from the Union House and will reopen
this hotel. Visitors will fluid the place
greatly changed in many respects, and FOR
the better.
The bar-room has been reduced in size,
thus allowing little room for loafers. In
the rear of the bar-room baggage room
has been made with side entrance to it,
SO that wagons can be driven up to she
door and the baggage delivered without
being carried through the passage ways.
In this room has been placed stationery
wash bowls and other conveniences.> An
assistant has been especially employed to
look after the baggage of guests, and to

The kitchen, this most important part
of hotel, has been improved by having
put into it a new Mott Defiance Range, of
extra large size, which will be of ample
size to cook for the largest number Of
guests the house can possibly entertain.

carpet lining and cedar moth paper, and
the steps covered with metallic carpet
protectors. The walls have all been re-

stands and bureaus. The beds have patent

one of the best tables of any hotel in this

have been engaged and every arrangement
made for a largely increased business.

hotel by Mr. Z. some twenty years ago, and
