Roofs and Chimneys.

There is no doubt but the form of q
roof has much to do with the draft Of q
chimney. The fiat roof offers no resist
ance to the passage of air, but as the
pitch is increased the current is more
and more disturbed until with high
pitched and many gabled roof 1t is bro
ken into innumerable eddies, some of
which are sure to curl down and force
the smoke and gases in the flue into the
rooms below. Chimneys on such roofs
should be built higher than ordinary.

Talking about the hot waves and not
weather, Tuesday was corker that re-
minded us of the summer zephyrs that
rise off the Nebraska sand hills and
wither everything ahead of them. The
south wind which prevailed all day was
like q vertable hot blast from the infer
nal region, and things green withered
and curled UP in the face of it. Even

on the farm experimenting the work of

curled, such had been the whitening

The Hopkinton business men are pre-
pairing to give the people of this section
free holiday on Saturday, July 81, at
which time the whole surrounding
country is invited to come in and enjoy
day of pleasure and entertainment
without cost. The program as now out
lined include horse race and ball game
and music during the afternoon by the
Hopkinton band, with possibly other
features which will be arranged for be-
fore the day arrives. Entries to the
race will be confined to gentlemen's
drivers, which is calculated to exclude
horses with records and anything in the
nature of professional racing, but is in
tended for the benefit of the many
good driving horses owned in this vicin-
ity. The purse offered is Sl5, not very
large but sufficient to create interest in
the event and some speculation as to
the winner-Leader.

condition of the outfeld, fast fielding was

This would account for the score being
30 high on both sides. The summary
of the game would be that Ryan could
MT hit the ball when hits were needed
and Coggon could. Holcomb has 10
strike outs to his credit, and on good
diamond and field would possibly have
shut out Ryan. AS it was they were

of the vicinity we think it expediept to

last week. This is the sum and sub.
stance Of the scrap; 1t appears that
Allen rented ground of Ike West and
| raised crop on it. He was hauling out
his fodder when Tor some time Just pre-.
yious to this) he and West had trouble
over part of the crop Allen raised hav.
ing been destroyed by Vests stock.
Allen wanted damages and West claimed
his stock never destroyed anything for
Allen. The racket began from this and
waxeo heavy. Vests were not going
to allow the Aliens to pass through a
certain gate to get to their fodder.
They put chain and paddock on the
gate whereupon Mrs. Allen, as she was
coming out with load of fodder, found
1t there. She procured an ak and chop
ped the chain in two. West went to
Leon to have her arrested and the next
day as she was hauling fodder she en-
countered more formidable obstacle at
the gate than the chain in the form of
Mrs. West. Mrs. Allen sent her little bow
home for Allen when ne came with an
AK pre- sumably to chop the chain in
twain again, but it was Mrs. West he
chopped instead. The war of words
grew when Mrs. West made rush at
Allen with club, yhereupon, Allen for
getting she was woman smote her with
the ax and he is now languishing in Jail
for bis crime, tor was it crime?) We
cannot say anything about Aliens as
they are strangers in this neighborhood
having resided here but a year. The
