Point Bridge Considerable.

Working at present on the Platte
ville-Dubuque highway are about IL

ton of Fred A. Skemp of jamestown.
The havoc created by the high waters
was worse than, at first feared, as the
bottoms were covered by water, and
in some places raging current that
stood from one to two feet above the
top of the road. Wherever the cur
rent got in it's work the damage is
greatest as 1900 feet of missing guard
rail, about 1000 cubic yards of dirt
carried away and the macadam dress
ing removed from the road for a
depth of two inches or so for half a
mile would indicate. The total re-
pairs will cost around $1,000. Grant
county road maintenance fund will
foot the bill.

city loop will leave the main line and
proceed east on Elm street to Wash
ington street This is the c., e n. w

ton street to Maple street at the linda

ness men simply represents their
opinion and the matter of franchise
and what street routes shall be used

Dennis O'Brien of Turtle Lake,
state patient who escaped last year and
went all the way home, is missing
again from the county farm since a
week ago last Sunday. Dennis origin
ally was sent to Barron county, but
gave so much trouble there with his at
tempts to escape that he was sent to
Mendoza. Later the state authorities
sent him here.
Mr. Burris believes in modern meth
DDS of handling insane and feeble
minded cases and allows the patients
all the air and sunshine possible. Oc-
casionally one gets away, but the
trouble is far overbalanced by the
good coming from humane treatment.

man, and he selected the following to

on the coming Fourth of July, and his
remarks found a warm second in Fred

offer of $25 towards a genuine, old

passed unanimously that Lancaster
have a celebration, and the committee
on arrangements is as follows:

ing will be held tonight at the Union

will be gone into.
$50 chautauqua tickets have been
pledged said George Baxter, who urg
ed the whole-hearted support of the
business men in the matter.
The tickets sell for $500 each, for
adults and $3.50 for children. $1,100
in all is the amount guaranteed to
the Lincoln people who promise to
give Lancaster the best chautauqua
ever seen here.
A number of pledges were taken of
ten tickets each and more for five and
three tickets.
DR.. Fowler discussed the municipal
building project and said that the
idea of the city going into the theatre
cal business had been dwelt on al
most exclusively and the other advan-
tages of having an up-to-date civic
structure lost sight Of. Two years
must elapse before the bonds become
invalid, and in that time all details
and plans could be worked out before
a single bond was sold. Council
chamber, commercial club rooms,
womans club room, suitable rest
room for men and women visitors,
gymnasium and public auditorium
were some of the advantages a new
and properly constructed building
would offer.
An effort will be made to have the
next meeting coordinate with the
meeting of the Grant county editors,
which is due some time in July. At
that time the local scribes will en-
deavor to have good program worked
out for the benefit of ALL

by committee Of six will serve for
the business men in arranging their
meetings two to drop out at each
meeting and two new members to be
selected. The meeting then adjourned.

Specifically this was due to a tree
falling across the high line" in the
city of BoscObel. George Angus, Phil
Ryan and Floyd TannehiIl happened
to be in Boscobel when the break oc-
Cured, but were unable to make re-
pairs as the telephone lines were
down outside that city and they could
not notify Platteville to cut the power
off while repairs were being made.
After a drive through the storm the
repair crew reached Fennimore where
the B0scObel section was cut off. 1t
required but few moments to res
tore service completely after Boscobel
was reached again at 1 o'clock in the
morning.
The damage done at Boscobel was
considerable as huge limbs were torn
from trees all over the city. A large
pine tree in ]. J. Blaine's yard was
broken down and trees in several
other places damaged so badly that
they will have to be removed. The
tin roof on the Guernsey barber shop
was ripped off and carried down the
street.
This storm following the one five
days before at Boscobel, is likely to
make the citizens feel they are get
ting more than their share.
