THE sTRAWBOARD WORKS.
To be Completed July 1st, 1891

The Ravenna Fiber Company, about which so
much has been said and written. and concerning
which so many wise conjectures have been made.
has been quietly maturing its plans in the mean
while. and last Friday telegraphed Messrs. Brig
ham & Williams, of this city, that their bid on
the mason work of the building was accepted.
The terms of the proposal require the factory to
be completed by July l. 1891, and Messrs. Brig
ham & Williams will get all the material on the
ground during the winter and do as much of the
work as the weather will permit. Tho building
will be a mammoth one in ground area. and
portion of it will be three stories high. This con-
tract does not include the machine shop or the
box factory. to cost respectively $4,000 and $25.
600. and to be completed by January 1. 1892 and
January l, 1898. 1t embraces simply the Straw
board Works proper. This building alone will
cost $4,000. and with its equipments 100000.
The contracts for the entire plant inside and out
have all been let. and all that is now wanting is
good weather for workmen to commence on the
structure. The building will be so located that
a switch can be laid to both the C. & P. and P &
W. railroads. Over million brick will be re-
quired, which will probably be made here in Ra-

Next Monday closes the season for shooting
quail and grouse. The idea is quite prevalent
among farmers that, even after that time, they
have the right TO catch quail on their own prem
ises. but this is not the case. The law. whether
right or wrong. makes no exceptions of the own
ers of the land upon which the birds may live.
Therefore. if you want any quail, kill them before
next Monday night, and be sure the game warden
or his assistants don't catch you with any in your
possession after that time.

'esents with tea at J. H. Ford's.

Last Thursday evening party of young people
were coasting on the sidewalk at the long hill on
South Prospect street. and during one of their
flying trips the sled struck the end of walk
leading up to residence. and the load of coasters
were thrown with fearful force into what was
literally heap of confusion. Miss Dean Torpey
was picked UP insensible and carried to house
near by. but did not regain consciousness for
several hours. A doctor was called. but it was
not thought advisable to move the young lady
until the following day, when she was taken to
her home. Fortunately no bones were broken
and probably no serious consequences will ensue,
although it was close call.
Curtiss Waterman sprained one of his ankles
very badly at the same place. the same evening.
shortly before Miss Torpey's mishap. He too
was coasting.

A Woman Taxpayer.

Miss Floretta Vining is one of the
largest taxpayers in Hull, Mass, and a
public spirited citizen, who is always do
ing something for the town. Not long
ago she attended the town meeting, as
she wished to call attention to the dis
creditable condition Of the public ceme-
terry. With two Or three exceptions all
the men present were merely poll tax
payers; but this woman, who bore so
large share of the expense Of the town,
had to ask permission to speak in the
town meeting, and could only be allowed
to do so as favor. But Miss Winnings
suggestions were adopted, and $500
was appropriated to repair the cemetery.

The czarina is almost entirely deaf.
When a courier, carrying messages from
her majesty, Augusta Victoria, appeared
before the czarina. lady in waiting
secretly wrote down his message on a
piece of pasteboard, which was handed
to her majesty under cover of fan, and
after she had read it she answered in
quite an unconcerned manner.
So it seems that the royal comedy
which was once played by the blind
George of Hanover, who endeavored by
sundry tricks to keep his terrible Attic
ton a secret, is to be repeated today at
Petershof and Gatschina. In Russian
court circles it is whispered that her
deafness is the result of the terrible rail-
road accident of Borkum, when the det-
onation Of the explosives which were
intended to destroy Alexander and his
family injured her ears. But then her
sister, the Princess of Wales, is likewise
affected with deafness, which leaves the
suspicion Hhat the trouble is hereditary.

Crazed by Hair DYE.

A lamentable case of softening of the
brain has come to the knowledge of few
society people, and it will result sooner
or later in the confinement in private
asylum of beautiful young womanwho
has been favorite in fashionable circles.
She has for several years been addicted
to the dangerous practice Of bleaching
her hair by means of certain powerful
acids, and her mind has become so beri-
ously affected therefrom that her physi-
clans regard her case as incurable.
For several months past her actions
have been so peculiar as to excite thesur-
prise Of those Of her acquaintance who
were unaware Of her mental disease, but
the secret has been carefully guarded by
the family, and very few Of her friends
outside of the home circle know of her
malady.
She was an exceptionally bright girl,
and her misfortune is therefore all the
more to be deplored.- Louisville Post.

The Blouse on Fat Women.

Why will women weighing at least
from 100 to 200 pounds adopt styles that
were never intended for any but grace
full, extremely slender figures? The most
homogeneous sight, and not at all rare
one, is fleshy woman sailing along the
street in an inflated. baggy blouse, and
over that-reaching across the middle
of the back, with sleeves half covering
the sleeves Of baggy blouse-a zouave
jacket, and just as likely as not the
jacket and the skirt made of q large
plaid. It is a noticeable fact that this
blouse waist is worn by more 6eshy
women than by the ones for whom the
style was originally intended. Chicago
