Union, Denslow of Sherman.
William Hodklnson,
The Angel of Death came suddenly
to another of Vernon's pioneers last
Thursday in the person of Wm. Hodklnson and in a few short hours his
earthly career was closed. He was
transacting business at the Citizens
Bank when suddenly he lost consciousness and would have fallen to the
floor bat-for the assistance of a bystander. Thesfcroke of apoplexy proved fatal and in three hours, being
taken home, expired never regaining
consciousness. The funeral occured
from the home Sunday, Rev. G. W.
Maxwell preaching the sermon, and a
long line of vehicles followed the remains to their last resting place beside his wife in Cherry Grove.
Wm. Hodkinson was born in Hew
York state nearly sixty-eight years
ago. Growing to manhood he moved
to Michigan* and located at Oxford.
During the war he served for the
cause of the Union and bore with him
to the grave marks of the rebel bullets. In 1871 he located on the old
homestead in Vernon and through
the years since has kept on devoting
himself to his farm. Marrying Marie
Graham he became the father of six
children, of whom these survive:
Walter and William of Buffalo, N. Y.,
Mrs. John Asline, Mrs. Lewis Hales,
Mrs, Chas. Dernln and John, of Vernon.
Thus pass away those who are directly conversant with the conditions
of pioneer days in our midst and soon
they will be only a memory.
Letters Most lie Addressed.
The postoffice department has suspended an order recently issued permitting mail matter to be addressed
to box numbers on mail routes. The
mail Order houses asked and received
permission to address mail to the box
numbers only. Merchants in the
smaller cities,, objected, that if fche
mail order houses were allowed to
make use of the box numbers in this
way the business of the local merchants would be injured, Rural carriers have now been instructed not to
deliver mail matter addressed to box
nttmber& only. All mail muist bear the

Why Journey to Foreign Lands?
The vast sums spent by Americans
tourlnj- foreign countries suggests to
the uninformed that.Amerlca Is comparatively barren of what is worth
while, to the tourist. But the facts
are otherwise and, being prlveleged to
read the diary of a tourist through
picturesque America, we make
some quotations therefrom as clearly
showing the beauties of Uncle Sam's
dominions The author is Richard
Tredinnick, Marsh field, Wis., an Englishman by birch who has twice crossed the Atlantic. He was one of
twenty-four who in a special car travelled 7,000 miles this summer through
the west:
At two we entered the royal gorge
of the grand canon of the Arkansas
river. This is one of natures gateways across the great continental divide and one may well say, "My kingdom for the pen of a ready writer."
The gorge at its entrance is just wide
enough for the railroad track and the
Arkansas river runninc parallel. The
walls on either side are perpendicular
or overhanging so much that in some
places they seem almost to com3 Sto
gether at the top, which at one place
is 2627 feet above. At one point the
river occupies the entire width of the
gorge and the track is suspended from
an inverted a shaped frame work supported above the river by notches cut
in the rock.
Each day discloses a scene surpassing in grandeur the one before. Some
places there are rocks overhead that
look as if a touch with an umbrella
would push th'em over yet they tell us
that if we were up there we would
know that four men couldn't move
them. On up the mountains paralleling the track we go with the river and
mountains growing less and soon we
notice "ohe water running westward
and we know we are on the Pacific
slope.
At Salt Lake in Utah nearly all of
our crowd took a dip in the lake and
were surprised to And it quite warm.
You cannot drown In It for you cannot sink. You can lay on your back,
face or side but you cannot get under
water and the mobt difficult thing after swimming a while is to get your
feet on the ground and body in an upright position. To me such a bath
was most exhilarating.
But on we go again bounding over
the prairies of Nevada. What a wild
desolate waste! For miles and miles
and more miles not a sign of a house
or human being or living creature,
nothing but an arid waste alkali, cactus and sage bush But the contrast!
for on again into tbe mountains we go
and on awakening next morning the
first thing that catches my eye is an
orange grove for we are in the Golden
State.
After attending prayer meeting at
one of the principal churches where a
minister friend is the pastor, he accompanied me through San Francisco's China town and then on a little
farther down if that is possible. Hired
a guide for $2 and he took us through
hell or a part ot it. We visited the
chop restaurants, the Joss houses and
opium dens bub Che China gambling
hells we didn't see as they were recently ordered' closed, and sight seers
can't get into those ".undergrounds."
San Francisco bay is the most beautiful piece of water and land surroundings I ever saw.
Thirty-six hours ride took us to
Portland from Frisco and then on to
Tacoma.
We had a splendid trip on Puget
Sound with a fine view of Mt, Tacoma
with its snow white summit, 14,500 ft.
in the air. It stands there all alone,
seemingly rising out of the plains.
After dinner we embarked on the
stage coach for a six days' ride of 270
miles through Yellowstone JPark. No
brains allowed. A sixteen mile drive
behind four white horses brings us to
the first camp where we put up for tbe
night. Then follows an enumeration
of boiling springs, spouting geysers,
cliffs, glass rocks, smoking mountains,
beautiful cascades, paint springs, curious grottoes, creeks, rivers and lakes,
that seem a)most.£ncredible. At one
place he says, "After looking into the
crater a while it makes it easier for
the sceptic to believe in a literal hell."
At another, "After it ceased spouting
I reached over the geyser too far and
pretty nearly got my face burned by
the boiling, foaming water." -'There
are about 1500 tourists in the park."
He ends the trip through Yellowstone
Park saying, "It surpasses by a thousand times Niagara Falls or anything
else 1 have yet seen,"
My 7000 mile trip of thirty days has
taken us through fifteen states of this
greatabd glorious cottatry over the
finest route, or would have been if the
Canadian Rockies were Included, that
can be planned on the American con*
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.
Mrs. Margaret Switzer of Leaton
Must Answer to the Charge
in Circuit Court.
Mrs. Margaret Switzer of Leaton
charged with the murder of her husband, John, September 20th waived
examination. Monday before Justice
Lovelandof6Mt. Pleasant and was
bound over for trial at the next term
of circuit court.
Mrs. Switzer is fastidious as to her
personal appearance and dresses extravagantly. She has had a number
of things taken from her home at Leaton to the county jail and now her
cell is fitted up quite cOrafortablj.
She sleeps well and eats well but has
preceptibly aged since the tragedy.
But she is extremely selfish. When
taken to Leaton to take a last look at
the body of the man she murdered,
she calmly turned from the casket to
ask for his books saying, ''1 want to
have all his accounts collected."
Dr. I. L. Polozker of Detroit with
many others hold that the woman is
insane. He says, "While Switzer was
a student at the Detroit College of
Medicine, he lived across the street,
from me. The woman was always in
torture from jealousy—always afraid
Switzer would run off with someone.
It really became a monomania with
her. I remember the night of his
uraduation, when of course none of
the tnyseame home particularly early,
she came over to my house at 1 o'clock
in the morning, demanding to know
where he was. The woman was in a
furious rage and could not be reasoned
with. I can understand how her temper and her jealousy might lead to
homicide."
The Switzers' domestic trouble is a
story of incompatible marriage. She
was fifteen years his senior, far from
attractive, as well as reputed to have
violent temper, but she possessed $4,-
000. He was a carriage body trimmer,
a widower with ambitions, but no
money. His wages were $10 per week.
In an affidavit made by her in answer
to his bill for divorce, which he filed
after the $4,000 was all spent she said
she had paid many of his debts before
they were married. Among these, it
is alleged, was part of the funeral expenses of his former wife. She also
says, showing that he lived beyond his
means, that his wages were attached
before marriage and she paid the
court fees. She claims that in February 1898, Switzer induced her to stake
him with $1000 to go after gold in the
Klondike. He returned broke. He
wanted to be a doctor and she sent
him to the Detroit College of Medicine. During this time she says she
kept roomers and boarders bo help pay
his expenses. He graduated in 1903.
They went to Ford, Mich., but she became very jealous and made life pretty
hard for him. He begun proceedings
for divorce and she came to this city
to live at the Crystal house. The divorce proceedings were dropped last
April. In the cross bill she claimed
he was addicted to drink, and abused
her terribly.
Such domestic troubles as the above
make evident the cause of the fatal
shooting affray and cast some light
upon the peculiar character of the
woman now in custody of Sheriff Bailey at Mt. Pleasant.
Hezekiati Hendrie,
On Wednesday the 4th day of October 1905, in the township of Vernon,
Hezekiah Hendrie was found dead in
his garden where he had been husking corn. He ate a hearty breakfast
and was not feeling ill in any way but
about nine o'clock his wife found him
lying on his face and the spark of life
had fled. Heart trouble was the
cause.
Deceased was born in England about
seventy- six years ago. At the age of
four he was brought over to Canada
where he resided until- one and one-
half years ago when he moved to
Michigan on the place where he died,
He married Rachel Wilson forty-six
years ago. To this happy union were
born five children, four of whom are
left to mourn his loss: Mrs. Sarah
Hagle Of Turner, Joseph W,, of Vernon, George W., of Sheffield, Canada,
James„B. at home. These with the
wife mourn the loss of a good father
and a beloved husband, also a niece
Miss Sarah Brown of Brantford, Canada and five grandchildren.
Mr. Hendrie was loved and respected by all who came in contact) with
him* He was industrious and took a
great interest ih his home and.family.
He was a member of the [English
church. The funeral, which was very
large, was conducted on Friday by
'ftew T. P. Bennett;, pastoK of the M,

afternoon program

these columns last week, Mr, and

Clark. It .consisted of lots of good
music by a ladies' and a male quartette with vocal solos and recitations,
A, R. Canfield and Philip A. Bennett

The hospitality of the Garfield
grange and their evident activity
speaks well for the future of the
grange in the southwest of the county.

Alley and Lecture W, M. Clark two
granges have been added to the county's total, bringing it up to thirteen,
one at Windover Lake in Lincoln and

first Friday in January.
Rama Cour in the Navy,
Seventeen year old Rama Cour of
this city who recently joined Uncle
Sam's navy is located at New Port, R.
I. From his letters to his parents we
gleam a number of interesting facts:
From Ludington I went to Detroit
then to Cincinnati and then on here
in a special car. There are 3500 boys
here in training for the navy and
some of them are pretty tough. We
are not permitted to smoke cigarettes
or chew but we get a smoke three
times a day. At first I didn't go on
the boat and greatly enjoyed rifle
practice on land. On the boat I got
sick at first bub am alright now. We
have t,o wash and mend our own
clothes. We sleep each of us in a hammock and have no pillow and only one
blanket, but it's a dandy. We are
compelled to go to church and it's my
own church too. Besides we have to
go to school several hours a day.
This week I am cook for the fif by-
one prisoners. Some of them are in
irons and kept on bread and water,
which to me seems a pretty tough
proposition. But thus far Iv'e not
had any cross words from any of my
officers and I don't Intend to.
Tomorrow I go on liberty for several
hours but I can't help thinking of home
and Clare. A little below here are
large battle ships and many torpedo boats here all the time. President
Roosevelt was here last week and the
sailors had to march for him. There
is here an old square riggid sailing ves
sel, the oldest in the United States.
It is 108 years old and carried forty,
eight guns. The mast pole is 185 feet
high and we go clear to the top to
furl sail. But I must stop for I have
to wash dishes
Dual Life. '
Ever since tbe famous story of dual
life, "Dr. Jekyell and Mr. Hyde," was
written much interest has there been
in this style of story as well as in
watching records of dual life among
people. Interest in this kind of story
has been marked In recent months and
a number of magazines have published
such stories The Smntinbl's continued story, "The Missing Man" is
based on dual life and is causing much
interest among our readers. The Cosmopolitan last month completed a
story Of similar character but lacking in merit cqmpared with the one
written by Mary R, P. Hatch. ,
Miss Sadie Wilson of Harrison will
be at Mrs" D, 1. Alwafd's Saturday,
October 14th. AH who desire to see
bei- about music, lessons can see her
there.
SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE,
Eighty-eight Enrolled at the Three
Day Gathering of Teachers at Farwell.
The three day inspiration institute
at Farwell Sept. 5-7 was in attendance
and success one of the best ever held
in the county. Nearly every one now
teaching in the county was present,
and the instructors, Prof. S. B. Laird
of the Normal College of Ypsilanti
and Miss Florence Fox of Bay City, did
splendid work. The former emphasized more parbicularly good citizenship and the teaching of it in schools
while the latter laid emphasis onman
ual training. Each gave a lecture,
Miss Fox Thursday evening and Mr.
Laird Friday evening, on popular subjects Miss Elizabeth Bingham contributed to the pleasure of the evening's program with excellent vocal solos.
It was a valuable three days to the
teachers of the county and its influence for good will be felt in the
schools.
Scbug-SMer.-
At the horpe of Mr. and Mrs. Julius
Schug at Stevenson Lake at eight
o'clock last evening their daughter,
Miss Lena, and J, W. Schaeffer, eldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schaeffer
of Grant, were united in the bonds of
holy matrimony in the presence of immediate relatives, including a great
aunt of the groom, Mrs. S. Meister
of Whitehouse, Ohio, and a few
friends, Rev, Henry Lange of Ludington Officiating,
The bride was charmingly gowned
in pea green silk and attended by Miss
Matilda Lange while the groom's
brother, Rudolph, was best man.
Both young people are products of the
country here and are highly regarded
for their real worth. She is popular
among a large circle of friends and for
thelast year has been employed at
the Forward millinery parlors in Clare
while he is a prosperous, progressive
young farmer.
Following the ceremony a wedding
supper was served. Many presents
show the. good will of the givers for a
future of happiness and prosperity.
Mr. and Mrs. Schaeffer will reside
with his parents in Grant for the winter but expect to build a home for
themselves next summer.
Draining-Northeast Sderidan;
Hermansdale Correspondent.
The drain running through section
eleven and between sections thirteen
and fourteen, known as the McGivern
drain, is being vigorously pushed at
the present time. This drain was let
about four years ago but. on account
of wet seasons it has progressed very
slowly. L. H. Thompson is putting
in a culvert where the drain crosses
the highway and two gangs of men
are working in the ditch, one on the
main line and one on its tributary.
The tributary follows the highway
about eighty rods and it promises to
be a big benefit to the highway. This
drain was let in small jobs of about
eighty rods each of which five are al
most completed, giving the rest of the
work upstream a good outlet.
This ditch will undoubtedly greatly
improve a large area of the township's
best land and if there was a little
more of this kind of work done it
would bring the township to the
front much faster.
Edna Jackson.
Edna, the three year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson of Dover died Saturday of cholera infantum.
The funeral occured Monday from the
Dover church in charge of Rev. Mr.
Bell of Farwell and interment was

THE Bstablislied 1878. CLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, L905. New Series: Vol, 13, No. 47 UPERVISORS IN SESSION. M m Clare and Isabella County Sol* ons Appoint a Number of Important Officers. CLARE COUNTY The board ot supervisors convened at Harrison Monday and expect to complete tneir work this week. The proposition to divide Lincoln into two townships was defeated, not a single supervisor voting in favor of £6. The question of salaries for the county treasurer and county school commissioner is under cousideration as provided by a law passed by the 1905 legislature. The department of public instruction is authority for the statement that the duties of thelast named officer are doubled by the legislative acts of 1905. The following appointments were made: Member of board of examiners to succeed himself—J. R. Brown of Harrison, County drain commissioner to succeed George Shunk—P7m. Ounlng- liam of Hatton. Member of the poor commission to succeed himself—John Fleming of Winterfleld. County printer to succeed A, H. Aldrich—A. R. Oauaeld of Clare. The important committee on equalization is Hale of Winterfleld, Wright of Haye*, Seamen of Greenwood, Oar- son of Garfield, Lacy of Glare. Supervisor Kelley of Farwell is present but in a very feeble state of health. ISBABLLA COUNTy, The county colons met for the October session at Mt. Pleasant Monday, Next week will be required to finish the work. The following appointments have been made: County examiners—Augustus Lynch of Vernon, two years; F. E. Morrison of Wise, one year. County drain commissioner to sue ceed S. D. Eldrad—Clarence Freeman of Gilmore. Member of poor commission to succeed himself—Ohas. Cassady of Mt. Pleasant. The question of salary of county school commltfsioner has not yet been reached. Two important committees are: .Equalization—Schooley of Lincoln, Thorp of Denver, Struble of Chippewa Hummel of Broomfleld, Haskins of Coldwater. Claims—Hathaway of Deerfleid, Lamoreaux of- Vernon, Sampson of Mt. Pleasant, Gaughlln of Union, Denslow of Sherman. William Hodklnson, The Angel of Death came suddenly to another of Vernon's pioneers last Thursday in the person of Wm. Hodklnson and in a few short hours his earthly career was closed. He was transacting business at the Citizens Bank when suddenly he lost consciousness and would have fallen to the floor bat-for the assistance of a bystander. Thesfcroke of apoplexy proved fatal and in three hours, being taken home, expired never regaining consciousness. The funeral occured from the home Sunday, Rev. G. W. Maxwell preaching the sermon, and a long line of vehicles followed the remains to their last resting place beside his wife in Cherry Grove. Wm. Hodkinson was born in Hew York state nearly sixty-eight years ago. Growing to manhood he moved to Michigan* and located at Oxford. During the war he served for the cause of the Union and bore with him to the grave marks of the rebel bullets. In 1871 he located on the old homestead in Vernon and through the years since has kept on devoting himself to his farm. Marrying Marie Graham he became the father of six children, of whom these survive: Walter and William of Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. John Asline, Mrs. Lewis Hales, Mrs, Chas. Dernln and John, of Vernon. Thus pass away those who are directly conversant with the conditions of pioneer days in our midst and soon they will be only a memory. Letters Most lie Addressed. The postoffice department has suspended an order recently issued permitting mail matter to be addressed to box numbers on mail routes. The mail Order houses asked and received permission to address mail to the box numbers only. Merchants in the smaller cities,, objected, that if fche mail order houses were allowed to make use of the box numbers in this way the business of the local merchants would be injured, Rural carriers have now been instructed not to deliver mail matter addressed to box nttmber& only. All mail muist bear the address o£ an individual, firm or cpr- yot&ttim* Why Journey to Foreign Lands? The vast sums spent by Americans tourlnj- foreign countries suggests to the uninformed that.Amerlca Is comparatively barren of what is worth while, to the tourist. But the facts are otherwise and, being prlveleged to read the diary of a tourist through picturesque America, we make some quotations therefrom as clearly showing the beauties of Uncle Sam's dominions The author is Richard Tredinnick, Marsh field, Wis., an Englishman by birch who has twice crossed the Atlantic. He was one of twenty-four who in a special car travelled 7,000 miles this summer through the west: At two we entered the royal gorge of the grand canon of the Arkansas river. This is one of natures gateways across the great continental divide and one may well say, "My kingdom for the pen of a ready writer." The gorge at its entrance is just wide enough for the railroad track and the Arkansas river runninc parallel. The walls on either side are perpendicular or overhanging so much that in some places they seem almost to com3 Sto gether at the top, which at one place is 2627 feet above. At one point the river occupies the entire width of the gorge and the track is suspended from an inverted a shaped frame work supported above the river by notches cut in the rock. Each day discloses a scene surpassing in grandeur the one before. Some places there are rocks overhead that look as if a touch with an umbrella would push th'em over yet they tell us that if we were up there we would know that four men couldn't move them. On up the mountains paralleling the track we go with the river and mountains growing less and soon we notice "ohe water running westward and we know we are on the Pacific slope. At Salt Lake in Utah nearly all of our crowd took a dip in the lake and were surprised to And it quite warm. You cannot drown In It for you cannot sink. You can lay on your back, face or side but you cannot get under water and the mobt difficult thing after swimming a while is to get your feet on the ground and body in an upright position. To me such a bath was most exhilarating. But on we go again bounding over the prairies of Nevada. What a wild desolate waste! For miles and miles and more miles not a sign of a house or human being or living creature, nothing but an arid waste alkali, cactus and sage bush But the contrast! for on again into tbe mountains we go and on awakening next morning the first thing that catches my eye is an orange grove for we are in the Golden State. After attending prayer meeting at one of the principal churches where a minister friend is the pastor, he accompanied me through San Francisco's China town and then on a little farther down if that is possible. Hired a guide for $2 and he took us through hell or a part ot it. We visited the chop restaurants, the Joss houses and opium dens bub Che China gambling hells we didn't see as they were recently ordered' closed, and sight seers can't get into those ".undergrounds." San Francisco bay is the most beautiful piece of water and land surroundings I ever saw. Thirty-six hours ride took us to Portland from Frisco and then on to Tacoma. We had a splendid trip on Puget Sound with a fine view of Mt, Tacoma with its snow white summit, 14,500 ft. in the air. It stands there all alone, seemingly rising out of the plains. After dinner we embarked on the stage coach for a six days' ride of 270 miles through Yellowstone JPark. No brains allowed. A sixteen mile drive behind four white horses brings us to the first camp where we put up for tbe night. Then follows an enumeration of boiling springs, spouting geysers, cliffs, glass rocks, smoking mountains, beautiful cascades, paint springs, curious grottoes, creeks, rivers and lakes, that seem a)most.£ncredible. At one place he says, "After looking into the crater a while it makes it easier for the sceptic to believe in a literal hell." At another, "After it ceased spouting I reached over the geyser too far and pretty nearly got my face burned by the boiling, foaming water." -'There are about 1500 tourists in the park." He ends the trip through Yellowstone Park saying, "It surpasses by a thousand times Niagara Falls or anything else 1 have yet seen" My 7000 mile trip of thirty days has taken us through fifteen states of this greatabd glorious cottatry over the finest route, or would have been if the Canadian Rockies were Included, that can be planned on the American con* MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE. Mrs. Margaret Switzer of Leaton Must Answer to the Charge in Circuit Court. Mrs. Margaret Switzer of Leaton charged with the murder of her husband, John, September 20th waived examination. Monday before Justice Lovelandof6Mt. Pleasant and was bound over for trial at the next term of circuit court. Mrs. Switzer is fastidious as to her personal appearance and dresses extravagantly. She has had a number of things taken from her home at Leaton to the county jail and now her cell is fitted up quite cOrafortablj. She sleeps well and eats well but has preceptibly aged since the tragedy. But she is extremely selfish. When taken to Leaton to take a last look at the body of the man she murdered, she calmly turned from the casket to ask for his books saying, ''1 want to have all his accounts collected." Dr. I. L. Polozker of Detroit with many others hold that the woman is insane. He says, "While Switzer was a student at the Detroit College of Medicine, he lived across the street, from me. The woman was always in torture from jealousy—always afraid Switzer would run off with someone. It really became a monomania with her. I remember the night of his uraduation, when of course none of the tnyseame home particularly early, she came over to my house at 1 o'clock in the morning, demanding to know where he was. The woman was in a furious rage and could not be reasoned with. I can understand how her temper and her jealousy might lead to homicide." The Switzers' domestic trouble is a story of incompatible marriage. She was fifteen years his senior, far from attractive, as well as reputed to have violent temper, but she possessed $4,- 000. He was a carriage body trimmer, a widower with ambitions, but no money. His wages were $10 per week. In an affidavit made by her in answer to his bill for divorce, which he filed after the $4,000 was all spent she said she had paid many of his debts before they were married. Among these, it is alleged, was part of the funeral expenses of his former wife. She also says, showing that he lived beyond his means, that his wages were attached before marriage and she paid the court fees. She claims that in February 1898, Switzer induced her to stake him with $1000 to go after gold in the Klondike. He returned broke. He wanted to be a doctor and she sent him to the Detroit College of Medicine. During this time she says she kept roomers and boarders bo help pay his expenses. He graduated in 1903. They went to Ford, Mich., but she became very jealous and made life pretty hard for him. He begun proceedings for divorce and she came to this city to live at the Crystal house. The divorce proceedings were dropped last April. In the cross bill she claimed he was addicted to drink, and abused her terribly. Such domestic troubles as the above make evident the cause of the fatal shooting affray and cast some light upon the peculiar character of the woman now in custody of Sheriff Bailey at Mt. Pleasant. Hezekiati Hendrie, On Wednesday the 4th day of October 1905, in the township of Vernon, Hezekiah Hendrie was found dead in his garden where he had been husking corn. He ate a hearty breakfast and was not feeling ill in any way but about nine o'clock his wife found him lying on his face and the spark of life had fled. Heart trouble was the cause. Deceased was born in England about seventy- six years ago. At the age of four he was brought over to Canada where he resided until- one and one- half years ago when he moved to Michigan on the place where he died, He married Rachel Wilson forty-six years ago. To this happy union were born five children, four of whom are left to mourn his loss: Mrs. Sarah Hagle Of Turner, Joseph W,, of Vernon, George W., of Sheffield, Canada, James„B. at home. These with the wife mourn the loss of a good father and a beloved husband, also a niece Miss Sarah Brown of Brantford, Canada and five grandchildren. Mr. Hendrie was loved and respected by all who came in contact) with him* He was industrious and took a great interest ih his home and.family. He was a member of the [English church. The funeral, which was very large, was conducted on Friday by 'ftew T. P. Bennett;, pastoK of the M, GLARE COUNTY POMONA, The gathering gers at the Pomori ed Lake last Fridd abe occasion. TM was carried out m Splendid Gathering of Grangers at Crooked' Lake last Friday. * Clare county gran- meeting at Crook- was a very en joy- afternoon program oh as published in these columns last week, Mr, and Mrs. B. S. Alley were chosed delegates to represent the Pomona at the state grange meeting at Grand Rapids and three new membels entered into the mysteries of the {"fifth degree. The officers elect of th Pomona follow: Master—B. S. Afley. Overseer—AlvittRoat. - Lecturer—Miss fllias Haddock. Steward—John Bauder, Asst. Steward~ r. B. Hamer. Chaplain—Mrs, W. W. Wheeler. Treasurer—Daniel Rowe. G. K.—Ralph Sp'rague. ' Secretary—Edward JFinch, Sears—Mrs. R. Hutchinson. ePomona—Mrs. if Rowe. Flora—Mrs W. Arnold. L. Asst. Stewardr-Mrs. J. B. Hamer. A sumpuous repast was provided by the ladies of Garfield grange and the evening program was an excellent one in charge of Lecturer W. M. Clark. It .consisted of lots of good music by a ladies' and a male quartette with vocal solos and recitations, A, R. Canfield and Philip A. Bennett were present and gave short addresses. The hospitality of the Garfield grange and their evident activity speaks well for the future of the grange in the southwest of the county. Through the efforts of Master B, S. Alley and Lecture W, M. Clark two granges have been added to the county's total, bringing it up to thirteen, one at Windover Lake in Lincoln and one at the Redner school house in Hatton and these two men are ready to go anywhere in the county to organize other granges. The next meeting of the Pomona will be held with the Grant grange the first Friday in January. Rama Cour in the Navy, Seventeen year old Rama Cour of this city who recently joined Uncle Sam's navy is located at New Port, R. I. From his letters to his parents we gleam a number of interesting facts: From Ludington I went to Detroit then to Cincinnati and then on here in a special car. There are 3500 boys here in training for the navy and some of them are pretty tough. We are not permitted to smoke cigarettes or chew but we get a smoke three times a day. At first I didn't go on the boat and greatly enjoyed rifle practice on land. On the boat I got sick at first bub am alright now. We have t,o wash and mend our own clothes. We sleep each of us in a hammock and have no pillow and only one blanket, but it's a dandy. We are compelled to go to church and it's my own church too. Besides we have to go to school several hours a day. This week I am cook for the fif by- one prisoners. Some of them are in irons and kept on bread and water, which to me seems a pretty tough proposition. But thus far Iv'e not had any cross words from any of my officers and I don't Intend to. Tomorrow I go on liberty for several hours but I can't help thinking of home and Clare. A little below here are large battle ships and many torpedo boats here all the time. President Roosevelt was here last week and the sailors had to march for him. There is here an old square riggid sailing ves sel, the oldest in the United States. It is 108 years old and carried forty, eight guns. The mast pole is 185 feet high and we go clear to the top to furl sail. But I must stop for I have to wash dishes Dual Life. ' Ever since tbe famous story of dual life, "Dr. Jekyell and Mr. Hyde" was written much interest has there been in this style of story as well as in watching records of dual life among people. Interest in this kind of story has been marked In recent months and a number of magazines have published such stories The Smntinbl's continued story, "The Missing Man" is based on dual life and is causing much interest among our readers. The Cosmopolitan last month completed a story Of similar character but lacking in merit cqmpared with the one written by Mary R, P. Hatch. , Miss Sadie Wilson of Harrison will be at Mrs" D, 1. Alwafd's Saturday, October 14th. AH who desire to see bei- about music, lessons can see her there. SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE, Eighty-eight Enrolled at the Three Day Gathering of Teachers at Farwell. The three day inspiration institute at Farwell Sept. 5-7 was in attendance and success one of the best ever held in the county. Nearly every one now teaching in the county was present, and the instructors, Prof. S. B. Laird of the Normal College of Ypsilanti and Miss Florence Fox of Bay City, did splendid work. The former emphasized more parbicularly good citizenship and the teaching of it in schools while the latter laid emphasis onman ual training. Each gave a lecture, Miss Fox Thursday evening and Mr. Laird Friday evening, on popular subjects Miss Elizabeth Bingham contributed to the pleasure of the evening's program with excellent vocal solos. It was a valuable three days to the teachers of the county and its influence for good will be felt in the schools. Scbug-SMer.- At the horpe of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schug at Stevenson Lake at eight o'clock last evening their daughter, Miss Lena, and J, W. Schaeffer, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schaeffer of Grant, were united in the bonds of holy matrimony in the presence of immediate relatives, including a great aunt of the groom, Mrs. S. Meister of Whitehouse, Ohio, and a few friends, Rev, Henry Lange of Ludington Officiating, The bride was charmingly gowned in pea green silk and attended by Miss Matilda Lange while the groom's brother, Rudolph, was best man. Both young people are products of the country here and are highly regarded for their real worth. She is popular among a large circle of friends and for thelast year has been employed at the Forward millinery parlors in Clare while he is a prosperous, progressive young farmer. Following the ceremony a wedding supper was served. Many presents show the. good will of the givers for a future of happiness and prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. Schaeffer will reside with his parents in Grant for the winter but expect to build a home for themselves next summer. Draining-Northeast Sderidan; Hermansdale Correspondent. The drain running through section eleven and between sections thirteen and fourteen, known as the McGivern drain, is being vigorously pushed at the present time. This drain was let about four years ago but. on account of wet seasons it has progressed very slowly. L. H. Thompson is putting in a culvert where the drain crosses the highway and two gangs of men are working in the ditch, one on the main line and one on its tributary. The tributary follows the highway about eighty rods and it promises to be a big benefit to the highway. This drain was let in small jobs of about eighty rods each of which five are al most completed, giving the rest of the work upstream a good outlet. This ditch will undoubtedly greatly improve a large area of the township's best land and if there was a little more of this kind of work done it would bring the township to the front much faster. Edna Jackson. Edna, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson of Dover died Saturday of cholera infantum. The funeral occured Monday from the Dover church in charge of Rev. Mr. Bell of Farwell and interment was made at Cherry Grove. A preolous one from Us la gone, * A Voice we loved Is stUled; A place Is vacant lc our home, Which never can be ftliet), God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given; And though the body moulders li are, Our little Edna Is safe in heaven.
