Tut Ciiuosicl regrets having inad
vertently omitted mention of the enter
tainment that was given at tfce Sitter'
Academy Friday night as tbs closing
exercises of the school year. To say
that the renderings of the program were
worthy of the thorough, patient, pains

is that it was most enjoyable affair,
and reflected the highest credit on
pupils and teachers alike.

men Saturday night elected C, B. Cash

tending the annual meeting of the
International Association of Railway
Surgeons at Detroit, Michigan, and the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City, New Jersey. He also spent
some ten days at Chicago visiting the
various hospitals of the city. The
doctor reports a pleasant and profitable
trip but is glad to get back. His observa
tion, from the cars, of the grain crops
in Minnesota, Montana and North
Dakota, led him to conclude that with
out a good rainfall the crops would be a
practical failure.
The Chinese surely have a peculiar
way of doing business. This afternoon
Hawortb, the printer, went into a
Chinese store on Front street and asked
for some fire crackers. The Chinese
merchant expla ned that lire crackers
bad gone up in price, and while the
price of a package was now 5 cents it
would soon be more. "Then," said Mr.
Haworth, "you had better give me two
packages. Here is 10 cents. "No,"
said the Chjnaman, "two packages cost
you 15 cents; one package 5 cents."
And sure enough the Mongolian stuck
to his proposition and would not sell
two packages except for the price of
three.

dents in this community to see the

ary, if we cannot say as much for the

Thackeray Bays it is often a help to a
young man to have a millstone about
bis neck, Our Mr. Angell bad his mill
stone in tbo loss of bis good right hand,
and that loss may have been instru
mental in making him strenuous In put
ting out every possible exertion, where
one not so hampered might have been
tempted to rest a little on his oars.
Whatever be tbe reason, the result grat
ifies us all, and we congratulate the
mother, to whose happiness her son has
so largely contributed, his family, and
bis larger family, our schools, feeling
sure that in the future, as in the past,
the name of Homer D. Angell. will never
be mentioned bat with love and pride.
Tha City Klectlun.
T ! . e city election yesterdav was more
hotly contested than any we have had
for several years. It turned wholly on
the question of an elaborate sewer sys
tem at a cost that tliee-fourths of those
who have to foot the bill consider utter
ly beyond their means, or one believed
to be equally effective at probably not
half the cost. So far as the election was
an expression of opinion on the proposed
sewer system, it was overwhelmingly
against it.
The fight centered around tho mayor
ship, and Hon. E. B. Dufur, who repre
sented those opposed to the projected
system, beat his opponent, Chas. F.
