The writer visited the western part
OF the county last week and while in Min
ocqua enjoyed delightful ride ON the
beautiful Naptha Launch ''Ninnle b.
which A. j. Bolger recently launched in
Lake Ka-we-gue-sa-ge, one Of the pref
TEST lakes in the state. we We're taken
to the outlet OF the lake, the sight Of the
famous Minocqua Dam Which went out
few days ago, leaving the water in the
lake over four feet below the level author
lied by the dam charter. Hundreds OF
acres along the lake shore which has
been submerged for years, now lies above
the water, covered with edecayed vega
table matter and the germs OF disease.
The sight is, indeed, a desolato one to
bt hold and the damage to the summer
residence property, along the beautiful
banks of Lake ka-We-gue-sa-gp to the
business men of Minocqua and thetown
on account of damage to town bridges,
is many thousands OF dollars. In all
probability much sickness will resula. 1t
would seem that ii the dam owners can
not construct and maintain a dam sat
isfactory to the publicand according to
law, they ought not to be permitted to
put in "a dam at all.

scheme in his noddle for the past few
weeks to do something in order TO show
his appreciation to the people Of Eagle
River for past patronage and favors
He couldn' afford to furnish them all
With free transportation to the Carnival
at Milwaukee, nor did he feel equal to
immortaIizing his name as II beneficiary
to an orphan asylum, SO at last he con
cluded to get the steamer Eagle and give

be enjoyed by all who can make arrange

White Stockings Now.

The black stockings reign is begin
ming to draw to close so far as fashion
able women are concerned. Nothing
has these last few years been more out
OF date and worse form than the white
stockings, and yet the styles of the sum-
mer announce it's coming in again. .Deci-
dedly remarkable is this change in ideas
On every conceivable occasion where
there is the slightest excuse for il the
white stocking will now be worn. 1t
can hardly come in with tailor suits, Of
course, and 1t is out of the question like
wise with sporting skirts, but whenever
a muslin, cotton, silk or Organdia gown
is donEed white stockings will go With
it, among the smartest girls at all events
Beside these white stockings, pnks
and blues and stockings OF other hues
will be alphabetically at a discount. 1t
is no longer going to be the vogue for
TIE stockings to match the frock.-New

Bladder TrOnbleS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.

Narrow Gauge Damaged by Flood.

High water resulting from the con.
tinued thaw of last week did considera'
BILE damage to the narrow gauge. An
ice jam, three miles above Brattleboro,
Saturday flooded two hundred yards OF
the track and short time after the
passage of the mail train up short
portion of the track slid down the riv.
er bank. Sunday afternoon the ice
Jam gave away and Monday gang of
men repaired the damage so far as to
admit the passage Of trains. ln the
mean time the mail train was delayed
at Newfane occasioned by tressle, put
in to brace broken chord of the
bridge, being washed out. Monday
evening it was concluded to risk a trial
of getting across, the engine was de-
tached from the tender and safely
drayn across by ropes; the tender and
cars were then run over and the train
proceeded arriving here about 10 o.
clock. Prior to this postal clerk
Franklin and rakeman Lyle Carpen-
ter came up on a hand car bringing
the mail. Tuesday the bridge was
thoroughly examined by the master
bridgeman and pronounced safe and
all trains have since been crossing it.

A Drop of Water.

What an endless source of study
and research would be necessary to
enable one to understand such sim
pie little thing as drop of water
Even what little is known about it is
intensely interesting. A drop of wa
ter is inhabited. 1t has its flora and
fauna. Ii reduced to temperature
of 32 degrees above zero it gains in
bulk ten per cent and then solidfies
or turns into ice. If reduced to
eleven hundred degrees below zero it
loses about 81 per cent of its bulk
but the weight remains the same at
this temperature it becomes the hand
est substance in nature. 1t would be
about six times as hard as the finest
steel, and with it your name could be
scratched upon the purest diamond
that was ever mined. Raise the tenn
perature to PIP degrees and it turns
into vapor; apply beat to the vapor
until it is decomposed, then you have
oxygen gas aud hydrogen gas. Stick
a match to either Of these gases and
they burn. Take the drop OF water,
put Il on the fire thus created and it
is extinguished.
