having been laid up with intlamma-
tory rheumatism. He is much inn
proved the past few days and has
hopes OF permanent relief.
The public schools are to have tele-
phone connections with the town
after this week. The telephone sys-

universally commended by those who
have one at their command.
w. Burnside and family and Mr..
and Mrs. Wadsworth will leave for
| Clear Lake next week for an outing.
| This is one of the most beautiful lakes
of northern Iowa, near Mason CITY,
and a finer place for good quiet time
| can't be found.

not seem like in the days of his boy
hood.

A few of the staunch and reliable
men OF the town went to Atlantic
Monday evening where they attended
meeting of the Atlantic Lodge of
Elks and We're initiated in to the mys-
terles of the order. Messrs. Leet,
Mosier, Miller, Friend, Childs, O'Con-
nell and Wilhelm are the men that
wear the brand of the degree and if we
should judge the boys by their used up
condition the opinion would be that
they were given the full work. The
boys all report one of the finest even
lngs OF their lives and are full of
praise for the boys who go to make up
the herd. Several more of the boys
wanted to go down and join the order,
but we doubt if they do now-they do
not like the appearance of the boys
who have just returned. fresh from the
field OF slaughter.
