Last Friday afternoon as Oal Brown
was hauling logs across the F. & P. M.

at a high rate of speed, and Mr. Brown
seeing that he could not get his load off
the track, unhitched his horses and let
the train do what his team could not.
The fireman on the engine jumped when
he saw the danger, but the engineer being more brave, stuck to his post. The*
engine was disabled and had to be sidetracked here to await another one which
had been telegraphed for from Saginaw.
Mr. Brown's sleigh was badly demolished
and his logs strewn along the track. Ac -

It appears there is some trouble over
the postoffice at Dover. It seems that
the present p. m., A. B. Hains, has served
Uncle-Sam for the past two years faithfully; that he voted for Grover Cleveland
and that he does not see why he is net
entitled to the position another year at
least, j A petition has been ciiTdulated
lamong the persons that get their mail
at Dover and out of 180 over 80 want Mr.
Hains another year; 15 remain neutral
and the rest have either not been heard
from or are in. favor of Uncle Sam's appointee, W. L. Lyons. Mr. Lyons will
all in probability, take posession of the
office, which by the way nets the munificent sum of |65 per annum, next week,
regardless of the petition.

About thirty-five of the business
men of this village met at the Council room, last Friday evening to. organise a-Business Committee for the
purpose of inducing manufactures
Mid   individuals to  locate   in   and |
around the, village of Clare. ^ / ^__
" "The meeting was called to order b^j

Mr. Whe'aton then explained the.
object-of the meeting, and pointing
out whereby such a committee would
be a benefit to the town and tnerebv
being a benefit to every individual
engaged in business in the town. In
connection with this Mr. Wheaton
said he had prepared a paper in
which he had taken a true inventory
of the business houses of. the village,
and that he woukJ like to be allowed
to read it.* The following is a copy:

After a  few remarks by Messrs.
"Perry,    Sutherland,   Feighner   and
others, they proceeded to thV'election
of the committee, who are as follows:
C. W. Peri's, Will Goodman, Jr., B.
Trevidick, I. Feighner, E. D„ Wheat-
on,M. D.Eaton and G.. W. Smith.
The officers of the committee are:
President—E. D. Wheaton.
Vice President—G. W. Smith.
Treasurer— H. Trevidick.
Corresponding Sec'y—C. W. Perry.
.Recording Sec'y—M. D. Eaton.
A discussion then arose oyer the
feasibility oi raising money for the
committee   to work   with, such as
buying stationary, etc.   It was finally decided that' every person there,
so inclined, should give a dollar to
start the ball rolling.   By so doing
about $25 dollars was raised.
Tnis committee, when it gets in
proper running order, is supposed to
keep posted on all industries desiring
a good place to locate, and to keep on
record the price and location of all
the lands in and around Clare for
sale, so that a stranger coming into
town and desiring: a location, he can
at a moment's notice be informed of
all the saleable land within several
miles of here.
A plan was also talked of D37 which
the town could be advertised to outsiders, and which was no more or
less than to print on the back of all
the envelopes used by the business
men about towns a synopsis of the
village of Clare in a condensed form.
I'his will come up before the next
meeting of the committee, which
will be held at E. D. Wheaton?s office this evening.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

I met Mr. J. M, Ashley of th*e ■%•&.
A. A. railroad company* at the eapi*
toi the other day, and' he told 'me
that the work, of extending the' road.
from Mt. Pltasant to Clare would be
commenced as- soon as the weather
permitted and would be carried . for"
ward to completion without laijnecessary delay. 4' I was much surprise
ed," said Mr. Ashley, "to find Clara
t»o*busy and promising a town. The
business men seem to be' energetio
and public spirited' an 1 £ have ;*no
doubt that your village will- grow
steadily and become.an important
point." He thought the Interstate
commerce bill^ just passed Congress,
is a piece of demagoguery,,whose pro»
visions would never be enforced.
Senator Post believes in
punishment for murder and rape, but
he does not think that thest&e ought
to return, to barbarism and strangle
criminals to death. Society ought to
be rid of murderers and rapists.a*
quickly as possible and how to get
rid of them and not how to torture
them, is, in tho Senator's opinion,
the question to be decider). He hag-
introduced, a bill that electricity be
