The cycle of time 1ms "brought
ahout the conclusion of andther
year for the Clare Bchools. In the
presence of an audience "which filled
every • gen. In.JDoherfey fipsxa house
last evening the class made its final
appearance and had delivered to its
members parchments certifying to
their completion, of the prescribed
course. , .
The above named well known
young people of our city comprised
the fourteenth class to be similarly
discharged, from the high school,
and it is admitted that the demeanor
of each was fully up to the high
standard previously established by
those who now are honored mem'
hers of the alumni.
"Nothing could afford The Courier
greater pleasure than to give to each
participant especial mention, not
only for the success scored in the
closing programbut for the industry
displayed in completing the work of
the year. It is ' seldom that in
schools the size'of Glare's that so
large a class begins.the closing year
and completes the work in a manner
that permits each of the beginners
to enjoy the rewards which are for
those who so aspire. The year with
the class of '03 has been one of intense rivalry. Bach member has
striven to outdo his fellow, and, the
able teaching force- of- the high
school has encouraged this disposition, As a result those who were
rewarded with diplomas last night
had earned the same upon individual work, and the standing of each
is entirely satisfactory to the faculty and board of education, and
worthy the high praise of the admiring friends of each member. .
Time and space forbids such mention as we would wish to make, but
the reader will assume that Clare
has no apologies to offer for the
work performed. .So school in the
state has graduated a class more
worthy or more complimentary.
The program as previously announced was carried ont to the letter, and not a single failure is recorded. •--_-=--      ■  - ..

The June term of circuit court for
Clare county has been devoted entirely to criminal matters, for the
first time in many years. This
county has until recently been singularly free from crime, but of late
the officers .-hava been kept busy .it-
bringing to justice persons charged
with all manner of crimes. The
most serious case with which the
sheriff and prosecuting attorney
have had to investigate for many
years has been the "Worden murder
case, and the people were ready to
place the case on trial at this te'rm,
but. upon motion of tho defense,
whichL~.^grBSi.'uted^":'"th"it"''-^tin8Bgp&--
were wanted from Ohio, and which
could not be gotten for this term
the court permitted the trial to he
continued until'the September term*
In the case of the People vs.
Mills, charged with burglary a conviction was secured, but sentence
has not yet been imposed.
People vs. Guyles, incest, the
jury disagreed and the case went
over the term. *
Chas. Nelson, of Temple, charged
with selling liquor on Sunday, will
not be tried until thevSeptember
term.
In the case of the People vs. John
and Noah Benn and O. H. Keys,
charged with robbery, John was
convicted of simple assault, while
his ' companions ' were acquitted.
This is the case from Crooked LakeT
wherein M. F. Bobinson was the
complaining'witness.
Information received from Harrison this morning is to the effect
that court will adjourn tonight, and
that today the court, officers and
attorneys have all gone a'flshing.

The decorations were confined to
the class colors, simple' in design
and pleasing in ofiect. Potted plants
and palms were banked in the foreground, and the light effects were
extremely beautiful. Superintendent Biggs occupied a seat in the
midst of his class, anddt was plain
.that he felt fully rewarded'for the
trying hours of the year. The
musical program was highly satisfactory, as "was all other features of
the evening.
The hundreds of tokens for individual members of the class, stacked upon tables at the front of the.
stage testified in no mean measure
to tho popularity of those who havo
finished the work, and the ten young
people enter upon life's stern duties
With the best wishes of countless
frionds and admirers ■.

T. C. HOLBROOK, Clare.
Read The Courier.
The Woodmen go to Milwaukee
in 1905.
The farmers of Indiana are experiencing a wet spring, much to the
disadvantage of the hay crop. In
Indianapolis 'there was a heavy dew
during the entire week, except in
the early morning, when many complaints of a dpouth were heard.
The Hoosier farmer has the soil
and the climate, while the Michigan
farmer has the soil and climate with
ambition added,
Indianapolis is a handsome city,
and its people are entertainers,
every one. Even the Kansas delegation was agreed upon this.
Senator Brown and Ke~preseff.fi-"
Myes Galbraith and .and Fairbanks,
of the la.e legislature, were among
the delegates from Michigan. Even
so learned gentlemen as those
named confessed an inability- to
steer a Woodmen's convention.
The cities of Alexandria, and El-
wood, where Norm. Benner, Albert
Grant and J. B.- Husted, formerly
oi this county reside, are tho busiest
towns in all Hoosierdom, when size
is considered. They are so rapid
during tlie six days that 'they find it
-izspossibic to-placfccr,- th*. gait- fsr
the seventh. Glass "and tin workers
make big money and*in most cases
spend some.
Indianapolis is constructed roundabout a maghiiicen4; soldiers' monument, from which numerous stroets
lead in numerous directions. Upon
either side • of the monument is a
gigantic fountain, from which a six
inch stream of wator flows continuously. Two Michigan delegates
attempted to quench their thirst at
the fountain, and were taken in
charge by the police. The remainder of the delegatipn took the hint'
■and refused to use .water thereafter.
Representative C. J. Byrns, of
Michigan, who was elevated to directorship of tho order, knows a
thing or two about politics, and the
signal ability shown l^ him in the
contest of last week should make
him anadmii'able secretary of state
for Michigan. In fact his boomiet
was made known to a few of the
faithful and it was most cordially
received.
The electric line Servico in and
about Indiana's capital is not surpassed by that of any locality. The
stocl-holders are coining money and
the people are glad of it.
Mayor Bullard, of St. Johns and
Alderman Kerhen, pf Ithaca, whose
•respective cities are considering tbe
propriety of paving, after a thorough
inspection of the streets and alleys
of Indianapolis, are convinced that
brick pavement is the only* thing.

Clare on the Route of the Proposed" Trolley
Road from St. Louis to CadiUac.-
Cadillac, Mich., June 23—"From
Cadillac to Lansing by electric car"
is the alluring prospect held out to
Wexford county residents by two
men who are in the city conferring
with the local board of trade today.
The men are F. A. Graham and W.
D. Welch of Evart, the latter a
wealthy farmer of Osceola county
and the former a representative of
the Lansing, St. Johns & St. Louis
Railway company, which now has
an electric line in operation between
Lansing and St. Johns.    ''
Th^proposition is to extend this
line/ on from St. Louis, toward
which point roadbuilding is now being carried, to Mt. Pleasant, Clare,
igfvart, Marion, and other intervening towns to Cadillac and passing
through some of the best developed
country in north central Miohigan.
' Nothing h^s been done toward a
survey as yot, the trip by the Evart
men being for tho pui-nose of sounding the farmers and others along
tho proposed route as to their willingness to bear a portion of the expense bf building tho road. It is
said-that the men have met. with
much encouragement, especially
from the cities and towns along the
route, and that ^--preliminary, survey
will be started at once. Tho local
board of trade is heartily in favor
of-the proposed etxtention. '

Property Claimed by the  City Likewise
Claimed by the McEwan Land Co.
The original plat for a large portion of this city was originally made
by William JL. EcEwan. Upon his
death such portions of the plat as
had not been sold passed into the
possession of the McEwan Land
Co., of Bay City, which company is
made up of the heirs of W. H. McEwan.
Bordering upon the Pere Mar-
.cmette right of way are several triangular pieces, prominent among
which is that upon which the public
watering trough is now located, an'd
that pieco now occupied by the first
Ward, hose house," and ward's implement ware house, the latter having heen leased by the city to Ward
this spring. It is alleged that the
McEwan -Land Co. contends thaj
theso pieces'of land were never, city
property, and that the- municipal
authorities have no right of possession or lease, and th&t they as the
legal owners will demandpossession.
The site of the hose house in question has boen in the city's* possession for years, the building thereon
having originally beon constructed
for a, village council room, and tho
right of the oity -has never heretofore been questioned."
