President Roosevelt will lie in Grand Island as previously an nouneed nnd will remain over Sun day. He desires to spend the day quietly ana no reduction on pass euger rates will he asked for or giv en until Monday morning. On Wiut morning tbe president will leave bis car as early as 8;:j0 and the parade anti address will he held at once. It will be necessary to run a very early train from this point to accom module the public. No doubt many will avail themselves of the oppor tunity to see the president. 8. F. .Reynold's meat wagon was seen last Wednesday morning bright and early with a well loaded supply of fresh meat which had just been slaughtered and made ready for the block. This meat was from a choice bunch of fatted stock which he had recently purchased and will make the finest of stake. Mr. Reynolds was practically raised in a butcher shop and knows just what kind of stuff to buy to plctoe the trade. He always keeps a good Mipply of the best varieties the market affords. A petition has been circulated, ■ of this city and is a very enterprising, and in some re spects a very commendable docu ment; tint in other respects it is far fetched »rd calls for too much luxury and extravigance. One section prays for a general clean ing up of the city, the in force meat of laws in repairing side walks, keeping ilia weeds cut down, etc. etc. This is all right and should be looked after. But what of section two of this petition as prayed for. It calls for the purchase of the Barker block, by the village, and to convert the same into a splendid park, the bean'y of which cannot lie excelled, and that too, seemingly, without taking into con sideration the expense sheet: Oh, women of this Union Club, Without a doubt you wish to see toup City us the county's bub. A Paradise ou earth to be. You wish to seethe alleys mopped, The workmen mow the grass and weeds; To see all nuisances estopped. I say, me thinks you do indeed. Spring time is here, the meadow lark. How clear and sweet bis anthuin ring: Now if we hachthis woodland park. We to, might rise and loudly sing. You pray the board for stately trees. For flower garden’s sweet perfume: For pansies in their beds of ease. For jonney-jump ups. I presume. For dafladils, Magnolia bloom. White poppy stalks and big snow balls. Geraniums which come in June. And fountains fresh where water falls. All this and more you much would like. Surrounded by a picket fence; A circle track to ride your "byke," Without regard to the expense. But sinee the cost is very great, Two thousand dollars, if not higher: It looks to our bald headed pate. As though the fat was in the tire. The passage of the normal school bill must be regarded as one of the most remarkable events ot the pres ent session, for twenty-five years there lias been as much fussing over normal bills as over any otber sub ject of legislation. The bills have invariably been snowed under be cause of the jealousy of the cities and towns that were not named for location. This trouble was cleverly averted this time by making every town in the western two thirds of the state eligible for the prize, and put ting the location in the hands of a commission. Instead of getting wiped off the map, the school at Perue finds itself in better condition than eyer. with one new bidding and an assurance of permanency that it did not have before the fight was be gun upon it. The normal school record of the session has certainly been remarkable. A gentlemen who has watched the progress of the bill with interest says that within a month it will develop that no town off the Burlington road need enter ttie contest. “If you will notice,” he said, “there is only one state in Blitution that cannot he reached by the Burlington. That is the in* hospital for the insane at Norfolk All the rest of them are what is kuown us Burlington territory If I were asked to predict where the rew I normal will go I sh )uld tak<* 'lie map and point to Aurora as l> i g [lie best located cx'hisivelv Burling ton town, and thir* i' re Pie one wi'li the best showing of winning me prize. Alter that I would name Central city and St. Paul us good compromises in case Hie Union Pac ific insists on having a hand in ihe location and some of the business of hauling the eoal and students. 1’hjs is going on tlie theory that no t,,wn will be favored that already h. s a state institution. Of course geeg. raphicalh and in evert other way. Hastings, Grand Island and Kearney will he formidable competitors if they arc not shut out lit their pres ent. possessions." The fact that the school tvili not be located bv politicians, but by stale board of education, may vitiate some of the conclusions reached by this observer. It may be considered settled that “pull” will be of no a vail in securing the school for any particular city. The problem will be studied by the board with an eye single to the needs of the state, und no attention will be paid to the claims of the railroads. If the gent lemen who manage these things for the corporations want to exercise any influence, they w ill be obliged to operate with a greut deal more caution than they shall violate any of the provisions of this ordinance or shall refuse to comply therewith soall upon conviction thereof lie lined in any sum not exceeding $50 and shall tie com mitted until such tine and costs of prose-; cution are paid. AH parties having manure or other lit ter.or tilth piled in the allies or back of their barns are required to remove same before the same creates a stench. It is she desire of trie village hoard that all persons'now acting under viola tion of the above ordinance, " ill comply with its provisions before the time spe citie 1 expires and tints save the board and its officers from the disagreeable uuty of imposing the penalties for the Violation thereof.

Ferry, ed- j itor of the Enterprise, Sliortsvllle, N. Y.

To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. 1 had no ! idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because 1 had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only bo of less du ration. lint the pains were lur less severe, and I had not used t he contents of one but tie before Mr. ('.rip had bid mo adieu.” For sale by Otlendahl Bros.
