The Fourth of July celebration
passed off pleasantly and success
fully. A 600 pound cannon was
procured and secretly at night with
teams drawn to the summit of Mt.
lego and at 3 a. m. opened its deaf
ening music which it kept up at in
tervals during the da, to the great
credit of those who procured and
worked it. The procession at II a.
M. was made up of all specimens of
humanity. The horrid part was
best represented by the riders and
John Gibson's team. The beautiful
by the six red, white and blue young
ladies in the evergreen team and the
medium by the road machine and
the frog team. All the above named
took prizes. Oscar Harding took
the prize for the fastest bicycle and
Will Birch for the slowest. Bert
Harlow took the running prize.
The crowd adjourned to the grove

hour or two with patriotism by the
speakers and singers, after which
most of the people found their way
to the ball ground to witness Il very
interesting game between the West

DIR. Boyden was living in the
south during the initiation period and
one year raised thousand head of
cabbages, for which he received one
thousand dollars. He bought Il
mule. paying 5000, and so the prices
ruled. He thinks it rather strange
that the southern people after such
an experience should want to make
another doubtful financial expert

BATH ROOM APPLIANCES.

BATHROOM APPLIANCES.
The great improvement made in
this line of goods during the past
two years has made Gas Stoves for
summer Use supersede coal oil or
gasoline stoves wherever gas can be
used.
The safety and economy of their
use is apparent, there being no
smell, no SCOT, smoke or explosives.
For cooking they excel all kinds
of summer stoves, having a uniform
itv of heat that cannot be obtained
from oil or gasoline. The degree of
heat can be controlled without
trouble, and the stove left to do its
work with perfect safety.
These stoves can be seen at the
store of E. +. WARDwELL, who will
take orders to furnish any kind not
in stock, which can be supplied on
few days notice.
