WISCONSIN'S RECORD.

Itreet Work in Milwaukee Stopped
By Swarms of Mosquitoes Barren
Region to Be Made Arab1e-Mad Dogs
Run Amuck at Markesan.

Mosquitoes are so numerous IN Mil
Waukee that life is almost a burden to
mad and beast, and parts of the city that
have never been invaded by the pest
swarm with them day and night. Smudge
fires on fashionable lawns on the East
Side are a common sight every evening,
and no one pretends to sit out of doors
after dark without protection of some
sort The other day Beck & Often, grad
ing contractors in the vicinity Of st.
Francis, were obliged to discharge their
men and put their horses in the stables
until the mosquitoes should disappear, the
horses baking or running away, and the
men being almost blinded by the pest.
The foreman Of a large gang of men at
work on one of the South Side contracts
for land company says he is unable to
hire men to work at grading for the same
reason, and there is no prospect of finish
ing a great amount of work that is nee
essary at this season. The weeds are
alive with mosquitoes. The workmen
have been literally driven off the streets,
and some of them have faces that are
covered with blotches and sores that are
very painful.

Bradley, a wealthy lumberman. Twen-
ty-fve men are now pulling out the
stumps and clearing off the half-burned

Human nature, uncertain and tickle

which he spoke of mans innate rev.

this sentiment upon human thought
and human action. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the rain throughout the
greater part of the day, aud theuncer-
tainty of the weather in the evening,
made the audience smaller than it
would otherwise have been. The mu-
sic for the evening was furnished by
the Orchestra and Mandolin Club.

TWO CENTS
B. & 0. NOW OWNS IT.
The Fayette County Railroad
Sold AT Last.

The Amount Paid Was $376,575-Set-
Element of a Long Standing Difficult
ty-Handsome Dividend Realized ny
Stockholders.
The history OF the Fayette county
railroad which is the B. & q. line be-
tween Uniontown and ConnellsvIlle Is
familiar to many of our readers. 1t
was built by local capital many years
ago but was subsequently leased by
b. & o. and has always been part
of that line between this place and
Pittsburg. Negotiations for its pur-
chase have been pending for long
time but the matter was not settled
until Saturday when the deal was
closed and 1916, 575 paid to the stock
holders.
The number of shares OF stock was
2148, which at the par value OF 500
made capital stock OF $l07, 400. At
the sale price OF $3.50 share this
made 1922, 200 The back rental for
six years amounted to $54, $50 max
ing the total purchase consideration
S3T6,576 After deducting costs, at
torneys' fees, taxation, etc, the stock
holders were able to declare a divi-
dend of $21 per share, which made
the stock net them at the time OF It's
transfer, $17l per share.
There were 80 share holders, the
largest number of shares, $50, being
held by Mrs. Mary G. Stevenson, wife
of Prof. John j. Stevenson Of N. Y,
embracing the entire stock OF her
father, the late Hon. Nathaniel Ew
ing, together with some subsequent
purchasers. The next largest stock
holder was Mrs. L. Louisa Hamilton,
widow of the late Rev. w. E. Hamil-
ton of Washington, Pa, who Is now
travelling in Europe, and the third
largest was Mr.. j. V. Thompson. The
first dividend after the reorganization
consequent upon the sheriff's sale OF
the road was made in 1868, and of the
stockholders appearing at that divi-
dend period, Hon. j. x. Ewing is the
only one who appeared at this fnal
dividend, nearly 40 years afterwards,
with the same number Of shares as
then. Two other parties owning stock
at that time still survive but are not
now stockholders, William II. Baily
of Minneapolis, Mimi, and Hugh L.
Rankin of Uniontown.
One of the pleasant features of the
sale is that which affects the Cum
berland Presbyterian church of town,
in the handsome return that comes to
them from the 80 shares Of stock be-
queathed TO the church by the late
Mrs. Anna NJ Huston, widow of Hon.
John Huston, deceased, amounting
to over $500.

M'Cuteheon's Famous Cartoons.

The art of newspaper illustration in
its present form is development OF
recent years. Newspaper cartoons
have become most popular feature Of
up-todate metropolitan newspapers.
The unique and catchy drawings by
John t. MeGuteheon now appearing
daily on the front page Of The Chica-
GO Record Herald is one Of the many
special features of that great paper.
McCutcheon's prominence in the news,
paper world makes newspaper readers
generally familiar with his history.
He came TO Chicago in 1885, when he
Immediately became identified with
the Chicago Record. His work in
connection with that paper soon at
tracted public notice. His illustra-
ton of the Worlds Fair scenes were
of a particularly high class. 1t was
later, however, associated with George
AIDE, illustrating AIDES well known
sketches "Stories of the Streets and
Of the Town, =" Artie, etc. and dur
ing the presidential campaign of 1896
when his political cartoons attracted
such widespread attention, that Nc
Cutcheon was generally acknowledged
a leader in his profession. During
the Spanish-American war he was
with Admiral Dewey at the time of
the destruction Of the Spanish fleet 10
Manila Bay, and was the first one to
give the world complete account Of
that great fight During his subse
quent stay in the Philippines he bios
somed out as correspondent Of no
mean ability, and he came into view
as writer of merit, with the faculty
of keen observation and faithful de
scription that have made the work Of
his pen OF double value His two
years stay in tropical climate shat.
tered his health, and after his return
to the United States he was forced to
take long rest. However, he has
fully recovered, and readers OF The
Record Herald will be glad to learn
that he has resumed work and that
his cartoons now appear in both its
daily and sunday editions.

RIVERS JARED WELL.
Remodeling of the old Locks
System on the Monongahcla is to be
M0dernized and work Resumed on
the Allegheny's Improyements-New
Locks to be Finished Next Fall.

The approval by President Roose-
velt Of the rivers and harbor bill
means much to the commercial and
shipping interests of Western Penn
sylyania. Many of the Improvements
which have been recommended from
time to time and absolutely necessary
to the proper and continuous nayiga-
tion of the rivers will now be pushed
with the greatest practicable dis
patch. Capt. w. L. Sibert local Uni
ted States engineer is highly pleased
with the consideration shown his dis
trict, and is happy that he can now
begin many of the improvements that
have been hanging fire for SO long
time. Speaking of the provisions of
the bill effecting this territory Cap
tain Sibert said:
1.-The bill treats Pittsburg and the
rivers in a thoroughly business like
manner. In the first place it pro-
vides an appropriation directly for
Lock No. on the Monongahela river
and orders an examination of locks l,
3, 4 and on the same. This means
the entire remodeling Of the locks
FROM / to inclusive on the Monon-
gahela, so as to meet the present de-
mands of commerce. The old locks
have been faithful servants, but faith
fitness without modern appliances
cannot meet the present demands of
Pittsburg.
1.-The bill also authorizes an exami-
nation and report on the question of
additional harbor facilities for Pitts
burg. AS it is now Pittsburg has
reliable harbor only about six months
in the year, and the methods OF giving
it sufficient harbor for the entire year
and developing all needed facilities
require great deal of study and CO.
operation on the part of the engineers
office, river interests and citizens gen.
orally.
t'There is very little in the bill con-
corning the Allegheny river except the
provision authorizing the work to
proceed at Lock No. near Six mile
island which has been postponed for
more than four years on account of
the inability Of the Government TO
procure the necessary land from the
city of Pittsburg The city has, how
ever, now given title and the work Of
construction will proceed at once.
Hers Island dam should be compile
ted in September and the dam at
Springdale possibly this season. These
two dams in connection with No. 2,
should add about 20 miles of uaviga-
Die water front for manufacturing
purposes.
'4By the fall of 1903 six locks pro-
jected by the Government on the
upper Monongahela should be COM
pleted and navigation open to FAIR
mont 1913 miles above Pittsburg,"
said Captain w. L. Sibert.
With the slaekwater work complete
to Fairmont, there will be nothing to
hinder West Virginia coal from
breaking into the Pittsburg market.
At present. the railroad differental
prevents the West Virginia operators
from getting into the local market,
but with river facilities the Pittsburg
operators are anticipating some lively
competition. The quality of the coal
from that section is, as rule, excel
| lent.

OBJECT TO THE POLES.
Residents of Pretty Thoroughfare
Prevents Setting of Telephone COM
pany's Equiment.

FAIRMoNT, June 23.-There is
much bitter feeling existing between
the residents of Maple avenue and
the employs OF the c. d. and p. Com
pany oil this place over the fact that
it is the intention of the company to
put in poles on that thoroughfare
and on the sidewalks ofthe said res
idents.
The beginning OF the strife was
several weeks ago, when the COM
pany announced it's intention to ex.
tend the line out that way Upon
hearing of it the residents held a
meeting and claimed that the poles
would be detriment to their homes
and the next day an injunction pro
hibiting the erection CT the poles
was asked for and granted. 1t was
temporary IN nature and when the
time expired the work was started
again.
A big hole was dug in front of the
beautiful homes of Drs Howard and
Hamilton. At the quitting time ar
rived when the hole was completed
the pole was not placed.
This morning when the men went
to work they found the hole filled
up and the bricks of the sidewalks
neatly placed in their old positions.
The men were warned not to dig the
hole again and they did not today.
The residents are determined that
the poles shall not be placed and the
company is just as determined to
build the line as originally.

jesty and other fictions, all of which
have been promptly denied by the
officials most intimately connected
with the king.
King Edwards health was author
itatively declared to be good at
Windsor castle Sunday and Sunday
morning his majesty attended divine
services, accompanied by other mem
bers of the royal family. Last even
ing he enjoyed a drive through the
royal gardens of Windsor castle in
closed carriage.
King Rad Them Admitted.
At the command of the king many
thousand persons were admitted to
the east terrace of Windsor castle
yesterday afternoon for the Sunday
band perfor lances. The terrace was
crowded The king and queen lis
tened to the music from the windows
VI their private apartments. King
Edwards appearance did not justify
the sensational rumors of his illness.
The congested condition of the
streets Of London furnished an omen
of the travel through these streets
the latter days of this week. The
barriers across the streets which in
tcrsect those through which the cor
cnation professions will pass and
which have now been completed are
proving an impeachment to ordinary
traffic. Sunday it was impossible to
proceed faster than at a snail's pace
through the thoroughfares between
Hyde Park and the Mansion house.
The omnibus companies have in
creased previous fares two and three
times, and further increases in these
rates are probable. The obtaining of
q seat on an omnibus, however was
yesterday more a question of physi-
cal than financial ability.
Where Colonial Troops Are camped.
Kensington gardens and the beau
tiful groves about the Crystal and
Alexandra palaces are filed with
colonial and native troops, clad in
scarlet, white. khaki and blue uni,
forms.
The throngs in the streets at night
find much to engage the eye. The
fronts of innumerable buildings are
hung with lighted decorations and
the venetian masts are covered with
garlands and connected with strands
@; roses. The streets are filled with
mile after mile of many-colored lights
aud the various stations of the royal
coronation procession are marked
with arches representing Great Brit
aims colonies. American flags were

American visitors domiciled within.
