Renewing the Sidewalks.

AS the frost comes out of the
ground it leaves much of the old
plank sidewalk in much worse con-
dition than it was last fall.
While a considerable amount of
cement walk was laid in the city
last year it is probable that still
greater amount will be built this
season. Long stretches of the old
plank walk are so badly rOtted that
they are sadly in need of repairs or
renewal. 1t is not likely that any
new plank walk will ever be built
here in view of the fact that lumber
is so high that it makes the build
ing of such walks impracticable.
AS the old walks are taken up some
of the plank are found to be quite
sound and these are made use of to
patch up short stretches of the old
walk that need it most but cannot
Immediately be entirely rebuilt.
1t is a question now being dis
cussed as to whether it would not
be a measure of economy and of
public policy for the city to build
the cement walks under the direc-
ton of man skilled in the science
of mixing cements, concrete. If the
building of cement walks is let to
an outside company that company
will get all it's help from abroad and
the money for sidewalk building
will be mostly expended out of the
city. If the city builds the walks
steady employment can be given to
a number of the residents of the
city who under other circumstances
would be compelled to look else
where for employment, and these
men if employed here would spend
their wages in the city.
If the city would get at its sea-
sons work on the sidewalks and
water-mains extension early in the
spring it could readily find suffi-
cient supply of help here to do the
work. Last spring but little work
was being done in the city and a
large number of men, residents of
the city and anxious to get work at
home, were under the necessity of
looking elsewhere for work and la
ter when the city wanted help such
help was hard to get. 1t is the du-
ty of the city TO look to the advant-
age of its citizens.

The 59th Congress.

In many ways the seth Congress,
which expired on March 4, was one
of the most notable legislative bod
les since the civil war. In the char
acter of its membership and in ac-
tual results accomplished to pro-
mote the general welfare, it will
compare favorably with any Con-
gress that has ever assembled. It's
first session will probably be best re-
membered for the law in extention
of the powers of the interstate COM
merce commission over common
carriers. In that session was en-
acted also the law for a lock canal
at Panama, and the acts for pure
food and meat inspection, and pro-
vision was made for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
to the federal union as one state.
The achievements of the present
short session are less important,
though by no means insignificant.
Since the session was convened in
December, $1,000, 100000 has been
appropriated for the coming fiscal
year. Before the adjournment is
taken Monday the following laws
will be credited to the record:
Two big battleships authorized.
Prohibition of campaign contributions from
corporations.
Exclusion of Japanese provided for
Giving government right of appeal in Grimm
al cases.
Investigation of child and woman labor.
Salaries of cabinet members, vice president,
speaker, senators and representatives raised.
Million dollars loaned to jamestown expo
sition.
Appropriation for Alaska YuSon exposition
River and harbor bill, carrying S83,OOO,0CO.
General service pensions.
Hours OF labor bill for railway employees.
Reorganization of artillery corps of army.
Salaries of postoffce clerks and carriers in
creased.
Salaries of ambassadors, ministers and con-
suls increased.
General immigration restricted.
Smoot allowed to retain his seat
Santo Domingo treaty ratified.
Algeciras treaty ratified.
Agricultural bank for the Philippines author
led
Currency law modified.
Denatured alcohol law modified to NEE

A Sweeping Decision.
Saloon Men Must Obey the
Statutes and Ordinances or
Lose License.

The Supreme Court of this state
has recently handed down decis-
ion in a case arising in the city
of Madison, declaring it to be the
duty of common councils and village
and town boards TO revoke the
license of any saloon-keeper who
violates either the provisions of
state law or local ordinance in the
conduct of his business. Under this
decision if a common council, viii
lage or town board fails, neglects or
refuses to revoke the license of any
person who has violated any ordin'
ance, bylaw or resolution of the
council or board granting the license
mandamus will lie to compel such
revocation and very probably the
officials so refusing could be re-
moved from office for misfea-
Sance.

Commercial Feeding Stuffs
Much Impoved.
Adulteration Reduced From So
to l 1 Per Cent. Result of Oper-
alton of State Law Shown by
State University Bulletin.

That the character of the concen-
trated feeding stuffs sold in Wis
consin during the past year has i'm
proved over the standard of prev
ious years to the extent that the
percentage of adulterated or sus-
picious feeds has been reduced
from SO to IL per cent, is one of the
interesting facts shown by the new
bulletin on licensed commercial
feeding stuffs prepared by Professor
F. w. Woll and George A. Olson
and issued by the University of
Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment Station. The number Of de-
fciencies in the guaranteed compo-
sition of the licensed feeds was
smaller this year than at any time
since the feed law went into opera
ton five years ago. Fewer mixed
feeds of inferior grade were offered
for sale than in the past years. The
improvement in quality is more
marked in the case of those con-
tanning ground corn and oats than
in any other class of feeds. Dur
ing the first year of the operation
of the law, 1902, fifty-nine per cent
of the number of samples collected
and analysed by the University of
Wisconsin Experiment Station Of
fcials were either unquestionably
adulterated or suspicious. In the
past year not one of the samples of
ground corn and oats collected was
adulterated and but two suspicious
lots were found.

The Primitive Violin.

In its primitive form the violin was
n direct development Of the Tyre and
monochord-the strings from the for
mer and the elongated box. with its
sound holes, finger board and movable
bridge, from the latter. The history
of the violin began with the invention
of the bow some time before the thir-
teenth century, when the voile, or vielle.
used by the troubadours, made its ap-
pearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle Of the
sixteenth century, when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. II was not
until the thirteenth century that the
vielle was scooped out at the waist.
The corner blocks were added in the
fifteenth century and are attributed
to Germany. For nearly a century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument before they were cut
In their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them.-Circle Magazine.
