Matters Musical.

An effort is being made for a grand
concert to be given in Cresco the early
part of November by William I'll.
Sherwood, Of Chicago, America' IS
greatest pianist. Quoting from Mr..
Sherwood's s press notices, Belin Ger
many Royal Prussian Anzeiger, "He
can stand side by side with the best
living pianiSts. From the New York
Sun: "One of the greatest pianists OF
the world today" A concert by such
an artist as Sherwood should be looked
forward to with pride ard pleasure by
every music pupil, teacher and music.
ian In Cresco and all the surrounding
towns. The price of tickets have been
placed at the very small sum OF fifty
cents each, so as to place the concert
within the reach of all. 1t is hoped
the people of Cresco will give their
hearty support in the undertaking.
The persons who have charge of the
matter are Miss Lauraine Mead, Miss
Bernice Laidlaw and Miss Bessie
johnson. A canvas of the town will
be made by this committee for sub
scriptions, however if any should be
overlooked if they will leave their
names with Miss Stella O'Brian al
the postotfice, the committee viii
gladly call on them.

Another Fire in EIma.

A few moments after three, Satur-
day morning the fire alarm signal
aroused the people of Elma from their
slumbers to find the seething flames
in the midst of a bushes block on the
west side of the village. The almost
universal opinion is, that it was of in
cendiary origin. This fire occurred
just eleven days after similar de-
structive fire had wiped out the busi-
ness houses of an entire block on the
east side, on Busti avenue. When
discovered the fire was on the outside
between two buildings of roa of
buildings partly of wood, Others Of
brick. There were six buildings con-
sumed including the West Hotel to
| the brick two story building which re-
sisted the farther progress of the de-
vouring element. The amount of in
surance and the losses we were unable
to learn before leaving the city. The
hotel was owned by Thomas Clark and
was said to have been insured for $4,000
on the building and $500 on the furni-
ture. w. E. Roche s. Son occupied
the adjoining building with stock of
furniture which was partially insured
DR.. Mulek who was burned out in the
fire ten days before had rooms and ar
office over the furniture store, losing
what he saved from the former fire in
this.
F. @. Kelley had restaurant, billiard
room and barber shop in one of the
buildings and is supposed to have beer
partially insured. Despres s. Fergu-
son had one of the buildings and hao
small insurance. Riley and Clean
owned one of tho buildings and had g
small insurance. One of the burned
buildings belonged to G.. Meyerden o
this city and was uninsured.

Chester Notes.

The street fair to be held at Chester
September 18th and IA, is looked for
ward to with lively interest by all
its people, and with good weather will
be an interesting event of the town
and county. The premiums to be
awarded to successful competitors are
numeroue and valuable in money and
useful articles.
The Chester House by F. H. Owens,
is one of the best kept in the county.
1t has growing patronage and is ap-
preciated by the public.
Bratrud's lumber sheds are very ex-
tensive and filled with good material
of all kinds, which is made necessary
by the many buildings being erected
in the vicinity.
Chester is making substantial growth
and improvement. is new bank
building, the second floor of which is
occupied and owned by DR.. Freemire
and son Frank, is solid and substan-
tial building. The DR.. has the two
front rooms and Frank the two rear
ones for his dental work. Fred Sven
son is now putting in the radiators
and ntting the heating appliance for
| the bank and the Offices.
Several other new buildings are be-
ing added to the place, among which

the central part of the state
La few days the Water works ques-
tion is to be decided by an election
called for that urpose by It's town
council. Its enterprising business
men have subscribed 81, 500 toward the
enterprise and the election is to de-
eide whether or not the Incorporation
shall issue bonds to complete the
works. 1t can hardly be doubted that
its people will do otherwise than vote
10 favor of the project. The security
of its business houses and of tile homes
of its people demand the protection
that will thus be afforded. The vote
should be unanimous for water works.
