voyage through life, as do hosts Of others
In the city and county, where the groom
is 80 well and favorably known.

do well to look after things of value.
One night last week the Schaffner resi-
dence on tire west side of the track
which is undergoing some Improvements

taken. Saturday evening Whipple's
meat market on First Street was broken
into and several chickens. numerous cans
Of lard, and two large hams taken.
Many others report their wood piles as
diminishing at very rapid rate, even
much faster than this extremely cold
snap Of weather would warrant.

Engineer Redman came IN on Satur-
day from inspecting the reservation ditch
to note the damage done by the freshet.
He reports that there are few little
breaks but the repairs can all be made in
two or three days. This is splendid

was filled to the caps OF the banks with
water. Agent Erwin is to be congratulate
ed upon the successful issue OF his un-
dertaking.

without considerable pain and the con-
temptation of very sore tongue.
