Perhaps its wrong to play base ball on
Sunday, but there are so many things
permitted openly in our city, SO much
worse, that the Agricultural society is
straining the eye of the needle by
refusing the use of their grounds for
that purpose.
The Board of Review closed its labors
Wednesday after very quiet session.
They found every piece of property on
the roll and excellent judgment shown
by the assessor in the valuation of
property. The change of assessor will
prove to have been the needed thing.
Brothers of the deceased Charles
Corcoran will soon commence action
against the I. B. Scott Lumber Co. for
the sum of $4,000, as his death was
caused by the neglect and carelessness
of their employees. They have been
looking up proof ever since his death.

A visit into the rooms over the First
National Bank will usually find Mr.. E.
P. Arpin and F. L. Tibbits at their
desks busy attending to the work of
their office. The Arpin Lumber Com
pany have their Office in the front
rooms while the Wilbur Lumber Co.
have the rear rooms formerly occupied
by Geo. L. Williams. They are light,
roomy and nicely papered and painted
making very pleasant quarters.
Starting off to summer resort, or
for weeks fishing, or upon a tramp
with gun, or TO visit your relations in
the country, there is one companion
that you will not regret taking with you
a copy of the July Cosmopolitan. 1t
contains wide range of subjects for
summer reading-twenty-two articles,
mostly illustrated. Stop at your news
dealers and carry away copy of this
splendidly illustrated monthly.
A certain schoolma'am who has been
teaching in one of our rural dIstri cts
was obliged to cross creek on her
way to and from the school. One
morning the bridge was flooded by
high water and she was obliged to
wade. When she reached the bridge
several young men were on the opposite
side of the stream. Several plans came
into her mind, but she finally raised
her skirts and waded across in spite of
the young mems presence.
Mr.. w. c. Martin finished decorating
DR.. O. I. Hougen's residence Friday
last. Since the Doctor purchased this
home he has made many valuable
changes, including the addition of a
large kitchen. The wing part has been
changed and designed in such a manner
as to make it model in every respect.
The interior of the whole house has
been painted, oiled and papered with
the most expensive designs in wall
paper The work has been nicely done
and for the extra outlay of money DIR.
Hougen now has as neatly furnished
and homelike a residence as there is in
the twin cities. The Doctor and his
estimable wife are fully deserving of
their pleasant surroundings.
