HOW THE LANCASTER
STREETS ARE MADE
North Washington to Be Curbed
and Guttered.
Six Men at Cuba City Quarry Turn
Out 1000 Cubic of Ma
cadam Rock.

Lancaster city has So, 900 to spend
on permanent street work, and Sup
erlntendent George C. Mccarthy is
busy seeing that the money is proper
ly placed. About the only piece of
work of any particular magnitude for
this summer is the re-making of
north Washington street. And this
has not yet been undertaken.
From west Maple street, clean up
to the station and beyond, tn re will
be laid macadam, but before the
macadam starts, there will be gutter
ing and curling of concrete put in
after the most approved plans. This
work has not been advertised for,
but it is expected that the contract
will soon be let for the concrete part
of the job. The gutter. will be two
and half feet wide, and the
macadam will be 80 feet wide, from
gutter to gutter.
There have been put in a lot of
patching and re-makings already,
although the summer is still young.
North Madison street has been
pIastered in number of spots,
and it needed the attention. So
with north Jefferson street and
several others of the most used
thoroughfares. Out beyond the fair
grounds big culvert of concrete has
been finished. This was "a feet
long, and had an opening of three
feet.
Six men are employed in the city
stone quarry, out in Schreiper park.
They are expected to convert solid
rock into 1900 cubic yards of
macadam timber. This stuff comes
out Nos. 1, 2 and 3-coarse, fine and
screenings. The limestone that the
city quarry yields is accounted of most
excellent quality. Anyway, 1T is the
best this section of the country
affords.
Last week John Kraemer was
badly hurt 1t the city quarry by
being struck on the band by sledge,
while he was holding the drill. The
sledge missed the drill top and struck
his hand with much force, inf1icting
a really painful wound.

Grant CO. SOLDIERS
IN annual REUNION
Annual Meeting at Cuba City
and Many in Attendance.
Perfect Weather Makes Meeting a
Big Success-Meet Next
Year at BoscobeI.

Grant County Soldiers and Sailors
Association held their annual meet
ing at Cuba City, June 23rd and oath,
this being the 21st annual reunion
since the separation from the older
Southwestern Wisconsin organization.
Fine weather was experienced both
days although the sprinkling of the
first day caused a few to leave for
their homes. Wednesday was spent
in receiving the boys as they came
in and in registering at headquarters.
In the evening the benches were
turned back and the campfire was
held amid great enthusiasm. The Cuba
| City band furnished music, and speak
ing and story telling, made tho time
pass very pleasantly. The martial
band consisted of James Nd. Hayden,
Bloomington, snare drum, Dick Huff
till, Lancaster, bass drum, Irv.
Smoker, Platteville, fifer and Burt
on Sumner, Lancaster, fifer, playing
the old time melodies to the great
delight of the old soldiers. Thursday
morning the delegations were con-
Quoted TO the grove and at ten O'Clock
the old soldiers, Son of Veterans and
Spanish America war veterans, formed
in parade and marched to the school
house where they met the school
children. They them marched back
to the grove where the further ex-
ercises were held. The ADDRESS of
welcome was given by the president
Arthur Doyle of Cuba, and in a fitting
manner he invited those present to
feel at home. Immediately following
dinner the business meeting was held
and the officers for next year were
elected. The next meeting was ar
ranged for Boscobel and Hugh Mat
thews of that city made president for
the next year. R. A. Goodel, of
Platteville, made the address of the
day and in finely chosen words dis
cussed the events of the past and the
lesson that modern conflicts bring to
the American people. Then followed
the general exercises and program
for the day. Professor and Mrs.
Ralph, of Cuba City, sang patrio-
tic duet and were greatly appreciat-
ed. Perhaps the most interesting
feature of the day was the pickanin-
MES from Dubuque, who sang songs
IN such an entertaining way that a
collection was taken for them and the
money deposited on the platform for
them to grab at, to the delight of the
audience.
149 old soldiers had registered up
to four o'clock Thursday. The meet
ing adjourned amid great good feeling
and promises for attendance next
year.

OiIing The Streets.

The oil tank containing 10,O15
gallons of oil for the Lancaster
streets, arrived in the city last Thurs
day evening and the oiliDg commenc-
ed Friday morning. The oil is pur-
chased from the Barber Asphalt Co, :.
Maurer, N. J. and contains go per
cent asphalt. Prior to the oiling the
streets are carefully washed and
cleaned and then the oil is heated to
about 200 degrees and sprayed on
the street, and then as quickly as
possible sand is applied and thorough
ly rolled. When the surface dries it
forms a hard crust that keeps down
the dust.

POWER OF CYCLONE ON JUNE: 10TH
CAUSES Great HAVOC IN WISCONSIN
Strange Freaks of Storm Recorded by Our Exchanges
Extended Almost Across the State and
Does Great Damage.

following: 'There we're many un-
usual happenings in the accidents.
At the Pickering home there were
five persons, including a baby in the
crib. The ladies were watching the
storm, and, believing that it was
nothing serious, they went to supper.
Just then the baby began to cry and
one of them took the little one in her
arms and at that moment the storm
struck the house and 1t was de-
molished. The occupants, however,
escaped with few bruises and the
baby received scratch on the face.
The crib was found at the bottom of
the wreck of the house.
t'In another place a little garage
was carried about 300 feet, over the
top of house, and dropped on a
vacant lot. In the building was a
Ford car, and it was served like the
building smashed to pieces, all but
the engine, and the tires are left in
flated.
1.-The freaks that generally accom-
pany a severe wind storm were not
/ lacking. At one place pump and
twenty feet of pipe were torn out
and twisted, yet the platform through
which the pipe was pulled was hard
ly damaged. On another farm a
windmill was blown down and SO
badly smashed up that, but for the
fans it could not have been recogniz-
ed as windmill.
The Prairie du Chen Courier says !:
cat the Andrew Moldrem place the
escape of himself and family of eight
was something miraculous. A fine
new structure 28x3O foot, two
stories high, with the entire house
hold of ten persons was picked up and
lifted across the Sc foot roadway.
That any of the members of Mr..
Moldrem's family live to tel the
tale is wonderful.
"Mrs. Roeberg's version of the
storm is as follows: we were all
in the house just getting ready for
supper when the wind struck US, )"
she said. cit was about 5 80 or a
little later when we first saw the
storm coming from across the river.
When the wind did hit, Benny jump
ed out the door and ran into the
potato cellar. He wasn't hurt a
bit. The rest of US tried to hold the
door shut against the storm.
I'VE held out about a minute.
Then the door blew in and the flames
from the stove flashed over the
whole place. couldn't see any,
thing but that sheet of fire. Then
l heard big crash and the next
thing l knew l was lying on the
floor and the house was hundred
yards from the foundation.
"A little later, Odin, my boy
here, came up and found me. He
had been carried hundred and fifty
yards and thrown through a barbed
wire fence. That's where he got
all the cuts. The others were blown
with the house. ''-Richland Center

question. Liberty township lnclud-
ing Sitter will become dry and the
saloon at Sitter will close its DOORS.
Muscoda has for the time at least
definitely settled the license matter
as the village board last Monday
night voted in favor of granting six
saloons privilege to operate. The
entire argument heretofore has
n on the tie vote of the 'ast
,tion, and as the board was even
ly divided, president Victora con-
ferred with other authorities and
finally decided that the town was
wet. He cast the deciding vote.
Hazel Green villagers dry but the
towr hip is wet, the saloon being on
the line just outside the village.
Boscobel village is dry, with the town
wet. Following is the status of the

Outside of the awful havoc caused
by the cyclone that passed over this
section of the state, Saturday, June
18th, our exchanges record many
freaks caused by the storm. From
the Prairie du Chen Press we clip
the following: "The timber through
which the funnel passed is mass of
broken and twisted trees, many torn
from the earth by the roots and
scattered everywhere with the wrecks
of the buildings, horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs and chickens. Many are
the freaks caused, one of them being
the ripping of ALL the feathers from
chickens almost unbelievable, but
true. A boy had the quill of a
chicken feather driven through his
foot.
Family heirluoms and treasures
of a lifetime are lost and many
articles carried for miles. Among
some of the strange things was the
finding of two battered and broken
rocking chairs at Pine Knob fourteen
miles from the scene of the great
disaster.
"A concrete block twelve feet
long, six feet wide and two feet
thick was broken in two and half of
it moved three feet. The enormous
power of the elements was shown
when the wind picked up concrete
platform on which was bolted a heavy
gasoline engine and swept it over a
heavy log building 20 feet beyond,
and left standing right side up. "
"The parochial school at the
Aspenson corner was picked up bodily
from the foundation and carried
away, no one knows where. but
nothing of its remains have been
found, and so complete was the re-
moval that no one would ever sus-
picion building had stood there ex-
cept for the fact the foundation re-
Mains.
From the Viola News the follow
lDS dIbtCiC 10 IdhSu WuICu IciIS VI ehC
power of a wind storm: "Many
queer FRANKS were reported, among
which is a piece of board found on
the Henry Bennett farm which is
supposed to be piece of roof board
with galvanized iron nails in it..
No one in this vicinity had building
destroyed on which such nails were
used, and it is supposed to have come
from the Bowman district, nearly
thirty miles away. Charles Hall
found a cheese on his farm, and as no
cheese factories were blown away
here, this is also supposed to have
come from the same district where
two or three factories were blown
down. One man had a disc blown
away and when found the several
disc had been torn off the axle. A
seeder was torn to pieces and scatter
ed, when found one wheel was lying
on the ground, every spoke broken in
two pieces and the hub loose from
the heel but lying in the center. +"

the storm at Reedsburg, we clip the

And gems the tropic glow
The eagle screams in triumph
It's welcome to the day
And spreads its wings exultant
Where liberty holds sway.
From ocean unto ocean
And far beyond the seas
It's notes of shrill defiance
Are borne by every breeze.
