WARNER    DELEGATES    SELECTED
AND P. F. DODDS ENDORSED
•    FOR THE SUPREME BENCH.
Delegates  Favorable to Dr. Kelley  for
Representative Chosen.
The convention at Harrison Tues-
• day was one of the largest in the history of Clare county republicanism. A
fine body of men they were, representative of the better classes of our citizens all over the county and the enthusiasm so wide spread, speaks well
for the healthy condition of the party
in the county. Hatton, Greenwood
and Franklin were not represented
but there were full delegations from
very nearly all of the other nineteen
precinct's, over sixty delegates present.
W. H.'Browne was chosen chairman,
C. "L. Dolph secretary and R. B. Campbell and L. W. Wright tellers. The
following committes were elected:
Credentials—J. E. Dudley,. F. B.
Doherty, J. E. Herrick.

of business—John Saxton, John Fleming, Sheldon Wood.
Resolutions—G. J. Cummins, Chris
Kleiner, R. J. Whaley.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Resolved by the Republicans of
Clare county in convention a-semb'ed,
that we reiterate our confidence in and
support of the principles of the republican party, and heartily endorse the
administration of that fearless leader"
and peer among men, Theodore Roose-
, ve't.
That we commend to the voters of
the state, the candidacy of Fred.
M. Warner," a man of the common people, for governor of the state
of Michigan
Believing that through lung service
comes influence on the floors of congress to our representatives, and that
thereby more benefit accrues to our
congressional districts, we therefore
endorse the candidacy of Hon. A.. B.
Darragh for; a third term and request
the congressional delegates elected at
this convention to work and vote for
"his renomination.
That believing the work and efforts
of state senator Alfred J. Doherty, in
behalf of, the twenty-eighth senatorial
district, have met with the approval,
of the district and have resulted innumerable benefits thereto, it is with
pleasure that the republicans of ClaTe
county endorse their fellow citizen for
renomination as their representative
in the state senate.
That in Hon. Peter F. Dodds we
have timber unexcelled in the state
for the position of Justice of the Supreme Court, and that we most heart-
i y recommend him to the people of
the state for the position as one of the
judges of the Supreme court*; and request the delegates elected to the Judicial convention to use their best
efforts to secure his nomination as a
candidate therefor.
That we urge upon all republicans
the necessity of sustaining party organization in their several localities
and working early and late for the
success of party candidates in the
coming fall campaiun.
That the thanks of this .convention
are due and are hereby tendered to
county committee chairman Kirk-
bride, county committe secretary
Kelley and their associates for their
untiring.efforts in the past which have
resulted in the success of the republican party in this county.

The death of .John H Smith, one of
the respected farmers of Sheridan,

funeral"occurred from the Sheridan
Baptist church, Rev. D. J. McTavish
preaching the sermon, and interment
was made at Cherry Grove.
Deceased was born in Canada in 1858.
Twenty-two years ago he settled on
his farm in Sheridan and, as the years
since have stolen by, kept industriously on with life's work until a
line farm of 240 acres is the monument
of his labors. Besides a wife, eight
children survive—Mrs. Carl Herring of
Sheridan and Archie, Cora, Frances,
Bruce, Roscoe, Eli and John all at

of Very Short duration.

learn full particulars.
Our new fire whistle sounded for
the flrst time in case of a fire on Monday evening. The alarm was turned
in as Augus McLeod's house.was on
fire. Tne fire originated from a lamp
carried in a closet full of clothes and
spread very rapidly. The fire was
confined to two rooms which were
badiy burnt and charred. The entire
furniture and a large amount of clothing were also destroyed. The fire was
put out with pails although the hose

amputat'd just abdve the kn <-, at the

weeks ago while working in Gardner's

his axe when in some way he fell on
the axe, cutting a deep gash just
below aud a little under the knee cap.
Tbe cut never did well and a short
time after it was thought that blood
poison had set in, but the doctor headed this off. It kept getting worse
until the only hope was "the amputa-
tation of bis leg. Seven pipes had
formed, from which matter and pus
was running. Although very weak
and low, the doctors think he will
pull through alright.
