BAD PIECE
Of STREET.

The property owners on Baker ST.,
between Seventh and Eighth Sts., are
about to make complaint to the State
Board of Health in case the local
Board of Health and city authorities
do not Immediately take steps toward
draining Baker st. between Seventh
and Eighth streets. Water stands on
Baker st. between these two blocks
almost the year around and has been
so ever since the SearTs hill on
said street was reduced. The authOri
ties and street commissioners have
had their attention called to this but
for some unaccountabIe reason it
has never been attended to. While
the property holders dislike to take
such steps they feel they are justi-
fled in doing so unless it is immedi-
ateIy corrected. This Tuesday morn
ing, May %, there is nearly six
inches depth of water standing on
both sides of said street a distance
of fully half of the block and the
sheet Of water spreads out nearly
six feet wide on both sides Of said
street. It is time this was remedied.

ONE MAN POWER
STUMP FULLER
The Wipperman Machine Exhib-
ibited Here with Success.
Means Much to Development
of Northern Wisconsin.

Mr.. r. 0. Wipperman of Chicago,
H., the inventor Of a one-man power
pulling machine, conducted a demon
stration with his machine in this city
on May 10th, and astonished all those
present by pulling several large pine
stumps with comparative ease; US
ing only the power that the muscles
Of his arms could furnish.
The stumps that he pulled averag-
ed two feet in diameter and were
considerably over the average of Wis
consin pine stumps 1t required on
an average of eleven minutes to pull
each of the stumps.
The stump puller is the smallest
and lightest of any ever shown and
looks entirely out of proportion with
the enormous strength that it will
develop 1t is not much harder to
cart the machine over the ground
than it would be to cart a wheel-bar-
row full of stone The total weight
of the machine, pulling cable, anchor
cable, take up, power pulley and
chains is GAO pounds. Mr. Wiper
man carried the machine from the
Stahmann blacksmith shop to the
area of stumps, a distance of 700 feet
unassisted. He placed the machine
in position and adjusted the anchor
the pulling cables unassisted and fina
ly pulled the stumps without assist
ance whatever.-Bruce News Letter

thousand school children and their
parents attended the moving picture
shows and listened to the lectures of
DR.. Harvey Dee Brown in the first
two weeks of the big health crusade

HORSE BREAKS LEG
AND IS SHOT

In some manner unknown to the
writer, bennington Bros faithful
black horse that they used on their
delivery wagon had his right hind leg
broken in front of the Julien Hotel
Friday evening just after six O'Clock
The driver was backing the horse up
to the curb and in some manner his
leg was broken just below the knee
The horse did not fall down but wa
standing when DR.. Cottrill was called
to make an examination and found
that the horse had broken his leg
The horse was shot and taken away.
While the animal was pretty far ad-
vanced in years he had been a most
faithful horse and was doing his work
regularly every day as usual. His loss
is considerable, considering the fact
that his place will be hard to fill as
he was always reliable and steady.
