This.   Senatorial   District   will
0 Elect Three Members in
September, Nomination
August   13.
A perusal of the newspapers of the
28th senatorial district does not
reveal any very large army of citizens
who are aspirants for the honor of
membership in *be Constitutional
Convention which will meet in October next. Nominations will be made
on August 13 and the election will be
held on the 17th day of September.
The republican convention for this
district is called to meet in Gladwin?
It is altogether probable that
Olare county will preseO the name
•of George J. Cummins of Harrison
for nomination as one of these delegates from this district. So far as we
can learn there is no other candidate
here and this fact will help to secure
Mr. Cummin's nomination atthecon-
vehtion. By* ability, experianoe and
acquaintance be is splendidly equipped for the place named and his
friends will confidently expect aim,
not only to wm the nomination and
election, but to make a fine record
as a Constitution builder.
The Clare county republican convention will be held at Harrison on
August 8th.
- ite IUJsIi. .-
At the age of "fifty-two at Gaylord
July 18th oocured the 'death of Mrs.
M. J. Ash who moved there from
Olare about two years ago, death resulting from creeping paralysis after
a short illness. The funeral was held
at Gaylord last Saturday.
Maggie Hanley-Ash was a native of
Lloyd Town, Ont, Growing to womanhood she became the wife .of M.
J. Ash and twenty years ago they
moved to Olare where they resided
tillnioving to Gaylord. Besides the
husband two sisters, survive at Gaylord and one in Ontario also one
brother at Gaylord.
Mr. Ash is in Clare this week closing up some''business matters and
much sympathy is expressed by
many friends in his loss of so faithful
-a sharer of all of life's Joys and sorrows through the past twenty years.

The supreme Court rules that Isabella township snail pay the Joliet
Bridge & Iron Co. for bridges put in

ditches.
Despite the evil omens of the
spring false prophets there is prospect that the county crop total will
be there just the same at the end of
the season.
Mt. Pleasant fain would muzzle
dogs for fear of rabbies but tlie supposed ordinance was found null and
void. The ordinance just passed will
not be effective till about Aug, 1st.
I. A, Fancher of Mt. Pleasant is
likely to be Isabella's republican
candidate for nomination to the constitutional convention. The other
two counties will each have one or
more.
Justice Fordyce of Mt. Pleasant
for some weeks afflicted with a diseased condition of the optic nerve
not long since lost the sight of one
eye and last week the sight of the
other leaving him totally blind.
They who before election in Vernon croaked about electing tried men
in case the bond matter come up and
then after election, when it did come
up, talked as if they thought the township ought to settle, now that the
officials show a good stiff backbone,
find it wise to keep still.
At a meeting of the State Board of
education this week Geo. Warner declared his intention to call a special
session of the legislature during the
fall to provide funds for the Oentral
Normal. In the intermin funds to
run the institution will be raised by
individual notes by the governor
and members of the board.
No action was taken last week by
the. state board auditors for the relief of the Central Normal from its
embarrassment in the loss of all its
appropriation for the Wo years now
begun. The board is empowered by
law to make necessary provision for
tbe relief of any state institution in
case of the emergency arising in a
recess o£ the legislature^ but this is
not such a case. As it now appears,
there are no funds* that can be used
for the; school, not even for payment
of salaries of teachers employed >in
session. Of course, it cannot'be
thought of that the institution shall
be closed or crippled, and if no other
way out of the dilemma is found, , a
special session of the, legislature
would doubtless be called soon.
That course is urged.upon the governor by the authorities of the school,
and he hag it under consideration.

various circles. He spent the forenoon with Glare friends^and was interviewed by secretary Oanfield of

CHURCH CORNER STONE.
Lutherans Will Inaugurate Work
Aboye Basement of Their
New Church with Fitting Services.
The Clare and vicinity Lutheran
parish have so far progressed with
the work on their new brick church
30x60 feet, that on Sunday at ten a.
m. sun time, the laying of the corner
stone will be formally consumated
with appropriate exercises. Two
sermons will be preached, one by
Rev. H. Lange .of Ludington in German and the other by Rev. Mr.
Waidlelich of Mayville in English.
To all of these exercises everybody
is invited*
When completed the new church
will be the finest in the city. That
such is the „ achievement of this
congregation made up largely of
farmers is asplendid tribute of loyalty
their cause and a striking lesson to the
other protestant denominations of
the city whose churches are at best
relatively far inferior to the better
clas£ of the city's homes, stores and
public buildings. ,        ^

The Point of View.

sawdust on an icy pavement may save
a big man's neck, while discovered
inside a dolly it will break a little
