REDUCES Railway Curves.

The engineers OF the last few years,
IN relaying tracks, instead OF starting
a true circle curve with the sudden
lift OF the outer rail that causes the
Jolt and lurch that travellers know.
have laid a slight parabollc curve
from q point hundred yards back on
the straight track, and have elevated
the outer rail imperceptibly along that
curve to the maximum. The result
OF the device-in practice quite new,
has been the humiliation of curves az

TO PLEAD GUILTY.
Albert Miller Confesses to Crime of
Burglary and Will Get One Year.

Albert Miller, the Livingston
young man who burglarized Bid
dick & Biddicks hardware store at
Montfort on Christmas night, has
declared his intention of entering a
plea of guilty, and he will probably
receive his sentence from Judge
Clementson at the adjourned session
of the October term of circuit court
next week. Attorneys believe he
will receive a sentence of about a
year in the Green Bay reformatory.
His father, Leonard Miller, a
prominent and highly respected
citizen of Livingston, met Edwin
B1ddick, one Of the proprietors of
the burglarized store, in this city
Monday evening and paid him a
sum, sufficiently large to REIN burse
him for the loss sustained by the
burglary.

tally as they have been denied by a

That the present leap year will be
memorable in the annals of matri-

his uttermost and Hymen hustled to
the limit of his capacity, that the
orange blossom crop will be ex-
hausted and excursions to the bridal
altar will be more numerous this
year than ever before in the history
of connubiality, can be expected
with confidence that will not be

Interviews with many of our
merchants bring out the fact that
Notwithstanding unfavorable wealth
er and crop conditions last sum-
mer, the year of 1903 averaged
better than 1902. There were a
few who found business about the
same both years, but the vast
majority said that on the whole
business was better and more salts

and there will be wild panic and a
painful palpitation among those
who have SO far failed to attract the
much coveted dart of Cupid.
Young men who have been hating
and hesitating, having the desire
but lacking the nerve, will be en-
compassed in the panic, and the
stampede that will follow will be
halted only at the chancel rail.
To unmarried humankind the
lapse Of eight years since the last
leap year makes the coming year
most welcome, bringing back as it
does the sacred privilege that most
concerns woman's heart.
To the thousands Of fair creatures
on the uncertain line between
maidenhood and spinisterhood the
year which we are now about to
enter viii be a Hateful one. The
maidenly modesty and the feminine
delicacy which hedges about the
girl and woman whose hottest and
happiest aspiration is in the sacred
marital relation is now about to be
removed after eight years, the re-
strictions upon her sex are relaxed,
and she can without offense TO pro-
priety, according to leap year tradi-
ton, advance her own cause, coach
and conjure, prompt and promote
tagging courtship until the nuptial
event is consummated.
Eight weary years with it's multi
tude of misadventures, it's disap-
pointments and uncertainties, have
rolled around and now the candi-
date for natrimony can hope to
again have the advantage on her
side, and then if she misses added
years, fading charms and conscious
loss. of prestige will place her in the
second or even third class of eligi
bles.

Electric Light Flashes.

The electric light wire to the
asylum is completed at a total cost
of 5000, the wire costing $500. Last
Saturday four men working seven
hours strung $4,000 feet of wire.
The big transformer on pole near
the asylum weighs 1850 pounds and
can be used for reducing the cur
rent from 1900 to 200 volts. The
men are now ready to begin wiring
the asylum.
While attending to the brush on
the dynamo at the plant the other
day Geo. Angus received a charge
of 1900 volts in his thumb. Luckily
his other hand was not in contact
with anything which could form
circuit, or we should be writing
an obituary instead of an account
of a light accident. The thumb
was badly burned and he may lose
the nail. It should be remembered
that where electricity is used to
execute criminals only 1900 to 1900
volts are used.
