•The system consists of a low pressure boiler with beatiner principally
made by two sets of pipes in each
room, water condensed in each set
of pipes being returned to the boiler
by a vacuum pump. The present
ventillating ducts will be utilized but
all of them in tne sohool attic are to
be collected into a shaft and carried
to the belfry for exit. Circulation of
air through the rooms is secured by
steam coils at the base of each foul
air shaft. The present gasoline engine and fan will be done away with.
The basement rooms with the compound vacuum system can be heated
with pipes lower than the level of
water in the boiler and hence will
not, as has been intimated, have to
be heated by radiators in the ceilings
of rooms.
With installing of tbis system and
proper sewerage and modern closet
system, the school will be splendidly
•equipped.

Showed Its   Power   but
Little Damage Done.
Everything,was serne on McEwan
street Monday evening though were
many sky gazers watching the rather
peculiar phenomena.    Suddenly   a
cloud of dust seemed to rise from the
south part of town and quickly there
followed a sound as of a loud explosion with timbers flying and a general,commotion in the block south of
Fourth street.   At the outBet everybody     started       to       hike       for
cover but the minature twister very
accomodatingly   took    an   upward
course just at the Jackson block and
was slightly felt at the east pari of
town and luckily didn't get too familar to any great extent.   The awning
rods on the Bicknell new store  were
badly bent, a big box of 400 pounds
picked up and carried a rod or two,
Gil Bouchey given a free ride of a
few yards   through    space slightly
scratching his leg by dropping him
too swiftly, a few buggy tops torn off
and Wm. Hildebrand, just' climbing
into his buggy, put down  and out
temporarily but no glass broken and
everybody is happy not to  have the
experience repeated.
The electric storms of the night
were indeed strange. After midnight
that night it * seemed that through
acres of space away to the southwest
there was a mass of electric flame.
Everybody would be happier if the
20 day drouth were broken here.
UNCLE SAM IN EARNEST.
LBFFIKGWBLL—MACKINNON
At Alma Monday occured the
marriage of Miss Hara:iet,.daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Lefflngwell of
this city, to Alexander, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. MeKinnon of Ver-
mon. Both joung people are well
known, she moving here from Mt.
Pleasant about a year and half ago
and he spending much of his life in
"Vernon and attending the city high
school, She has been an employe at
the Courier office and has won many
friends during her residence here.
Everybody has a good word for Alex.
jMr. and Mrs. MeKinnon went on a
trip to Lansing. Temporarily she
-will return to Olare-and he go on to
Detroit. The Sentinel voices the
congratulations of many friends.
JACKSON—SCHlaSGEL.
Late last Thursday evening Mr.
and Mrs- John A. Jaekson received
information of the marriage of theie
daughter, Miss Ethel, to Irvin Seh-
legel, the event oecuring at Windsor,
Ont.,, June 29, at a .time when the
bride was supposed to be on a visit
at Shepherd. The young couple
starting off from Clare on a visit to
his home at Belding left a letter in
ITnele Sam's care making the announcement.        »
Not a Few in This Vicinitj Have
Paid $10 Fines. .
Uncle Sam is after the violator of
mail regulations. Especially is he
after the fellow who sends packages
and puts a little note, inside or adds a
few words on the margin of paper or
in a package. Any writing in a
package makes it subject to first
class mail rates. Postmaster Kirkbride says there's been quite a clean
up for patrons of the Olare office,
fines'being Imposed and everybody
must -eome to time. Not1 a few
on the rural routes have violated the
regulations and have had packages
returned for correction. The wise
will heed the lesson and comply with
Uncle Sam's mail regulations • at
•once.
&
Mr. and Mrs. Sehlegel are well
known and highly -esteemed in Clare,
she being a Olare product, which
with gentle manners and musical accomplishments has made her a general favorite. As clerk at the Olare
Hardware Oo, he is wellx and favorably knowa. So far as can he gathered it was purely the romance of it
that'led to the unannounced wedding so far away. But they have each
received the blessing of both famalies
and their friends join the Sentinel in
wishing them unalloyod happiness.
HTJEEL-WOODS.
Lilian B, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Hubel of this city, and Bichard J. Woods of Harrison, were united in marriage afc tbe home ot 8. O.
David at Reed Oity, July 30, Bev. P.

tendeS by the hostess wore a beautiful Copenhagen blue travelling suit.
The host was best man. "Following
cottgratnlations a three course luncheon was served* Mr. and Mrs Woods
left next day on a trip to Detroit and
points in Ohio.
The bride is a successful dlare
county teacher with many friends in
the city and where her work has
been, a graduate of the city school
and kindly regarded by all. The
groom also has been a successful
"Olare county teacher, their friendship evidently starting when both
taught at Temple. He is a member
of the Olare county board of examiners and an all around genial fellow.
All who know how "Dick" has- kept
plugging ahead have a good word for
i^him. • He returns in September for a

GRANGE FOR CONSTITUTION.
Master George B.  Horton Talcing Decided Stand.
At a meeting of the executive committee of the state grange last week
Wednesday,-a resolution was introduced by George B. Horton of Emit
Eidge, master of the state grange,
favoring the adoption of the new
state constitution. Although a majority of the board members were iu
j favor of adopting the resolution, action was deferred until the next meeting, which will be held in Lansing,
August 11.
Chairman A. E. Palmer said that
throughout the state the members of
the grange are in favor of the new
constitution, but the action of the
executive board woub3 have a considerable influence on the way they
would vote.
The only opposition to the new constitution seems to emenate from the
Michigan Patron published at Adrian
which is a personal organ of J. W.
Helme. Helme is "agin" the constitution because he has a sore thumb
over his failure to secure election to
the constitutional convention which
framed it. Every political party except the prohibition party has endorsed it. While not perfect, it is a
great step in advance.—Ithaca Herald.
Eev. Leroy E.Husted of Ortonville,
our own Eoy of a few years ago, occupied the pulpit at the M, E. church
Sunday evening preaching most effectively to a large audience, made
up almost entirely of those who havtf
known the young man from" childhood. With splendid emphasis, good
voice, eloquent phrase, and logical
'thought, his most sanguine friends
more than had their expectations fulfilled. Knowing that he has "won
his spurs" by right down hard work
and sterling manhood they are not
slow in predicting for him a large
measure of influence and usefulness
in the methodist ministry in the years
to come. With present evident study
and application continued and developed almost any par!, of the great
field of the christian ministry, seems
open to this young man who grew Up
in our midst.
There is every indication that
Francis H. Dodds wiU win the nomination for congress afc the September
primaries by an overwhelming majority.
The county poor farm question to
be voted on at the September primary will have its influence in getting
out a big republican vote. In .the
democrat camp, however, «there isn't
much sign of anything doing.
Francis H. Dodds in (3ongcess will
worthily represent the district. The
Republican platform is his platform
and he will uphold President Taft in
the enforcement of Eepublican principle and policies. That's what the
people want,
Two years ago Darragh carried
Clare county by close to 200 over
Covell and 'Isabella by nearly 500.
Dodds is better regarded by the rank
and file of the t^o counties than
either of them. It is easy to figure
therefore that his majorities here
ought to be several times multiplied.
Eepublicans should study the list of
candidates for their respective counties and vote a ticket at the September primary that fhall distribute
candidates reasonably over the county. It would be a bad blow to the
party in the county and to direct
nominations to nominate too many
men from any one town or township,
Horatio S. Earle, of Detroit,
dropped off an Ann Arbor car yesterday afternoon and talked his gubernatorial candidacy to some 30 or more
at the union depot while the taain tarried for passengers. He handed a
few hot ones to both Bradley and
Warner dropping his characteristic
"by gum" phrase once at least. He
bad a man distributing the rest of the
speech in a circular with an Earle button attached.
To date there are in all fourteen Isabella candidates: three
for prosecutor, three for representative, two for register, two for clerk,
two forjudge of probate, one each
for sheriff and treasurer. The problem for the average Isabella stalwart
republican is to fix up a ticket giving
pro-per geographical distribution so
as to serve the best Interests of the
county and at the same time select
as strong a ticket as possible to get
votes.
Alfred O. Rowlader"- of Mt. Pleasant onr present county clerk, was in
Shepherd last Friday- In conversation with Rowlader, he informed us
that he hadxnad's no announcement
as yet of his candidacy foe renomination for clerk, however we inferred
from his talk that he is in the field
with the rest. Rowlader has* many
friends who are urging bis nomination, and it is safe to predict that
when the votes are counted his name
will not be found in the minority column!—Shepherd Republican;
B. S, Alley, a Garfield farmer, is the
latest announced candidate for Olare
county judge of probate. He is a
man of legal training, having' formerly been admitted to the bar in Indiana. He has served one year as
supervisor in his township. Associated in Grange work he is pretty well
known in most of the townships.
The another announced candidates
are Judge Gray, the present incumbent, formerly of Summerfleld, Ex-
Judge Oanfield of Harrison and O.
M. Sarringer of Surrey.
Olare county's republican candidates represent each of the four tiers of
townships, one from the north tier,
Gray; four from the second tier—
Morrissey, Quinn, Oanfield, Greeny
one from the third tier—Sunday;
five from the southern tier—Goodman, Johnson, Reading, Dwyer, Sarringer, Alley. Then there are three,
circuit court commissioner which has,
gone to W. H. Browne of Harrison
by mutual consent in the'-past and also two coroners, W. M. Temple has
been popular for this office and is
now a coroner. The other has us-
' ually gone to a Olare or Farwell physician. But out of this Jist of candidates a good ticket can be selected
that 'shall be representative of the
county and reasonably distributed
over the county.      *
WORK BEGUN ON RACE
TRACK, FAIR GROUND
F. H. 000DS AS HE IS.
Bi-County Asrlcultural Soeiery
Lets $1,800 Bomroct Job,»
Operations began Monday on the
grounds of the recently organized
agricultural and racing association.
D, Rice of Perry, an experienced
Contractor, has an $1,800 job of building a half mile track. This involves
the moving of about ,10,000 cubic
yards of dirt and will do much toward piacing the grounds in such
Condition as to fit them for the various purposes contemplated by the
Organization.
The site of the groands, only one-
half block east of main street at the
foot of Vernon hill, and touching the
soil of both Glare and Isabella counties, is most admirable while the
springy character of tbe land and the
loamy clay material available for top
dressing the track insures a very fast
mile course. Engineer White has
laid out the track which is to be
somewhat kite shaped. President D.
Ward is looking after the interests of
the association.
The infield is to be prepared for
base ball grounds and other purposes
as the association developes. Organized under state, law, the association
bye • laws prevent any person from
having more than one vote in selecting officers and directors. There is
already quite a large membership,
and it is expected that this will increase rapidly with actual operations
begun. President Ward, Treasurer
Goodman, Secretary Bennett or any
of the directors as previously published will be glad to enroll you m
the association.
A Sound, Kindly, Sensible, Scholarly, Benevolent, Statesmanlike Gentleman.
Not a Glad-Hand, Slobbering Politician.
The candidacy of Frank Dodds, the
congressional aspirant from bur
neighboring city of Mt, Pleasant, is
being most warmly^enfcertained by
tbe republicans of the eleventh district, says the Harrison Oleaver in an he knows the needs of
scholarly, benevolent, statesman-Ilka

five days of a«year. He is not a politician in any sense of the term but:
only a plain citizen whom the people
desire to "represent them in our n&-s
tional legislature afc Washington
From the day he began to "wield the
birch" in the-wilderness of the central part of'this district up to th©
present time, he has been a through
student of social, economic and political questions. He is unquestionably
an authority on them.    In addition

Another False Report.
And now it appears that the report
sent out from Traverse Oity ar-
nouneing Senator Wm. Alden Smith's
opposition to Frank Dodds was a
pure fake. Senator Smith says that
he never uttered the sentiments attributed to him. The claim bureau
of the opposition "evidently thinks it
can fool the people but it can't do it.
I SELL LANO EVERYWHERE.
During the dry spell fires are doing
much damage. But for the prompt
help given by Thomas McGivern, taking all his gang on the Grant new
road job, Surveyor Johnson's home
in East Grant would have been destroyed while.Mr. Johnson was absent. Twice Mr. McGivern Iwent to
the rescue and was glad to render
such help. ( Mr. Johnson is a pretty
thankful man for such practical
friendship.
