Last Tuesday evening occurred the

al the hour announced, the "New
Band" took their place in front of the
building and struck up a stirring
march as the curtains Of the large
display window were raised, display
Ing veritable work of art in the
window trimming, the work of their
new clerk, Mr.. Ray Mann. The win
dow is an exact representation of one
OF the large Chicago displays. The
interior was also elegantly decorated
under the supervision of Mr.. Char les
o'Malley, with fine displays of dress
goods and millinery trimmed by Miss
Miller of Chicago and Miss Pattison.
OF Waterloo. On the north side was
tasty display of clothing and gents

large throng of people poured through
The doors to be welcomed by Mr..
o'Malley, the genial proprietor and
his corps of clerks, to admire the
beautiful decorations and displayed
goods and to enjoy the sweet strians
OF music furnished by the band which

There was little three-round pugi-
listic contest pulled off in the post
office, Monday morning, between two
local celebrities, with Robert Phelan
as referee. The combatants were
in fine condition, but owing to the
fact that the bout was pulled off with
outany previous arrangement as to
time and place, and as neither had
seconds, all rules were disregarded and
the combatants went in for blood.
Rounds one and two were merely pre-
liminary sparing and hair-pulling.
Round three was more serious, the
participants succeeding in manu-
featuring three or four "Goo-Goo-
Eyes" out of each others blinkers, and
! the stuff was pulled off by Referee
I.Phelan and the fight declared a draw.
