ROCK FAMINE.

For the first time in several years the
city is short of rock and there is hardly
half enough on hand to carry out this
years macadamizing program. The
shortage is due to the poor sleighing the
past winter. In the early part of the
winter at time when work on the farm
is generally slack and the farmer had
plenty of time to haul rock, there was
no sleighing. Later when snow came
he began hauling logs, wood, hay and
other commodities, which netted him
more money. The result is that the
city finds itself facing rock famine.
When work on the streets closed last
fall about 250 cords of rock was left
over. During the winter only about
800 cords were hauled.
This condition of affairs is a serious
one. 1t is thought quite an amount of
rock can be secured near the city and
hauled on wagons during the summer,
but still there will be shortage The
work laid out for last year was only
about half finished. 1t will take all of
this coming summer to complete the
program of 1907. Consequently no
further recommendations for new
work will be listened to by the council
at this time. The city pays out yearly
between $1,000 and $4,000 for rock, so
that the expenditure this year is only
about half of this amount. 1t means,
in measure, that much saved to the
LAX payers, but the city needs good
streets nevertheless.

AN INDIAN LECTURE.

The congregation of the German M.
f. church was addressed Sunday even
ing by j. Mohammed Ali, formerly of
Lahore, India, now resident of this
country. The subject of his address
was, Christianity the Hope of India"
Mr.. Ali conducts a wholesale tea and
cocoa house in Detroit, Mich, and acts
as his own travelling salesman. While
on the road he gives lectures under the
auspices of the Central Lyceum bureau
of Chicago. Mr. Ali is an interesting
man. On the street he is dressed as is
any Caucasian, except that he wears an
Indian turban. On the rostrum his
garb is strictly Indian. His father is
physician in the family of an Indian
prince who visited this country at the
time of the Worlds fair in 1898. In
his early life Mr.. Ali attended English
colleges in his own country and twelve
years ago he accepted the christian be-
lief and was baptised in it. For this he
was stunned by relatives ald friends
who still stick to the Mohammedan
faith and so he came to this country
and intends to live here permanently.
Mr.. Ali is tall and as straight as an
arrow. He has swarthy complexion,
but his facial appearance would be con-
sidered fairly handsome by most people.
He has the jet black, piercing eyes
characteristic of his race. and his gen
eral expression denotes Intelligence.

Delicate Point.

How long before regular hours for
consultation should a doctors pa
tients be permitted to wait in his re-
ception room? That is a question that
is troubling the minds of several west
side physicians at present. Il used
to claim" said one doctor, "that any
man who wished to consult me was
privileged to wait in my Office all day
Il he wanted to, provided it took me
that long to get ready to give him
my attention. Experience, however,
has made me skeptical on that point.
My Office hours are to 10, 2 to and
to 8. For perly it was my rule that
any patient Who called two minutes
after I had left the house should be
allowed to wait until I returned. I'm
fortunately / found that plan gave
sneak thieves splendid chance to
get in their work. 1t was impossible
for the girl to keep AN eye on the
callers every minute of the two or
three hours that some people under
took to wait, and as a consequence 1
and other people in the house suf-
fered from several very clever rob-
berries.
"At last gave instructions that no
one should be admitted longer than
half an hour before my expected re-
turn. Still, in some cases that seems
unjust. A person may have travelled
quite distance to consult a physi-
clan, and may be stranger in the
neighborhood. If he is turned away
from the doctors office, where shall
he wait? The question involves so
many points of professional etiquette,
Justice, and protection of property
that it is by no means easily settled"

Hollands oo,ooo WAGE Farmers.

With 100000 inhabitants Holland

mutual associations or casualty COM
panies. In 1904 there were S4,046 in
sured establishments. Premiums are
paid by employ ers according to wages
and risk. The receipts of 1904 were
sSSS,000. The benefits are (a) disa-
bility, free treatment and daily pay
ments up to 20 per cent of wages; !;
(b) permanent disability, pensions up
to 70 per cent. of wages from seventh
week; (c) to dependents of deceased,
pensions up to 60 per cent of wages
and a death benefit of thirty times
the daily wage. In case of willfulness
no indemnity is paid, and in case of
drunkenness only half. Six hundred

A FREAK HEN.

w. j. Kregel, supervisor of assess
ment, has a hen that is evidently lineal
descendent of hoot owl. She is no
longer satisfied with laying her eggs by
the light of day, as is an ordinary fowl.
This hen, to the contrary, waits until
the mantle of darkness has spread over
the face of Mother Earth, and then pro-
ceeds to her nest. A few minutes later
another egg is added to MIR. Kregels s
collection, ana the hen is emitting
cackles of delight to the disgust of the
rest of the hens, who are attempting to
catch few hours sleep after their
arduous duties of the day.
Lately the hen has shown indications
of having a strain of duck in her make
up, for during the last few nights she
has laid her eggs, not in the nest, but in
a pan of water. The hen has become
somewhat of wonder up in the north
sec ton of the town where Mr.. Kregel
resides, and he is keeping his weather
eye on his freak chicken, so that no
nocturnal prowler will rob him of the
prize.
This bird is a Rhode Island Red and
was Matched last spring from a collec-
ton of eggs received by E. ID. Under
wood from the ''show me" state. The
latter explains this night laying in
this way. He says it is merely a mis-
calculation of time. He claims thai
the Missourians are early risers and &c
at their work generally before the rise
of sun. The hen being so wrapped up
in her duties, decides to get an early
start, and so lays her eggs long before
the rooster announces the break of dav

MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS.

Papers were served the middle of last
week on the mayor and common coun-
Gil in mandamus proceedings brought
to have that body show cause why the
saloon license OF Fred Brand should not
be revoked at once. This is sequence
of the fight made short time since by
the Law and Order league to revoke
the license because of the fact that MIR.
Brand had sold bottle of beer 10 Chas.
Kalchik, aged eighteen years, on Feb.
Is. Upon failure of the council to re-
woke the license, b. H. Conlin, guardian
of the boy, followed the matter up and
brought mandamus proceedings against
the mayor and every lember of the
council, papers even being served upon
Alderman Schmidt of the Fifth wart
who was at the time of the special coun-
Gil meeting called to consider the Brand
matter, on the Atlantic ocean, home
ward bound from a visit to Germany.
The summons was very lengthy and
contained all the proceedings of the
special council meeting. 1t provided
that the case be heard in municipal
court last Saturday and at that time the
case was called. City Atty. NJ B. Ros-
enberry appeared in the city's interests.
Fred Genrich for the prosecution, while
+. +. Bump represented someone-pre-
sumably Mr. Brand. Messrs. Rosen-
berry and Genrich both objected TO
Mr.. Bump taking any part in the pro-
ceedings and long argumentfollowed
Finally it was decided to postpone the
case to March 26.

LAST MUM Der.

The windup number of the Y. M. c.
A. course of entertainments will be the
Rogers -Grilley recital, which is to be
given tomorrow evening in the M. E.
church. Van Veachton Rogers is a
harpist; Chas. T. Grilley, an enter
taiLer.
Rogers has a harp that would push
any of the Tara's halls orchestra off the
rostrum and he handles it with mas
terly touch as well as with mastery in
depreciation and good judgment. His
harp is a rare prodact of the skilled
harp mechanic and, built with especial
ly long strings, he is able to do the
etudes and more serious numbers with
as intelligent Interpretation as a pianist.
Along with this he plays the whole
gamut of the musical emotions 40 that
when he hes finished there is little to
be desired. Mr.. Grilley as humorist
and reciter is just as classic in his work
and his cyclone of humor is just as
artistic in its way as his touches of
pathos is delicious and like the harpist's
work, whatever he does is marked with
a finish that proves the genius of the
real artist. The combination of the
two specialists, proves Sc perfectly in
terwoven that every part fit as natural
ly as if it had been born instead of hav-
ing been designed and worked out.
Grilley looks some like Eugene Field
of blessed memory, and Field has no
better interpreter. His stories are
good, well told and never overdone,
and his audiences compliment him by
taking them, whether tie humor is
broad or barely suggested, with the
quickest appreciation.

BASKET BALL GAME.

AS predicted, the basket ball game
last Wednesday evening, the 18th, be-
tween the Lawrence university team OF
Appleton, champion college team of the
state, and the local "Y' team, was the
greatest one that has been played in
this city in years. The game opened
up with rush and in about three min
utes the Y had scored three field throws
and one free throw and then Lawrence
threw free throw, score to in Y's
favor. Then the real excitement be-
gan. Lawrence started right after the
Y fellows and at the end of the first half
they were ahead by two points. The
second half opened up with both teams
strong and determined and until the
final gong sounded, calling time, the
game was in doubt. The Lawrence
team excelled in team work in this
half, although enough cannot be said
in praise of the bold, aggressive game
the local boys put up. The game ended
27 to 26 in favor of the visitors and was
fast, close and very rough. lntercol-
legiate rules were played and these
rules allow of more freedom in the
game But it was not nearly as rough
as the college teams play it. 1t seems
that when they play. it is by the spirit
of the rules not by the Interpretation of
them, and N. II. Norman, in officiating,
interpreted the rules as they read, and
in doing so held the Lawrence boys
down very close, calling more fouls on
them, they claim, than has been called
on them in all their games. On the
other hand our boys did remarkably
well under the circumstances and were
well pleased.
There was little feeling expressed
during the game against the Lawrence
team but Mr.. Norman says: I'VE played
their rules and took our medicine, and
we have no kick coming, whatever"
The lineup of the teams was as fol-

The average life Of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-five

insects destroy the remainder. By
peeling the timbers and properly sea-

them treatment In oils or chemical
salts, their length of service is materi-
ally increased.

Birds Teach Lazy Man a Lesson.

Go to the birds, thou sluggard, for
birds can and do work far harder
than human beings. A pair of house
martins, when nesting, will feed their
young ones in 20 seconds-that is,
each bird, male and female, makes 80
journeys to and fro an hour, or about
1000 day. On each journey the
bird has the added work of catching
the insects. Even so tiny bird as
the wren has been counted to make
110 trips to and from it's nest within
430 minutes; and the prey carried
home consisted of larger, heavier and
harder to fnd insects than were
caught by the sparrows. Among them
were 20 good-sized caterpillars, zen
grasshoppers, seven spiders, IL worms
and more than one fat chrysalis.

The ostrieh,s Appetite.

Everybody has noticed what an ex-
traordinary appetite the ostrich has.
II seems to eat anything-stones, jew
elery, hardware. pennies; in fact, all
manners of odds and ends. So folk
say of people able, apparently, to feed
on anything that they have the diges-
tion of an ostrich. But, as Mrs. Annie
Martin points out, the queer mixture
which the creature swallows is neces-
sary to prevent it from having bad
digestion. They are, In short, the
teeth, or millstones, which grind its
food, cnly, instead OF being in its
mouth, they are placed In its stomach.
Every cage bird picks up grains OF
sand for the same purpose, thus doing
on q tiny scale what the ostrich does
on q very large one.
