the foliage in the vicinity.
An individual was found rolling
around Dakota avenue in the wee sma'
hours of yesterday morning, carrying a
jag altogether out of proportion to his
capacity. He was promptly cOllared by
the officer on the beat, and when sub
jected to the glare of the station lights
proved to be Bob Cruikshank, who had

A large number of people interested
in the completion of the uptown bridge
repaired to the south end of the struct

and still others thought it just perfect.

in favor or the bridge as it is, and many
an airy vision of summer drives across
the new lookout were INDUCED in by
the fair sex.
The plans for the new opera house
building on Dakota avenue, which have
been prepared by E. Strasbruger, show

difficulty has been experienced as to
the exact boundaries of the site select
ed. 1t is understood, however, that the
work will proceed Immediately.
The matter of street car line extern
sion will be brought up before the citi-
ZenS' union at the next session. EXten-

degree. The chief complaints against
the present condition of the service
come from Winifred street. 1t is claimed
that any ordinary walker can cover the
intervening mile and a-half between
that point and the center of the city be-
fore being overtaken by car.

number, the practice games played yes
terday must have been numerous.

needed on the West side.
A number of young folks from the
