WHITING, Sec. ";4. When the boat turned turtle the oo- cupants succeeded in grasping the up­ turned hulk. Their shouts for help were heard by the hundreds along the shore. Mr. Peters saw the accident and hurried to the rowboat pier. With his companion, Sievers, he put out in the small craft, and deepite the heavy sea succeeded in reaching the imperiled men. The capsized sailboat was being tossed about by the waves, and the small boat was in danger of going over, as the oc­ cupants r. wed around the wreck in their efforts to get the unfortunate sail­ ors. When the rescue was completed the journey to the shore was begun. The waves had increased in violence, and with the added weight in the boat the gunwales were perilously near the water. The craft pitched and tumbled in the waves, shipping water at every dip, and it was necessary for the sur­ vivors to bail with their hats to keep the craft afloat. The water had chilled them and before reaching shore they were exhausted. Mr. Sievers then took up the task of keeping the row baa t on top of the water until the pier was reached. . Married at Spring Grov*. At the Spring Grove German Catholic church, on Wednesday morning this week, occurred the marriage of Miss Margaret Blake to Mr. William Rauen.

The several small cottages connected with the place have also been put into first-class condition, so that everyting is now in the best of shape for the opening of the season. The McHenry House is also ready for the 1906 business, more complete than ever before. The spacious hall on the second floor has been provided with cots to accommodate the large patron­ age the house usually enjoys. Joe Hei- mer, the proprietor, is ever making im­ provements about the place for the con­ venience of the guests, and summer re- sorters find this an excellent stopping place. The John J. Buch summer resort opens the season under more favorable circumstances than ever before. The most noticeable improvement about the place is the cleaning up of the river front, whioh now presents a tasty ap­ pearance. All the old buildings on the bank of the river have been removed, giving the proprietor a neat little park, which will also be very much appreci­ ated by the guests this summer. The Riverside House,"with everything new and up-to-date, extends a most cordial welcome to everyone to make this place their stopping place daring the coming season. Never before in the history of the hotel have such accom­ modations been offered the guests and the season of 1906 will undoubtedly be a record breaker. With electric lights, hot and cold water and an up-to-date dining hall, the house is now classed among the most complede in the country. Ben Stilling's Pistakee Bay resort offers its guests the same accommodat. tions as heretofore, which is always the best. This resort has during its ex­ istence made a reputation for itself which is hard to beat. , Several sew at­ tractions will be offered the guests this season. The Oak Park summer resort, with Jos. J. Mertes again at the helm, opens up with a bright prospect for a success­ ful season. The hotel has always en­ joyed a thriving business, due to the tine treatment tendered the guests. Mr. Mertes is a most courteous gentlemen and does all in his power to make things pleasant for those stopping at his place. The Pistakee Point club, under the management of S. J. Mellin, is await­ ing the opening of the 1906 summer sea­ son with everything looking bright and refreshed. This hotel enjoys a fine pat­ ronage during the summer, of which it is most worthy. Guests always receive the best of everyting while here and no one ever leaves the place disappointed. ANNUAL FIELD MEET. To Take Plae« at Fair Grounds, •took, Saturday, June 0.

A A Poem About Lynching. - It may have required some daring on the part of McClure's Magazine to pub­ lish "Timed to on African Chant" by Rosalie M. Jonas, but its daring is pret­ ty likely to be justified. This poem with its strange, haunting rhythm pre­ sents a problem on which most prose writers would have written a volume. Of course the problem is with us and why not recognise that fact. McClure's apparently thinks we ought to and Mc­ Clure's is probably right. Alumni Special Meetlnf.
