Mike Schmidt and wife went to Mil
waukee Thursday to attend the Sanger,
fest.
After closing up his business here
D. Levy left for Chicago the last of the
week.
The ladies society of the Norwegian
church held picnic in Wallins grove
in the town of Fulton Wednesday. A
good number from here attended and all
say that pleasant time was had.
Thomas Walker and Miss Jessie
Farnham, who have been guests at the
home of Marshall Campbell and wife
during the week, returned to their home
in Riceville, Iowa, Wednesday evening.
N. A. Nelson has commenced put
ting down cement walks for P. G. Brown
and James Pollard in the second ward.
He has just completed the cement work
in the basement of the new school build
ing and it is pronounced very complete
job.
Frank Wyman's property at the cor
ner of Main and Canal streets has been
improved by the laying of cement walks
on both sides and two approaches. Co.
ment crossings have been put in by the
city across the two streets, making a
very complete piece OF work. Mrs.
Horns property on Main street has also
had cement walk placed in front. N. A.
Nelson did the work.
Wednesday was an ideal day for pic
mic parties. The young ladies society of
st. Johns German Lutheran church held
their annual gathering in Schumacher's
grove and the most pleasant time in the
history of the society was had. The Ed
gerton cornet band furnished the music,
good sized crowd was in attendance
and about 35 gallons of ice cream was
disposed of. The receipts were very sat-
isfactory to the society and the money
will be used in the interest OF the church.

Judging by the number of young
people that congregate on the lawn of
Hugh McInnes nearly every evening of
the week, one would come to the conclu-
sion that it was public park. 1t is one
of the handsomest lawns in the whole
city, thickly set with large trees that
furnish abundant shade, and carpeted
with handsome covering of natures
own production-velvetyg green grass.
Mr.. McInnes takes great pride in keep
ing this lawn in the finest shape and the
night pre- empters are largely against his
liking. The crowds that gather on the
lawn spoil the grass, break the shrubs
and tear the sod on the corner. This
would seem to be piece of lawlessness
that no man ought to be compelled to
tolerate. A mans lawn is private prop
erty and young people have no more
right to it's use than they have to enter
his home and take possession OF his front
room and couch. II this practice is con-
tinued Mr.. McInnes will be obliged to
call upon officers of the law to protect
his property, and he would be justified
in so doing.
1.-THE Convict's Daughter" the sue
cessful and popular comedy drama,
comes to Royal hall Tuesday evening,
August 2. 1t is interesting and intense
throughout. From the rise Of the cur
tain the expectation and suspense OF the
audience is kept at high pitch by
constant succession of thrilling situa-
tons which are worked out very cleverly.
The sensational escape of the convict
from the prison wall to the swiftly NOV
ing freight train, is without question the
acme of stage mechanism. The play is
entirely free from situations which can
not be reconciled to human consistency,
and in comparison it ranks far above
plays of a like nature. A liberal amount
of comedy is interspersed to keep up the
interest. Strong situations and thrill
ing climaxes, together with startling me-
chanical and electrical effects, help to
make perfect production The secret
of the popularity and financial strength
of the play is it's intrinsic worth as an
amusement enterprise. The piece has
real merit and with the exceptionally
strong cast specially engaged to inter-
pref the same, should, and undoubtedly
will, pack the house at every perform
ance. Seats on sale at Ash's Friday
morning.
