DID NOT APPRECIATE
MUSIC AT COUNTY FAIR

There was ruction at the Joslin
fair grounds last night in which a
one-armed megaphone musician got
the worst of it. The one-armed man
was engaged in singing through Il
megaphone. and his music did not
meet with the approval of the aes-
thetic sense of "Nigger George" one
of the hangers-on about the stables
on the grounds.
The megaphone man did not take
much notice of the demand, to his
subsequent sorrow. The colored man
went after convenient lantern and
proceeded to smash it over the head
of the singer. This put the latter
down and out, and for time he was
thought to have been seriously in
iured. The assailant was taken TO
the station and locked in over night
in a box car. which was the only
available calaboose. This morning
he made abundant promises to mend
his ways, and was released.

HEALTH OF CITY GOOD:
Is DUE TO COOL SUMMER

According to City Clerk III. c. Schaf-
fer there are but two cases of con-
tagious disease in the city at the
present time, one of diphtheria and
the other of scarlet fever. The lat
ter developed yesterday, prior to
which for several days there was but
the single case of diphtheria. The
past three months have been remark
able for the scarcity of diseases
classed as contagious in the city
During the months of July, August
and September, so far, there have
been but IA cases, 10 of scarlet fever
and four of diphtheria. During
corresponding period last year there
were no less than 81 cases of the
same diseases, and last summer was
accounted only an ordinary season.
Freedom from extremely hot wealth
er is considered by physicians as the
chief factor in the present desirable
state of affairs.

the establishment who is above the
medium in size, has been the victim
of late of the jests of one of the
male boarders.
The young man had been warned
that she would not stand for much
more of his chaff, but ne did not heed
and last evening ventured once too
often.
The maid seized one of those heavy
side dishes made to resist restaurant
usage and landed it squarely upon

The young man, when he recovered
his equilibrium, started to cap his
folly with an assault. but the wait

So it came to pass that there were
no further hostilities. and short
