COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT.
Pouliry Show 16 be One of the
■ Features of tjie Institute-
All Free.
Many Farmers within reach of Clare
have not always availed themselves of
the advantages of; the annual Farmers'
Institute but this year the program
given herewith is such an excellent
one that all our farmers should be
present The list-lof speakers contains
several of the best Michigan affords.
A new feature of the institute is to
be a poultry show. This is opt to be
a contest but breeders of the better
grades of poultry are invited to' bring
io a coop or two so that farmers may
have a chance to see, and to learn
more about the poultry industry that
is already an important* ope in this locality. Competent judges will be on
hand to look over the exhibit.
Great credit iq due to Secretary
Taft in providing the state speakers
and to the officers elected ,at the institute labt year who have the arrangements in charge—president, L. H.
Thompson of Sheridan; secretary,
Fred Hudson of Grant; treasurer,
John Northon of Vernon.

Improvements in* Various Townships During the Year 1904.
Fourth Article, -
GARFIELD TOWNSHIP.
To what was given last week we
gladly add the folowing kindly sent
us'by one of the hustling citizens of
the township. Development goes on
steadily. Improvements in highways
are marked. Farms and homes :are
marked Farms and homes are
springing up out of the wilderness
Thomas Maltby, M F Robinson, L.
D. Sillaway and others all help to
build up the. little village of Lake
while in the country we can boast oi
our enterprising set of farmers, all
making themsel ves comfortable homes
Among them are D Bryan's 160 acre
farm with good barn, house, windmill
and all modern conviences Mr.. Mason built a new frame barn last summer. Aden S .Retan h nai put in a^ tu b-
vl ir well, windmill and water system
to house and barn which with clearing and fences all helping to build up
with modern convenienceshis 120 acre
farm which he bought but a few years
atro John Neeper adjoining the Retan
farm is clearing up a swamp which
will be a big improvement, when; dit
ched, both to the highways and the
townshi p at large. Robert Carson has
clear- d and stumned quite an area
and added woven wire fence along the
road.
WISE.
'This township is prosperous Gen
eral improvements are in evidence.
No less than $1500 this year besides
ro*d labor, which at one-half of" one
percent of the total valuation of $300,-
000 amounts to $1500 ha.s been
raised for roads. The road
building h*s largely been in the southeast and along the last line $6,863.84
has been raised- this y^ar for the
Loomis drain and an equal amount
will be raised next year. It is expected another drain to come in from
Midland county will be laid out next
year But there is considerable 'feel-
in* in the township that the power of
the drain commi-si-n ought to be lim
ited. Wire fencing has been much in
evidence.
On section six W. R. Lansing has
erected a 36x48 barn and on the Vernon townline Peter Murphy one 40x-
60; E L. Potter, a stock shed; P. M.
Loomis, an addition to his residence,
while but'shortly before 1904 W R.
Lansing built a big frame barn, Wm.
vtaxweil an addition to-his home and
provided a -windmill forcing water by
tank to the house, also E. L Potter
and J. H. Lansing erected windmills.
On s ction five Mrs. Holmes erected
a frame barn.
Section seven, Mrs. Mary Hersey
built a poultry house and corn crib
and James Phillips has done much
toward completing his house commenced two years ago. Just proceeding '04 Chas. Armeotrout built a granary and poultry house, remodelled his
residence and added a lot of wire
fence to his farm; also W. J. Jennings
erected a wind mill
Section eighteen, James Hersey a
stock shed, chas Church a new .residence while nob long before Geo,. Hersey erected a wind mill. Mr. Gregory
a resiflence, Milo Lamphfere a frame
barn, Joseph Irvin remodelled■*his
honse and built a frame barn and Mr.
McJames a barn
- On ^eventeen, C A Allen a Residence, I G, Woten and E. -W. Allen
some wir- fencing and John Roe a lot
of land cleared. Just proceeding- E.
Carpenter and I G. Woten erected a
new frame house.
In the'south .part of the town&hip
many improvements *re in progress.
i t ■ —,—-;.
T, J. Dwyer Appointed
Stats Trespass Agent.
The appointment of TV S> Dwyer of
this city as state trespass agent insures a capable officer to this part of
ths state. There were other candidates from i.lare county but Mr.
Dwyersucceeded in landing the appointment from Gov. Warner Cases
still arise wherein the trespass agent
must enforce the arm of the law.
ISABELLA SUPERVISORS.
Year's Work Completed Satur\
dayMarked by Good Feeling Among Members of .
Board.
$7! ,000 for Drains Leads to Resolution
Asking Legislature to Limit Power
of Drain Commissioner.
Isabella's supervisors, elected last
spring, have been • in session three
times while some of them were summoned to meet at the court' house a-
fourth time incident to the work of
the state tax commission, but* withal
under the wise leadership of Ohair-
man^Mencrey of Wise the* utmost good
feeling has prevailed. The large
amount added to the valuation of
most of the townships, jto place it on
the basis of actual cash Valuation, led
many to believe that taxes would be;
high and supervisors had to be sub-!
jected to not a little criticism because
of the work of the tax commission
over which they had no control, but'
when tax time arrived people foundc
in many cases their taxes less than
last year. The valuation was higher
butt the rate was lower.
In some townships, however, taxes,
are high because of the large amounts
raised for special purposes. For example Wise spends in road work and
highway tax $3000 and raises- about
$7000 for drains. Likewise Vernon
r dses $2300 for drains. *
.The January meeting of the board
occupied all of last .week. Bonds for
county officers were accepted, the
treasurer's being placed ati $60,000.
An offer of $1800 was made to the
owner of the s. w. } of the s. e. i of
section twenty-eight as an addition
to the poor farm. The proprietor
wanted $2000. Whether he has accepted the offer, we have not learned.
One significant action by the board
was a resolution Urging the county's
representatives in the state legislature to have the law, relative to the
drain commissioner now applicable to,
Saginaw and St Joseph counties^ apply to Isab -Ha county. The purport
of the law in question is to bring
the drain comtnissioner in part under
the authority of the board of supervisors. In such a case before an expensive drain, like Loomis drain for
example, could be started the matter
vould be aired before that board. The
drain commissioner's report shows
$71,000 for drains during 1904.

Tatman home yesterday. Rev, J. H.
Lowe of the Baptist church preached

Porter Randall was a native of
Elmlra, N. Y., at the breaking out of
the civil war he joined the army and
was in a number of important engagements, Antetim, Pittsburg Landing,
etc., but escaped being wounded
through them all. In 1870 he came to
Clare and the following year home-
steaded on section fourteen in Grant
and the Randall school in that township was named from him. He engaged in lumbering and later farming
and in those earlier days was a man of
ability. In 1885 he moved to Clare
and was for a number of years sexton.
His wife died In 1888. Two grandchildren survive. During the last two
or three years he spent a portion of
his time at the Soldiers' Home where
occurred bis demise. He bravely
fought for the honor of his country's

Increase of R. F. D. Mail.
During the first quarter following.
the establishment of rural mail routes
one and two from Olare in September,
1903, there were 8 000 pieces of mail
delivered on the two routes. But dur?
ing the last quarter of 1904, we learn
from Postmaster Kirkbride, 91,322
pieces were delivered on the- five
routes going out of Clare. This means
that while during the first quarter of
rural free delivery there were only
4,000 pieces of mail for each route
during the last quarter the average
tor each route was 18,264. This is an
increase of more than four times the
first quarter's business, a wonderful
increase in a year and a half This
increase has largely been in periodicals
and papers and Indicates in a very
forceful way the development of our
farming communities.

GUILTY, WAS THE VERDICT.
Chas. Buell Convicted of Assault
With Intent, to Commit Rape.
Olher Circuit Court Cases Disposed of
This Week.
Circuit court convened at Harrison
Monday. The court room has been
crowded to hear the spicy details of
some of the testimony. Interest has
centered in the case against Charles
Buell, based on an alleged offence two
years.ago, brought at the instance of
the parents of three little girls. The
principal witnesses for the prosecution
were the three girls. O. W. Perry was
attorney for the defense. A number
of witnesses were called to testify as
to Mr. Buell's standing in Clare these
many years and Dr. Langan of Harrison gave expert testimony.. The evident sympathy of the crowd in the
court room was with Mr. Buell as it
has been in Clare.
After being out four hours the jury
at seven o'clock last night returned a
verdict of guilty of assault with Intent
to commit rape. Judge Dodds then
adjourned court till January I8th at
which time sentence will be passed.
The verdict comes as a great surprise
to all who have known Mr. Buell.
Charles' Dart of Harrison pleaded
guilty to a charge -of pferiury
and was paroled. *
Divorces granted were as follows:
Chas. I, Mauer of Farwell from hie
wife, Edna; Jamiroa Fuller from ber
husband, Geo. VV.; Herbert McGinnls
from his wife, Violet May; Violet
Watts from her husband and in less
than fifteen minutes the necessary
document was issued for her to marry
again.
The second trial of Burt McKerracher on a criminal charge resulted as
did the first, in a disagreement of the
jurytjand it.is said the vote stood
seveato five for conviction. C. W.
Perry was counsel for the defease.

To what was given last week we gladly add the folowing kindly sent us'by one of the hustling citizens of the township. Development goes on steadily. Improvements in highways are marked. Farms and homes :are marked Farms and homes are springing up out of the wilderness Thomas Maltby, M F Robinson, L. D. Sillaway and others all help to build up the. little village of Lake while in the country we can boast oi our enterprising set of farmers, all making themsel ves comfortable homes Among them are D Bryan's 160 acre farm with good barn, house, windmill and all modern conviences Mr.. Mason built a new frame barn last summer. Aden S .Retan h nai put in a^ tu b- vl ir well, windmill and water system to house and barn which with clearing and fences all helping to build up with modern convenienceshis 120 acre farm which he bought but a few years atro John Neeper adjoining the Retan farm is clearing up a swamp which will be a big improvement, when; dit ched, both to the highways and the townshi p at large. Robert Carson has clear- d and stumned quite an area and added woven wire fence along the road. WISE. 'This township is prosperous Gen eral improvements are in evidence. No less than $1500 this year besides ro*d labor, which at one-half of" one percent of the total valuation of $300,- 000 amounts to $1500 ha.s been raised for roads. The road building h*s largely been in the southeast and along the last line $6,863.84 has been raised- this y^ar for the Loomis drain and an equal amount will be raised next year. It is expected another drain to come in from Midland county will be laid out next year But there is considerable 'feel- in* in the township that the power of the drain commi-si-n ought to be lim ited. Wire fencing has been much in evidence. On section six W. R. Lansing has erected a 36x48 barn and on the Vernon townline Peter Murphy one 40x- 60; E L. Potter, a stock shed; P. M. Loomis, an addition to his residence, while but'shortly before 1904 W R. Lansing built a big frame barn, Wm. vtaxweil an addition to-his home and provided a -windmill forcing water by tank to the house, also E. L Potter and J. H. Lansing erected windmills. On s ction five Mrs. Holmes erected a frame barn. Section seven, Mrs. Mary Hersey built a poultry house and corn crib and James Phillips has done much toward completing his house commenced two years ago. Just proceeding '04 Chas. Armeotrout built a granary and poultry house, remodelled his residence and added a lot of wire fence to his farm; also W. J. Jennings erected a wind mill Section eighteen, James Hersey a stock shed, chas Church a new .residence while nob long before Geo,. Hersey erected a wind mill. Mr. Gregory a resiflence, Milo Lamphfere a frame barn, Joseph Irvin remodelled■*his honse and built a frame barn and Mr. McJames a barn - On ^eventeen, C A Allen a Residence, I G, Woten and E. -W. Allen some wir- fencing and John Roe a lot of land cleared. Just proceeding- E. Carpenter and I G. Woten erected a new frame house. In the'south .part of the town&hip many improvements *re in progress. i t ■ —,—-;. T, J. Dwyer Appointed Stats Trespass Agent. The appointment of TV S> Dwyer of this city as state trespass agent insures a capable officer to this part of ths state. There were other candidates from i.lare county but Mr. Dwyersucceeded in landing the appointment from Gov. Warner Cases still arise wherein the trespass agent must enforce the arm of the law. ISABELLA SUPERVISORS. Year's Work Completed Satur\ dayMarked by Good Feeling Among Members of . Board. $7! ,000 for Drains Leads to Resolution Asking Legislature to Limit Power of Drain Commissioner. Isabella's supervisors, elected last spring, have been • in session three times while some of them were summoned to meet at the court' house a- fourth time incident to the work of the state tax commission, but* withal under the wise leadership of Ohair- man^Mencrey of Wise the* utmost good feeling has prevailed. The large amount added to the valuation of most of the townships, jto place it on the basis of actual cash Valuation, led many to believe that taxes would be; high and supervisors had to be sub-! jected to not a little criticism because of the work of the tax commission over which they had no control, but' when tax time arrived people foundc in many cases their taxes less than last year. The valuation was higher butt the rate was lower. In some townships, however, taxes, are high because of the large amounts raised for special purposes. For example Wise spends in road work and highway tax $3000 and raises- about $7000 for drains. Likewise Vernon r dses $2300 for drains. * .The January meeting of the board occupied all of last .week. Bonds for county officers were accepted, the treasurer's being placed ati $60,000. An offer of $1800 was made to the owner of the s. w. } of the s. e. i of section twenty-eight as an addition to the poor farm. The proprietor wanted $2000. Whether he has accepted the offer, we have not learned. One significant action by the board was a resolution Urging the county's representatives in the state legislature to have the law, relative to the drain commissioner now applicable to, Saginaw and St Joseph counties^ apply to Isab -Ha county. The purport of the law in question is to bring the drain comtnissioner in part under the authority of the board of supervisors. In such a case before an expensive drain, like Loomis drain for example, could be started the matter vould be aired before that board. The drain commissioner's report shows $71,000 for drains during 1904. Republican Ward Caucuses.

Porter Randall was a native of Elmlra, N. Y., at the breaking out of the civil war he joined the army and was in a number of important engagements, Antetim, Pittsburg Landing, etc., but escaped being wounded through them all. In 1870 he came to Clare and the following year home- steaded on section fourteen in Grant and the Randall school in that township was named from him. He engaged in lumbering and later farming and in those earlier days was a man of ability. In 1885 he moved to Clare and was for a number of years sexton. His wife died In 1888. Two grandchildren survive. During the last two or three years he spent a portion of his time at the Soldiers' Home where occurred bis demise. He bravely fought for the honor of his country's Sag and gladly do- we honor to the memory of another of the heroes of the Rebellion. and Local Happenings. » anvi JL'i/vai a j.ajj JWJiiuig3. j Mrs. Amos W.

During the first quarter following. the establishment of rural mail routes one and two from Olare in September, 1903, there were 8 000 pieces of mail delivered on the two routes. But dur? ing the last quarter of 1904, we learn from Postmaster Kirkbride, 91,322 pieces were delivered on the- five routes going out of Clare. This means that while during the first quarter of rural free delivery there were only 4,000 pieces of mail for each route during the last quarter the average tor each route was 18,264. This is an increase of more than four times the first quarter's business, a wonderful increase in a year and a half This increase has largely been in periodicals and papers and Indicates in a very forceful way the development of our farming communities.

GUILTY, WAS THE VERDICT. Chas. Buell Convicted of Assault With Intent, to Commit Rape. Olher Circuit Court Cases Disposed of This Week. Circuit court convened at Harrison Monday. The court room has been crowded to hear the spicy details of some of the testimony. Interest has centered in the case against Charles Buell, based on an alleged offence two years.ago, brought at the instance of the parents of three little girls. The principal witnesses for the prosecution were the three girls. O. W. Perry was attorney for the defense. A number of witnesses were called to testify as to Mr. Buell's standing in Clare these many years and Dr. Langan of Harrison gave expert testimony.. The evident sympathy of the crowd in the court room was with Mr. Buell as it has been in Clare. After being out four hours the jury at seven o'clock last night returned a verdict of guilty of assault with Intent to commit rape. Judge Dodds then adjourned court till January I8th at which time sentence will be passed. The verdict comes as a great surprise to all who have known Mr. Buell.
