PROGRESS OF THE WORK

A stroll about town this week would
convince anyone with eyes to see that the
work undertaken by the Village improve
ment society was progressing finely.
There have necessarily been many de-
lays, as the work Of this society is sup
Elementary to the usual work done by the
city upon the public streets. The society
endeavors to consult and work with the
street commissioner, and often must wait
until the more important drain or culvert
has been properly repaired, as it hopes to
do permanent work.
On account of the magnificent dam,
beautiful waterfall and new lake, all felt
that the walk and drive by our river side
would be most favored by visitors, whether
of commercial or pleasure-seeking mind.
BY common consent Grant street was
deemed most important and conspicu-
GUS point for improvement. Here the
work began. While naturally beautiful
part of the city, truly it has been
neglected, for in the days gone by our city
fathers have never been lavish in their
expenditures in this vicinity.
From the corner at the Hancock house,
continuing up the street, a systematic
cleaning has been going on, and we are
assured the power company will put in
good order all land owned by it. The
society gratefully acknowledges generous
contributions of money from owners of
land to further the work. The people
occupying the houses up the street re-
sponded with enthusiasm, eagerly clearing
their own grounds, sowing grass seed,
planting trees and vines to cover out
buildings, and giving labor to help the
general cause.
An old cellar has been filed with
the collected refuse, covered with soil,
and grass seed sown, and this sum-
mer, in place OF neglected, desolate
place, will be q spot of beauty.
Trees have been set out along the street,
the line of which has been Strengthened.
Evergreen trees have been placed near the
river bank. The old logs and refuse wood
that have Uttered that shore since the
memory OF man are rapidly being cared
for.
Another point OF general interest is the
old cemetery on State street. The society
made an appropriation that the Rev. Mr..
Mathews night be able to carry little
further the work already begun. An
evergreen hedge has been set along the
street line. Soon the granite gateway will
be in position and with the crushed rock
road through the centre will greatly i'm
prove the appearance of this spot.
On this street is the beautiful public
library. The society has done soms much
needed v ork there. ~
On Franklin street AMI appropriation
was made to assist in repairing banking
formerly in perfect order, but msAe ugly
BY work few years ago upon the side
walk. Old, abandoned buildings, con-
demned as q menace, will be torn down,

THREE LIVING WIVES
OF EX-PRESIDENTS

There are now living three widows
of ex-presidents, Mrs. James y. Gar
field, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, says a Wash
ington item. The presidents have
usually died before their wives, as
the work of the chief executive of the
nation generally uses most OF the vi
tality of the man engaged in it. Mrs.
Garfield spends much of her time in
Washington where her son lives, and
divides the rest between her old home
in Ohio and Pasadena, Calf She is a
gentle, sweet woman. always ready to
speak of her husband.
Mrs. Garfield receives a pension Of
$4,000 a year. Mrs. Benjamin Har-
rison married President Harrison af-
ter he left the white house, and she
does not receive a pension. Mrs. Nc
Kinley also received the $4,000 pen
sion up to the time of her death.

Taft Comments on Vermont Return.

Commenting on the returns of the
Vermont election Secretary Taft said;
THE returns are very satisfactory.
In round numbers the majority is SO,-
900. which is nearly what it was in
1904. and equal to what it was in
1900. It is an indication that there
is no trend toward such a radical
change in the opinion of the electorate
as is essential to the democratic sue
cess in November. IT would perhaps
have been better, from the standpoint
.of the party managers, if the major
ity had been less, in order that the
danger of over confidence might be
lessened among the republicans"
James r. Garfield and Mrs. Garfield
reached here today. 1t was announc-
ed that Secretary Garfield would put
in four days on the stump in Maine.
Bass fishing conditions today were
the best since Mr. Taft has been here.
This morning the catch amounted to
II bass, five sheepsheads and one
pickerel. =
1t was decided today that Mr. Taft
will not go to Sandusky in time Mon
day to participate in the Labor day
celebration. He might leave here
Monday evening for that place, that
more time may be had on Tuesday for
a visit to the soldiers home there be-
fore the trip to Cincinnati begins at
1880 o'clock.
Secretary Strauss Of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor will be
here this week.
