OUT OF COflffllSSIflfi,
The Engine at Kirkbride's Mill
. Badly Wrecked;
.Friday morning engineer Ohas.
Wood started up at the Clare Oity
Mills lor the day's run, everything apparently in good condition, when suddenly a crash came, and the mill
wheels rufused to' turn. The engine
room immediately filled with escaping
steam, but Mr. "Wood, groping his
way, closed the? valve, and when the
mists cleared away-made a survey to
find that the engine was almosta complete wreck.
The cam wheel, to which the piston
rod attaches, broke, letting loose the
end of the piston rod. The momentum of the drive wheel carried fche
shaft around, and when the broken
cam struok the end of the piston rod
it drove the cylinder head clear across
the room.  No one was injured.
Mr. Klrkbride is is not yet decided
whether to use steam power in tho future, or install a modern gasoline engine.
Install Powerful New Engine,
The big Bates Corliss engine for the i
Clare Electric Light Company's plant
has arrived and will be placed in posi-
tion as soon as the engineer comes
from the factory. It is loaded on two
flat cars. The fly wheel is fifteen feet
in diameter and weighs 13,000 pounds.
The cylinder is!8x36 inches and under
130 pound steam the engine develops
298 horse power.
To secure a solid foundation for the
engine a big hole was made in the
ground into which was built in one
solid mass fifteen cords of stone, forty-
one barrels of cement and twenty-one
cubic yards of sand.
It is expected that the engine will
be running within a short time and
thereafter there will be ample
power for electric lighting.
Upftiagrovs-Beokef.
At the Baptist parsonage Sunday
evening, Eev. J H. Lowe offldating,
were quietly united in marriage Miss
Jennie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Upthegrove of Vernon township,
and Wm, Becker of this city. The
newly wedded couple went at once to
their farm in Sheridan township,
which Mr. Becker bought of Henry
Orth last fall, where they will reside
in the future. Both have large circles of friends who unite with the
Sbntinran, scribes in wishing them a
happy and prosperous wedded life.

O'Connor, Mr.and Mrs. Fred Phillips.

EIGHTH GRADE EXAMINATION
The Department 'of Public  Instruction Sets the Date for
May 4th and Sth.
The state eighth grade examination
is now flrmly established and on a
sound, practical .basis. In every
county in the state it will be held
on the same days, will be in charge of
the members of the county board of
examiners, and this board will look
over all papers. An average standing
of eighty percent will pass with the
minimum in every subject-of seventy
percent.
Pupils who expect to write the
examination and have their papers
looked over by the county board, must
present certificates from their teacher
to the effect that they have pursued
the regular work of the rural eightn
grade according to the State Manual
and Course of Study at least six
months. These papers are looked over
by the county board of examiners at
county expense, and the board feels
that they should not look over papers
of pupils of the graded schools contrary
to the directions of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Graded
school pupils may write the examination, but ln no case will their papers
be looked over by the county board nor
will they receive diplomas.
Classes will be conducted at Clare,
Farwell, Harrison and probably one
other place ln the county, this to be
determined later, as the demand for
such makes necessary the appointment
of another place.
11 is not desirable that teachers attend the examination with their
pupils. Pupils should not be "coached", but should stand on their own
merits. Absolute honesty, fairness
and justice will be observed and followed in all cases. The tendency to
rush pupils through the grades and
out or school is one of the evils that
.the eighth grade diploma has engendered. The number of graduates is
not the best or highest test of our
schools. If tbe eighth grade diploma
does not stand for ability to think it
means little. A Olare county pupil
receiving one of these diplomas will be
perfectly able to enter any high school
and do the work satisfactorily.
The questions in reading will be
based on W_ Liter's Barefoot Boy.
! The commissioner is sending out
olanks for teachers to fill out. If the
teachers will give those prompt attention, there will be do occasion for
misunderstandings in aDy particular.
Pupils should be encouraged to attend
the examination, but should not be
led to believe the examinatioh a snap.
Address any inquiry regarding the ex-
imiaation to Com'r E. G. Welch,

Gmt Township Pioneer Gone.
At the ripe old age of eighty-six John
Evans, after an illness of only a few
days, last Saturday passed away at the
home of his daughter, Mrs Fred Hudson, of Grant. The funeral occured
Tuesday from there under the ministration bf Rev. G. W. Maxwell and interment was made at Cherry Grove,
Deceased was born in Arundel, England, in 1819. When seventeen he located near Toronto, Canada, and there
in 1848 married Miss Eliza Ann Love.
To that union were born nine children of whom six survive: Mrs. Henry
Bauch of Jackson, Mrs. Frank Willey
of Mesick, John S. of Harrietfca, Mrs.
Frarik Axford, Mrs. Fred Hudson and
Benjamin L., all of Grant township,
In 1818 he moved with his family to
Clare. Subsequently he purchased
eighty acres of land northwest of the
vjHage and set himself to the task of
hewing out a home from the hardwood
forest then surrounding Clare, and
through the yearse_perienced the privations, &}oag with the joys, of pioneer life, but he succeeded in carving
out of the then wilderness a fine farm
whereon he resided till a few years
sjgo when he became too feeble to do
h&rd work. IJis last years were spent
at the home of his daughter Mrs. Fred
Hudson.
To Whom This May Ccme&rn.

be Of interest to Clare people among
whom he lived for several years, then
local ticket agent for the Pere Marquette.
*'W. %.. Tasker, chief train dispatcher has been promoted to the position of
su perintendent of telegraph wi th headquarters at Detroit. Mr, Tasker has
been in the employ of the company
for over twenty years and has been
stationed at this point since October,
1903. His record, the officials said, is
one of the best and his promotion is
a deserved one.

principal points to good Sutter making." Many took part in the discussions and good points were brought
out. Dr. L. L Kelley gave an interesting talk on cream separators, G. O.
Leibrand glorified grange principles
and B. S. Alley of the Garfield grange
made some timely remarks.
Four new members were ushered
into the mysteries of the fifth decree

with supper at Mr. Hanes'.
In the evening a general program*
was in order. Towers and Rodabaugh
rendered selections on the grapha-
phone. The choir discoursed sweet
music and Dr. L. L. Kelley gave a
paper on''The Ideal Man" and Mrs.
M. W. Wheeler one on "Home Life."

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Seven-Year-Old Arthur Maxwell
Has a Perilous Mile Ride.
Last Saturday Arthur, phe young
son of Mr, and Mrs, W. J, Maxwell of
•Herrick, climbed into Hiram Spencer's empty wagon standing a short
distance from his home, but no sooner
had he gotten into it when the team
started off at a'mad gallop up the road.
The boy sat on the bottom of the wagon but could be seen bounding up
and down like a rubber ball. At the
corner the horses rushed madly on between the telephone pole and the
fence without overturning the wagon.
Half a mile further on the boy fell out
and was picked up by his father
slightly bruised but not much the
worse for the terrible ride, The team
was caught at E. L. Potter's and little
damage was found to wagon or horses.
The boy on being asked how he fell
out, said he didn't fall out, but jumped out Needless to say the fond parents are most grateful at so fortunate
an escape.
J. T. NORTHON IS THE MAN,
To officers and members of Clare
Tent No. 401, K. O. T. M. M.—I hereby acknowlege_ chat I received from
the Great Camp K. O. T. M. M., the
final payment on my beloved husband's endowment certificate in your
noble order, amounting to $600, tor
which I express to you my sincerest
thanks. About six years ago my husband was disabled with spinal trouble
and grew rapidly worse until he was
unable to preform any manual labor.
It was then that Clare Tent No. 401
procured for him a semi-annual payment on his endowment of 350 and
his assessments annulled for the remainder of bis life. That $50 every
six months Was most acceptable during bis Illness and now this $600 that
I received will save for myset f and
