The French minister of war has de-
creed that drums must be banished
! from the army, because the drummers
are useless in BATTLE since they only
carry revolvers. Buglers are to take
their places and will be armed with rifles.

establishing them became the idol of the
/ French soldiers To take the drums
away from a company of soldiers would
/ be like playing Hamlet with Hamlet left
/ out.
/ The services at the Presbyterian

esting character The Masons were we'll
represented with their wives. The ser
mon was a scholarly one, the theme be-
ing John, the Baptist, the Patron Saint
of Masonry" The singing, consisting of
seven voices was very fine indeed, and
/ the solo, Thy Will Be Done, by Mrs
/ Olson was magnificent. Those who were
there certainly enjoyed literary and
musical treat, and those who were not
| there
John Coughlin of Bangor township
was struck by r. NJ. train two miles
north of Hartford yesterday and instant
1 " killed. He must have been squarely
across the track with his team for both
! the horses as well as himself were killed.
| The party of neighbors, who were at the
scene, gathered together the remains and
in so doing found that he had $1,000
sewed in the lining of his coat and that
| his pocketbook contained over 800. At
this time it is impossible to fix the
| blame.
/ |. b. Conner has returned from the
/ Benton Harbor sanitarium, where he has

1 where ne occupied room in one of the
swell hotels. Having occasion to write
| his partner on business he also wrote
him of the luxurious apartment he oc-
cupied, winding up the description by
saying that he "could hardly wait until

Contractors Pugsley & Allen have the
/ tile laid and earth nearly replaced on the
! Elm street sewer, and as soon as the ma
! terial arrives will complete the work on
Pine street. The work is progressing as
rapidly as possible, and it will not be
long before these valuable improvements
will be completed. The village council
should pass an ordinance compelling ev-
cry business place on Main street to con-
meet with the sewer, and all private citi-
zens should be encouraged to do the
same. Our streets will never be in good
condition long at any one period and the
best sanitary conditions will not prevail
until this is done. BY all means let the
council pass the ordinance.
