Superint endent fSeorge II.
Tarns of the county farm, west of
this city, was in town yesterday
on business ami informs us that
he is arranging to give the old
people, some fourteen in number,
who reside at the farm, a Christ

clude a bis dinner, and that all
the residents there will be re

to show that they are not entire
ly forgotten, and should anyone
in the city desire to send any
thing out to the farm for the old
folks he will be glad to look after
them and take anything that ib
desired out to the farm. This

proper spirit by looking after
them in the manner he is.

Mrs. Adela Polak, because it
cleverly shows the effects of our

ure that I let you know that, after

GOOD JOKE PLAYED ON
A COUPLE OF SALOON MEN
There was quite a pood joke
pulled off yesterday on two'of the
popular gentlemen who are en
gaged in I tie liquor business, and
while, the joke is one that is quite
old, it was one that the victims
fell for easily and caused a great
deal of amusement and the genial
gentlemen were willing to ac
knowledge that they were easy
enough to bite, on the jke. A
party entered two of the saloons
and asked if he could .secure a
glass of whisky and a large
tumbler of water for a washer,
and in both cases he was ac-r
commodated without question.
and after drinking' the contents of
the glasses pulled a large sized
iron washer from his pocket and
threw it -on the bar, and the bar
tenders at once .got next to the
fact that it was. one on them, ami
laughed as heartily at the joke as
diii those who were in on pulling
off the stunt.
WORK ON ELK'S BUILDING
GOING FORWARD RAPIDLY
The good weather of the past
wek has been very fortunate for
the workmen engaged in the task
of remodeling the building on
North Sixth street that will be.
used by the Elks lodgo for their
club house, and the. structure is
rapidly being pushed to comple
tion and the new addition-lo the,
top floor, of the building, where
the lodge rooms and ball room
are to be local ed, is in such shape
that some idea of the large size
of. the room can- be grained. '. The
members of the lodge here are
taking a deep interest in the
completion of the building, which
will be a beauty when ilnished,
and they are impatiently awaiting
the time when they can move into
the new home and lit it up in a
manner befitting the large and
splendid lodge" here.
