The village is confronted with the prob
lem of what to do for a depository for
rubbish. Heretofore 1t has rented Of
H. R. Lawrence the right to dump rub
Dish on Root island but the drivers of
express teams have abused the privil-
eye repeatedly, dumping in the driveway
when the river was high enough so that
they could not get to the island, and
failing to clean up the road when the
water receded. For that reason Mr..
Lawrence notified the bailiffs that the
island could not be used as a dumping
ground after May 1. For a time the
southwest bank of the main island was
used, but the rubbish was a nuisance to
people living nearby and was unsightly to
those in the village, and on Tuesday
Hinsdale police officer patroled the To-
cality and put a stop to dumping there.

tleboro. The sale lasted four days and

There were but five of these coined. The
value which can be given to a coin by
such an error in the coming was illus
trated when another dollar of the same
date, bearing the artists name, brought
only 800. A cent of 1892 was sold for
$3.50. Results of other sales in recent
years were: $780, Clearey sale, SIG 900;

with the exception of Mr.. Johnson, and
the people from their own knowledge are
glad to sound praises of them. AS for
Mr.. Johnson, he is first and foremost
among the concert tenors of America.
He is thrilling and electrifying. Audi
ences in the largest musical centres go
into OBSTACLES over his singing. His voice
is as pure as crystal and his range is al
most without limit. The soloists and or
chestra will appear at matinee per-
