\Dr. Wescott has recently moved to Highwoml, but he holds his office here just the same, and retains his offices at Deerfield and Highwood also. John H. Sheahen had a little matinee with his horse the other day trying to see which could step on the other’s foot the hardest. That's why John is on a crutch. John Milton Baker was just two years old Wednesday the let, and 1‘3 has gotta? ”hymn handle haugggg an‘d ice'cm‘am as well afi'h’is father, Charles H., the coal and ice man. Great kid is "Jack.” There was a great fall in milk and cream out in front of the Smurthâ€" waite cottage Tuesday morning when J. H. Sheahen left his horse feeding beside the street while he waited on his customers. The horse ran the cart up a bank and it toppled over, bottom up in the gutter with results above noted. W. J. McKinney, the paper-hang er and decorator, is doing lots of business for these times and this season of the year. He did some work for us a year ago and we never better shape.“Lots’ of such men want a job hanging on all summer, but he don’t. He hangs his paper at once, cleans up and is off to the next job. His ad is in another column. H. C. Sampson spent Sunday and the first days of this week in the fruit regions of Michigan. He found one of his old friends who hadpicked and shipped berries to Chicago all the season, and when he balanced receipts and expenditures for pick- ing, boxes, freight, eonnnissions, etc. he found himself just 5520 out of poc- ket. Another netted just three cents on a crate and so on. Strawberries won't sell at 50 cents a crate here next year. Fred. Schumacher capped the climax on the soda water business Wednesday evening, just after 9 o‘clock. First came live or six ca’r- riages from the Fort and elsewhere, with two or'rnore to each ' carriage, and while he and his clerk were serv- ing them in walked 5] of the sweet singers from the Military academy. Frank (ireen brought the resources of his cream freezers and his person al service to Fred‘s assistance and all were served with neqtness and despatch. For a time it leaked as though the ice cream market would would be “busted," but it held out and some to spare. When it was all over Fred. wiped his manly brow and went home to his wife and child in peace. ‘ -' ' ,, ‘u‘ .“Ll - l . Jul) uudb‘Mu “ruining," 3: [u OF LOCAL INTEREST. THE HIGHLAND PARK NEWS.
