Crop Report.

The United States Department of
Agriculture made the following report
Of the crops for the week ending
May %:
The week has been rather unfavOra-
BILE for the growth of vegetation, on
account Of the prevailing low temper
ature and continued clOudiness The
average weekly temperature for the
state is about 5 degrees below the
normal and from degrees to 10 de-
grees below the average temperature
for the same week last year Frosts
more or less severe occurred in all por-
tions of the state on Friday and Sat
urday nights, and in some localities
the temperature was sufficiently low
to cause the formation of ice to the
thickness Of an eighth of an inch.
Fruit was injured by the frost in a few
localities, but generally the damage
was slight. Moderately heavy rains
occurred on Monday and Tuesday, es-
peciallY in the northwestern counties,
where the total precipitation for the
week was generally in excess of one

gress during the week, notwithstand-
ing the wet weather, and is now near
completion. termination has, how
ever, been very slow, on account of
the cold weather, and fears are enter
tanned that much replanting will be
necessary. Small grains are making
rapid growth. Potato planting is pro-
crossing rapidly. Tobacco plants,
under cover, are growing rapidly.
The outlook for fruit is only fair.
Fruit trees appear to have been dam
aged to some extent by the severe
winter weather and the usual abun-
dance of blossoms is lacking. The
cold northeast winds which prevailed
during the past week have proved
more injurious to fruit than the fre-
quent frosts. Cranberries generally
escaped injury by frost and the pros
poets are for a good crop. There is
an abundance of water in the reser-

Contract tor Paving.

On last Tuesday afternoon the bids
for paving Main and West Main streets
were opened by the board of public
works, but action on them was de-
ferred until Thursday morning, when
the board again met and decided to
let the contract to L. Schoenlaub, of
Fond du Lac, whose proposal figured
in the aggregate to $28, ,504.90. The
well-known Purington brick, made at
Galesburg, ILL.,, will be used and the
contractor expects to begin work in a
very few days. Eleven bids were re-
ceived and some of them were nearly
twice as high as Mr.. Schoenlaub's,
one from Milwaukee firm being over
$40, 900. Gorder & Tetzlaff, of this
city, were among the competing firms.
The contract embraces all those por-
tions of Main and West Main streets
which lie between College avenue and
Montgomery street.

The Regulars Look Formid able.

1t was the general comment along the
line of march that the regulars made a
very formidable appearance. The infan-
try in light marching order and the
three batteries of the heavy artillery also
acted rs infantry. The guns of the light
artillery excited great interest. This bat
terry is historic one. 1t is the famous
Gregg's battery, and saved the day for
the American forces at the battle of Bu-
ena Vista in the Mexican War. The three
battalions of recruits, despite the fact
that they have not been long in service,
presented a fine appearance and are a
magnificent body of men.
That the parade moved so smoothly is
largely due to the efficiency of the aids,
who kept the various organizations well
closed up in the line of march. The band
of the Twenty-fourth played almost con-
tinually throughout the march and their
music helped to keep up the spirits of the
troops. who were somewhat fatigued by
their march in from the Presidio

formed along the side streets and fell IN
at their proper places in the procession.
Shortly before o'clock the band of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, which came IL
from the Preside upon the cars, marched
up Battery street and took its station at
the corner of Market. Next came the
regular troops under the command of
Colonel Henry B. Freeman: They
