One can Judge something of the des-
cant water makes In its course through
8 comparatively short river by learning
of the elevations of cities above the sea
level located on the water course. The
Manitowoc river rams through Chiffon.
The elevation of that city above sea level
is 900 feet, while tina. of ManItowoc Is
65S, difference of 242 feet. Oshkosh Is
only T4i feet above sea level only SO feet
higher than Manitowoc, while Green Bay
is GIG feet. A singular feature is that

NEWS comes from Boston that Stephen
Little an expert accountant is making
an examination of the property of the
Wisconsin Central with a view to It's re-
organization. Mr.. Little was here last
week in company with President Abbot
and Manager Whitcomb, Mr.. WLitcomb
will neither affirm or deny that reorganl-
cation is in progress, and says the re-
ceiyers have nothing to do with that
matter. 1t is pretty safe to say that re-
organization is contemplated. This would
take the road out OF the receivers hands.

Mr.. Braunling of the Manitowoc Cream
cry Co. was in the city last week. He
reported that the creamery at Kellner's
Corners has opened and will manufacture
butter at 8 cents per pound, returning
the skim milk to patrons. He is deter
mined to make butter-maklng pay and
insists it can be done and the farmers
greatly benefited thereby If they will
only furnish sufficient milk to keep the
creamerles running the entire year.
The difficulty heretofore has been in
insufficient quantity of milk and entire
dlscontinuance IN winter, This is the
time there is money III dairying. Prices
are always better and the demand much
greater. Hiram Smith always urged
winter dairyiug and his profits came
| largely from butter made during this
| season. These hard times should induce
farmers to study every means which
promises to better their condition, and
experience shows that winter dairying ls
profitable. Farmers should not 90 at II
in alf.hearted fashion, but in deter
mined way and IN numbers. Creameries
should get sufficient supply of milk tt
run uninterruptedly and to full capacity

children had decorated the church with
flowers and evergreens. The balcony
was trimmed With green garlands. wreaths
and many palms, while the altar was
covered with lilies and roses.
1t Is estimated that 1200 persons were
present at the morning service the church
being filled to its utmost capacity, even
| the hall being crowded and some turning
back unable to find room. In the even

numbering 260. The services we're made
especially attractive by the church choir

CHARLES SPINDLER's dwelling house
will soon be completed. La architectural
beauty and finish this is as neat house
as there is in the state. There are few
houses in which symmetry has been so
happily secured. 1t is a model of con-
veuience in all it's internal arrangements.
The finish is particularly fine. The par
lor is in ivory, the sitting room in curly
birch and all the rest in oak, There has
been no effort at display, but everything
is solid and has the elegance of sclIdity
and durability. The library which is to
be Mr.,Spindler's "den' is a oozy nook and
quite unique in it's appearance.
There has been no expense saved in
this building. Everything Is of first
class workmanship and nothing is pur-
rosely made snowy. The building adds
a great deal to the attractive features CT

Some of these snails were cannibals
and ate each other. So cannibalistlc
were they that they even ate their own
species, but now the scientist has no
cannibals living among the six hun
dred slow-crawling creatures.
One variety is over three inches at
its full lengh. The snail expert paid
fifty cents for the first OF these and it
lived to be two or three years old.
This snail was the parent OF sixty.two
others. Any one who has watched
snails slowly crawling around connect
them with anything but agreeable
sensations, and would hardly be found
handling them from choice.
But the enthusiasm OF the San Fran
cisco scientist has overcome any such
repugnance, and some snails in his
collection, which are more active and
stronger than others, crawl fearlessly
over his hand and fingers. One varl.
ETY. not only crawls about on anyone's
hand, but has very noticeable little
bite of it's own, like pin prick
New York World.
