Haverly's United Mastodon MINISTRIES
are pronounced by the press to be the
best minstrel show ever organized. 1t
contains the greatest Ethiopian stars,

We understand that the school board
propose shortly to erect a new school
house-not Of any great dimensions,
however-for the accommodation Of
the overflow Of scholars, which Is such
at the present time that there is hardly
room for all in the main building. The
new edi6ce will probably be erected on
the old school house grounds.
Constable Nolan arrested a man
named Chas. Fisher, last evening, on u
charge Of stealing a coat, the property

seventy-five cents. The article was
restored to its owner, and Fisher con-
signed to the county Jail to await trial.
Mr.. Charles Kimme proposes shortly
to not only repair and put in good con.
dition the old boats formerly on Lake
Minnehaha, but to add some new ones,
both sailing and row-boats. This will
be a good thing for our pleasure-loving
people, and we are glad to hear that
this step is about to be taken. The
lake is now full again to almost its
original proportions, and will probably
remain 10 in the future.
Messrs. Blakely & Albright, of the

coffee. n loaf of bread, and one cod
fish. They will also take down about
sixty or more shot guns, pistols, etc.,
together with the city cannon A
well appointed freight train will follow
to bring back the frogs and other game
which they expect to get away with.
They have probably taken along too
much bread and Goldfish, and not
enough fluid.
