WISCONSIN WEATHER SERVICE.
By Chas. E. Linney, Director, for the Week end.
ing Tuesday, Sept. Is, 1894.

Bulletin No. %.
The weather conditions during the
past week have been all that could be
desired. Rainfall has been sufficient
for all needs, and temperatures about
normal, causing vegetation to take on a
new growth. The beneficial effects of
the late rains can be seen on every
hand, but is most noticeable on meadow
now green. Fall feed is abundant.
Cattle can now live without extra feed,
and III consequence the flow of milk is
increasing. The soil is in excellent
condition for blowing and seeding and
that work is being pushed forward
rapidly, the acreage of fall seeding
being greater than last year. A few
fields of late potatoes will be benefited
by the recent rains as the tops are still
green, but the crop is generally being
dug and a moderate yield is shown,
except in the northwest counties where
the deficiency i'll rainfall has been
greater than any other pant of the state,
the crop is very poor and beyond help
from rain.
Corn is about all cut and considerable
has been husked. The yield is some
what better than expected. The
ripening Of late planted corn has been
retarded by the rains, but the crop is
generally out Of danger from frost.
Early tobacco is now in the she'd, and
the late crop which promises to be the
better, soon will be. Cranberry picking
is about over and the crop is extremely
light. Frosts were general on the 18th
and 10Th but did very little damage. A
severe wind storm passed over West
field doing considerable damage to
buildings and fences.

An exchange hits the nail on the head
IN the following: eve were little sur
prised a few days ago to find $50 in the
road beside hedge at the corner of a
prosperous farmers home and more so
to find that it had laid there several
months unmolested and beginning to
look the worse from exposure. The
money was in the shape of moving
machine that will have to be replaced
with new one before many years I'M
less cared for better than that"
F. Wood has had a high grade
cement walk laid II feet vide and six
inches thick in front of his new brick
block. Concrete illuminating thing
above the lower windows will help to
furnish lighting for the basement. This
is the first sidewalk of its kind laid
before any business place IN either city
and only adds to the statement that the
Wood block will be the most modern
equipped and thoroughly complete bust
ness home in the twin cities
In driving by the Centralia school
house grounds recently our attention
was called to the crowded condition of
the shade trees. Some are more thrifty
than others and crowding them so that
they are dying. Those in authority
here ought to take out some Of these
trees and allow the other ones room for
growth. The grounds would look
better and the shade would be deeper
than at present. The surroundings and
yard of the Centralia school are beauti-
full, far ahead Of the majority of school
grounds in the state for natural scenery,
and they should receive proper care.
School Board please look after this
matter before it is too late.
The following taken from the Cum
berland Advocate expresses our wishes
in regards to items of news: eve have
been in the newspaper business a good
many years and we have yet to see an
editor who would Intentionally or will
fully omit a personal or other item of
news. The omission Of news from the
paper is usually caused by the false
modesty of people in not reporting it to
the editor or office. If you have friends
visiting you from abroad, it is only a
matter Of common courtesy to them to
hand the item in to the newspaper
office, and it will always be appreciated
as favor by the editor. If you are
public-spirited you will give the news
paper every item of news that comes to
your notice, Of interest to the general
public, especially news Of any improv-
ments III the city"

which were used for Illuminating the
dome during the cncafnplnent OK the
knights Of Pythlas.
1t was the first time a man had stood
there since the Goddess was put IN Ios'-

mounted the Goddess by means Of a lad
dsr held by Capitol employees from the
ttpmOst window Of the dome. II was

risky work was completed .hree hours
later. By that time hig crowd hal col

leaves. asparagus. roses. and carnations.
Then Grace read an Invocation to free

doing They saw him fold the manu-
script, and then. 20 the horror Of many
Ports began climbing 10 the top Of Ii

nacle he hesitatcd a moment, and then
slowly and carefully raised himself TO an
erect position. For a minute he stood
there In the presence Of the crowd below
with Grace sull a-straddle Of Liberty's
neck Ports made the descent as slowly
and carefully as he had made the ascent
and both ne ana Grace reached the land
