ICE FAMINE
 IS INVERTED

Narrowly averting an ice famine during the middle of an extremely hot wave, McCulloch & Allinder's s ice plant received car from Rus sellville last night, have now about caught up with their orders and are getting on Easy street" again. The factory got behind with a rush of orders on the 3rd and 5th of July, and as the wealth CT for a week following was ex- tremely hot, the demand for ice for several days exceeded the capacity of their plant, and since last Saturday the managers have been trying to secure a car from some other town, but found all the other factories also suffering from a shortage. The process of mak- ing ice requires 4S hours and when a factory once gets behind 1, is very difficult to catch up. In this case, however, all the regular customers were supplied with ice, and no suffering resulted from the shortage.

CLOSES
 FOR SUMMER

Manager Hugh Pence of the Lyric theatre announced this morning that the amusement place will be closed from now until Sep tember I, when it will be reopened in the new theatre building to be erected on the west side ol the public square. The patronage of the show has been good until re- gently, when the hot weather at- fected the patronage to such an ex- tent that it was thought no longer profitable to continue it during the summer. A stock company will be organized to continue the show and this company will lease the new theatre building, which is to be erected by Charley Jones.

AWAITING AT
 THE CHURCH"

"Waiting at the church" was an ecstatic dream compared to the experience of young man, whose name we are requested not to print, in this city the other day. Bright and early he came into the office of County Clerk J H. Bai ley and secured marriage license to wed pretty young girl who lives near town. He then hied himself to local minister to whom he explained his intentions and requested the divine to hold himself in readiness to perform the all important ceremony on short notice. The young man then se- cured horse and buggy and sped hastily to the trysting place where his lady-l love was to await him, but she was not there. And that was not all. Hour after hour drag ged itself wearily one after the ether, and still she appeared not
 Finally, as the sun was getting low in the western sky, the discon- solate youth wended his way homeward and stopped to pour his sad story into the sympathetic ears of the county clerk, as he said: "I guess you'll have to cancel this license. This is the second time she's gone back on me, and l don t reckon I'll try any more"

Colonel John leaned upon such arr
guments; and, disappointed and alarm

told himself that nothing was seriously
meant, and that with the morning light
things would look more cheerful.
But when he awoke, after a feverish

laws OF i-ncandescent light Is that the
higher the temperature the better the

impure state and on account OF it's
rarity the price was very high. But
latter day prospecting has resulted In
the nnding OF vast bodies Of the ore,

dropped to about 81 a pound. II would
be even lower than this but for the
