Charles Casperson, ahas ‘Swede Charhe,” an old time lumber camp cook around these diggings, decided to wind up a protracted spree with a trip to eternity last Snuday afternoon. He was sitting near the railroat track in iront of the court when the east bound passenger tram came along. Springing up he made a race for the moving 1 with the evident inten- tion of throwing himself under the wheels. Deputy Sheriff Kearney had been watching him, and guessing his intention caught and held: him until the train was past and then took him to jail. Next day Charlie and his jag were sent out i into the woods, Exodus of Teacners. Owing to the closing of Central school, the teachers and pupils are having their summer vacation some- what earlier than usual this year.

But 1f we may judge from the number of visitors who have been going to that lake of late the “Allace A” will be in the service of pleasure seekers much of the time during the summer. Bass lake is even miles in length and is one of the most beautiful lakes im this sec- tion, while the supply ot black bass to be found there is most gratifying to the fishermen. They Bre Doing Well. We are generally pretty willing to register a kick when things don’t go as they ought to, and we are still more willing to pat folks. on the back when matters turn our right. We wish to state right here that the par- ents or children in this village are en- tiled to a whole lot of credit for the manner in which they have succeeded in keeping youngsters off the streets and as far as possible out of danger since diphtheria took up its undesirable abode in our midst. Children have been kept as close to home and have nét ventured into neighbor- hoods in which the disease was known to exist. Everyone seems to realize their danger and keep as far as possible from it. Entertainments Postponed. Owing 1o the fact that 4 contagious disease is prevailing in the village, the ‘entertainment —adver- used to be given by the pupils of Cen- tral school on June 1, has had to be indefinitely postponed, as has also the commencement. exercises of the Villa Scholastica acadamy,* which were scheduled to take: place on June 6.
