Sadie, the seven year Old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Wright, of 705 Stewart
street. died Tuesday. The child had had
the diphtheria and although they supposed
she had recovered, no public funeral was
held. the interment taking place yesterday
rmorning.
Partitions have been changed about In
the Office of the M. q. freight house In such
a way as to give the clerks considerable
more room for their work, Mr. Glasgow,
whose work takes him away from the Office
most of the tinae, believing that they needed
the room more than he did Ia his private
Office.
An editor nowadays does not expect to
have his paper paid for In farm produce;
but II does cause pleased look to spread
over his face when subscriber comes In,
and after paying year in advance, presents
him with basket of choice eating apples,
as Mrs. Mary Payne did at this Office, Sat
urday.
Geo. w. Devereaux has exchanged back
the large farm near Ovid which he secured
last spring, for the livery stable formerly
run by hihn for years. He takes back his
Mason street residence also. and will soon
move back into 1t. We are glad to have
Mr.. Devereaux and family back in the city
with us.
The probabilities now are that the work
OF the Chipmaa drain on the west side will
soon be let. The ID. &. M. lily. authorities
and Com. Mason have come to an under
standing regarding the culyert, and it is not
probable that any further misunderstanding
will arise. The matter has been under
Roadway for more than two years.
Chas. j. Shaw was wearing the biggest
kind of smile Wednesday morning, and it
wasn't caused by the fact that Castree d
Shaw had shipped a new hay press to North
Star that morning either, though that might
have helped little, but the story was told
by the remark, "Guess I've got right to
smile when big ten pound boy came to
my house last night"
The water which has been pumped
through the mains this week came from the
regular wells, and Supt. Cossitt says he does
not think il will be necessary to use any
other than the regular water in the future.
About three feet of water has been put in
the reservoir and will be left without dis
turbing 1t for from four to six weeks in or
der to give the cement ample time to set.
Two handsome new stands of quartered
oak were seen upon the Baptist church pull
pit platform for the first time last Sunday.
They are gifts of Frederick Coll, who rep
resents the Estey Manufacturing Co. in New
York City, and who noticed while here a
short time ago that he could greatly i'm
prove the appearance of the platform In that
way, and later sent them on to Mr.. Chas. E.
Rigley to be presented to the church.
The Estey Manufacturing Co. commenced
on Wednesday to make some extensive
changes in their power plant. The old pair
of boilers will be taken out and new pair
larger than either of the pairs now in use
will be put in the place of the old one.
Before this change is made the larger boil
ers now in use will be connected with the
new chimney and the probabilities are that
smoke can be seen coming from the big
chimney next week. The steam producing
capacity Of the plant will be considerably
increased by the changes.
