FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
Preparations  Being Made for an
Interesting and lnstauctive
Session.
Wednesday- and Thursday, December 4th and 5th, are the days set for
the farmers' institute to be held at
the opera house in Glare, and from the
preparations being made and the excellence of the speakers secured, we
feel safe in sayintr that this will be
the most successful institute of the
kind ever held in Clare county.
M. L. Dean of the Agricultural
College will be present and will speak
on soils ane farming. Prof. J. A.
Jeffries, of the Agricultural College,
will talk on fruits, and Miss Jennie
Buell of Ann Arbor will conduct the
woman's section.
There is plenty of time ahead for
every farmer to plan to attend these
sessions and he will be amply 'paid if
he follows the valuable suggestions
given. Let every farmer turn out. and
attend these meetings.
Board of Aldermen.
At the recent meeting of the board
of aldermen it was recommended that
the board of public works perfect
their organization look after erection
of power house and report at next
meeting.
The $500 water works bond was extended another year, there being no
money to pay same.
Some time ago it was voted to have
en arc light placed on the county line
near Mayor Danlop's residence. The
Clare Electric Light Co. was ordered
to place the light but the contract did
not so stipulate and this was not done.
An appropriation of $46 was made to
pay for poles and wire and the light
will now be placed.
Aldermen Crouse and Louch, were
appointed a committee of two to investigate the matter of having cells
placed in the water works building.
As this building will always be heated
and comfortable this is an idea which
we trust will be carried into effect.
The street committee were authorized to have ashes put on east

INSPIRATION INSTITUTE.
Clare County Teachers   Have   a
Profitable Meeting at
Farwell,
Commencing last Thursday a three
day inspiration institute was conducted at Farwell by 0. T, Grawn,
principal of the Mt. Pleasant Normal
and G. W. Loomis, superintendent of
the training school of the same institution. It had the largest enrollment and was one of the best institutes ever conducted in the county.
Of the seventy legally qualified
teachers in Clare county fifty-nine
were enrolled and almost all remained
to the very last session. Thursday
evening a reception was given to the
visiting teachers at the home of 0. E.
Bingham and Friday evening an able
address was given by Prin. Grawn on
"Some Problems in Education."
The conductors of the institute
sought to set forth the underlying
principles that should guide the
teacher in his work. The whole series
of meetings were permeated with
"the teaching spirit." The writer of
this report was inspired with this reflection, "I must have more kindness
and sympathy for my pupils. I must
be more charitable for the child whose
home is not the best and whose associations tend to lead him astray."
Com'r Aldrich is to be congratulated in securing such efficient work-
erf and it is to be hoped that one result
of the institute will be to direct the
thought of Clare county teachers to
our Michigan State Normal schools,
particularly Mt. Pleasant because of
its nearness, whenever they shall plan
to take additional training for" the
work of teaching.
Supt. Chaffee of the Farwell schools
showed every courtesy to the visiting
teachers and the Farwell people
treated them right royally.
Com'r Aldrich attended to all the
details of organization and the location of visitors, with his usual genial
kindness." The institute was in every
way a success. Let us have more of
this "inspiration," Mr. Commissioner,
- P. A. B.
The North Michigan Schoolmaster's
Club will meet at Cadillac, Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 29 and 30* A number
of the prominent educators of the
state are expected to be present.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The  Tammany   Blackmailers in
New York City Utterly Routed.
Maryland in  Doubt.      Kentucky
Flops Back to Democracy.
The returnes from the various
states holding elections Tuesday are
exceedingly gratifying to the republicans all oyer the country, as they are
tovall citizens who favor clean government. But that the Tammany gang
in Greater New York are for the time,
and it* is hoped forever, crushed, is
especially gratifying, Seth Low, the
fusion candidate for mayor, was
elected by a 30,000 plurality.
Maryland is in doubt and Kentucky
has gone democratic but every other
state is republican.. Brayan's state
went republican by 7,000.
Benjamin Mates, age, 13 was sent to
the Industrial School at Lansing until
18 years of age unless sooner discharged, by Judge Broadhead Tuesday, on charge of Truancy. It is
generally understood that several
others are being closely watched who
will probably go to the same school
within the next few weeks.—-at. Louis
Republican Leader. We trust a simi-
har notice will not be found in a future edition of the Sentinel, but
would not mislead some parents of
Olare, for some of our youngsters are^
getting dangerously near the capital
city institution.
U. S. TREASURER'S REPORT,
Increase
of
3Tob Sai^e—Part or all of household
goods. Mfis. S. D. RaiOHBLT.V
Resturantr
in  Year's   Revenue
$20,*M,*85.
Hon. Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of
the United States, in his report of the
transactions of his office during the
last fiscal year, says the treasury was
never stronger than at the 'close of
that period. The operations, which
were of the first order both Id variety
and magnitude, resulted in noteworthy changes in tbe paper currency,
as well as a steady and healthful
growth of gold in the general stock.
The net ordinary revenues for the
year were $587,685,337, an increase of
820,444,485 oyer those of 1900, which
were the next highest recorded. The
increase came from each of the heads
ofrecources, but chiefly from internal
revenue. On the side of the expendi*
tures $509,967 has been exceeded only
four times, in 1863,1864, 3865 and 1899.
The surplus of $77,717,984 was slightly
under $2,000,000 less than in 1900. Inclusive of the transactions affecting
the public debt, the aggregate receipts
were $1,146,489,306 and the aggregate
disbursements $1,077,063,032.
For the first Quarter of the fiscal
year 1902 which began July 1 although
the act of March 2,1901 was operative,
reducing the revenue, the receipts
were only $3,417,960 less than for the
like period of 1901, while the expenditures for the same months were reduced by almost exactly $20,00,0,000.
GOLD RESERVE INTACT.
The reserve or $150,000,000 in gold re*
quired by the financial law of 1900 has
been kept intact by the daily substitution of gold coin and bullion* out off
the general fund for the notes redeemed. These redemptions, which*
amounted to $24,697,858 for the year,,
do not indicate any preference for gold
over paper, but simply the desire for
large denominations, which are naosfc
conveniently supplied in gold certificates. After making certain deductions for items not available In general payments, the free cash was.$-156,-
911,664, which was distributed aiiaong:
the ten offices of the treasury and- the
12 offices of the mint, including' $-101,.;-
416,973,- in the national bank depositories. In the first quarter of thes
fiscal year 1902, the deposits in tfees ,
national banks increased $7,09744851
while the available cash balance was
reduced by $6,913,244.
The issue of 2 per cent consols of
1930 in exchange for the loans maturing in 1904, 1907 and 1908, was Continued up to Dec. 31,1900, by which- titse
the total amount of the principal? converted reached $445,940,760. - These
transactions involved the payment off:
an aggregate sum of $45,409,607. ins
money. On April 1 was begun,, uneteir
the order-of the secretary of treasury,
the purchase of bonds of the- sauaes
loans, at a price computed to. eaeas
1,726 per cent. Up to June 30;.,ij!te!
purchases amounted to $14,359,5201 *£
principal, at a total cost of $16,257.,§E&.
By this process, and Under a notice* ©i4
the secretary of the treasury,. Sep**.
10, inviting offers to sell to> the government $20,000,000 of bond* iocludifeg;
the loan of 1925 purchases- wete- ea?r-
ried up to $40,477,990, at an aggjKfga&e
COSt of $49,438,436.
