William Mitchell, a ''view" artist is ''tak-
ing'' some of the many beautiful spots about

natural beauty.
James Mapleton, the man who was found
by the police with a deep cash across the
calf of his leg, and too drunk to tell any

all right at the hospital. He now states that
adarky slashed him, but the police are I'M
able TO lay hands on the colored carver.
The Congregational society has decided to
engage Mrs. A. b. Howe as organist. The

effect of the fine vocal music rendered at this
church.
The knitting factory is now in full blast

Manawa grounds Sunday afternoon, when

league, a fine game may be expected.
The Broadway paving is torn up again at
the corner OF Bryant street for the purpose
OF making sewer connections with the mar
ket of George H. Meschendorf. This con-
tinual tearing up of the pavement and the
subsequent settling that is sure to follow is a
short time after it is replaced is one of the
ottoDBeSJ arguments tlau can De advanced
in favor of having all this work done before
n street is paved.
One OF the neatest and most unique things
gotten up in the way oil decoration on
Wednesday, and which caused general re-
mark, was that exhibited by ex-Alderman
Wells. Upon the broad slope forming the
base of the terrace at his residence, on Oak
land avenue, was the name of Wells, wrought
in large letters made of white and carnations.
Upon the broad bank of green the effect was
most pleasing.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
Saturday, the cricket match between the

All lovers OF cricket are requested to go over

So far as the Burlington and Rock Island
roads are concerned, the Manawa crossing
question is finally settled, as contracts have
been signed by the officials of both these
roads and Mr.. Reed, of the motor company.
The crossings will be put in Just as soon as
the necessary timbers arrive. The Milwau-
kee has not yet accepted any proposition, and
it is reported that a man is kept at their
crossing to see that no move is made to tear
up their track. 1t is hoped that they will no
longer hold back, but will agree to accept
reasonable terms, as have the other two
companies.
