Now that the city authorities have paved West Martin street to the new Union Depot, it would ba a big im provement to pave the sidewalk on the south side of NRsh square The red clay soil is bad there and if tome- thing is not done, it will give Strang ere a bad impression of our beautiful city. A Little Gravel Needed. While we are having nice sunshine weather, if street commi sioner Blake would put sand and gravel on the walks of Moore square, it would imi prove the walks wonderfully. During the bad spell of weather just passed, it was simply impassible to pass along the walks through this square, if a person just managed to get through, he did it by walkiog out side of the walks on the grass. It would cost very little to fix it up. WATERWORKS PIPE LAYING In Lincoln, Nebraska, where new water works have been introduced, they resort to a new method of dig gipg trendies without breaking the sur ace for laying the pipes. It is to dig a trench from the main to the sidewalk &ud then a hole is bored un derneath the lawn with the service pipe itself which is connected to a fire plug by means of a hose. The pipe is pushed into the ground and the et of water bores a hole in advance. When one section ha been pushed as far as it will go, another is screwed on and tne process repeated. By this means a pipe can be carried 75 or 80 feet underground without a trench and two men can often make three or four connections in a single day. Si Plunkard." J. C.

The most remarkable and, at first, seem ingly unaccountable stupor and sleep of Miss Carrie Hoffman, of this vil lage, is peculiarly ei planned. She lay in a comatose condition at Superin tendent Anderson's home from Tues day evening until Thursday, and then only partially regained con sciousness. Miss Hoffman states, since the res toration of her mind and memory, that she was on Tuesday evening struck on the back of the head, at the base of the brain, by a sno v ball, thrown by some urchin. It hurt her but little at first, but before she got home stars danced before her eyes, and she was soon in a trance. She is probably suffering from concussion of the brain.
