Wisconsin Looming to the Front.

The good old summertime, the
hot season, also known as the silly
season, is prominently the season
for fish stories When the gifted
Mutation was alive the most re-
markable fish stories came from the
Southwest. Extraordinary happen
ings in that vicinity are rarer now,
and those which are reported are
are less piquant than of vore. WIS
consin is looming to the front. Here
is a plain, unvarnlshed narrative
from the Shawano Journal:
A good fish story comes from
Tigerton to the effect that farmer
has discovered that the carp III a
creek passing through the farm
milk the cows dry when they wade
into the stream to get away from
the heat and flies. It is said the
farmer put a net around the udders
Of cow on which he fastened a
number of hooks and now the
animal comes home each night, not
only with full portion Of milk, but
a good mess Of fish.

A SEVERE STORM.
Worst One of the Season Over
spread this Section Sunday.

The most severe electric and rain
storm that has visited Lancaster and
vicinity thus far this season com
menced at about a. m, Sun day
and continued nearly undated
until 8 o'clock.
A large amount of water fell and
several bolts of lightning played
havoc to grain stacks and buildings.
Henry Eek, residing on the Thos.
Bailie farm in Little Grant, is a
heavy loser. Lightning struck his
barn and ignited it and the build
ing with all its contents, including
this seasons crops of hay and grain,
was totally destroyed. The loss is
a severe blow, Mr.. Eek having only
little insurance.
Louis Damm's barn in South Ian
caster was also in the track of
a bolt Of electricity and the cupola
was demolished. Numerous other
losses are reported. The small
streams were made rivers by the
deluge of water that fell.

Wooden Boxes Barred.

The postofice department has
placed ban on wooden boxes as
receptacles for mail delivered by
rural carriers, 1t being believe d
that they are not weather proof
within the meaning or regulations.
Patrons Of rural delivery may con
struct their own boxes, but they
must be in accordance with rules
LAID down by the department.
The department officials are of the
opinion that IN rural free delivery,
which has now spread to every part
OF the country and which is con-
coded to be one of the greatest boons
ever received by the farming COM
munlties at the hands Of the govern
ment, is the solution of the problem
Of better public roads. Much has
already been accomplished along
the line, and it is believed that a
plan of cooperation which has re-
Gently been inaugurated between
the agricultural and the various
state highway officials will render
great additional assistance in the
general movement looking to the
Improvement Of the public high
ways.
A number of states, through their
officials, have expressed a willing
ness to join in the cooperative
movement. The plan includes for
warding TO state road commission
ers reports from rural routes, also
that the postmasters shall ascertain
the condition of roads in the vicini-
ty of their postofices and forward
reports directly to the state officials.
