Electricity and vitalized air need at Dr. Paxson's for the painless extraction of teeth.       

Considerable building is going on in all parts of the city.  There is no mistaking the fact that South Bend is growing.

The map of the J. M. Studebaker park, hanging in Ed Buy??e's window, continues to be an attraction.  The general opinion seems to be altogether favorable towards the plan of Mr. Studebaker for providing the city with a park.

Mrs. Dr. Partridge has received word from her niece, Miss Susie Searle, who is a missionary in Japan, describing the earthquake that occurred there last July.  Miss Searle lives in the city said to have been almost destroyed and writes that the loss of life and property was greatly exaggerated, only a few persons having been killed.       

Success results from merit.  Hall's Vegetable Stallion Hair Renewer is placed before the public solely on its merits.  Its success is indisputable.

Dr. E. E. Paxson, dental parlors over Coonley's drug store.

W. A. Miller sold his fine horse, Sorrel Dan, Tuesday to R. D. Whitehead, of Milwaukee, for $800.  Later Mr. Whitehead , who is superintendent of the humane society at Milwaukee, traded the horse to J. C. Decker for the latter's black pacer.  Sorrel Dan has won the road cart prize in the gentleman's driving class races at the fair for two years and is one of the best horses in the city.

The work of grading for the track of the Indiana & Lake Michigan railway from this point is progressing favorably.  The line passes between the residences of Thomas Byerley and W. H. Lewis, on Prairie avenue, and the grading is partly completed from the Vandalia track north of the round house to the avenue.  The grading gang are at work now farther west on the Kankakee marsh, where right of way privileges have been secured.   [I think this is the farmland in the area of the US 31 Bypass and Mayflower Rd.  The railroad mentioned above, I think, runs through the Snyder and Mathys farms.  Before the area was drained off for farmland, it used to be the marsh where the Kankakee River fed into.]

Dr. A. F. Schafer, at Dr. J. A. Kettring's old office, Oliver opera house block.  Diseases of eye, ear, nose and throat.  Fitting and trimming of glasses a specialty.

"Dick" Williams, a Cass county coon, was arrested early Friday evening by Officer Brown, on Pearl avenue, in company with a white woman of unsavory reputation.  Williams pleaded guilty before the mayor Saturday and his assessment amounted to $15.35.  He paid it and went home.

So many counties in this state have soldiers' monuments that it is time that St. Josseph county had one.  The laws of this state permit an appropriation of money for that purpose if a majority of the voters so decide.  Mishawaka, enterprising in everything, has a fine soldiers' monument erected by private subscription, and this is the only one in the county.  The subject is one for the people of the county to think about.       

Rev. J. H. Hollingsworth, the new pastor of the First M. E. church, occupied the pulpit there Sunday and delighted large congregations with his discourses morning and evening.  Mr. Hollingsworth is above the average as a pulpit orator and will take front rank among the preachers of the city.  In the evening he delivered a genuine revival sermon at the close of which one person rose for prayers

The South Bend Top Prop company have opened an office in Dr. Dayton's building corner of Water and Market streets.  The company is composed of George W. Harris and Charles B. Greene and Miss Lou Hanauer fills the position of stenographer and correspondent for the company.  The prop is an invention of Mr. Harris and meets with the approval of carriage men everywhere and the new company is receiving some nice orders.  The little affair has a spring joint that prevents the annoying rattle so common to buggy tops, and contains durability with utility.

The Laporte Herald [Herald is italicized] says:  "Two farmers from South Bend were in town last night looking up some thieves who stole a horse valued at $175.  They tracked the animal to this city, and think the thieves have gone towards Michigan City."       

William Dean, the north Main street saloon keeper, was fined $10 and costs by Justice Wright Thursday for selling liquor on Sunday.  Three witnesses swore that they got liquor there on a certain Sunday, and Dean and his wife swore they were not in the saloon on that day

   Willie Herring, son of Mr. Eli Herring, living on west Water street, while climbing an iron fence Sunday slipped and fell in such a way as to break both bones of the right leg between the knee and ankle joints.  Dr. C. H. Myers was called and set the broken member.

The proposed sites of city parks had many visitors Sunday and Chapin Place and vicinity was thronged with people riding and on foot all day.  There is no disguising the fact that this territory along the river from Michigan street to the McCartney farm would make the popular park if there was some way for the city to get control of it.

Several more new homes are going up on the Burroughs estate in the north part of the city.  On Portage avenue Dan Payne has a neat cottage enclosed and Thomas Ayers has the foundation in for a nice residence.  John Zimmer, foreman at the Coquillard works, has purchased a lot also on the avenue and will build a residence there this fall.

Grace M. E. church pulpit was occupied Sunday by the new pastor, Rev. W. R. Mikels.  He was no stranger to the older members of the congregation, having been pastor of the church upon its organization, over twenty years ago.  He made a favorable impression upon the younger members Sunday and it is believed will be successful in his labors as he was during his first pastorate here.       

Postmaster Crockett has replaced two of the old-style mail boxes by boxes of a new pattern adopted by the government.  The new boxes are water proof and burglar proof and a decided improvement on the old pattern.  One large one has been placed on the corner of Washington and Michigan streets and one on the Main and Center street corner.  A small one will be put on the corner of Lafayette and Monroe streets.       

A bill of $15 was presented to the council for burying three dead horses, and allowed.  The horses were the ones who lost their lives by the fire in a barn on south Main street last week.  The occupant of the premises skipped out the next day, and so no owner of the horses could be found, the marshal had to do the best he could in getting the foul corpses out of the way.  He could get no lower bid for the job than $15.

Officer Kosozorowski Monday afternoon ordered a boy driving a poor old crippled horse to a dray wagon to retire with his outfit from public gaze.  The horse could scarcely stand up, much less walk.  There are other animals attached to the vehicles and made to do the hard labor daily seen upon our streets that should not be allowed there, and their owners should be prosecuted.  We need a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals in this city.      

  Nate Duey received a telegram Saturday from Sacramento, California, bringing news of the death of his eldest/oldest? sister, Mrs. Scaniker.  She had been a resident of California for 30 years, but will be remembered by many of our older inhabitants who knew her in her girlhood.  Her husdand died two years ago and she leaves two daughters, one married.  The particulars of her death have not yet been obtained.
