The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1892-1907, 1892-06-11

Col. Flowers, of Helena, Mont. was
in town Thursday, on business. He
expressed himself as well pleased with
the country and the town and may re-
turn to make this his home.
We are not in the habit of kicking.
and we don't want the dear people to
accuse us of it: but We are getting tired
Of the everlasting smell of paint, which
pervades our usually flower scented at
mosphere. And anonther thing that
annoys us is the way the streets are
blocaded by material for building
sidewalks. But the people of this place
are not satisfied unless they are doing
something to improve their homes and
make things look good.
Why can't the citizens of C9ur d.
Alene join issues with the good people
Of Fort Sherman and have a grand
never-to- be forgotten good time on the
Fourth of July. The pavilion
will afford ample room for all
the dancers, and not be crowded. Now
is the time to talk the matter up, it is
less than month until the great
natal day, and that is little
enough time. We have room enough to
entertain all who may visit us. The
large and commodious hotels afford
better accommodation than any other
resort in the North West
W. $. Bridgman, of Harrison, left
that place in f!utter of excitement
saturday afternoon, the cause of his
departure was a mystery TO to the boys,
but il was all explained Monday, when
he returned with wife. She
was Miss Clara +. Bingham. of Wa
dena, Ind, where she is favorably
known. They were married Sunday
afternoon, in Spokane. where she had
come TO meet him. On their arrival
home, whispers Were heard of arrange
ments FOR charivari, and when dark
ness enshrouded the earth and silence
reigned supreme, a crowd suddenly
appeared before the resting place of the
bride and groom, and commenced to
make life burden and night hideous,
which they continued until late in the
morning. Such actions are relics of
barbarism that should be eliminated
from modern society, and we hope that
the life of the bride and groom will
never again be disturbed by anything
so disagreeable, but that theirs may
be life of prosperity and happiness.
There is at present no church bell in
town, and an effort is to be made to
place one in the Epicopal church. The
deSirabibity of such bell must be
evident to all those interested in the
good of the town. Its peal will mark
the presence of Sunday for every one.
They will remind christians of all
denominations of the services in the
various churches. 1t will also be of
use on purlic occasions Of all sorts:
such as the Fourth of July, Washing
toms birthday, and if necessary. in time
of fire. The Epicopal church has no
bell, and rs Mr.. Page has unusual
opportunities for obtaining bell at
the very lowest cost. this Is mdoubt-
ally the best present occasion FOR get
ting bell. II is hoped that every one
viii give something 10 make it a town
bell. The smallest subscription vii, be
acceptable. In the vcstry room of the
Episcopal church there is at present the
largest public library in town; and it is
proposed TO allow all subscribers to the
bell Of 500 and upwards the free use of
this library for the coming year, subject
of course to the library rules. All sub
scriptions may be handed to Mr.. Frank
Bgistow or 10 Mr., Page
