SALTWATER.

The Universalist church will soon be open
to service.
Mr.. Thomas Wilkerson, of Burlington,
Iowa, is in the city.
Only the regular services were held in the
churches yesterday.
ON. Nelson & Co., are putting a side
track through their lumber yard.
NTrue to its instincts, Of it has any, nature
let out in copious rain again yesterday.
Owing to the very unfavorable state of
the weather there was very slim attendance
at the churches yesterday.
Last week witnessed better order, less
news and probably as much business as any
preceding week the past spring.
There were about 300 drivers came down
Saturday, and the town was quite lively.
The probability is that the police court will
reap rich harvest of cash Monday.
A party of railroad officials paid Still
water flying visit Saturday evening. AS
they only staid an hour or two and did not
register the reporter did not learn much
about them. Mr.. II. II. Porter was one of
the coterie.
The board of education will not take any
action on the applications for the principal
ship of the high schools, until Mr.. McCluer
returns, which will probably be three weeks.
There were over twenty applicants from al
most all over the union.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable state OF
the weather fair house greeted Miss Car
rington with the MeDdelssohn Quintette.
She acquitted herself most creditably, and
those who braved the storm to go will never
regret it-unless they caught cold.
There was little ARRAY, Saturday night,
which escaped the vigilance of the police,
beng beyond their beat. Two hearty young
fellows net out on Western row, about 10
o'clock, and had some words. Two or three
friends soon gathered around them, and
proposition was made by one of the parties
that they eight it out" A ring was soon
formed and they stripped off their coats and
vests and went at it in true GoG5-Ryan
style. Three rounds were fought, and at
the end of the third the man with red hair
''squealed," and the victory was awarded to
his opponent. No bones were broken, but
there was some terrible pounding done.
There is nuisance in Saltwater that has
grown to be uncomfortable, and it is the state
of affairs at the postoffice. When the $3.50
train comes in in the morning crowd soon

be opened. This is perfectly legitimate and
no one objects. But in addition to these
there is crowd of the patrons of the news
depot, cigar shop, fruit store, peanut stand,
confectionery and huckster shop, kept in the
building by the agent of the Pioneer Press.
The reserved seat tickets for all concerts,
theaters, etc., are for sale here also, and on
days preceding these exhibitions the office
is so crowded by applicants for reserved seats
| that ladies cannot gain entrance to the post
Office at all, and are compelled to wait till
next morning for their mail. If the hat
were passed around the amount necessary to
pay the rent of the apartments occupied by
the huckster shops could soon be raised if
| by that means the nuisance could
be abolished. A man with
broad pair of shoulders and
fearless mien may get his mail by hard
fighting, but a lady stands a slim show.
This protest was written by request, and We
are sure the ladies who are in the habit of
going to the postofice for their mail will
sanction every word of it. Let either the
postoffice or the huckster shops find new
