Tk© saain building and library of
Central Michigan Normal school ot
Eft, pleasant was destroyed by firs
o2 unknown origin early Monday
iaofsiog with lost? estimated by C, C.
Barnes, registrar of tho school, at
?50O,OOO.
The building ' was burned to the
ground, little even of the walls remaining standing. Valuable books
and records that cannot be replaced
were burned, and continued operation
of the school made exceedingly dif-
fisalt.
School Library Consumed
The' structure housed the offices of
President B. C. Warriner, the deans
mt men and women, general administrative offices of the school, the
library containing 30,000 volumes, the
school assembly room, a cafeteria, the
extension department and a number
of classrooms. Some of the most
valuable records were contained in a
vault that was supposed to be fireproof and are thought to be safe.
Efforts will be made to continue
school, the faculty deciding at a hurried special meeting at 3:30 o'clock:
Monday morning. Students were Instructed in a bulletin issued after the
meeting to attend what classes they
could during the day, special arrangements were made later, to continue
school at least until the end of the
present term, December 16. Other
baHdings in the town are to be used
tar classes.
Fire Department Helpless.
It is reported that mo insurance waa
carried on the building by the state,
Lansing dispatches said. It was
thought certain, .according to the reports from the capital, that the administrative board will take steps to
replace it. An appropriation of ?175V
000 for a new library already had
been made by the legislature and it
had been planned to start construction In the spring.
The Are is believed to have started
in a small frame building at the rear
of the main building and no explanation of its cause has been found by
school officials. It spread into the
main building, constructed with brick
walls and Inflammable oiled wooden
floors, and when the fire was discovered nearly the whole building was in
flames. The Mt. Pleasant fire department responded to an alarm at 1:20
a. m., but the flames had gained such
neadway that practically nothing
could be done to stop the fire. Within arf'hour the building was ih ruins.
Four other buildings, the gymnasium, science building, training
school and dormitory, stand on the
campus near the burned structure,
but none of them was damaged.
The burned building was the center
of the school's activities and its loss
will criple the administration of the
college, as well as seriously handicap
the holding of classes, for 90 per cent
bf the 965 students in the college had
classes in this structure. Seven department heads and 15 other instructors had their classrooms in the building.
The central portion of the building
was built in 1892 by a group of Mt.
Pleasant citizens who operated it for
three years as a private school. In
1S95 the state took it over for a normal school and later built two additions. A west wing, containing the
general auditorium, seating 900 persons, and the cafeteria, was built in
1900, while the east wing, housing the
library, was built in 1902.

MILDRED DAVIS ANSWERS
DEATH'S CALL AT EARLY
MR. AND MRS
TIME has dealt gently with one
Clare county's best known and
most highly respected couples. Indeed,
the passing years count few who have
traveled life's pathway for so extended a period. That the constant felicity of this home dates from the exciting days of one year following the
close of the civil war, in which the
husband served with valor amid great
suffering and privation, inspires an
intensified interest in the story of
such an unusual career.
Spared until January 2nd, next,
Henry H. and Mary A. Bogue, of Harrison, will reach the sixtieth milestone
in the span of their married life.
For forty-one years"of the three score
they have occupied their modest
home at the county seat, which was
built, by the hand of its owner in
1884. It was by chance that their
home was established in Michigan. A

the lA'My compelled a change of climate. A summer spent In the Northwest afforded no relief and he determined to return to his home in Pennsylvania. Enroute he stopped at Harrison to make a brief visit with
friends. Within a few hours after his
arrival he was so far relieved of his
suffering that he made prompt decision to establish an abode among the
pines and permit the healing breezes
of that salubrious climate to effect
the cure of the malady which the
science of medicine had so far failed i
to conauer.

HENRY H. BOGUE
of ward for several terms. The serious
phases of life did not greatly concern
the populace of Michigan's pineries,
but Mr. Bogue, 'with the co-operation
of his devoted wife, was 'the pioneer
in the establishment of Harrison's
first church society, the Methodist
Episcopal, and for many years was
the recognized leader in the Protestant religion activities of the community.
He is today one of but three remaining members of a once flourishing G. A. R. post of that city, Messrs.
Hiram W Hughes and Charles W.
Scott being the other two.
Mr. Bogue was born in Erie county,
Pennsylvania, March 7th, 1840, the
son of Elijah and Rhoda Bogue. He
was the third in a family of seven
sons and one daughter. On August

The^game starts at 8:00 o'clock
Tuesday evening.
The Sportsmanship today of the
Athletics in our best schools and colleges is of high order. It is true in
some few institutions .the players
bark- at the officials whenever penalties are' imposed against their teams
and fail to observe the basket ball
code as regards their attitude toward
their opponents. These institutions
however, are in the minority and
will soon learn the meaning of Sportsmanship or self respecting institutions
will not schedule games with them
and officials will refuse to work in
their games. The responsibility of
the Coach and Director, however,
does not stop with the teaching of
sportsmanship to the Athletes. In
fact their biggest task is that of educating the students body and spectators in general to the point where the
majority will have an appreciation of
the finer qualities of sportsmanship
and will manifest the attitude toward
the visitingtplayers and officials, some
Athletic directors have felt that this
was not their job. The men, however
who understand the real purpose of
athletic and appreciate the fact that
by means of the games, character may
be moulded not only on the field but
in the stands will give attention of the
problems of educating the followers
of the teams.

Dear Friends and Neighbors:—
I will send a few lines to let you
know how slow We are traveling
southward.
We stayed oyer night ou the 18ta-
at Franklin,'in a house as their was
no camping ground. It was raining
and cleared off the next forenoon. We
thought because it got warmer that it
was a warmer climate. The people
laughed and told us they nad snow
and we wouldn't find warmer climate
until we reached Georgia, Thursday
we rented a cottage on the camp
ground at Cynthiana in Kentucky. We
found our bad roads from Cincinnati
to Falmouth about 20 miles. Narrow
and round like a saucer, not gradea
high on the outside of a curve, steep
ahd crooked. You dare not hug the
curve if it was on the left hand side
as the traffic was equal to M-14. I
nearly got mine" that way. Cihcinnatt"
is the most difficulty city to drive-
through I ever saw. It has all the-
faults in one. The traffic is equal to?
Woodward Av2., with no rules and narrow streets. We both had car trouble
so we only made 106 miles.
Friday was a failure with only 8<f
miles. Saturday we left Mt. "Vernom
at 7:30 and in spite of the fog In between the mountains and that terrible
Cumberland Gap we drove 134 (our
best day.) We were about ten
minutes crossing the Gap, going up
on second and I never changed the
shift, I think this is the safest part
of the mountain road as all dangerous places are fenced with cable, x
would judge we went up 300 feet. We
stopped at the bottom to view the
road and I do not think it was over
3-4 mile over all. We camped at
Maynardvllle, a county seat. In the
morning I walked up a mountain path
to see where it led to—( no, I was
not looking for a still.) I wanted to
see what kind of timber grew there.
They have about the same kind of
timber we do except hemlock. They
also have dog wood, logan wood, hickory and lots of oak, also black and
red blackberries,. I saw my first op-
possum. We loaded up about 11:00
o'clock after I mended my first
puncture and before we drove two
miles I had another. We changed
tires and drove until about two
o'clock. Passed through Knoxville at
noon and on to London where we
took a ferry across the Tennessee
river. We also took a ferry across
the Kentucky river. We camped in a
new cottage south of Athens, Tenn.
We had a fine place but it is cold outside about 50 degrees. It froze on-Sun-
day night eighty miles north of here.
We drove 82 miles today (Tuesday>
and stopped at four o'clocK eastern
time, but we expect to hit tne trail at
7:30 in the morning. We are about
thirty-five miles from the Georgia line.
Paved roads most all the way so far.
The bad roads are yet to come. L met
two men on the ferry on meir way
back, "broke."
Will close for this time and wue»
I get back home I may rent the auditorium and lecture.
Good night.
