place Sunday, September 2. There are 

 over 100 men on the pay roll, and with 

 their families it made a party of over 

 200. Pictures of the start for the 

 picnic grounds, and the group, appear 

 elsewhere in this issue. The day's pro- 

 gram was cut short by rain in the after- 

 noon, but it was an outing hugely en- 

 joyed by all who were not deterred by 

 the threatening character of the 

 weather. 



Au^tist Weather. 

 The hottest day last month was 92 

 degrees, on August 22. All through the 

 month it was 4.5 degrees warmer than 

 normal. The rainfsdl was only 1.43 

 inches, against 4.46 inches in August, 

 1905. Since January 1 we are 6.16 

 inches less than normal, and the ac- 

 cumulated excess of temperature is 593 

 degrees. 



Variotst Notes. 



Flint Kennicott was downtown Labor 

 day for the first time after another 

 week 's tussle with his old enemy, rheu- 

 matism.

 vertisement. 



Miss A. L. Tonner advises the A. L. 

 Bandall Co. that she arrived safely in 

 New York yesterday, after her three 

 months' European trip. 



Chas. T. Neiglick offers for rent the 

 establishment at 2104 North Clark street, 

 conducted for many years by F. J.

 three houses well stocked vnth ferns. 



C. M. Dickinson made a brief trip to 

 Detroit last Areek.

 cemetery trade. His houses are now 

 rather empty, but in spring they are 

 filled to their utmost capacity. 



C. W. McKellar says the demand for 

 orchids is not so brisk as for asters, 

 nor is the supply so great. He is doing 

 a nice shipping business in asters, as 

 he has some special stock. 



P. J. Hauswirth had a busy time last 

 week, when the finance committee of the 

 Bed Men held its annual session here.
