Ladies: Before buying corsets you
should call and see the G. & D. and

beyond doubt, the very best corset
made. It will cost you nothing to
inspect these corsets even if you do not
indend to buy.

over the second of the buildings which
he recently purchased south of the
creek, and about October 15th will occupy it with a stock of groceries. The
building is being fitted up so he can
live over the store. The grocery business seems to be pretty well crowded
already, but if Tom goes into it he
will make a go of it as he is quite a
hustler.
The problem of draining the low
land west of Maple street on the property of J. W. Dunlop and IS. Bicknell
has been solved by the Ann Arbor people. The railroad company has leased
17 feet on the east side of their track
extending from the culvert near the
Maple street wagon bridge south to
the third culvert on the Bicknell flats,
and will construct a drain to carry off
all the water of the flats. As mentioned last week the tressles will be
filled in, iron pipes being inserted as
conduits. The proposed drain will
carry off the waters south-west of the
city quite rapidly, and necessitates
some attention on the part of the city
to the lower part of the stream.
Miss Annie Grover of Calkinsville
was in the city Wednesday.

If you are mailing a copy of The
Sentinel every week to some distant
friend, you can have a copy sent regularly from this office without much expense. In this way it goes more
promptly, and is not soiled or torn.
The state fish commission will ask
the next legistature for at least $10,000
as a fund to be used in enforcing the
game and fish law. Game Warden
Hampton has appointed deputies
enough, but in many counties they
have to whistle for their pay.
The complete line of millinery goods
of all kinds which Mrs. Dwyer recently
purchased while in Detroit comprises
the most stylish and best stock of
goods to be displayed any where in this
vicinity. Ladies should buy of Mrs.
Dwyer and get better and more stylish
goods than they can of other dealers,
where they would pay more.
There never was a time when the
people watched the advertising columns of their newspaper so closely as
they do now. Money is so limited
that they are compelled to seek out
every opportunity for its expenditure,
that it may be as effective as possible.
The business men who have bargains
for the people should act accordingly.
A, H. Bockafellow of Boswell, Sew
Mexico,, has received a substantial and
well earned promo|)ion*with the Jaffa-
Prager Co., with whom he has been

a salary of $1500 per year. Clare boys
are always to the front where ever
they go.
A maiden from the city tripped
lightly 'mid the trees, she sniffed
a pungent odor that floated on the
breeze; "pray, tell me, sturdy farmer,
with arms so brown and bare, what is
the fragrant flower that scents the
balmy air?" "Why, bless you," said
the farmer with accents low and
meek, "that air un be a pole cat. I've
smelt it for a week.—Ex.
The Glare county fair will be held at
Harrison, October 9,10, II, 12. It is
sincerely hoped and urgently requested that every farmer in Glare county
will endeavor to make a good exhibit.
The races at the fair are for Clare
county horses.. The race days are
Thursday and Eriday, 11th and 12th.
Eor premium list, etc., address, A. R.
Canfield, Harrison, Mich.
The custom of publishing in the
newspapers throughout the country
the lists of unclaimed letters at post-
offices will be abandoned, and the list
will be bulletined in the post office
buildings hereafter. Acting Postmaster General Jones has decided to
stop the old custom, as congress failed
to make a sufficient appropriation for
the usual amount of advertising. The
Sentinel has published the list each
week as a matter of news and an accommodation to its readers and will
continue to do so.
A man went into a store in a neighboring town and asked if he could rest
four or five hours. . The proprietor,
who had just found a nest of new-born
mice in the coffee grinder, told him he
could, and then asked him why he
didn't go to the hotel. The man replied: "lam suffering from nervous
prostration, and the doctor said to get
a quiet place to rest, and I see you
don't advertise. I new that I couldn't
find a quieter place." and with that
he settled back in a chair and watched
the swallows build a nest in ths cheese
case.—Ex.
Evart now has electric light. The
plant cost $5,000.
Special council meeting tomorrow
(Saturday) evening.^
The government may not print your
envelopes, but the Sentinel will.
Will Eussell lost a portion of a finger at the wooden ware factory, yesterday.
Judson Wilson cut the top of his
foot with an adz, Monday. The cut
was quite painful.
It is a positive fact that the Sentinel is read by at least 1800 or 2,000
people every week.
The Ladies' Union will serve a ten
cent supper in the church chapel,
Eriday, the 28th, from 5 to 7:30.
Business appears to be picking up.
It is because the people know the
country will soon be in the hands of
republicans.
Latest styles in fall and winter hats
have just arrived at Mrs. Goodman's
millinery store. See them before buying elsewhere.
Sunday, September 23d, the T. & A.

California this afternoon, summoned
by a telegram announcing the dangerous illness of his mother.
"Never store fruit jars in the silver
closet. It has been discovered that
one rubber ring around the neck of a
fruit jar will discolor a whole closetful
of silver. To keep silverware from
tarnishing place near it a lump of
gum camphor.
Perhaps less than a score of persons
know that a congressional convention
was in session in this city today. However, such was the case. The populists of the eleventh district met here

There will be no fusion this year.
Beports to the state board of health

rheumatism, dysentary, cholera morbus, in the order named, caused the
most sickness in Michigan during the
week ending September 8. Consumption was reported at 234 places, typhoid fever at 58, scarlet fever at 37,
diphtneriaat 31, measles at 6 and
small pox at 1.
Where a, person owns all the land
surrounding and under a lake which
has no connection with other waters,
it is considered a private pond. Eish-
ing in private ponds can be prevented
by the owner posting conspicously
printed notices. A person may make a
private pond by damming a stream
that heads on his land,if the pond is
entirely on his land.
Aldermen Jenney, Lee and Converse
have been appointed a temporary park
committee and will begin at once to
stump and grade the ground of the
proposed park. Those who have so
generously promised to give their labor to the enterprise will soon be asked
to unite in a bee to clear the ground.
That is right, keep the thing hustling.
It is Mayor Welch now. At the
council meeting Monday evening the
resignation of Mayor D. E. Alward
was accepted, and Alderman J. L.
Welch was chosen to fill vacancy. The
balloting for mayor was quite spirited,
170 ballots being taken. Mr. Welch
will doubtless make a good executive,
as would several others whose names
received one or more votes during the
contest of balloting.
Wednesday, October 3d, the T. & A.
A. will run their ninth annual Ohio
excursion. Train will leave Clare at

Toledo, E'y., and Ohio Central Lines,

and Pennsylvania Go's lines. The fare
to Toledo and return will be only $5
and rates to points on above named
railroads will be proportionately low.
Baggage will be checked to destination.   Call on agents for particulars.
The following is from the Mt. Pleasant Democrat: The sentence of Lena
Kennedy to the Detroit house of correction for one year will no doubt be
very gratifying to the dare people as
it was in that city she conducted the
house of ill fame of which she was convicted. Isabella county is just a little
unfortunate in having to take care of
Clare's criminals, or those of them
which live just over the line which
runs through the city and divides the
two counties. If Glare will move over
into this county, entire, we'll go at it
and purify her moral atmosphere, but
it goes agin the grain to be obliged to
carry on missionary work where we
have so little pecuniary interest.

_ SCHOOL HOTEB..
Again school has commenced with
the daily routine of work. AU the pupils seem pleased to resume their
studies after spending a pleasant vacation. .
The eighth grade, consisting of
eleven members, has entered the high
school.
The new school board has made several short calls.
The grammar room pupils are learning the constitution of the United
States, verbatim.
Misses Doherty and McKay called
this week.
A latin class of twelve pupils has
been started.
One of the pupils of the 5th grade
in reading of "cowslip" and giving its
definition, very seriously called it
"Butter slip."
Total number of pupils enrolled in
school, 355*.   *
"Nearly all the boys in the high
school attended the reunion at Gole-
man.
The Sentinel is loyal to republican
principles and doctrines, 'and believes
that the prosperity of the nation will
be restored when the republican party
is returned to power, and the reason
that we teach republicanism and
stand by the doctrines and enunciations of Lincoln, Blaine, Harrison and
McKinley is because we believe we are
the best patriots when we do so, but
we do . not consider it our duty to
"puff" candidates for office. But you
can have these '-puffs" if you pay for
them at regular advertising rates.
If the doctors keep on'with their
fads about microbes and such' things
there will be nothing in life worth doing or worth living for. You mustn't
get shaved at a barber's (though that
is not always such a pleasant expers-
ence;) you mustn't shake hands; you
mustn't handle bank .notes nor even
coin (a good many dpnt nowadays,)
but the worst thing of all is that now
they say kissing is dangerous. One
medical journal goes so far as to say
that kissing is insanity, as most diseases are communicated that way.
Mercy, how dreadful it all is,and what
is poor humanity coming to? • Instead
of asking a patient to put out the
tongue every dootor will be asking next
"Who have you been kissing?"
APPKECIATEB.
The following communication explains itself. The fire boys and others
who assisted on the occasion referred
to deserve every bit of the praise
given. We w|ll add that Agent Galliver very neatly expressed his sentiments to the boys in a box of choice-
cigars.   The communication reads:
Saginaw, Mich,, Sep. 11th, !U-
Hon. D. E. Alwabb,
Mayor, City of Clare.
My Dear Sir:-—On the part of the
officers of this company,, I wish to
make an acknowledgement to the fire
department of Clare for their well
timed and intelligent work during the
time that your city and the property
of the railroad company was threatened by forest fires.     Yours Truly,
