THE RACKET
It is always an interesting store, and
differs as much from any in the
town or county of day and night.
In a word it is a modern store—busi-
ness is done on the American plan—
one price and that the lowest. The
assortment is immense. The room
including the basement and balcony
addition, is 195 feet long, and is as
full.of goods as a little red wagon.

MABONIC BANQUET,
A Tram Car Loaded with Logs Jumps the
Track.
On Monday morning, Milton Kline,
employed by William Collier, on his
lumbering operations near Tusseyville,
had an exceedingly narrow escape
from being crushed in a wreck, caused
by a ear on the tram read, loaded
with logs jumping the track.
Kline had started in the morning
from the end of the tram road leading
to the mill with a heavy load of logs.
The tracks were covered with snow,
and the grade heavy, soon after start-
ing the car got beyond control and ran
with lightning speed down the heavy
grade. The brakes were useless as the
wheels slid over the track. The car
jumped the track and the logs and
