year to get out SO issues of paper !;
that's work. Once in a while some
body pays him a years subscription;
that's capital and once in while
some "sun of a gun" of a dead beat

A country wagon filled with
young people was driven noisily
about the public square on last Tues
day evening while the band was
playing, greatly marring the enjoy
ment of those who came to listen to
the music. We suppose it was
through thoughtlessness, but such a
thing should not be allowed TO hap

The City Band Concert did not
nave as large an audience as usual
on Tuesday night because of the COM
mencements and other counter at
fractions, but the hearers made up
in appreciation what they lacked in
numbers. All the selections were
well rendered, especially the bari
tone solo by Mr.. Clarence Darby.
Mr.. Darby gained great credit for
himself and instructor and was re-
warded by liberal applause, and
profusion offowers. The program
next week will be very interesting as
it is made up in part of patriotic Sc
lections, and because the soloist of
evening is Prof Luscomb, who al
ways gives the greatest musical treat
of the season. Following is the pro-

Here's a specimen of Cleveland IS
boosted morai courage Through the
influence Of q real estate syndicate Of
Washington City, Congress passed a
bill appropriating 100000 to build a
new and ornamental bridge over a
creek which runs near Mr.. Cleve-
lands country residence, near the
city. There was no necessity in the
world for this appropriation. There
was good substantial wooden bridge
already over this creek, and the idea
of building new $4,000 bridge
would never have been heard of if
the real estate syndicate before men,
toned had not bought all the prop
erty adjacent to Cleveland's place on
the other side of the creek. Cleve-
land knew that this appropriateness
made for the benefit Of spectators
and himself. Did he veto the bill !?
Not he. Neither had he courage
enough to sign it. He allowed it to
become a law without his signature.
Had it been bill giving pension of
81 or S. month to the poor widow
of some soldier, he would have ve-
toed it quick enough.
