Mrs. B. A. Benson and Miss Club
bnck gave a "Song Party on Friday
evening last Each guest came in a
costume representing song. Some
of the songs were most unique.
Yesterday morning was busy time
in municipal court. Five who had
tarried too long at the wine glass,
two men and two women who had
been found in an uncompromiSing
position, were up before the bar of
justice.
The annual meeting of the assessors
Of the different towns and villages
was convened in the court house this
forenoon at eleven O'Clock. The body
will be in session nearly all after
noon, during which Supervisor L. III.
Cook will read his address and give
his instructions, as laid down by the
state tax commission.
A. J. Plowman, in the city today,
states that the rain and snow storms
were very beneficial to his locality,
the town of ElderOn. A few days ago
he says the country was burning up.
He fought fires for several days. The
rains came at an 0pportune time and
probably saved thousands of dollars
worth of standing timber.
"Never put off until tomorrow the
overcoat you should have worn today"
is an, epigram which came forcihly
back to our memory when we started
up town Friday morning with our
linen buster covering our Prince
Albert. Some fellow land he was no
fool either once said, sWhen the
weather is fair, take thy great coat
with thee"
One of the noticeable features about
the last non-partisan election was in
the election expense returns made by
the candidates. Few spent any money
at all, and those who did, did not dig
very deep into their old buckskin
sacks. A law to prohibit the use of
money in politics would be boon to
the candidates outside the Ike Steph-
enson class.
J. N. Manson's Sunday school class
of the Universalist church numbering
fifteen young men, and Mrs. Kelly's,
having about the same number of
young ladies, were given the use of
the dancing room in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. C. G. Yawkey, and on Fri
evening they all danced TO their
hearts content, enjoying an evening
of great pleasure.
The terrific explosion you heard
this morning was not the powder mill
on Rib hill blowing up. 1t was only
drop in prices on Callies' wall paper.
The two recent attempts to enter
homes on Grant street, ought to set
our people to thinking. Do you keep
money in your home? Do you keep
valuable papers, or valuable Jewelry?
1t is bad practice. At a small ex-
pense you can secure a safety deposit
vault in the National German Amer
lean bank, where you can p,ace your
yaluables and have no fear OF burglars
or of fire.
At the time of the Hatley and Holt
fires, a short time since, another fire
occurred as result of efforts made to
extinguiSh the one at Holt. A loco
motive was sent out to Eland Jet. to
haul the WauSau fire engine into Holt.
Sparks from this locomotive set fire
to quantity of cedar poles, posts,
ETC., belonging to Wittenberg con-
Germ, and burned up about $1,000
worth of property.
A farmer residing on the Town Line
road came into town yesterday with a
sleigh. Before he started for home
the snow had mostly disappeared. A
few weeks ago, in one OF our daily
perambulationS, we came across Levi
Fleming, wearing straw hat. That
day the weather was mild. During
the night a change came and the fol-
lowing day Mr.. Fleming came down
town wearing his winters fur cap.
Sich is life in this latitude.

tract for the construction of club

room, etc.
A Waterman is constantly employed
at the old fremont house on the fiat
to prevent a breaking of quarantine.
Six families of Russians reside in the
building. One death from scarlet
fever has occurred in one family and
another child was taken sick. The
authorities feared a spread of the
disease to each family on account of
lax observance of quarantine rules,
and so a man was stationed at the
house. He remains there ten hours
each day, allowing no one TO enter or
depart from certain portion of the
house.
Two yeung women, recent arrivals
from Woodruff, are held at the county
Jail and viii be forced to explain in
court tomorrow how they came TO
mistake certain livery barn for a
lodging place. Both are of seedy APP
pearance, and though young they
bear evidences of having travelled
down the broad white way faster than
a walk. They are sisters. Some time
ago the authorities made an effort TO
