First Return From Worlds Fair.

Mayor Nash returned Wednesday
evening from ST. Louis where he had
been to visit his son Lawrence who is
sick with typhoid fever.
Mr.. Nash reports that his son is
doing as we'll as could be expected
and that there is every indication that
he will recover in short time. He
has two physicians and trained
nurse who say that his excellent
habits and his vitality will go far
toward speedy recovery.
Mr.. Nash took in the Worlds Fair
and he states that it is far superior to
any exposition he has ever attended
and the crowds of the first two days
opening were the largest he ever
mingled with. He advises all who
possibly can to visit this celebration
of the Louisiana Purchase. But as
the exhibits are far from being
complete and large force of men are
still at work on the grounds it will
be much more agreeable to make the
trip six weeks from now or in
September or October, as there is
still an immense amount of work to be
done on the grounds.
In the educational exhibits Iowa
seems to make the best showing, but
| Wisconsin comes second; and in
! penmanship and drawing Wood
County ranks second to no county in
| the state.
| In manual training the school at
Menomonie, Wisconsin ranks first of
any state with Louisiana second.
| Mr.. Nash. states that the illumi-
nation at night is something grand,
| in fact beyond description. The City
of st Louis impressed Mr.. Nash as
one of the very incest that he ever
| visited. There were so many fine
homes with large yards and lawns.
This is characteristic of the south.

OUR RAILROAD SERVICE

There are larger cities in the state
than Grand Rapids, there are cities
that have more and better equipped
passenger trains than our city but
there is no city in the state that has
more trains per day for its size than
Grand Rapids. These trains are run
BY conductors whose first duty is 10
their company and whose constant
care is the comfort and safety of their
passengers. They are selected with
great care and have to earn their
position before they get it. 1t is
doubtful il the average citizen of this
city is aware Of the number of trains
that arrive and depart each day or the
amount of freight shipped in and out
Of our city. 1t is very seldom that
one finds little city the size Of Grand
Rapids in this.or any adjoining state
that has a train service of forty-two
trains per day.

OUR GRAND RAPIDS BAND

This organization is composed of
twenty young men largely from the
best families In our city. e. Lambert
Is their leader and instructor and he
is deserving Of much credit for the
splendid music furnished Wednesday
evening. The city pays this band $50
per month for furnishing two open
air concerts each week through the
summer season, on Wednesday and
Saturday evenings. These concerts
are given from the balcony of the
Dixon Hotel and from the balcony Of
the opera house. They are largely
attended and pleasant evenings hun
dreds Of people gather on the streets
and remain through the entire con-
cert.
Furnishing a rare treat to many of
our citizens, these concerts are not
only highly appreciated by every
citizen but they exert an influence for
good in any city. There is something
marvellous in music, we might almost
say it is in itself marvel. Explain
1t as we may martial strain will urge
man into the front rank sooner than
an argument and fine anthem excite
his devotion more certainly than a
logical discourse. Music is the fourth
great material want Of our nature;
first food, than raiment, then shelter,
then music. Music washes away from
the soul the dust of every day life.

Now For a Cleaning Up.

1t may yet be necessary for Grand
Rapids to adopt the same method
employed by Ashland and other
cities in regard to a general clean up.
Ashland has appointed Friday, May
1a. AS the day to be officially
recognized by the people for this
purpose. The various schools in the
city will give the children half
holiday on that afternoon so, that
they can employ the time in cleaning
up. The city will furnish teams to
remove the refuse gathered by any
private families on that day upon
proper notice given to health
commissioner.

MANY GO AFTER
TRAILING ARBUTUS

Hundreds of people from Marinette
went into the woods Sunday seeking
the trailing arbutus, but the general
report is that the fragant flower was
found to be very scarce in the immed-
late vicinity Of the city where it was
generally found in profusion.
This morning there were several
lads from the country around the
streets selling the flower, and they
report that they went some distance
from the city to find them.

Our Photot traphers.

Did you ever stop to think what
our photographers are doing for
Grand Rapids? 1t is doubtful if
there is any other class of people,
unless it should be the local newspaper,
that does so much to advertise a town
as the photographer. II there is
spot within the city limits where
beauty, grandeur and attractive
scenery may be found, and we have
many of them here, you will find the
photographer there with his camera.
He has an eye for the beautiful and
not only the skill to reproduce it but
the disposition to pass it along to
other people outside our gates. When
the photographer is left entirely alone
to produce a picture OF scenery or
individual he Is the most truthful Of
all men. When we are writing an
article that is highly colored or sounds
at all fishy we call in the photographer,
to secure half tone cut and this.
passes for proof of all We say. The
many photographs that have been
sent out from Grand Rapids and are
being sent each month is doing much
towards giving the outside world an
idea Of our condition and surroundings.
II more OF these photographs could
be reduced to half tone and sent out
not only through Wisconsin but
to adjoining states. they would do
more towards advertising our city
than any other one thing of the same
expense. The photographs that have
recently been taken OF our splendid
water power would attract attention
anywheres in any state and there are
many beauty spots scattered all over
Wood county outside of Grand Rapids.
Let US patronize the photographer,
get views OF our scenery Of which we
are truly proud and send them abroad
to our friends. This will not only be
a pleasure to us but a blessing to our
friends, an advertisement to our city
and an encouragement to our
photographers.

Spring Has Come.


Spring has come and seed-tilne is at

Look at the woman carefully sowing

failed with her three years running.
However she's thought out a new
way and hopes to succeed this season.
See that gardener setting out cabbage
plants, when he's never grown
decent head on his land. He hopes to
over come the difficulty this year.
Grandpa is fixing Ihis onion bed
and trying the grape vine. He's
almost sure of good crop. His hope
is very strong.
Thank God for hope which Springs

best wrinkle eradicators. At least if
they don't remove, they adjust the

folk whose wrinkles spell hope and
consequent good nature.

INDIANS AT CHUTES.
Their Music Described as Wild and
Crude, Pleasing the Freakish.

Constance f. Skinner, reporter
of the Los Angeles Examiner con-
tributes an article to that paper in
reference to the engagement being
played at the "Chutes'' by the Phoe
nix Indian school band. Constance
seems to have either a very finely
cultivated ear for music or an innate
prejudice against Indians from the
way she writes of the wild, crude
element of the playing of the band.
Her notice follows:
Lo, the poor Indian, magnitied by
score and armed with all sorts and
conditions of brass blow pipes, is gen
Grating music at the Chutes this
week. Lo and his brethren are from
the United States school at Phoenix,
Arizona. They are in care of a white
man, who acts as interpreter and con
ductor, both.
The little dusky boys are clad in
gray uniforms, and in all things con-
form to the conventional or white"
standard of orchestral propriety.
They attempt some ambitious things
in music such as the" Carmen fantasia
and "'Hiawatha, =" Laughing Water"
and" Anona, My Sweet Indian Maid, J"
are conspicuous in their repertoire,
but the musical feature really is
"When the Roses Bloom Again."
which is played duetto fashion, one
theme by the band and the other by
two little brown band men stationed
behind the ostrich cage, blowing cor
nets for all they are worth.
At the Eelose of the program four
boys dressed in their native garb IL s !
out amid war whoops and pistol shots
and dance a ''wild, woody vest gen.
timely Indian cotillioH, which looks
very like the sun dance that the
Orpheum blograph gave US recently.
1t is the one bit of real picturesque
ness shown by the boys for primarily
they are civilized, citiZeniZed con-
ventionallzed Indian replicas of their
teachers.
Their music is not like that of the
Italians who raised a monument to
art at the Chutes. 1t has a wild,
crude element in it that harmouiZes

and the mad baby scream of the
panther 3 1t seems remarkable that
