During the past year while the
people have scanned the newspapers
for news Of war and its destructive re-
suits industrial and economic enter
prises have been pursued with remark
able success. Some of these enter
prises are magnificent in proportions
and beneficent in widespread appli-
cation. Not the least of wonderful
achievements is the great water tun-
mel under the city of Chicago TO give
portions of the municipality better
water service. This tunnel COM
mences u miles out in lake Michigan
and extends for u miles into the heart
of the city 100 feet below the streets,
with a diameter of 10 feet. A branch
tunnel also extends for q miles from
the main tunnel. The pumping sta
ton is located at one termini OF
these tunnels with mighty engines
capable Of raising so,000,Ooo gallons OF

The River Falls City Band have ar
ranged for a concert 10 be given at
Opera Hall a week from tonight
April 20. The boys have some fine
new pieces aud they are diligently
practicing to perfect themselves in
their rendering. Other features Of
interest will add to the merit Of the
entertainment, and the public are as
sured of an EXCELLENT concert. The
fact that tue players are all residents
of the ci6y should be an especial in
ducement for the people to give them
support. To some people the novelty
of strangers presenting a concert or a
show is drawing force but TO most
considerate people a presentation by
bone talent equally asg good commands
more approval. The boys anticipate
the public appreciation and the pat
ronage of good house. The follow

FhOhhhVht0s
It'll great temptation to be out
doors these sunny days after the long
dreary winter with its enforced con-
finement. The winter has been an
especially severe one, trying to the
endurance of all from the long contin-
uance of the extreme cold. The prev
alence Of the grip which was so gen.
eral as to constitute an epidemic add
ed the suffering of sickness Ia varying
intensity to the discomforts of the
weather and fastened the demise Of
many persons of enfeebled constitu-
tion. Pneumonia, the scourge of
northern climates, has had an especi-
ally large number OF victims during
the past winter in consequence OF the
severe cold and the enervating effects
of the grip, which places the system
in susceptible condition for its In
ception and so weakened as to be in
capable of resisting its insidious and
fatal effects. OF all diseases incident
to this climate pneumonia is most to
be dreaded and should be carefully
guarded against Its attack is sud-
den, its depressing effects immediate,
it's course swift and often fatal. 1t is
least amenable to medical treatment.
1t is practically unaffected by any re-
medal agency. If it effects the. inva-
sion Of the lungs it must Inevitably
run its course. The recovery Of the
patient depends almost entirely upon
his reserve energy-the strength of
his constitution-and the force of his
will. The only aid that medicine Of
fers is to slim ulate the heart a little
and fight tue fever. A writer in the
Medical News tersely expresses the
situation 10 paragraphs:
Had we an antitoyin for pneu-
monia as we have for diphtheria then |
we would be able TO attack the disease
directly, for If we could prevent the |
weakening of the system by neutral. |
tzing the toxins nature would very
soon dispose OF the pneumonia process
in the lung as she does of diphtheria |
under similar circumstances; we could |
anticipate the crisis before any seri- |
GUS organic exhaustion had taken |
place. We can not, however, and so |
our treatment for the present at least |
is only supporting"
We write this article as a caution |
to people to take especial precautions
against exposing them selves at this
time of year when the weather is
Under these very condi-
lions we are most likely to be careless
and TO take cold which may throw |
Us into the throes Of pneumonia.
Dampness, occasioned by the release
Of moisture from thawIng ice and |
snow, gives most favorable conditions
for contracting cold which may re-
suit in pneumonia. A good piece Of |
advice would be: Keep well clothed;
keep your feet dry don't stand still /
but keep moving when out OF doors,
To those who may go fishing Satur-
day or later until warm weather we
would sound this note Of caution,
The water is yet ice cold;
the ground is damp, the air cold.

Riparian Rlohts.

In view of the near opening OF the
fishing season the question Of the
right of the public to fish In the
waters of the Kinn.ckinnic and South
Fork has been raised and discussed.
A case of considerable notoriety, I'M
der the title "Willow River Club VS..
Frank Waden was tried last year be-
fore the supreme court and while that
stream In its lower course was de-
termined to be, in limited sense, q
nayigable stream, the decision OF the
case applies indirectly to the Kinnic-
kinnic and South Fork. There are
In that case some general principles
laid down which incidentally confirm
the coz tention of the riparian right
of exclusive ownership 60 the streams
in this vicinity. The common law ap-
plicable to streams not recognized as
public highways according to writer's
upon Jurisprudence affirms:
Fresh rivers, of what kind soever,
do, of common right, belong to the
owners OF the soil adjacent, SO that
the owners OK one side, nave, of COM
mon right, the propriety of the soil,
and consequently, the right OF fishing
unto the middle of the water, and the
owners Of the other side, the right of
soil and ownership, and fishing unto
the middle OF the stream on their
side; and il man be owner OF the
land on both sides, in common pre-
sumption, he is the owner of the
whole river, and hath the right Of
fishing according to the extent OF his
land in lengtt.
Wherever there is not a public
right of passage, the sailing along a
stream, without license from the
owner, is trespass, the same as IL one
should fish, without such license.
"In rivers and streams, not naviga-
BILE as tide waters, the owners of the
soil, over which they flow, have, at
common law, land which common
law has been generally recognized In
the United States, the exclusive light
OF fishing, each on his own side.
"Concomitant with this interest in
the soil of the beds of watercourSes is
an exclusive right OF fishery; so that the
riparian proprietor, and he alone, Is
authorized to take fish from any part
of the stream included within his
territorial limits
Private ownership !, fish is subject
to reasonable legislative regulation,
such as fixing close season, TO pre-
vent exte mination or fish and TO for
bid distractions to preven1 the free
passage of fsh, &C. Even 10 naviga-
BILE rivers above tue tide water the
public right is restricted to the use OF
the river simply as highway and the
owners of the land adjoining possess
the exclusive right to fishing, as they
do to the ice formiog on such streams.
