Michael Nathan has gone to Corinth, W. Va., to contract for some buildings in that new town. His smiling counte- nance is missed very much by his numer- ous friends here. Chris Lichty just completed the picket fence in front of the new Catholic church; it looks very neat as it is. but a little paint daubed on properly would improve the looks a great deal. May is the month granted by our town council for the purpose of repairing and building pavements. There are now several new sidewalks under construc- tion, which. when completed, will im: prove the looks of the town mightily.

Last Monday was Prohibition day with us; both bars were closed and the land- lords went to Oakland fo see about re- newing their license. _A hail storm passed through here. Mon- day afternoon, about 8 o’clock. Hail fell about the size of hickory nuts in large quantities. All the damage done was the cutting down of cherry blossoms and the breaking of a few window panes in the house now cccupied by G. T. Brew. Sunday school for the summer season has been organized in three of the churches in town. We hope‘ that the small boy, instead of loafing along the stream with hook and line, oh Sunday, will place his Bible under his arm and go to Sabbath school.

Boyd grasped the crank as though he was going to walk it right throug", made a quick jerk, broke the crank and cansed the mill to make a sudden stop; but the sudden stop cansed the boiler to explode. Nobody was hurt. but Boyd was scared into a seven-day fit and is nervous yet. Our news boy is on a strike for higher wages.

Reitz, and family, prepared a grand feast in honor of the Rockwood cornet band. The boys say as soon as apprised of the treat that was in store for them, they be- | gan to diminish their regular neals in | order to fully reach the expectations of | the hostess. The Second 'f'enor man ! claims to have denied himself of (all diet and lived entirely on expectations. The | band reached the home of Mr. Reitz about 8 o'clock p. m., and after playing | some pleasing selections on the lawn, were courteously ushered into a large dining room, where they were greeted with a sight that is both pleasing to the eve and appetite. The table fairly groan- ed under its weight of the choisesi eata- bles that Somerset county can offer. It required but a short time to prove that they were fully equal to the occasion, mich to the gratification of the hostess. It was clearly noticeable that they were enjoying the feast immensely. They were cheerfully and faithfully waited upon by three handsome and accom- plished young ladies, Misses Ella and Bertie Reitz, and Sadie Bricker. The latter is of Somerset, and has been the guest il Mr. Reitz for the past week. Mrs. C. G. Coughenour a'so assisted in elena the many guests. Supper over, T. M. Milhouse was ap- pointed toast master and the boys re- sponded quite readily. The key note of all the toasts were expressions of grati- tude toward Mr. Reitz and family.

As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- ly complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and eapable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty-—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better nun- derstood if a short lesson in geograpby be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East- ern termini has it—Peoria. To what important oints does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. aul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Iowa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points ?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes: to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibnled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes: its capital city, Tokepa. and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation, It will thus be seen that a Mne tapping, as the Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system through trains are run, and it has become, and rightly too, the popular Line. A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway leaves C hicago, daily, at 10 p. m. Itis called Tue Bic Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. ‘The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island’s excellent Dining Car Service For full particulars as to tickets, maps, rates. apply to any coupon ticket office in the United States.
