Street Paving.

$4,000 job Of street paving is now
in progress at Waukesha and The
Freeman thus describes the method,
which we think will be of particular
interest to our readers at this time:
In accordance with the specifications
excavating was commenced in front
Of the high school Monday morning.
Eight heel scrapers, a plow gang and
about twenty wOrkmen were given en-
plOyment; and the number will be iIf-
creased as the +" ork proceeds. The
method OF building streets after the
most approved city style is quite
curiosity, aud when any of the alder
men have been in the vicinity they
have been piled with questions as to.
how it is done. The method adopted
here is considered first class in every
respect and IS similar to that used in
many Of the cities of Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois. After the excava-
ton is done the street is leveled off
and tie curbing is set. A base COM,
posed Of SIX inches of sand, cement
and crushed stone is placed oG top Of
the dirt, which sets and forms solid
masonry. Over this layer OF sand is
laid Oh which the bricks are set, with,
the fOur-lnch side down and with joints
broken. The street is then flooded
block at a time and the steam roller
run over 1t until the bricks are as level
as floor, except for the slope from the
center. A composition of asphaltum.
is then used to fill up the space be-
tween the bricks and the work is fin
ished. The dirt taken from the street
is now being used to fill the low places
near the Central and Northwestern
crossings Where the contractors are
obliged to haul the dirt more than 900
feet an extra price per yard will be-
charged, but it is probable that the
dirt excavated on Grand avenue will
all be disposed of without extra cost to
the city.

Another Suicide

Sunday morning, while his wife was
at church. Ferdinand Dodtke, an aged
farmer Lying about two miles south o
the city, ended his life by hanging
himself in his barn. When Mrs Dodt.
ke returned home she found the dead
mans body suspended by rope from
a beam. The deceased had been il
poor health for some time, and this is
assigned as the cause of the rash act.
A coroner's jury empaneled by Justice
Henze rendered verdict Of suicidal
death Monday afternoon. Mr. Dodtke
was II years of age and is survived by
three children besides his wife. The
funeral was held yesterday.

fully shows TO the court:
l. That at the times hereinafter mentioned
the above named defendant, the city of Water
town, was and still is municipal corporation
duly organized under the laws of the state of
Wisconsin;
2 That on the 9th day of November, 1896,
and on divers days between that day and the
time of this action, the above named defend
ants unlawfully and with force and arms broke
and entered upon the plaintiffs land, situated
in E. w. Coles addition, in the Seventh ward
of said city of Watertown, in the county of
jefferson, in the state of Wisconsin, and took
down and destroyed large quantity of board
fences standing upon said land of the plaintiff,
and removed the same, and plowed up large
portion of said land of the plaintiff, and also
then and there disturbed the plaintiff in the
use and occupation of said land for period of
more than five months, aud prevented him
from enioying the same as he otherwise would
have done and was entitled to do, and other
wise injured said premises, all to the great

This suit grows out of proceeding
instituted last fall to remove what were
considered distractions in William

meeting held August Is, 1896. Aid.
Kehoe introduced resolution to have
the property holders remove the en-
croachments on the above named
streets, which was referred to the board
of uublic works. On September 10 the
board recommended the passage OF
said resolution. The property holders
failing to remove the encroachments
(fences) within the specified time, the
work of removal was performed under
the street commissioner supervision.

fairs on both trails is terrible, and
hundreds Of men are bound to starye
and freeze to death if they continue to
come this way. I passed at least
thousand men between Dyea and here,
and not mere than 100 have got their
outfits this side Of the summit. Every
fifty yards along the trail are piles OF
goods, and 1 suppose there are prov1-
sions to the value of $500, 900 scattered
along the trail.
Prices for packing and for all kinds
of service are practically prohibitive
for most of those who are attempting
to get il; so many are carrying over
their own outfits. Some of the Indians
carry as much as 200 pounds at one
load, and make the trip from Dyea to
Lake Lindeman in two days, return
ing to Dyea on the third day, thus
making two trips a week. White men
carry from rs to 125 pounds, and it
takes a man with an adequate outfit
a month to get to the lake. There are
many here who have been five or six
weeks packing their outfits over and
are not ready to start down the river
yet. All who have come to Skaguay
or Dyea within the last week or so,
have to come in without sufficient out
fit, pay 40 cents or more a pound, or
not get in at ALL

boats are getting away every day with

made to show Luetgert's alleged rela-
tons with Mary Siemmering and other
women, the defense entered a vigorous
objection. Attorney Vincent protested
that this line of evidence was highly
improper, and he objected to it, as in
competent. He declared that no mo-
tive could be drawn from it, and that
would simply tend to prejudice the
minds of the jurors. Attorney Phalen,
for the defense, said he would not OBJ
ject to this evidence. The division Of
counsel for the defense on this point
occasioned surprise. Ex-Judge Vincent
declared the evidence was only collat-
eral. and that it's only effect would
be to blast the reputation of Mary
Siemmering, who was to be a witness
for the defense
Judge Tuthill took the disputed point
under Amusement and adjourned court
until next Tuesday morning. The adj
journment over Monday was taken to
permit the defense ample time to pre-
pare for it's opening statement, and the
line of defense to be adopted.
