cocoa, three-quarters of q cup of sugar
and one cup Of water to make rich

Returning from a visit to the Seattle
exposition and the Ringing Brothers
circus in the West, John Ringing has
sailed from New York for London,
England. 1t is expected that the Ring
lings will invade England and the con-
tinent next year with their circus. Thus
Wisconsin will produce the greatest
amusement enterprise that ever crossed
the "A tlantic ocean.
From humble cottage in Baraboo,
Wis, to town house in London is a
far cry, but John Ringing has attained
to the latter within quarter of cen
fury. Not only that, he maintains a
luxurious residence on the North Shore
drive, Chicago, garage of half doz-
en- big motor cars, a yacht on Lake
Michigan and the finest private car
carried over any railroad in America.
The Ringlings have winter quarters
in England and enough railroad cars to
transport their big circus, thus it will
be an easy matter for them to cross
the big pond and show all Europe what
a Wisconsin circus is like.

to attend.
The council have decided to adver-
tise for bids for the laying of a water
main from High street at intersection
of Lawton around to meet the main
near Whittet's lumber office. This will
give double system from the pump
ing station to the city, and in case any
thing happened at the standpipe the
Lawton street main can be used. This
plan has been talked of for some years
and the action of the present council
will be approved by all.
There was considerable excitement
in the village of Johnson Creek when
the elevated reservoir, which contains
the villages supply of water, poured
its entire contents into the street be-
low. Through an aperture twelve feet
in diameter, in one side of the struc-
ure, thousands of gallons of water
came forth with terrific speed and de-
scended the steep slope of the hill upon
which the reservoir is built. The water
carried everything in its path, flooded
neighboring cellars and converted the
street into a miniature river. The res
ervoir, which had recently been con-
structed, was undergoing test.
