IT'S A GREAT LITTLE BAND.
(SterIing Gazette.)

The Sterling Military band has re-
ceived numerous compliments on the
very remarkable concert rendered last
evening in Central park. 1t is claimed
that it was one of the best band con-
certs given in this city in recent
years. The applause that the band
received was an indication of how
the big crowd enjoyed the music.
Under the very able dictatorship of
Prof. j. J. Hitzelberger this organ
ization is growing in popularity, due
to the splendid music. The people of
Sterling and Rock Falls are indeed
proud of this extra good organization,
and the band deserves all of the sup,
port that is possible.

raised a finger, which the preacher
inferred meant to proceed, but Joe
really wanted him to stop before it
had gone too far. When all was over
and Joe had sufficiently revived he
slipped the minister the only $50 he
had, the one which had been doing

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS IN HILLS
DALR
(Hillsdale Post.)
Last week we had an item concern
ing the much talked about odor that
the citizens have been obliged to
put up with. This week we are glad
to print a statement from some of
the parties who were causing this
troublesome smell, and are glad to
see that they are men of peace and
good will to all of US. Mr.. Stanbro
at the time last week when this paper
was published had already cleaned
up his slaughtering house, and reports
that he will continue to butcher
there, and he will see that no one can
complain about anything he is inter
ested in. This is an excellent start,
and if everyone would show as much
good will and cooperation it would not
be long until everything would be in
smooth running order. We believe
this will be the case before long.

point of view, the act was both dis
graceful and cowardly. The perpe-
traitors make the excuse that previous
actions of the party on whom they
visited their wrath provoked them to
give him this manifestation of their
of wrong doing or excuse the course
taken. The taking of such action is
nothing less than riot and may be held
as such. The village authorities have
been lenient in their treatment of
violations of law and ordinances but
have decided that a stop must be put
to all such lawless practices.
