COUNTY BRIDGES
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OPEN
BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
TWELVE BRIDGES.

To consider the bids that had
been received for the construction of
one steel and ten concrete bridges in
the country and for the erection of
a modern, concrete bridge across the
creek on upper Egan avenue, the
board of county commissioners met
this afternoon.
As the cost of building the Egan
avenue bridge is to be shared
equally by the city the county, the
members of the city commission, in
Guiding Mayor George II. Waskey
and Commissioners T. A. and J.. A.
Johnson, presented themselves at the
courthouse this afternoon, when the
county commissioners opened the
bids. But the city law makers did
not get in on the bid opening. In
stead, the county commissioners de-
cided to first take the matter under
their own advisement, and they so
informed the members of the city
commission.
1t was expected that the bridge on
Egan avenue. tentative plans for
which have been drawn, would cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000.

SON DYING
FATHER ARRESTED FOR DRIV.
ING CAR WHILE IN
TOXICATED.

Bancroft, June Samuel Ry-
land, a we'll known farmer of this
vicinity, has been arrested on the
charge of running an automobile
while intoxicated, which is a crime
under the state law.
His arrest is a sequel to an acct
dent a few days ago which may re-
suit in the death of his 8-year-old
son. He was returning home with
his three children, and while turning
a corner in the highway at a rate es-
timated by witnesses at from forty
to fifty miles an hour, the machine
went into the ditch and turned tur-
tie. Ryland escaped injury, as did
two Of the three children, but the
little boy was pinned under the car.
The base of his skull was frac-
tured, one eye is reported to have
been destroyed, one cheek bone was
crushed in, and his difficult breath
ing indicates that his chest was in
jured. Physicians do not hold out
much hope for the recovery of the
boy.
1t is charged Ryland had been
drinking heavily and was intoxicated
at the time of the accident.

II. Mckee, who died in Dell Rapids
several years ago. Fred has become
as proficient with the drum as the
old major was and to the old timers
of Dell Rapids, his drumming will
seem like a voice from Maj. Mckee.

DRESS NOT NEEDED
SOLDIER APPLICANT WITH TAT
TOOED SEPTEMBER MORN.

Aberdeen, June 6.-The beautiful
portrait of September Morn" tat
tooed on the right arm of Leo j.
Nievero, of Chicago. applicant for
enlistment, is still uncovered. Re-
cruiting Officer Morkowski, reading
the rules about offensive t|attooing
with a virtuous eye. sent him out
yesterday to get a dress tattooed on
the Nievero found some
mar with tattooing instruments, but
the dread deed had not yet been COM
mitted when Lieut.. s. II. Campbell
appeared on n of his trips of in
spection.
Campbell gazed long and critically
al the offending arm. He gazed crit
ically because he is a superior Off
Ger. He gazed long because he is a
bachelor.
II don't think the rules apply
he finally said. The idea of tat
tooing a dress on Sep is like con-
demning a violet to forever blush un-
seem; 1t is also like putting pants on
the piano legs; it is Unnecessary If
the art critics can stand it | guess
the boys in the army can. Let
'er go"
And so Nievere leaves tonight for
the st. Louis barracks bearing a hap
by heart, credential papers and a
purple picture of September Morn in
all her pristine glory.

GOOD ROADS DAY
ASSISTANT FOREMEN GET IN
TOUCH WITH FOREMEN-
MANY RESPONSES
ARE EXPECTED.

With a single day intervening,
men behind the project TO improve
the t~hirty-four miles of Meridian
road within Lake county, on good
roads day, June s, express hopes
that every person who possibly can,
will turn out to do his share of work.
Both farmers and residents of Madi-
son appear to have entered thorough
ly into the spirit of the occasion.
The final squirt to arrange for work
ers and for implements with which
to do the work is being made by
foremen and assistant foreman.
While no agreement has been en-
tered into by storekeepers to close
their places of business, merchants
and professional men who have been
appointed assistant foremen are
making full preparations to get onto
their respective miles of the road as
early as possible next Thursday
morning.
Present indications are that some
of the workers will take dinner at
farmhouses. while many who live in
Madison, will return by automobile
to the city for their MONDAY meal.
1t is probable that a few picnic din
ners will be served. A number of
automobiles, with which to convey
workers to and from the various
places at which they will be engaged
have been put at the disposal of the
foremen and assistant former.
1t is requested that the assistant
foremen who have not already ascer-
tanned from their respective foremen
the kind and number of tools re-
quired, do so at once, so that the
necessary implements may be assem-
bled tomorrow.
Those promoting the project point
out that the Meridian road is one of
the main arteries of travel TO the
city, and that the improving of the
highway will be the means of divert
ing to the city much of the travel
which now goes to surrounding
towns.

London.-Admiral Jellicoe, com
mander of the British general fleet,
has reported to the admiralty that

Change in SERVICE
WATERMORkS IMPROVEMENTS
WILL INSURE CONVENIENCE
TO START ON EXTENSION.

1t will not be necessary in future
to shut off water in all parts of the
city when an accident ccurs or a
change is made in any given part of
the system.
Under the direction of City Engi-
neer C. A. Trimmer, all valves along
the various lines of water mains are
being dug up, and either put in
working order or replaced by new
valves. 1t has been some twelve
years since the valves have been in
working order, it is said, and since
that time it has been necessary,
when making repairs, TO shut off the
water service throughout the city
and drain the entire system, includ-
ing the standpipe. Most of the
valves were found to be thick with
rust. All but two, however, have
been put in working order, and new
valves will replace the one that have
been rendered useless. A new auto
matte valve is being installed at the
standpipe. When the work has been
completed, it will be necessary to
shut off only a small section of the
water service to make repairs at a
given point. 1t will also mark the
reducing of fire hazard in the city,
it is pointed out.
Digging of trenches for the addi-
tional water service to be installed
will be commenced tomorrow, it is
expected, by Joseph WEIGH, who has
the contract for the work.

FUR FARMING
Skunk Farm Is Latest Enterprise
Near Miller.

Miller, June "a skunk farm, a
half mile south of town, is the latest
industry here. John Coke is the
proprietor. The farm is fenced off
with woven wire, which is sunk in
the ground a foot. Dens are dug in
the ground, where the old skunks
care for their young. The little ones
can be handled like kittens by their
caretaker without danger, while the
old ones become tame and can be
handled, If arc and kindness are
shown them. The owner of the new
thing hat will bring him a lot of
money, as the little fur bearing an
imals are very prolific and the price
of furs is high.

tagious disease, and on every sue

aiming of all canvassers by the city

ing of the city commission. The eX-
animation fee on the first day shall

posed regulation provides. Once the

~tificate, he is required to apply to
the city clerk for a p%eddler's license,

is said that ordinances similar to the
one TO be put into erect mere nave
worked successfully in a number OF
cities in Kansas.
Resolutions to pave the alley in
block 16, between Fourth and Fifth
