospital in Saginaw to be treated, expecting to return in a short time in
comparative health. The cause other
ill health was'learned, and the truth
was candidly laid befor Hattie, who.,
knowing the chances were largely
against her, with true christian forti-
tude> unflinchingly gave herself into
the hands of the skillful surgeons^
trusting her life might be spared to
her f aimily..' But the months of suffering had so reduced her naturally frail
body ;fchat she cduld not rally from the
operation of removing the" canceir,
whicli was successfully done. All was
done for her that loving hearts
could. do,but to no avail. Her parent^
Mr.and Mrs. Miliard live at Montrose,
who, with her husband, two children,
brothers and sisters, besides a large
circle of friends who have become endeared to her, are left to mourn tobr
early death.

Clarence Hayner came up from
Loomis about noon, today, in quest of
surgical assistance for Thos. Snell of
the firm of Snell & Co., who was injured at about 11 o'clock today by the
explosion of an emery wheel at their
mill. Flying fragments of the wheel
struck him inthe f ace,cutti ng through
the nose and indenting the skull above
the eyes. It was impossible to say,
until an examination had been made,
what the extent of the iniury might
be.   Dr. Maynard answered the call.
Miss Annie Mcintosh was killed at
Coleman by the east bound passenger
train, yesterday morning. She stepped;
in front of the train as it was ap-!
proaching the depot, whether with

track and her skull crushed, her death
resulting in a few minutes. She had
recently moved from Saginaw to Coleman. Something over two years age
she was severely hurt in a similar ways
brought suit for damages, but lost her
case as it appeared that she was hurt
through her own carelessness.
A project is on foot to organize a
Central Michigan Base Ball League to
embrace Harrison, Clare, Farwell, Mt.
Pleasant, Evart, Midla;nct _nd perhaps
Beed City. The idea of the projectors
of the scheme is to adopt a schedule of
games so that each club will meet
each other club an equal number of
times as in other base ball associations
and award a pennant to the club leading at the end of the season. Amoqg
the arguments mentioned in favor of
the league we have heard these: No
loss of time in arranging games; better interest among players; better interest and better patronage of friends
of the game; less expense of travel
and hotel bills, as contracts can "be
made at the opening of the season;
definite idea as to what -expenses will
be:; less loss of time in practice, as
chabs will be playing often enough to
keep in shape. Each of the towns
mentioned have been asked to send a
delegate with power to act in the matter, to meet at the Calkins hotel,
Clare, at 111 o'clock a. m., Tuesday,
February 20. Already several of .litre-
towns have signified their interest in
the movement and it is likely that .at
least six clubs will enter the league!,,
Justice Wait of Farwell had a busy
day in couirt yesterday. The first case
was that of two boys on Tuesday took
a|pocket book, containing something
oVer $25, from the coat pocket of their
teacher, Miss Lottie White, as the
coat was hanging in the cloak room at
school. The boys at first denied any
Knowledge of the affair, but finEtlly
tpld impossible stories about; finding
the pocket book, ending with confess,
ing the theft and returning the "prase.
It appeared that this was not the first
offense offthe older boy, who; is about
tiherteen years old. They will probably
be sent to' the Befoirm School. An-
cither case was a charge of assault with
intent to, do great bodily harm broiaht
by one Crowley, of- Moore's crossing,
igainst Elmer Quimley. Crowley and
Ibis boys plaimed that Quimley pointed
a gun at them and sittempte,- to shoot
them. 3?roscuting attorney Wickham
entered a nolle prosequi in the case as
examination showed that^the Crowley
jwere the the real offenders having attacked Chiimley, who snatched an unloaded gun and snapped it at them to
jfrighten them, an act of self defense.
Lt is the same family of Crowleys_that
last summer lived north east of Clare
and without sufficient ca|ise on one
occasiori. assaulted Frank Pattersbn of
Mt. Pleasant and ;,Dustin Martta of
