A Close Call.
A workman engaged in the. construction of the sewer near the. Union
depot met with a, very narrow escape
Tuesday forenoon from the caving in
of tbe banks. He was at a point in
the ditch where it was about ten feet
deep, and got down to adjust a sewer
pipe, when the walls of sand fell
burying him to .the depth of several
feet, the other workmen promptly
began digging him out, but when
they got to him he was unconscious
from suffocation. Later in the day he
was limping around from a strained
leg and receiving congratulations
that he got out alive.
BAR BANQUET.  '
t. W. Perry Feasts Bar of Clare
And Isabella Counties.
Mrs. Mamie Manley,
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Michigan
City, Ind., Mrs. Archie B. Manly died
ot peritonitis after only one week's
sickness at the early age of 27 years
8 months and 8 days. She was tbe
youngest child of Robert and Elizabeth Koontz and was born at Mineral
Point, Ohio. When she was but four
years old her parents moved to Vernon township near this city where
she grew to womanhood .She attended the high school iu this city and
later was employed as a clerk in the
~*tor_ot Bicknell & Co. In June,
1903 she was united in marriage to
Archie B. Manley and soon moved to
New Buffalo and later to Michigan
Oity where her home haa since been.
One child, Harold, a boy now of six
years came* to bless this nnion. Her
father dying several years ago, the,:
mother has been a welcome guest
at her home during most of her
.married life.
The body was brought to this city
on the evening train last Saturday,
accompanied as bearers by three
-Members of the Brotherhood of
Switchmen to whioh the husband belongs and three of the Order of Ben
Hur of which both were members.
The funeral, conducted by Kev. Q.
Walker, was- held at the Methodist
tihurch Monday afternoon and was
largely attehded by relatives and
former friends, tha services at the
.grave in Cherry Grove being con
-ducted 'accordnag to the Ben Hur
' -ritual. The casket was literally
"buried in the profusion of beautiful
flowers which loving friends had
contributed. One ^brother lives in
Texas and was unable to be present
Besides the husband and son, Mrs.
Manley leaves to mourn her departure the mother, one sister, Mrs. E.B.
Gorr of this city and two, brothers,
Jerry of this city and Charles of
Texas, and a wide circle of friends
Back near the old home that she
knew and loved in childhood and
where she blossomed into womanhood it seems fitting that the final
resting place should be, The stately
pines that her childhood knew are
gone but in their place there spring
the beautiful flowers, emblems of a
glorious resurrection in the sweet

SECRET BALLOTS IN
THE PIANO CONTEST.
Ballot Boxes to be Found at
Each Bank After Saturday Night,
AS WELt AS AUH^ENTINEL OFFICE.
In accepting the offlce of president
of the Clare-Isabella Bi-County Agricultural Society, to which he was
elected on the 12th,    Mr. Ward ex-
"Gentlemen:—In accepting the
hon--'"' of ".-tips ae yonv P'*e2.J?,r,t fer
the ensuing year I wieh to thank the
Association for the confidence placed
in me; and I will to the best* of my
ability serve you as in tbe past.
"Your humble servant,
"David Ward."
In many counties there are bar
associations or some sort pf organization among the members of th-*
bar which regularly hold a banquet
and enable its members to enjoy a
social time and discuss matters of
special interest to the profession.
There seems to be no such organization in either Clare or Isabella
counties. However, it seemed to
have occurred to 0, W. Perry, one
of the oldest members of the bar
here, that something of that sort
would be a fine thing, so he issued
invitations to the bar members of
both counties to join with him at the
Hotel Calkins on Thursday evening,
November 17th. Twenty of the
twenty-seven members responded
and so well djd they enjoy themselves thatit was 1:30 Friday morning' before they could tear themselves away. As to the. banquet,
we understand that all were loud in
praise of mine host Phelps and all
agree that he fairly outdid himself
on this occasion. Francis McNamara
of Mt. Pleasant was toastmaster and
handed out some enjoyable "roasts"
op his brothers in introducing them.
We think that even the intimate
friends of Prosecutor Quinn will be
surprised to learn that once on a
time be successfully impersonated
four different men at the same time.
The following program waB carried ont.
Fraternity of the Bar, Hon. John
Maxwell.
Relation of Attorney  and Client,
H. A.-Sanford.
The Office of, the Law, John Quinn.
Reminiscences of the Bar, Hon. I.
A. Fancher.
The Lawyer's Reward, Hon. Geo.
J. Cummins.
The public's Opinion of Lawyers,
Ohas. T. Russell.
The short Ballot, Arthur J. Lacy.
Legal Ethics, Hon. Peter F. Dodds.
Congressman Dodds being absent,
Wm. N. Brown was called Upon instead. N. J. Brown performed a
like service for Mr. Lacy and Frank
H. Duaenberry for Mr. Cummins.
Naturally the discussion of such a
topic as "The Public's Opinion of
4 Lawyers" would be very secret, but
as a matter of fact reporters were
rigidly excluded from the entire
program and not allowed even to
liBten at tbe key hole, hence little
can be said with certainty concerning the speeches. The public can
still hold its own opinion of "The
Lawyer's Reward," regardless of
the rosy view taken bj those present.
We think we can safely say that the
speeches were of a high order and
reflected credit on all concerned.
The opinion is ventured that Mr.
Lacy isn't the only man who knows
a thing br two about the "short
ballot." There was a big lot of
fellows who were "short" on ballots
runonHv nnri  .Thev a,Ta atf]]  enrnlnlriini-
how it all happened.
No organization was formfirt <.o
we understand but doubtless this is
only the beginning, and tbe example
so successfully set by Mr. Perry will
be followed by others in the future.

After Saturday night all ballots in
the Sentinel's piano contest will be
secret, Ballot boxes will be found at
the Clare County Savings Bank,
the Citizen's State Bank and
the Sentinel Office, and orderB for
subscriptions with the money to pay
for them can be deposited in either
place. Special blanks and envelopes
for this purpose can be found at the
banks or at this office. These boxes
will not be opened until the last day
of the contest, and then only by tbe
judges who are to count the ballots.
The names of these judges will be
announced next week. They have
already been selected, and are
among the best known and most reliable men in town.   -
We have forseen that the end of
the contest will be hotly contested,
and to show to the public that we
mean to be -fair to all, we take tbis
way of ending the contest. We will
know nothing ofthe work being done
by the girls, as we would if the votes
were turned in in the usual way.
Th.ere is no opportunity for any one
to know for whom the votes are cast.
Don't ask us for we know no more
about it than you do and we could not
tell if we would.
We do know that each of the girls
needs all the help she can get to win,
as no girl has the piano or other final
prizes "cinched." There ia a possibility yet for the lowest one on the
list to become first, and one can
never tell just how much help each
one needs until after the ballots are
counted, and then it may be too late
to help the one you would like to see
win it. Tbe better plan iB to do your
helping now, and if the girl does not
win it in the end you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that the votes
were there if she had needed them.
The piano will go to the girl who has
the greatest number of votes without
favor and without choice. Let us
hope it will be the girl who is your
favorite.
There can be no blame laid on us
no matter which' way the contest
turns. We feel that we are doing a
great deal for the girls, and would
not like to have it said after the contest is ended tbat we have helped
one eirl more than another. We will
as cheerfully give tbe piano to one
girl as another. It will be left to
the judges to decide which lady shall
carry off the high honors,
SPECIAL VOTE OFFER.
After Saturday night the following
special vote offer will be in effect:
One renewal subscription entitles you
to 400 votes; one new subscription
entitles you to 500 votes; S5 on subscriptions, old or new, gives you
4,000 extra votes; Sip on subscriptions
votes; 820 on new subscriptions entitle."- yon to ?0,nn0 oxtrs- yot«»a To
receive the extra votes you simply
inclose the amount in__l_e special
envelope with the blank properly
filled out, and the judges will give
you the votes. Be sure that the
parties names to whom you wish the
Sentinel sent are plainly written.
If you do not understand how to
vote, ask the contestants or call at
the Sentinel office. Deposite your
votes in the boxes at the banks or at
Sentinel office. Blanks for secret
voting may be had from the contestants, or at the Sentinel office or at
the banks.
Tbe interest manifested by some of
the friends of the contestants and
number of votes that have been
placed to their credit during the past
week is certainly amazing.
LAST PUBLICATION OF VOTES.
This is the last time the standing
of 'the girls will be published. Look
it over and then act if you intend to
act at all.  Tbe piano will go to the

A GOOD SHOW.
The "Talk of The Town"
Local Talent Made a Hit.
by
A Pleasant Surprise,
On Monday evening November 14,
the friends and neighbors of Mr, and
Mis. McManaman gathered at, their
home at Rosebush to remind them
that they had been married thirty-
three years.
The evening was given over to
games, music and dancing. About
twelve o'clock supper was served
after whioh Mr. and Mrs. McManaman were presented witb presents
both numerous and costly. All
present report a fine time.
A large and well pleased audience
witnessed tbe musical sketch, "The
Talk of the Town," at Doherty opera
Monday evening, which was put on
by Cowan and Walker for'tbe O. E.
S. with local talent assuming the
various roles.
There was just enough of a story
to connect the several incidents,
chiefly musical. The music was
catchy, the costumes and make-ups
good, and the people well chosen for
the parts. The local hits were
appreciated.
Where all was so good it is difficult
to specify especial excellence. The
characters of the play were individually well sustained. From the demure and troubled school ma'am to
tbe village fool, all did well. The
"Gossips" were very gossipy and
caught the crowd. The "Society
People" were dainty missess and
manly young beaux. The "Village
Dancers" were light of foot and
pretty. The "SpearmintSKids" made
a hit; while "Bumps and Sally" were
excruciatingly funny. Miss Jo Terry
in Scotch songs and dances in highland costume was a dainty star.
Mr. Oowan and Miss Walker, who
staged and rehearsed the local players, are to be complimented on the
pleasing entertainment produced in
so brief a time. They made many
friends in Clare. The Eastern Stars
are to be congratulated on the nice
sum netted for the piano fund.   P.
MT. PLEASANT.
Interesting Newts Items from Mt.
Pleasant and Vicinity.
Mayor Deuel has issued a strong
proclamation relative to small pox.
A special police watches those who
come from infected districts. Many
have been vaccinated and many mor4
would have been but for an unreasonable stand taken by our physicians.
They raised the price of vaccination
to seventy-five cents. Whereas
several other cities are doing the
same service for fifty cents and less,
Their action has a tendency to prevent tbe very purpose of the authorities, namely, to practically prohibit
tbe poor classes with large families
from being vaccinated. True, tbe
health officer might do it and have
it charged to the city, but many refuse to become objects of public
charity and decline to have it done
at all. The health officer alone does
it* for fifty cents, the rest have the
unicn rate. There is quite a general
^ensure for their action in a time of
public danger.
The sugar beets are being hauled
in immense quantities. Owing to
the success of chicory this year,
beets will be raised for probably not
less than six dollars a ton and an
added percentage next year.
Mt; Pleasant has 1056 children of
school age. At ninty cents each
there will be $950.40 for distribution
to the city schools.
Will Carlton came on the lecture
course Nov. 21.. He pleased everybody. He is Michigan's poet and
is editor of a magazine called
"Everwhere."
Several went to Ann Arbor to see
Miohigan beat Minnesota 6 to 0.
Peter McFarland has moved into
the city from Vernon township. He is
the efficient secretary of the "Farmer's Mutual,"
Thanksgiving was appropriately
observed in the city. The city teachers generally stayed here during
vacation by request, y so as to incur
no danger from small pox.
The attorneys who were the guests
of C. W. Perry at Clare last week,
report a very delightful time at the
banquet and pronounce their brother
attorney as a prince of good fellows.
Long may he live.
Tbe democrats feel unusually good
over securing the sheriff and county
clerk.< One strong politician who
had voted for years in the second
ward buthad recently moved to the
first, forgot himself and voted in
the second ward before he or anybody else thought of the  mistake.
Miss Bertha Graham of this city
was the recipient of a splendid Ivers
and Pond piano,—a present from
her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph A. Graham, west of Rosebush.
