The water is now so low in the lake that
steamers have to take the channel on the
Wisconsin side when going up. the river from
this point.
The logs at the booms are getting very few
in number, and in a few days they will be
all in the lake. Most of the men have got
their time.
The number Of logs in the lake, especially
above the bridge, is getting thinned out, and
considerable open space can be seen. We
would like to see them thinning out below
the bridge as well.

of wonders. He has heretofore shown what
he advertised, and from statements from the
press where he has been, he has better ex-

A dime museum is open on Chestnut
street, next door to Kitty Bros 1t is the
best value of any we have seen for the mon
ey, and any one taking the trouble to go in
side and view the many objects of interest
will be highly instructed. The collection is
one that is of larger proportions than usually
found and include those from the air, the
sea and the land. More natural history can
be learned here in half hour than can be
studied from books in year Go and see
the collection, and come away satisfied. The

the little folks see it by all means.

respected citizens of Saltwater, and who are
now in Chicago attending the Democratic

the mark when so far from home. The tel
egrams were sent "collect." Mr.. Castles
telegram wished him to change his appear

taken for John Kelly, the great Tammany
leader. Mr.. Mathews telegram informed
him that his wannigan had broken loose and
gone down the lake. Mr.. McCarty's advised
him to work hard to select the candidate that
would be the next president. The others re-

that for little while after the receipts OF the
kilograms, the atmosphere around them fair

went and 'ssmiled" over the joke.
