Clair County. Mich. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY e3 1900
a Business Change.

BY formal notice elsewhere found in
this issue, the dissolution of partner.
ship heretofore existing between Thos
Wharton and John Holden is announc.
| ed, the latter retiring from the firm
These two gentlemen have been associ-
ated In the grain, hay, coal, implements
and other lines Of trade for a period of
nine years. In that long period an i'm
mense volume of business has been
done, and their patrons are numbered
by the thousands, scattered over wide
circle Of territory. These will be sorry
to miss the face of either proprietor
from the old stand.
And the old standl What a history
it has? If we could have detail ac-
count of the tons of hay, the bushels of
grain, the amount of farm produce
bought by the firm in all these years,
how it would astonish us by its i'm
mensity Add to these the vast amount
of material and machinery sold, and
what sum it would make. Think,
again, of the enormous sum of money
that has been paid out and in this same
triangle shaped Office. This plant has
been among the principal financial
arteries through which has come the
blood of business.
This dissolution will not, however,
lessen the volume of trade or its bene-
fits to the community. The business
will be carried on by Mr.. Wharton and
the firm name will be Wharton q Co.
This will not mean a new proprietor,
but one long known by ALL and whose
experience will enable him to meet the
demands of the trade, in all ways that
his patrons needs may suggest. The
public will not have TO learn a new
man, or become reconciled to seeing q
new face. The thousands know "Tom,"
know him as tested by all these years
of business deal, and upon that knowl-
edge they base their trust.
But while all this is unqualifiedly
true, and the business will in nowise
change, yet there will be a lack and
loss by Mr.. Holden's retirement. We
cannot live by man, meet him almost
hourly, have business relations with
him in countless ways, and not miss
him on retirement. The public will
miss John from his place on the tri-
angle; and we should not be surprised
if John would miss the public. We
would be mite surprised if at least
twice a day he does not seek the old
haunts, swap stories with the farmers,
and sort beans to keep up good appe-
tite. One thing John will have, and
take with him over and above the stock
he carries out, the respect, confidence
and friendship gained. This will be
the very best item; and one not meaSur-
ed by dollars; that he will have to enter
on the profit page of the ledger.

Question Answered. .

Yes, August Flower has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers' and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, ,.etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganlc action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Sample
bottles at Grant Holden's drug store.

Would Ii Paw?

Has any one ever investigated the
question of cheap feed barns-ten cent
ones, in which farmers could for a
small fee shelter their teams when
they come to town? What leads us to
think of this is the vast number of
teams found unsheltered ON busy days.
Such a barn would mean humane
treatment for mans noblest beast
friend. Would it be patronized by
farmers? Would many who take the
train to Port Huron, so shelter their
team until their return? And there is
that other all important question,
would such place pay its owner and
keeper? We confess our almost utter
ignorance on this topic; but it can do
no harm for some one to think about
it, and if need be, make all needful in
yestiQations.

VILLAGE CAUCUS.
A Lively Interest Manifested in the
Meeting held at Village Hall
Wednesday Evening.

A Caucus Of the Electors of Yale
Village was held Wednesday evening
in the Town Hall. There was a large
attendance, and the most lively interest
manifest in the business of the meeting.
The contest for positions on the ticket
was quite warm in all the nominations
made, except Treasurer and Assessor,
these being placed on the ticket by ac-
clamation. Another caucus is called
by electors to put in nomination Citi-
zens' Ticket, the notice Of which will be
found elsewhere in this issue.
The officers that presided at Wednes-
day nights caucus are Jamse Wallace,
chairman; f. f. Fead, secretary; ID. a.
McKeith and Will II. Wear, tellers.
Following is detailed report of the
ballots cast.

To the Poor House at Last.

BY the advice of DR.. Mills, the ply
sician for st. Clair county, j. S. Ken
netick has been sent to the County
house for care. While this announce
ment may not occasion surprise to
those who knew him best, yet there
are none who will not feel inexpress-
ible sad. With such superior natural
talent, supplemented with the best ed
ucation attaingble at Ireland's first
university, it is indeed sad ending to
what might have been a brilliant
career. Strong drink, that worst en-
emy of noble and generous souls,
found in him shining mark.

AkrOn's Shame.

The riot and attempted lynching 1T Akron.
Ohio. will be lasting cause for shame TO
that city. The affair. following SO closely
the outbreak of lawlessness in New York
city. has attracted all the moro attention.
In the case OF the Akron riot. however 1t
would seem that the police did their best
to restore order. This is more than can
be said Of New York. The crime which
the Akron mob sought TO punish by lynch
ing is one of the most atrocious In the
category of crimes. but 1t offered no ex-
cuse for the people to take the law into
their own hands. There was no reason,
even. TO believe that the law would not
take its proper course in the case of the
criminal Only the fact that the prisoner
was spirited out of town before the mob
could get at him saved the city from the
disgrace of a public lynching. As 1t is the
city Itself is the chief sufferer. Public rec
ords that cannot be replaced have been de-
stroyed and the money loss to the city Is
considerable and will have to be made good
by the citizens themselves Worst OF all,
the city has lost Its self-respect. 1t was a
costly and Improbable piece of business In
every way.

Words of Wisdom.

Booker T. Washington, orator and edu-
Gator IS one Of the leading men Of the
negro race. He has the best interests of
his people always at heart and his views
on any subject are worthy of considera-
ton. He is an active spirit in the move
ment which has led to the organization Of
the National Negro Business League. In
an address before that body in Boston yes
terday he said:
.'As | have noted the conditions Of our
people in nearly every part Of our country
i have always been encouraged by the fact
that almost without exception, whether in
the north or south, wherever / have seen
black man who was succeeding in his
business, who was a taxpayer and who
possessed intelligence and high character,
that Individual was treated with the high
est respect by the members Of the white
race In proportion we multiply
those examples north and south will our
problem be solved. Let every negro strive
to become the most useful and indispensa-
bic man in his community. A useless, idle
class is A menace and danger. We must
not in any part of our country become dis
couraged Notwithstanding the way often
seems dark and desolate. We must main
tain faith In ourselves and in our country"
These are words of wisdom and should be
taken to heart by every man who is inter-
ested in the welfare and future of the race
In this country.

1t is hard to say which has had the better
of the argument. We have had a wealth
of photographs OF Mr.. Fitzsimmons, each
showing the blow with which he Is going
to knock out his opponent at the particu-
lar moment he selects. He seems to have
a new one for each time OF posing before
the camera. but this evening will tell which
is the right one, providing his plans do
not go astray. Mr.. Sharkey has not posed
quite as often, but honors are about even
when 1t comes to the matter of interviews.
The footsteps Of each are logged by tire
less sleuths of New York Journalism who
have chronicled from day to day just what
each one has weighed before breakfast and
after breakfast what and how often each
has eaten. the changes in the dimensions
of the forearms of each, while every word
that has dropped from the lips OF either
has been cherished and put in red or yell

printed at eight o'clock in the morning.
Mr.. Jeffries will report the battle for one
of the journals OF light and beauty, while
Mr.. Corbett will say the final word for
another.
One Of the principals will have a signed
article in tomorrow's paper, entitled How
l Done Him, While the other Will write on
the subject, How He Done Me-" 1t Is
all very beautiful and SO characteristic.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons before he achieved
greatness was blacksmith. and doubtless
was, as he claims to have been, very
good one. His rival for fame and wealth
learned his profession In Uncle Sans navy,
albeit 1t has been said that more than one
tar. whose name will not go down to his
tory in tn annals Of the ring. gave him his
quietus du ing his term of enlistment. But
the heroic deeds of their later lives have
erased tn blots on the 'scutcheons Of the
two doughty warriors, and today they
stand out before an awe-struck populace
as the greatest things that ever happened
What concern has a true New Yorker
with imperialism. with the situation in
China or the publication of the politics of
his own v onderful town when he has an
opportunit to buy reserved seat close to
the spot where Mr.. Fitzsimmons will biff
Mr.. Sharkey and Mr. Sharkey will bang
Mr.. FitZsimmons? Who can wonder that
the typical resident of New York turns up
his nose at the provincialism of those
luckless individuals who do not abide under
the benign rule of Tammany? Great is the
New Yorker and deserving of all honor.

Traitors and Their Treatment.

Those Englishmen who sympathized with
the Beers in the South African matter
seem to have pursued the same course as
that of those Americans who sympathized
with the Tagalogs In the matter of the
Philippines. They not only spoke In public
words Of cheer for the Beers. but they
wrote letters while IL was yet time to use
the mails conveying information and sus-
eestions designed to be of benefit to the
Beers The correspondence unearthed at
Pretoria and now made public from London
is very much of a kind with that discovered
by General Funston in Luzon and recently
published I'm part by the War Department.
In both patches we find men taking ground
against their own government and giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. Some of the
deiiverances are more discriminating than
Others but all are discreditable to their
authors when judged by the accepted stand
ards of mans duty to his country.
The most extreme offender with us is
man named Severson. in private life and of
no Importance but still an American cit
izen and writing as such to man in arms
against this government. TO that man
SeVersou wrote advising the kidnapping Of
come American officer in the Philippines.
and his execution as a pirate after trial
on such a charge. That. in Severson's
opinion. would emphasize the case of the
Filipino against the United States. and
more securely fix the attention of the out
side world on the nature of the struggle.
He made 1t entirely plain that his own
sympathies were with the Fiipinos, and
that he wished them success.
The most extreme offender among the
Engii n is a member of parliament named
Clark. who, after interview with Mr..
Chamberlain. obtained by virtue of his
Office a legislator. wrote TO President
Kruger giving the opinion that war was
of energetic Boer move in the field In
time to check the English. And the move
suggested by this Engiishmar-that of seiz-
ing the important mountain passes leading
into the Transyaa-was not only taken,
but the Beers even pushed on far into
British territory
The agftators declare that governments
are growing harder and more tyrannical
all the time. and that the United States is
yielding to the same malign influences. And
yet in cases like these exposure is the only
penalty inflicted. There have been times
In England within the past fifty years
when a man like Clark would have been
dealt with in a very different manner and
bow. in Jackson's time and under the m
spiration of Jacksons influence such a
man as Severson would have Jared in this
Country needs no particular pointing out.

While All the World Wonders.

In Greater New York today all eyes are
conferred on Coney Island, and interest in
the latest murder mystery and in the fight
between Croker and CoIer has dwindled
almost 10 the vanishing point. There is
nothing to absorb the attention of the
people OF the metropolis but 1.-THE meeting
this evening between two gentlemen. each
of whom thinks that with a right Jolt or a
left swing he will be able to put the other
to sleep. Mr. Robert Fitzsimmons and Mr..
Thomas Sharkey enjoy world wide repu-
tations in their particular line of business
and each has an army Of followers who
will back their favorite with their cheers
and their money.
That small section Of New York's popu-
lation which does not take deep and abid-
ing interest in the so-called manly art of
sslf-defense will doubtless be glad when
the vexed question as to which Is the more
accomplished fstic artist Is settled. for the
time being at least. There are but few of

foreigners could be killed. With one hand
she sent vegetables to the besieged people
With the other she sent bullets to kill
them. 1t has apparently been a case OF
keeping her right hand in ignorance OF
what her left was doing. The facts will be
revealed some day and the empress will
pay q penalty commensurate with the Of
Tense. She is ALREADY partially paying
the penalty. She has had to fly from the
imperial palace. and what greater could be
the first humiliation? On the other hand.
IL 1t should be proven that the world has
done the empress an injustice the United
States will no doubt be among the first
countries to see that she does not suffer
longer. There is a prospect now that the
civilized world may decide that China has
no stable government and no present au-
thorities capable of maintaining one This
decision would mean the overthrow of
the empress and her family and influence
and the substitution OF possibly Chinese
for a Tartar government.

The HaIf-Alfye Issue.

In his speech accepting the popullst nom
ination Bryan demonstrates that the Chi
cage platform issues, especially free silver
and free riot. are much alive that there
is no reason why any one who voted for
him in 1895 should refrain from doing so
In 1900. 1t seems to follow that no one who
on these issues voted against him in 1895
should vote for him in 1900. But perhaps
silver coinage at 10 to 1 Is alive only In
populistio circles and defunct within the
borders Of democracy, or buried and for
gotten in the east while full of vtgor in the
silver-producing west. However. as Bryan
might eloquently remark, no issue can long

The Question of the Hour.

No more the tariff question sounds
Through and above the eager crowds;

In echoing phrases from the clouds.

At least that's what some topers say
The silver question. too, it's said,
Is surely doomed to pass away.
But there's one question which you find
Discussed since language first began;
Twill agitate the human mind
Throughout the worlds allotted span.

And hearts, and sometimes ships, are

Placing q Ban ON Cigarettes.
From the Utica Press.

Those who do not indulge in them regard
cigarettes about tho nastiest things In
the world. Many good people are addicted
to them. but the best authorities agree
that 1t is the most pernicious and dangerous
phase OF the tobacco habit. Some time ago
the officials OF the Rock Island railroad
from using cigarettes. The other day the
Burlington route took similar action. It Is
not a matter of sentiment, but OF business.
with them. They do not prohibit the use
than that In their opinion 1t Is deleterious
and detrimental to the welfare Of their en-
ployes and the service they can render. II
railroad men take this view Of 1t why
should not others follow the same example
II the cigaretteiess man can do better work
for q railroad then he can do better work
in a store, office, shop or factory II rail-
roads think they cannot implicitly depend

make all other employers suspicious.

From the New York Times.

There can be question about the awful
nature of the thing the anti-imperialists
see. Be 1t spook or actual, 1t inspires them
with such terror that they are willing to
vote for the candidate Of populsm and re-
pudation to brighten 1t away. Mr.. Shep-
