OCTOBER SESSION
OF SUPERVISORS.
Dr.  Kelley Submits  Report
of County Exhibit at
State  Fair.

PARTY POLITICS IN CONTROL.
Scrap Over County Printing--
Democratic Leaders Refuse
Bids and Win Out.
. . •
Harrison, October H.—The Olare
county .board of supervisors began its
sessions at the court house Monday
morning and expect to complete their
■work this week.
The board is nominally twelve republicans to ten democrats. Dr. L.
L. Kelley was the candidate of the
former for the chairmanship and they
affirm- that alL.twelve men had^ expressed themselves as entirely satis-"
fied with the doctor and pledged
themselves to vote for his election but
on'the second ballot, John Gordon of
Hatton, the democratic candidate,
was elected by a majority of one. Republicans now charge that sharp
political methods were used to win
two of their number over. At least
the democratic leaders secured control
of the board and all the important
committees are made up on the basis
of democratic control, especially the
the equalization committee, of which
the following is the membership:—A.
P. Clark, Arthur; S. -E. Pierce, Harrison; G. D. Seamon, Greenwood; Carl
Stoll, Grant; John A. Jackson, Clare.
Dr. Kelley's report of the county exhibit of vegetables and greins at State
fair brought out many interesting
facts. "There {.were 93 exhibits in all
and the work of collecting was very
hurriedly and imperfectly done. Only
, simple samples were attempted while
other counties artistically arranged
theit exhibit. But third premium
was awarded our exhibit. The total
expense was $22.63 but the premium
amounted to S20 and s.0^82,63 was the
total cost of the exhibit to the county.
The quality of fruits grown here compared very favorably with those of the
eamfe kind on exhibition from   the
fruit counties. The report will be
published. It is proposed to give
more attention to an exhibit next year
with the view of"showing what Olare
county agricultural products actually
are. Dr. Kelley and A. M. Howard of
Winterfleld were appointed a committee to push the exhibit for next
year.
The board has made the following
appointments: Member of the county
board of examiners,* J. F. Brown of
Harrison; county drain commissioner,
George Shunk of Sheridan;' commissioner of the poor, W. W. Harper of
Harrison.
County Treasurer T. S. Dorsey submitted the annual report Monday
which showed a balance of $15,951 in
the treasury September 30th but this
has been considerably depleted since
then by circuit court and other ex*
expenses.
Late Monday afternoon there was a
pretty warm scrap over the county
printing, which amounts to over $200
a year and which has for several years
been awarded without question to A.
Ii. Canfield. The. scrap was precipitated by Dr. Kelley offering a resolution to have the printing awarded -in
bulk to the lowest responsible bidder
in the county. This was opposed by
the democratic' leaders and finally;
tabled. Supervisor Jackson than
offered a resolution to have the printing awarded to A. R. Canfield on the
same schedule of prices as last year.
Supervisor W. H. Browne of Harrison
attacked the resolution and urged that
James E, Dudley be given a chance to
bid on the printing. The resolution
was however carried by a majority of
one, ten democrats and one republican
voting "yes" and the other ten republicans .present voting "no." Supervisor Gray of Summerfield was absent.
In the discussion of the schedule
upon.wbich the printing was to be let
no one pretended to know just what
it was except that it was the same as
last year. But an examination of this
schedule on file in the cleric's office
shows it to be an old one with rnahy of
the forms of printing now in use by
County officials nut on it at all; so
that on much of the work there is no
agreed schedule in force, and so in
their eagerness' to show fayors to a
political friend, the advocates of the
resolution have foregone,' unintention
ally" perhaps, the   precaution   that
characterises them in their private
business.
The Sentinel recites these facts
merely to point out the truth of its
contention that Clare county democratic leaders in advocating non-
partisanship last spring did it merely
to further their own party interests
and that their policy instead of being
non-partisan was the rankest kind of
partisanship. Recognizing that they
are in the minority they advocate
non-partisanship but when, in a township or some other election, they have
won enough republicans Over to their
side .to give- them' the victory, they
laughingly talk among themselves
about how they have pulled the wool
over the eyes of just enough republicans with promises that were never
intended to be fulfilled,
It may be that pure, undefined non-
partisanship would be just the thing
in local elections but we are not^'apt
to have it before the millennium..
Leader's, who during a campaign assume to be non-partisan merely to
win' over a few voters to their side,
and then after election fight tooth
and nail for their party interests alone
are far less worthy of the confidence
of the people than are good, honest
partisans. Republicans in the, townships, who were deceived last spring
ought to keep this object lesson con"-
stantly in mind and refuse to be used
as catspaws for a few designing democratic politicians, who have so clearly
shown their disregard for and contempt of the reghts and interests of
the taxpayers of the county.

FIRST ANNUAL MEET.
Sportsmen's Field Trials Club
Hold   Trials   in   Clare-
Commencing Oct. 26.
Club has 103 Member.   Entries
for Meet Number 68.
The Sportesmen's Field Trials Club
was organized only a few months ago,
largely through the efforts of a number of sportsmen of the Saginaw valley,
but it already has a membership of
103, principally from different parts of
Michigan, but other states are also
represented. The purpose of the club
is to improve pointers aud setters by
holding field trials and to promote
good fellowship among sportsmen.
Arrangements are so far completed
for the inaugural meet, October 26-28,
that a most successful gathering of
sportsmen with their bird dogs is assured. The rules of the club require
that all dogs be handled by their
owners, who must be amateurs, professionals being barred,. Two stakes,
a Members' Derby and a Members'
All Age, will be" run. Of the sixty-
eight entries twenty-eight are'for the
Derby, twenty-six setters and two
pointers, and the remaining forty for
the All Age of which thirty-two are
setters, seven pointers and Onelrsh
setter.
The following are the entries from
Clare:
A__ AGE—SETTERS.
Whitey, white and black dog,*J?airy-
land Dike—Florence Shelly,—George
Dawson.
ClaravOint, lemon and white bitch,
Cowley's Rodfield's^ Pride—Phoebe
Whitestone,—E. H. Waller.
'Lady Clare-, black, white and tan
bitch, Prince Leon—Topsy Gladstone,—Floyd E. Doherty.
DERBY—SETTERS.
Claravoint, lemon" and white bitch,
Cowley' Eodfield's Pride—Phoebe

setter dog by Fairland Dike—Lady
Clare,—Floyd E. Doherty.
Ruby's Queen, black, white and tan
bitch, Fairland Dike—Waller's Ruby,
—O. H. Va*! Brunt.
Provision has been made that on a
percentage plan the fees from entrance
and starting, $2 for each dog for the
former and $3- for the latter, shall be
divided among the winners.   A silver
THE SNIDER BROTHERS.        "    .
THE GREAT _tAGIClA*-"fS AWD SPIRITTJALIST _lEDnj"M:s
Have recently completed a fifteen months' successful tour in Canada
and rank high as public entertainers. They are particularly skilled in
hypnotic power, especially in the Hindoo method, which has never
been exhibited before Clare audiences. They are spending a short vacation in Clare and will probably give an entertainment here before
leaving.
cup will also be awarded to the winf
ner of first in each stake. -
There will be a bench show on the
evening of October 27th in connection
with the trials and it will be open to
all dogs entered !for the meet. A
silver cup will' be awarded to the
winner.
Grounds south of Clare, have
been selected and already posted
and no. hunting will be allowed' on
them till after the meet.
Many enrolled as members' of the
club ,are timid bl entering their bird
dogs and making trial of their skill at
this first meet-but that will wear away
as they see other amateurs no more
skilled in dog training than they and
so a successful future evidently opens
out to the club.
Card o£ Thanks,
We.deslre to express our heartfelt
thanks for the kindness of So many
friends and neighbors during the sickness aud death of our sfln, Allie.

The Sentinel's circulation has
gradually grown until now over 1,000
papers are each week sent out from
this office, and we-desire tojcall the
attention of our advertisers to the
better servfee we are giving them with
our large and.steadily increasing circulation in Clare and Northern Isabella counties. The Sentotel goes
weekly into over 130 homes on the
three R. F. D. routes that start out
from Clare besides nearly a hundred at
the post offices at Dover, Herrick,
Colonviile and Loomis with, another
hundred at Harrison and Farwell, hot
to mention, the large home list-.. We
are, however, not satisfied with present attainments and hope to improve
the paper and increase its -.circulation
in keeping ■ with the development of
the surrounding country.

BI6 LAND DEALS.
Clare County Stump .Lands Being Looked After.
Much of the stump lands in Olare
county has been allowed for years
back to become delinquent for taxes
under the prevaling, though eroneous
impression, that '-.hex'were worthless.
But that theory of worthlessness is
now thoroughly exploded and they
are rapidly being bought in for ranches
aud farms and by speculators. Thousands of acres of these lands have .been
bought up for the taxes during the
past few years and many thousand
more have been redeemed by tbe owners.
As an illustration of what is being
done in this direction we cite the fact
that F. W. Hooper of Lansing" together with his attorney,.John Quinn,
of Harrison, paid a visit to the capi-
tol on the 14th inst and incidentally
while there deposited $3,20Q with the
Auditor General for the payment of
back taxes.upon some 3,100 acres of
land in Hamilton township.
So Young To Die. -
The death of Allie, the thirteen-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.' E. E.
Hubel, mere mention of which was
made in last week's issue, is indeed a
cruel blow to the father and mother/
Allie was born in Detroit-but came to -
Olare with his parents when four
years old. Here he attended school
until a year ago when the family
moved to Gladstone and was doing
weil in school there when last February dropsy attacked him. Through,
the months that followed, as, disease '
fastened its hold on him, he became
more and more patient, enduring all
with such christian fortitude as is
seldom seen 4n one so young. *His
thought turned homeward to Olare
and it pleased him so much when his
mother a short time ago brought him
home. But he sank rapidly and last
Thursday answered the call, of' the
death messenger. The funeral occured from the home Sunday morning,
Rev. W. yv. Hathaway speaking words
of consolation to the sorrowing ones,
and the interment was made at Cherry
Grove.
Allie was twelve years, ten months'
and twenty-five days old. Four brothers and,slster8 survlyejiii-q
