BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Ijent has made some ditt'ei'eiicc to tragic 

 the past three weeks and Buffalo beiiiy; 

 the healthiest city in the world, purest 

 air and purest water and most impure 

 government, business has been rather 

 dull. Still from what we hear of prices 

 in our largest cities, we have sonu' rea- 

 son to be thankful. Several of our large 

 department stores are decorating for 

 their .spring openings this week and that 

 helps some. I have more personal gossi]i 

 this week than usual. 



Various Items. 



Prof. John F. Cowell took a steamer 

 for another of his West Indian trijis 

 February 20. This time Jamaica is the 

 destination. Let us pray that in that 

 island of tropic heat and almost 'alpine 

 heights he may discover some unknown 

 gem. 



Wm. Slattery has severed his Conner 

 tions with" the firm of Byine & Slatterv. 

 The new firm may be Byrne Bros. We 

 hope Mr. Slattery will find something 

 worthy of his ability in our city. 



Joseph Stafflinger, who for several 

 years carried on business on High street, 

 died last week of congestion of the brain. 

 He was a young man but very active in 

 business and made decorations his spf- 

 cialty. 



We have just had a visit from George 

 Faneourt, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., who 

 stopped off for a day on his return from 

 a trip to Spokane, Wash. He has a most 

 favorable opinion of the salubrious cli- 

 mate of that far off state. It rains and 

 snows most frequently in winter, but 

 both are agreeable. The rain is a bath 

 and the snow is warm and refreshing. 

 No frost in the ground. Mr. Fancouit 

 says floriculture is not as advanced in 

 Washington as many other less virtuous 

 industries, but that it will come with set- 

 tled population and refinement. 



Sorry to say, our popular park super- 

 intendent, Capt. James Braik, has had five 

 weeks of rheumatism and suffered much. 

 It is about over and he will be around 

 as soon as the parks need him. To see 

 this strong man stretched out and read- 

 ing Alex Wallace's charming book. "The 

 Heather in Love, Lyric and Lay," is a 

 most pathetic sight, but while so well 

 employed you feel like going to see him 

 frequently; if reading local politics or 

 the latest wrestling match you would 

 not. 



There is likely to be all the Easter 

 plants that the trade will need and we 

 look forward with nervous anxiety to 

 what the elements will give us. 



It would be interesting, but a sad tale, 

 if all the floods and frosts and fires that 

 have visited the florists could be told of 

 this terrible winter. Out of the bitter 

 experience of many may come good and 

 more will in the future be prepared for 

 very extreme conditions of flood and 

 frost. W. S. 



We are in receipt of the first annual 

 report of the board of park commission- 

 ers of Lowell, ilass. The pamphlet is 

 illustrated with some very handscuno 

 half-tones. 



OwATOKNA, Minn. — Thomas E. Gash- 

 man, manager of the Lord Greenhouse 

 Co., and president of the Clinton Falls 

 Nursery Co., has been re-elected mayor 

 of the' city of Owatonna.

Just enough water is drawn up
