FACTS
...When you are ill.you send for a physician
— One in whom you have implicit confidence. When you start to invest your savings you go to a banker whom you know to
be honest. When you are in need of groceries do the same thing. Go to a dealer whose
reputation for honesty is unblemished. To
do otherwise is to directly invite disappointment. Go to a grocer who has unquestionably the freshest, cre&rtest, -and^ best -qua'ity.-
foods. He has no cause whatever to be
other than perfectly faic. Ho dealer1 in this
vicinity is reckless enough to claim that he

The-first ballot for mayor determined beyond question that it was
the dosire "of everybody present
that Mayor Lacy should again head
the ticket. Less than half a dozen
votes were recorded against him.. A
tremendous cheer followed his selection, and in response to calls the
mayor expressed his thanks for the
honor and pledged tlie same constant effort in behalf, of the city's
material advancement as has characterized his present administration.

By common consent and without

Fishley was placed upon the ticket
foi. Justice of the Peace. Though a
resident of this pity for bat a ..short
time, Mr. Fishley has been known
to the people of Clare for nearly a
quarter of a century. Prior to
locating here his home was in Vernon township, where he.held many
important positions. prominent
-among which was the office of Justice, and his record therein fully(
warrants the- voters of the city in
elevating him to thai?' office at this
time. - .    '

selected, after which the convention

WABD TICKETS
In each instance the ward caucuses were well attended; and great
interest was manifest in ther selection of candidates that would not
pnjy jxd.d.strength tfufc appeal to. the
voters- - as candidates-worthy- of the
support of the people. The determination of the.people of the several
wards to make selections with especial reference to the fitness of such
candidates for the office was apparent in each instance.,- and the Democrats feel that they have'done their
full duty toward the city, even in
the', event ..of a.siifflcienfc. arousal of.
party sentiment on the part of "the
opposing bosses to bring about the
defeat of every Democratic nominee.
The ward-tickets are as follows:
«   First ward-
Supervisor—Qv,W. Lee.
Alderman—T. O. Holbrook,
.    Constable—Ed. Depotty.
Second ward—
Supervisor—Dayid Jennings.
Alderman—Geo. McKeever.
Constable—J. W. Price. ,    •
Third ward-
Supervisor—J. A. Jackson.
Alderman—John High.
Constable—W. Loundra.
The candidates for supervisor in
tlie several wards are not strangers
to'5ui; people. Mr. Lee ii about to
complete his^ sixthyear of continuous
sevice as a member of the city council, and his service there has been
such as to entitle him to an election
to an office wherein some remuneration is given for the work performed. He has over defended the interests of "his ward, and an •Expression
of gratitude for such service would
at-this time be eminently fitting.
In the second ward David Jennings
was renominated because- he was
found capable and honest in the performance of the work during the
term now closing. The slurs and'
vindictives of the opposition will
not lessen his popularity among
those who know him best and there
is no donbt as to his success in the
present contest." So well and faithfully has John Jackson served the
people of the people of the third
ward in that' capacity that his re-
nomination came unanimously.
Last spring his opponent was called
home from Alpena to make the race,
and this spring the same gentleman
was excused long enough from his
legislative job to come home and
accept the nomination again. It is
very desirable to have the supervisor located in the territory which ho
seeks to represent, hence Mr. Jackson's re-election seems assured.
Messrs. Holbrook, McKeever nnd
High possess . the characteristics
which especially fit them for positions upon the city council. Each
is a successful business man, heavily interested in Clare and her future. -Such ,""" are.-desirable, for
members of the council, and their
CAndidacy is_ submitted for, the candid consideration of the voier who"
puts Clare and her future before
any other consideration in municipal politics.

Raymond, the only son and youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
S. Rhoades, died last Sunday morning,- after an illness of less than
three days. On. Thursday noon he
came from school .and was, unable to
.occupy his .seat at the dlinner table.
This wt!s the first intimation- the
parents had pf his condition, though
he had complained of a' slight cold
for several days. His condition
being at once regarded as serious,
physicians were summoned who at
once, pronounced the ease to.be
pneumonia. Though every means
at hand were utilized and every care
Was exercised by parents and skilled
nurses, his condition constantly
grew worse until tbe end came. The^
sufferings of the young, man were
beyond the power of. words to ,de-
scribo, but through all those houi'S
of agony he bore the pain and torture with & patience that spoke Volumes for his appreciation of the
efforts being made to restore him to
health.

The funeral was held from the
Congregational, church on" Tuesday
afternoon, when Rev. A. L. Wood-

oomforfcing discourse". Business
throughout the city was generally
suspended, many of the stores closing during the hour of service., and

capacity. The city band paid its
last respect to its honored member
by attending the funeral in. a. body.

about two o'clock on Wednesday
morning, secured separate rooms
and retired. Upon arising, Welch
went to the room of his companion

authorities were at once notified and
a jury empanelled. All persons who
were known to'have, been with the
deceased during the previous day,
as well as *the Clare gentlemen,
were examined and no information
tending toward showing foul play
Was elicited. A postmortem by
physicians revealed a congested,
condition of the lungs, which together with the testimony of Messrs.
Doherty and Benner that the deceased had been iii poor health for
severalftays and 'complaining of,-&
severe cold, led the expei'ts to pronounce the causd of death to have
been acute pneumonia, and the verdict was found in accordance there*
