A RELIC OF THE PAST
A Well Long Since Forgotten Brot To
Light In Front OF The Post Office
Friday Evening.

Last Friday evening when George
Milliman, our efficient mail carrier and
Bus driver drove up in front of the Post
Office as is his custom, one of the hors-
es nearest to the cement walk suddenly
started to sink into an opening of a few
feet in depth which appeared beneath
his feet, but which he extricated him
self from by extra exertion-then the
old timers began to think and it was
brot to their recollection that years ago
a saloon which afterwards burned
down stood about where the post office
is now located and in front of it, now in
the street what was called public
well had been sunk and was in daily
use for several years until it finally fell
into disuse, caved in and when j. G..
Gates was street commissioner it is
said to make it secure, placed thick tim
bers and then dirt over it and the re-
membrancs of its existence faded away
until the incident above recorded, oc.

Van has had strenuous time all
winter. He has not been sufferer at
any time but his malady has been one
that untitled him for active work at

deranged liver with its deleterious ef-
feet on the heart particularly, seemed
to be his trouble. Not being sufferer
with severe pain was one of the pleas
ures of life granted Mr.. Hellyer during
his ineapacity from labor. He became
very weak and always had shortness
of breath that was very annoying and
which gave his friends mnch anxiety
at times. With settled weather he feels
we'll enough to take the trip to Omaha
where he will submit to close exami-

seases. We hope for his speedy recovery

Whenever intricate questions pre-
sented themselves for adjudication, a

NO SPRINKLING
"A Very Unfortunate Conditions Exists
Here. The Summer Heat Will Pro-
duce Dust.

We understand there will be no
sprinkling of the streets this season
for want of funds and shortness of
water. The water proposition may be
supplied by placing tank in some
out-ofthe-way place near the Cream
cry just high enough to run into the
sprinkler. Then by placing q small
pump in the Creamery and piping
from the creek to the pump and from
the pump to the tank and for q small
amount the Creamery Company and
Mr.. Nelson would keep the tank full
all the time. As it would only be re-
quired during the very hot weather
the piping need not be ditched. The
cost would be small compared with
the convenience of the water.

Cause if things should stop agoin'
Wed be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn ablowin,'
Boost 'er up with all your might.

For to make some project go,
You can boost it up trifle,
That's you're cue to let him know
That you're not agoin' to knock it,
just because it amt your "shout,' y
But you're goin to boost little,
Cause he's got the best thing out.
