The excursion on the Queen of the
Lakes, Thursday evening although
gotten up in somewhat of hurry was
a great success. \ large number took
advantage of the opportunity to cool
off on the lake and consequently the
boat was we'll loaded. 1t was fortu-
nate beginning.
The committee which was to meet
Thursday evening with Fl. S. Van In
gen, to take action regarding the for
nation of a golf club, was prevented
from meeting at the appointed time
and place, and consequently the affair
is still unsettled No other time for
meeting has as yet been definitely
stated.
A week ago Saturday the two cribs,
one measuring 100. and the other 16O
feet, were sunk at the end of the pier.
The other 100 foot crib, which is to be
the last, will be launched Saturday
afternoon. The work will probably
be all finished by the first of August.

work by the heat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Dewey and
daughter returned Thursday evening
from a weeks visit at Niagara Falls.
The only thing they missed according
to Mr. Dewey was q visit to the cave Of

to call on friends at Buffalo. In spite
of hot weather they report very
pleasant time.

picked herself out and admonished
those who got out Her wheel not to
puncture the tire She went to a
neighbOring farm house and aired off
bit and went on her way as if nothing
had happened.
An unusually lively runaway took
place on Park street at an early hour
this morning. Just little after z
o'clock a team crossed the railroad
track with one Jump and headed toward
the lake. They attempted to make a
turn down Ashland avenue but in so
doing one of them fell. The top wagon
to which they were hitched was totally
wrecked. The top was badly broken
and when the horses we're stopped by
the fall only one wheel was left on the
wagon As far as can be learned no
one was hurt, the wagon having been
empty when the horses took fright.
Our city teachers, returning from the
great meeting at Milwaukee, speak
enthusiastically concerning it. 1t is
undoubtedly the largest educational
convention ever held in America. Of
our corps of city teachers, Prin. Wis
wall, Misses Erickson, Wells, Rowe
Tarbell, Mallory, Robinson, Fellows
and Stewart were in attendance. Supt.
Mallory and several of the county
teachers were also present. The eve
ming address by Bishop Vincent on
Tom and His Teacher" was, perhaps,
the most interesting exercise of the
convention.
The mayor is the authority for the
assertion that Edward Balm has offered
in case Deming street and Durkee
avenue are macadamized, he will run
a street through his property from the
end of the macadam to the Park ave.
nue. paving and macadamize it, so
as to make complete driveway all
around that portion of the city. That
is an excellent scheme, and it is sin
cerely hoped the property owners of
those two thoroughfares will carry out
their part of the scheme, but it is
understood that Attorney Cowell has
got up a remonstrance signed
by all but one or two of the property
owners on Deming street against the
improvement of that street. That
would not seem to bear out the asser-
ton that the majority of the people on
that street want the macadam.
