men who in the early days of
struggle and through thirty years and
more associated their lives' with the
development of our community. The
number surviving becomes fewer each

foTce how great is our obligation to
the pioneer. '

ago a paralytic stroke greatly weakened him. For, the past* eight weeks
he was confined to his home, death resulting from a complication of diseases. The fuheral took place from

UNCLE SAM'S LOTTERY.
R. J. Willoughby Has a Chance
to Draw 160-Acre Prize in
the Rosebud Reservation, S. D.       -

A SUBSTANTIAL INDUSTRY.
Next Tuesday is Excursion Day.
The Clare andJDover. ba'bds and the
Clare base ball team wall accomparfy
the Sunday school excursion to Bay
Pott next Tuesday August 2nd. A
large number is expected to go from
Clare, Hurrison, Farwell, Md. Pleasant, LoomtSi Herrick, Coleman, and
Midland. As previously narrated ln
these columns Bay Port is an ideal
place for sucban excursion. It is noticeable that Somebody has in the
bills, advertising the excursion, named it "The Midland County Excursion.", The Sentinel suggests that
both Isabella and Glare counties fed
just as important as Midland county
and it is unwise for any one to assume
foi* one county the honor for that in
which the other two couufciea share.
R. J. Willoughby who recently 'sold
out his photo studio in Glare journeyed last week to the south part of the
state but Suddenly determined to
.make a bid for one of Uncle Sara's
2500 chunks of land, each a,quarter
section, into which the Rosebud res?
ervation in South Dakota is to be divided and thrown open to civilization,
In a personal letter to E. G. Welch,
Mr. Willoughby states a number of interesting facts some of which are herewith given: •
Here I am sitting under a shade
tree at Yankton, S. D. Sever thought
I would be out here when I left Ciare.£
Yankton is a town of 5000 people with
two daily papers, al?o a German weekly. I was somewhat surprised in the
developement of the country. There
is no timber to speak of. Crops look
excellent now, corn, wheat, oats being chiefly grown If I were a farmer
I -would look up some land here But
perhaps I may get 160 acres anyway
in Uncle Sam's lottery. My chances
are about one in a hundred to get a
portion of the ^Eosebud reservation.
Hp less' than 106,326 homeseekexs have
registered, each hoping that he will
be one of 2500 lucky ones t6 secure a
quarterjsection af "the drawing to take
place July 28th.' I got here July 2|}rd
the last day' of registration and 2000
registered during the day. They tell
me there were days when people were
lined up two abreast for ■>two blocks
waiting their turri. I meet men from
Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, in fact they
are here from every state in the Union. But I have missed all the excitement as this town is now as orderly
as Olare during the carnival, pnly
more.gambiihg add any number of saloons. Nearly all that coine to register return on the next train. ' Notary
Publics are as numerous as flies around,
a sugar barrel. Each of those who
draw a prize is required within Ave
years to pay $4 an acre for the land
and maife it his home for at least fourteen months, which after all* proves
that the allotments are placed beyond
i mere gifts.
Clare Secures the Furnace Foundry.   Company Organized
Monday;
The Olare Furhacfe Co. was organized Monday afternoon and -material
has already beeft ordered for the necessary buildings, One 50x60 feet, two
stories high, and one 30x60 feet one
story high. The plant will be located
near the west end of Seventh street.
Work will be pushed as ra'pidly as possible and the company expects to be
manufacturing furnaces in Olare before winter. Messrs. Henry B. Wells
and Ge*orge B. Wells, now of Ithaca,
have been making the furnace for a
number of years, readily selling all
that they could put on the market.
They are both indentified' with3 the
new Clare company and will become
residents of Glare within a few,weeks.
With increased facilities the output
$vili be very largely increased, making
the industry a very valuable one for
'Glare.
The incorporators are M,rs. A.
Mussell, Henry B. Wells,. George
Wells, L. E. Davy, O. S. Derby, O:

Third Time Within a Year---$47
in Stamps Taken.
*■>     .
(Farwell Correspondent.)
Our postoffice was broken into and
robbed for the third time within a
year Tuesday night. -The burglars
gained entrance by prying open the
side windows with an iron bar. They
took the small Safe in which Mr. Saxton keeps his stamps on a truck, which
they took from the Ann Arbor depot,
back of Steve Shum.wa,y's barii where
i|j was? blown open and -about $47 ia
stamps taken. It is to be hoped that
some clew will be found and the guilty parties arrested.
What Might Have Been a Serious
Fire Held in check by Splendid
Work of Fire Department.
Monday was a warm day and as we
have not had much rain here the past
two . weeks, naturally inflammable
material is doubly inflammable how.
The fire whistle Sounded at 11:30 a. m.
when fire was discovered in Geo. Mc-
Keever's. shingle mill* yard near the
mill. Shingle bolts, shingles and loose
material on the ground caught fire
probably from" Sparks from a passing
P. M. locomotive, and so rapid did it
spread that the south end of the mill
was enveloped in flames almost before
the fire was discovered, and' this was
due to'the fact that the shingle crew
were off duty, and -.the workmen of
Gorr's plaining mill adjoining had left
the mill just before the fire caught.
Two streams were soon plying on
the rapidly advancing -flames and
within half an hour the -Bre was under
subjection. It is thought that a delay of five minutes oh the part of the
firemen would have cost the city,, the
entire stre.tch of wood buildings ori
the south side of Fourth street to the
brick structures on McEwan street.
Mr. McKeever's loss is covered by
$50 „and J. L. Littlefield and W. O.
Fuller of Farwell lost equal. amounts.
The machinery of the mill was not
damaged/ ONo Insurance.

Important to Teachers.
The Department of Public Instruction want teachers to make careful
Btudy of various selections of good
literature each year, and have found
that an excellent way to be sure, they
do this reading is to use. certain toaster pieces oh which to base their questions in reading in the various examinations. These selections are always
published in advance many months of
the examination, so. th-*re is nothing
unfair about it. ' The commissioner
publishes in all the county papers the
list for the ensuing; school' year. Remember the examinations in reading
for the year beginning July 1, 1904,
will be, based on the following sele->
tions:
'   TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.
August, 1904, ."Act III Julius
Caesar''—Shakespeare.
October, 1904, "Than^topsis"—
Bryant.
March, 1905, "Elegy in a Country
Churchyard"—Gray.
