Owing to the recent atfliction in the
family OF the mayor-elect, the organiza-
ilon Of the new city government, which
should have taken place last Monday
evening was postponed tor one week.
William Baxter is gong out of the
livery business and Hans Larson and
Fred Alien have made arrangements to

The youngest child of Mr.. Jens Peter
son, a little boy aged tour years, died of
scarlet fever Friday morning, and was
buried Saturday afternoon. Several
members OF the family are i'll with the
same disease, but at present are doing
we'll.

j IL. Brannon is feeling very proud
just now over the foaling of colt by
his pacing mare Jessie Green, and out OF
the trotting morse Hamnut. If the colt
develops the characteristics OF sire or

The very promising prospects Of
spring weather got caught in blizzard
OF rain and snow last Sunday, and the
ground was covered with the beautiful to
the depth Of three or four inches Mon
day. While the weather condition was
not desirable for comfort it assures
plenty of moisture for the early spring

Our community was saddened by the
death of Nellie Thayer, which occurred
Friday, April 7th. About three weeks
ago she was taken with scarlet fever.
and although the disease assumed
serious form, hopes We're entertained OF
her recovery until within short time of
her DEATH She was bright, talented
and atfectionate child. a general favorite
with all and will be greatly missed by a
large number of companions. The fun
eral was attended from the home Sab
bath afternoon. The family have been
sorely afflicted. Nellie being the second
child taken with this dread disease.
They certainly have the sympathy Of the
entire community.
The Review last week chooses to regard
The election of Capt. Smither as al
victory for wide-open policy. This as
sertion will be taken with many grains
of allowance when it is considered tha,
the Review, which has always been re-
cognized as the local organ Of the liquor
interests SO very strongly opposed his
election, and from the further fact that
it has been asserted upon pretty good
authority that the Reviews candidate
was pledged 10 the saloon system il elect
ed. Now as our neighbor has always
been in favor Of the wideopen policy, and
as lie claims the mayor elect is of the
same mind, he ought 10 be satisfied, but
he isn't.
