ANGELO VITALE
Youngest Band
In World.
Director
AUTO THIEF
Has Quick Justice Meted Out
To Him.
etfiSAGQ QUINTET
Will Appear On 2nd Day Instead
Of Serenaders.
Tbe youngest band director in tbe
vorld will appear Here witb bia band,
and will give a concert as part of tbe
fourth day's program of tbe Community Chautauqua.
Tbis is Master Angelo Vitale, whose
ability as a leader is so great, that,
although still in his teens, he is recognized as one of the coming master
musicians of this country and bas
often bsen sty led the "Boy Creatore."
And Creatore, by the way, is Yitale's
chief idol, and the one man ic the
world he is most ambitions to rival.
Vitale once played before Jobn D.
Rockefeller, and at tbe cloee of tbe
concert, tbe oil magnate was so impressed with the lad's wonderful
masicanship tbat be said:
"Young man, I would give tbe world
to be a director like you."
Vitale also played before America's
"Four Hundred" at Newport, where
bis pleasing personality and wonderful artistic talent won the hearts of
the social*leaders, gathered there.
As a result Vitale was entertained by
ali the leaders of the gay life of Newport and was lionized everywhere.
It was under the direction of bis
father, when Vitale was but a mere
child thai he received his first music
lesson and began his musical training.
At the age of six the boy was an expert snare drummer. When be was
seven he was a member of a boys'
band, and at tbe age of nine was leading his own band. Such was his rise
to prominence as a musical director.
For the past six years he has 1jeen
tbe director of his present organiza
tion, a band of eighteen pieces, every
member of wbich is a recognized*
artist.
But Vitale, the director, is not only
a great band leader, he is an expert
cornetist as well, and those wbo attend the Chautauqua the fourth day
will hear several selections played on
tbe cornet by bim.
Vitale's band gives a varied and interesting program—ranging from the
popular "classics" to the latest bit of
ragtime. One novel feature of their
program will be the "Anvil Chorus,"
which is accompanied by striking
electrical effects.
Owing to illness of the members of
tbe Dunbar's Venetian Serenaders,
it has been necessary for us to secure
an attraction to take ' their place on
our program, for the remaining part
of the circuit. ' We have been
particularly fortunate in securing the
Chicago Orchestral Quintet, an excellent organization of tbree ladies
and two gentlemen, presenting instrumental and vocal music, ensemble
and solo. This company will appear
ontbe second day of the Chautauqua,
furnishing prelude to lecture by Hans.
P.Freece in the afternoon, and to the
character impersonations by Robert
O. Bowman in the evening. The
Theresa Sheehan Concert Company
whicb was to have appeared on the
second day will famish the entire
afternoon program and the preiude
to tbe lecture on the evening of the
third day-

committed to the county jail.
On Thursday afternoon, he was arraigned before Judge Kelly S. Sear!
in the circuit Jourt on the charge of
burglary. He plead guilty to tbe
charge, and was sentenced to two
and one-half to twenty years in the
Michigan Reformatory at Ionia with
a recommendation of five years as
the maximum sentence.

Expects Pipes To Reach Here
On Saturday.
The two big machines which are
digging the trench for the gas pipe
are steadily moving toward this city.
In some places old logs which were
placed in tbe road in the "causeway"
days are struck and cause trouble
and loss of time, but on the average
a half mile per day is made.
The machines cut a trench one foot
wide and about 2% feet deep. The
dirt is elevated and run to one side.
Pipes are laid and tested so that the
pipe laying is kept up to a mile or so
of the machines. If nothing unfor-
seen happens, the pipes will reach
this city on Saturday.
Two huge tanks have been placed
in position on the lot recently purchased on South McEwan street:
The store building now occupied by
Simon Bogardus and recently purchased by the Gas Company for an
office buiiding will soon be vacated
by Mr. Bogardus so that the company
will soon bave matters in this city in
good shape, A large number of patrons will be ready to take gas at the
outset.

Personal Liberty.
(By tiny Kayler.)
If yon care to fill your wardrobe
with tbe clothing of the opposite sex,
you can do so, hot if you dare to go
into tbe public streets clothed in tbese
garments you will be arrested.
Ton oan drive a motor car on tbe
public bigbway, bat if yon drive it on
tbe wrong side of tbe road or without
a light, yoa will get into trouble.
You may build yourself a boose,
but if tbe plans are not in accordance
with tbe laws you can be made to poll
ii down.
Personal liberty most accord wltb
social safety.
All are architects of fate,
Working in these walls o* time;
Some with massive deeds and great
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless i9 or low,
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show,
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled:
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with whieh^ve build.
Truly shape acd fashion these,
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think cot, because no man sees,
Sueb things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Bailders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part:
For the gods see everywhere
Let us do our work a- well,
Both the unseen and the seen:
Makethe house, wheregods may dwell
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in tbese walls <.f time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as tbey seek to climb,
Build to-day then strong and sure.
With a firm and sra) ie base:
Aud ascending and secure
Shall to-morrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye,
Seee tbe world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

In looking over the Clare Sentinel
of July 13 I noticed a statement
indebtedness of Co. over seventeen
thousand dollars. This statement is
aot correct. At the October session
1915 it was necessary to borrow to
carry Co. over till taxes were paid
last year seventeen thousand five
hundred dollars. The board at the
same session spread for Co. purposes
twenty five thousand or five thousand
more than had been spread other
years.
The Impression of some of the tax
payerB of the Co. of the statement in j
tbe Sentinel is that the Co. is and has j
been for eome time carrying tbis |
indebtedness and paying a large
amount of interest. This is not the
case. This money was borrowed at
different times as needed. When
taxes were paid tbese notes were
paid by Co. Treas. At the April
session of this year tbe Co. Treasurers
report showed ttfct all indebtedness
against the Co. had been paid with a
small balance to carry Co. over this
year. At the April session the board
by resolution authorised tbe Co.
j Treasurer to borrow not to exceed
thirteen thousand five hundred
money to be borrowed when needed.
By statement just received from Co.
Treas. yesterday it bas been necessary
to borrow thia year so far three
thousand dollars. Relative to interest
Clare Co. paid on borrowed money,
iast year 660.48 amount of interest
received by Co. on county depository
520.39.
About seven years ago the board
sold tbe old Co. Farm and bought the
eighty acres where tne new Co. Infirmary stands to-day. This building
cost (12,000. A new barn with basement has been erected, also horses
and cattle have been bought as well as
other implements that were necessary
for the farm. The Co. jail nas been
repaired and the Court House has
been resbingled and stucco finished.
Forty acres on Co. Farm has been
stumped. All of these improvements
were necessary and for the best interests of the Co. Tbe Board of
Supervisors did not consider lt wise
to spread too large an amount in any
one year. Tbey thought that tbe
average tax payer could pay a small
amount of interest eaeier than they
could pay an extra amount of Co. tax.
Clare Co. is not the only Co. that
has to borrow.. Oar neighboring
counties have to borrow Occasionally.
Now relative to Clare Co. Agl.
Society,
Clare Co. by Mr. Wilson for fair pur-
posee. The buildings tbat are there
on the ground were put there by
donations. These buildings should
be repaired.
A county fair is what the citizens
i of the Co. make it. Clare Co can
bave just as good a Co. fair as any of
I her adjoining counties and if the tax
| pavers of the couuty ail Doost for a
Clare Co fair it can be made self-
| supporting. Richard Emerson.
Soon after boon yesterday tbe :floe
large barn of Clarence Thayer In
Vernon burned to tbe ground with ail
its contents. The origin of tbe Are is
a mystery as no one was around tbe
farm at the time. It was filled witb
hay but what otber contents tbere
may bave been we are not informed.
No otber buildings were burned
though the roof of the house several
times caught fire but the flames were
extinguished.
Mr. Thayer lives in Mt. Pleasant
and his son Chester works the farm.
The son had as we are informed an
insurance of S300 ou the contents.
Doubtless the barn was insured but
but we do not know in what amount.
Keebler-Hardy
A very pretty house wedding took
place at high noon Wednesday, July
19, 1916, at the bome of Mr. and Mrs.
Matthew Keebler when their daughter,
Mena was married to Ray Hardy, of
Saginaw.
The bride was gowned in white
crepe de chene and carried a bouquet
of bridal roses. She was attended by
her sister, Miss Louise, wbo was
dressed in cream crepe de chene and
carried a bouquet of pink roaes.
The groom, wbo is a popular youDg
business man of Saginaw, wss attended by Walter Godfrey, of Ithaca.
The wedding service was performed
in the presence of immediate relatives beneath an arch of roses, pink
and white, by the Kev. Thos. E.
Bennett, of Clare, who used tbe impressive ring ceremony.
After the service an elaborate wedding dinner was served, a picture of
tboae present .was taken and the
friends departed to tbeir homes feeling in their hearte
'O fortunate, O happy day,
Wben a new household finds its place
Among the myriad hemes of earth,
Like a new star just sprung to birth,
And rolled on it harmonious way
In the boundless realms of space!"
The young couple will be at home
to friends In a few days in their
comfortable, little home at 1825 Tuscola street, Saginaw.
The Sentinel extends cordial congratulations and good wishes.

The advsrtising committee has now
made definite arrangements for a big
booster trip in tbe interests of the
Chautauqua Aug. 15-19, on much the
same plan adopted iast year, to take
place next Wednesday afternoon.
Tbe route will be nearly the same
as that covered by the flrst trip ot
last season, tbe following places to be
visited in the order given: Herrick,
Loomis, Colonville, Brand Farm,
Cornweli Farm, Harrison, Kleman
Ranch, Dover. The start will be
made at 1:30 o'clock, and a stop will
be made at the coanty seat for supper.
Some church Boeiety will no doubt
be on hand again with refreshmenta
at a moderate price.
Of coarse the band will go along to
furnish music at tbe various stops—
wbereever there is enough crowd to
warrant a halt—and banner and
other decorations will be carried by
all the cars. As the stores now close
on Wednesday afternoons,practically
every business place wil! be represented in in tbe line, and the recDrd
of last year as to the number of care
ought to be smashed to smithereens.
Everybody who has a car is invited, and owners are requested to
1 Dotify L. E. Davy, cbairman, or some
j other member of tbe committee of
1 tbeir intention to make the trip, so
that provision can be made for all
who want to go,
A second booster trip is tentatively
planned for the same day of tbe
following week to Farweil and other
points.

A beautiful young life passed away
Thursday morning, July 20th, in tbe
person of Margaret Marion Moors at
the home of her mother, Mrs. James
Muma of Rosebush.
Margaret was born in Peninsular
Harbor, Canada, October 20, 18S6 and
came to Rosebush from Montana at
about nine years of age where she
spent the remainder of her life. She
became a member of the Presbyterian church at an early age.
Margaret embodies tbe highest
type of sterling young womanhood
and her ideals were pure, lofty and
noble.
Measured by ihe standard of true
christian womanhood, herlife though
short was a success. The floral offerings were beautiful showing the
esteem in wbich she was held.
The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church of
Rosebneh by Rev. Green of Mt.
Pleasant, with interment in Cherry
Grove, Clare.
In sweet, young, winsome girlhood
You have seen her laid away,
With flowers, tears and tenderness
In the sunshine of the day.
You question as you sorrow
Wby tbe d4-ar young life should leave,
And wonder of the futur.2
And o'er broken pro-jDects grieve.
I All life comes here for a purpose,
By a Providence benign.

Where gleam the "many mansions"
In the land of God's great love,
Wbere young and old find welcome
In the peopled realms above.
Where sweet young souls expanding
In more tban earthly love
Forever in the lovelight
Of tutoring angels soar.
Then walk in faith believing,
Sowing thick with kindly deeds,
Help bear each others burdens
Help relieve each others needs,
Though tbe grave awaits the mortal,
You may live in finest trust,
Dear relatives and friends
The soul is not "dust to dust."
X
PATRIOTISM
Of A
Most Extraordinary
Type.
WISCONSIN CITY
Renounces Its Share Of
To Aid Country.
Pork
In the. C. ngressional Record for
June 17 there appears a story so
extraordinary that it would immediately attract wide attention. Some
time ago Congress appropriated $75,-
000 for a public building at Ripon,
Wis., a city of some 4000 people, the
seat of a flourishing college and a
live, intelligent community as one
may easily believe. In order to secure
a gift ef SsO.OOO offered conditionally
to tbe college, the citizens raised the
large sum of $60,000.
Afid now comes the remarkable
part of the story: The Common Council of the city also the Commercial
Club of the city tc tba number of 500
have passed resolutions renouncing
this appropriation and requesting
Congress to apply tbe $75000 to
national defense. Already this
money had been appropriated and
and special legislation will be necessary to carry out the wishes of
these patriotic citizens. This presents a case weli worth pondering
and the advocates of "pork" legislation should certainly sit up and take
notice. People are usually quite ready
to see that otber people should be
patriotic, The people of Ripon
wonld be expected to see that
Podunk, Ark-, and Hardscrabble,
Missouri, should be patriotic and
not demand anything during the
severe stress through which the
country is now passing, but of course
this should not apply fo Ripon.
All honorto this Wisconsin city. It
bas set an example of patriotism tbat
should bring tbe blush cf shame to
of tbe League and he was accompanied by Prof. Carroll who led tho
singing and sang a number of solos.
He has a strong baritone voice and
could be readily heard by a crowd
covering an acra or usore.
In his morning's address Mr. Hudson spoke of tbe wonderful revolution
going on in public sentiment relative
to tbe liquor traffic, a revolution that
is worldwide." The European nations
now engaged in the titafcio war have
been compelled ns a matter of life to
put a curb on this nefarious business.
With Russia and perhaps witb others
tbe change for good is so marked
that it seems likely to become the
settled policy of those countries. In
Russia this could be accomplished
quickly because it needed only the
word of one man. Here of necessity
it is a slow process. Tbe advance in
sentiment is shown in a marked way
in the attitude of the newspapers
and magazines toward this subject.
Very few can longer be found that
are willing to disgrace themselves by
becoming an ally of this traffic.
Mr. Hudson paid his respects to tbe
"Home Rule League" by characterizing it as every sensible man Knows it
to be, simply a saloon^ organization
saling under false colors in order to
deceive the unwary. In every campaign such an organization appears
as a "Business Men's League," or
some similar title. Last year in
Ohio it was the "Ohio Temperance
Cnion" and many were duped into
-supposing it was the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. When
the expense Account of this "Ohio
Temperance Union was filed as the
law demands," it showed that every
dollar of the campaign fund was contributed by the brewers. No one
need be told tbat is tbe source from
which our "Home Rule League'' is
getting the fund with wbich it is doing business.
In the evening Mr. Hudson quoted
the famous characterization of the
saloon made by Gov. Osborn in a
message to thei^ legislature. He also
quoted Gov. Ferris as saying recently
to some newspaper reporters that he
is satisfied from his own investigations
that seven nut of ev^ry ten men in

Director AUTO THIEF Has Quick Justice Meted Out To Him. etfiSAGQ QUINTET Will Appear On 2nd Day Instead Of Serenaders. Tbe youngest band director in tbe vorld will appear Here witb bia band, and will give a concert as part of tbe fourth day's program of tbe Community Chautauqua. Tbis is Master Angelo Vitale, whose ability as a leader is so great, that, although still in his teens, he is recognized as one of the coming master musicians of this country and bas often bsen sty led the "Boy Creatore." And Creatore, by the way, is Yitale's chief idol, and the one man ic the world he is most ambitions to rival. Vitale once played before Jobn D. Rockefeller, and at tbe cloee of tbe concert, tbe oil magnate was so impressed with the lad's wonderful masicanship tbat be said: "Young man, I would give tbe world to be a director like you." Vitale also played before America's "Four Hundred" at Newport, where bis pleasing personality and wonderful artistic talent won the hearts of the social*leaders, gathered there. As a result Vitale was entertained by ali the leaders of the gay life of Newport and was lionized everywhere. It was under the direction of bis father, when Vitale was but a mere child thai he received his first music lesson and began his musical training. At the age of six the boy was an expert snare drummer. When be was seven he was a member of a boys' band, and at tbe age of nine was leading his own band. Such was his rise to prominence as a musical director. For the past six years he has 1jeen tbe director of his present organiza tion, a band of eighteen pieces, every member of wbich is a recognized* artist. But Vitale, the director, is not only a great band leader, he is an expert cornetist as well, and those wbo attend the Chautauqua the fourth day will hear several selections played on tbe cornet by bim. Vitale's band gives a varied and interesting program—ranging from the popular "classics" to the latest bit of ragtime. One novel feature of their program will be the "Anvil Chorus" which is accompanied by striking electrical effects. Owing to illness of the members of tbe Dunbar's Venetian Serenaders, it has been necessary for us to secure an attraction to take ' their place on our program, for the remaining part of the circuit. ' We have been particularly fortunate in securing the Chicago Orchestral Quintet, an excellent organization of tbree ladies and two gentlemen, presenting instrumental and vocal music, ensemble and solo. This company will appear ontbe second day of the Chautauqua, furnishing prelude to lecture by Hans. P.Freece in the afternoon, and to the character impersonations by Robert O. Bowman in the evening. The Theresa Sheehan Concert Company whicb was to have appeared on the second day will famish the entire afternoon program and the preiude to tbe lecture on the evening of the third day- Continued on page 7. D. O. BraoM, who disappeared witb the Studebaker oar belonging to A. E. Obase, front tbs Cbase bome ln Essex, on the night of July 4tb, and was found by relatives of tbe Cbase family on tbe streets of Petoskey, tbe aulo having been found in Clare, aa told in this paper last week, was brought before J. Charles Flynn, justice of the peace on Wednesday evening, Jnly la, waived examination, and was bound over to tbe circuit court. He failed to furnish tli6 bail, whicb was fixed at $1,000, and was committed to the county jail. On Thursday afternoon, he was arraigned before Judge Kelly S. Sear! in the circuit Jourt on the charge of burglary. He plead guilty to tbe charge, and was sentenced to two and one-half to twenty years in the Michigan Reformatory at Ionia with a recommendation of five years as the maximum sentence. BIG MACHINES Steadily Plowing Their Way To This City. - GUS'COMPAHY COUmjWANCES Explained By Chairman Of Co. Board. IMPROVEMENTS Account Por Most Indebtedness He Thinks.

No grander film spectacle ever gracedascreen, than the presentation that is to be brought to Clare next Thursday Aug. 3, when -iTbe Melting Pot" will be shown. Tbis is one-pictnre that ia a rival to "Tbe battle cry of peace." W. Stephen Buatt, one of tbe best New Yore critics says: "It breathes a spirit of tbe best Americanism in the traditions of cur history." This is distinctively a 25 ct. show but by special arrangements it will'be shown here at 10 and I5ets. Reserve seats at theatre. adv. Expects Pipes To Reach Here On Saturday. The two big machines which are digging the trench for the gas pipe are steadily moving toward this city. In some places old logs which were placed in tbe road in the "causeway" days are struck and cause trouble and loss of time, but on the average a half mile per day is made. The machines cut a trench one foot wide and about 2% feet deep. The dirt is elevated and run to one side. Pipes are laid and tested so that the pipe laying is kept up to a mile or so of the machines. If nothing unfor- seen happens, the pipes will reach this city on Saturday. Two huge tanks have been placed in position on the lot recently purchased on South McEwan street: The store building now occupied by Simon Bogardus and recently purchased by the Gas Company for an office buiiding will soon be vacated by Mr. Bogardus so that the company will soon bave matters in this city in good shape, A large number of patrons will be ready to take gas at the outset. The Builders. Personal Liberty. (By tiny Kayler.) If yon care to fill your wardrobe with tbe clothing of the opposite sex, you can do so, hot if you dare to go into tbe public streets clothed in tbese garments you will be arrested. Ton oan drive a motor car on tbe public bigbway, bat if yon drive it on tbe wrong side of tbe road or without a light, yoa will get into trouble. You may build yourself a boose, but if tbe plans are not in accordance with tbe laws you can be made to poll ii down. Personal liberty most accord wltb social safety. All are architects of fate, Working in these walls o* time; Some with massive deeds and great Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless i9 or low, Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show, Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled: Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with whieh^ve build. Truly shape acd fashion these, Leave no yawning gaps between; Think cot, because no man sees, Sueb things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Bailders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part: For the gods see everywhere Let us do our work a- well, Both the unseen and the seen: Makethe house, wheregods may dwell Beautiful, entire and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in tbese walls <.f time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as tbey seek to climb, Build to-day then strong and sure. With a firm and sra) ie base: Aud ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye, Seee tbe world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky. -J.ongfeilow. In looking over the Clare Sentinel of July 13 I noticed a statement indebtedness of Co. over seventeen thousand dollars. This statement is aot correct. At the October session 1915 it was necessary to borrow to carry Co. over till taxes were paid last year seventeen thousand five hundred dollars. The board at the same session spread for Co. purposes twenty five thousand or five thousand more than had been spread other years. The Impression of some of the tax payerB of the Co. of the statement in j tbe Sentinel is that the Co. is and has j been for eome time carrying tbis indebtedness and paying a large amount of interest. This is not the case. This money was borrowed at different times as needed. When taxes were paid tbese notes were paid by Co. Treas. At the April session of this year tbe Co. Treasurers report showed ttfct all indebtedness against the Co. had been paid with a small balance to carry Co. over this year. At the April session the board by resolution authorised tbe Co. j Treasurer to borrow not to exceed thirteen thousand five hundred money to be borrowed when needed. By statement just received from Co. Treas. yesterday it bas been necessary to borrow thia year so far three thousand dollars. Relative to interest Clare Co. paid on borrowed money, iast year 660.48 amount of interest received by Co. on county depository 520.39. About seven years ago the board sold tbe old Co. Farm and bought the eighty acres where tne new Co. Infirmary stands to-day. This building cost (12,000. A new barn with basement has been erected, also horses and cattle have been bought as well as other implements that were necessary for the farm. The Co. jail nas been repaired and the Court House has been resbingled and stucco finished. Forty acres on Co. Farm has been stumped. All of these improvements were necessary and for the best interests of the Co. Tbe Board of Supervisors did not consider lt wise to spread too large an amount in any one year. Tbey thought that tbe average tax payer could pay a small amount of interest eaeier than they could pay an extra amount of Co. tax. Clare Co. is not the only Co. that has to borrow.. Oar neighboring counties have to borrow Occasionally. Now relative to Clare Co. Agl. Society, Clare Co. by Mr. Wilson for fair pur- posee. The buildings tbat are there on the ground were put there by donations. These buildings should be repaired. A county fair is what the citizens i of the Co. make it. Clare Co can bave just as good a Co. fair as any of I her adjoining counties and if the tax pavers of the couuty ail Doost for a Clare Co fair it can be made self- supporting. Richard Emerson. Soon after boon yesterday tbe :floe large barn of Clarence Thayer In Vernon burned to tbe ground with ail its contents. The origin of tbe Are is a mystery as no one was around tbe farm at the time. It was filled witb hay but what otber contents tbere may bave been we are not informed. No otber buildings were burned though the roof of the house several times caught fire but the flames were extinguished. Mr. Thayer lives in Mt. Pleasant and his son Chester works the farm. The son had as we are informed an insurance of S300 ou the contents. Doubtless the barn was insured but but we do not know in what amount. Keebler-Hardy A very pretty house wedding took place at high noon Wednesday, July 19, 1916, at the bome of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Keebler when their daughter, Mena was married to Ray Hardy, of Saginaw. The bride was gowned in white crepe de chene and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. She was attended by her sister, Miss Louise, wbo was dressed in cream crepe de chene and carried a bouquet of pink roaes. The groom, wbo is a popular youDg business man of Saginaw, wss attended by Walter Godfrey, of Ithaca. The wedding service was performed in the presence of immediate relatives beneath an arch of roses, pink and white, by the Kev. Thos. E. Bennett, of Clare, who used tbe impressive ring ceremony. After the service an elaborate wedding dinner was served, a picture of tboae present .was taken and the friends departed to tbeir homes feeling in their hearte 'O fortunate, O happy day, Wben a new household finds its place Among the myriad hemes of earth, Like a new star just sprung to birth, And rolled on it harmonious way In the boundless realms of space!" The young couple will be at home to friends In a few days in their comfortable, little home at 1825 Tuscola street, Saginaw. The Sentinel extends cordial congratulations and good wishes. SOOSTER.TRIP Planned For Wednesday Of Next Week. HUNDRED AUTOS Will Cover Route. One Week Second Jaunt Later. ADJOURNED A6AIN And Case Sent To Justice. Another The advsrtising committee has now made definite arrangements for a big booster trip in tbe interests of the Chautauqua Aug. 15-19, on much the same plan adopted iast year, to take place next Wednesday afternoon. Tbe route will be nearly the same as that covered by the flrst trip ot last season, tbe following places to be visited in the order given: Herrick, Loomis, Colonville, Brand Farm, Cornweli Farm, Harrison, Kleman Ranch, Dover. The start will be made at 1:30 o'clock, and a stop will be made at the coanty seat for supper. Some church Boeiety will no doubt be on hand again with refreshmenta at a moderate price. Of coarse the band will go along to furnish music at tbe various stops— wbereever there is enough crowd to warrant a halt—and banner and other decorations will be carried by all the cars. As the stores now close on Wednesday afternoons,practically every business place wil! be represented in in tbe line, and the recDrd of last year as to the number of care ought to be smashed to smithereens. Everybody who has a car is invited, and owners are requested to 1 Dotify L. E. Davy, cbairman, or some j other member of tbe committee of 1 tbeir intention to make the trip, so that provision can be made for all who want to go, A second booster trip is tentatively planned for the same day of tbe following week to Farweil and other points. Ths examination of Wesley M. Cross of Redding township for alleged bribery was called again in Justice Thurston's Court on Monday having been previously adjourned to tbat date. Prosecutor Bowler appeared for the people and Oeo. J. Cummins and P. H. Dusenberry of Mt. Pleaaant for the defendent. A motion was made by defendant's attorneys to dismiss the case in the present court and transfer it to another justice on tbe ground fSat Mr. Thurston bad signed a petition asking for a grand jury to investigate this matter. After some discussion of tbe matter the case was accordingly adjourned and in ANTI-SALOON League Meetings In This City On Sunday, EVENING MEETING Held In The Park With Attendance. Large Two meetings under tbe auspices of tha State Anti-Saloon League were held In this city on Snnday, tbe one in the morning at tbe Methodist church, tbe evening one in the Park.

Ths "connty fund" from whicb this appropriation for the county fair is supposed to be paid Sept. l was overdrawn S7000 on June 1st, and the coanty is doing business now on sums drawn from other funds.

She became a member of the Presbyterian church at an early age. Margaret embodies tbe highest type of sterling young womanhood and her ideals were pure, lofty and noble. Measured by ihe standard of true christian womanhood, herlife though short was a success. The floral offerings were beautiful showing the esteem in wbich she was held. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church of Rosebneh by Rev. Green of Mt. Pleasant, with interment in Cherry Grove, Clare.

X PATRIOTISM Of A Most Extraordinary Type. WISCONSIN CITY Renounces Its Share Of To Aid Country. Pork In the. C. ngressional Record for June 17 there appears a story so extraordinary that it would immediately attract wide attention. Some time ago Congress appropriated $75,- 000 for a public building at Ripon, Wis., a city of some 4000 people, the seat of a flourishing college and a live, intelligent community as one may easily believe. In order to secure a gift ef SsO.OOO offered conditionally to tbe college, the citizens raised the large sum of $60,000. Afid now comes the remarkable part of the story: The Common Council of the city also the Commercial Club of the city tc tba number of 500 have passed resolutions renouncing this appropriation and requesting Congress to apply tbe $75000 to national defense. Already this money had been appropriated and and special legislation will be necessary to carry out the wishes of these patriotic citizens. This presents a case weli worth pondering and the advocates of "pork" legislation should certainly sit up and take notice. People are usually quite ready to see that otber people should be patriotic, The people of Ripon wonld be expected to see that Podunk, Ark-, and Hardscrabble, Missouri, should be patriotic and not demand anything during the severe stress through which the country is now passing, but of course this should not apply fo Ripon. All honorto this Wisconsin city. It bas set an example of patriotism tbat should bring tbe blush cf shame to of tbe League and he was accompanied by Prof. Carroll who led tho singing and sang a number of solos. He has a strong baritone voice and could be readily heard by a crowd covering an acra or usore. In his morning's address Mr. Hudson spoke of tbe wonderful revolution going on in public sentiment relative to tbe liquor traffic, a revolution that is worldwide." The European nations now engaged in the titafcio war have been compelled ns a matter of life to put a curb on this nefarious business. With Russia and perhaps witb others tbe change for good is so marked that it seems likely to become the settled policy of those countries. In Russia this could be accomplished quickly because it needed only the word of one man. Here of necessity it is a slow process. Tbe advance in sentiment is shown in a marked way in the attitude of the newspapers and magazines toward this subject. Very few can longer be found that are willing to disgrace themselves by becoming an ally of this traffic. Mr. Hudson paid his respects to tbe "Home Rule League" by characterizing it as every sensible man Knows it to be, simply a saloon^ organization saling under false colors in order to deceive the unwary. In every campaign such an organization appears as a "Business Men's League" or some similar title. Last year in Ohio it was the "Ohio Temperance Cnion" and many were duped into -supposing it was the Women's Christian Temperance Union. When the expense Account of this "Ohio Temperance Union was filed as the law demands" it showed that every dollar of the campaign fund was contributed by the brewers. No one need be told tbat is tbe source from which our "Home Rule League'' is getting the fund with wbich it is doing business. In the evening Mr. Hudson quoted the famous characterization of the saloon made by Gov. Osborn in a message to thei^ legislature. He also quoted Gov. Ferris as saying recently to some newspaper reporters that he is satisfied from his own investigations that seven nut of ev^ry ten men in Announcement.
