M. M. Riley, the leading spirit of the prohibition party in Wisconsin for many years, and a candidate for mayor of Mlwaukee on that ticket, was Thursday sentenced to sixty days in the house of correction in that city on a charge of being a common drunkard.

Theodore Roosevelt is to be away from this country for a year. A report was in circulation in New York city Thursday that when he finishes his visit to South America he will go to Australia and that the twa trips will take up the better part of a year. It was reported also that when the colonel gets back he will retire as contributing editor of The Outlook.

The trip planned by Mr. and Mrs. Levi Clouse and on which they expected to start Thursday, was abandoned owing to the sudden sickness of Mrs. Clouse, who is still unable to leave her bed. They had planned to start on the early train Thursday morning for Omaha, Neb., and had their trunk packed and at the depot. At about 6 o’clock Wednesday evening Mrs. Clouse took very sick with indigestion and was compelled to go to bed. A physician was called and found her condition such that she could not make the trip. She is only slightly improved at this time. It is hoped that the trip may be taken at a later date.

Frank Haskell and Dr. A. G. Catt have a very convenient and secure clothesline, occupying a minimum of space and not having the objectlonal features of being in the way. The line or rather lines are erected on the line between their residence properties. Heavy gaspipe posts are set in cement to make them solid. Gaspipe of smaller dimensions are used for arms and four wires are stretched from one arm to the other, and as the posts are 50 feet apart, they have 200 feet of clothesline in a 50-foot space, the lines being about 2 feet apart. The posts and crossarms have been painted, thus completing about the best clothesline we have ever seen.

J. J. Montgomery Is making rapid progress with the building of his new bungalow and it is almost ready for.the Kelleston, which will probably be put on next week. Kelleatone resembles cement in appearance but will not crack like cement and is elastic to a certain extent. It is mixed with oil when applied. The oil has arrived here and the kellestone is expected the first of the week. It will be the first house of the kind ever erected here and will doubtless create considerable interest, as it is proving very popular where used. The bungalow type of houses is apt to be adopted by several who contemplate building next year, including W. L Frye, who -will probably build a new home facing Division street on the same lot his bus barn is on.

To prolong the life of George W. Nunley, a confederate veteran, reported dying in jail at Paducah, Ky., President Wilson commuted sentence Thursday to expire at once the prisoner’s one-year sentence for making a false claim for a pension as a Union soldier. ▲ Classified Adv. will sell It "»'■■■ i ■ i '■■■ «4aa —ts —hi
