"Sam Jones was tbe greatest nine-
pin player that ever lived," said Col.
Henry Wattereon, the famous Ken-
tacky editor, iu speaking of the great
evangelist. "He sets bis audience np
and then bowls tbem over. His lectures are a succession of set 'em np
and knock 'em down."
This "nlne-pio" characteristic of
,8am Jones is emphatically illustrated
in the following extract on "dead
beats" taken from his lecture, "A
Medley of Philosophy FactsandFun"
which Denton C. Crowl, portrayalist,
will deliver on the third nigbt of the
Cbantanqua.
"If the devil doesn't get a dead
beat, It's because he's so low down
that the devil doesn't want him.
Wben I ask a man if he is a good
husband, if be lives right and if he
loves right, if he is a good father, if
be is sober, and if he pays bis debts,
and he says yes, I give him the right
hand of fellowship. But if he says
no. 1 give him the left hand of fool-
ship, and that's the best way to settle the whole question."
It is tbe object of Denton C.Crowl's
life to keep alive the rugged,forceful,
virile lectures of the famous evangelist, just as the compositions of a
music master are kept alive by those
who follow him, and those who hear
the Sam Jones lectures as Crowl delivers them declare that he portrays
the evangelist so faithfully in message, manner of speaking, voice and
gesture that it is hard to believe Jones
is not doing tbe talking. •>
On the flrst day comes the Hoosier
Male Quartet—a group of talented
musicians and gifted entertainers witb
novel xylophone selections and vocal
quartets, duets and solos, ranging
from classic or sacred favorites to the
latest popular melody. Charles Daugh-
erty, manager of the Hoosiers, is the
"cut ap" of the company, and bis
monologues, talking songs and mimicry of different rcnaictal instruments
is unusually entertaining.
Appearing with the Hoosiers of the
first day will be Dr. Lucian Edgar
Follansbee, wbo will lecture on the
expressive topic, "Genius and Gum-
tion." In speaking of the lectures of
this noted orator, Watson C. Squire,
lormer governor ot the state of Washington, said:
"Professor Follansbee secures the
attention of old and young from the
.first utterance and holds it until the
close of his lectore. His audience returns home with truths he utters indelibly stamped upon   the   memory "
But fully as interesting a speaker
as Dr. Follansbee, and witb a message teeming with vital significance,
is Hans P. Freece, who will lecture
on "The Inside of Mormonism," on
the second afternoon. Mr. Freece
wae born in Morraoniam, hia mother
being a plural wifs, but her hatred of
polygamy, led her to placeHans. then
but a naere boy, in a Christian school,
where be was brought up free from
all Mormon influences.

At tbe regular counoil meeting
Monday nigbt, a petition from severs! property owners asking tor tbe
improvement of Hemlock Street fer

taken to have a special assessment

The usual grist of bills waa allowed,
most of these tor work on tbe
County Line bridge, which is going
along nicely.
A complaint about the trepassing ot
chickens was herd, and the proper
committee Instructed to draft as
ordinance to abate this nnieance.
A Big Paper
The Osceola Co. Herald-Clarion
celebrated the beginning of its career
with its entirely new and elegant
equipment by issuing a 24 page paper
crowded full of interesting matter,
newe and advertising. Messrs Huc-
kle were bard hit by Are one year ago
when tbeir plant was burned, but
thev had tbe pluck to waste no time
in repining but set resolutely to work
to be in a position to better serve
their numerous constituency. That
they are succeeding, this opening
edition would seem to plainly indicate. The Sentinel extends congratulations and good wishes.

Bome time ago we referred to tbe
Monliana newspaper-advertising campaign promoted by tbe "Montana
Commercial aad Labor League" ln
the liquor interest. Tbe "Montana
Commercial and Labor League" is as
old friend under a new mask. Kansas
is tbs subject of its advertising story,
and tbe "evils" of prohibition tbe
burden of its song. A friend in
Kansas sends as some facts in reply.
On Jannary 1, 1016, Keueae paid off
the remainder of its bonded indebtedness and publicly burned its canceled
bonds. At that time Governor
Ospper said:
"Our per capita wealth of $1,630 Is
greater than that of any other State
and twice ae high as tbat of tbe United
States as a whole. It gives us a total
of $2,884,624,800 ot taxable wealth, an
increase of $79,000,000 the past year,
and enables us to maintain a State
tax rate of $1.26 on a thousand? lower
than that of any other State, with one
exception. Our bank deposits of
t224,110,570 are the largest per capita
otany State, an Increase of $23,000,000
in the year 1915. Our 74,000 automobiles give us one car to every sixth
family, a record equaled by only two
otber States. One family out of
i every five has a telephone, the largest
1 percentage of any State. Our farm
products in 1915 were $341,561,000.
Ourlivestockis valued at $310,655,000.
We produced $325,000,000 of manufactured products in 1915."
It is now in order for the "Montana
Commercial and Labor League" to
give the people cf Montana some
other horrible examples of moral and
commercial decay under prohibition.

CURECi»TY
To Receive The  Large Sum Of
$23,762.20.
In our search for new ideas photographic, we are going to the National
I'hotcgraphers Association in Cleveland, July 24 29, This is the biggest
thing in photography iu the country
and we expect on our return, Aug.
-itb, to be able to give our  customers
| better  things   in   photographs    thau
~ .rer before.
L. C. Hulbert, Photographer.
Tbe Jnly apportionment of Primary
money as announced ia to be at tbe
rate of $7.70 per pupil, fifteen cents
less than last years. The large sum
at that time was doe in a measure to
the payment of baok taxes by tbe
Pere Marquette railroad. Tbe total
amount to be apportioned in the
state will be $6,532,135.
Clare county will receive $23,162-
20, as against $24,178 last year. Still
tbis is a tidy little sum and will belp
to pay expenses. As was tbe case
last year, tbe connty receives from
state considerably more than is paid
back ic the form of state taxes,
though tbe difference is not so
marked. Last year our share of the
state tax was $15, 279.25, a sum less
by $8,482 95 tban we are now to receive back.
The following table shows the
number of pupils of school age in the
census of last year, this being the
number upon wbicb apportionment
so based, and the sum each township
and city receives:

We once knew a man who was too
stingy to take the newspaper in bis
bome town and always sent over to
borrow bis neighbor's paper.
One evening be sent bis son over to
borrow the paper and wbile tbe son
was on the way he ran into a large
stand cf bees and in a few minutes
bis face looked like a summer suuash.
Hearing the agonized cries of tbe
son, tbe father ran to his assistance,
and in doing so ran into a barbed
wire fence, cutting out a handful of
flesh from his anatomy and ruining a
$4 pair of trousers.
The old cow took advantage of the
hole in the fence, got iDto the corn
fleld and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy
man's wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four-gallon churn full of
cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. She slipped on
the cream and fell downstairs, break-
] ing her leg aod a $ly set of false teeih.
