Shepherd Quit tlie Gains.
$
, Shepherd Reds with their four professional ball players came to Clare
today to play the Clare boys, but quit
in the eighth inning, .claiming1 the
umpire, just as in the south part of
the state they said, was giving them
the worst of it. The score at the
time stood five to nine in favor of-
Olare and the "professionals" were
hopelessly out of it.
Duncan's Resort.
As the population of Olare and surrounding country has increased from
year to year, and as all are enjoying
the prosperity that has come to us,
we feel the more like taking outings
and recreation days. Our nearest and
most pleasant lake, it is generally
conceded, is Stevenson.
But it was not until Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Duncan bought the old Davis
landing that the best conveniences
were offered resorters, and this season
will be the banner season at the lake
thus far. Last /year three new steel
"klinker" boats were placed on Ihe
lake for use, besides ii goodly number
of wooden boats; one of the finest
flowing wells in .the. country was
struck; three ottages'were built on
the bank of the'lake und more will be
erected this season; large numbers of
shade trees were planted, and more
this year; and best of nil, Mr. Duncan
has this year erected a fine large brick
house, which gives ample opportunity
to those who wish to botrdaud room,
there while spending their vacation?.
To the above mentioned improvements should be added telephone service over both lines, a convenience
which will be greatly appreciated by
the public.
The courtesy extended to all who go
to the lake is such that the place is
becoming more popular daily, and us
it should be, the financial outlook of
the proprietor will doubtless be commensurate with the growing popularity of the place.
Both 'Phone Companies Active,
From present indications the'vj*ho.c
surrounding country will be a net
work-of telephone wires. The Bell
'phone gang has just completed a line
directly north for Ave miles and are
now at work in Arthur township ex-'
tending lines. Manager Calkins announces that his company propose to
install underground cables in Clare.
The Union people have recently.
completed their line to Stevenson lake
| and are now extending their lines in
vicinity of Dover and placing the
twenty new 'phones recently contracted for.'
The Sentinel will be always glad'
q-to receive items of interestover either
;'phone.   Remember   we   have   both
I 'phones in our office.

Davy & Company
Completed High School Course
at Harrison last Thursday.
The? Commencement exercises of the
Harrison high school passed off successfully at the Wilson opera house
Thursday evening, six girls and three
boys completing the course of study
prescribed. The graduates acquitted
themselves creditably and it is to be
hoped that they will keep true to the
ideals they held up for admiration in
the various literary productions of the
evening.
The class colors, white and green,
were much in evidence and it was evi-1
dent to the most casual observer that
Supc. Aldrich was not a little proud
of his class. The diplomas were awarded by Secretary A. W. Tibbits of the
board of education.
. The alumni banquet was given at
the opera house .Friday eyening.
Frank M. Morrissey acted as toast-
master and a variety of toasts were
suitably responded to. Music for this
occasion was furnished by the Farwell
orchestra. *
Weather Reports By Telephone
This week the Union Telephone
company began to give the United
States weather rpport to all their rural
subscribers. This report is sent from
Chicago and Washington at 9:00o'clock
in the morning and is j*iven out by the
Union Telephone company at 11:00 local time.
In-every exchange on their system
at 11:00 o'clock the operator gives
weather signal on each line. ' This is
done by six short, quick rings. The
receivers come down all along the line
and then the operator gives them the
weather report for the day. Special
weather reports will be given out from,
time to time as they are received from
the Government should a severe storm
approach."
-) ,-It is the intention of the company to
advise the rural subscribers on their
system of any event of absorbing "National importance, such as a Presidential nomination or important battle,
etc.
William O'Grady.
At the age of twenty William,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John O'Grady of
"North Vernon, Monday morning
passed away to that unknown realm
beyond the reach of human knowledge.
He had been ailing more or less for
two or three years from diabetes, having recieyed treatment therefor at the
Saginaw hospital where his case was
considered hopeless. But during recent months he so gained in strength
that he was able to do a good day's
work. Last Friday the disease returned in hn acute form and in spite
of all that could be done he succumbed
to the malady. The funeral occured
this morning from the Olare Catholic
church, Rev. Fr. Malone officiating.
Interment was made at the Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
Deceased was a product of Vernon
whore he was born and raised. Besides the sorrowing parents three sisters and a brother survive: Mrs.
Judge from near Mt. Pleasant and
Rose, Laura and Leo at home.
That the sympathy of the' entire
community is with the bereaved family was shown in the large number
present at the funeral, one of the longest funeral processions from the surrounding country that has come to
Clare in a number of years.
The following froin a distance were
present at the funeral: Mrs. Daniel
Judge, sister of the deceased, and "her
husband and Mr. and Mrs. John 0'"N*eil
of Saginaw.

Gleaned From Isabella Doings.
One of the editors of the county is
very much alarmed over the nomination of H. J. Kane of Mt. Pleasant as
republican candidate for the 25th Senatorial district.
An editor in the county calls one of
his county brethern a ''Mad Mullah"
and adds that his ravings ''have long
since ceased to be even annoying to
the people who know him."
* By proclamation ot? Mt. Pleasant's
chief executtve, all dogs in that city
are forbidden to run at large unless ,
muzzled from June 10th to September
7th. Fear of hydrophobia is the cause
of the proclamation. A little girl was
bitten only a few days ago.
Forty-eight pupils of the county recently passed tbe state eighth'grade
examination and are now receiving
certificates therefor. This is an excellent showing in the face of the fact
that examination was the. < "hardest
ever" and the percentage for passing
was raised tp eighty.
. Prof. Gawn of the* Central Uormal
had conferred upon him by Columbian.
University the degree of master of
arts. The genial head of Isabella's
most famed school was, however, pronounced by all who. know him one of
the best educators bf the state even.

to his name.
