The rails and switches have been on the side of the street for the week past, along with piles of yiu11ed brick which will replace the brick now in use.

It will be superior tn every respect to the fa- nous Ingersoll watch, one of the chief products of this great concern. It will be smaller, for one thing, and will be extremely light. 1t will have plain and fancy dials, and plain and engraved or stamped cases which will be done in nickel, gold and silver. The patents have already been secured and the tools with which it shall be made are almost ready. The factory will close down this evening for one week and during the interim consid- erable repairing of machinery and changes will be done. Part of the concern closed Thursday evening.

 The effort made to have the display of fireworks to be given here Monday night held on Pine hill didn't meet with the approval of the committee and as result everybody who wants to see the sights will have to make a trip toward the great northwest. Probably the committee did what was best, all things considered. One of them expuains the action taken by stating that the object was to infuse little patriotism into the people to wake them up and that after thinking the matter over it was decided that while Pine hill was an ideal site, the residents of that section already had an abundance of patriotism and made up their minds to pull it off where the need of 1t was more apparent Tn ad- ditfon to this the New Workers who are here to do the shooting, claim that the sot selected is the best vantage ground they ever occupied in any city and that the exhibition will be a big success.
