Important Move.

Washington, Oct. 22-It has been
discovered that 2500 miles additional
will be added to the United States on
the Alaskan coast and the new channel
for the Yukon bound vessels is officially
reported to the coast gcodetic survey.
The new channel minimzes the dis
tance, time and danger and it will per-
nit vessels to proceed to the Yukon
from the south and there proceed 500
miles to a safe landing before transship-
ping to smaller boats. This shortens
the distance by 400 miles.

Robinson Show Excursions

Arrangements have been perfected
with all lines of travel for special
excursion rates to the John Robinson
Greatest of All American Shows.
which exhibits in Oconomowoc. Mon
day, August %. AS this is the only
place in the vicinity where this fa-
nous big show will exhibit this season,
the opportunity to see it should be
taken advantage of by all who enioy
areally hlgh-class circus performance.
The John Robinson name needs no
introduction to the community. It
has been identified for seventy-four
years with all that is best in arenic
amusement in the United States, and
the show this year is bigger, better
and more meritorious than ever. One
OF the great attractions of the present
season is Louis Cyr, the wonderful
Canadian strong man, who holds on
his shoulders over two tons of solid
weight, besides performing many al
most incredible feats of lifting. In
addition to this special feature there
are hundreds of new and original cir
Gus acts; a thrilling Roman hippo
drome, horse fair, containing over
500 handsome horses, and grand pre-
llmlnary parade, in which the leading
features OF the menagerie and hun
dreds of professional features are ex-
h1blted free upon the streets.

The State Fair.

Never in the history of Wisconsin
has the elaborate preparations been
made for the entertainment of the pub
lie in general as has been by the board
of managers of the state board of
agriculture for the state fair at Mil
waukee the third week in September.
The grounds are being given a thor
ough overhauling and many very i'm
portant improvements being made
that will not only make it more COM
Portable for the public but for the ex-
hlbitors. The board has already ar
ranged for many special attractions,
covering all kinds of features that
will tend to please the public so that
the visitors from over the state will
be more than repaid for their visit to
Milwaukee this year. The premium
list for 1898 is one of the most liberal,
complete and thorough ever offered in
the Northwest. From the numerous in
quiries ,already received by the super
intendents of the various departments
the exhibits will be exceedingly large.
The railroads have granted the usual
half-fare rate from all parts of the
state from September Is to 25, inclu-
sive, and will grant exhibitors the US
ual rebate on all articles shipped to
the fair grounds for exhibit purposes.
President John M. True, of Baraboo,
is greatly encouraged at the outlook
for the fair this year and believes that
the first under the new board will be
a credit to the entire state.

Baseball.

AT Washington park next Sunday
afternoon the fat men and the lean

ball, and an endless amount of fun it
is supposed will result therefrom.
Some of our best known citizens will
be numbered among the players.
A splendid game was played at Fox
Lake last Sunday between the Water
towns and the Juneaus, the former
winning by score of Z to 5. Dodge
and Schultz were the battery for Wa
tertown, and Joss and Bachhuber for
Juneau. Dodge was in fine form and
our entire team showed up unusally
strong. A feature of the game was
the batting of Schultz, he securing
two three-baggers. Following is the
score by innings:

Hold Up in Jefferson.

There was considerable excitement
at the station last Tuesday evening.
The southbOund passenger train, due
here at 9:42, was on the north siding
standing near the electric light plant
waiting for the northbound train to
pass. This was considered a favorable
opportunity for five or more tramps to
attempt to secure some booty from the
passengers. Two of them entered the
cars and demanded money and valu-
ables from the passengers while the
others stood guard. Through the
prompt efforts of F. R. Moulton, as
sistant division superintendent, who
was on the train, and the train hands,
the tramps were driven off. Several
shots were exchanged, but no one was
hit. Since then five arrests have been
made. Two of the suspects we're re-
leased while the remaining three will
be arraigned this "wednesday after
noon. Those in custody give their
names as VIM. Demby, Frank Moran
and Chas. Williams. The latter is the
same person who assaulted an officer at
Watertown, then giving his name as
kearney.-Banner.

Apropos of the paving question, we
print below an extract from a letter
we recently received from a former
resident of this city, now living in
Michigan; the subject matter is espe-
cially pertinent at this time, and the
free-will argument for substantial paw
ing is no doubt of general interest:
81 notice by the papers that you
are agitating the paving question and
that some of the business men favor
macadamizing Main street. Perhaps
| can give you a little information that
will be of interest to you and the peo-
pie In general at home, and aid in dis
couraging the macadamizing of Main
street, which would prove, if the light
of experience is of any value, a costly
and unWise undertaking.
1.-The city of Ann Arbor. Mich, in
1896 macadamized five blocks of De-
troit street, the principal thorough
fare leading to the Michigan Central
depot, and which is utilized for heavy
trucking such as is done on Main street
IN, WatertOwn, at q cost Of So, 900.
The work was done in the most ap-
proved manner, under the supervision
OF competent engineers thoroughly
conversant with the best methods to
be employed to gain the greatest dur
ability. LasO spring | visited Ann
ArbOr, and this street, which at the
time left Ann Arbor in '97 was as fine
piece of roadway as could be found
anywhere, presented just about the
same appearance that Fifth street in
Watertown does after a two weeks
rain. The city of Ann Arbor has had
enough experience with macadamized
streets for heavy traffic and is now
considering the paving of it's principal
street with either brick or asphalt.
The conditions which enter into rem
derlng this piece of macadamizing ut
terly worthless and the squandering Of
large sum of money with little or no
benefit derived therefrom, are the
same that this class of work on your
Main street would be susceptible to,
viz: The action of heavy trucks cuts
up the road, and numberless teams
III wing OulO Uu0 from mud
dy thoroughfares bring quantities of
dirt and earth which gradually become
mixed with the road bed, rendering
it no better than that Of the surround
ing streets.
"These are a few facts which have
come under my personal observation,
and If the knowledge of them will shed
any light on the matter or help to pre-
vent repetition of this folly, l will
consider myself well paid for the trou-
BILE of stating them. If there is anyone
who desires to look into this matter
further and profit by precedent which
is exactly in point, he can write to
Charles Z. Hiscock, mayor of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, who think will substan-
tlate all that have said. 1t might be
well for the city council to look into
this case, before taking a step that
would only end as this did,

A War Song.

A nightly hand is beckoning,
A mighty trumpet calls,
TO plant our glorious banner
On the foreign tyrants' walls;
1t echoes in our peacefal homes,
1t fills our country's halls
As freedom marches on.
For thy sacred cause, o! Liberty,
The guerdon of the free,
The flower of our nation
Lies perishing for thee;
Our hearts beloved are sacrificed
In blood far DER the sea-
As freedom marches on.
Lo still the hand keeps beckoning
And still the trumpet peals,
We must bow beneath the bloody cross
That dear bought victory wields;
Rejoicing in our righteous cause
And the triumph that it Yields
As freedom marches on.

bers were also reelected.
