Our council held meeting Monday
night at which Mayor Slater resign
ed his Office, he gave no reason for so
doing. DR.. Bonney was unanimously
elected to the vacancy, no doubt be-
cause he was tie with Mr.. Slater
in the first place. There is some
talk of some of the councilmen resign
ing also, but it is hoped that they
will change their rll.., as they are
all good men and no doubt will do
their duty as they see it.

The fifteenth of August was great
day in our town. 1t was real gala
day. Our streets We're crowded with
people from every direction and the
Catholic picnic, was a success from
every point of view. The ball game
in the afternoon was between Coon
Grove and Dow City The score was
II to II in favor of Dow City. The
supper served by the ladies was fine,
there being a variety, and plenty of
every thing good, Notwithstanding the
great number who patronized them.
And just here let me say in behalf of
the Catholic congregation, that many
thanks are due to the disin.erested
and generous help bestowed upon it,
by outsiders. The prostestant ladies,
contributed cakes. milk etc., besides
giving liberal patronage by their
presence. The Catholics should le-
member this, at some future time,
when other churches are getting up
some festival. After all expenses
were paid the balance which amounts
to SIP. So was deposited in the Buck
Grove Bank and will be used in the
near future to build a cement walk
around the Catholic Church and a
platform in front of the door.

than three hours and carried a suit
case besides, which is doing fine.
