Harvey   Stout   Drowns
In Shingle Lake.
From newsboy to floor-leader in
the House of Representatives! In j
this achievement i3 reflected aome of |
the '-fighting" qualities of Congressman M. Clyde Kelly, of Braddock, j
Pa., who will lecture here during the i
Clare Community Chautauqua.
The story of Congressman Kelly's
life is interesting as throwing some
lights on the character of this persistent fighter for what he considers to
be the people's rights.
He was born in Bloomneld Muskingum County, Ohio, He was educated in tbe public schools and later
attended Muskingum College. After
some experience as a school teacber
and later in business, he became interested in newspaper work and
moved to Braddock, Pa., where he
afterwards became president and
managing editor of the Braddock
News-Herald. He was elected to
congress in 1912, defeating John Dai-
sell who bad been the representative
in his district for 18 years.
After a long fight against wbat he
terms as "bossims" and "gag rule,"
Congressman Kelly was finally de- i section
feated by the Penrose machine in the
last election, losing bis seat by less
than a 1000 votes out of a total of
26,000 votes cast.
"Bnt," says Congressman Kelly,
"it was a battle worth a life
time's inglorious ease. The Penrose
machine boasts that it spent $100,000
in my district alone, and still I lost
tbe election by only a narrow margin.
I have already started on tbe battle
two years hence and I shall not quit
fighting until the grass grows green
above".
This remark, made immediately
after hie defeat, is characteristic of
the fighting spirit of Congressman
Kelly. And it is on some of tbe
principles that he ha6 fonght for
throughout his long political history
tbat be will speak at the Chautauqua.
Mr. Kelly believes Congressmen i search began
should work and should always be | for tbe body,
in attendance. He does not believe
in partisanship. He is a champion
of publicity believing in publicity for
all committee sessions in congress.
He is against executive sessions, and
also, tbe liquor interests. He is
against "gag" rule and "bossism."
His lectnre will be fnli of bis own
experiences and observations wbile
in tbe Pennsylvania legislature and
in congress and will be on tbe subject
"Machine Made Legislation".
Tbeprelnde to Congressman Kelly's
lectnre on the evening of the
third day will be given by Winifred
Townsend, Concert Company, an organization composed of Miss Winifred Townsend, violinist, Mise Faerie
Townsend, pianist, and Ralph Walker, cellist. Miss Faerie Townsend is
a talented soprano, while Mr. Walker is also widely known as a baritone.
Tbe company offers not only a
varied program of violin, soprano,
baritone and cello solos, trios and
quartette numbers, but Miss Faerie
Townsend is a reader of experience
and ability and gives a program of
inimitable child impersonations and
reading selections as  well.
This Is the seventh season for the
Tcwcsende. under the direction of
Miss Winifred Townsend. Their
program includes both classical and
popular numbers, witb a plentiful
"sprinkling" of humorous readings
And impersonations. The Winifred
Townsend Concert Company will
give tbe full program on tbe afternoon of the third day.
A lectnre fully entertaining ae tbat
by Congressman Kelly wili be the
afternoon of tbe fourth *'"? ot tbe
Chantaoqna by Dr. Ernest Q. Shouse.
He will speak on the snbject "The
Humor and Philosophy of Habit."
Dr. Shouse is by birth and education
a Southerner—tall of stature, broad of
mind and big of heart. Because of
his ability as a publicist, Dr. Shouse
has been urged to become a candidate for political office and bas been
tendered tbe nomination for governor
and United States Senator in Kansas.
Tbe lecture by Dr. Shouse will be
preceded by a concert given by the
Kilties Band, one of ths best known
bands of this and otber countries.
Tbe Kilties wbo appear in fall Scottish costumes will give a foil program
of band music, vocal solos and bag

SAO TRAGEDY.
Sunday
A sad tragedy was enacted at Lake
George on Sunday afternoon, one
that takes from the community a
husband and fatber and has cast a
gloom over tbat community. It removes one wbo in bis short residence tbere had made many friends
whose deepest sympathies go out to
the wife and little children thus bereft of the husband and fatber.
Last spring Mr. Stout purchased a
of land near Lake George
and moved his family from North
Bradley, having previously lived at
Attica. Ohio. Pending the erection
of a dwelling on his land, be bad
been living in a house belonging to
F. A. Luce. On Sunday he and his
family attended tbe Sunday scbooi
and were then gue-9ts of Mr. and
Mrs. Luce at dinner. After dinner
ia company with Mr. Luce and a
number of others, Mr. Stout went to
Shingle lake where several went in
bathing. Mr. Stout undertook tbe
feat of swimming across the lake,
something that he doubtless felt no
question about his ability to accomplish. No one accompanied him but
when about two-thirds of the way
across he was heard to call for help
and soon sank. As soon as possible
several boats reached the spot and
witb grapling hooks
Tbe water was about
tairty feet deep and it was about one
cour and forty minutes before it was
recovered. While a prolonged attempt at resusitation was made it
proved hopeless. Tbe body was taken on Tuesday to Attica, Ohio, the
old bome, wbere tbe funeral was
beld.
Mr. Stout was about 31 years of
a»e. strong and robuet, and a great
worker. He was the ideal type of
man needed in tbe development of a
new country. He bad been working
vigorously on bis new land and
would in a few years have developed
a fine farm. He leaves a wife and
four little children, tbe oldest only
about seven years. He bad made a
very favorable impression on tbe
community during bis short residence there and the deepest sympathy of all goes witb the sorrowing
wife and little fatherless cbildren.
Horning-Snell
At tbe Congregational parsonage
in tbis city last Sunday afternoon
Rev. Lyford united in marriage Miss
Anna I. Horning and Wm. Snell, using tbe fuil ring ceremony. Miss
Cora Fetters and Lawrence Horning,
a brother of the bride, acted aa witnesses.
The groom is a eon cf Thos. Sneli
of Wise township, wbile tbe girl of
bis choiue is a native of Vernon township. They will reside at tbe bome
of bis parents for tbe present we understand.
Tbe Sentinel extends cordial congratulations.
Pursuant to the request ot several
members, a special session of the
board of supervisors was held this
week Tuesday and Wednesday. Supervisor Emerson of Grant received
the high honor of being elected for

Elect Directors And Arrange For
Fair And Car Exhibits.
After several years of unsuccessful
effort on tbe part of the officials of
the Northeastern Michigan Development Bureau to have Clare county
become a member of that organization, tbe Beard of Supervisors at its
special session on Tuesday took the
necessary action, and tbis section
will now share in tbe financial responsibility and also in tbe benefits
to be derived from association with
the otber coucties where can be secured "The last good land at a low
price."
Secretary T. F. Marston and Wm.
H. Caple spoke to tbe supervisors in
behalf of tbe Bureau. Tbe latter bas
been heartily in sympathy witb its
work since theipolicy was adopted of
sending an exhibit car through lower Micbigan and otber states, and believes tbat as soon as tbe people of
otber sections get over tbe mistaken
notion tbat tbis is a country of jack
pines and barren sand, and find tbat
instead it bas soil whicb is adapted
to the raising of almost any crop,
and some of wbich compares favorably witb tbat to be found anywhere,
the settling up of the newer parts of
this and the other counties will he
rapid.
Definite and immediate results may
be looked for from the small expenditures allowed by the board. Supervisor D. W. Rowe of Farwell is to
accompany the car for ten days of
its present tour in Illinois, helping to
explain tbe opportunities in this section. Another member, L. W. Sunday cf Arthur Twp. will go to the
State Fair at Detroit for three days,
and four others, J. Francis McKenna
of Hamilton, Louis E. Siater of Sberidan. Alfred Gibson of Winterfield
and Fred H. Williams of Garfield,
being chosen to gather suitable exhibits for that event.
This county will also be represented
on the Bureau, two directors being
chosen in tbe persons of Jobn E. Bruce
of Greenwood and David Ward of
tbis city. $55 was authorized for
otber advertising than that already
mentioned, making tbe total outlay
about equal to amount ordinarily appropriated for the Bureau by each
county yearly, viz., $200.
l£dw. Becker Suffers Stroke.
Last week an old and well known
resident of tlje second ward was the
cause of anxiety anions tbe members
of bis family, when he had a stroke
of apoplexy, bis condition continuing
critical for several days. At last accounts he was sligbtiy improved,
but on account of bis advanced age,
small hops is held out for his ultimate recovery. His children were
summoned from various points, including Mrs. H C. Wanea and two
daughters of Toledo, John Becker of
