of Rev. Dubois to deliver temper

Improvement League Meeting.

A fair sized audience remained
after the band concert last Friday
evening to hear what the representa-
tives of the citizens improvement
league had to offer. Rev. E. v.
Dubois called the meeting to order
and urged the citizens to consider
the advantages to be gained by or
ganized interest in identifying and
purifying our town. He maintained
that just as good clothes and clean
skin increased the self-respect of the
individual, cleaning and identifying
town or city increased the respect
in which it was held by visitors and
by the citizens themselves. He
thought it time to organize perma-
nently along this line and introduced
C. T. Howard to further explain the
objects of the league.
Mr.. Howard held the attention of
the company by the aid of a few
good stories and native wit, contend
ing that the city had $500 invest
ed in the lake property and since the
cleaning up of Lakeside Park had
shown what could be done by a little
united effort, it was up to the people
to follow up the good work begun
by the league and by Messrs. Clark
huff. Philbrick, Baldwin and others
in having the boat-house stairs con
structed, and asked citizens not to
dodge the members of the league
who would circulate a paper for sig
natures and a small payment Of
cash. Mayor Philbrick followed il
a similar vein, and thought that the
city was not justified in putting the
| cost of this Worksson the taxpayer
directly, but that every voluntary
contributor would be well repaid fol
all he invested in this way.

Send the News ANY Way.

It seems to be necessary to occa-
sionally remind readers that The
Gazette is more than willing to re-
port items Of personal nature in
reference to the departure of resi-
dents or the arrival of visitors. A
postal card or drop letter viii per-
haps be more sure to get the names
right. but we get great deal of our
local news over the phone. Some Of
our local correspondents need to be
reminded that it is important when
writing about people to write the
names plainly and to tell where they
are from, if visitors. or where they
are going. if leaving town. OF
course visits between neighbors are
hardly Of sufficient Importance to
be printed unless in the nature Of a
celebration or anniversary of some
sort.

A Gaseous Story.

The travelling men are telling a
story on DR.. Lyman that is good
enough to print, whether it is adream
or reality. One of them, whom we
will call Jones, went to the Granite
block dentist with a terrific tooth
ache and investigation showed that
the tooth was in such a condition
that the only way to extract it COM
Portable was to put the sufferer un-
der the influence of gas. Conse-
quently Jones threw himself back in
the chair and the tube was applied.
He did not succumb any too readily,
but in the course Of time he was
sleeping peacefully, and the offend
ing molar was removed.
How much. doctor?" asked the
patient when the ordeal was over.
"Ten dollars" said Doc, business
being dull.
Ten dollars, roared Jones.
Yes SIR" said the dentest. "It
was an unusually hard job getting
that tooth out and you required
twice the ordinary amount of gas"
"Humph!' calculated Jones as he
paid up. Here's your money,
but I'll tell you right now that the
next time take gas from you you
will have to put meter on me.

FAIR MEETING
ON SATURDAY
Committee Meetings on Next
Saturday to Complete
Fair Details.
w. Nj. Smith Elected Secre.
tary, vice Capt. Hingeley,
Resigned.

A meeting of officers and business
men interested in pushing the COM
ing county fair was held last Satur-
day, action on several matters con-
nected having been postponed until
the return of Secretary Hingeley.
That gentleman asked the privilege
of handing in his resignation, not
being certain that he would be able
to look after his duties at the time
set for the fair. Recorder w. M.
Smith was elected to serve as secre-
tary for this season, and a general
talk on the matter of program and
attractions was had.
There was a strong sentiment in
favor of radical departure in the
matter of amusements, band tour
nament and militia meeting of the
Madison, New Ulm and the home
companies being among the features
considered. The premium list is
nearly ready for the printer, and the
managers hope to have it appear in
this paper next week.
The meeting adjourned to meet
next Saturday, and The Gazette will
keep its readers posted as to ar.
engagements decided upon at that
time.
