VI Wv "A. "A. bISelOW HILL anu ldDOS
to the Edward Hines Lumber Com
pany was made in Chicago Wednes-
day. The change in management,
however, went into effect on Tues
day, the first day OF the month. The
consideration is supposed to be over
two millions of dollars. Mr.. S. S..
Woods, of Ashland, has entered upon
his new duties as general manager
of the concern, and with the excep-
ton OF Mr.. Hartshorn, who will re-
main with the Bigelow people, there
will be no change in the force of the
new concern, all the old employees
being retained in their positions.
Mr.. Woods will move here with his
family at once, and will occupy the
| Doctor Spears residence. THE
TIMES is reliably informed that the
Hines people will run the mill only
day times, as heretofore. 1t is quite
probable that a large amount OF
Douglas county pine will be brought
to the mill in this city to be sawed
DR.. and Mrs. T. r. Spears arrived
here from Chicago during the week,
and are making preparations tomove
to the latter city, where the Doctor
has an excellent opening in his pro-
fession. They are engaged in maxi
ing the final arrangements for their
departure, and will probably leave
for their new home in a few days.
There IS a feeling Of regret that is
universal that such estimable and
worthy people as Doctor and Mrs.
Spears are no longer to be residents
Of this city They have lived here
many years, during all of which time
the Doctor has met with splendid
success III the practice of his profess
sion. The best wishes of all will at
tend them in their new home.
The two policemen whom it was
reported had left their beats nearly
all of one night last week. mephatic-
ally deny the truth OF the report.
However, they do admit being off
duty for half an hour. While there
is no disposition to be unfair with
the gentlemen, still there ought to
be ADMINISTRATION of the matter by
| the Board. This would be doing
only ample justice to the men, as
| they say they will have no trouble
in showing they are in the right,
and if they are they should be shown
to be so.
Mr.. w. r. Christie who has been
in town this week advertising
GRAM and JELL-O called at this
Office before he left and presented
the editor with package each of
Lemon, Orange, Raspberry and
Strawberry JELL-O.
Wesfound that JELL-O is deli
cioos gelatine desert. preparation,
already sweetened and favored, and
prepared for the table by simply
pouring boiling water over it. We
should think that"it would be very
nice to add figs, nuts. sliced bananas.
oranges or other fresh or candied
fruits, and that delicious combina-
tions could be made by adding
Sherry or Port wine, etc.
AS the price is but 10 cents
package, it seems that all might en-
joy this luxury, as every first class
grocer sells it.
A young man whom we touched
up in the Curb Stone gossip under
the cognomen of Joe Babb called at
! thesanctum sanctorium Of The TIMES
last week to express his regrets that
his name should be handled so light
lly. Ofcourse the josh was aslittle
lstrong, but we meant to inJure no
ones feelings. but the fate of the
newspaper man is that whenever he
does try topoke a little joke on some
one, the aforesaid someone is liable
to feel agrieved. The whole matte
was N the nature of a friendly joke
and it was not intended to reflect up-'
Ion anyone's character or misdoings.
Mrs. Holmes entertained a few
Of her lady friends at lunch Monday
afternoon.
A baby girl arrived at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Potts last week.
