OLARE PEOPLE   POISONED.
From Eatinp Pressed Beef   In
Sandwiches Sunday.
Twelve Olare people ate sandwioh-
esjmade of pressed brJe'f which resulted in ptomaine poisoning and whioh
would have proven fatal but for the
Mediqal attention of Dr. Sanford.
It seems that the beef was purchased from one of the oity meat
markets by different people. Two
parties were enjoying a Sunday picnic at Dewey Lake. In the one party
were Wm. Lange, wife and. child,
Bert .Greer, John Lowry, Anna
Lowry and the little neice of Mrs.
Cours. The ladies had prepared
pressed beef sandwiches. Wm.
Lange, Bert Greer, John* Lowry and
Anna Lowry partook of them and a
short time afterward were taken
violently ill. They hurried to their
homes when Dr. Sandford was called
and by administering,medicine they
were soon relieved, with no serious
results except a.weakened condition.
In the other party were Mr, and
Mrs, Frank Derby and Mr, and Mrs.
John Hiibbel. They were also poisoned and relieved by Dr. Sanford
with no serious results.
The family of F. I. Ross were also
poisoned from tbe seme cause-but in
their case no doctor was called as It
did not seem to have as bad an effect
on them, although they were quite-
sick for a time.
The family of Art Sohoonover were
taken seriously ill Monday from the
same cause. Mr. Schoonover had to
be taken home in a buggy from the
M. E. church where be was working,
but, as in the other cases, no serious
result occured. M.

campaign work, and will have charge
of the committee headquarters in
New York, 'with general supervision
over the business of the campaign
throughout the country.
This campaign is expected to be
one of the most severe the republican
party ever has gone through, and it
is expected that Mr„ Alward will be
actively engaged from the time congress adjourns. The committee in
addition to the general headquarters
in New York, will have branch headquarters in Chicago.
It will be necessary, of course, for
the Michigan state committee to
elect a new secretary to succeed Mr.
Alward, who has held the place for
16 years. But Chairman Diekema, of
the committee, says he has no idea
as yet as to who the new man will be.
[By personal interview.]
Mr. Alward arrived in this city last
Monday and is spending a few days
with his family and friends. He is
too valuable, however, to be allowed
much of a vacation. About August 1
he will go to New York and will .enter actively upon the committee work
oj which he will have general charge.
In the meantime he will put the
work in shape in this state for his
successor. He will be sadly missed
here where his long experience and
almost universal acquaintance made
his services invaluable.
Mr. Alward believes that the outlook for republican success in the
coming campaign }s bright. President Taft has been criticised just as
Mr. McKinley was at the opening of.
the Spanish war. People thought
him "too slow, "but they* know better now. Everything tends to show
that minor differences will be settled
and the party present an unbroken
front to the enemy, ,   ...    A.
Barney O'Kain, the Insane Man
From Summerfeld Township.
The insane man found by Sheriff
'Sunday last week, mention of which
was made in last week's issue, was
taken to Traverse Oity Monday by
the sheriff. They were accompanied
by Miss Charlotte O'Kain, sister of
the man, who arrived from Chicago
on Friday last. O'Kain was discharged from the asylum at Indian-
apolis in 1908 as cured. He is a resident of Chicago and for the present
will be confined at Traverse City until papers can be made out when he
will be transfered to Cook county,
state of Illinois. The state of Illinois
will have to pay all expenses.       ,M.

An Important decision.
A judge in Monroe county, Wis.,
has handed down a decision of more
than passing interest. An angler in
pursuit of trout, waded a stream
through private property. The owner brought Buit alleging trespass.
The court held that the owner had
no right nor title to a stream passing
through his land or to fish in that
stream; that thestreams and the fish
in them belong to the commonwealth
and the public to navigate these
streams, either by boats or by wadr.
ing. It was further held that so long
as a person following the stream' refrained from setting foot- on . the
banks no charge of trespass could be
made.—Forest and Stream. ■

From, our Special Correspondent
Much interest has been developed
in Isabella circuit court this week
over the proposed drain to Stevenson lake. Many witnesses were
present. Hon, A. J* Doherty, B.J.
Husted, Ed. Russell, Mr. and Mrs.
Duncan and a number of others in
Clare and about Stevenson ,ake were
present. Attorneys Fancher and
Burwasb represented the complain-,
ants (Mr. and Mrs. Duncan) and Attorney McNamara represented the
drain commissioner. The plaintiffs
hold that the drain, if put through,
Will lower the water in tho lake
about three feet and lessen the water
surface about one-third of its present
area. This will to a large degree destroy the previleges of resorting and
add much to the general expeuse.
The defendant contends if tbe - drain
went through that several hundred
acres would be: open to cultivation
and the general health much improved by removal of stagnant water.
The question of lessening the rainfall due to this drainage of the lake
was not commented upon by either
side. Severai testified that the water has already been lowered five to
six feet during the last thirty years.
Of course these were only estimates.
Not only is an injunction asked for
relative to the proposed drain, .but
some provision is demanded whereby tbe outflow from tbe lake to the
tha^Willow creek dam that connects
with the north branch of the Chippewa be lessened. This drain iB lowering the lake. It is further contended to be against the law to lower any
body of navigable water. In a few
days the attorneys will make their
pleas and ihe judge will give his decision.
The case took an unusual turn
when several witnesses testified that
liquor was sold at the resort there on
the Fourth ot July by several bartenders. Possibly it may have been
sold on Sundays and other days, It
looks as if there would be trouble in
another direction than the drain.

decorated with roses and smilax.
The presents were many and beautiful. The happy couple will go to

the groom
We clip the following from the
Eaton Rapids Journal: "Miss Anna
M. Eberhart, the very capable and
efficient first grade .teacher in the
city schools for the past year, was
married to Mr. Ervin H. Hetrick, at
4:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon, the
ceremony being performed by the
Rev. H, H. VanAuken at his home in
Charlotte. The happy twain was
accompanied by the bride's sisterj
Miss Nina Eberhart and •Principal
Uphegrove, both of „the Dimondale,
school. The groom is a prosperous
young farmer living a mile east of
Dimondale, where he will immediate
ly take his bride, who has gained a
wide circle of friends in this city,
all of whom will join the Journal in
extending congratulations." -J
The bride is a graduate of the Clare

news was crowded out of last week's*
Sentinel, but though it is cow a.little*
old it has enough local interest to
•warrant running it at this time. The*
story is from a Detroit daily:
Rep. William Sulzer, of New York,,
indicated an intention in the bouse*
today to scandalize Dennis E. Alward of Clare, Mich,, reading cJerfc
of tbe house and secretary of the- republican state contrail committee off
Michigan, and in that project "was-
called down by Rep. George A. Londt
of Michigan in decisive fashion.
The general deficiency bill was- np
and the paragraph relating to raising
the Maine under consideration. Mr,-
Sulzer found fault with the way ant
amendment be had offered to thai,
paragraph was read. He declared}
that an "and" had been changed to
an '"or" at the clerk's desk and tbafc
it was the most outrageous thing the
clerks had done to a piece of legislation in a long time.       ■
As Mr. Alward was at the desk:
when the Sulzer amendent was pmas-"*
ed, it was up to him and he waa
much aroused over the charge, as Jae»
knew no change had been made by
him. "
But while Mr. Alward was searcto-
ing the books to trace the matter Colonel Loud got the floor and read confusion to Mr. Sulzer out of the congressional record. He showed by
the record that it was on Mr. Loud'a
motion that the "and" in question-,
had been changed to an "or" and
that Mr. Sulzer had accepted she*
change, although in doing so he badl
said he would not accept it if be did!
not have to. "^
Mr. Sulzer was so thoroughly-
squelched that he could not comes
back with a word. When Mr. Sulzezr
gets that way he is thoroughly
squelched.
