Cover Them Over.
Cover them  over with  beautiful
flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those
brothers of ours;
Lying so silent by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Years they had marked for the joys
of the brave,
Years they muBt waBte in the sloth
ofthe grave.
AH the bright laurels they fought to
make bloom,
Pell to the earth when theyjwent to
the tomb.
Give them the meed they haye won
in the past;
Give them the honors their merits
forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in
the strife;
Give them  the  laurels  they lost
with their life.
Cover them over yes cover them over,
Parent and  husband and brother
and lover,
Crown  in your heart  these   dead
heroes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers.
* * *.        * *       .
When  the  long years  have   crept
slowly away,
E'en to the dawn of  earth's funeral day;
When,  at the Archangel's trumpet
and tread,
Rise up the faces and formB of the
dead;
When the great world its last 'judgment awaits;
When the blue sky shall swing open
its gates,
And our long columns march silently through,
Past the  Great  Captain for  final
review;
Then for the blood that has flown for
the right,
Crowns shall be given, untarnished
and bright;
Then the glad ear of each war-martyred son,
Proudly shall hear the  good judgment, "Well done".
Blessings for   garlands   shall  cover
them over,
Parent and  husband  and  brother
and lover;
God will reward theae dead heroes of
ours,
And cover them over with beauti-
ful.flowers.

OVEKFLOW OF THE CHIPPEWA.
Owing to the continued and heavy
rains, the Chippewa river rose to a
heighth never before known by the
oldest inhabitant. The road west of
the A. A. R. R. Btation was fully three
feet deep. Many trees were uprooted
and banks torn down. Nearly all
the old park was under live feet of
water and almost all of Island Park
was under water, race track and all.
It has practically settled the idea of
having a racetrack. While very convenient, it would be liable to be
washed away by any big storm, at a
big financial loss. The banks near
the A. A. station began to cave in
and sand bags and other materials
had to be used keep- tbe whole track
from going down. Tbe most damage was done to the cemetery bank,
which was worn back about fifteen
feet. Three bodies of the cemetery
were removed and reburied, otherwise they would have been washed
away in the river. There will likely
be built a wall a little higher than
high water mark so as to protect the
cemetery bank, else it will be destroyed. Orowds of sightseers were
on hand for several days taking in
the unusua'Heonditions. Photographers took many Views. Two daring
young men attempted to shoot the
dam, but unfortunately the boat upset and they got a good bath for their
part of the adventure.
Notice to All Water Takers.
Notice is hereby given that all
water rents are now due. The City
Clerk will be at E. A. Anderson's
Drug Store to collect same every
evening on and after Monday evening May 13th, 1912, to Friday evening May 31st, and all water rents
that are not paid at that time will
be turned off on the first (1st) day of
June, 1912 until same is paid and
together with a fine of 50 cents.
By Order of the Common Council.

Mrs. Fannie Van Brunt.
Fannie Horning was born May 7,,
1848, in Erie Op. N. Y. Nov. 16,1809,,
she was united in marriage to SAlbert-
VanBrunt at the old homestead and
soon after came to Michigan, For
some 35 years they were residents of
Clare, Mr. VanBrunt dying here last
July, They had one son, Clarence,,
and soon after Mr. Van Brunt's death
she went to Spokane, Wash., to reside with him, and here the end came
May 15th. Accompanied by the son,,
the body was brought to this city to
be laid beside that of the husband.
The funeral, conducted by Rev.
Knight, was held from the residence,
of Levi Shafer on Wednesday and
was attended by many old  friends.
Mrs. VanBrunt was a membir of
of the Disciple church but while
living here was an active worker ft*
the Congregational. She is survived
by a son, grandson, two sisters and
Ave brothers, only a portion of
whom could be in attendance at tbe-
funeral.
KAYKAKEE BANQUET
Tendered to the Gentlemen
Tuesday Evening.
On-
Humbly repentant for the long
year in which they had neglected
their husbands, the ladies of tbe
study club most bountifully repaid
their obligation on Tuesday evening
by making the gentlemen their
guests at a splendid banquet spread
in the dining room of the Calkins-
House. Had their debt been real, and;
not imaginary, they would still have*
amply discharged it.
Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Phelps provided a menu, excellent in its selection,,
and perfect in its preparation and'
service. The menu cards were a work
of art, the front cover being in blue-
and gold with two embossed plates,,
one a group of wigwams*, the other
a buffalo hunt; being emblematic of
the aboriginal nature of the club. An
extra touch was added by the elusive '
names given the items in the menu
so that coffee, or even plain water,
appeared neatly disguised. During
the banquet; excellent music wasfur-
nirhed by S. C. Kirkbride and Oarl
White upon the violin and Mrs-"
Strickland at the piano.
The inner man having been satisfied, the club president,   Mrs. • E, H-
Waller, called on each of the gentlemen guests  to respond   to   a  brief,
toast. Mrs. E. A. White sang a beautiful-solo, "For Love's Sweet Sake":.
Mrs.   Waller   then   introduced   the*
toastmaster of the evening,  our, esteemed townsman, Dennis E. Alward.
Mr.   Alward  had   a neat  line  of  '
roasts on all the speakers and after
a few lefthanded compliments to the-,
ladles introduced the first speaker,.
Dr. F. R. Gray, who was given the
toast,   "The    Olub    Woman    From
Man's Viewpoint", his respnse being in pleasing verse, He was followed by F. B. Doherty with, "The Woman Suffragette", and Mr. Doherty
delineated what he conceives to  be •
a nobler function   for  woman  than
the exercise of suffrage/Arthur And-
rus took advantage  of the subject,,
"The Twentieth Century Woman",
to crack a few chestnuts.  Dr. J. B
Roe discussed tbe subject,  "Is Marriage A Failure?", easily arriving at
a  negative  conclusion.   Supt. O. L-
PoulBon spoke of  "Woman In* Educational Work", outlining educational work that woman may do in the
home, and suggesting needed changes in our school system to better fit
our girls for home makers.
. At this point interrogation marks,
appeared upon the program,  aptly
standing for the lady speaker of the
evening   whose  identity  had    been
kept a secret. After a tribute to woman the  toastmaster  introduced the
last speaker,   Mrs.. Rose   Harrison,
who responded to   "(fie  toast,   "The
Twentieth   Century  Man",  an  eloquent   but grossly flattering tribute
to the men whose vanity had already
reached the bursting point from the-
splendid entertainment they had received from the club ladies   at this,
th,eir second anniversary.
Marie Holbrook.
On Sunday, the 19th, Mr. and Mrs..
Thos. O: Holbrook were Called upon*
.to mourn the death Of their little'
daughter, Marie. Naturally frail, an>
organic disease of the heart brought*
the end at the early age of 5 years,,
3 mos. and 28 days. The funeral,,
conducted by Rev. Walker * was held
on Tuesday "morning, "four schopl
girls acted as bearers.. The sympathy of all go out to the family id
their bereavement.
