Hail stones rained supreme last night The elements were on a strike last nizht. iudsriny- by the force stones -were thrown at us. The "Illustrious Fve" celebrated last night and did not go home until (m ) after the hail storm. Mr. C. G. Fitzgerald and Miss Ilatti II. Hall, were united in marriage last evening by Judge Russell. The carpenters and tinners of the B. M. shops will play a game next Satur day on the Fitz Forty ball ground. AVaxted Several scholars on iustru mental music. Call on Mrs. Ida C "Wagner, residence of John "Waterman, tf The blacksmiths and carpenters, of the D. & M. shops, are in hot contest this aftcrnnon on the ball grounds on 'riz Forty." The purity of our many pereodicals consists principally of the pure water sprinkled upon them before tromr to press. Deck. To Printers: Hie fat and lean nines are not contented to accept a fat take and be leanient with themselves. They lvant to play another game. The hail stones which fell last night were as larsre as the larsrcst walnuts. It is thought the storm must have done con siderable damage to the corn crop. The switchmen working m the yard last nicht thought thev were in for it again when the hail stones started to drop It is reported they pulled their guns. The iceman's trade will be limited today as one or two of the hail stone; picked up last night can be made to last as long as the chunks of ice generally broken off for the customers. llie curumjr stone wmcn is to e U3ed here for paving purposes is not looked upon nor spoken of by experienc ed men as the mdt durable for its pur pose. "We think if it was run through stone crusher it could le utilized for mor tar and used to better advantage. Flo and Jennie Taite entertained partv of little friends on the afternoon ol the Uth. the occasion of their birthdav, They received some very handsome pre sents. There were thirty of their little friends present and a good time was hac by all. An illustration showing up the ball game which was played last Saturday between the storehouse employes and carpenters, can be seen in tho up-staits paint-shop of the B. & M. It shows nothing but facto and is well worth seeing. Mr. George Beock, who was injured about a week ago by a fall from a w md- mill, was seen in the city today driving his team of mules. He surprised the ctizcns of this place who had heard of the accident. His physicians thought he would not be able to leave his house for months, but he has surprised eyerybodj and even himself by his speedy recovery A couple of blind people were in the city yesterday and last night making as sessments. A small boy lead them nnd some men complained of being approach ed ne less tnan a dozen times during the day. After their 4ays' work was com pleted they apparently were as happy and contented as anybody for they sat at the depot and smoked their pipes a wait ing the arrival of their train, tailing happily to each other. The machinists of the B. & M. shops here have organized a nine among them telve. and are now open for challenges. They have gcveral good players in tin nine and it is thought they will make strong team. The following arc th- names and positions : McCoy, catcher; Miller, pitcher; Speck, 1st base; Jas. O'Neal. 2nd base; D. Titcher, 3rd base; Lewis O'Neal, center field; G. Applegate. short stop; Ben Hemple, right field; J. Ilichey, left field; Frank Cranmer, bn inesA manager; George Copeland, secre tary. Messers George Shreve, Mike Shott and porter Foster, the three switchmen who were tried yesterday before Judge Russell on a charge of taking goods from a sleeping car which had been In a wreck and was standing in the yards waiting for repairs. were acquitted s sufficient evidence could not be brought against any of them to hold them. The evidence shewed that the whole trouble had originated from a joke, and none of the above parties had stolen an article. After the abWe case was dismissed, Geors Chrere and Eert Lu!t T-rra t ? " to r-t-rrxt The Coming Fair. The 22nd annual fair of the Cass County Agricultural society will be held on the new grounds, 1 J miles south of the city.

There is good water on the grounds, The buildings erected arc the amphithea rer, with a fine quarter stretch in front, good booths underneath; the judges stand, and the agricultural hall. The huilding oi a new noral and art nail is now in the hands of our citizensr and is being forwarded by R. B.
