Special Correspondence of the Globe
RICE LAKE, Aug. 11.-Last Saturday ev-
ening at Opera hall, out of over one hun
dred enrolled members there was about
seventy-fve present at the organization of a
Cleveland and Hendricks club. We will
meet again tonight with a full attendance.
The brass band win be in attendance, and
political speeches will be given by some of
the ablest men OF Democratic rank in this
section. It is expected by Democrats and
admitted by the Republicans that this will be
the largest political gathering ever held in
this county. Every Democrat is enthusiasts
tic and the young men who compose a large
portion of this body are extremely enthusi-
astic. They say give us a man that will stand
upon the platform of the party that nomi-
mated him, who does not want TO inaugu-
rate campaign of his own upon issues that
the party las to to take care of after the
candidate makes them. 1t lis not the Repub-
lican party they dislike so much as it is the
Blaine party. Who ever heard of candi-
date ignoring his party platform, and setting
up policy or plan of his own. When any
republican does this give us Col: Villas for
governor, or some equally good man, and
you will see Wisconsin give a Democratic
majority ON the national ticket.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Fourth Street Paving Assess
ment COMPLETED. Etc.

ment Completed, Etc.
At the regular meeting of the board of
public works yesterday afternoon all the
members were present, and Mr.. Harrington
presiding the following business was trans
acted.
In the matter of the complaint Of Edward
Lofstadt and others that the box drain on
Josettc street is not being laid deep enough
the same was reported back to the council
with the statement that the drain is sufficient
for a surface drain, for which it was in
tended.
The engineer was directed to set stakes on
Glencoe and L'Orient streets, to show cuts
and fills and the effect on the property for a
change of grade.
The petition of W. #. Golsh for equaliza
ton of the assessment for the Williams
Smith, Risque IL Williams addition was re-
freed TO the engineer to report as to the size
of the lot.
The following assessments were confirmed:
Sewer on Western avenue, from Seventh
street TO point forty feet south of Won Min
den street; grading and guttering Josette
street, from Dayton avenue to Fuller street.
The assessment for paving and curling
Fourth street, from Jackson to Seventh street
was completed, and the clerk directed to give
confirmation notice.
The matter of the extention of the alley in
block 10, Asylum addition to St. Paul from
It's present terminus to Bay street was re-
terred to the whole board to view the prem
ises.
The Engineer reported in reference to
grading Canada street from Ninth to Valley
street and surfacng the same with stone,
that the specifications contemplated an under
laying OF large stone, covered to a depth of
four inches with smaller stones and finished
with coating of building material about
one inch in thickness. This kind of work is
desirable in some places, but not in locality
where stone would have to be hauled so far.
He thought better class of work would be
more economical even if the first cost was
greater, and recommended pine block paving
with rough granite curbs, the pine blocks to
be laid in sand. This will make a good
road way surface, which is easily kept clean,
will last about six years, and will cost little
more than the proposed stone surfacing.
. The matter was referred back to the Engi-
neer for plan and estimate of cost.
The city treasury was requested to report to
the board the amount paid in on the Sew
enth street improvement assessment up to
Friday, Aug Is.
j. p. Allen and Mrs. NJ. A. Reny, prop
erty owners on both sides of Norris street,
running back 100 feet from the corner of
Canada street, reported that the contem-
plated sewer on Norris street be so con-
structed as to drain into the Temperance
street sewer, and that no sewer be con-
structed in front of their property, as they
have connection already with the Canada
street sewer, and as the first 100 feet of the
new sewer, west of Canada street, would be
of no use TO any one. The matter was re-
ferred to the engineer for report

A STRANGE STORY.
A Young Woman Claims to Have Been
Assaulted and Outraged.

She was not an old girl, and yet the first
bloom of confiding and tender young
youth had faded from her long since expec-
tant face, and the casual observer would say
that she had arrived at the period of wistful-
ness. She strolled into the police court yes
terday and demurely inquired for the clerk.
property blush mantled the tawny cheek
of the latter, and he put on the knowing
kind of a smile generally assumed on such
occasions. The damsel was in trouble, and
in the vernacular of the town he was dead
onto her. She related a strange and sad
story, and one that was truly horrible.
Her story went as follows: She was Miss
Curron, and she resided under her ancestral
roof in a shanty near the Third street railroad
crossing. Up to few days ago she had a
lover; his name was Dennis, and he was
sweet on her, and a couple of Sundays ago,
in the Silly night, when the harvest moon
was shedding its soft lustre over the parental
abode, and when no sound ruffied the tran
guilty of the am ient air but the weird, low
song of the bull frog, he popped the question.
She declined, on the ground thai her mother
wouldn't let her marry.
week afterwards she paid a visit to her
aunt's, descendant of one of the Ulster
kings, who resides in the classic patch known
as the Conemara settlement. Dennis
dropped around in the evening and offered
to see her home. They started down the
railroad track and after proceeding short
distance he knocked her down and outraged
her person. Then, she states, they
talked it all over calmly when he repeated the
offense. She was then too weak to walk
home, and he kindly assisted her. This was
three weeks ago. Now she wants him ar
rested but he has skipped out, and the clerk
thinks it isn't much of case anyway.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The Jobber's Journeys Shores Of
Lake Como, Etc.

Lake Como, Etc.
The business before the board Of directors
of the chamber yesterday morning was not
of a general nature, and was soon disposed
Of.
THE JoBBER's UNION.
After attending to some routine business
In regard to the new Chamber of Commerce
building Mr.. McClung called the attention OF
the board to the fact that the Jobber's Union
had made three trips into the western part OF
the state, the territory of Dakota and up into
the British possessions as far as Winnipeg
He regarded these trips as new departure
and thought they would attract considerable
attention. Thinking that the board OF di-
rectors of the chamber ought to recognize
the fact, he had prepared a resolution
which he read.
DR.. Day seconded the resolution and in
doing so took occasion to say that the trips
were very successful in all respects, and that
they served to produce the best of feeling
on the part of both the visitors and the visited.
He desired also to record the fact that the
jobbers were royalty entertained by the COM
munities through which they passed.
Mr. Castle wished to correct one thing.
II had been stated in some of the papers that
the iobbers had deadneaded theirway through
the country. This was not correct. They
carried their own supplies and paid for all
they had.
Mr.. Gilman expressed the opinion that the
resolution should be modified somewhat, and
suggested that it be sent to committee for
that purpose.
Hon. P. II. Kelly favored Mr.. Gilman's
idea, and in expressing his views declared
that while the jobbers were going through
the country distance of over 5000 miles,
they had been received by the people in the
kindest and most hospitable manner, and
all the iobbers came back with more exalted
ideas of the sol.dity Of the people ''out west, :"
and with enlarged and corrected ideas Of
their ability and prosperity. At the conclu-
sion OF Mr., Kelly's remarks the resolution
was referred to the mercantile committee.
LAKE COMO SHORE.
The following, offered by II. P. Hall, was
adopted:
IeSolyed, That the committee on streets,
roads and parks, be instructed to investigate
the cost and practicabilty of securing the
land around the entire shore of Lake Como
for park purposes and report as early as con-
yenient what legislation or other steps would
be necessary to secure such property.
