Z Adolph Wiechman, who has been
quite i'll of late, is at present reported
improving. Today he was able to sit
up for spell.
Most people wonder how Callies can
make any profit in selling glass as
cheap as he does. Well, he's not
getting rich at it by any means, but
he's helping out a community.
Herbert, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Buchanan of the town of Ringle, died
yesterday of commissions. The little
fellow was year and four months of
age. The funeral will be held tomor-
row afternoon. Rev. Jas. Duer of
this city, will conduct services.
Starting next Monday the water
superintendent will cause all the
city's water mains to be flushed and
empited of their accumulation of
grass, cabbage, ETC., which has been
in process of growth for so long.
Looking through glass of it (the
Water) when it is riled up, as it was
a few days ago, it has kaleidoscope
effect, and is very beautiful in it's
many colors.
An ordinance to cover a resolution
recently passed by the city council
has been drawn, which prohibits the
playing of football within the confines
of the city. This will be brought be-
fore the council at its next meeting
and without doubt will be passed.
The ordinance fixes fine of from 81
to $40 for anyone engaging in the
bone breaking sport.
The department of Art and Litera-
ture of the Ladies' Literary club met
on Monday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Fred Becker on Fulton street.
The afternoon was devoted to the
study of Mexico. Interesting papers
were read by Mesdames Woodward,
Chubbuck, Albers, and Miss Nell
Silverthorn. Mrs. Book gave a short
talk on the recent federation meeting
at Green Bay, after which refresh
ments were served by the hostess.
A visit to the west side on Mon
day will surprise you at the amount
of produce and live stock which
reaches the city from the towns on
that side. At one time the PROPOSE
ton of establishing market place on
the west side was brought to the at
tention of the city council, but it was
not very robust and died early in life.
I If one were established it would be a
convenience for the west side citizens,
as we'll as for the farmers. The west
side merchants buy most of the farm
produce brought in, but the bulk of
the hay and wood goes across the
bridge, and is often hauled back to
that side, after it has been sold.
Elsewhere in this issue we said
that there had been another delay in
the shipment of the ornamental light
ing posts to this city. We are obliged
to correct the statement to a certain
degree. There was delay, but the
balance of the posts arrived yesterday
and were distributed today. They
will be set up at once, and it will be
but short time before Washington
and Scott streets will be lighted by
this system. The lights donated to
the public library by Mrs. Parcher
will be fed from the Washington
street conduit. The four bronze lights
will be set up as soon as the city's
lights have been connected.
