The Spiders Web.

If we compare the dimensions Of the
spider with those of it's web we are
forced to admit that the little creature
is true engineer, able to construct a
cable network of relatively enormous
size. Thread after thread is put in po-
sition in the desired and necessary or
der, and sometimes prolonged observa-
ton on the part of the investigator is
required in order to understand the
reasons which direct the spider in it's
complicated operations and which
make it always follow the same order
and the same laws. Some of these rea-
sons are explained by geometry, others
by the strength of materials, and he
who succeeds in discovering the "why''
of all the interesting details of the
method employed is compelled to admit
to himself that he could not have
achieved SO good a result with the
same materials

why Bands Help Marching.

All men who have any appreciation
of music feel prompted to step in time
to a march tune, and music on the
march therefore substitutes new and
pleasanter stimulus to exertion for the
monotonous and somewhat dreary one
of keeping place in the ranks. 1t is
we'll known that WEAKNESS is, as rule,
more q matter of mind than Of body
and that the muscles of the body do
not tire half so soon as the nerve cen
tiers which move them. Music, by
bringing a fresh nerve center into play,
will often Danish all sense Of WEAKNESS
and will even sometimes afford rest to
the usual nerve center, so that when
the music ceases the soldier feels fresh
er than before 1t began.

Bank, of GAINESVILLE, will pay to the
Treasurer of Rock county three and one
fourth 80 per cent. per annum interest
on all moneys deposited by said treasur-

Inasmuch as the Merchants & Me

PAYING COMMITTEE
DECIDES ON ASPHALT

It was decided yesterday by the paw
ing committee that the city should adj
vertise for bids for resurfacing the
asphalt streets in the downtown dis
trict. This plan, first proposed by City
Engineer Andrew Rinker, has finally
been approved by the paving committee
of the Retail Dealers association, con-
sisting of Anton Knoblauch, W. i. Har-
ris and George d. Dayton. In a con-
ference with the council committee yes
terday, Mr.. Knoblauch said that the re-
tail dealers seemed to prefer creosoted
wooden block, but the engineering diff
culties pointed out by the city engineer
appeared to make this impractical. In
asmuch as no provision had been made
for repairing the asphalt streets at this
time and the paving was in a disgrace
full condition, the only solution Of the
problem appeared to- be the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Rinker, to resurface the
entire asphalt pavement with asphalt. ,
1t is hoped that bid as low as 81 a
yard can be secured, but this is not be-
heved likely, particularly if the con-
tractor must bear all the expense of the
work and wait for the pay until the
money has been collected by special as
sessments--in other words wait six
years. There is an unexpected item of
100000 IN the revolving fund and it
is understood that another attempt
will be made atsthe council meeting TO-
morrow evening to have the amount set
aside for resurfacing the asphalt streets

Platt and the President.

President Roosevelt is young and
buoyant politician. He is Of such an
optimistic disposition that he is apt to
underestimate the difficulties in his
way; but we believe, when he sits down
and soberly reflects upon the recent
announcement Of Senator Platt, he will
have less bounce in his makeup for "a
couple Of minutes at least.
Senator Platt, T. G. Platt, Platt-
sey,'' in fact, has declared he. will not
visit the White House any more until
he is invited. He has noted that the
president has been sending for a lot
of kid politicians from the empire state
and comforting with them, and no in
vitation has been received by the (dead).
easy boss of New York. ~ M
Whether this is bid for an invita-
ton or a notice to the president that
Platt would ,scorn to come anyway, it
must be something for the president
to think about. If the president sends
for Platt, it must be because he wants
to talk with him about something. Now,
whatacould the president or Mr.. Roose-
welt have to say to T. G. Platte Would
he ask him about the insurance rogue,
ry, in, which Platt was stepped up to
the eyes, and suggest that Platt intro
duce a bill in the senate to reform life
insurance? Would he discuss campaign
contributions and ask Platt to propose
I a law. providing for publieity of these
matte t,tlla he talk about

owner Of an SIS company should
draw a bill making the post offee a COM
