JAKE GAUCH OF Centerville is road
master of the district in which the village
is located and is said to be one of the
most dilgent in the county. Jake is a
retired farmer and quite wealthy and
looks after the condition Of the roads as
if it was purely personal to him. Direct
ly after the snow storm the latter part of
roads in that section were the first open
ed ipkhe county.

CENTERVILLE HARBOR.

The people OF Centerville are quite ac-
tive In pushing the interests of their pro-
posed harbor and although they have had
considerable difficulties to overcome, they
have things in a very fair shape to secure
a favorable report from Inc Chief of En-
glneers and an appropriation later. They
have already secured the signatures of
40 lake captains and vessel owners to q
petition for survey and appropriation.
Twenty four Of these are from Sheboygan
and eighteen from Manitowoc. Lake
captains say the bay is one of the finest
on the lakes and furnishes good anchor
age and that a harbor at that place could
be made in storm much easier than any
other in the lake.
The engineer in charge of Lake Michi-
gan harbors speaks favorably Of the loca-
ton and the feasibility of having a har-
Dor there, but has ordered no survey be-
cause the fund for that purpose is ex-
hausted. There is not much doubt that
survey will be made after the present
congress will have made general appro-
priations for that purpose.
The people of tho village have already
subscribed $4,000 for docking. At one
meeting $1,000 were raised. Lands have
been purchased and are held in trust for
the government if it should begin the
work of improvement. w. T. Albers is
quite active in behalf of the project and
has prepared table showing the ship
ments and receipts by rail from Center
vile for the past year. He has also en-
listed the cooperation of influential men
from outside.
To show that the hopes of an appro-
priation are not confined to residents of
the village, it need only be mentioned
that lots favorably located for manufac-
tories have already been purchased by
people from outside, not for speculative
purposes but as sites for factories in
case the harbor becomes fact. All the
farmers of the surrounding country are
enthusiastically In favor of the project
while the people of the village have no
anticipations of failure.

Contemplate The Chances !

The month OF January is the month
favorable to buyers. And especially is
this the case In first class Dry Goods
houses. Proprietors, besides not liking
to carry any winter goods over to another
season, have to make room In their stores
for spring arrivals. Consequently, as a
rule, they make VERY SUBSTANTIAL RE-
DUCTIONs in prices. Such is the case
with US just now. Look:

II is ely time" as the tormentep
mousse keeper well knows And hence
the suggestion made by writer in the
Congregationalist is reasonable. The
secret OF success, she says, is in begin
ming the battle early in the season. Go
over the house in the morning, and with
wet cloth kill every fly which is GER
tain TO seek the warmth Of the sunny
window-panes; this will prevent the
matching of hundreds later on, for
naturalists assert that 800 are only the
average brood from a single fly. The
other places where they are most likely
TO deposit their eggs are in the dust
which gathers, even in most clearly
houses, behind books in bookcases, in
the spnce between double windows, and
behind the weights and cords of win
dows. These are places, too, where the
buffalo bug and various other insects are
apt TO Turk. SO that il will pay TO keep a
sharp lookout for every kind of possible
pest while in search Of the harmless but
annoying fly.

a very large spider weaving its web among
the vines attracted HIS attention. He went
closer 10 look at Il, and presently called TO
Neddic, who was playing in tho yard;
"Ncddie, como and sec this huge spidern
81 can't come now, Unclo Alex replied
Neddie, 'I'm on duty"
Uncle Alex stopped looking at tho spider

gravely pacing up and down before his

tho big cherry tree. win Ramsey and two

"None 10 do il reverence" cannot be
said of the Fourth Of July, 1888. The
whole Northwest commenced on that
date a jubilee, the like of which has
never been known in this country; and
to the general patriotism excited by the
occurrence of the "Declaration" ami
yersary, is added the special influence Of
the fact that 1888 marks the first century
of the existence of the Northwestern
portion Of the United States as a civil
lied community. Only one hundred
years of time separates the eras of the
wild beast and Indian from that of the
arts of peace, and the white mans cul-
ture; but the path of human progress
expandsIke fan, and it may be truly
said that the work of the past century
has been the utilization of the expert
ence and labors of all previous ones. In
no place has this been more conspicuous
than in the West, and proud of their
record, its denizens, through the 'hun-
bred day" Centennial Exposition inau-
gurated at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the
Fourth of July, are concentrating the
lapse of an even century since the white
man began to redeem the wilderness,
and substitute his peculiar institutions
and define its methods for the haphaz-
ard ways Of poor Lo.
