Last evening in a large onthusastiac
caucus of young men and the rank and
file of Glare republicans a strong tick*t
Was placed in nomination for the
municipal election April 6th. Both
the city and ward caucuses were, in
the control of the "common people"
and they nominated by ballot just the
men they desired in control of our
City affairs. There wasn't a suggestion of bossism in evidence. No nominating speeches were made. Ballots
were simple'passed out and, everybody
voted just as he .pleased.   •
Dr. A. E. Mulder of the - city committee called the city caucus to order.
Ex-Mayor S. C. Kirkbride was chosen
chairman, 3Trank Brownson, secretary,
and C. H. Van Brunt and Oliver
Becker, tellers. The balloting for
nominees proceeded quietly with the
results as given above. The same
city committee was chosen for next
year as\follows—Frank Forbes, A. E..
Mulder, L. E. Davy.    Immediately
after adjournment the ward caucuses
met. In the first ward J. L. Welch,
was chairman and John Oliver
secretary. James L. Welch, A.
A, Shaver and A. Northey were
chosen ward committee for next
year. In the second ward Philip A.
Bennett was chairman and C. H.
Clark, secretary. Next year's ward
committee was chosen as follows: E.
H. DeVogt, Milton Saxton, Oliver
Becker. In the third ward Dr. Lamb
was chairman and F. I. Boss was
secretary. A, E.LaPierre, Lee Dunwoodie and F. I.'Boss are the next
year's committee.
Lack of space this week forbids individual mention of the nominees but
we invite the dosest scrutiny of these
men placed in nominatiion by Clare
republicans. Particularly we desire
our people to find out the record of
the candidate for mayor, F. B,
Doherty, during tlie two years he
has served as alderman from the
second ward. He has during that
time looked after the city's best interests, proving himself a thorough-going
business man, at all times insisting
that the common sense principles of
business life shall be applied to the
business of. the city admiriistratidn.
The ticket is the creation of vthe
"ordinary members" of the republican
party of. Clare. Let all the voters in-
veste for themselves the standing of
these candidates and vote as they find
them worthy of confidence.
The second meeting of the young republicans of the city at the opera
house Monday evening was. full of enthusiasm with an attendance of about
seventy. The enrollment now numbers ■ sixty-two. It was voted to
adopt the name Young Men's McKinley Club, with the avowed purpose of
securing a permanent organization of
Clare republicans. The younger members of'the party are to be in active
control of the club but all republicans
are invited to membership.' The deliberations of- this organization are
for all republicans and therefore open
and "above board" to all members of
the party.
At the Monday- evening meeting
three selections Were rendered by the
Kirkbride orchestra, City Clerk Mell
Buell sang a song, Lee Dunwoodie and
Alderman D." J. Fox were elected
Seargent-at-arms for the club and
short talks were given by J. T. Nor-
thon, W. S. Cooley and Judge Cahfield
of Harrison. The address Of the evening was made by Ex-Mayor D. E. Alward who was cheered to the echo as
he set forth some of the fundemental
principles of republican doctrine and
policy. A telegram from Pros. Att'y
Cummins was read regreting his inability to be present owing to a criminal case requiring his attention.
The McKinley club is in the interest of the best type of republicanism.
At the meetings no word has been
tittered advocating, the candidacy of
any candidate. It has been the unanimous thought of its members to induce all republicans to be present at
the city and ward caucuses, there to
nominate the very best men as candidates and that purpose has already
been well carried out in the largo attendance and .splendid ticket nominated in the city Wednesday evening.
The details for the program for the
meeting "next Monday evening have
not yet been definitely arranged.
There is to be an important matter to
be presented. All Republicans are invited to be present.

The Organization of a Company-
Endorsed by Our Best
Citizens.
A proposition is now before our
people for the organization of a factory for the manufacture of carriages
in Clare. A gentleman of twenty
years experience in the business is
ready to put in $1,000 and Undertake
the active management of it. A
meeting was held at hotel Calkins
Monday evening when plans for the
organization of the company were discussed. J, W. Calkins was appointed
a committe of one to ascertain what
our people will do in the way of taking
stock in the proposed company. At
least $5,000 must be subscribed before
an attempt to organize the company is
made but $10,000 ought to be raised to
build and properly equip a factory.
Thus far, however, the response has
not been sufficiently free on the part
of those whose business interests are
necessarily wrapped up with the
development of the city.
There is great need in Glare of some
enterprise like the one under discussion. This proposition for the erection of a carriage factory is entirely
fessible. Options on suitable sites
have been obtained. The men who
are pushing the plan for the formation of the company arelevel-headed,
business men. Now is the time for
all, who can, to invest a. little capital
in aiding in the development of our
city.

Our City Band Worthy.
Five months ago a number of our
young men took the first steps in organizing a city band and the work
thus begun has been most industriously pushed ever since. Today the
organization has a membership of
twenty-two. Their instruments are
all paid for. They have music stands
and a reasonable amount of music
with not a cent of debt standing out
but a small balance in the treasury.
In their ranks are business and professional men and hij., 11 school boys.
Dr. A. E. Mulder is their director.
They have practised faithfully, meeting in a body for two hours two and
three nights a week. So marked has
been their progress that all visitors at
their practices are suprised at the
good showing made.
Thus far no help has been asked
from anyone. But April 8th a concert
will be given at the opera house for
the benefit of the band. The proceeds
are to apply to a fund for the purchase of uniforms. It will be the first
appearence of the band in public and
the Sentinel bespeaks for them that
rousing reception that will show them
a right royal support on the part of all
our people.
Tickets are placed on sale this
evening at the post office.

During the month of February there
was a contest on in the public schools
from the fifth to the twelfth grade for
correctness in deportment. It was
made possible through the generosity
of Senator Doherty, who offered to
take one pupil from each grade above
the fourth, to see the state legislature
and capitol at Lansing, the teacher in
each grade to decide who,.on the basis
of correct deportment, was most entitled to the privelege. In turn the
seven chosen were to select by vote a
teacher who was to accompany them.
The contest had a-most excellent
effect. At the end of the month it
was found that in nearly every grade
the deportment of Several pupils was
beyond criticism, so much that the
teacher could not pick out the most
meritorious .one. In such cases the
lucky one was chosen by lot. The
seven thus chosen selected Miss Frances Gibson to accompany them. The
party will go early next week during
the vacation. Supt. and Mrs, Biggs
will accompany them also as the Senator's guests and a number of the high
school expect to go with the party.
Below we give the names of all whose
conduct was most commendable. The
lucky seven are marked with asterisks.

Mt. Vernon Grange.
For some time pastille members of
Mt. Vernon Grange No. 992 have been
talking of building a hall, and last
Thursday they called an informal
meeting for the purpose of fully discussing the- matter and forming a
stock company. They had up to that
time only a few subscribers for stock
but after the meeting they had about
forty and the erecting of a hall seems
a certainty. A site has not as yet
been selected as there are several
offers of sites to select from. But they
will select some place near the Pliini-
sey school. The meeting was called
to order by John Northon and after a
good deal of discussion it was voted to
form a stock company to be known as,
"The Vernon Improvement Company." The following officers were
elected: Pres., John Northon; sec'y,
Morton Brewer; treas., Oscar Northon.
The next meeting will be held Monday night after Grange -meeting.
After business a supper was served
and a program given. Joseph Northon gave a talk on "The future of
the Grange" which proved that although he is not a member he understands and appreciates the work' the
Grange is doing for the farmers. The
program was as follows:
