NOTICE..

On account of the irregularities heretofore
practiced in the construction of septic tanks,
the Board of Health has decided to adopt a
certain plan by which all septic tanks must
be constructed.
The walls of all tanks are to be constructed
of cement brick or glazed brick and cement
mortar eight inches thick: this wall must be
plastered inside and out with cement mortar
to the intersection Of the manhole. The bot
tom is to be basin-shaped, so that the con-
tents may be easily scooped out. The Board
recommends the barrel shape for all tanks,
but do not object to the square shape pro-
vided the above plan is complied with All
cess-pools and catch basins are prohibited by
Ordinance from the opening of the City.
Every septic tank builder in Zion City
should secure copy of these specifications
and follow them out.
Many septic tanks have heretofore been
constructed with most any kind of material
in most any shape, some Of which have
leaked their contents and thus polluted the
water in some shallow wells, and it is to
avoid repetition of this evil that these speci-
fcations are adopted. All permits for cellar
drains and septic tanks are issued by the City
Clerk.
By Order of the Board of Health,
Per N. J. La Rose,
Secretary

VENEZUELAN BOYS NOW TO BE
EDUCATED IN THE UNITED STATES

1t is claimed by Preston McGoodwin,
United States Minister to Venezuela, that LOT
boys from that country now have scholar
ships in American seats of learning. Here
tofore many Of the sons of wealthy Latin
Americans have received their higher edu-
cation in German and French schools, and
few have come to this country. But the
European war and the closer commercial re-
lations of this country with the South Amer
lean Republics have brought about a change.

QUESTION Arises at Madison
In an Unusual
Way
QUESTION

After serving on the bench for
twenty years, at Madison Justice r.
D. Marshall decided Thursday that he
would take few days. vacacion. Of
course he has been allowed his summer
vacation, as the other judges, but he
has usually had so much to do that the
vacation was ostensibly never taken.
When the judge announced last week
that he would take a vacation the old
employees about the supreme court
room smiled, but doubted. When he
left this week he said he might be
gone six weeks, but the wise ones
say that he could not stay away from
work longer than tens days. Justice
Marshall went south, destination
Florida.

Cook Got
Off EaSg

Last week man by the name of
Cook, residing in the southern part of
this county took the liberty to write
and cash some checks on the Lone Rock
bank ard cash them over at Muscoda
after which he went to Colorado. At
first just after it was discovered what
Cook had done, an effort was made to
gat him arrested ard brought back for
prosecution. The first move was an at
tempt to have Richland Co authorities
begin action but it was soon realized
that the checks having been cashed in
Muscoda, it was Grant County's s affair.
Sunday Sheriff Miller received q tele-
gram from Colorado stating the author
tiles in that state had apprehended
Cook and were holding him for Wis
conein's officers and that the young
man had signified his will
ingness to come back to Wisconsin
without requisition papers. Mr..
Miller notified Mr. Brace, at Lone
Rock, cashier of the bank upon which
the checks were drawn, and was him
self informed that the matter was to
be dropped. The amount young Cook
cleaned up on the deal is said to have
been practically one hundred dollars.
