The children are taking advantage
of the Consolidated lagoon above the
stone arch bridge and are enjoying
themselves skating. The water is
shallow here and there is absolutely
no danger for there is not depth of
water enough in which to drown
unless they should fall in head fore
most and remain that way. This
lagoon is an excellent place for the
children to skate with safety and the
Consolidated Paper Co. stockholders
will be delighted to know that they
have made it possible for the children
to enjoy themselves in absolute safety.

ARRESTEDFOR
INDECENT EXPOSURE

Theo. Wacholtz a farmer residing
in the town of Sigel, came to our city
with load of wood on Monday which
he had no trouble in selling as wood
has teen very much in demand during
the cold spell.
Z After unloading his wood he immed-
lately hied himself to the nearest
grog shop for drink of whiskey
which it seems did not have very
salutary effect upon him, for shortly
afterwards he was cutting up all sorts
of caperS and attracting the attention
of pedestrians. He was finally rounded
up by the police and slowed away in
the city calaboOse on the west side for
the night. Tuesday morning he was
taken before Justice Edward Pomain-
vile on a charge of drunkenness and
indecent exposure and fined 81 and
costs amounting to $685. which he
promptly paid.
