plea for skilful corseting Of the girlish figure.
The very mention of the thing will call
forth a protest from some sensible n
radical folk, and we have no intention of
combating the theory that 1t is far bette
for a girl to wear no corset at all; but II is
difficult to find the girl Of more than IA
who does not to-day wear a corset OF some
kind, and II she does not compromise Upon
a corset waist, by all means let her have n
CORSET that fits her.
Such a corset will do her less harm than
a cheap corset not at all adapted to her
figure, and without necessarily cramping
her in any a will coLceal the faults
of her lines and give her a more graceful
figure. Let the corset be loose, but let it
fit and be made by a maker who understands
that a correct silhouette for a young girl
is not the same thing as tho correct sill
houette for an older woman.
The matter OF petticoats also is more
important in connection with the young
girl than is generally recognized; for, just
as a short walking skirt demands the right
petticoat more mistakenly than any other
skirt in a woman's wardrobe, if it is to
have the graceful! n modish swing, so
the girlish short skirt should he worn over
a petticoat that will be fitted carefully
over the hips and not fall Imply around
the feet.

APPRAISERS APPOINTED.

A special session of circuit court was
called Saturday for the purpose of a
hearing in the matter of condemnation
proceedings to be instituted by the Wis
consin River Traction and Power Co.
against three land owners in the town
of Texas, Henry Gaulke, Thos Grant
and II. G. Ives. The company has
secured right-of-way between this city
and Merrill for the building of an cleo
trio railway line, with the exception of
a strip through lands owned by the
above named people. 1t has made
liberal offers to these people but they
have held out for exhorbitant sums
until it was necessary to resort to con-
demnation proceedings. At the session
of court Saturday Mr. Gaulke was the
only contestant to appear. Judge Sill
verthorn listened to arguments made
by representatives of the company as to
why the lands should be condemned,
and also to Mr. Gaulke's side of the
affair. Neal Brown, for the company,
moved that a board of appraisers be
appointed to go on the lands and make
an appraisal of their value and report
to the court, settlement to be made
with the parties upon the basis of the
appraisers report. The court granted
the request and appointed as such
board, S. M. Quaw, r. E. Parcher and
Jas. Young This board is to COM
mence work Immediately and at
another session of court to be called
soon will make report, and it is hoped
an early settlement of the affair can be
made. The company has filed deeds
for all of that part of its right-of-way
traversing Lincoln county, and as soon
as this matter is settled will file deeds
for that part in this county. 1t looks
now as if work on building the road
win commence this year.

REM EDY FOR DUST.

The following is from the Stevens
Point journal:
The city clerk has received circulars
from the Westrumite Co. in Chicago
advertising their now preparation,
westrumite, as substitute for water
for sprinkling streets, and it is prob
able that the preparation may be ex-
perimented with here to some extent
next season. 1t is "a coal oil preparation
now manufactured at Withing, Ind,
and is said to solve many of the
problems connected with modern street
maintenance. Ever since this city has
been laying improved streets there has
been dissatisfaction with the dust and
sprnkling features. The streets are
nearly always too dry or too wet, the
happy medium condition being of such
short duration as to be unappreciated.
This is not the fault of the person at
tending to the sprinkling but is the
result of the meterial used-water,
which is quickly absorbed and its
salutary effects dissipated. Westru
mite is said to act on streets much the
same as dustless floor oil in buildings
Being petroleum preparation it is a
disinfectant, it acts as binder for ma
cadam streets and renders all surfaces
to which it is applied water proof, it
prevents freezing and disintegration,
it is elastic and therefore prevents the
chipping up OF the street surface, it
saturates and holds the dust on the
ground and it need be applied only
once in from eight TO twenty days, ac
cording to the material of the pave
ment and traffic. 1t may be applied
to any sort of street surface. While
the council may not decide to try
westrumite in particular it is the
opinion of the street commissioner that
some preparation of the kind should be
adopted in order to do away with the |
disagreeable features of water sprink-
ling"
1t may be well for our city council to |
look into this. While in Grand Rapids
recently we learned that some oil had
been used on the streets of tnat city |
and it gave excellent satisfaction.

CITY COUNCIL.

At the regular meeting of the council
held last Tuesday evening, the early
part of the meeting was taken up in
listening to petitions for refund of
taxes alleged to be illegally charged
against certain property owners. One
man was assessed for two houses,
where he owns but one, and other
irregularities of a like nature were
apparent. These petitions were re-
ferred to the committee on claims.
Mrs. Bertha Kuhlman presented
claim for S25 damages for injuries
sustained Dec. Sth on defective side
walk. This also was referred to the
above committee
The mayor announced that he had
effected a settlement with Mrs. Emma
Matt for S25 III payment OF claim for
damages, she having been injured in
falling on defective sidewalk His
action was approved.
The committee on lighting recon-
mended that four per cent. of the Wau-
sau Electric Co.'s bills for lighting be
disaIlowed for stated reasons, and the
recommendation was adopted.
The mayors action in the appoint
ment of Seneca Vosburg as member
of the board of education TO succeed
Louis Salzman, deceased, and Philip
Hogan as patrolman to succeed F. E.
Oviatt, resigned, was approved
The board of public works was au-
thorized to make repairs on the falls
bridge and to buy wood for the city
hall and the poor.
The civic improvement committee of
the Ladies' Literary club, in commun-
ication, announced that it had pur-
chased 601 street signs and asked that
the city have them erected By resolu-
ton it was voted to have them placed
at the direction of the committee on
streets and bridges. A vote of thanks
was also extended the ladies' for their
gift.
The water question was taken up and
resulted in much discussion with a
postponement of action until January
10Th. Health Officer Sauerhering, City
Engineer Nutter, members of the water
commission and the council took part
in the discussion and there were many
differences of opinion evinced. A reso-
luton providing for postponement of
action was carried by a vote of to 6.

DEEDS FOR RlGHT-( ,7-WAY.

Yesterday the Wisconsin River Trac-
ton and Power company, filed deeds
for right-of-way in this county between
here and Wausau, with the register of
deeds. The filings cover as completely
as possible the right-of-way by deed,
the balance to be settled by condem-
nation proceedings.
This is the company which Neal
Brown of Wausau, is connected with in
the project of building an electric road
through the valley.
This looks as though the company
meant business, and while of course a
right-of-way is not railroad, it is one
step nearer, and may ultimately result
in the desired result. We shall be
pleased to chronicle the event in the
near future, if we may.-MerriIl Star.
