KICKED BY A HORSE.
Irene Monroe of North  Isabella
Lies in a Precarious Condi-'
. tion.
North Isabella Correspondent.
Irene, the twelve year old daughter
of Mr, arid Mrs. Walter Monroe of
North Isabella, was playing in their
yard Monday when her hat blew over
the fence. "In going after it she
passed quite close to a colt in the.
field and the animal kicked her on
temple badly fracturing the bone.
Drs. Shaw and Johnson andDr, Kelley
of Farweli were called and operated
on the skull during the afternoon, removing five pieces of bone. The fate
of the young Rlrl now hangs in the
balance. Everything that can possibly be done is being done to Save her,
FARWELL CEMENT PLANT.
Indications Point to Its Completion in the near Future.
Various facts indicate tbe resumption of work in the completion or the
Farweli Portland Oement Compiny
plant. The buildiDgs are about completed andsauch of the machinery
installed but for two years capital has
been lacking and everything has been
at a stand still. Meanwhile those
most vitally interested have been
quietly hustling and some quite close
to the management now assert that
operations will resume in the not
distant future.
This means much for those who
for the development of Farweli have
invested so much money and all will
rejoice to see the plant completed and
in operation, *

DOHERTY'S SUCCESSOR.
Republicans   of  ' this    District
Name A, E, Carton of East
Tawas as Their Candidate*
for Senator.
Standish Mich, July 17.—At the republican 28th senatorial district convention held here to-day, A. E, Oar-
ton of East Tawas was nominated by
acclamation. .There was no other
candidate in the field.
JSTo action was taken in regard to
United States senator.
Resolutions were, adopted as" follows:
"Besolved, That we hereby endorse
and commend the administration of
the executive and administrative affairs of our national government under the leadership of our great president. And we do'hereby endorse and
commend the work of the congress
of the TJnitedStatesdurlng the session
just closed; and for its great work in
exacting legislation in the interest of
all the people of our beloved country;
also the prominent part of such work
taken by our honorable congressman.
"And-further, We do hereby recommend and'commend the affairs of the
slate of Michigan by the Republican
party in its businesslike conduct of
all of the affairs of this great state
in the interests of all the people, and
the part taken by the Hon. Alfred
J. Doherty therein.
"An,d we, as a convention, believing
thab the best interests of the people
are subserved by a strict adherence
to the prineip'es of the republican
party, we therefore pledge ourselves
to continue in the support and maintenance of said principles.''
Stirring addresses were made by Mr.
Carton, the nominee; Eep, McCarthy,
Senator Doherty, Prosecuting Attorney Harris of West Branch, and
others.
The nomination of Mr. Carton disposes of the doubt some may have had
of Senator Doherty's withdrawal from
candidacy for a fourth term. On the
contrary from the first Mr. Doherty
has had no intention to try for a
fourth term even thoughit has always
been evident that the district would
gladly have sent him back. He retires with a splendid record, a record
such that he more than any other man
has focused the eyes of the State upon the 28bh district. With the retirement of Mr. Doherty Clare will
cease to be the home of our state
senator, but Mr. Cirton, there is good
reason to believe, will not only be
elected but will be a worthy successor. *
FAMOUS   BACHELOR CLUB?
Pretty Maids and Cupid Wrecked Promising Institution at
Mt. Pleasant.
About  six   months   ago, says the
Mt.   Pleasanb   Courier,  a  bunch of
young men rented the home of Mrs.
Leaton, on Normal avenue, and began
house   keeping.     They    engaged   a
matron and assistant, and have been
iiving in clover.   Located on a street
much traveled  by the  young ladies
attending the Normal, they purchas.-
ed an ugly brute of a bull dog, evidently as a matter of protection, but it is
quite evident   ths animal has been
chained ab least part of the time, or
else has been left at home to guard
the house while the boys have individually rambled, as the following marriage  licenses   issued this week by
Couhty Olerk Bo wlader would indicate
The licenses   all bear the same date,

WHO FOR CONGRESS?
A. B. Darragh in the Lead for
Nomination at the September Primary.
At the September primary Olare
County republicans will vote on their
choice of nominees for congressman
for the llth district. Thus far pebi-
tions are being circulated for two candidates, A, B. Darragh of St. Louis,
and G. G. Govell of Traverse city.
The latter was a candidate two years
ago bub found ib wise bo withdraw before the convention met.
Hon. A. B. Darragh has served bhe
llbh district well for the past two
terms and every indication points to
his renominabion by a very large majority at the September primary.    It
HON. A. B. DAUBAGH.
wasathls suggestion that the republican congressional committee took the
step3 necessary to secure the nomination by direct vote in bhis district.
Some of his official acts for his
district are:
As a member of the important
committee on "Post Offices and Post
Boads"coupled with his wide acquaintance he has accomplished much in
securing exbenslon of rural free delivery. When Mr. Darragh took office
there were only nine rural routes in
bhe distrlcb. Now there are 199 and
every county that comes within bhe
law has or will have shortly complete
county delivery.
He has secured large appropriations
for the improvement of Charlevoix
harbor.
He has secured liberal appropriations for the Indian school at Mt.
Pleasanb.
It was due his efforts thab a fine
public building was secured for
Traverse" Oity, a storm warning
station erected on Beaver Island and
a cable built from St. James to Charlevoix.
He is one of bhe three old soldiers
in congress from Michigan and has
secured many pensions for deserving
soldiers.
Besb nf all Mr. Darragh has been
loyal bo the best interests of the
nation a,s a whole.
There seems to be no good reason
now why a change in our congressman
should be made. A man well acquainted by years of experience at Washington surely can serve the nation and
the people of his distrrct better than
some untried man.
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE?
Farweli Deep in the Question of
Rebuilding or Enlarging her
School.
For years Farweli has been confronted with the need of a larger and
better school "building. The rooms
are crowded and inconvenient. Accordingly at the annual school meeting the question was discussed at
length and finally a committee onsis-
bingofDr. L. L, Kelley, James Mc-
Mitchael, J. L Littlefield. 0- E. Bingham, J. J.-Saxton, was appointed bo
invesbigate the problem and reporb to
the district ab a meeting to be held
on the evening, July 30th. They are
asked bo reporb on the. proposition
whether It is better to enlarge, Veneer
and completely repair the present
building or build an entirely new
structure. The committee will visit
various school buildings and report
to the meeting their findings in point
of cosb and feasibility of various
plans. _ *
