There have been a number Of small
bridges across Cow Creek within the
city limits which we're built long
time ago and had become rotten and
weak. During the high water year
ago last summer it was fealt almost
certain that much trouble would be
caused by some Of these bridges in the
upper part Of town being taken out by
the flood and drifting down against
the others. They are now all lin gopA
repair, having been either repaired and
strengthened or rebuilt by the city. ~,

There are good many people Of
good sense who express the opinion
freely that this craze for Belgian hares
is very much In the line Of q pressing
fad IL not real fake. Ed, Howe, the
Atchjnson editor who ate the Duke
of Burgundy says: Belgian hare meat
is very much like plain rabbit, and no
one eats rar,.it except the boys who
kill them, The Duke Of Burgundy
was young and fat, but not very much
superior to ordinary cotton tail, except
that he was not shot up.
