AMBOY.
From the Herald /:

Jack Buel has established a reputa-
ton as an expert stacker. He is in
great demand. Last year he built 102
stacks and warranted them against
damage from rain. He will exceed
that number this season.
Henry Hohenstein and family left
yesterday for their new home near
Elbow Lake, Grant county. Mr.
Hohenstein has been one of the promi :
nent business men Of Amboy, having
been In the hardware business here for
the past twelve years and established
a reputation for fair, square dealing
The family leave Amboy with the good
wishes of host of friends who will be
pleased to learn that this move of
theirs proves satisfactory to them.
Paul, the oldest son, will not leave until
some time this fall
There has been close to ten thousand
bushels of wheat threshed within a
few miles of Amboy and the most of
it hauled to the elevators. The small
est yield reported is sixteen bushels per
acre and the largest twenty one bu-
Shells all No. 1. This is much better
than was expected and is a surprise
to everybody. There has also been
considerable oats and barley threshed,
but yielding well. 1t will depend on
the weather for the month of August
to decide the corn crop. Notwith-
standing the scorching it received, it
still looks thrifty. The poorest crop
in this vicinity is the potatoes.
Our people heard with much regre
on Monday that the Hopkins house
would close that day. The cause that
obliged Mr.. Hopkins to take this step
was entirely on account of the impos-
sibility of getting kitchen help Ever
since he opened the house in April
he has had good run of business in
fact all the house could do. During
this time the work has fallen no Mrs
Hopkins and her daughter, and the re-
suit is that they have physically play
ed out. Week after week, during the
hot weather, they worked far beyond
their strength hoping that they would
succeed in getting help, but notwit tn
standing that Mr. Hopkins made dill
gent and persistent search for assist
ance he was unsuccessful and the only
alternate was to close the doors.

the state fair grounds will be noticed
by the people who attend this year

ment of walks and passage ways, new
conveniences, new facilities of all
kinds will be much in evidence.
Most conspicuous among the new
things at the fair will be the hand
some agricultural hall, which is now
being erected with the proceeds of an
appropriation of $25, 900 made by the
state legislature last winter. This
building is 260x240 feet in size and of
very fine architectural appearance. It
is designed by G. R. Aldrich, the ar
chitect of many of the university and
college of agricultural buildings. 1t is
now the most prominent building on

the accommodation of several thousand
people are being added to the capacity
of the grand stand.
ALI over the grounds will be hyd-
rants for fire protection and drinking
| fountains for the accommodation of
the public.
While the old and unsightly barn
| formerly stood opposite the secretary e
Office, the grounds have been leveled
off and fine lawn takes the place OF
the old structure. A handsome new
barn in the rear of the offices takes
the place of the old one
A new toilet building, new plat
forms, new sidewalks, and odd lots OF
painting and minor repairs are among
the items of change during the year.
Some of the minor buildings NAV
possibly be replaced by better ones.
