LOCAL MENTION.

WHEN finished the upper stories OF
the Postofiice building will have some
of the incest Offices in town and also
some OF the pleasantest lodging rooms.
THE seats have all been placed in
the new school building. The board
has been looking over them and Is very
well satisfied with the Accommodations
afforded.
THE last Of the series OF winter ex-
cursions TO Washington given by the
b. & o. will occur on Thursday April
18th. 1t will be some time before the
same rate will be given again.
THE builders of town have had
many obstacles to contend with this
season but they expect to tear things
up when they once get started at IL
right and the weather settles down to
business.
THE preparations for the celebra-
tion OF Decoration Day should soon be
begun II there is to be any general
celebration. The time is short and
the plans will have to be rushed II the
start is delayed much longer What
do you think should be done?
ONE good thing about the street
paving is that the brick used In II will
be home product. The brick company
on this side of the river is busy turn
ing out the brick and they are now
ready to begin the delivery on the
streets. The delivery will begin as
soon as Beechurst avenue gets settled.
BELLEVUE Is a very pretty name
and has been given to the fiourishing
little town that is rapidly building up
on the high lands on the West Side
overlooking the river and large part
OF the old town. The name was given
it by Mr.. Keck when he first laid of
lots for sale there.
THE people are losing their faith in
the weather man because the latter
has failed to deliver the goods as he
has promised for several days. They
forget that he has been faithful FOR q
long time and that the hits he has
made have far out numbered the
misses scored.
PEOPLE living In the upper end OF
town have been greatly annoyed late
ly by sneak thieves. Umbrellas and
other articles left outside OF the houses
have been stolen until the nuisance
has become almost unbearable. The
identity Of the thief is suspected aud
he may get a chance to examine the
inside Of the county jail.
THE folly of matchmaking town
streets as permanent improvement
may be seen on Wiley street between
Main and Spruce. Here there was
very liberal amount Of macadam place
ed on the street not so very long ago
and it is now about the muddiest
street in town every time that 1t rains.
The macadam has gone clear out OF
sight.
WHEN spring is going to spring is q
question which is puzzling many peo-
pie at present. We have been deceiv-
ed SO often this year In regard to
spring that there is no confidence to
be put in the limited overtures Of the
fair season. The disagreeable wealth
er during the past week has had
very bad effect on business of all kinds,
and unless good weather starts in
short time there will be a gloomy
prospect for the Easter rush.
WHILE the Legislative appropria-
lions were very considerably in ex-
cess of those ever before made for
the University they were not in
creased in greater proportion than
the increase in the attendance and
the interests of the school demand
ed. With more cordial support
from all persons who are interested
in the success of the University,
every dollar asked for by the Re
gents might have been secured and
could have been judiciously and
wisely expended The greatest mis-
take made BY the Legislature was in
not appropriating money for the
purchase of the Fife and White lands
These are the last parcels Of land
that can be purchased adjoining the
other lands owned by the University
and are greatly needed for building
and other necessary purposes
