GOODLAND,

BY SPECTATOR.

Circuit Court 'Convened at Kent land Monday. The docket is said to be a light one. Fog Horn Kelley, of Remingt /n, has moved to Goodland. Mr. J. L. Cook will soon commence the erecting of a good substantial residence on the lotsin the west part of town, formerly owned by O. W. Weeks. His father will occupy the old property lately vacated by Mr. Weeks. Has our town a health offcer? If we have we would like to call his attention to the deplorable condition of some of the oui house vaults. Goodlanjl nevei did have a health officer that amounted to anything. The Good land schools are progressing with remarkably gooc success, with but one or two ex ceptions. They will be corrected before another school year begins. ’ Dame Rumor says there is soon to be built in Good land a three or four story brick hotel. Hope it is true. Otto Enell, president of the Goodland Wall Paper Cleaning Co., is still boarding at the hotel DeCook, in Chicago. Now if the town board wil only be as anxious to retrencl expenses as they have been t< make them, they will reduce the marshals salary a few dollars. For the sake of a badly inflict ed community won’t the towr board please call off some half dozen or more of those jack all electricians now at work here ii town? Give the job to and Young, experienced electri cians. These boys have no only worked every day since the putting up of the plant commenced. but night after nighi tney have worked in thebusines? houses all night that they migh be ready to start their lights when the plant Some of the yahooes now at work never saw an electric wire till the wires came to Goodland. A fuse in one of the transr near Bringham Bros, store burned out Saturday night and left three or four stores and o ices in darkness for twenty minuses or half an hour. The services of Williams and Young soon solicited and in a few moments after .the arrival of the bovs, the thing was in running order again. This was the cause of inexperienced men in over taxing the transformer. They had been warned by Williams and Young that a9O

pC'FtT incandescent transformer would not carry one hundred and twenty. Experience is always the best lesson anyway.
