Rev. and Mrs. Ristad which occurred at
their home in Rockdale on Sunday.
After a couple of weeks outing at
Lake Ripley, Clarence Babcock is again
looking after the interests of the depart
ment store of Babcock & Birkenmeyer.
Street Commissioner Cook had a
force of men last week cleaning out the
creek which runs through town. Ii
there is any one channel for filth in the
city, it is this same creek, but it is as
clean as whistle now.
An extract from circular recently
issued by Prof. Peter Hendrickson, of
Albion Academy, is printed on the inside
pages of this issue. 1t treats of a sub
ject interesting to all, and is we'll worth
reading, especially by those interested in
the advancement of school work.
Mr.. II. G.. Coon of Albion has in his
orchard an apple tree that is striving to
increase the sum of human happiness.
1t is loaded with large, round, ripe APP
pies and at the same time it is abloom
with fragrant blossoms. To yield flowers
and fruit in abundance and of the
choicest kind at the same time, is tree
worthy place in any mans orchard.
Rev. ri R. Hicks predicts some
storms for August, but in his forecasts he
remarks that ''most sections will lack
for rain this month" The first storm
period for the month is from the 1st to
Bird: about the 9th and 7th electrical
storms with great buster and some rain
are booked in numerous localities.
About the 18th to 18th a hot wave will
eliminate over the central states, end
ing in thunderstorms, general bluster
and local rains. The most general and
severe storm d disturbances of August
will occur from the 18th to 26th. The
month will end quite warm with local
summer showers in transit from east to
west.
Geo. Welsh was brought before
Judge Smiths court Tuesday afternoon
for examination on the charge of break
ing into the premises of Mrs. CARMEL on
the evening of June %. District Attor-
ney Jackson appeared for the state and
Welsh was defended by Attorney Ladd.
After weighing carefully the evidence
introduced, Judge Smith held the pris-
oner for trial before the municipal court
in GAINESVILLE, setting the date August
18th. In default of $500 bail Welsh was
taken by Marshal Rea to the county jail
in GAINESVILLE to await the day of trial.
Welsh is the same man who was short
time ago under arrest on the charge of
enticing the little Lempke girls out in
Clark's pasture, but for lack of evidence
as to his intentions, was discharged.
simultaneously as large drops of
Precipitation fall from the brow, the lips
are wont to utter the Interrogation, lis

past few days this has been the refrain
in the city and in the country, by the
lakeside and in the shade. If the ques-
ton lis it hot enough?" is asked once
day, it is asked million times and in
variably the answer is in the affirmative.
1t stored away among the pines in the
far off north there is a Manitoba wave,
we would beseech its keeper to pull the
cork and let it float this way to lave
our brow, which by July's heat has be-
come feverish in the extreme. From
December to April we can very we'll
plod along without any waves from
Manitoba, but during July and August
we fervently court their presence. Alas,
to date our wooing has been in vain.
Said an observing citizen the other
day: ''lf my memory serves me correct
ly, when the city granted franchises for
various telephone and light companies
to erect poles upon the streets and alleys,
there was provision that the poles
must be of neat design, we'll painted and
Wainscotted with hoop iron Just take
look down Front street and see how
far this provision has been carried out.
What an agreeable sight to feast the
eye upon and what monument to the
strlctest conformity of every provisional
line in the franchises. The neatness of
the design of those poles is not pride
producing; they have never had even
formal introduction to paint brush and
are literally covered with all manner of
corn salye, yeast foam, plug tobacco and
little early riser pill advertisements. IF
the powers that be, Or those in whom
authority is vested, would lend their at
tention to this matter the appearance of
