On account Of the change made in the
Fourth Of July amusements a balance
of the fund subscribed for that day was
left over. The vaudeville attractions
we're changed entirely. Those that were
contracted for failed to comply and
others were engaged at a cheaper rate
The concessions also added to the fund
more than was counted, hence the fund
overreached the expense account about
$3.50 or more. The advisory committee
met last Saturday and decided after
some consideration of the matter to ar-
ply this balance to the fund for summer
concerts, with the provision that if any
subscriber who donated to the Fourth OF
July fund is not satisfied he could call
on the treasurer, Ed KiIAland, and get
his pro rata OF the fund retuahed This,
OF course, means his prorata ofthe per-
centage OF donation unused.
As far as we know the arrangement
is very satisfactory. A new subscrip-
ton has been made to the concerts in
addition to this balance, which insures
concerts for the remainder OF the sum-

We could catch up, and stop them.
AT the corner of the First National
bank the horses turned and struck
telephone pole. Unfortunately we didn't
stop, and what happened from that
moment goes into history as a twice
told tale from awed spectators. We
remember being lifted into the air on
the wings of an airship, of being
waited over fields flowing with milk
and honey, and having cast at our
feet great roses thrown by dainty
fairies, with rustling wings. People
swarmed about us, handing in dollars
on straightforward then we came to
in the rear of the butcher shop, with
some one hopping blood from our
face and stern doctor with one end
Of stethscope attached to our giz-
Yard. Aside from severe jolting and
a number of body bruises, the affair
proved not serious, but one we do not
care to repeat.
