The assistant teachers for the LII
moille Central Academy the coming
year will be Miss Dora Fairbanks
and Miss Mary Taylor. Miss Fair
banks needs no introduction, having
been connected with the school for
several years, and during all of that
time has given excellent satisfaction.
Miss Taylor is a sister of Rev. T. C.
Taylor of this place. She is a grad
uate of Smith College and has had
large experience in teaching in Massa-
chusetts. With Prof. Villas at the
head of the institution, aided by
these experienced teachers, the COM
ing school year will be one of the
best in its history. Read the adver-
tisement elsewhere.
The trustees changed their plans
somewhat as regards building the
dam on the Pratt site and on Sat-
day last let a contract to Mr.. Chas.
Dague OF Essex to put in q stone
dam. The agreement calls for a dam
Of solid masonry laid in Portland
cement, Is feet wide at the base. 6
feet at the top and % feet high, for
which the sum of $1,000 will be
paid. Mr.. Dague is an experienced
contractor as well as practical
mason himself and will devote his en-
tire time to supervising the work.
: He had force of men on the ground
, Tuesday and the work is now going
rapidly on, and will be pushed with
, all possible speed to completion.
There is q substantial sound to a
, stone dam, and We think no mistake
has been made.
Chas. Hyde was arrested Sunday
for drunkenness and placed in the
Cooler" where he remained in du-
rance vile until Monday, when he was

mitted the charge stating that he
met Hyde Sunday morning and on
his complaining of not feeling well, he
gave him pull at his bottle. Fine
and costs for Williams $21 Sc.
Mrs. Jennie Riley, whose illness we
noted last week, died Saturday even
ing. Although able to be about until
until within three or weeks, she has
long been afflicted and for years bore
sufferings with patience and forti-
tude. Mrs. Riley was native of
Franklin county and was 40 years
old. For several years she has lived
in this vicinity, not being able to
stand the climate of Salt Lake City,
where her husband is employed as a
railroad engineer. She leaves one
son, Charles, who resided here with
her. Mrs. Riley was a woman of
, kindly affection and a good neigh
bor Possessed of a rare alto voice,
she greatly aided the church services
by her singing. In this direction as
we'll as in many other ways will she
be greatly missed. The funeral took
place from the residence of her sister,
Mrs. A. L. Goddard, Tuesday alter
noon; Rev. f. C. Taylor officiated
and the remains we're buried here.
A. N. Camp, for a short time en-
ployed in the post-office here, is now
located in Chicago. In remitting a
subscription for this paper, he writes:
| am getting along nicely. There are many
things here OF interest to me and as | have
Saturday afternoons off it gives me a good
chance TO see the sights, more so as have q
bicycle and can go a long distance in a short
time. There are between so and 40 miles of
boulevard in the city, and it is not much
effort to propel bicycle There are many
small towns around, so quite often we ride
out of the city for few miles to some town
and return some other way On the 4th,
five OF us rode to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin,
50 miles. The roads are very good indeed;
not many hills until we reached the northern
part of this state. 1t does seem as though
every one here has q wheel of some sort.
There are thousands of people who ride to
their business in the morning and return at
night on their wheels. Bloomers and knck-
erbockers are right in it, and the woman who
rides with skirts is made more fun of than
the one with bloomers. You have to look
twice to tell whether it is a male or female
who is riding, and sometimes you get left
then. The Ferris wheel is being put up on
the North side and is expected to be ready
for use about the middle OF August Kindly
regards to all my friends in Hyde Park.
