A Correction.
A few weeks ago we published an
Stem concerning tbe fine Yorkshire
bogs on thn 0. and T. Stock Farm in
Vernon. Mr. Pt pa gave the facts all
right and the matter was written all
rlghf, but sotpe careless proof reading raised the mischief. He was
made rnsponsible for the statement
that four sows dropped 72 pigs when
it should have read 6 sows, and tbat
•shows some prolific hogs all right.
By the way, Mr. Pope bas put up
S80 tons of silage and is now harvesting four acres of beets and mangels.
These are fed mostly to hogs, being
••asked and other feed mixed in.
All feed for the bogs ia cooked.
FRIGHTFULLY WOUNDED.
Frederick; Davis.
Mr. Davis died at Mercy Hospital,
Bay Oity, on Sunday, September 28.
He had gone there sotn'e two weeks
previously for an operation, but bis
weakened condition rendered it out
of the question, The funeral, con-'
ducted by Rev. Lyfprd of this city,
waa held &v the Dover church on
Wednesday and was largely attended.
Interment iu Cherry Grove cemetery.
Among relatives from a distance
were Mr. and Mrs. 0. D. Harvey
and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Foster of
Brown Oity, the Misses Crawford of
Saginaw and Jesse Wood of Battle
Greek.
Mr. Davis was about 47 years of
age and a native of Ohio as we are
informed, He came to this county
with his parents when a mere lad so
that moot of bis life was spent here.
Hie wife was Miss Rosa Wood and
8ve children remain with the wife to
mourn tbe husband and father.

Harry Hagan of Mt" Pleasant
May Not Live.
Scarcely a day passes that we do
mot reai of some one being killed or
Maimed by a gunshot, coming in a
•way th*t seems the height of carelessness. The pferaon, seizes a gun
by tme muazle and draws it toward
feint, when, of course, the hammer is
drawn back by striking against
^something and the gun is discharged
0» Sunday morning Harry Hagan,
whn is said to be about 22 years of
*ge, went with Guy Martin to Duck
Lake, about two miles from Mt.
Pleasant, to hunt ducks. In getting
irom the boat the young man tried
■*he old trick with the result
ihafc he received the charge of
shot in the abdomen, inflicting a
terrible wound. He did not lose con.
Jioiousness and his companion, after
binding np the wound as best he
•ould, took him down'the river to
therCity as rapidly as possible when
Ms wound was dressed. Surgeons
think he stands a fair chance of recovery. He is unmarried, an orphan
and works in a local grocery store.
Horse Badly Hurt.
Yesterday morning about nine
o'clock as I. E. Johnson was unloading coal from an open car into one
of the Olare Elevator Co. coal wagons, the local freight engine backed
into the siding with a few cars, and
before he was able to get out of the
way, caught the horse in such a way
as to break a leg at the knee. /
The animal, which wae a small
bay, was later shot and put ont of
its misery.
ENSILAGE BLOWER
Clips John Ash'ne*s Fingers .
Too Quick
It has v become so common for
people to be maimed in a corn busker that no one thinks it at all strange
When it happens. However, we
think to John ^sline belongs the
honor and the" pleasure^) of demonstrating that an ensilage blower can
take off a man's fingers in much
quicker time than a surgeon though
tbe job might be somewhat less
scientifically * performed. On last
Friday he was filling a silo for Fred
Turbush and as tbe silage had been
wet too much, it clogged the blower
and a stop was made to clean it out.
Mr, Asline knew that the enjine had
stopped and be knew the driving belt
bad run off, but somehow failed to
realize at the instant that the momentum of the big weeei on "the cutter was still working the machinery
at a lively clip. He thrust the two
first fingers df his left band iuto tbe
blwwer and in a flash they were off
clear up to the hand. A quick ligature prevented ^Sny loss of blood and
he hastened to this, city where Dr.
Sanford dressed the hand and made
him as comfortable as possible.
And after it was over he doubtless
wonders how he could have failed.to
notice that the machine was running,
bnt very likely he did about what
nine out of ten men would have done
under the same circumstances.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
Magnificent Success From
Point Of View.
Every
Birthday Parly.
Last Saturday about twenty-five
3adies were entertained by Mrs. E.
H- Waller at the fine home on West
Seventh Street, in honor of her mother, Mrs. Weeks,. who has lately
-eome from Kalamazoo, arid will
make her home in Clare for the present, at least.
The evening was spent in games
and social intercourse, lunch being
served.

On Friday evening of last week
Mrs. Dan Grouse gave an autumn
|>arty at the pleasant home on West
Seventh street, Miss Salena Blackburn of Belleville, Ont., being the
guest of honor. The evening was
spent mainly With music in which
Miss Blackburn is quite highly proficient* A very pleasant time was
snjoyed by all.
Baked Goods Sale.
The Guild will holdm baked goods
sale at Anderson's Drug store tomorrow (Saturday), Watch for iti
adr
Week before last the Sentin«l announced tbat the teachers at Herrick
would give an entertainm«at at the
scnool house on the afternoon and
evening of Sept. 26, the chief feature
of which would be an agricultural
and fruit exhibit. The matter was
worked up on short notice and one
who understands tbe exacting nature
of a teacher's daily woi;k will appreciate the difficulty of undertaking
any thing extra. Bnt now the general verdict seems to be that this
exhibit made the average county
fair look like 30 cents.
The people responded nobly to the
request for farm and household products. E. W. Allen looked after the
fruit and W. J. Maxwell the vegetables. The corn, potatoes, big
pumpkins, squashes, eet. were a
sight to behold, while apples, grapes,
eet. made one's mouth water. Fancy
work from the households and
"baked goods", much of it the
handiwork of the school girls, were
in evidence.
Of course there had to be some
"side attractions." It seems to be
the fashion and people seem to expect them* Hence the Gypsy fortune teller appeared on the scene
and there was a wigwam filled with
the original inhabitants Of the country. And of course there must be
races, so these were duly pulled off
in the afternoon. How could the
goddess, Ceres, be away on such an
occasion as this? One cannot conceive of such a thing and of course
the occasion was graced with her
presence.
From the sale of ice cream and
other dainties, together with that of
exhibits donated by the owners,
some S18.00 was realized toward the
purchase of that microscope,
universal sentiment seemed
that there should be another next
year. It strikes Us tnat it will be
well for the surrounding county
fairs to so arrange their dates as not
to conflict.
The teachers. Misses* Haryietta
Wood and Mildred Eidtare entitled to
great credit for attempting and car-
tying out this enterprise.
Mrs. Elida Adams.
, Mrs. Elida AJains, one of the early
and most esteemed pioneers of Reed
Oity died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lou B. Wincsor, Sunday
afternoon after a lingering illness.
Her last sickness had lasted for
about two years but she bad been an
invalid the greater part of ber life.
The remains were taken to -High'
land, Mich., on, Wednesday morning
wbere they were laid to rest
beside those of her husband who
preceded her to the Spirit world
some four years ago. The casket
was simply buried with iloval offerings which showed tbe bigh esteem
in which sbe was held by all who
knew her.
The deceased was born in Lansing-
burg, New York, and was 75 years of
age. Sbe was married about 55 years
ago and she and her husband lived
to celebrate their golden wedding
anniversary, but he survived only
one year longer, having dropped
dead in Detroit while visiting his
daughter, Mrs. Dora Wilson.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams came to Reed
City in 187£, or Bhortly after the
coming of the railroad to this section.
For a quarter of a century they run
a big railroad dining room and res-
tauraut, In the early days Reed City
was made tbe center for all railroad
men and it was no tincormjon thing
for 200 of tb«m to eat here iu one day.
Mr. ami Mra. Adam* resided in tbe
big red house that still stands opposite the depot.
Among the surviving relatives who
were here for the funeral were a son,
Will L. Adams, of Clare; two sifters,
Mrs. Burns of Detroit, and Mrs. Jennie Jones and daughter of Buffalo,
N. Y.; Mrs. Dora Wilson of Detroit.
—Osceola Oo. Herald.
The fire alarm system of the city
has been giving trouble for some
time back, and at present is not in
working order at all.
The trouble is thought to be in tbe
wiriner, and aa the joints were not
soldered when the apparatus was installed, it will require an examination of the entire circuit to determine
where tbe defective connections are.
There is also considerable complaint
as to telephone wires being strung
upon tbe same poles, and allowed to
interfere witb tbe alarm wires.
The matter was brought to tbe attention of "the council at their last
meeting and a committee appointe'
to investigate. It is hoped that some
action will be taken toward insuring
protection5 to the city in case of fire.
At the present time we must de*
pend upon the telephone unless a
fire occurs close to tbe City Hall So
if the flames break out in your neighborhood, call Engineer Holmes at the
water works or at his residence on
tbe Union phone or Ptre Chief Lange
on the Bell phdne, then trust to Providence and wait.
Real Estate Sales.
Alderman Lamoreaux has sold his
residence on State Street to Julius
Schug of Vernon who will become a
resident of the city at an early day.
Mr. Lamoreaux expects to build or
buy another borne here a« we are informed.
N. F. Geeck bas sold bis residence
on Seventh street to- Mrs. Hall of
Midland. Mr. Geeck it is reported
will build a bungalow on the corner
west of bis present rssideuee.
There is certainly one thing that
would seem to make a situation in
our sobools something to be eagerly
sought after. Most of the1 secret
societies demand liberal fees of those
who seek entrance. We suppose
tbat the average Mason would be
tickled to death at the idea of receiving th<» 33rd degree in that order, yet
not one in a thousand can hopato do
that. Each new teaeber here how.
ever has ihe honor and pleasure(?) of
this degree without money and without price. While these other tfecreTj
orders are confined to a ritual, so
tbafc there is a sameness in the initiations, this one, we are informed, has
an entire change of program" on
each occasion.
On Friday last, all new comers
found on their desk a mysterious
looking black roll duly labeled
"Poison." A scroll within, bearing
skull and cross bones. *,ave notice of
"Meojorial services" at which their
presence was urgently requested.
It seems a lad, one Timothy Tubbs,
had been foully murdered and a fortune teller, wb ose statement o f
course may always be implicitly accepted, revealed the fact tbat some
one of these teachers was the culprit.
One after another each was made to
grasp tbe cold, clammy band of the
deceased, to drink his blood, to eat
the worms that; would eat bis body
and various other fearful tests. We
are informed tbat the test seemed to
indicate that all were'guilty wben to
the amazement(?) of everybody Timothy suddenly revived and—-behold
it was all a dream.
Some Potatoes.
Henry Grigg of Sheridan has.
brough to this office three potatoes
of the "Green Mountain" variety
that are whoppers. One weighs a'
trifle oveif'fcwo pounds and tlje othera
well up to the two pound ma*k« One
potato brought from Genesee *0o.
some years ago was tbe starting
point of this variety and now be caft'
supply seed for ail comers. On©
half acre this year produced 200 .bushels. Unlike most large potatoes,
Mr. Grigg says these are of excellent
quality and sound throughout.
But Sb'erldan is not the only plafio
where potatoes grow, John 0'Boyle,
of Yernotf muafc have »nrml->vd that
some one else would claim to be the
champion potato gjrower, so he has *
sent in bv George Turbush 8' potatoes
that weig.'i 13 pou'nds, six ounces-
One of them tips the b«am Pt 2X
pounds. Wo do not know of What
variety thfese potatoes are or how
they yielded per acre, The ey«s are
deeper than the Green Mountain
sort but they do not seem inclined
to grow off shoots and are certainly
mammoths. A dozen of either of.
these would make a small man »
full meal.
If some one thinks he can go one
better, let bim bring on tbe goods./

We get the following from a few
thoughts given ua by Mrs. Lucy A.
Scott:
"American women are the busiest
women in the world.
The Held of feminine industry, em«
bracing, as it does, domestic and
mechanical pursuits, most of tho
professions, all of art and literature,
and so many philanthropic and reformatory movements ns to be the
wonder and admiration of ail lands,
sufficiently proves this.
But the women to whom, I refer
just now, are not only bn»y in a general but in a public sense.
They are chose whose bands and
hearts ara foil of actual interests
and duties; those who having improved tbeir five talents receive in
addition that of the idle or unprofitable servant. The sacred parable
is being repeated every day, and
those wh» are faithful to their 'absent
Lord, not only use their own opportunities, but bave added strength
given to take up service which ought
to be rendered by others,
Temperence work we will for tbe
present call an 'added r isponsibility.'
Its intensely practical character
does not commend it to visionary,
vaccillating natures. Only esraest,
persisteut women, whose muscles
have learned the grace of endurance,
can accept it; by them 'the burden
must be bourne if it is bourne at all.
Admitting tbis as I believe -you will
after a little thought, we are led to
enquire: 'Why are not more of our
husy women engaged in temperence
work?' I reply: Because they have
not given the subject that serious
consideration which it deserves.
Shall we not together examine its
claims upon ns, casting aside for the
moment all prejudice?
Our District conyehtion with Mrs,
Norma Mudge of St. Louis as President will be held Oct. 8,
