The Fourth of July.

The Fourth of July has come and
gone, and few more burned fingers
and bruised bodies are all that re-
main to mark the result of the an
nual dissipation. July Fourth was a
very pleasant day in many respects.
The weather wore a threatening
look, but for the most part there
was very little to disturb the peace
full serenity of the day of Independ-
ence. Over a thousand people from
Ashland came across the waters to
: join with Washburn in doing proper
honor to the National Day of In
dependence. A few others came
from other parts of the county.
Washburn d"nned its holiday attire
Of fresh bunting, shaded walks, and
fiying banners from the housetops.
The Committees of Citizens had done
their work well and the result was
that everything was in good shape
to pull off the big show. N. M.
Oscar carried off the honors of the
day as President, and W. f. Shea,
the eloquent Ashland lawyer, gave
an address at the pavilion on Wash
ington avenue, that fairly sparkled
with good things. Will. Downs
acted as marshal Of the day.
Among the features of the morning
was the float of G.. n. Cramer &
Cos. wholesale house. 1t was ar
tistically arranged, and presents
were distributed all along the
street. The small boy was made
happy and many of the Large boys
also received pleasing surprises in
the packages they picked up. The
parade rather fattened out, but
there was spirit of guidance and
an interest in the games and other
features of the day that placed
everybody in good humor, with the
result that the Fourth was all that
the day signifies.
The Gun Club Shoot was one of
the interesting features of the day,
In the contest between the local
men o. A. Lamoreaux got eighteen
birds out of the twenty-five AND
won a prize of $40, which he donat-
ed to the Club.
In the contest between Ashland
and Washburn Gun Clubs Ashland
won by score of 116 against Ia for

contestants on a side and each con-
testant shot at % birds.

Ants on Horseback.

A French Traveller has discovered a
new species of ant in Siam, or at
least new trait he has never before
seen recorded. The creatures were
small, of gray color and lived in
damp places. They travelled often and
in troops which seemed to be under
the direction OF commander who rode
"on horseback" NJ. Meissen, the
Frtnchman who noticed this peculiar
lty. was attracted to these groups by
discovering that each company con-
tanned large ant that travelled more
rapidly than the others. Observing
them more closely, he noticed that
each large ant always carried a small
gray ant upon its back, though the re-
mainder Of the troop were on foot
This mounted ant would ride out from
the line, travel swiftly among the COL
umn from head to rear, and apparently
overlook their maneuvers. NJ Miles,
sen concluded from what he saw that
this species of ant, while on it's trav-
els, is under the direction of a COM
mander, though such "ant horses" as
the general rides must be rare and val
liable, foi he scarcely ever found more
than one mounted ant in a colony

compounded, in proof of which a
single amounting preceded by hot bath

afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms Of itching, burning

all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment Of infants and chill

Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the

better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition Of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
