SPRING
SUITINGS
Lir vir.se.w.w,v.
Say, we got in some swell
Spring Suitings last week.
They are right up to the mo-
ment,
Coats are two inches Ionger than
last year, and the lapels are so much
broader and deeper that you can't help
but notice them.
The vests are cut with five buttons.
The pants are just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for $15,
$18 and $20, and no matter where yon
go you can't find anything that will
fit as nicely as they do.

Ernest Flynn Hart.
On Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
a portion of the flooring of the loft of
Messrs. Treble & Baker's livery stable
gave way while Earnest Flynn was
throwing down straw, -precipitating
him and a large quantity of straw to
the floor beneath. In falling his left
arm came in contact with the prong
of a fork that was on a rack under-
neath, and the prong penetrated the
Muscle ebogt two' inrhee making a
nasty wound. Mr. Baker was directly
underneath the part that gave way,
but on hearing the crash stepped intp
a box stall and thus narrowly -escaped
being injured. The flooring that fell
was about fifteen feet square and was
directly over the rear end of the pas-
sage. The straw rolled upon 'some of
the horses but they were not injured.
Station May Be Moved.
Mr. E. J. Nixon, Roadmaster of the
G, T. R. Company, was in town last
week. Reeve Bobier met him at the
station and in conversation learned
that the company intended to laid a
new station here this year. When
asked where, the answer was given
"Not far from the ofd one." Where-
upon the Reeve stated that a more
suitable location could be secured and
that be thought the town would fur-
nish a right of way. On the official
desiring to know where this location
might he, he and the reeve went over
the ground and the latter pointed oot
the place that has been suggested for
some tune—at the foot of Sanders
street. Mr. Nixon stated that this
might be done and he would make a
rnove in the matter and bring it before
the railway officials.
Grain Warehouse Burned. •
On Thursday afternoon the south
grain house at the station was destroy-
ed by fire. It is supposed to have been
caused by a spark from the freight en-
gine which was in the yard at the time.
Smoke was first noticed coming out
through the toof and it quickly spread
until the whole was enrdpt in flames;
Luckily the wind was from the north-
west. Had it been from the south the
other Warehouses would bave gone up
as well. As it was -several houses at a
distance were set on fire by sparks at
different tune's, but the flames were
promptly extinguished. The fire en-
gine was early on the scene but there
Was no water supply and nothing coned
be done. The building bad been used
lately for storing farm implernente..

nothing but the building was burned.

Mr. Robt. Sanders has just received

animals, however, much they resemble
them. They are supposed to be a pair
of hoots with the odoriferous combi-
nation to match, hub the oniy thing
we can compare them tois a cross be-
tween a Southern razor backed hog
and a mummy casing.

Than at others: He was possessed of a
remarkably strong constitution, and
at no time did he think that he, would
not get better. Even half an hour
before death he said that he expected

constitution and optirnisn,nndouhted-
ly, warded off the grim destroyermucli

the case. During the pest yeer he vis-

hope of a change being beneficial, but
any benefit he may have received was
only temporary. His disease during
the last few days was very painful,
but the last hour was peaceful. •Dr.
