WORK IS SLOW.
Little Hope of Completing the
Paving Contracts.
Provisions Have Been Made For
AS Blocks.
LESS THAN HALF DONE.
Only 81 Blocks Have Been En-
tirely Completed.
There Has Been an Unprece-
denied Delay This Year.

Mayor Hughes has notified the pave
ment contractors that he Will not per
init any pavement to be laid or exca-
waiting to be done after the ground is
frozen. He has the idea that pavement
laid under such conditions is not dur
able. OF course paTing contractors
never try r. Az pavement in the winter
y ut Mr.. HugAes did not know that.
n The chances are that some OF the
2 1avement ordered for this year will
have to so over till next spring. By
figuring on future progress at the same
rate that the work has progressed so
far. there are likely to be about four
blocks left over to be completed next
year.
The following table shows the status
of the paving which is ordered to be
laid in Topeka this year:
Number blocks completed ---........-z q
Number Of blocks upon which work
has been commenced. ....---..-.--.-.1 II
Number of blocks yet to be star ted 10
Total number Of blocks. .............4S
From this il is evident that Topeka
will have to hurry If it finishes up
this years contracts before cold weather
sets In
It would be a conservative estimate
to say that the equivalent Of % blocks
have already been paved, leaving 10
blocks still untouched
The contractors have been at work
for about four months Allowing for
the continuance OF good weather 10 the
usual time the contractors can safely
count on only about two months more
for work BY simple process of
arithmetic 1T is demonstrated that If
the contractors continue at their pres
ent rate. less than Is blocks Of the -
can be completed before freezing
weather sets in This viii leave four
blocks to be finished next spring.
The following is a complete list Of the
various blocks of pavement ordered for
this year. Pavement now completed:

GAINESVILLE.

Onsgard & Petersons building at Or

was frame, two stories high and one of
the oldest and largest in the village. The
building was occupied by the Farmers
and Merchants bank, fully insured F.

will be erected at once.
During Wednesday night a tree fell
across the streetcar track on Main street
in front of car. The passengers alight-
ed from the car and took refuge in
brewery. They had no sooner entered
than the building was struck by light
ming. Several ladies tainted. The light
ming struck large stack of hay on the
farm of T. Ell. Edden. The residence of
John Gas was struck by lightning, but
no one was injured.
GAINESVILLE attorneys for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway company
will apply to Judge Siebeker to have the
injunction granted by County Judge
John W. Sale, restricting the railroad
company from building five tracks across
Prospect avenue to their new freight de
pot, dissolved. If it is not dissolved it
will put the company to great expense,
as it has purchased large tracts of land
and got it's depot partially built. The
council is not attempting to prevent the
railroad company from making improve
ments, but holds that it has rights that
must be respected before streets and av-
enues can be utilized for switch yards
and filed with tracks

On Wednesday evening another good
downpour of rain visited US which gave
this drouth stricken county little hope.
Although the crops are damaged by the
dry and exceedingly hot weather, there
is now some hope that these rains will
put new life into them and the farmers
may yet harvest a fair crop.

THE Milwaukee Free Press has very
nearly told what it was started for, and
in a recent issue it comes to the defense
of Mr.. Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette
in an editorial in which it justifes "Your
Uncle" in all his doings The paper has
been whacking away at Pfster, ct al,
ever since it's first issue, for the free and
liberal use of money for political pur-
poses, and now it let's the world know
that what is to be condemned in the
stalwart ranks is all right when it comes
to Mr.. Stephenson, the old man from
Marinette who wishes to succeed John
@. Spooner IN the senate. The idea of
the one candidate before the legislature
who violated the provisions of the cor
rupt practice act, when he was up for
United States Senator, being reformer,
is rather Iudicrous Mr.. Stephenson is
very worthy old gentleman with bag
full of money that he is willing to use
for the purpose of furthering a great po-
litical ambition, but the venerable citi-
zen of Marinette will sooner or later be
brought very forcibly to know that he is
living in Wisconsin and not in Montana.
To those who have watched the course
of events during the last few menths it
is very apparent that the light is to be
made upon the return of Senator Spoon
or. There is no phaze of the politics of
the state that could so appeal to the
people as a defense of the gallant sena-
tor who has so ably represented Wiscon-
sin during the past four years, and from
one end of the state to the other there is
an army that will fight to retain him in
his seat against any power that would
seek to encompass his defeat. Wash

THE farmer doesn't have to solicit pat
ronage from anyone. He doesn't have
to enter into competition and strife with
any of his neighbors like merchant; he
he doesn't have to wrangle for living
like lawyer; he doesn't have to depend
on collections reluctantly doled out as
editors do; in fact he can be the most
independent man on Gods green earth
if he manages his affairs in a business
like manner. He has more time and
equal opportunities for improving his
mind, he has fewer allurements for cor
rupting his morals, and his occupation is
more conducive ITO the highest develop
ment of his physical power than any
other.
