New Uln, Mimi, May 14.-Contractors are at

1t was built by Fred Behnke for store pur-

Ditch Threatens Lake.
The citizens of Sleepy Eye have awakened to
the fact that the lake at that place is likely to
be interfered with perhaps destroyed by rea-
son of extensive ditching of farm lands nearby.
The ditch taps the outlet of the lake and will
deepen 1T, thus letting out larger volume of
water.
For many years the lake which comes up into
the city was very low and at times was so foul
that it was disa greeable for the people living
on Its banks, but in the past five years the
level has been gradually rising until it is posi-
bic to run launches on the lake with ease. 1t Is
the ambition of the business men to keep 1t III

against the proposed ditch. ..-

The Christmas DeHneafOr.

The December Delinerator is a typi-
cal Christmas number 1t is sufficiently
premature to assist Christmas-makers
with its hints for Christmas gifts and
holiday entertainments, besides con-
tanning an abundance of seasonable lit
erature calculated to fit in from now
until New Years Day. Maud Balling-
ton Booth contributes a most touching
description # the work of the Volun-
teers, Christmas Sunshine in the
Shadows. The seasonable stories for
adults are very entertaining, and those
for children seem especially suitable.
But the crown of the Christmas htera-
ture is Edwin Markham's splendid poem
entitled 'The Great GuesS Comes" 1t
is illustrated in colDrs.
The usual amount of space is devoted
to up-to-date fashions in garments anC
millinery. and practical papers and de
partments for house-keepers.

A Railroad and Milwaukee.

Milwaukee journal.
A through coach to Chicago, and
buffet parlor car and a speedy train
from GAINESVILLE to Chicago
No through coach to Milwaukee, nc
parlor car, but change of cars at
GAINESVILLE and again at Milton junction,
and slow train all the way to Milwau-
kee
These are the conditions that mark
the first passenger service OF the day
to Chicago and Milwaukee from Miner
al Point, Monroe, Darlington and all
other points on the Mineral Point divi-
sion of the Milwaukee railroad.
These are the conditions that exist in
spite of the fact that all those points
are twenty-eight miles nearer to Mil
waukee than they are to Chicago and
in spite of the fact that those cities
and Milwaukee are in the same state
and are connected by social and politi-
cal ties as well as by commercial assoc
Citations.
The fact that Milwaukee gives the
Milwaukee road more business than any
other point on the whole system is per-
tinent in this connection.
The necessity of taking three differ
ent trains in order to reach Milwaukee
discourages travel to this city from the
southwestern section Of the state.
Passengers bound for Milwaukee must
wait ten minutes at GAINESVILLE and then
take the Chicago Madison train to Mil
ton junction. If this train be late in
reaching GAINESVILLE, there is more de-
lay. There is still more delay at Milton
Junction if the train from Prairie du
Chen be late. And even if each of the
three trains that patrons from the Min
eral Point division have to take in or
der to reach Milwaukee be on time, it
is one O'Clock in the afternoon before
anybody on that division west of James
Vile can reach Milwaukee.
The train for Mineral Point division
towns that leaves Milwaukee at eight
O'Clock in the morning is held at James
vile twenty-eight minutes in order to
connect with the train from Chicago,
On the evening train to Mineral Point
there is through coach from Chicago
and parlor car as far as GAINESVILLE.
From Milwaukee there is neither.
