Never was a woman more general-
ly known aud universally liked
than was Mrs. Mary J. McLaughlin,
wife of John iMcLaufihlhi, of Vernon
whose death occurred last Friday
morning, gBLer's was . a lovely
character, one which any com-
mum^ w^uld^ejoth^to. '.hara_rfc
tnoved from their midst. To her
acquaintances she was an ideal
woman, to strangers she was one
who at once, by her womanly manner commanded their respect. Her
illness was of great concern to all,
and her death- brought sadness to
the homes of many. For months she
was a sufferer of that fatal rhalady,
cancer, but in the worst moments,
when her sufferings were almoBt
unendurable, then was her true self-
made evident. Patient to the very
la*«t, never complaining of her lot,
she passed away, saiisfied, not with
the feeling that life had lost, its
sweetness for her, but with that
sweet resignation which characteriz
es Bryants ideal, who "Approaches
his grave like one who wraps t he
drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams."
Mary J. Duncan McLaughlin was
born in "Van Buren, Wayne Co.,
March Hth, 1863. During the year,
1882 she was united in marriage to
John McLaughlin, of Vernon.
The funeral, which was one of
the largest in this city for many
yeajrs, occurred from the Congregational church last Sunday and
the interment was made in Cherry
Grove.
Besides her husband deceased is
survived by one son, Emery, of Mt.
Pleasant dlsotwo sisterB, Mrs. H.J.
Masten, of Dundee and Mrs. Wm.
Wh th, of Vernon, and" three brothers, Wm. and John Duncan, of
Vernon and Jas. Duncan, of thiB
city, Burt, son of John McLaughlin, is also one of the mourning relatives.
This Cotjkieh extends its most
heartfelt, sympathy to the sorrowing
family in their hours of sadness.

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L Pratt,
Grant, Died at Her Home in* Harrison Last Friday.
It was indeed, a severe shock to
the community when it was known
that Mrs. Gertrude Green, wife of
deputy sheriff Fred Green, of Harrison, had" passed away. Although
for several days her condition was
known to be precarious, still death
seemed far away from one so young.
Mrs. Green was well known in
Clare, as the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. L Pratt, of Grant. Until
the time of going to Harrison, her
whole life had boen spent here, and
hosts of friends are left who keenly
feel her loss During her short time
in Harrison, she has won the respect of all for her true womanhood.
She will be sadly missed among society circles in that city.
Gertrude Victoria--- 3?ratt*Grsen
was born in West Grant on July
18th, 1883. In December of 1905 she
was united iii marriage with Fred
Green, of Harrison.
The funeral occured from the
Congregational church iu Harrison
on Monday forenoon, the services
being conducted by Rev. W. J.
Frost of this .city. The interment
was made in the Harrison cemetery
Besides her husband, deceased is
survived by a two weeks' old son,
her mother and father, two sisters,
Ethyl and Maud, and one brother,
Farnam, ail of whom were in attendance at the funeral'but the mother,
whom illness detained at home, and
the brother, who was too far away
to reach here in time.
Present at the funeral from out of
town were three aunts, Mesdames
J. LaUuke, C Bradford and M.
lyint, of Saginaw, also Mrs, Arthur
Pratt, of Lansing, Miss Ethel Dus-

The above is taken from the Clare
Sentinel,pf March 9th, 1906, and of
course, is reliable, because the Sentinel would not misquote anything
or anybody for the world!
The issue of March 8th, 1907, of
the same paper passes, and the annual report has not appeared. It is
not improbable that the city officials
have not as jet prepared the same,
and who, without their brain flooded with peanut pohiics is going to
kick? The officials of this city are
men elected upon their merits, and
the salary of none of them is sufficient to warrant a complete surrend
er of every personal matter to serve
the public. Everybody wants (o see
this statement, and under the di'reo**
tion of the perfect and accurate
Philip it will probably be the acme
of correctness, but Democrats are
not splitting hairs or charging ariy-
body/with corruption as was done
one y4ear ago. *•
The Clare Seniinel can devote its
time to explahJiug the bills of a
certain couuty official before the
board of supervisors, and telling
why this report was not out on time,
but the Democrats are not going to
kick because its a few days. late,
nor intending to criticise it unless
the same needs honest criticism.

Saturday's Horse Sale. .
One of the largest'horss sales that
ever took place in Clate county occurred on Saturday last at Thurston's barn, when Col. D. Ward, the
auctioneer, sold several head of fine
driving and work horses. The day
was perfect, and fully one thousand
were present from aliNparfs of Clare
and Isabella counties. Prices ranged from $95 to $160, and bidding was
brisk. Col. Ward was assisted by
auctioneers Maning, of Marion, and
Garnahan, of Mt. Pleasant, and everybody was good natured.
The horse sale is a fixture in Olare
from rfow on, because so many good
horses are bred in this vicinity, and
in the future it is confidently expected that buyers will look to the
sales held here.for much of a line of
stock desirable for the markets.
Mr. Thurston managed the sale
.with signal care, and in . all its appointments it was a success.
Redding Situation Curious.
Supervisor Frye, of Redding, is
not anxious to further serve his
township, but does not desire to
shirk a duty. He has been a litt'e
too independent for the machine,
.hence.he is under ...the han. Bobert
Nixon, one of the faithful is being
groomed for tha position, and it is
posit'ively asserted that Mart.
Temple is looking kindly upon the
plan. This is enough to satisfy
many as to the real purpose of opposition to Ffye, and therefore
Frye's friends arg working overtime trying to induce him to accept.
The nominations will be made next
week, and what the result will be
can only be deterr-ined by the position which the Republican voters of
Redding "occupy with the party
bosses,   , I

l Florence,
Feb. 18,1907.
Dear Mama and Papa:
We arrived
in Florence this afternoon and I received your most welcome letters,
and was more than delighted to hear
from you, as I had looked for a letter in Rome, lam very glad you
are both well and hope your good
health will continue.
It seems strange to read of zero
weather aud snow, as the weather
here is delightful.
I have somuch to tell you that I
scarcely know where to begin, but
will say'at the start that this letter
will be but an outline of our journey. We have seen so much that
it would take a week to write it all.
First of all the day at Gibralter was
delightful. It was a quaint and
pretty place, with pretty gardens
full of flowers and p-,Ums. We drove
through the streets, visited the Cathedral, and the fort, which is the,
"Rock of Gibralter." We also
drove to the Spanish city of La
Liuea. Leaving Gibralter at four
in the afternoon, we had a delightful ride of two days on the Mediterranean, and landed at Naples on
the 16th. Here we had another perfect day for sightseeing. JVisited
St. Elmo and the Chapel of St
Martin, which is beautiful beyond
description. Left Naples about ten,
arriving at Alexandria Saturday,
January 19th about 3:30 p. m. We
were transferred to a small steamer,
the Prince Abbas, and by 7:30»were
on our way to Port Said, where we
spent Sunday. Monday morning
found us in Jaffa, where we should
have landed and taken the train for
Jerusalem,-but fate was a_ainst us.
It was too rough to affect a landing,
which must be done by means of
small boats, and as our captain
saw a storm coming up he proceeded
to Beirnt, About two in the afte_>>-
noon the storm broke on us and we
experienced the worst storm along
that coast in nine years. Bishop
Shanley told his sisters that they
might sec a worse storm but they
would never tell about it. I did not
realize that it was  so  bad  so was
not as much afraid.
___ m
We were- quarantined all day in
Beirnt, among the di tiest and most
wretched looking lot of human beings I ever saw. Wednesday we
boarded a French steamer and landed at Haifa in the afternoon about
five. This place was about 70 miles
from Jaffa We spent the night at
a queer little German hotel and next
morning started in wagons on  oiir
Ion*** • drives-   The   ^Sl'st Gi^hfe-we
stopped at a place called Zammarin.
It is a Jewish colony, situated on  a
hill or small mountain,, twenty-fly*
miles from Haifa.   Friday morning
we were up at 3:30 and 6a our way
again shortly after five.    It-was a
pleasant day aud j; enjoyed the 45
mile drive very raach.   £t. Sts in
the evening we reached iaffa, juet
five, days ■ behind  time,'but everything haB its advantages, and we
saw places we would have tnisied, if
the sea had been.calm ou Monday.
Saturday morning was devoted to
sightseeing and we left at noon for
Jerusalem, arriving about 4:30.   We
went directly ia iheHoiy^SspslBJ-sr.^
Then to the hotel Casa Nqya- wMoh
is  conducted by the Frahciaoaiis.
A guide and a  Franciscan brother
met us outside of Jaffa and remained with us during our stay-in the
Holy Land.    Sunday morning the
lay members of the party received
holy communion at Calvary^-   At
9:30 we. started out and made^he-
Stations of the Cross in the streets
of Jerusalem and I think that on
our return at noon all felt that they '
had been repaid many times for the
slight privations experienced on our
trip,   In the afternoon we visited
Gethsemanes    Mount   of • Olives,
from which our Lord ascended into
heaven, tomb of the Blessed Virgin,
and Mosque of Omar,   Monday we '
drove to Jericho, twenty miles, and
saw the Dead Sea and the river Jordan.   Four of us had a ride on it,
(Fr.   Treiber,  Mr.  O'Connor,   Mr
C'Brien'   and'  myBelf.)      Tuesday
morning we returned to Jerusalem,
and the afternoon we spent in viBit-

Vaudeville Circus!
"A Society Circus," by Herbert
A. Kline, opened a four-days engagement last night at Washington
theatre. The name of the entertainment does not give the average
reader the proper conception of what
is really shown on the stage. Comedy amuses and tragedy thrills, but
the sensation of gazing upon a mammoth cage of lions brought from the
jungles which are trained to perforin
various wonderful feats, meanwhile
clawing, snarling, and snapping at
the intrepid trainer, was a spectacle seldom ''witnessed in a playhouse. The daring of Herman
Weedon with his six performing
lions truly seut a thrill through the
audience and yefso strong was. the
ste'el cage that everyone felt perfectly safe to remain within seeing
and hearing distance Of the ferocious.animals.—Bay City Time.s.
