Cooney Kellner has some 7 and 7% inch ice in his pond now and he bal expected to cut some today, but the modified weather prevented him. There is a little, mist in the air today and thje air is warm enough, Cooney thinks, to soften the ice if it was eui and do it great damage, so he will bide his time and probably get better ice later on. Miss Leathe Wright departed this morning for Raton, N. Mex., where her sister, Mary, has been teaching school as a substitute for her during her prolonged convalescence from the operation that was performed early last fall. Miss Leathe is still far from well, but her improvement has been very satisfactory and the New Mexico climate Will doubtless do her much good. Miss Mary will return north and re-enter Wisconsin university. Mrs. G. W.
