Made a Flag.

1t is seldom that man attempts to
do work in the sewing line even for
himself, but A. A. Hardie, of this city
has been experimenting in that line
and has made a success Of the under
taking. He recently conceived the
idea of making United States flag
and after selecting the materials set
to work. The result of his Iabors was
thrown to the breeze over his place OF
business to-day, and it would be a credit
to any seamstress. "Old Glory" is
depicted in all its colors, and is seven
feet in length. Mr.. Hardie selected
the goods and with the aid of a sew
ing machine finished the flag himself.
1t is creditable piece of work and he
has been highly complimented by his
numerous lady friends. Thursday S

Attractions of Lake Mills.

Watertown frequenters Of Lake

the following from last weeks Leader:
1.-The Chicago Record of Tuesday
makes pleasant mention of Lake Mills
as q summer resort, speaks of the
many cottages on the lake shore,
Of the new proprietor of the Park
hotel, G. T. Williams, and his extern
sive hotel experiences at Delevan lake
and in Chicago, makes mention of II.
j. AndersOn's new gasoline launch
now on the lake ready for excursions,
talks of the fine fishing here, and the
railroad cOnyeniences. all in a compli-
mentary way without eXaggeration,
but, if out Of balance in any way, too
tame to do our village and it's charm
ing surroundings real Justice. It is
true that Lake Mills, with beautiful
Rock lake dancing at its feet, it's
lovely groves, beautiful residences and
quiet retreats, it's excellent boating
and fishing, offers large inducements
to the resorter over many places in
the state whose names have been
heralded far and wide, and there are
many people who have learned this,
hence they come here from year to
year in annually increasing numbers,
from Chicago, New York, ST. Louis,
Quincy, Terre Haute, Indianapolis, St.
Paul, ETC., and from many places in
Wisconsin to cottage and to camp on
the lake shore and enjoy the sweet
breezes that float from the bosom of the
lake out among the trees to refresh
and cheer the lounger in his hours of
relaxation and recuperation. Already
the cottagers and the campers have
commenced to arrive, st. Louis. Chi
cago and other places are already rep
resented, and soon many familiar
and many new faces will be seen on
our streets, and the lake will be
dotted with the crafts which carry
the loungers to pretty, shaded places
and the fishermen to the hiding places
of the fnny tribes which people the
pure waters of old Tyranena.

MAIN STREET PAVING.
The Matter Delayed by the Council
Condition of the Sewer Inter-
feres with Prompt A ction


At the adjourned meeting of the COM
mon council, the question of paving
Main street was the principal matter
discussed. The only material draw
back to the proposed improvement
seems to be the condition of the sewer
in that street, there being a question
as to whether it lies sufficiently deep
to furnish the proper drainage for
cellars. 1t is argued that before paw
ing is commenced all underground
improvements should he put in per-
manent shape.
Aid. Brusenbach, chairman Of the
sewerage committee, presented a
statement from the different property
owners on Main street in relation to
the condition of the sewer and the
paving proposition. According TO
this report there is an almost unani-
nous sentiment for paving, but one
fourth of the property owners are of
the opinion that the sewer is not deep
enough to provide the required drain
age for their cellars, and that this
discrepancy should be remedied be-
fore any other step is taken. The
alderman stated that in his opinion
the trouble is caused by improper
connections, which could be easily
righted. He also said that in some
cases the flooding Of cellars is caused
by roof water. The sewer con-
nections could be made all right by
putting in traps to regulate the flow
of back-water. City Engineer Stanch-
field bore out Aid Brusenbach in his
position, and said further that some
OF the storm water now affecting
Main street sewer could easily be
diverted to other courses.
Several other aldermen, including
Messrs. Wertheimer, Mayer, jacob
and Edwards, took a hand in the dis
cussiOn, and finally the matter was
left with the passage of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the city engineer
be and he is hereby instructed to pre-
pare accurate figures in regard to the
Easements complained of and that
those property owners be presented
with the measurements and asked
whether they would rather conform
their basement to the sewer or
whether they would insist upon laying
the sewer deeper. and report same to
the council at the next regular meet
ing.
The committee on waterwOrks made
the following report, which was ac-
cepted:
The committee on waterwOrks have
examined the we'll at the power house
and find no shavings or saw dust
there, but would recommend that
the waterwOrks commissioners be in
structed to have the well covered, as
in the opinion of the committee it is
dangerous at present.
Touching on the report, Aid. Nc
Golrick said that different sorts of
refuse were found near the we'll, and
in order to prevent this being drawn
in, a cover should be provided, with
an opening for water properly con-
structed. The well in its present un-
condition, he said, was also dangerous,
as, persons might be drowned in it.
The amount of Joseph Jantzen's
bond on the street sprinkling contract
was fixed at $4,000.
