■A
FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION.
6000   Visitors.*- Orderly   Crowd,
>5plendid Program, Every body-
Had A Good Time,
* After ten years of waiting the
American Eagle again put in an appearance at Clare on the event of the
one hundred and twenty-seventh birthday of the American nation and the
committee who had the celebration in
charge as well as our citizens in general may well congratulate themselves
on the complete success of tbe occasion. The weather was propitious
and everything moved off as per previously announced program. A conservative estimate places the number
of visitors at 6,000, but in spite of there
being 8,000 people in Clare it was one
4)f the most good natured and well behaved crowds tbat ever congregates in
any nlace. Everybody was bubbling
ever witb the Fourth of July spirit
but there was but little evidence of
the degenerate life, too often incident
to such an occasion. True it was that
the marshal had to arrest one man
who w,as just a little too gay, that the
dignity of his office might be maintained and another man had to get a
little knee linament because of a sky
rocket exploding at the wrong place,
"but the entire day but exhibited anew
the national exultation of spirit of a
people, conscious of its innate power,
with its government founded on the
eternal entities of righteousness and
truth."
The parade was one of the finest,
■unique floats and allegorical designs
portraying the various industries,
trades and business Arms of the city,
Space forbids tne detailed description, but the Conglomerate Band from
the outskirts under the leadership of
Alderman Major Doherty was the
feature of tbis number of the program,
witb several little girls dressed as
jdames of some other age also attracting marked attention.
The morning ball game between Shepherd and Evart was won by the former
by a score of 12 go 10. The afternoon
game between Mt, Pleasant and Midland was won by Mt. Pleasant by a
ignore of 0 to 9, Midland especially her
jrooters, played a good game but the
Mt, Pleasant's prowess was too mucb
for them. It was a good clean game,
well played and carefully followed by
the 3,000 spectators.
The sports were followed with great
interest, the pie eating contest and
the water fight causing lots of amusement.
The vaudeville was watched by
many interested spectators. Clare,
Midland, Farewell and Dover bands
discoursed sweet music and a grand
array of fireworks was a fitting climax
for a day so full of glad acclaim,
"Lest We Forget."
Let us while still the din of the up-
to-date Fourth of July celebration
reverberates in our ears ponder well:
"That all men are created equal, That
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights;
That among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" and
some one bas recently said "the right
of education;"
"That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

ANNA CURTIS SET AT LIBERTY.
$3,000 Bail, Released This Morning, Is Now With Her Parents In Clare.
Anna Curtis, wbo since June 21 bas
been held at tbe county jail at Harrison charged with tbe murder of Fen-
nal Paradie on the afternoon of June
19th, was given her freedom this morning, released on $3,000 bail with
Nathan Bicknell, John Dunlop and
J. W. Calkins as bondsmen, each qualifying for $3,000.
As narrated in the Sentinel last
week, at the hearing before Justice
Maynard July 2d the accused girl was
held for trial in the circuit court at
Harrison in September. A justice of
the peace cannot admit a person
charged with murder to bail, but under certain restrictions a circuit judge
may do so. Accordingly the attorneys
of the respondent in this case made
application to Judge Dodds of the
circuit court to release the girl on bail
and on Monday of this week a hearing
before the Judge was quietly bad in
the Althouse office in Clare. After
taking the matter under advisement
the Judge decided to grant the request
of tne attorneys and issued the order
designating the amount of bail.
County clerk Morrisey accepting the
qualifications of the endorsers filed
the bond in the clerk's office, and the
order for the girl's release was filed
with Sheriff Updegraff Wednesday
evening and she is now at her home in
Clare.
With the array-of talent engaged
for the respondent, the trial in September promises an interesting legal
battle. The evidence is all circumstantial. At the hearing the prosecution aimed only to introduce sufficient evidedce to secure the girl's being
held for trial, as set forth in tbe
synopsis of the testimony published
in this paper last week. On the
other hand the defense contented
itself with a rigid cross-examination of
the witnesses called. It appears to be
an important point whether or not the
prosecution can prove that it was
carbolic acid that caused the marks on
the tongue, lip and chin of the accused
girl. There were four persons in or
close to the house when the murdered
baby's condition was first discovered-
Mrs. Paradie, Mrs. Curtis, Anna Curtis
and a boy oh the front stoop. Just
what theory, if any, the defense will

put fortb does not appear, but the
question repeatedly put to Mrs.
Paradie, "Have you anything further
to say about the facts and circumstances in this case?" with the rest; of
the suggestive cross-examination to
which irrs. Paradie was subjected,
may possibly suggest an intent on ohe
part of the defense.
Anna Curtis is a very precocious
child, especially in the mastery of language and in dealing with people older
than herself. She has been a great
reader and tbis year a member of the
sixth grade of the public schools with
a good record in all subjects except
geography. She has been a member
of the m. k. Sunday school also and iu
the interval between now and the trial,
in a compartively small community
like Glare, it is well to keep in mind
that the law pre-supposes every accused person innocent until he Is
proven guilty by the regular process
of law.

A Coniraunic-a'tion.
Editor of Clare Sentinel.
My Dear Sir:—In your issue of last
week there appeared a few lines that;
pleased me. It was from; a person-
signing himself "a stock holder" and
gives evidence of the awakening of
the farming community. I meet it
frequently, and in stirring expressions^.
Awealthy"and very thorough farmer
said to me the other dav, "The Creamery is a God send to any community
wt ere such prices can be secured for
stock as we get here. "Why,",said:hey
"at the price that is being paid for
butter my milk will net me from 65c
to 70c per hundred pounds right at m?,
door and no hauling to be paid for audi''
my skim milk is worth at least 30c
per hundred pounds.
Why do we not as farmers talk up*
and stand by that which is the very
life of our own existence? Le;o us de
all we Can for our cheese factories an-i
creameries as an absolute neeessitj*
for our prosperioy. 4 .
