Assignee L. Kells of Sank Centre,
of N. P. Clarke & Co., was in the city
today being interested in case tried
in the district court. Speaking of the
estate of the firm of which he is as
signee he expressed the opinion that
| it was in such condition that it
would soon be wound up, if it was not
for the cases now pending in the
courts. AS soon as these are decided
by the Supreme Court, he said that
the matter would be quickly wound up.

Lieutenant Harry P. Howard is in
the city for weeks visit. He has
been stationed at Fl. Leavenw orth,
KS, for the past two or three years,
but he now has the distinguished
honor of being detailed for special
duty at the West Point Military Aca-
DENY as instructor in Astronomy. 1t
is an honor, indeed, for it is a posi-
ton that has never before been given
to so young a man, and carries with it
not only dignity, but an environment
| which will be peculiarly cOngenial to
Lieutenant Howard.
Ringing Bros great circus is this
season especially notable for the
large number of equestrian stars en-
braced in it's roster of famous riders.
Among them are VIM. De Mott, Mons.
Lowande, Johnny Rooney, Elena Ry-
land, Rosa Dockrill, Julia Lowande,
Marian Leslie, and score of others
almost equally famous. No circus in
the world presents half so many riders
and none who have such worldwide
regulations.
There was a. heavy frost on Sunday
| night, followed by another on Monday
night which destroyed tender vegeta-
tion in the gardens, froze down some
oats in low places, and did some dam
age. But it is said that the benefits
occurring by reason of freezing out the
wild buckwheat will many times over
balance the damage.
Our boys organized a base ball
club on Monday with Will Whipple
as captain, Ed Bennett secretary and
treasurer, and Fred jacob as mana
ger. Henry RAIDER will occupy the
pitchers box and Will Whipple will
catch. The boys say they are loaded
for moose and their purpose is to play
all corners.
One evening last week Mr.. and Mrs.
J. J. Schank were given a surprise
party by about twenty of their friends,
| the occasion being the twelfth ami
| versary of their marriage. Music and
dancing was the programme of the
evening. The party presented Mr..
and Mrs. Schank with many beautiful
presents.
Billy Phyle, formerly of this city,
now a professional ball player, is a
perfect whirlwind of pitcher. In
speaking of his playing the other day,
after pitching two winning games, the
Pioneer Press says: 1T was day
of which Phyle may we'll be proud and
which will stand sometime as the re-
cord in base ball annals
Miss Alice Thorson has completed
a fine large portrait of DR.. j. M. Nc
Masters in uniform, as he appeared in
1864. 1t is remarkably fine piece of
work, and all she had to guide her
was small photograph. 1t is pro-
nounced by those who know, an ex-
cellent likeness of the then young Lieu
tenant McMasters.
The executive committee on the
Fourth of July celebration met on
Monday and appropriated $50 for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of
our neighboring bands for the oc-
casion. If all the bands who have an
invitation will take part in our cele-
bration we will have music galore on
| that day.
Ringliug Brothers geological col
lection is the finest display of rare
and costly wild animals in the United
States. The massively carved golden
cages in which the animals are exhi-
bited are the most elaborate and ex-
pensive ever constructed.
The executive committee at it's re-
cent meeting laid out the skeleton of a
programme for the Fourth of July,
which gives assurances of celebra-
ton which will eclipse every effort
made in this part of the state. Look
for particulars later.
G. M. Sprague and T. D. Davidson
have set an example to property own
ers which should be extensively fol-
lowed. They have trimmed their trees
so that the lower limbs are high
enough to be out of the way of pedes-
trians.
