Six lots spoken for already in the

nice piece of ground, just walk up on

Frank school, Pearl street has been
opened and new walk is going down.
James Rasmussen who was arrested
for drawing knife on certain gen.
tleman in this city Thursday was taken
before Justice Slater Friday. The
charge there made against him was
that of drunkenness. He was fined $40
and costs but being unable to raise the

days in the county Jail.
Chester Allen very pleasantly enter
tanned a number of his friends at his
home on Park place Friday evening.
There were about twenty five of the
young friends of the host present. The
evening was spent in dancing. Be-
tween the hours Of eleven and twelve
delicate refreshments were served,
after which the dancing continued for
some time.
A very exciting tip over occurred at
the corner of Main and Market streets
Friday evening. A young lady accom-
panied by three little children was
turning the corner as a heavy dray
wagon was approaching from the
south. A collision followed, which
left the carriage in bad condition and
it's occupants scattered over the high
way. The accident was probably due
to the young lady's carelessness, as she
was driving with no special attention
to where she was going. Fortunately
no one was hurt.
A very lively and interesting war of
words took place on Main street Fri
day evening. The causus billi" was
evidently slight difference of opinion,
and the effect was most hearty ex-
change of compliments. One said that
he would punch the other if he had
gloves on, and the other responded
that he would sue him if he was worth
a cent. Then the first party informed
the second party that he was troubled
with water on the brain, to which the
second party retorted that his trouble
was he couldn't think until some one
else thought for him. The converse
uion continued in this merry strain
until the dusk of evening reminded the
two that it was time to go home.
The big chimney on the Aliens Sons
tannery building was completed today.
1t reaches into the air 200 feet, and
towers above all the other high ones,
keeping it's head clear Of the smoke
and SCOT belched from the mouths of
it's lofty companions. It's completion
has been celebrated by visitors, several
of whom have sought to tread the dizzy
steep to the summit. Only one OF
these, however, has as yet proven suf-
ficiently venturesome to reach the top.
An iron ladder has been built up the
inside of the monster with crevices
every fifty feet large enough to hold
one person in sitting posture. Miss
Lilly Isermann accomplished the climb
Friday and today Miss Belle Cumiskey
looked out over the city and surround
ing hamlets from it's cloud piercing
heights
Work on the government pier has at
last been completed. The last frag-
ments we're cleaned up Thursday night
and all reports compiled Friday. To-
day the place is deserted by all who
have been seen there almost daily for
the past few months. The work that
has been done consists of a 25O-foot
extension to the south pier, bringing it
into % feet of water; and three hun
dred feet of repairs on the old pier.
New piles were driven in several places
and the whole thing has been protected
by a wall made impervious to sand and
practically to water also. Considera-
BILE delay has been occasioned from
time to time by the Intervention of
unfavorable circumstances. For some
time the weather prevented all work
on the extension and the lack of timber
also caused a brief delay. On the
whole, however, the work seems to
have been we'll and expeditiously done
notwithstanding unpropitious condi-
tons.
John Quigley had an experience
Friday which he is not at all anxious
to repeat and which resulted in seri-
GUS scare and some serious bruises. He
was engaged in cleaning we'll on the
premises belonging to William Burns.
The water had been pumped out and
Mr.. Ouiglev was at the bottom, dis
