About O'Clock on Friday evening Mr.

host of his friends, who wished 10 surprise

presented him with costly rocking chair.

On Thursday Officer George Walters left
for Osceola 10 give evidence in the suit for
rape brought against Beckman by his step
daughter. Yesterday George sent the team
home. and 1t looks in this way, that either
the trial is delayed in coming on, or George,
who is a stalwart and good looking ''bobbie,"
has been appointed chief Of the Osceola
force. We would be sorry 70 lose George
from the force here, as he is good detective.
aud he brings the Dutch to him, because
however hard the case NAV be, he will al
ways fetch prisoner from Dutehtown.
Time and again we have heard it rum ored
that there was to be a new roller skating
rink in the city. First it was to be the Opera
house that was 10 be changed to one, and
now 1t is said that st. Paul parties are nego-
tiating for lot on which to erect one. In
our mind it is very doubtful If the city can
support two. True, the present one is full
oul AuAb - Chiefly ONluR
to good management and the excellent con-
ditiOn in which the rink is kept. No doubt
any one having money 10 embark in such an
undertaking will fully count the cost and be
governed accordingly. The lot spoken OF,
at the corner of Third and Myrtle streets, is
too small, although the location would be
good
The ladies Of Ascension church win hold a
fair Thursday evening at the Roller skating
rink, when only the usual fee will be charged
for admittanee. The band viii be in attend
ance. The proceeds are for the organ fund.
These energetic ladies Will, as usual, have a
large attendance, aud having winning WAYS
with them they are bound to add a consider
able amount to the organ fund. We admire
their spirit as they intend to have an excel
lent organ or none, and from the success
they had at the last entertainment they gave
in the rink, il is only fair to conclude that
they will add a much larger sum at this time.
The articles that will be for sale are useful,
and will be sold at the very lowest figure
Til ere are several choice articles that viii be
rallied for, and many will take a chance, the
ii ekets being low.

ing charge Of the Maennerchor society here,
