i Right at present cur nights are oo.
ing made hideous by the barking OF
dogs. Nauvoo now suggests to one
mind an Indian village rather than the
up to date town tha. it is. Nor are
the ours only active at night. for h:T
day they roam at will in the streets
and on the sidewalks, scarcely giving
lway to pedestrians. On our streets
may be seen such specimens as bull
dogs. bird dogs. spitz dogs, black,
white, spotted and yellow dogs, gam
boiling and romping and getting In

matter Of time when in these columns
you will read report that some OF
these unpedigreed barnacles has Bit
ten or chewed up some one AS soon
as this happens then will we COM
mence to keep the pups at home or
muzzle them. Now is the time and
not after the calamity occurs.

This young lady has given the best Of

pleased to hear that the board has
Retained her for another year.
| The High Tension club OF Keokuk
will give their annual excursion to
Nauvoo on July "a on the fine steamer
Sydney. The Electric and Water
Power ball teams will again play
game on the Nauvoo diamond for the
,silyer cup. The excursion last year
lproved success and the people OF
this club want to visit this beautiful
little city again. All right come on
again and often. You are doubly wei
come.
| Mr.. Emmerson's floating theatre, 1t
is said, may be at the Nauvoo landing
i just below the city limits, next Sun
day evening. The gentleman and his
river show are very popular In Matt
VOC and as heretofore the theatre
barge will be crowded with our low
ers of first class amusements.
! We wonder why Nauyoo can't have
as fine a leyee at our ferry landing
and steamboat landing az they have
at Montrose. when there is untold ma
terial at hand. Nauvoo needs both OF

i igation season We are almost de-
! pendent on our little ferry and or
citizens know what it would be here
without Captain ]. W. Refmbold's fine
little steamer. Nauvoo came near
losing our ferry at one time and no
one knew who was going to put one In.
lit looks as though our city council
members ought to build a fine 1eyee at
the ferry landing and build a road
from the corner Of Tenth and Farley
street east to the river as good as
that on Tenth street. 1t is hoped that
our authorities will take up this mat
tier at once and Captain Reimbold de-
serves this Improvement as well, as 1t
will be great convenience to almost
all of Nauvoo's citizens.
Il A good many wonder who is going to
be Nauvoo's next postmaster Dame
Rumor has made known three candi-
dates and believes one of them will
be appointed next December, when
Postmaster Begers term expires.
Those the Dame has named are Geo.
Hart, Louis Datin and Len Parker.
From now on until some time in Sep
tember the weather bureau will be
lency.
Blur Park, the summer resort across
Lake Cooper from Nauvoo and just
| below Montrose, will soon be filed
with tourists.

ing faces you may see around the
treasurer's Office July or IL are city

1 No, neighbor, those printed supple
ments that may be distributed free BY
a few Hancock county newspapers are
supervisors proceedings and are not
intended to be used for shaving paper.
They are to read, il that liberal boc1
can get any county papers to send
them free of cost to that enterpr1sing
body.
! Nauvoos Priscilla club will meet
Thursday afternoon OF this week
! Some one sw1ped Ed Hutmacher's
launch one night last week and caused
him considerable anxiety, he thinking
somebody had stolen it. He went IN
search of it and found the fellows
who had appropriated It for their use
and he has threatened to cause the
arrest OF the culprits.
Nauvoos mayor and chief Of police
started out to stop habituals from
getting anything to drink in our s..
looms, but they seem to be doing bust
ness at the same old stand. II these
officials would stop all OF the above
from drinking. Nauvoo saloons can
go out of business without creating a
ripple Of interest.
