There were no cases yesterday morning at
the municipal court, and the city is kept as
quiet as any on the continent.
There was good attendance last evening
at the social hop given by the Odd Fellows in
their hail. Their parties have always been
pleasant ones.
At the residence of Mr.. J. J. Robertson,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Prince entertained a
large party at progressive euchre. They had
pleasant time.
Besides the rink band several from this
city went to the masquerade carnival at the
roller skating rink at Hudson, Wis, last
evening. They had lively time.
The attendance last evening to hear the
Rev. Peter Stryker, D. D., lecture on 'Mat-
rimony'' was good, and the synopsis of his
lecture will make good Sunday reading.
Mr. Frank Chartrand and wife returned
from their short wedding trip on Thursday
evening, and will be at home at their rooms
on Union place, which has been fitted up
very nicely.
The three rising legal lights had their usual
law lesson from Judge Murdoch, and the
way they listened and took notes shows con-
clusively that they intend to pass a very
creditable entrance examination.
If Charlie Staples arrives from Bronson
to-day he and Dave will leave tonight for
New Orleans. Dave says he will wait for
him no longer, but will start alone. He in
tends to see Mardi Gras in full blow.
Fred Pennington, who has come home
from the pany's camps on the Chicog

hauling is good. He goes back again in a
few days.
This afternoon, at South Saltwater, one of
the three who have chosen the legal profess
sion will put his spurs on for the first time,
and from the preparations made and the
deep consideration given to the subject, no
doubt he will show that in legal fight he
will be no mean opponent.
Mr.. j. II. Black and wife, of st. Peter,
MIMI, were in the city yesterday, and went
through the state prison, accompanied by
DR.. Dunn, whose church they attended be-
fore the doctor came to Saltwater. Mr.

Peter insane asylum for some time.

ceived here, sent by Mr.. w. C. Conrad to his
son, but having been in the great snow storm
and frozen in Chicago everything was de-
stroyed. However, the oranges were still on
the branch on which they grew, and the other
fruits were shown as picked without the pro-
cess of cleaning from the husks.
The Mannerchor masquerade ball comes off
at Music hall on Tuesday evening next.
Some three hundred invitations have been
issued, many replies having been received
accepting. The Germans get up such enter.
tainments more successfully than those Of
any other nationality, and the coming one
will not be an exception to the rule.
Mrs. Cover. accompanied by her sons,
Harry of this city and John from southern
Arizona, arrived home yesterday morning.

done great things. In a short time he will
be at work again, and, although minus an
arm, he will be able to fill his foreman's
position as well as before. He has only to
direct the work. He is a skillful workman
or he would not have had such responsible
position.
Yesterday afternoon Judge McCluer, of the
district court, rendered Il decision in the case
of the attachments made in Wisconsin on
the Walker, Judd 81 Veazie property by st.

found he was going to the city hall cells he
confessed TO the taking of the money. Be
fore arrest he threatened that if Mr. Curtis or
La Rue made any com plant, he would chop
their heads through with an ak, and as soon
as he got out he would burn the premises of
Mr.. Curtis. This morning he will haze ~
answer tO,the latter charges in addition to
the stealing.
The courts have decided that the city is
liable for all injuries caused by defective
sidewalks, and not the parties who have the
walks IN front Of their premises. This will,
no doubt, cause a numb Der of cases TO come
before the courts, as Saltwater has the worst
and most irregular sidewalks to be found in
any city in this state. This will force the
council next summer to make a general
Ovcrhauling. and as the assessment of abut-
ting property for building sidewalks has been
made legal, there will be large outlay next
summer. Property owners may build the
walks themselves, which they can do much
more cheaply than the city will, as a man en-
gagged by private individual works better
than one engaged by corporation The
"ity should employ the best men, and pay
them accordingly.
Mr.. RamsdeD, who lives few miles out
side the city, has for series Of years kept
record Of the weather. He reports that the
month Of January, just past, has been the
most severe and has shown lower tempera-
ture than any he has kept record OF, aver
aging 1915 below for the month. He says
his thermometer does not register as low by
several degrees as those in the city, but his
and the signal service agree very nearly.
