RAILROAD In
ADAMS COUNTY
From Kiib0urn to Grand Rapids
Via Friendship.

The Central Wisconsin Transit COM
pany filed the petitions OF the male
resident taxpayers of Adams county,
with County Clerk Pease here today.
The transit company claims that
there are enough signerS to insure the
issuance of bonds for the proposed
railroad.
The company in its proposition asks
for 100000 aid. Burns & Co. of Chi
cago are back of the enterprise aud the
Indications are that Adams county
will at last get a railroad.
Bond issues have been asked for
many years from the people of the
county, but through legal entangle-
ments and the intense opposition Of all
of the outlying towns the various VEN
lures have failed. Burns & Co. come
to the people of the county well recon-
mended and the present prospects for
securing county aid appear good.
The county board will soon be con-
vened to pass upon the petitions. In
the event. that the road is built from
Kiibourn to Grand Rapids, as called
for in the petition, many prosperous
villages will spring up in Adams
county. The road is planned from
Kilbourn to Grand Rapids by way of
the village of Friendship and ira
verses the center of the county from
north to south.

passing strange that two of our lead

The selection was from the third act and the setting was in a rustic neighborhood with Gilda and Rigolletto in the street in front Of an inn and Maddalena and the duke on the ground floor of the inn. The lead part in the story was that of the tenor and preceding the rendition Mrs. W. F.. Deity read a sketch of it. It was alone, so say those who heard it, a program number of as much merit as some high priced entertainments in their entirety. and shows the kind of work the Musi- sians club is doing.
 Miss Berthea Kirkland gave the piano solo 'Etude Staccato' by Ruben stein so beautifully she had to respond to an encore and rendered the Cradle Song by Grieg.
 Then came the number for which the Friday club secures sole credit and it was music of most appealing nature. namely the tinkling of the tea cups and spoons and other minor strains that mark the serving of afternoon refresh ments that all could and did enjoy. Each woman present was also furnish ed with q buttoniere of pansies.
 This over Baby Liebenow was again called upon and did her full share of entertaining in the singing of two or three more songs in her inimitable way. The exercises were concluded by brief talks by Mrs. Kibbey and Mrs. Fowler. who thanked the guests and visitors for their parts in helping to make the pro- gram one of such pleasure and satis- faction for all

CONCRETE ON A NEW PLAN.


On the PaeiAs Coast.
Particulars IRE given In the Engi.
neering Record Of concrete wall that
has recently been constructed In Y
rather unusual manner by ]. +. Lyman
Of Modesto. Cal. Between the framing
forming the outer and inner faces OF
the wall cOllapsible hollow cylinders
somewhat less In diameter than the
thickness Of the wall were placed yer.
tlcally at intervals, the cylinders hav.
Ing previously been perforated with
several holes. The object Of this was
to drain the water from the fresh con.
crete as the latter was placed round
the cylinders.
The concrete having been nlled In
round the cylinders. 1t was allowed to
set during the night and the water
which had collected In tho cylinders
was then pumped out and the cylinders
were withdrawn, the space which they
occupied being filed with concrete. II
Is stated that the hollow cylinders con.
tanned from two to six inches of clear
water at the end Of from ten to twelve
hours, the water having drained from
the concrete.
The object In providing this extra
drainage was. to procure uniform set
throughout the mass Of concrete. II
appears that large number Of con.
crete structures have been built by Mr..
Lyman In this way, including the head
gates. waste weirs, drops and highway
bridges on large irrigation works.
Concrete laid by this method 10 said
to be unusually free from cracks and
Ia very uniform In strength.
