GOV. SUPERYISES WORK
Spends Most of Time Watching
 Capitol Erection.
Removal of Defective Work Now Almost Completed and Construction Be-
 gins at Once.

Little Rock, August 9.-Before the end of the week work i'll all lines will be in full force at the new State Capitol and it will look like the days of old, before the Kirby decision stopped the work there. The stone cutters have commenced their work and it will take only few days to knock out the few remaining floors and walls. ArchitectiGilbe has his plans so far advanced that the work of con struction can commence as soon as the demolition has been completed. The convicts commenced last week to tear out the north walls and have already made a wreck of the floors and walls on the south end which were pronounced defec- tive. The debris of the south end has been cleared away and with that from the north wing, the grounds in the rear will be more than leveled and ready for the landscape gardener to convert it into a lawn.
 Now that there is no legal end to attend to, Governor Donaghey spends a great deal of his time at the building. He is fulfilling his campaign promises of looking after the work personally and seeing that the state gets what it is paying for. Governor Dona ghey even directs where the debris should be placed to the best of ad- vantage and even the scaffolding

He says the statehouse will be his masterpiece, standing as the best of many buildings he has con- structed, and that he will see that the state gets exactly what was in- tended when the contract was let for the magnificent structure.

PATENTS ON ISLANDS
Land Deal Made After Long
Wait---Two Chicago Men
Apply for Patents On
Thirty Villas County Islands.

An important government
land deal practically reached it's
completion at the Wausau land
office Saturday About seven
years ago Robert Sheppard and
William Walters of Chicago
made entry upon Valentine scrip
of thirty islands in Villas ounty,
ranging in size from 500 of an
acre to ten acres, there being
about torty-hve acres in all.
From that time until this they
have been endeavoring to get a
survey made and plat filed SO
that they could get a patent for
the lands from the government.
The survey was finally made last
summer and the plat thereof
was filed in the y. S. land office
on Tuesday. The land office will
forward the matter to Washing
ton in the near future and it is
probable that patents will follow.
Some years ago a misapprehen-
sion existed regarding these
lands, it being enormously stat
ed in some of the city papers
that the government was about
to throw open to homestead
entry a large lot of land in Villas
county. The facts are that thes
entries were made, as stated,
about seven years ago by Messrs.
Sheppard and Walters, as they
had a right to do, holding Val
entine scrip, for unentered lands.
The body of islands above
spoken of are located in the
northwest part OF the county,
principally in the town ofPresque
Isle.

HAULING LOGS IN MAY
Novel Sight For That Merry
Month When Flowers Are
Supposed TO Bloom.

Hauling loads of logs on sleighs
the fourth day of May is gener-

sight, but the kind of weather
Hicks and his confreres have
dished out to us of late mitigates
the "suprisedness' somewhat.
A fortvhour snow storm last
week gave the ground covering
of about a foot which stuck
tighter than a plaster on the
back until Yesterday when the
wind shifted from the north and
put it on the go.
Up to yesterday noon vehicles
of all kinds were using runners,
and a number of loads of logs
were transported to the mills.
The sight OF hauling logs on
snow in May awoke the old
timers and they have been hold
ing down the sunny side of the
streets yesterday and today

peach crop, and Eaters were

However, Wisconsin wasn't
the only state to be showed IN.
Pittsburg registered a fall of ten
inches, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Ill
inois and even Mississippi had
a snow fall. Other states were
visited by tornado and many
people were killed and left home
less through wind and floods
In the woods there is at pres
ent about two feet of snow and
the ice on the lakes is apparently
as solid today as during the
winter.
