JanesyiIle LICENSE Case.


GAINESVILLE, Wis, June 19.-[Speciall-
When the Supreme court decided that
the special license election held in James

should have been held under the general
election law and that the general law
applied. This law provides for the post
ing of five notices of election in every
precinct, which was not done, so the
case is begun over again on that line.

PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
Fond du Lac Council Struggling with the
Sewerage Nuisance.

roma Ou Lac COuncli struggling Win the
Sewerage Nuisance.
Fond du Lac Wis, June % Special
The solution of a problem which has
confronted the common councils of the
city for several years is being attempted
by the mayor and aldermen of the pres
ent year. For the past few years the
sewerage question has been a perplexing
one and owing to the financial phase of
any efforts to remedy existing conditions,
the aldermen have not been at all anxious
to tackle the matter. The main sewers
of the city empty into the east branch of
the Fond du Lac river The water in
this stream has been unusually low this
season and as the summer advances there
are no hopes for q rise in the water.
At present the Forest street exit of the
Main street sewer and the exit of the
Third street sewer, which drains the en-
tire southeastern portion of the city, are
out of water, and the stencil emanating
from these exits is being seriously com
planned of and the conditions are a men
ace to health.
DR.. r. e. Atkins, as mayor of the
city and president of the board of health,
has started an active discussion in the
premises and has offered recommended
tons to the public Improvement commit
tee, which has been partially carried out.
The river bed has been thoroughly cleaned
of rubbish and other obstacles to the
water flow and Il new channel has been
eXcavated. The mayor has suggested
that a dam be constructed, with gates,
the object in view being the collection of
water to be used for flushing purposes.
This dam, it is recommended, is to be
put across the river south of Forest
street. Some opposition to the plans of
the mayor has been shown, the opinion
being held that it is a matter of but a
few years when the river will be entire
ly dry after the usual spring freshets,
and that a dam would be entirely useless
gested is that the Main street sewer be
extended to the lake and pumping sta
ton be established. An enormous ex-
pense would follow the execution of this
plan, but eventually such action seems
inevitable. The mayors plan, which will
dangers threatened from sewage. will
probably meet with the support Of the

since the demon drove Eve out of para

sister of the century just passing away.
She will be inspired by the same hopes

which gave JOY to her sex in all ages.
Woman will win superiority in human
society, not by attempting to force her
self out of her natural sphere and by
her efforts to usurp the place of man.
but bs a judicious direction of those fac
ulties and powers with which the Creator
has crowned her. Her strength and her
lasting influence must depend upon the
proper development of womanly virtue,
not on her efforts to initiate the ways and
the manners Of men,.
