Keese’s Farewell, Ia his farewell réemarks the pastor spoke in part as follows: “It is with a certain hesitation that T leave thig interesting city of ours. It hes become my American home be- cause there is not a spot on the prairie of cur gouthwest, nor-a village of our middlewest, nor a , city of our east where I have dwelled that has become so dear to my heart as the Hardware city, or as T love to call it, ‘the Special city.’ The representa- tives of the press have treated me with mecee consideration and genuine good Wil than I ever ghould have received ana which T have in such a meagure neve: deserved. “My American friends as such have gajned my profound admiration for their democratic spirit, and the fine exhuibition of their sense of equality, and their fellowship with me, a born forcigner, in many a sphere of our religious and social life. My stay in New Britain was a most valuable epoch of my life and as I am about to leave for Chicago, the city where they do things, T am persuaded that the last four and a half years were weaved into my existence for my very best by the hand of the Master whom I try to serve. “Y came with empty hands, and 1 depart with my hands filled by my fritnds and acquaintances with flowers of sweet memory, May our eity flour- ish, grow and prosper under the watchful eyes of the Great Archiled, o the Universe.” Leaves in Another Week. Cn Sunday, May 16, the Rev, Mr. Keese will preach his farewell ser- men and the same week will leave with his wife and family for Chicago, wirere he will assume the pastorate of the Humboldt church, AQUATIC CONTEST AT Y.

MAY SELECT TRUCK WITHIN FEW DAYS Safety Board to Take Actien When Contiae! is Appreved. It is expected that within the next few days the safety board will con- !clude a deal with the American La France automobile company for the | purchase of a city service auto truck for the central station at a cost of $5,700. Car to Cost 5,700. Yesterday the commissioners met with the company’'s representative and he made them his offer. The con- tract is favorable to the city and pro- vides that in case the city purchases any more'apparatus hefore 'the first of the wne vear they will receive a jrebate of $500 on their present pur- chase. While there is no defiinite plan in mind to buy any new apparatys, it . cost nothing te have the above clause inserted and in case the unexpected should happen it would prove bene- ficial. Ceropration counsel Cooper will read over the contract soon and Ixs soon as he passes on it the board will meet again and take “action, it is thought. The truck which the board expects to purchase is of similar type to the two chemicals now in use. It i thirty-nine and one-half feet in length and is equipped with a seventy horse I power, four = cylinder motor. The truck will be geared up to fifty miles an hour and the gasoline tank will | hold fifteen gallons and is manipulated by gravity.

The old truck there will be stored at No. 2 engine house. Neither wagon is in the best of con- dition but the one at No. 2 house is thought to be the lésser of the two evils. { BANK DIRECTORS RATIFY CONTRACT Commercial Trust Company Definitely Decides to Locate in Le- Witt’s Block.
