CLOCK STOPPED

The city clock stopped during the
heavy rain and sleet storm last week,
at fifteen minutes to six O'Clock, and
several business men and others who
happened to notice it IN the afternoon
FASTENED to get ready for supper, when
they discovered that the clock was
not running. 1t was adjusted Mon.
day morning and is keeping time
again. There should be some, sort OF
glass covering Tor Tie CLOCK, to prevent
the storms stopping it. A glass cover
for it, with electric lights on each diaI

The schedule of games for the

Grand Rapids is located considerably
further from Appleton than some of

that the team from that city will not
be called upon for game until the

One would think the Laxative idea
in cough syrup should have been
advanced long before it was. 1t seems
the only rational remedy for coughs

within reach preyed upon the mind OF
the sheriff, who undertook to supply
the lack by holding an hours Bible
reading in the condemned mans cell
and praying with him. As the time
for the hanging approached Barst0w
