"A reporter of the Highland Press
interviewed one Of the principal men
concerned in the construction of the
new railroad, and gives out the fol-
lowing information: "All prelimi-
nary work will be done this winter
and as soon as spring opens and the
weather permits operations will be
commenced and the work completed
by the middle of next summer. 1t
will in all probability be third-rail
system, thus doing away with the
poles and overhead trolley, and be-
sides this the capacity for pulling
loads will be greater. The line is
supposed to connect Highland, Cobb,
Linden, Dodgeville and Mineral
Point and extend as far north as
Muscoda, thus connecting the G. &
y. W., Illinois Central and Milwau-
kee roads, and arrangements will be
made with all these roads so that
loaded cars can be transferred from
them to the Mineral Point and North
ern and vice versa, thereby max
ing a rapid transit to and from all
points on the line and other lines.
The passenger service will be of the
best and close connections will be
made on all roads"
Without doubt as fine vocal mu-
sic as was ever heard in our city hall,
Notwithstanding the great age of
the building, was rendered by the
Howard Specially Musical Company
during its two nights engagement
here last week The metropolitan
male quartet is pronounced by all
present as the peer of any to which
they ever listened. All other feat
ures of the entertainment were high
class and exceedingly entertaining.
The slim attendance was evidence
that our people are not graded up to
appreciate classic and refined music
as they should be. Those who did
attend got double their moneys
worth.
Rev. A. Lachauce, p. F., writes
from st. Tite des Caps, Montmorency
Co.. p. G., Canada: "Since moving
to this place we have been in search
of DR.. j. H. McLean's Liver and
Kidney Balm. We miss it very
much, as tie druggists are out. 1t
has done great good in our family.
Let me know where | can procure it,"

Miss Emma Wyman, teacher Of
elocation in the Platteyille normal
school has already promised to be
present ard render several selec-
tions at the band concert and enter
tainment tomorrow night. Miss wy
man is an elocutionist of wide repH
tation and the band members are
fortunate in securing her for this
occasion. and our citizens lucky in
having the opportunity to hear her.
The Platteville news says that a
new revenue law will 90 into effect
about January first, which will COM
pei all retailers of cigars to pay
license Of $40 per year. Fhis VIII
more than likely reduce the number
Of retailers to a great extent, as 1t
will not be profitable to pay such
large revenue.
The city pays 90 for the burying
of dog and sometimes 800 though
uneonsciously. This is brought
about by such parties 30 void of
principal and honesty that, after
burying the dog and receiving SOC
therefor. exhume the animal and
hurry it the second time and collect
another 5Oe. Let our city fathers be
on their guard.
There will be an eclipse Of the
