of sleeping under blankets, and strange
to say, we thought il colder than the
natives, who pronounced the change
delightful
NJ. A. W. Smith. who visited in VII
roqua last summer, called on us last
Tuesday. He seemed to enjoy the sol
der dinnsr and gave several of the
t -ys ride through the city.
A few of the new field kitchens are
being delivered. They prepare the
meal for $50 men, while enronte, and
win certainly prove great help on
the hikes if found practical. They
REQUIRE only one team of mules to
move them over ordinary roads
All our boys are preparing for the
long march, and although ii will be
hard task, it win also be an experience
which we expect to look back over
with many interesting details, If not
many pleasures.
Our baud had many engagements
in the city and PARIS, but has been
restricted by a new law prohibiting
army bands from playing any engage
ments that conflict with local union
banis.

These Wisconsin soldiers are de-

Last Saturday and Sunday nights
excellent band concerts were render
ed on the Plaza pavilion by the 3rd
Wisconsin regimental band Of 81 mu-
sicians. Large crowds gathered on
the plaza both nights, and the enthu-
siastic applause accorded after almost
every piece proved that the perform
ances were highly appreciate by the
hearers. BY those who are able to
Judge, these concerts were pronounced
among the best ever heard in our town.
Their leader, Prof. o. G. Brown is
most proficient director of a band of
able musicians. Sunday night the
crowds at the plaza were estim ated at

and men, old and young, civilians and
soldiers, crowded on and around the
square, presented a beautiful sight
indeed.

Bitten By A Rattle Snake.

County Aunitor G.. w. Kerlin rode
out from White River to the Happy
Hollow Sunday School last Sunday
afternoon. with George Schanbacher
and in the evening he and his deputy
Homer Gillespie started to walk back
to White River, following the trail to
where it crossed dam and made a
circle to the south, where they left
the trail and crossed the ravine below
the dam following an old COW path
that had grown up to weeds. Mr..
Gillespie was in the lead few PAGES
and he evidently reused the snake,
which coiled and struck Mr.. Kerlin on
the left ankle just above the shoe top.
Mr.. Kerlin had stepped on the snake
and he said it ratified and struck at
the same moment. Mr.. Kerin lost
no time in rolling up his pant leg and
pulling down his sock, took his pen
knife and cut in and around the wound
Sauoing it to bleed freely, and Mr..
Gillespie took off one of his shoe
strings and tied it tightly about the
ankle several inches above the bite.
Mr.. Gillespie then killed the snake
with one of his shoes, and leaving his
plug of tobacco with Mr.. Kerlin, he
started on the run for White River in
in search of assistance. This all hap
peped about S:l5. After going lit
tie 'ver a mile, Mr.. Gillespie met
Ernest Mclean and wife, in an auto,
who drove to where Mr.. Kerlin was
and he was loaded in the auto and
taken to White River where he was
under the care of doctor by 9:l5.
Mr.. Kerlin is laid up in bed with a
badly blistered leg and will not be
able to be out for several days, but
he is getting along as we'll as could
be expected, and no serious results
are anticipated on account of the
snake bite. Charley says the remedy
was more severe than the bite. His
many friends hope for his early and
complete recovery.

A Bad Storm.

Tuesday afternoon about four o.
clock We Wc-c visited by heavy rain,
the heaviest of the month. The cloud
came from the south west and it rain
ed very hard for nearly an hour. The
precipitation at Wood measured 81
of an inch. The storm was accomp.
auied by considerable hail here, and
one of the large front windows at the
hotel was broken by hail stones.
This is all the damage we have heard
of in Wood. However we hear that
considerable damage was done at the
Indian hay camp couple of miles
east of town, and Will Mckee who
was camped at Oak Creek about IL
miles north east of Wood, where he is
building a bridge, suffered the loss of
his camp wagon. The wind lifted the
house which was 10 x~l6, off the wa
gon and made complete wreck of
the house and contents. He and his
family, Miles Leedum and Boyd O.
Bryan were in the house at the time,
but all escaped uuinjured with the ex
ception of Mrs. Mckee who was con
siderably bruised about the right
shoulder, and Miss Minnie Mckee
who sustained some painful bruises
on her leg, and little Pearl was brus
ed slightly on the left arm. One of
the horses was blow into the creek.
The storm was much more severe in
that section than it was in the vicinity
of Wood. The rainfall was much
heavier and the wind was stronger
but there was no hail. Mr.. Mckee
told us that the wind twisted of limbs
OF trees and did other damage. He
reports practically all of County Com
missioner Langleys cutbuildings top
pied over. 1t was without doubt one
OF the severest storms that has visited
this county. this season. 1.-The .mois
ture was much needed, aud it fresh
ened up everything and cooled OF the
temperature for the present at least.

ships in foreign trade and 5,9l4 in
coastwise traffic. Unlike other great
commercial cities, New York is also
the greatest manufacturing city.
Within it's limits are 27,2S3 factories
and shops engaged in 297 lines of
manufacture, representing an invest
ment of 81, 529, ,9t6,4S7, sum nearly
half the total of the money in circu-
lation in the United States.
One of the striking features of this,
the largest city in the world. is It's
greatness-the congested conditions
Of traffic. There are the subways,
the elevated and the surface cars
running along the same streets, and
vast army is busy building more
subways in an endeavor to try and
relieve the congestion if possible.
We were never in large city where
more streets were torn up than in
New York City. Another thing that
impressed us was its seemingly large
Jewish population: 1t is said that
there are more Jews in New York
City than there are i'm Jerusalem
New York City is also noted for it's
beautiful women. and we believe they
can make good on this boast over any
other city that we have ever visited.
The citys manifold attractions are
scattered over its vast area and the
visitor whose time is limited cannot
possibly see more than Small por-
tion of them.
On the way from Washington to
Chicago we passed through the
Allegheny mountains and saw some
stretches of very nice scenery, and
great manufacturing centers. We
noticed the glow of miles and miles
of coke ovens, from the car windows,
that were burning brightly. When
we awoke in the morning we were
travelling through Ohio, and there we
saw some very nice farms as also in
Indiana, and crops looked well. In
places the ground seemed to he too
wet and In other places harvesting of
small grain was on in full sway. We
did not stay long in Chicago, but
while there visited the White City.
This is quite an amusement place:
All the large manufacturing estab-
lishments seemed to be running to
capacity. This was especially true of
Gary, Indiana, which is a great fac
tory city.
Crops in Iowa looked good and the
farms there were larger and looked
mighty good to us. Corn is about the
same as here, perhaps a little more
advanced than here but not much.
Nebraka seemed to have the best
looking corn, while the Rosebud
country in South Dakota could show
up as good corn fields and as fine small
grain as we saw anywhere in our
travels.
We arrived in Omaha on the 3rd
and spent three very pleasant days in
that city with County Auditor G. w
Kerlin and John Glatfelter, who is
employed there. John is getting
along nicely, has plenty of work at
good wages, and is looking well. We
visited number of places of interest
at Omaha, and noted that there is
building going on there.
We arrived home Friday, July T.,
and we can assure you that Mellette
county looked mighty good to us after
a three weeks absence in the effete
east. We trust we have not tired
you with this write up, as it really !
was longer than we had intended
it to be.
