As predicted in our last issue tlie
revolt against tho present county
commissioner of schools continues
to widen, and until the opponents
bave determined to take a long; step
toward relieving themselves of ma-
ohiue domination. A conference
was held in Harrison  on Tuesday,

Negotiations covering a period of
several weeks have been concluded,
through which Dan' Grouse sells his
shoe stock to Will Lange, for several years'a clerk in the store in question.
Continued poor health compelled
Mr. Orouse to retire from business,
so that he might be able to bave
more time in the open air.

ASA H. ALDKICH
Former Democratic School Commissioner,  Who Now Expects Independent Republic»n Nomination,
and its result was tlie issuance of a
call foi an independent Republican
convention at tbe county seat on
(lie 28th at 10:3''a. in,, for tbe purpose of nominating a candidate" for
school commissioner. The Harrison Cleaver, which paper supported
the presen commissioner for a re-
nominatioti, has as its editor a former commissioner, and'surrendering io the pleas of those opposed to
Vr. Welch, Mr. Aldrich has decided to become the candidate o. tho
insurgents.
The Cotjkikr has no.desire to
mix in the fracas. It was evident
that the present commissioner had
many enemies in his own convention or he would have received more
voles for the nomination; it is also
evident that Mr. Aid.ich ha-i many
enemies in tbe regular convention
or he would have secured enough
votes b> have been placed in nomination. Under tl e circumstances it
is patent that neither aspirant was
regarded by a very large percentage
of his party as worthy of the nomination, aud in this This Couiueu
most cordially agrees. It isn't often
that we find ourselves in a position
to agree with both sides, but upon
the proposition under discussion we
fully coincide with the Welehites
that' Aldrich shouldn't be placed in
control of our country schools, 'and
likewise we agree with the A'drich-
ites that Welch hasn't been a stupendous success as a commissioner.
It is a Republican row, and we
don't propose to worry over the outcome. It is probable that the bosses
will tell Aldrich before the 28th to
quit his obstreperousness and he
good, and he will do it, in which
event the independents will be without a candidate. The Democrats at
present writing seem to be 'without
a candidate, hut in any event the
mnority party most deeply regrets
that our schools should 1)6 placed in
a position where two extreme partisans are quarreling over the spoils
incident to the position 'of colitr< 11-
>ng their destinies for the coming
four years.
It?s pretty near time when a man
should have some other qualifications than po'ltical loyalty in order
to be eligible to the commissioner-
ship',
tesy to Ihe trade. He will carry
substantially the same line long
kept in stock in the store which has
afforded him employment, and invites the patronage of the public.

Decision of J. T, lloreung as to Stocking
His ill Not Yet Determined.
Whether the stave mill in Clare
will operate another year is yet undetermined, and the- prospects for
timber toireiber with the condition
of the market will determine the
decision of the proprietor. Numerous offers have been made for
the machinery and in several instances the proprietor has been disposed to sell and close out his Olare
interests, bnt as yet nothing has
been dono and at present Mr.
Hornung is considering the idea of
once more stocking the factory and
running another year,.
This is one of the.'instances where
those in authoilty should get busy
and try to keep the industry busy
another year. If everybody will
boost the mill will run another year,
and in the rneantime a satisfactory
sale 'may be made, of the property
which'wlllin'surrt the city a labor

Governor Warper has re-appointed Joseph Hudson,- of this city, as
one of the trustees -of the- Saginaw
Institution for the Employment of
the Blind, but Mr. Hudson is not
overly Gsthusiastic o-vsr accepting,
although as he now feels he will
probably consent to remaih upon
the board. Since its establishment
Mr. Hudson bas given much of his
time to tfcie establishment and operation of this state enterprise and has
endeared himself to all .who were
anxious to see it conducted upon
business principles. He has given
of much of his time, entirely with*
out pay and has gained the admiration of Saginaw people for his "sterl?
ing integrity and manifestation of
an honest desire to see the institu.
tion develop into a credit to the
state. Many features have come to
light which made Mr. Hudson
averse to accepting a re-appointment, but the importunities of the
governor acd friends have been so
strong that it is probable that he
will accept the job for another six
years.
PETER BODABAUGH.
For Many Years a Resident of Sheridan,
Passed Away Wednesday Night.
__ In the death of Peter Bodabaugh,
Sheridan township loses one of its
oldest and most respected settlers.
Mr Rodabaugb sufrered a paralytic
stroke ou Tuesday, from which
time he rapidly grew weaker, until
at midnight Wednesday life became
extinct.
The wife of the deceased passed
away about seven years ago, and
out of fifteen ehi'dren, nine survive
to mourn his loss. Hewas seventy-
four yettrs and seven mouths old at
the time of death.
The funeral will occur from tbe
Eagle school house on Sunday.
Mart and His Hound Purp.
Mart Temple, of Redding, post
master of the office that commemorates his classic name, cares more
about a real good dog than anything except a sure Republican,
majority. Mart has always doted
upon sale Republican _ majorities
because they were nice things to
have in the family and besides provided an extension to the mortgage
upon the Temple postofflee. This
winter he has sat up o'nights learning a certain hound pup all the
tricks in the dog book and a few
more. This piirp developed into a
most enticing canine, and was sure
death to oveiy kind of vermin
from common house mice to the
ferocious black bear. In an unguarded moment this hound was
enticed into a rope by a roaming
woodsman and led away, without
the opportunity of giving a far-
well salute to Temple's postmaster:
With diie regard to Mart's Republicanism it is sale to say that he
would go farther to recover hound
dog than he would to keep iu tune
with the boys that' whistle the
political tune iu Clare county,
though he will go several furlongs
to encompass the capture of any
suspected"of trespassing upon the
sacred rights of the bosses to have
his towns_.jp recorded in the right
column.
Mart boarded the train aud twelve
hours later he was on track of that
hound. He went to Montcalm
county, where there seems to I e a
longing for bound pups, and there
Mart found the dog. The sheriff
was present, armed with warrants
but when with sad eye the hound
r-oked at-Mart he ^wilted, and the
culprit was permitted to settle
dpon payment.   He paid?
Mart.and the hound.returned to
Temple, each joyous in tbe ecstaoy
of a happy reunion^ and the demands of justice had been satisfied.
Tbe common-people Will please understand that it isn't safe to tteal a
hound purp from Mart Temple.
