1t has before been rumored that
Ward Bloss, Of Salem, is a candidate
for the shrievalty nomination on the

been purely rumor. We have just re-
ceived a communication from Mr. Bloss

up his mind to become candidate and
from now on to convention time he will
use every honorable endeavor to secure

Chairman Fred j. Schroeder of the
racing board of the Wisconsin Divi-
sion, L. A. W., who has charge of the
arranging of the state circuit which
is to be opened on or about August 20,
has completed a circuit which will
probably be followed with a few
changes. Mr.. Schroeder during the
past few weeks has received number
of applications for dates on the circuit,
but as many cities have been slow in
asking for sanctions the chairman of
the racing board has assigned dates to
such cities which he thinks will hold
meets sometime in August or Septem-
Der. On August % the run will be to
Racine or Kenosha.
The Yacht Club dance at Central
Music hall, of which mention was made
IN Mondays paper, was very pleasant
affair. The hall was prettily decorated
in palms, ferns and flowers which the
ladies of the Ferris Wheel club had
tastefully arranged on the platform
and chandeliers. The music by Schultz
was excellent as usual, and judging
from the happy enthusiasm displayed
by all present every one had a most
enjoyable time. The yachtsmen wore
duck suits and the ladies light airy
dresses making very pretty scene.
Among those present from abroad were

That street through the Carrie Lee
property came up before the council
again Monday evening in the form of
another petition. The committee on
streets, alleys and bridges reported in
favor of having commissioners appoint
ed to assess the benefits and damages
on this matter and the proposed street
through the Hollister & Meers addition
at the same time. The report on the
latter street was favorable. j. NJ
Stebbins addressed the council on the
matter. He said the street as petition
ed for this time angled little to the
west about thirty five feet, and that in
meeting the Hollister & Meers street
there would have to be only another
five feet added to make street
straight through. He suggested that
good, sound business men be appoint
ed as commissioners. No commission
ers were elected and the matter there
fore may be said to hang fire.
