The baby was adopted by family in Chis- holm.
 Some time ago Neil was missed, and search proving futile, the children. for lack of funds, were turned over to the Salvation Army few days ago. Cap tain 'Odom has been unable to get into communication with the father, and the steps taken yesterday were in the best interests of the children.

e. captain odonl. of the Salvation Army is rushing forward preparations Tor tho opening of a fresh air camp to be located at Pickett springs TOT tns summer. It is said that the camp whi be ready for occupation not later tmsh n.a Julv l. and possibly sooner. The camp will be modern in every respect ana will be larger than the one oper- ated last summer by the Salvation Army.

With this number 1t is ex- pected that over 500 worthy persons will be given an outing of two weeks during the hot, sultry summer months
 One of the best improvements at the new camp is to be the instala. ton a hospital tent. A trained nurse will be in charge throughout the summer and some physician in the city will make regular visits. In this man ner many persons unable to afford the services of skilled medical advice, will have their ailments scientifically treated ,,,
 Another addition to the camp Will be several cows to supply fresh milk to the mothers and children or the camp. |,
 The largest of the tents is to be used as a dining and cooking hall. This tent or shed will be carefully screened to prevent the Invasion o. flies and other insects. The rest of the ground will be covered with hf' teen tents for sleeping quarters. small house will be erected on the grounds to be used for bathing pur- poses. Hammocks, swings and other comfortable places in the shade Will be installed and in good order by July l..
 The camp as run by the. Salvation Army during the summer months will be entirely free from any charge what soeyer. All of the persons taken to the camp will have the personal at tention of Captain odom. who thor. ouvhIv tnyestieates the worthiness of all who will be given the two weeks outing.

The End of UnO Beer.

A satisfactory arrangement has been
made in regard to the sale of Uno beer in
this village and the authorities believe
that they have at last stopped the
traffic. 1t will be remembered that
about two weeks ago two seizures of the
Misunderstanding Uno beer" were made
at Thomas D. Pidgeon's bottling works
and the stuff taken to the county Jail to
be stored pending an analysis by the
states attorney. The latter proposed
to see if it contained more alcohol than
the law allowed In the meantime the
village trustees had revoked Mr.
Pidgeon's victuallers license on the
ground that he was violating the village
bylaws in handling beer of any kind.
Mr.. Pidgeon having agreed not to sell
beer any more the authorities returned
the goods to him and they have since
been shipped out of this state. The
trustees will grant Mr.. Pidgeon a
victualler's license with the understand
ing that he will discontinue the sale of
the beer and it a matter ofcongratulation
that such a result has been reached with
out litigation.
