Clare lovers of the drama will have
opportunity tonight to see something
good. The Saginaw Courier Herald of
Tuesday had the following to say of
the company:
"Fabio Roman!," dramatized from
Marie Corelli's novel, "Vendetta,"
now being presented at the Jeffers,
was effectively put on Sunday and last
night by D. B. Lewis, "with Orrin T.
Burke in the title role, Robert G. Vig-
nola, as Guido Ferrari, and Teressa A.
Dale in the exacting part of Countess
_Tina. These parts were all most admirably filled, and the supporting company is acompetentone. FabioRomani
has stood the test of many years. It is
strong in plot and dialogue and of
thrilling interest. The costuming is
historically correct, and the scenic accessories thoroughly in keeping.

In Vernon, Wise and some other of
ther neighboring townships in Isabella
some people are trying to use the cash
valuation upon which assessments
were made for 1904 as an argument
against the present supervisors and
are busy now just before election.
But only Tuesday a prosperous Vernon farmer protesting against this iu
the Sentinel office, on being asked
for figures was forced to admit that
his taxes this year were 85 less (not
.. considering special drain tax of less
than $11) than last year before the
township was on a cash valuation
basis as ordered by the tax commission.

More Railroad Talk.
The prospective electric railroad,
says the Mt. Plearant Times, running
north and south through Mt Pleasant
of which Col. Boyntonis promoter "and
which was a lively subject a year ago,
is still a probability. The Colonel
has been busy at work during the
year, and has, according to his story,
accomplished mucn of importance.
He says he now has the whole route
surveyed and platted, and the right
of way secured over nearly the whole
length of the road.
He has interested the Knickerbocker Trust Co. of New York in the undertaking, which company have consented to act as trustee in a mortgage
Of $250,000. Mr. Boynton has issued
8250,000 of preferred stock and* proposes to give a mortgage on the whole
road for its security. He says he can
get this money when the cities along-
the route pay as agreed, and when
the donations are made work will be
commenced immediately.
A year ago Mt. Pleasant citizens
promised $2000 if work should be commenced here. S1100 of this amount
was paid, and it was to secure the re
maining $900 that the promoter made
his visit Tuesday. A meeting was
called in the' council rooms, and a committee appointed to solicit the remaining $900. The committee is composed of I. A. Fancher, F. H. Dodds,
N. J. Brown, A. S. Coutant and Arba
Z. Campbell.
The proposed road will run from
Grand Haven to Alpena, touching
Grand Rapids, Greenville, Edmore,
Winn, Mt. Pleasant, Clare, Gladwin
and West Branch. The first section
will be built from this place through
to Edmore, which the $250,000 Mr.
Boynton thinks will cover the cost of
construction. The road will be fitted
for steam first, to be succeeded by the
application of electric power.
Effort of Legislators to Cornpel
Public Schools to Display
"Old Glory."
Lansing, March 13, 1905,
Governor Warner, who arrived at
the state capital from his Washington trip last Wednesday, was one of
the speakers at tbe Ingham County
Chandler Olub banquet and spoke
most interestingly of a visit which he
made while at the national capital to
Miss Emily V. Mason, a sister to Ste*
vena T. Mason, the first governor of
the state of Miohigan, The governor
received the sister's consent to the removal ot the remains of Governor
Mason from their present resting
place in New York, and their burial
with appropriate honors, in Michigan
soil: and the legislature will be asked
to provide for such suitabe recognition of the claim that Michigan's
first governor established upon the
state whose maiden cruise he piloted.
One of the first official acts of the
governor upon his return was the approval of the dairy fl bill, which had
passed the senate by a unanimous,vote
precisely as it came from the house,
* * * *
Notwithstanding suggestions and
reports to the contrary, the people of
Michigan need have no fear that the
present legislature will adjourn without having put upon the statute books
of our state a practical primary election law—a law that will fulfill the
provisions made by the republican
platform and that will as nearly
meet the various requirements suggested In the demand tor such a ,law
as the necessary modifications and
compromises of legislation will permit. Governor Warner Is thoroughly
in earnest in his desire to mike good
the promises he personally made, and
when his plans have been carried out
Michigan will have a workable,
practical primary election law such as
Mr. Warner promised he would assist
in securing and one that will redeem
the pledges of his party's state platform,
* * * *
Of questionable wisdom, it not of
doubtful legality, is a bill passed by
thesenate withholding primary school
money from any district that neglects
to display the national flag upon its
school house. It was introduced by
Senator Linsley of Three Rivers, and
passed by a large majority. Any
reasonable Inducement or encouragement that can be offered for compliance with the flag law would be well
for the legislature to provide; but the
imposing of such a penalty as depriving a district of the moneys provided
oy the far sighted wisdom of the state
for the education of the children
seems like going ln,the wrong direction. It Is not less education that
such a district needs to bring it to
its senses, but more.

His Feet Ware Bally Frozen.
Hardwood Correspondent.
George Roea of Arthur township
after having reached Meredith from
Hardwood started out last week Monday to walk to Graves' mill near
Houghton Lake. But taking a road
that had not been traveled since the
deep snow, he got off the road and
completely lost his way. Wandering
around for many hours he finally concluded to retrace his tracks and succeeded in again reaching Meredith
Tuesday noon, both feet badly frozen.
He was brought to Clare and is now
receiving special treatment at the
hands of Drs. Gray at their home and
they expect to save his feet except
parts of the toes.
Mr. Roe insists that he did not
sleep except to nod just a little while
he rested, but it is possible that, becoming very weary trying to fight his
way through such deep snow, he fell
asleep thus making the' freezing of
the feet easy. It was a terrible experience. O

Lansing has been disturbed the past
week by the prospect of losing her
most popular preacher. Rev. J* B.
Silcox, who came to the pastorate of
Plymouth Congregational church from
Winnipeg less than a year ago, has a
call from a large church in Toronto,
which is very attractive to him because that was his former home aud is
the present home of his children, and
that was his native province and the
field ot his father's ministerial labors.
In the ten mouths of his service here
he has made a profound impression
upon the community, outside as well
as Inside of his own church, and his
departure would be widely lamented.
He is an old fashioned preacher with
aG old fashioned gospel. He believes
the Bible is the word of God, and that
Moses made no mistakes in his record. He thinks that Christians are
bound to seek first not "all these
things." but to permit them to be
added. He teaches that the final and
all inclusive command to the church
is, to "preach the gospel" in "all the
world," and that the churches which
obey that command are the churches
tnat will prosper in their home interests.^ and he feels that a churchj in
debt Is a church in disgrace. ' These
notions are quite antiauated and out
of date, and beside aU that he is more
than sixty years old; but in spite of
these drawbacks he has quadrupled
the popular collections, and so in*
creased the congregations that especially Sunday evenings, they fill the
large house from the front row to the
upper tier. Hcuton.

The Olare Furnace Oo. plant started
its foundry department last Friday,
the first heat forged belng_400 pounds.
Tbe foundry has a capacity ot 4000
pounds per hour: The machine shop
department has be*en In operation for
some time and is proving a great accomodation to all tne surrounding
country in having a first class coach inp
shop within easy reach.
The many friends of J. H. Wilson
and family will be glad to know that
they will not move to Big Rapids but
will remain in Olare. Mr, Wilson has
bought the entire interest of the firm
formerly known as Wilson & Sutherland and will continue the business at
the old stand In tne Wolsey block.
Many there are who are very much
pleased that John did miss, even
through so slight a misunderstanding,
closing the deal that would have taken
him to Big'Rapids.
That many of the men from Ohio
locating here are first class farmers
and -understand their (.business, few
Michigan farmers haVe we heard Express themselves to'the contrary.
Three years ago John D. Carey bought
the Farmer 80 acre farm, and at the
same time bought a brood sow. He
informed us that the offspring of .this
one animal since he has owned her has
brought him cash $562.40, besides
twelve hogs which he kept for his own
use, and figured at the same rate he
sold the others at would bring the total up to $666.40. John admits that
this sounds large, but he has the papers to prove hl3 assertion.
Another of the long series of disastrous fires vi3tted Coleman Wednesday night, destroying fourteen business places and one residence. Among

market, Commercial House, French's
millihery, Young's barber shop, Put-
man's drug store, Simon's branch
store, Young's harness shop, Bailey
shoe store, and J. E. Doher.y, hardware. This is the third time Mr.
Doherty has been burned out. It ts
claimed that the fire department was
able to do but little even thoucrh
since the last fire added facilities ha/1
been installed. The loss is a very
heavy one to our sister town.
The nation Is in a bad way * if there
Is no real home; If the man is nob a
good husband and father.1 It he is'
brutal or cowardly or selfish; if the
woman has lost her sense of duty, if
she has let her nature be twisted so
that she prefers a sterile pseudo-in-
tellectually to that great and beautiful development of character which
comes only to those whose- lives know
the fullness of duty done. No splen;
dor of material growth, will permanently avail any people unless its home
life is healthy, unless the average man
has honesty, courage, common sense
and decency, unless the average
woman is a good wife and a good
mother, aple and willing to bear and

Pavwell Cori'topondejit* At Olare county's only -village elec- tion Monday at Farwell 106 votes were cast, sixty straight on the citizens' ticket and twenty-eight union. The detailed vote, electing the entire citi- zens' ticket, was as fellows: President C. I. Maurer 72 38 J, L. Littletleld 3* Trustees R V. Howard 72 40 Thomas Mayes 32 George Campbell 71 38 O. M.

Pyers 36 Clare lovers of the drama will have opportunity tonight to see something good. The Saginaw Courier Herald of Tuesday had the following to say of the company: "Fabio Roman!" dramatized from Marie Corelli's novel, "Vendetta" now being presented at the Jeffers, was effectively put on Sunday and last night by D. B. Lewis, "with Orrin T. Burke in the title role, Robert G. Vig- nola, as Guido Ferrari, and Teressa A. Dale in the exacting part of Countess _Tina. These parts were all most admirably filled, and the supporting company is acompetentone. FabioRomani has stood the test of many years. It is strong in plot and dialogue and of thrilling interest. The costuming is historically correct, and the scenic accessories thoroughly in keeping. IDA In Vernon, Wise and some other of ther neighboring townships in Isabella some people are trying to use the cash valuation upon which assessments were made for 1904 as an argument against the present supervisors and are busy now just before election. But only Tuesday a prosperous Vernon farmer protesting against this iu the Sentinel office, on being asked for figures was forced to admit that his taxes this year were 85 less (not .. considering special drain tax of less than $11) than last year before the township was on a cash valuation basis as ordered by the tax commission. LANSING LETTER. Iipiliai Tuns The following are the dates of republican caucuses for a number of townships: GRANT. Town hall at two p. m. Friday, March 24th. HATTON. Town hall Monday, March 27th, at two p. m. ARTHUR. B&lsley school house Saturday, March 25th, at one p. m. VERNON. Town hall Saturday, March 25th, at one p. m. WISE. At Loomis Saturday, March 18th, at two p. m. GILMORE. Friday, March 24th, at two p. m. More Railroad Talk. The prospective electric railroad, says the Mt. Plearant Times, running north and south through Mt Pleasant of which Col. Boyntonis promoter "and which was a lively subject a year ago, is still a probability. The Colonel has been busy at work during the year, and has, according to his story, accomplished mucn of importance. He says he now has the whole route surveyed and platted, and the right of way secured over nearly the whole length of the road. He has interested the Knickerbocker Trust Co. of New York in the undertaking, which company have consented to act as trustee in a mortgage Of $250,000. Mr. Boynton has issued 8250,000 of preferred stock and* proposes to give a mortgage on the whole road for its security. He says he can get this money when the cities along- the route pay as agreed, and when the donations are made work will be commenced immediately. A year ago Mt. Pleasant citizens promised $2000 if work should be commenced here. S1100 of this amount was paid, and it was to secure the re maining $900 that the promoter made his visit Tuesday. A meeting was called in the' council rooms, and a committee appointed to solicit the remaining $900. The committee is composed of I. A. Fancher, F. H. Dodds, N. J. Brown, A. S. Coutant and Arba Z. Campbell. The proposed road will run from Grand Haven to Alpena, touching Grand Rapids, Greenville, Edmore, Winn, Mt. Pleasant, Clare, Gladwin and West Branch. The first section will be built from this place through to Edmore, which the $250,000 Mr. Boynton thinks will cover the cost of construction. The road will be fitted for steam first, to be succeeded by the application of electric power. Effort of Legislators to Cornpel Public Schools to Display "Old Glory." Lansing, March 13, 1905, Governor Warner, who arrived at the state capital from his Washington trip last Wednesday, was one of the speakers at tbe Ingham County Chandler Olub banquet and spoke most interestingly of a visit which he made while at the national capital to Miss Emily V. Mason, a sister to Ste* vena T. Mason, the first governor of the state of Miohigan, The governor received the sister's consent to the removal ot the remains of Governor Mason from their present resting place in New York, and their burial with appropriate honors, in Michigan soil: and the legislature will be asked to provide for such suitabe recognition of the claim that Michigan's first governor established upon the state whose maiden cruise he piloted. One of the first official acts of the governor upon his return was the approval of the dairy fl bill, which had passed the senate by a unanimous,vote precisely as it came from the house, * * * * Notwithstanding suggestions and reports to the contrary, the people of Michigan need have no fear that the present legislature will adjourn without having put upon the statute books of our state a practical primary election law—a law that will fulfill the provisions made by the republican platform and that will as nearly meet the various requirements suggested In the demand tor such a ,law as the necessary modifications and compromises of legislation will permit. Governor Warner Is thoroughly in earnest in his desire to mike good the promises he personally made, and when his plans have been carried out Michigan will have a workable, practical primary election law such as Mr. Warner promised he would assist in securing and one that will redeem the pledges of his party's state platform, * * * * Of questionable wisdom, it not of doubtful legality, is a bill passed by thesenate withholding primary school money from any district that neglects to display the national flag upon its school house. It was introduced by Senator Linsley of Three Rivers, and passed by a large majority. Any reasonable Inducement or encouragement that can be offered for compliance with the flag law would be well for the legislature to provide; but the imposing of such a penalty as depriving a district of the moneys provided oy the far sighted wisdom of the state for the education of the children seems like going ln,the wrong direction. It Is not less education that such a district needs to bring it to its senses, but more. * * * * Clara's Popular Aoeflonesr. Henry Orth, the auctioneer, has recovered from a serious illness and authorizes the Sentinel to announce that he is again ready for business. He has been a familiar figure at auction sales these years in all the surrounding country. It is a pleasure to listen to him conducting a sale and here's hoping he will go on many years more with the same success as in the pa st. . Bitot fir Craaio.

George Roea of Arthur township after having reached Meredith from Hardwood started out last week Monday to walk to Graves' mill near Houghton Lake. But taking a road that had not been traveled since the deep snow, he got off the road and completely lost his way. Wandering around for many hours he finally concluded to retrace his tracks and succeeded in again reaching Meredith Tuesday noon, both feet badly frozen. He was brought to Clare and is now receiving special treatment at the hands of Drs. Gray at their home and they expect to save his feet except parts of the toes. Mr. Roe insists that he did not sleep except to nod just a little while he rested, but it is possible that, becoming very weary trying to fight his way through such deep snow, he fell asleep thus making the' freezing of the feet easy. It was a terrible experience. O -I The annual meeting of the Ladles Union was held Friday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Converse, and a most enjoyable event it was. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President-Mrs. O. H. Sutherland. Vice-President—Mrs. F. Lamoreaux. Secretary—Mrs. Fred Smalley. * Treasurer—Mrs. James O'Connor. CM. Work Com.,—Mrs. N, Blclaaell. Lansing has been disturbed the past week by the prospect of losing her most popular preacher. Rev. J* B. Silcox, who came to the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational church from Winnipeg less than a year ago, has a call from a large church in Toronto, which is very attractive to him because that was his former home aud is the present home of his children, and that was his native province and the field ot his father's ministerial labors. In the ten mouths of his service here he has made a profound impression upon the community, outside as well as Inside of his own church, and his departure would be widely lamented. He is an old fashioned preacher with aG old fashioned gospel. He believes the Bible is the word of God, and that Moses made no mistakes in his record. He thinks that Christians are bound to seek first not "all these things." but to permit them to be added. He teaches that the final and all inclusive command to the church is, to "preach the gospel" in "all the world" and that the churches which obey that command are the churches tnat will prosper in their home interests.^ and he feels that a churchj in debt Is a church in disgrace. ' These notions are quite antiauated and out of date, and beside aU that he is more than sixty years old; but in spite of these drawbacks he has quadrupled the popular collections, and so in* creased the congregations that especially Sunday evenings, they fill the large house from the front row to the upper tier. Hcuton. Annual Tax Sales. The supplement in this Issue of the Sentinel contains the brder and petition for the sale of lauds delinquent for taxes fpr 1903 for the county of Olare. 14-5 Clare City Schools. * ELVA TATMAN, E'dljor.

On Tuesday, Mar. 21, fche Detroit Daily Journal will begin the publication 1n Its columns of "Graustark'* one of the .moat charming stories of the day. The principal characters are a strenpous, handsome young American and the princess of a quaint principality in Europe. "Graustark" was written by Geo. B'arr McOut- oheon, which s a sufficient guarantee that lb.ls full of stirring incidents. The Olare Furnace Oo. plant started its foundry department last Friday, the first heat forged belng_400 pounds. Tbe foundry has a capacity ot 4000 pounds per hour: The machine shop department has be*en In operation for some time and is proving a great accomodation to all tne surrounding country in having a first class coach inp shop within easy reach. The many friends of J. H. Wilson and family will be glad to know that they will not move to Big Rapids but will remain in Olare. Mr, Wilson has bought the entire interest of the firm formerly known as Wilson & Sutherland and will continue the business at the old stand In tne Wolsey block. Many there are who are very much pleased that John did miss, even through so slight a misunderstanding, closing the deal that would have taken him to Big'Rapids. That many of the men from Ohio locating here are first class farmers and -understand their (.business, few Michigan farmers haVe we heard Express themselves to'the contrary. Three years ago John D. Carey bought the Farmer 80 acre farm, and at the same time bought a brood sow. He informed us that the offspring of .this one animal since he has owned her has brought him cash $562.40, besides twelve hogs which he kept for his own use, and figured at the same rate he sold the others at would bring the total up to $666.40. John admits that this sounds large, but he has the papers to prove hl3 assertion. Another of the long series of disastrous fires vi3tted Coleman Wednesday night, destroying fourteen business places and one residence. Among the stores burned are Smith & "Coffee's saloon, Duell's bakery, Davis' meat market, Commercial House, French's millihery, Young's barber shop, Put- man's drug store, Simon's branch store, Young's harness shop, Bailey shoe store, and J. E. Doher.y, hardware. This is the third time Mr. Doherty has been burned out. It ts claimed that the fire department was able to do but little even thoucrh since the last fire added facilities ha/1 been installed. The loss is a very heavy one to our sister town. The nation Is in a bad way * if there Is no real home; If the man is nob a good husband and father.1 It he is' brutal or cowardly or selfish; if the woman has lost her sense of duty, if she has let her nature be twisted so that she prefers a sterile pseudo-in- tellectually to that great and beautiful development of character which comes only to those whose- lives know the fullness of duty done. No splen; dor of material growth, will permanently avail any people unless its home life is healthy, unless the average man has honesty, courage, common sense and decency, unless the average woman is a good wife and a good mother, aple and willing to bear and bring up healthy children.—Theodore Roosevelt.
