   Belgrade has a set of men who are ever alert for the advancement of anything which will have a tendancy to make our little city alive and full of energy. It has a class of people who are willing to spend time and money towards pushing our town to the front; they are not afraid to dig down in their pockets and shell out the coin, donating towards anything that will be of public benefit.
   The Belgrade band boys asked that our citizens have a grandstand erected on main street. J. A. Nelson became so enthused over the matter that he climed (sic) on a drygoods box and held a large concourse of people spellbound for half an hour expounding to them the necessity of having a grandstand. In part he said: "Gentlemen and ladies citizens, it behooves me this eveing to expleciate, in my feeble way why we should have a grandstand. There are many reasons why this is so. In the first place it will encourage the boys to toot loud and longer and secondly, it is so pleasant to be lulled asleep hot summer nights, by the beautiful and melodious sound of a brass band. Amen." John's clear voice floated out on the evening zephers so strong that it echoed and re-echoed for hours after his speech, but it was not long before his hat began to fill with dollars, all were eager to donate towards the stand. Mr. Nelson tells us by Saturday night he will have $50 raised. 'Rah for the band boys, 'rah for Nelson and 'rah for the donators.   

   Boston, Mass., April 16 -- Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary recently returned from Bulgaria, has been summoned to appear in the superior court equity session tomorrow to show cause why she should not be enjoined from delivering a lecture describing her captivity tomorrow evening and Monday evening as planned. The bill in equity is brought by a lecture bureau, the complainant alleging that it made a contract with the defendeant through her brother acting as agent, and that she will violate the terms if she delivers the proposed lectures.

   "When you are asked why meat is so high, just point to the price paid for them at the market, and also to the farmer who raises the stock," said a local packer yesterday, "I can show you right here information that will convince you why meat is so high. Here are 1,243 hogs, weighing 233 pounds each, purchased April 9. They cost $6.83 and, according to the provision market today, they are worth and will bring $6.83. It's simply a matter of supply and demand. When meat is scarce east, there is sure to be a demand here. When live stock costs a great deal the packer naturally has to get more for his product. It's all foolishness about the advance in price of beef, when it is so easily accounte4d for." -- World Herald.

   A program and box supper will be held at the Baker school house, district 22, eight miles southwest of elgrade, on Saturday evening April 19. Each lady requested to bring a box.
