REDS BITE THE DOST,
The  Over-confident Base   Ball
Victors of many Years Vanquished by the Blues.
In a game replete with good playing, good will and good rooting the
annual business men's base ball game,
lust Side vs. West Side, was played
Wednesday under the most favorable
auspices.   The weather was perfect;
no accidents marred the occasion; the
rooters were in good form;    Umpire
Kirkbride was divided in his devotion
to both sides; the crowd was large-
three hours of continuous hilarity.
'Twas with a step more confident
than proud Juno of old that the Reds,
entangled with the self-conciousness
of years of successive victories,
stepped on to the diamond. From the
pedestal of fame achieved in former
years disdainfully they looked down
upon the meek and lowly Blues. The
game began, but lo!'those despised
Blues played ball and right royally did
their cohorts of rooters support them.
The Eeds were dazed as they saw the
ball travel on the wings of air now to
one end of the field and then to the
other. How the runs came in! 'Twas
glorious. What big Red holes were
made in the atmosphere but at the
end of nine innings, weary and footsore from chasing the ball, the West-
siders withdrew from view with quite
and subdued mien, despoiled of all
their former lordly airs while the
band joined in the procession, chanting a dirge in keeping with the awful
catastrophe that had fallen upon the
poor Reds, The score: Reds, 9;
Blues, 14." The game netted $14 which
has been turned over to the city band.

PROPOSED ELECTRIC LINE.
Clare's   Committee Submits   a
Practical Proposition to"
Promotor Boynton.
In these columns oh previous occasions something has been said of the
proposed Grand Rapids Electric Railway company whose purpose is said to
be to construct a railway from Grand
Rapids northeast to Lake Huron
Last Thursday President Boynton of
that company made, a proposition at
a meeting of Clare citizen's tbat Glare
advance $1,000 .now for survey and
guarantee $10,000 on the building of
the road to Glare. After much discussion Mayorf Lacy appointed the
following com^ilttee on the matter:
0. W. Eerry, W. Wolsey, H. Bieknell,
J. H. Wilson", A. R. Canfield.
The Committee after due deliberation submitted a counter proposition
that they would recommend that
Glare guarantee to furnish right of
way through Glare county frOm the
Isabella line on the south to the Gladwin line on the northeast, through
Arthur township. Thus far Mr.
Boynton has made no definite reply as
to the proposition of the committee
except that he has it under consideration.
Marl at Cranberry Lake.
Large deposits of marl exist at
Cranberry lake in Garfield township,
The land around the lake, except at
the small lake at the south end, is
owned by W. H. Baldwin, a man of
considerable capital of Toledo, and
others associated with him, Investigations have recently been .made,
showing marl twenty-six feet deep all
the way around the north end of the
lake, a distance of more than a .mile.
A survey lor a road has been made
from the south end of the lake hear
where the P, M. railroad passes, to
the'marl deposits at the nOrth end
and there Seems to be reason for believing that speedy development of
the valuable.?property williollow.
To be Held at Bay Port, Wednesday, August 12th.
As guests of W. O. Britton, District
Passenger agent of the P. M. railroad,
a committee of Sunday school people
and representatives of the press of
Midland and Clare counties, on Wednesday, the 15th, went to Bay Port to
look over the place as to its desirability as the objective point for the
annual Sunday school excursion. The
party was composed of Wm. Evans, E.
1ST. Lowry, Wm. Owen, Dr. W. T.
Morrison and Editors Steiger and
Orissey, from Midland; Editor D. B.
Menery and O. B. Chaffee of Coleman;
and Rev. 1ST. D. Potter. IS. Bicknell
and Will Hathaway from Clare.
Bay Port is situated forty-six miles
from Saginaw on Wild Fowl bay, an
arm of Saginaw bay. It is a very
beautiful place; the water comes to
the edge of the bank and makes a de-
lighiful place for bathing, the bay
having a smooth, sandy bottom and
for a quarter of a mile out is about
two or three feet deep. Eor the convenience of the more adventurous
fathers, a pier extends out into deep
water. There are plenty of row boats
and four sail boats. There is also a
gasoline launchof good size which can
be obtained by parties. An excellent
hotel, "The Bay Port Club" will give
you your dinner if you do not care to
carry your, own lunch. There are
also numberless tables and pavilions
where one can spread his lunch.
Nearby are the beautiful private
grounds of L. P. Mason, of Saginaw,
containing his summer home. This
is certainly a charming spot.
The party were well taken care of
by Mr. Britton enjoying among other
pleasures a launch ride across the bay.
They returned in a very happy mood,
voting Mr. Britton an ideal enter-
tamer and Bay Port a fine place for
the Annual Sunday School picnic
which is to take place August 12tli.
recoginize how great was the goodness
of this noble man and shows the world
how fast we are approaching to a recal-,
ization of the full gospel of religious
toleration. 'Tis the full rounded
character of this seer as scholar,
statesman, diplomat, theolo'gian, philosopher and christian that leads the
whole civilized world to stand with
bowed head at the bier of the late
Holy Eather.
The pontificate of Leo may not have
accomplished all that the genius of
Gregory VII achieved or the splendor
of Innocent III brought to pass in
well nigh establishing the universal
recognition of the pap's l temporal
power, but with prophet:cxwisdom he
has brought the Vatican in touch
with the free institutions of modern
parliamentary governments. The
Holy See lost its temporal power during tlie last pontificate and Pope Leo,
while in form refusing to recognize
that loss as irrevocable, yet with won-
derous wisdom correspondingly enhanced the spiritual influence of
papal authority in the great worldwide Catholic church. Fever before
was the head of the church so exclusively devoted to religion and never before were his utterances on religious
matters so reverently received by all
catholics and so tolerantly considered
by other religions as now. Leo is far
from the gratest of the popes but he
will rank in history as the one who
inaugurated the conception that the
Holy Eather as sublime head of his
church shall reign alone in the kingdom of men's hearts.

Pope Leo's Death.
In the death of Pope Leo. the world

Wesley Sharp.
After a short illness Wesley Sharp
died at his home in Sheridan July
19th, death resulting from intestinal
complications. Deceased was only
forty-five years of age and ib seemed
hard that almost in tbe prime of life
he should be called hence. The fun*
eral took place from the home Tuesday under the ministration of Rev.
N. D. .Potter of the Clare Baptist
church and the interment was made
at the Cherry Grove cemetery.
Mr. Sharp was born in Canada
where his early life was spent. A
number of years ago he moved to
Clare county and was a resident of
Sheridan township engaged in farming.   He leaves a wife and six chil-

IN BANKRUPTCY.
The Burnaby Company Files
Petition in United States
District Court.
The Burnaby Co. of Midland, large
handlers of produce, butter, eggs, etc.,
having been heavy losers by the failure
of the Chandler Co. of Detroit, brokers
of butter and eggs, whose acceptances
to a large amount had been allowed to
remain unpaid in a Detroit bank,
found this loss added to that occasioned by the tire of some months ago,
more than they could pull through,'
and they filed a petition in the, TJ. S.
District court for the Eastern District
of Michigan July 9th, assets being
$7,000 and liabilities $9,000. The Republican is informed that local losses
on account of this failure are very
small, that the company Jo wedi practically nothing to farmers on account
of purchases from them. Their purchases ran into several thousands
monthly, and their misfortune will be
generally regretted.—Midland Republican.

FATALITY AT FARWELL.
David McAninch Dashed Against
a Stump by a Frightened
Horse and Killed.
David McAninch was suddenly
called from this life Saturday evening '
when with his wife he was returning
from Farwell to hishome west of the
village. Just west of town the horse
became frightened at a handcar near
by, which was nob in motion. The
horse did not see the car until he was
alongside .when wibh a 'sudden bound
he broke loose from the buggy, dragging Mr. Mclnnich from the seat as
bhe lines were so wound around his
hands that to slip them was imposs^
ble. Mrs. McAninch was left sltbing
in the vehicle, but with terifflc speed
the horse rushed on hurling the helpless man so violently against a stump
that in an hour he was dead.* The
funeral services were held'in the Congregational church Monday afternoon
when Rev. M. C. Bullock spoke words
of consolation from bhe text, "Thou
shait be missed because thy seat shall
be empty," and^a large company followed the remains to their resting
place in Farwell cemetery.
David McAninch was born at Greenfield, Ireland, and there spent his
childhood and youth. In 1872 he
married Miss Nancy O'Niel who has
been his faithful wife through life.
In 1874 they settled at Bothwell, Ontario, and 1881 moved to Farwell.
Here they have lived since on their
farm west of the village, making for
themselves a pleasant home, until last
Saturday when the husband and
father was called away. His life had
endeared him to all who knew him.
He was a consistent Christian and was
for the last fifteen years a member of
bhe Congregational ohurch. He leaves
a widow, two sons and three daughters, to mourn their loss.
Charged with Assault.
W. II. Scott, who recently came to
Glare frOm Ohio, was arrested the
first; of the week charged with assault
and his hearing set for tomorrow before Justice Carpenter. Two young
girls are the complaining witnesses.
