WATER WORKS SITE,
Banks of Tobacco River, City
Park or South Side of East
Third Street-Which?
The question of deciding where to
locate the new water works plant has
reached the acute stage and a decision
is expected forthwith. A majority of
the board ol public works favor either
the city park or east third street where
test wells have been put down. The
councilis quoted as being unanimous
for going to the riyer.
Reasons given by the board of works
for their opinion is to avoid all legal
complications, to get such water as
will be available for drinking purposes,
to save expense of running big main
sb fer and to have water works plant
right in the oity, one of the benefits
of which would be ato alarm in connection with the plant itself. It is also
suggested that the time is coming
when Olare will want to operate water
works and electric light plant jointly
ana* therefor water works should be
located now near the railroad. Besides it is urged that it will take all of
the bond proceeds to go to the river
leaving no money for a stand pipe,
which because of necessitating the
operating of gasoline engines the full
twenty-four hours every day would
bring the runn!ng expenses of water
works up to $2,500 or. $3,000 or more
per year.
Individual members of the council
urge that the people voted to go to
the river for water; that the supply
there is a softer, nicer water; that no
law suit is very probable if they do go
jbhere; that the railroads desire river
water and that in general people prefer to get river water even if it does
cost a little more.
Isabella Circuit Court,
Marked interest is shown in the
present session of the circuit court.
The notorious Mt. Pleasant cases are
being tried before Judge Dodds. The
courtroom is crowded at every session but women are modest enough to
keep away.
The five day trial of Mrs. M. Adell
Kimball charged with keeping a house
of ill fame resulted in a verdict of
guilty returned by the jury Saturday
afternoon. A number of witnesses
were called and the case was stubbornly contested throughout and it is likely that other suits will follow from
developments brought out by witnesses on the stand. During the trial the
jurors were under the closest supervil-
iance, and were kept in the court
house nearly all the time. It required four hours for them to reach a verdict. The first ballot, it is said, was
eight to four for conviction, but subsequently the four were won over for
conviction. The verdict gives general
satisfaction which is indicative of Mt.
Pieasant's desire to clean up what
was revealed when last March Pearl
Myers and Laura O'Brien were ordered sent to the school for girls at Adrian.
At the assembling of court Wednesday the case against Cyrus Loomis,
charged with statutory rape, was
taken up. This is a part of the revelations recently made, in connection
with Mt. Pleasant Kimball house 'of
ill fame and the two girls, alleged* to
be under sixteen, sent to the Adrain
school for girls. This case is still on
trial as we go to press. There are five
other similar cases on the calendar.
VernoHsaMla DIM?
A number of Vernon farmers desire
a ditch in section thirty-four, a half
mile of it to be Vernon and about one-
fOurth mile tn Isabella. It is claimed
to be a necessity to drain the land
through which it is desired —.'pass.
How there is a 200 foot plank road and
a tad sink hole as well. The ditch,
it Is claimed, would drain the road
along which passes rural free delivery
of mail while as the road now is it is
liable to be condemmed as unfit for
Uncle Sam to send his employees over
six days a Week.
Vernon wants the ditch bat at a
recent meeting of Isabella township
board it was decided to oppose ifc.
Therefore under the regulations adopted for Isabella eounty it is up to the
petitioners to appeal the matter to
the board of supervisors at the October session. It is hinted as possible,
however, that the question may find
its way intdcircnit court asking Judge
Dodds to issue a m&M&'hiUs to compel
Drain Commissioner JDldreS to pro
ceed with the ditch under the general
state law and setting aside the authority of the board of supervisors to
malft laws reg-latl-g drain constsnct-
Was Harrison's First Born Son
In the death of Harrison Calkins at
St. Johns last week Wednesday the
first baby boy bom in Harrison has
ended his earthly career. The young
man was the son of Mr, and Mrs. L. J,
Calkins to whom belong the* honor of
presenting both Clare and Harrison
with their first born sons. John Clare*
the first son, was born in Clare March
10th, l§71, and Harrison, the second
son, was born at Harrison April 9th,
1880.
The St. Johns Republican says in
part of young Harrison. Calkins:
"When ten years of age he came with
his parents to Bengal and later moved
with tbem to Benton Harbor. About
five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Calkins
with their family moved to this city
where the sons engaged with their
father in the grocery business. On
June 30,1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Adams, of this
City, who with • their little daughter^
Muriel, about a year old survives. He
also leaves liis parents, two sisters,
Mrs. Walter Smith, of Detroit, and
Mrs Simeon TenEyck, of this city,
three brothers, John Clare of Owosso,
Floyd and Archie, of this city. About
eight "weeks ago 'Mr. Calkins was
stricken with septic fever and later
pneumonia developed and for several
weeks his death had been expected.
His married life was a particularly
happy one and sympathy is extended
by his many friends to his bereaved
wife and other relatives.
J. W. Calkins of this city and B. E.
Calkins of Eosebush, uncles of the
young man, attended the funeral at
St. Johns last Friday at which there
were no less than 200 relatives. The
stores, even drug stores, of St. Johns
were closed during the burial service
and enormous quantities of beautiful
flowers also attested the esteem in
which he was held.
New School Laws,
Several"chances.have been made in
fche school laws by the present legislature, and more will doubtless be made
before the adjournment of that body.
Below we give a brief mention of several that will be of special interest to
those most interested in our public
school.
1. House bill 295 in regard to tbe
commissioners' act has passed both
houses and will be signed by the governor. Immediate effect.
2. Act No 3G Js in regard to fche
annual school meeting, which will be
held hereafter on fche second Monday
in July, and which changes the time
for taking of the school census, tbe
county commissioner having sent a
summary of this to all directors in the
County.
3. Act —"o. 16 amends the one mill
tax law, providing that it shall not be
assessed when the balance od hand in
the district equals or exceeds the
amount paid for teachers' wages.
4. Act No. 72 amends sections one
and three of original Act No. 164 giving fche sfcate superintendent control
of all County training classes, power
fco compel boards of education to observe the laws, to audit officers records and accounts of school districts,
to require all school districts to maintain the statutory period of school,
power fco request the, Governor to remove from office commissioners and
examiners who are not.qualified or
who are guilty of misconduct, neglect
Of duty or drunkenness. Immediate
effgct.
5. Act No. 99 in regard fco examinations was not given immediate ef
feet. In Olare counfcy the June examination had been' taken up, so this
year there will be no June examination, but next year tbere will be no
March examination, the June and
August examinations will be regular,
and the October examination will be
held as heretofore.
6. The compulsory attendance law
has passed the senate and the committee of the whole of the House.
Afc the close of this session of the
legislature the Sentinei. will give a
complete Summary of the changes recently made In the sohool law.
MAY PRIMARY MONEY.
Probability of Much Larger
Sums for. Next Year.
The primary money for May is sixty
cents per person of school age. The
regular November apportionment will
probably be overSS per pupil, Besides
this there is about five millions of dollars that will in all probability be paid
over to the state from the railroads if,
on the appeal of fche famous railroad
case to the supreme court, the State
wins as she has in the "CJ. S. district
court. This will mean from six to
eight dollars extra per pupil or the
payment to Clare county of over $20,-
000 in primary money and nearly $50,-
000 to Isabella county. This case, if
appealed, is expected to be heard by
the U. S. supreme court next October.
Thus by winning the case this money
will be available in 1906.
It is imperative that directors' annual reports reach the department of
public instruction according to the
regulations of that" department as
without these the districts forfeit
their share of primary money. Sum-
merfield in Clare county either because
of failure to send in the proper reports
in time or because the various schools
did not last year maintain school the
required five months, forfeits her
share of primary money again this
year.

Clare Gounty School Libraries
Under the constitutions and statutes, all moneys which are paid into
the office of the county treasurer, on
account of fines, penalties, forfeitures
and recognizances, are to be credited
to the library fund, and apportioned
and paid over by the treasurer to the
proper local officers, without any deduction for expenses, either attending
the collection of the particular sums
paid in or embracing the general criminal expenses of the county—[Board of
Education of Detroit v Treasurer of
Wayne county, 8 Mich., 382.]
Such is a decision of the supreme
court relative to money for libraries.
It is, therefore, wise that all school
districts in the county should organize into district libraries so as to secure their share of such money and to
get certain documents from the state
to which only properly organized district libraries are entitled. Only
eleven of the fifteen townships in the
county have any district libraries and
of these eleven not all the districts in
but two or three townships have all
fche districts organized. There are
only 2,488 children in the districts
thus organized while in the county
there are 4,096. The districts entitled
to their share of library funds are:
Arthur, districts one and two; Garfield, ...all districts; Grant, one fractional, three, four, five and six; Hamilton one, three and four; flatton, two
fractional, three and five; Hayes, two;
Bidding, one, two and three; Sheridan, one and three; Surrey, one; Win*
terfleld, two; Clare; Harrison. Frost,
Grant, Sheridan, Surrey and "Winter-
field ate credited with having townr
ship libraries.
The method of establishing a district library as provided in fche school
law is that''any school district by a
two-thirds vote at any annual meeting
may establishM district libi-aty."

100,000 POUNDS OF WOOL.
Big Clip from Clare and North-
erjj.Isabella Counties at
Fancy Prices. .
Three firms in Clare, Burch & "Wy-
man, "Wolsey & High and G, "W. Lee,
are dealing in wool this season. They
have'bought in Clare and Isabella over
70,000 pounds. At Rosebush Johnson
& Johnson and Cameron & Coyne are
in the wool business and have bought
in about 35,000 pounds. This does not
include what is sold from the two
counties at a number of other points.
Some of the big clips are: J. L, Littlefield 2,763 pounds, Surrey; P, D.
Brown 2,200, Grant; John Platten
1,145, Vernon, L. L. Kelley, 1,022, Sur-
rey; Marion JDain, Vernon, 766; Els-
worth Eldridge, Hamilton, 795; Arthur Long, Hamilton, 592; John Beagle, Vernon, 700; M. D. Clute, Sheridan, 710; J, H, Speer, 731; Peter Murphy, Sheridan, 584; AI. Gerow, Sheridan, 801; Cornwell Farm, Arthur 800.
Prices paid for this wool have varied
from twenty-six up to thirty four cents,
per pound, but for most of it farmers
have realized very close to thirty
cents per pound. Considering that
money values are not inflated as fchey
were, for example, during war times,
this season's prices are well up among
the best ever paid},.

Courtesy to Newspapers.
Courteous treatment is one of the
redeeming features of a large number
Of the American people.- The only
pity is fchafc we are nob all more courteous, and that all of us have nob developed more of this virtue. Newspaper
publishers, unfortunately for them,
are sometimes treated in the most.un-
courteous manner, and many times by
people from whom you would least expect such treatment. Every publisher wishes to extend the publication of
his periodical, but not one that we
know, can continue to send but his
paper to parties who never remit. To
us ifc seems a lack of honesty and courtesy for a subscriber owing from two
tn five dollars, to refuse ' bo take the
paper from the postoffice. 16 looks
very much as though he hadn'b the
moral courage to meet the publishers
and explain fchafc he is somewhat hard
pressed just at present and will pay
when he gets relief. Ifc would be not
so bad fco stop a paper this way if
there were no arrears, but even in
bhis case, it is far better to stop It at
the newspaper office, For the Sbn-
Tn_—, we wish to say that if it is not
worth the small fee of less than two
cents per week, we don't want to send
it to you, but if it is worth the price
charged, the subscription should be
paid .willingly and promptly.

ranged. The society requests donations of records and relics from every
source, aggreeing to carefully guard

marched to Cherry Grove to do honor
to the memory of our heroes of the

given at the opera house by I. A. Fancier of Mt, Pleasant who devoted
much of his address, a scholarly effort,
to a discussion of the problems confronting the American • people today.
The local theatrical season closed
Wednesday evening with the presentation of Sh&kspeare'g "Taming of

staring, This is the second Shaks-

Manager Goodman has presented a
number of good com.pauies during the
past season and is deserving of great
credit." Lovers of the drama are in
particular grateful for the "The Lady
of Lyons," *'Fabie Bomani" and "The
Taming of the Shrew'" as well as a
number of others that perhaps while
less classical were equally worthy of
cojnmendatiou in their presentation.

New Series; 7ol.l3,Ho. 28 ')Sf ... •< WATER WORKS SITE, Banks of Tobacco River, City Park or South Side of East Third Street-Which? The question of deciding where to locate the new water works plant has reached the acute stage and a decision is expected forthwith. A majority of the board ol public works favor either the city park or east third street where test wells have been put down. The councilis quoted as being unanimous for going to the riyer. Reasons given by the board of works for their opinion is to avoid all legal complications, to get such water as will be available for drinking purposes, to save expense of running big main sb fer and to have water works plant right in the oity, one of the benefits of which would be ato alarm in connection with the plant itself. It is also suggested that the time is coming when Olare will want to operate water works and electric light plant jointly ana* therefor water works should be located now near the railroad. Besides it is urged that it will take all of the bond proceeds to go to the river leaving no money for a stand pipe, which because of necessitating the operating of gasoline engines the full twenty-four hours every day would bring the runn!ng expenses of water works up to $2,500 or. $3,000 or more per year. Individual members of the council urge that the people voted to go to the river for water; that the supply there is a softer, nicer water; that no law suit is very probable if they do go jbhere; that the railroads desire river water and that in general people prefer to get river water even if it does cost a little more. Isabella Circuit Court, Marked interest is shown in the present session of the circuit court. The notorious Mt. Pleasant cases are being tried before Judge Dodds. The courtroom is crowded at every session but women are modest enough to keep away. The five day trial of Mrs. M. Adell Kimball charged with keeping a house of ill fame resulted in a verdict of guilty returned by the jury Saturday afternoon. A number of witnesses were called and the case was stubbornly contested throughout and it is likely that other suits will follow from developments brought out by witnesses on the stand. During the trial the jurors were under the closest supervil- iance, and were kept in the court house nearly all the time. It required four hours for them to reach a verdict. The first ballot, it is said, was eight to four for conviction, but subsequently the four were won over for conviction. The verdict gives general satisfaction which is indicative of Mt. Pieasant's desire to clean up what was revealed when last March Pearl Myers and Laura O'Brien were ordered sent to the school for girls at Adrian. At the assembling of court Wednesday the case against Cyrus Loomis, charged with statutory rape, was taken up. This is a part of the revelations recently made, in connection with Mt. Pleasant Kimball house 'of ill fame and the two girls, alleged* to be under sixteen, sent to the Adrain school for girls. This case is still on trial as we go to press. There are five other similar cases on the calendar. VernoHsaMla DIM? A number of Vernon farmers desire a ditch in section thirty-four, a half mile of it to be Vernon and about one- fOurth mile tn Isabella. It is claimed to be a necessity to drain the land through which it is desired —.'pass. How there is a 200 foot plank road and a tad sink hole as well. The ditch, it Is claimed, would drain the road along which passes rural free delivery of mail while as the road now is it is liable to be condemmed as unfit for Uncle Sam to send his employees over six days a Week. Vernon wants the ditch bat at a recent meeting of Isabella township board it was decided to oppose ifc. Therefore under the regulations adopted for Isabella eounty it is up to the petitioners to appeal the matter to the board of supervisors at the October session. It is hinted as possible, however, that the question may find its way intdcircnit court asking Judge Dodds to issue a m&M&'hiUs to compel Drain Commissioner JDldreS to pro ceed with the ditch under the general state law and setting aside the authority of the board of supervisors to malft laws reg-latl-g drain constsnct- Was Harrison's First Born Son In the death of Harrison Calkins at St. Johns last week Wednesday the first baby boy bom in Harrison has ended his earthly career. The young man was the son of Mr, and Mrs. L. J, Calkins to whom belong the* honor of presenting both Clare and Harrison with their first born sons. John Clare* the first son, was born in Clare March 10th, l§71, and Harrison, the second son, was born at Harrison April 9th, 1880. The St. Johns Republican says in part of young Harrison. Calkins: "When ten years of age he came with his parents to Bengal and later moved with tbem to Benton Harbor. About five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Calkins with their family moved to this city where the sons engaged with their father in the grocery business. On June 30,1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Adams, of this City, who with • their little daughter^ Muriel, about a year old survives. He also leaves liis parents, two sisters, Mrs. Walter Smith, of Detroit, and Mrs Simeon TenEyck, of this city, three brothers, John Clare of Owosso, Floyd and Archie, of this city. About eight "weeks ago 'Mr. Calkins was stricken with septic fever and later pneumonia developed and for several weeks his death had been expected. His married life was a particularly happy one and sympathy is extended by his many friends to his bereaved wife and other relatives. J. W. Calkins of this city and B. E. Calkins of Eosebush, uncles of the young man, attended the funeral at St. Johns last Friday at which there were no less than 200 relatives. The stores, even drug stores, of St. Johns were closed during the burial service and enormous quantities of beautiful flowers also attested the esteem in which he was held. New School Laws, Several"chances.have been made in fche school laws by the present legislature, and more will doubtless be made before the adjournment of that body. Below we give a brief mention of several that will be of special interest to those most interested in our public school. 1. House bill 295 in regard to tbe commissioners' act has passed both houses and will be signed by the governor. Immediate effect. 2. Act No 3G Js in regard to fche annual school meeting, which will be held hereafter on fche second Monday in July, and which changes the time for taking of the school census, tbe county commissioner having sent a summary of this to all directors in the County. 3. Act —"o. 16 amends the one mill tax law, providing that it shall not be assessed when the balance od hand in the district equals or exceeds the amount paid for teachers' wages. 4. Act No. 72 amends sections one and three of original Act No. 164 giving fche sfcate superintendent control of all County training classes, power fco compel boards of education to observe the laws, to audit officers records and accounts of school districts, to require all school districts to maintain the statutory period of school, power fco request the, Governor to remove from office commissioners and examiners who are not.qualified or who are guilty of misconduct, neglect Of duty or drunkenness. Immediate effgct. 5. Act No. 99 in regard fco examinations was not given immediate ef feet. In Olare counfcy the June examination had been' taken up, so this year there will be no June examination, but next year tbere will be no March examination, the June and August examinations will be regular, and the October examination will be held as heretofore. 6. The compulsory attendance law has passed the senate and the committee of the whole of the House. Afc the close of this session of the legislature the Sentinei. will give a complete Summary of the changes recently made In the sohool law. MAY PRIMARY MONEY. Probability of Much Larger Sums for. Next Year. The primary money for May is sixty cents per person of school age. The regular November apportionment will probably be overSS per pupil, Besides this there is about five millions of dollars that will in all probability be paid over to the state from the railroads if, on the appeal of fche famous railroad case to the supreme court, the State wins as she has in the "CJ. S. district court. This will mean from six to eight dollars extra per pupil or the payment to Clare county of over $20,- 000 in primary money and nearly $50,- 000 to Isabella county. This case, if appealed, is expected to be heard by the U. S. supreme court next October. Thus by winning the case this money will be available in 1906. It is imperative that directors' annual reports reach the department of public instruction according to the regulations of that" department as without these the districts forfeit their share of primary money. Sum- merfield in Clare county either because of failure to send in the proper reports in time or because the various schools did not last year maintain school the required five months, forfeits her share of primary money again this year.

Clare Gounty School Libraries Under the constitutions and statutes, all moneys which are paid into the office of the county treasurer, on account of fines, penalties, forfeitures and recognizances, are to be credited to the library fund, and apportioned and paid over by the treasurer to the proper local officers, without any deduction for expenses, either attending the collection of the particular sums paid in or embracing the general criminal expenses of the county—[Board of Education of Detroit v Treasurer of Wayne county, 8 Mich., 382.] Such is a decision of the supreme court relative to money for libraries. It is, therefore, wise that all school districts in the county should organize into district libraries so as to secure their share of such money and to get certain documents from the state to which only properly organized district libraries are entitled. Only eleven of the fifteen townships in the county have any district libraries and of these eleven not all the districts in but two or three townships have all fche districts organized. There are only 2,488 children in the districts thus organized while in the county there are 4,096. The districts entitled to their share of library funds are: Arthur, districts one and two; Garfield, ...all districts; Grant, one fractional, three, four, five and six; Hamilton one, three and four; flatton, two fractional, three and five; Hayes, two; Bidding, one, two and three; Sheridan, one and three; Surrey, one; Win* terfleld, two; Clare; Harrison. Frost, Grant, Sheridan, Surrey and "Winter- field ate credited with having townr ship libraries. The method of establishing a district library as provided in fche school law is that''any school district by a two-thirds vote at any annual meeting may establishM district libi-aty." FARWELL NEWS.

Big Clip from Clare and North- erjj.Isabella Counties at Fancy Prices. . Three firms in Clare, Burch & "Wy- man, "Wolsey & High and G, "W. Lee, are dealing in wool this season. They have'bought in Clare and Isabella over 70,000 pounds. At Rosebush Johnson & Johnson and Cameron & Coyne are in the wool business and have bought in about 35,000 pounds. This does not include what is sold from the two counties at a number of other points. Some of the big clips are: J. L, Littlefield 2,763 pounds, Surrey; P, D. Brown 2,200, Grant; John Platten 1,145, Vernon, L. L. Kelley, 1,022, Sur- rey; Marion JDain, Vernon, 766; Els- worth Eldridge, Hamilton, 795; Arthur Long, Hamilton, 592; John Beagle, Vernon, 700; M. D. Clute, Sheridan, 710; J, H, Speer, 731; Peter Murphy, Sheridan, 584; AI. Gerow, Sheridan, 801; Cornwell Farm, Arthur 800. Prices paid for this wool have varied from twenty-six up to thirty four cents, per pound, but for most of it farmers have realized very close to thirty cents per pound. Considering that money values are not inflated as fchey were, for example, during war times, this season's prices are well up among the best ever paid},. Here and There in Isabella. Mt.

Saturday noon while the agenti and.operator were at dinner, some one entered fche fcicl-t_offlce and pried open the strong box with the ticket punch, only to find the drawer empty.

Courtesy to Newspapers. Courteous treatment is one of the redeeming features of a large number Of the American people.- The only pity is fchafc we are nob all more courteous, and that all of us have nob developed more of this virtue. Newspaper publishers, unfortunately for them, are sometimes treated in the most.un- courteous manner, and many times by people from whom you would least expect such treatment. Every publisher wishes to extend the publication of his periodical, but not one that we know, can continue to send but his paper to parties who never remit. To us ifc seems a lack of honesty and courtesy for a subscriber owing from two tn five dollars, to refuse ' bo take the paper from the postoffice. 16 looks very much as though he hadn'b the moral courage to meet the publishers and explain fchafc he is somewhat hard pressed just at present and will pay when he gets relief. Ifc would be not so bad fco stop a paper this way if there were no arrears, but even in bhis case, it is far better to stop It at the newspaper office, For the Sbn- Tn_—, we wish to say that if it is not worth the small fee of less than two cents per week, we don't want to send it to you, but if it is worth the price charged, the subscription should be paid .willingly and promptly. L06AL BREVITIES. D. E. Alward, who was at Harrison over Sunday, where he delivered the baccalaureate address, is very enthusiastic ror the city park there. Lo- cabed on the banks of abeautiful lake, retaining all its natural beauties, now being given the care it deserves, Harrison may well be proud ot her cifcy park, Tuff Hampton of Sheridan met with a painful accident Monday. He was working at a small blacksmith's anvil, sharpening some heated drag teeth. He struck the tooth, which flew up, the hot point singing the corner of the left eye.

The 31st annual meeting of the Michigan Pioneer aud Historical society will,be held In Lansing, on Wednesday and Thursday, June 7bh and 8bh, Reduced hobels rates and car fare have been secured for the occasion.

Notwithstanding the fearful condition of the roads because of previous rains a big crowd participated in the Memorial Day exercises here Tuesday. The procession headed by the Clare city band With the ranks of the boys in blue growing thinner each year marched to Cherry Grove to do honor to the memory of our heroes of the rebellion. The Address of the day was given at the opera house by I. A. Fancier of Mt, Pleasant who devoted much of his address, a scholarly effort, to a discussion of the problems confronting the American • people today. The local theatrical season closed Wednesday evening with the presentation of Sh&kspeare'g "Taming of the Shrew" with Margaret Ralph staring, This is the second Shaks- pearean play given here in three years and the old master is still enjoyed. Manager Goodman has presented a number of good com.pauies during the past season and is deserving of great credit." Lovers of the drama are in particular grateful for the "The Lady of Lyons" *'Fabie Bomani" and "The Taming of the Shrew'" as well as a number of others that perhaps while less classical were equally worthy of cojnmendatiou in their presentation.
