or 40 citizens were present to witness
tbe proceedings. The machinery
seemed to ba thoroughly oiled and
the matter went through in short
order without a squeak. Aldermen
i Lewis and Smalley voted against the
; proposition and the rest for it.
in the I The Sentinel is endeavoring only
ticket |to interpret public sentiment in relation to tbe matter. We hear it characterized as "the rotteoest deal I
ever saw" and so on down to .ailder
terms. We think we can safely say
that a large majority of the voters
feel that undue haste was exercised
and that this matter should have
been left to the new council. No interest of the city conld have suffered
by this very brief delay. Had tbe
contract been made for one year,
probably there would have been leas
criticism.
If we are correctly informed, one
alderman received several votes, indeed owes his election to the fact
that he gave a positive pledge not to
vote for such acontract. Some seem
to conclude that the "recall" would
be a healthy instrument to invoke
just now, while others conclude that
a grand jury could find a number of
things to investigate in this part of
the country.

over a year ago, has been settled

Mr.    Evans is a Welchroan by birth
and educated in a Scottish universit> .
He   speaks    with'    a     slight     Welch
"tang,"'   but   his   lecture   was   witty]
and abounded   in   keen   tbrusts.     He j
did not hesitate to point out   some of |
tbe things muco   needed   criticism in !
this country and   that   was   all   right. I
It iswell sometimes to "see ourselves j
as ithers see us."
Mr. Evans declared that the con-
diet of the ages had been the oattle i
between aristocracy and democracy j
or between the blue bloods and tbe
red bloods, and be could draw on a
fund of observation in his own country to illustrate bis position. He
castigated England for the Boer war
which be declared was only for the
purpose of getting possession of the
gold and diamond fields. In this
country, our aristocracy is one of
wealth. We pile up money here and
use it in buying titles dode husbands
for   our   daughters.      He   expressed
Jacob Frederick Nass was born in
Germany May 20, 1847, and died in
Grant township Marcb 30, 1915, being
67 years, 10 months and 10 days old
at the time of his death. In 1871 he
married Madalene Charlotte Seifer-
held and to this union were born
eleven children, seven of whom survive. In 1892 they came to this
country and settled in Grant township, where he developed a fine farm.
In 1913 "lis wife died and he then
made bis borne with a daughter,
Mrs. Chas. Kurtz. Last fall be married a second time, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sellinger of Harrison becoming his
wife, and she survives him.
Mr. Nass was a very industrious
man and always a hard worker.

Prom varwell Correspondent.
Mrs. Elizabeth White, wife ot Eli-
sha White, was born a little over 67
years ago at or near Dublin, Ireland.
At tbe age of 11 years she came
wito ber parents to Canada where
her maidenhood was spent. She was
united in marriage Nov. 16, 1864, to
Mr. Isaac Holmes, to which union
four children were born, three of
whom survive: Geo. and Mrsdames
Cassie and Annie Davison of this vi j
cinity, Jennie having departed this
life eleven years ago.
After the deatb of Mr. Holmes, she
came to Michigan, where in Lapeer
in 1873 she was united to Mr. Elisba
White who survives her. To thison-
two sons and two daughters were
born all of whom survive: Frank of
Marion, Emraett of Jackson, Mrs.
Lottie Honeywell of Elmira and Mrs.
Julia Coors of Farwell.
Mr. and Mrs. White have been respected residents of Farwell for 40
years.
Tbe funeral was held from the
home on Friday afternoon, Chas. C.
Coors, son-in-law, officiating and tbe
three sons and three sons-in-law acted as pall bearers. Also service was
performed by tbe Eastern Stars of
which deceased was a member, all
of which bad been previously planned
by deceased.
She was a member of the Methodist church and local W. C. T. U.
and will be greatly missed. For tbe
past-three years she has been a great
sufferer from the disease which
caused ber death.
The remains were tenderly laid to
rest in the Farwell cemeters'. The
aged husband and children bave the
sympathy of all in their bereavement.
TWO NEW MEMBERS
Now Make up Fiim of Wm. H.

The firm of Wm. H. Bieknell is no
more.

its existence felt more forcibly ny

Each of the new members of the
firm has h id long training in his
particular iir.e "Bcrt"»has been
connected wi: h the business ever
since Wm. H. Bieknell opened a
store here twelve years ago, and was
with J. S Bieknell at Shepherd for
four years previous to that time. He
has that rare quality of salesmanship tbat makes it a pleasure instead
of a tass for the customer to "pick
out" a necktie or a suit of clothes.
His home was at Gladwin, so he feels
thoroughly acquainted with this
county and tbe people.
Mr. Hays is a native of Ohio. He
got bis first experience in a wholesale bouse in Columbus, O., was later
connected with the wholesale end of
tbe big Marshall Field V Co. store at
Chicago, and for the past six years,
up to the time of joining tbe Bieknell sales force, was with the Doughty
etore at Mt. Pleasant. So he, too,
has bad vaiaable experience in the
selling game. Needless to say, all
three have that attractive personality without which no salesman can
succeed, and they know people.
We may expect to see a steady
growth in the reputation wnich Clare
no»v enjoys in Wie country round
about as a trading center.
CHAUTAUQUA
This Summer Will be  Held
August  19-23.
favorable] date
And EverythinR Points  to Successful Course.
Thf date set for the Chautauqua
this year is August 19 23, as favorable a date it seems to us as could
possibly bave be^-n chosen. It will
be remembered that the date last
year was July 14-18. It could hardly
have been a more unfavorable time,
so far as attendance from tbe country is concerned. Farmers were in
tbe midst of harvest and it was well
nigh impossible for them to attend.
There were a number of tbinga
that tended to mitigate against the
success ot tbe Chautauqua last year.
Tbe date was unfavorable as we have
said. It was a comparatively new
thing to many and some conld not
divest tbemselves of tbe idea tbat it
was a fake along the "carnival" line.
Notwithstanding all tbe drawbacss,
it proved a reasonable success. The
people who took part in tbe several
entertainments were a clean, respectable bunch and there was little to
criticise in their work. So well
pleased were all tbat tbe requisite
number of tickets to ensure the Cnan-
tauqua this season were sold in leee
than an hour.
We are not able to make any announcement as to the program.
Very likely some of tho5e here last
year will return again. We can feel
perfectly sure tbat tbe course will be
fully equal to that of last year and
j very likely it win be better. As the
1 Chautauqua comes to be better understood and better appreciated, tbe
j attendance will increase from year
! to year and we can have a constantly
increasing higher order of talent.

that would indicate an incendiary
origin. One horse perished in tbe

Mr. and Mrs. Joan. H. Lansing, on
Seventh street, Mr. Peter A. Oman

with Miss Blanch Lansing on Wednesday at high noon.
The ceremonv was preformed by
the Rev. William J. Coates, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
being witnessed only by tbe parents
of tbe bride and Miss Carrie Oman of
Saginaw and Louis Oman ot Benton
Harbor, brother and sister of the
groom.
Tbey left on tbe afternoon train for
a short visit to Wheeler, Ithaca and
Saginaw. Upon their return they
will go at once to Harrison where
they will be at home to their friends
about May 15th.
Mr. Oman is a native of Sweden,
his parents having located near Lake

several years, being located here last

Fary-Bauer.
On Wednesday, April 7, at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. C. Fary of Vernon City,
