WORK STARTED On
NEW FIRE C|STERN
Will Afford Protection for Res
identS in the MeCkelhurg-
er Settlement.

The work of constructing the long
talked of fire cistern in the Nickel
burger settlement as started yester-
day by the contractors. The con-
struction of this means of fire protec-
tion was in compliance with the
urgent demands of the residents in
that section Of the city for a better
protection. 1t is step in the right
direction and is prompted by the fact
that the city is spread over nine
square miles, leaving some of the
residents and tax payers in the out
lying district without ample protec-
ion. The work which was started
yesterday is the first step toward CIV
ing effective protection in the dis
tricts that are not protected by water
mains. The city will endeavor to
furnish protection to other districts
similarly situated from time to time
and as fast as the finances of the city
will permit. The new cistern is to
be 35 feet long and about II feet
high. 1t IS a recognition that is due
the citizens in that section of the city
and the mayor and city councilmen
are to be commended in the action
taken.

LITTLE zAYDA WEBER
GAINS REPUTATION
RECOGNIZED AS AN ARTIST AS
SINGER AND DANCER.
Taking Weekly Lessons in Buck
and Wing DdnCes-HdS Appeared
in Public at Fond du Lac and
OShkosh-Fldttering Offers are
Held Out-A Bright Future.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Little Zayda Weber, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Weber, is gain
ing an enviable reputation as vocal
list and buck and wing dancer, despite
her tender age. She has already been
offered fiattering inducements to go
on the stage. In fact, a compensation
that could do honor to many adults.
Little Zayda has appeared in several
amateur performances in this city and
has been marvel to all who have
heard and witnessed her performances.
Her fame is extending rapidly and
today she is recognized as an artist
by some of the best critics in the
country. Since the little girl has
appeared in Watertown, she has
shown a wonderful improvement under
the tutorship Of Prof. Zayno Milwau-
kee, who is instructing the little
scholar in buck and wing dancing.
Once week, Zayda visits Fond du
Lac to receive her Instructions and
here the professor has large class.
His young Watertown student, how
ever is general favorite and on
several occasions she has been called
upon to appear in amateur performan-
ces at Fond du &C and Oshkosh, where
she has won her way to the hearts of
those who have witnessed her wonder
full exhibitions Of skill. So pror ounc-
ed is the tavortism shown the little
Warertown Miss that Prof. Zayno is
arranging to take her out on his cir
cult in the state, visiting the princi-
pie cities. The instructor is arranging
an entertainment in Milwaukee in
which his little scholar will also take
part. 1t is probably that she will
favor her home people during the
winter by taking part in an amateur
performance in which she will be the
star. A great future is IN store for
little Zayda Weber and the Leader
will watch her career with interest.
AS an illustration to show her adapt
ability, it is worthy of citing little
incident that occurred at Fond du Lac.
LAY da was invited by the manager of
the opera house to witness an oper:.
The leading lady was gowned in an
oriental costume and danced cleverly.
1t made an impression upon Zavda,
who persuaded her mother to have
made similar gown for the juvenile
actress. She carried out the part of
the leading lady he had seen so we'll
that Prof. Zayno was captivated and
upon his recommendation she portray
ed it in an amateur performance and
did it so cleverly that she scored a
decided hit.

Hicks Weather Forecast.

The disturbances coming over from
October will bring threatening weather
the opening days of November culmi-
mating about 3rd or 4lh with cold
winds and frosty nights, to be follow
ed by rising barometer. A regular
storm period extending from 7th to 9th
will be IN progress several days, rain
turning to sleet and snow on the
western flank of the storm areas will
progress from the east across the
country, promising long spell of
unsettled weather.
One of the most severe disturbances
of the month will eliminate within
48 hours of noon on the 10th. The
barometer will drop to one of its
lowest readings for the month, thick
cloudiness and great humidity will
prevail and general storms OF autumn
nal rain. turning to destructive
sleet, and later into blizzardous snow
and northwest gales may be expected
covering the northern and extending
far into central sections.
A regular storm period extending
from the 10th to the 23rd. Falling
barometer, higher temperature and
greatly increased intensity in storm
mess will develop and pass rapidly
to the eastward about Tuesday the
Goth to Friday 23rd. Cold, high
winds out of the northwest will rush
in behind these storms as the high
barometer moves eastward displacing
the storm areas. Sharp cold with
frost freezing toward the north will
visit most sections from about the 22nd
to the 25th.
A reactionary storm period is GEN.
trail on the 25th, 26th and 9th, with
decided fall of the barometer, cloud
mess and return of rain and snow
The disturbances of this period will
eliminate on the 18th and the 9th
by which dates storms will have passed
we'll to the east, with high barometer
and colder, clearing weather follow
ing in the in mediate rear of storm
areas. If you are planning to e.cape
billiards on the land or storms on
the lakes, don't start on your journ ey
or voyage.
A regular storm begins on the 10Th
and runs at least four days into Deem
being central December End. The
full moon falls OIL the Both which
fact Will greatly tend to bring on the
disturbances of this period and touch
ing that date.
He says, we believe that pheuome-
nal perturbations of the barometer,
excessive magnetic and electrical dis
turbances, with heavy seismic shocks
in many sections of the globe, will
occur on and close to 10Th and 3Otn.
Naturally, storms and atmospheric
trouble are OF kind with all these
things and need not surprise any one
on land or sea as November goes out.

Amusing Incident.

An amusing incident occurred in the
city yesterday A business man re-
ceived a bill for the sum of five cents
and IN his wrath, instead of going
to the Office and paying the account, he
went to the post Office and bought a
money order for the amount of lis
Indebtedness, for which he paid three
cents and putting the same into an
envelope which he mailed to his credi-
tor, which required two cent stamp.
Having paid his indebtness, the debtor
went back to his place of business
well satisfied with his business acu-
men-laugbing to himself when he
thought of the surprise of his creditor
on receiving postal order for five
cents, which would necessitate his
walking down TO the post Office to have
it cashed.
