THE SHANNON LECTURES
People Of Three Towns To Hear
Rsre Treat.
As wiil be seen  from   the  program
elsewhere in   tbis  issue,   the   people
of this city, Farwell and Harrison are |
to have a course of lectures on much
needed topics the tirst daya   of   next,
week.    A. Bruce Gibbs,   Secretary of ;
the  County   S.   S.   Association,   who
has   arranged    for the    course,   has j
heard Mr. Shannon and says that bis |
lectnres are most excellent,   and  Mr.
Gibbs is well qualified to judge.
Mr. Shannon is editor of tbe Eugenic Department of tbe L'plift Magazine and the author of several books
along the line of his lectures. Wherever be has been, pastorsof churches
educators and others quite competent
to judge speak highly of his lectures.
Teachers' Directory.
»
Commissioner   Aidrich    has    pub-
lisbed a directory giving   a  calendar
for the schools showing the dates of I
examinations,   meetings,  etc.,   a list |
of qualified   teachers,   also of school
director* and township clerks, infor-
mation as to examinations,  reading,,
circle work, etc.    It will be very con
venient for reference.

Fox Has Bargain Window.
L. G. Fox the jeweler is always on
the alert for any new ideas which be
can work out to enlarge his acquaintance with the people of this vicinity.
His latest venture is a bargain window announced for the next two
weeks. Starting with tomorrow, be
wili put one article of bis stock in bis
window each day, marking ii at a
figure which will mate it a real bargain. No doubt quite a little excite-
ment will be created before the two
weeks are up in seeing who will be the
first to gobble up the bargain each
day.
Great Hay Market.
If one only notices the loads of
hay tbat are seen on the streets
every few minutes, he can form
something of an estimate of this see-
tion as a hay producing country and
of Clare as a market or shipping
point for tbe same. Jay Wyman informs us that he bas shipped over
200 carloads recently, most of it going to Virginia and West Virginia.
We do net know how much other
shippers may'bave sent away.
However, there is another side to
tbe question. This means so much
soil exhaustion. If this hay could be
fed at bome and butter, cream, beef,
mutton, etc., be shipped instead, it
would be far better for the country's
future.

The council by a majority vote on
Monday evening a,- cepted the applications of Joshua Fuller, and of J . M.
Davis and Geo. K. B< uner for salo-.n
licenses so that tbe saloons will en
ti'Jue in the same localities the coaling year. We presume cuis arrangement will be as satisfactory to tue
public as any that euuld have beeu
made. There were tive otber eaudi-
datts but they were not in it.
As we have already ?aid, ihe matter does not interest us i': tho least.
We did not care a pincu of snuff who
who received the licenses. We have
no grudge against anybody and no
reason" to work it off by assisting
him to get a license if we had the
power. We extend our sincerest
congratulations to those who did not
get a license and our deepest sympathies to those that did. Tbe people said they wanted saloons, and of
course some must be martyrs We
f«el as certain as we are living tbat
those wbo were refused licenses will,
on their death beds, bieas tbe council
for sitting down on them. We hasten
to call tbe attention of tbe members
of tbe council to this fact. They
doubtless feel tbat they get curses
enough and it may be some consolation to know that tbey bave a blessing coming, even though it is !n tbe
somewhat distant future.
Tbe people said they wanted these
saloons and now they are entitled to
have them. Fifteen thousand dollars is a modest estimate of the
amount that will be received over
tbeir bars the coming year, and we
assume tbat the peopie bave tbat
sum that they are anxious to spend.
Some people have cold chilis run up
their spinal coiunm and they are
thrown into a most serious conniption fit at ths proposal to incur an indebtedness of thirty thousand dollars
for a municipal plant, even though
tbey have twenty years in which to
pay it: but fifteen thousand in ft single vear for booze is easy. Great
financiers some people  are.
On Saturday, April 10th, at eight
o'clock a. m. Miss Maud Boody and
Mr R. Roy Feigbner, both of this
city, were united in marriage at the
home of the bride's parents on State
Street.
The c-rfTuony was performed by
Rev. J. H. Lowe of Midland, formerly pastor of tbe Baptist cburch here,
ami was witnessed only by tbe families ot the bride and Kroom. They
were, attended by Miss Laura Kryant
of this city and Ward Boody of Detroit, her twin brother. A remarkable coincidence occurred at tbis
wedding, tbe principals and attendants all being twins, a circumstance
that no doubt bas been duplicated
only in very rare cases.
Mr. and Mrs. Feighner left the
same forenoon on a short trip to
Midland and Detroit, but will make
tbeir home in Clare, occupying his
bouse on B   Seventh St  after a time.
Roy has been the efficient foreman
of the Sentinel for some four years,
getting bis training as a printer here
and at Midland. He took a very active part in the work of the Baptist
church of which he is a member, and
has lately been of assistance to tbe
otber churches of tbe city. Tbe
bride is also interested in tbe same
work, and in other things for tbe betterment of society.
Tbey have tbe best wishes of all
for happiness and success.

To make the school course more
serviceable and better adapted to the
needs of the pupils, the board bas
organized a "Junior High School,"
comprising tbe 7th, 8th and 9th
grades. It has been felt tbat tbere
has been too abrupt a change from
the 8th grade to tbe High School and
the new arrangement will tend to obviate this difficulty. Pupils making a
partial failure in tbe 7th and 8th
grades bave been kept back under
the old plan, and the new one will it
is thought largely correct this. Tbe
new plan will go into 6ffect next year.

Ihti&lito. »
Rev. J. H. Lowe of Midland preached at tbe Baptist church here on
Snnday morning.
The supper given by the Lutheran
ladies in their church parlors on
Wednesday evening and the entertainment by the young people's society following this were first class.
To one who has enjoyed one of these
aumptucus meals these ladies provide, nothing need be said about tbe
supper. There was an abundance
and to spare.
The entertainment following consisted of music, recitations, plays, etc.
partly in German but mostly in English. Miss Marie Bogan gave several fine piano solos also there was one
by Miss Frieda Giebel. Miss Tillie
Sehultz gave tbe address of welcome
while Gertrude Waidelich and Bertba
Hein had recitations. "Old Black
Joe" was nicely carried out as was
also a scene showing the difficulty of
securing a photograph when the one
whose picture is to be taken would
not keep stili and the relatives could
not agree upon tbe proper pose for
the picture.
A comedy of two scenes was very
nicely carried out. (ieo. Harinft and
Paul Belling, noting the fact that the
women seemed determined to "down
with tyranny"' and secure tbeir political rights, put up a job to spoil a
suffrage meeting, through a woman's
proverbial fear of a mouse. In the
second scene the plot succeeds.
Miss Maud Hall (.Marie Bogan) is delivering a most eloquent plea for
downtrodden woman, for which her
lady auditors liberally applaud her,
when suddenly the mouse scheme is
sprung and the screaming orator
and audience are stampeded.
The entertainment closed by singing "America." We congratulate
the yonng people on their success.
Their effort deserved a much larger
audience.
We regret that we have not space
to publish Mayor Ward's inaugural
in full. It is well worth reading.
However, we give extracts that will
give our readers an idea of its general tenor. He said among other
things:
"1 have my heart set on a city
united in bonds of peace and harmony, without factions, without dissensions, and I want everybody to
work with me to that end. Tbe only
test of our citizenship should be,
"What is best for Clare?" And let
me say that I stand for publicity.
The public servant of the right sort |
has nothing to fear from publicity, j
while the other kind of fellow will
often refrain from wrongdoing when
he knows that his every act will be
thoroughly aired in public. Now I
propose as mayor to make it my
business to know what is going on
and to see to it that the citizens of
Clare are kept constantly and
thoroughly informed on all things
vital to their interests; inviting them
to meet with us from time to time
and grant them the privilege of the
floor when they have anything of
public interest to discuss.
Let us take a true view of our city,
retrospective   and   prospective,   the
high spots and the low spots and become fully sensible to the duties now
before us.      Clare   has   many advantages which  other   cities   of its class
do not possess.     A   few years ago it
was a little colleetion of rough board
shanties in the pine woods.    Now we
ponit   with   pride   to   our   churches,
schools,    hotels,    banks,     elevators,
stores   and   residences,   ali   substantial! built and all placed in   a setting
of rich, agricultural   country   second
to   none   in   Michigan.      That,   little
lumber town in a few short years has
grown to an educational  and market
city of no mean order, and,   as such,
its    needs    for   the   future   must   be
judged.      While   it should be our en-
I di'iivor   to   keep   the  lax rate within
| bounds,   yet   we   cannot   consider  it
'the In-tter part of economy t'> ignore
! the necessity of additional   improvements of a  reasonable   nature,   tend-
| ing to further   develop   our   city.      I
I hope   that    one   and    all   will   work
solely    with   this   end    in   view,   and
everyone boost  for Clare."
Big Sale At Loomis.
Our readers in that territory wiil he
interest.-d in the big announcement
wbich the Gover Mercantile Co., the
new rim; at Loomis has in this issue.
They lately bought a stock of goods
at a very low figure from a firm which
was closing cut at Shepherd, and now
offer almost ali manner of articles at
a great reduction. It wiil no doubt
pay to   give  close   attention   to their
Gibis-Flood.
At St. Cecelia's cburch in this city
Wednesday at 9 a. m. Fr. McAllister
united in marriage Miss Anna Marie
Gibis a resident ot Grant Twp. to
Mr. John Joseph Flood, wbo lives a
short distance southwest of Clare.
They were attended by Leo Flood,
brother of the groom,and Miss Agnes
Thurston. Tbe ring ceremony was
most impressively used and was
witnessed by a large number of
friends. A wedding breakfast was
served directly after at tbe Gibis
home to about 50 invited guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Flood will begin
housekeeping at ths old home in Vernon Twp. al once, to wbicb place the
best wishes of a host of friends will
follow them.
The Senttnel joins in congratulations.
