picture taken of the delegates to the

funeral directors held in Portland,
Ore, a few weeks ago. Mr.. Deutsch
was one OF the delegates. The picture
is six feet in length.
Judging from reports of people who
were up north the latter part of the
week, there was a greater volume of
rain fell in the upper section than
around here. This is borne out by
the fact that the Wisconsin river at
this point was quite high Sunday
There was hardly enough rain fell in
this locality to raise it to the heighth
it attained.
The firm of Hollis & Kruger of
this city, which is logging near Par
IRISH, was forced one day recently to
turn the entire crew out in search of
a man who got lost while hunting.
The man went out without coat or
vest, and was out all night in the
cold. When found the next evening
he had given up all hope and was
nearly insane.
A troupe playing at the opera house
last night had four dogs, which it
was claimed were brought to this
country by Cook or Peary or some
other falsifyer. They were hitched
to Laplander's sleigh, that is, a
representation of one and were driven
over the snow and ice fields of our
streets, under the aurora bcrealis of
our arc lights. They attracted con-
siderable attention.
The snow storm of today is Just a
u. Ill
the way of weather for some time to
come, but then time flies fast. Next
week Thanksgiving falls, then comes
the Christmas season, four months of
cold weather and snow, and the little
brides will be singing again. Thus
passes life from one year to another
heeting how-short, eyentful and
full of something, whatever you choose
to make it.
The street railroad company has
been taking up all the old fish plates
on its line on Forest street and Grand
Ave-, and replacing them with new
ones. This is done to eliminate the
chug, chug, chug, as the wheels pass
over the joints. They get loose and
settle after constant use. The new
fish plates are of an improved kind,
having groove which fits the lower
fiange of the rail, strengthening the
plate and preventing settling.
Alan Pradt gave mos5 delightful
dinner party to about ten of his boy
friends, last Friday evening. The oc-
casion was his ninth birthday. After
dinner, the evening was spent in play
ing games of various kinds. A number
was given souvenir. 1t was an even
ing which will long be remembered for
its pleasure by those who participated.
When the party broke up, all sincerely
wished Alan ''many happy returns of
the day."
The rainstorm of the latter part of
the week extended over a wide terri
tory and the precipitation was great
er than at any other time during the
year, with one possible exception.
In the southern part of the state
there was very heavy wind, amount
ing to almost hurricane. Buildings
were unroofed and considerable dam
age is reported. Two persons were
struck and killed by lightning A
storm of this kind is not often heard
of occurring in November.
The fill on Grand Ave. at the old
washout is settling and something
will have to be done with the side
walk on the west side soon. The
walk slopes off towards the washout
and if it were not for the railing on
the side, that point would be a
dangerous one. 1t is quite presum-
able that it will be necessary to do |
some more filling next spring and a
little every year. As the ceder paw
ing blocks in the bottom decay the |
roadbed is bound to settle. 1t would |
be impracticable to macadamize that |
