WONDERFUL YELLOWSTONE!
C
■j**?.-'
Glimpses   of   America's    Most
Famed National Park.
Through the courtesy of William
Wolsey we give some extracts from a
letter from his son, Rabbi Louis Wolsey, giving his impressions of his visit
to the park.
I have seen so many wonderful
things that I hesitate to describe,
even a single one of the many that
make tbis park great, because language
is inadequate. But a single one of
tthese strange phenomena would be
sufficient "for one to make a long
journey to see. The park is simply
crowded with the miraculous until
5sne gete bewildered seeing so much
that IS unusual. The trip is different
■from" any that are taken,    It is by
- !' stage; it is democratic in bringing all
classes together; we are in many real
'" senses out of civilization, see no newspapers and know nothing of what is
going on in the world.
Our tour includes 157 miles, all" by
stage over roads that have, been made
by the government at great cost and.
most of which are sprinkled every bay
to lay the dust. We stop at nice
hotels and always have good meals
and beds. Prominent among these
hotels is the "O.d Faithful Inn," the
•-L like of which! have never seen. It
a*1s* built entirely inside and out of
rough lumber and trunks of trees and
curiously selected branches of crooks
and twists and strangely grown knots.
It resembles a dwelling of the revolu-
. tionary period. The manager of the
hotel, a genial and jolly Irishman,
meets you at the door, .one of those
old fashioned welcomes you read
about.
■ft
The people on the trip are strange-
... ly brought together.    We have the
free and easy westener, a rich congressman from New York, a professor
from a university, a fellow from Portugal, an artist from Germany (a jovial
*   Dutchman), a Frenchman from Algiers, a Hindoo from South India, and
two young gentlemen from Austria.
./ Thihk of the conglomeration!    And
""*! ive got along cheerily, all tied together by the common pursuit of instruction and pleasure in Yellowstone.    By
the way it is a most noteworthy fact
tihat Yellowstone te far more fame**
in Europe than in our   own land.
That is a pity.
The park is a union of the most diverse and wonderful energies and arts
of nature imaginable. The-re are
wonderful terraces in mammouth hot
springs formed by deposits of lime
from the hot water*? ipsuing from the
earth and they are of the most beautiful colors and forms, At the Lower
Basin, nineteen miles south, the wonderful geysers, we r,ead about, begin.
They are simply bursts of hot water
issuing from craters in the earth and
throwing oceans of bteam  upward.

seventy-five feet. But where can I begin or where end! Words and time

EAOl-I OF.FOUR GENERATIONS STILL'ACTIVE. .
Through the courtesy of D. E. Alward the Sentinel reproduces a recent
picture of four generations pf a well known Olare county.family, which appeared in the.Detroit Tribune. From-left to right there are Mrs. Mary Ann
Doherty, the Senator's mother, Lydia, wife^of W. H. BiCKnell, her little
daughter, Alice Dorothy, and A. J. Doherty, who is prouder of this title,
Grandpa, than of any other. " -
The geysers all play at different intervals, at longer or shorter periods and
at different heights. But they are
most wonderful • to see. Not the
least remarkable of these geysers are
the craters ou(i of which they issue.
They are of all sorts and conditions
and shapes' and go by appropriate
names as the Grotto, the Bee Hive,
the &ient, the Fountain. Old Faithful is the name of the favorite gfeyser
of the park. It is.so called because it
plays every sixty-five minutes for tour
past two years made her home with
her brother in Olare. The groom is
the proprietor pf the livery and feed
barn located in the O'Calahart building. Both have many friends who
wish them joyous prosperity.   ■
From a distance there were present
at the wedding: Ira P. Woodward,
father of the bride, Sim6oe, Ont., Mrs.

Electric Road Talk,
Secretary Parsons of the Bay City-
Caro electric road is credited by the
Bay City Tribune with the following:
I hayent so very much to go by,, but
I do know that the prospects are better now than eyer. I know, too, that
the Bay Oity and Caro people are
p'anning to go to Midland, Co:eman
and Clare, taking in„a dozen smab
towns along the route. The towns
are practically in an air line west of
Bay City, slightly towards the north,
and Midland, Coleman and Olare, as
well as several o her 'towns, have
small branch roads running north and
south of them which act as feeders for
the P. M. It stands to reason that
the P. M. doesn't want a road In that
direction, for it controjs absolutely
everything throughout that entire
country. If the people who are at the
project show their hand the P. M.
will get to work at once in the east
and knock their plans for' financing
sky-high, for it has influence enough
to .do it. These peop'e ' must keep
their identity secret. I know from
personal correspondence—have the
letters in my desk here—that in New
York and Philadelphia', strenuous efforts^ are being made to ascertain who
the 'Caro and Bay City' people are.
They've got to keep quiet in order to
do anything.       *
Base Bail Joke on Midland.
Midland and Olare were to play ball
at the Sunday school excursion at Bay
Port Tuesday. Rumor reached our
sister city that Clare had "loaded up"
for the occasion. Accordingly determining to win, Midland secured several
players from „ the famed Gilbrides of
SagiDaw, one from Owosso and one
from Beaverton which with two or
three Midlandit.es, they figured would
give them one of the strongest combinations in the state. But lo! Clare
presented two sixteen year old local
boyS for a battery with the rest a miscellaneous combination of home talent
—far inferior to the regular team.
The score was 18 to 2 In favor of Midland but they didn't seem to get very
much satisfaction out of their victory.
Democrats Turned
Down Stearns.
A few hours befdre the meeting of
the democratic state convention at
Grand Eapids yesterday, Justus
Stearns, who in the last six years has
spent a mint of money in vain trying
to get the republican nomination for
governor flopped over to the democrats
as his nomination for govenor seemed
assured. A big fight was made, however, and he was final y defeated by a
vote of 340 to 414, W. N. Ferris winning out. One of Cl^re County's
three votes was cast for Stearns.
The democratic candidate for gove-
nor was a former very ardent silver-
ite. Even after h s nomination he
frankly admitted that lie is not satisfied with the democratic presidential
nominees'nor with the niitional platform.

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE..
Fred M. Warner Will
be Elected Governor By a Large
Majority.
[Editorial from the Mt. Clemens Monitor July 7, 1904.J
One day just ten years ago a young
man with good, honest face and
modest mien came into the monitor
office. "My name is Warner," said
he; I live at Farnrngton, Oakland
county—make cheese there—and I am
thinking of becoming a candidate for
the senate in the. Macomb Oakland
distrrct. Ibfis a democratic district, I*
know, but I believe there is a fighting
chance, and am willing to take it, if
the boys ate willing. I believe I can
carry Oakland county by three or four
hundred, and if we can ho'd 'em down
in Macomb county to two or three
hundred, it is possible for me to get iri
by a hundred or s'6. It close nipping,
but it is.worth trying for. I sell a lot
of cheese in the" two counties, and
know a good many men."
Thfityoung man's candidacy grew
finely.' The more people got tp know
him, the better they liked him. He
was a plain unaffected citizen, witjh a
friendly word for all men. When' the
election came, instead of ono or two
hundred majority, he had, 2,100. He
entered the senate the youngest member, and at once proved himself
capable and upright. He served four
years, being re-elected by a. very lairge
majority in 1896. Mr. Warner stood
steadfastly for the people while in the
senate. He was heartily with Gov.
Pinnree in his policy of reform, and he
was not for a*moment "lined up" with
corporate interests.
Mr. Warner was a candidate, for sec-,
retary of state in 1898 and was defeated by J. S. Stearns, whose* boodle
was more effective then than his pro-
c'amations for "reform" have been
since. Mr. Warner was nominated
and'e ected in 1900, re-elected ia 1902,
in- both cases running ahead of the
average vote of his associates on. the
ticket. No better secretary of state
was ever chosen by the people of the
stater
He has now been nominated for governor in a full and fair, convention, of
the republicans of the state, and practically without opposition., He stands
and will be elected on his record as a
man and public official. When he is
governor, as he will be by" an, overwhelming majoriiy, he will be the
same-genial gentleman and straight-'
forward citizen that he is^now. He
feels that the office of goverhor will
come to him as a great responsibility.
There need be no fear that he will betray the trust or prove unequal to the
responsibi.ity. He has a lar»*c ac-**
quaintanco with state affairs, and no ■
one will fool him for a minute.
Neither for a minute wiljb anybody be
governor of-Michigan but himself.
Fred Warner is distinctly and con-
spiciously a man of the people. The
people will elect him, and he will
serve thorn first, last, and a.li the time
with absolute fidelity.
The republican   state  .convention *
nominated a fine ticket, declared for
as fu.l.a measure of primary "reform"
as^anyjrepublic&tt state has, and adjourned    with • everybody     singing
"Hallelujah."   The work of'the convention could 'not have been better.......
