•Bhe general committee for Decoration Day has been •hart >at work for
tw© weeks getting every thing ready
for the observance of Memorial Day on
a. gsale never before undertaken in this
city and perhaps not equalled in this
section of the state. Gommittees have
visited several of tbe neighboring cities and villages and where they have
x&et been they are so©m to go. Fiom
every side come assurances that large
representations will be present from
Cadillac, Evart, Harrison, Tarwell,
Midland and other places, including
&ands, various fraternal orders, the G.
A..B. posts, firemen and citizens.
Special rates and train accommodations have been assured on the T. & A.
.A.,-the I\ & P. M. -main line and the
Harrison branch, so that every one
within a radius of 50 miles of Clare may
.attend and return home the same day.
.A special train will .mn from Cadillac
jsaasl return, accommodating people
from that city and .points along the
Hue. "It is understood that a rate of
^-one-half fare or. less will be. given on
.all roads.
■The local arrangements will be made
with great care and '.with especial reference to the great crowd which will
.-doubtless be far greater than on any
previous occasion, in .the history of the
"City.
The especial intei&st will center in
the ceremonies of Ufiveiling the soldiers' monument, the tot to be erected north of Grand Bapids, and in the
address of the orator of the day, Judge
. S. B. Daball of St.. J-o&ns,
Tghe unveiling of a soldiers' monument is no common occurrence. It is
an object lesson in patriotism to all
who witness it and obssrve'the impressive ceremonies connected therewith.
Every man, woman aad child within
-reaching distance, should begirt to plan
...now to be in Glare Mar 30. Speak to
_your neighbor about it and interest
Mm incoming. The veterans are dropping from the .ranks "one by one and
jaoon will be with us n® more. Come
..out and show them, their sacrifice is
not forgotten.
!"*Oeowh t&emmtMaurels, those heroes of ours,
«Oover each mouHcl-withyour beautiful flowers,
Bring your Iresh garlands £o strew on each
grave,
I»et us remember our noble aad brave.
Some have a resting place ever unknown,"
. But their brave spirits to neayen have flown,
43-fere them some token, some taabute of ours,
Sffire for them only the choicest of flowers.

is moving J. W. Dunlop's large barn
from east-sixth street to the latter's

is quite an undertaking but •'Tony5-is
equal to the case. The barn is now
moving south on Beech street.

W. L. Lyons of Dover sustained a
severe loss by fire during the heavy
gale of Monday, The dwelling house
on his farm a mile west of Dover was
burned, destroying about a dozen ot
twenty choice plum and cherry trees
by the fire blowing among them. Mr.
Lyon does not care so much for the
house which can be rebuilt, but the
loss of the trees is irreparable, as they
were a thrifty orchard which he set
out eleven years ago. The house was
occupied by a family by the name of
Thorn who lose their goods.
"Lost in Cadillac," is the title of a
thrilling story that Mrs. E. H. De-
Vogt is about to write, we are informed.
Thereby hangs a tale, the particulars
of which she is probably better prepared to tell than any one else. While
Mr. and Mrs. DeVogt and little son,
Leo, were in Cadillac one day this
week, the little fellow -unused to the
noise and confusion of a big (?) city,
got separated from the rest of the party for a few minutes, and he was not
found until his mother had some what
less than half the population hunting
for him. £fGene? intends to have a
suitable label engraved and tied to the
boy the next time he visits the m,e-
tronolis of Wexford county.
The village of McBainwas visited by
a severe fire Monday, which, in the
high wind, had full sweep. The losses
were; H. W. Webster, hotel, $1,500,
contents, $500, both insured for $900;
hotel barn, $300; S. E. Martin, grocery
and dwelling house, $600; C.-Ternaal,
dwelling and contents, $1,500: Symes
Bros., barn and contents, $1,000. In
Symes' barn was a horse owned by O.
A. Taylor worth $200. ISo insurance
except on the hotel. Davy & Co. of
this city, had $1,500 interest in the
shingle mill which fortunately did not
burn, but you may be sure the firm was
rather interested in the fire until they
received positive word that their mill
was not among the losses, as there was
no insurance on it.
J. C. Rorison is at work at Temple.
S. A. Sutherland is at Coleman today.
Mrs. Carl Kernin, of Grant township

days of this week with her daughter,

The streetocommissioner is doing a
good job in grading the road and clearing out logs and stumps this side of
Cherry Grove.
An unusual phenomenon was the
rain bow after sunset last evening,
which glowed long after the sun had
sunk from sight.

Chas. Korthon, of Vernon township,
sold 150 bushels of Rural Bew Yorker
2*0. 2, seed potatoes to F. W. Reed of
Oakley for 75 cents a bushel, one day
this week. Mr. Reed selected these
after going as far north as Cadillac,
looking for something to suit him.
Farmers who are really interested in
potato culture and the prevention of
the various diseases of that tuber,
should drop a postal card to the department of agriculture, Washington,
D. C, and ask for a copy of "Bulletin
No. 15." which tells all about how to
treat potato diseases. A card is all it
will cost.
Henry Wilson and wife expect to
move back soon to their former home
in Ontario. Mrs. Wilson will return
next week and Mr. Wilson later. A
complimentary social was given them
last Thursday afternoon and both Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson were made recipients
of several useful presents They have
many warm friends who will regret
their departure.
Landlord J. W. Calkins has an interesting souvenier of his recent western
trip and a reminder of the notorious
outlaw Chris Evans which he prizes
quite highly. - It is nothing less than
the last cartridge from Evan's revolver.
He came into possession of the relic in
this manner: Evans, who was as much
of a terror to Arizona, Utah and Southern California as ever Jesse James was
to the country east of there, and had
killed as many men and held up as
many trains and stage coaches as the
next man, was captured after a hard
fight and brought into Los Angeles in
March while Mr. Calkins was there. In
fact he was brought into the telegraph
office where Mr. Calkins was at the
time. The sheriff who had taken the
bandit's revolver turned to Mr.Calkins,
whom he knew, and handed him the
solitary unexploded cartridge which
the weapon, a 45-caliber Colts, contained. The primer had failed to explode, as can be seen by the dent made
by the firing-pin or else another man
would have bit the dust. Fred Killmar
the jewlerhas neatly engraved the
shell as follows, "The last compliment
of Chris Evans, March 4,1894."
The "Junior" base ball club is being
reorganized.
Chet Stileshas moved into theBeebe

Jr., as U. S. Senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Stock-
bridge, meets with approval from all
sides.
H. H. Bogue of Harrison and IS". D.
Watkins of Farwell met with J. H.
Carpenter of this city. Tuesday, it
being a session of the soldiers' relief
commission.
The Glare "Stars", a juvenile base
ball club went to Coleman last Saturday and played a game of ball with a
club there. The score was 24 to 16 in
favor of the Clare boys.
There must have been a reeoncila-
tion between the referee and the anti
factions. We observe that Postmaster
Maynard has had his wbiskers cut a
la Dickinson. It's quite becoming,
too.
The attention of every one, but
especially of township and city clerks
and treasurers and township boards, is
called to an article elsewhere in this
issue from the soldiers' relief commission.
L. Blackburn made the distance from
Clare to Alma Wednesday morning
with his wheel in four hours with
rough roads. When within two miles
of Alma his handle bar broke. He returned by rail.
Midland Republican: The Junior
ball team was organized Friday even
ing. Ewart Gardner is captain; Cash
Anderson, business manager and secretary; Clifford Olmsted, treasurer.
They talk of arranging a game with
the Clare Juniors for Decoration Day.
It* was Mrs. O'Leary's cow that set fire
to Chicago, but it was A. Straub's cow
at Harrison that brought out the
whole neighborhood last Friday night
to witness a murder,—but there wasn't
any murder. Straub can explain the
whole thing to you, but if you want to
interview him about it you had better
be on the other side of a forty acre lot,
so the boys say.
Patrick Casey of Harrison was Monday adjudged insane by the medical
examiners called by Judge of Probate
McLellan and was this morning taken
by Sheriff Brown to Traverse City.

that his wife has $2,000 of his money
hidden in the house. His specially
hobby is to buy $8 cigars and make a
mint of money off them. He has occasional lucid intervals.
Tne crop report for April says nearly
97 per cent of the total wheat crop in
the state is grown in the southern and
central counties. {'Timothy and June
grass meadows are in prime condition.
The statement that they never looked
better at this time of the year occurs
frequently in correspondent's notes.
Clover that was seeded last year promises an average crop, but old clover is
about all destroyed, probably in most
cases by the clover root borer. Various names as "grubs," "crown-worms,"
"insects," "green, brown and yellow
worms," "root-borers," small black bug
that eats the clover roots off," etc., are
given in the reports. ■ One correspondent in Livingston county reports from
eight to forty little green worms,
about one-fourth of an inch long,
around each clover stool. It is estimated that one-fourth of the clover in
the southern counties will be plowed
up. The average condition of what
remains ranges from 81 per cent in the
southern counties to 98 per cent in the
northern counties. The present outlook for an average crop of apples is
encouraging. The figures for the
southern counties are 74 per cent.
Peaches promise from five-eights to
three-fourths of a full average crop.
