The boys’ band gave their second open air concert last evening. Despite the chilly atmosphere a large crowd was out, and everybody seemed td enjoy the concert. Thursday evenings have been selected for the concerts and they will be given each Thursday hereafter, weather permitting. Judge Thompson is said to be quite a little weaker today than he was several days ago and it is thought he is gradually failing. Brights disease is said to be the cause of his decline. It was understood about town that Mrs. Thompson was to be returned but on the advice of the doctors this was not done. Mrs. Julia A. Healey is planning to start shortly to Hamilton, Mont., to visit her daughter, Mrs. E. F. Mills, and husband. Thursday afternoon she surprised the ladies of the G. A. R. by serving refreshments at the lodge room, there being about forty present. She has been very devoted to the G. A. R. auxiliary work for many years and in recognition of her long and faithful service the members of the lodge presented her with a beautiful lodge pin. The afternoon was very pleasantly spent.

Mrs. Jennie L. Wishard has just received a letter from her son Melville, of Chicago. He is just returning from a trip to Saskatchewan, Canada, wher * he went on a land prospecting trip. He was sa well pleased with the country and prospects for making money in land that he purchased a quarter section for himself near the town of Scott, and says that he expects to purchase another quarter for his brother Glenn. Canada is being rapidly settled with people from the states and land in that country is bound to raise rapidly in value.

Postmasters throughout the country are in receipt of a letter from the department at Washington which reads as follows: ‘.TPdu are hereby directed to inform yourself with reference to the conditiohs of roads and bridges on the rural routes of your office, and if you find that they require Improvements you should present the matter in the strongest and most positive way to the patrons and officials, informing them that Improvements must be made as soon as practicable. If, after a reasonable time has elapsed, the improvements have not been made or started, you will report the fact to this office in order that action may bo taken looking to the discontinuance of the service. The department is not immediately concerned in elaborate road improvements, but in the interest of the best service to the large number of patrons it must insist upon roads being kept in good repair, the lack of which. is usually due to improper drainage, and Unsuitable grading and surface work which can be easily and cheaply accomplished by timely work and the regular use of the split log drag or similar device.” '—* '
