GRUSHED TO DEATH.
Wm.  J. Clement Meets Death
Under Circus Train.
Friday night as the Wallace show
was being loaded on the Ann Arbor
railroad some of the workmen of the
show "vjrere startled by the screams of
a man. On investigation it was found
that one of their number had been
run over as the train backed. His
body was frightfully mangled, both
legs having been cut of, both arms cut
off and his head badly cut and
mangled. He was dead when pulled
out from under the train.
From circus authorities ' it was
found that his hame was W.' J. Clement and that his home was in Davenport, Iowa. The remains were placed
in charge of undertaker J. E. Doherty,
after it was decided that an inquest
was unnecessary, and a message was
Sent to the unfortunate man's mother.
She at once wired to have the remains
of her son sent to his home.
It seems that no one saw the accident and it is supposed the man was
overcome from a loss of sleep and the
train backed upon him. It is the
opinion of undertaker Doherty, who
embalmed the body, that the mah was
"not intoxicated at the time of the accident.
LABE'S POPULATION.
the
An Increase   of 87 Since
Census of 1900.
The Sentinei. this week is able to
give the official figures of the census
taken in June. The population of
Clare is as follows:
First Ward
Second Ward
Third Ward
269
680
464
1,413
<:
Total
This is an increase of 8T over the
cenSus of 1900, a total population of
1,326. This with the 200 or more over
tbe county lin6 which, properly belongs to Glare in almost every sense
except when' the census enumerator
comes around brings the actual population up to lt613,
Water Works Proposition.
Some weeks ago the Kiggs-Sherman
Company of Toledo took up a contract
to make a survey of the city and make
a plat to be used to regulate the water
works mains, sewerage and sidewalks.
This plat was to have been delivered
by July 5th, but for some reason the
company have delayed. Mayor Lacy
has written them hurrying up the
matter and as soon as the plat can be
procured the council will vote to submit a bonding proposition to the people for a new water works system.
Just which of the taked of plans for
a new water supply improvement will
be submitted to tha voters, the
Sentinel has not learned, bub extension of the pipes, capacity and a surer
water supply will be afforded whichever plan is finally adopted.
Rural Carriers'
Schedule Appointed.
The new salary schedule for rural
mail carriers has been completed.
The new Schedule applies from July 1.
The last Congress raised the maximum .salary from $600 to $720 a'year.
It was found that the maximum route
was twenty-four miles long and to
carriers on routes of this length numbering about 12,000, the maximum
salary will be paid. The salaries of
carriers on routes shorter than the
maximum was fixed by deducting $18
for each mile less than twenty-four.
The net result has been that slightly
over two-thirds of the whole force of
24,500 rural carriers have received increases of S100 a year in their ..salaries..
The remaining carriers have received
increases of less than this amount.
This takes into consideration the
expense for the equipment and makes
What is stated to be a liberal allowance for such expense to carriers on
routes less than the maximum length.
It leaves about the same appropriation
available-foi^Vicjv, service during the'
coming year that the department had
daring the last fiscal year.
The P. M. Buys Two Roads,
The Ohicago Inter-Ocean is authority that the Pere Marquette railroad company have bought the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and also

railroads, the transactions having

new freight cars and forty heavy locomotives.

along and only two "steepers" vwere
found on the streets the next morning.
The Wallace sho-vv seldom stops at a
town the size of Clare, and it certainly
speaks well for us that a show like
this one should decide to make this
point. Those who have seen Eing-
ling's, Barnum & Bailey's or Fore-
paugh & Sells Brother's big shows are
saying that the only difference between these and Wallace's is that
Wallace has not such a quantity, but
as a whole, considering the money
vested, Wallace ranks up with
best of them.

Tlie Waiiace Circus,
Perhaps xhe event of the average
boy's summer vacation has come and
gdne, viz: the Wallace show. We are
informed that so strong was thfe* desire of several east Fifth street;
youths(?) to see the circus as it pulled
in at the-union depot that they agreed
to sit up all night, but getting sleepy
toward two a. m., they retired j Setting a spasmodic alarm clock .and
hanging it at the head of the one
most wakeful, a regular network of
strings being formed-, tied from big
toe to big toe all over the neighborhood.
The show was drawn on a train ot
twenty six extra long cars,—-about
dbuble the length of the ordinary car,—
arriving oyer the Ann Arbor at abpiit
15:30 a. m. The parade was\a good one
ahd the performance was ih every respect high class,    Few fakirs were
Tlie Big Race Meeting.
Secretary Cutting has again been
given charge of the Saginaw races and
announces dates from August 9th • to
12th. The very, late seasons in Michigan the past few years has put- back
horses in their Speed work, with
everything else, and it is felt that the
August dates will result in a greater
entry list, although Saginaw has. always enjoyed big fields and most excellent races. A program that will
appeal to horsemen has been offered
as follows:
. Trotting: *2:40-$300, 2:35-$400,
2:28-S400, 2:25-8400. 2:23-8400, 2:21—
$400, 2:18—$400, 2:12-$400.
Pacing: *2:40-$300, 2:35-8400, 2:28
—$400. 2:25-«400, 2:23—8400, 2:19—
$400,2:16—$400,"2:12—$400, Free-for-all
—$400.
*The '40 Classes will be in the nature of Consolation Classes in so far as
the en i ries are concerned. . The pu rses
will be ,8300; conditions the same as
other classes, but horses winning in
fasi er classes at'this meeting will not
be eligible to the '40 class events.
Central   Michigan    Association
Will Hold Forth at Ithaca
August 3 and 4, 1904.
Every Knight and lady in the Central Michigan Maccabee Association
should make it a point to attend the
annual games and picnic, which will
be held at Ithaca,- Wednesday and
Thursday, Aug. 3 and 4. Ithaca Maccabees never do anything by halves,
and those who attend will be assured
the time of their lives. ®
The keys of the city wil 1 be del ivered
over to the .visitors. There will be all
sorts of games, a monster parade, and
fun galore. There will be prizes for
the best drilled tents, etc.
The Central Michigan Association is
made up of the counties of Midland,
O are, Isabella and Gratiot. Portions
of Saginaw, Shiwassee, Clinton and
Montca'm bordering the district will
take. part, and invitations are extended to all knights and ladies and
their friends in the whole state Of
Michigan, to attend as guests of the
association.
Hon. K. S. Searl is president' Of the
Association, and the committees having in charge the details of the gigantic affair are the .picked men of the
city, everyone of them being a hustler.
The railroads have made reduced
rates for the round trip.

HAT SALE!

le Hay Crop,
Central Michigan is noted for the
abundance of its hay crop and grazing
lands, and now just as the farmers are
finishing up their haying .it is found
that this section Of Michigan produces
a crop of'hay which is considerable be-,
yond the average. The weather too,
has been such that the crop has been
well taken care of and will be practically free from must. It is thought
that because of the disadvantage they
had in selling short last fall and hav^
ing tb buy hay this spying, few farmers
will sell close this fall.
Lost An Eye.
Some time ago Mrs.. Margaret McKay, now living at the home of her
daughter; Mrs. Sam Loomis, in Vernon had an operation performed on
her right eye when a cataract was removed. Last week she fell, striking
the eye against a chair. The coats' Of
the eye being in a weakened condition the fall produced a rupture and
the aqueous humor leaked through.
Dr. Pullen of Mt. Pleasant was called
and it having been necessary, the eye
ball was..fembved Saturday Evening.
At this writing the patient is getting
along nicely. *
