LOGS AND LUMBER.
Eau Claire,
July 12.—The lumbermen have made no efforts to secure any of the
hung-up logs on the present rise, but are seemingly satisfied with the
starting of millions of feet that were grounded between the Beef slough
works and the sources of the rivers. On Popple river, O'Neill's creek
and other tributaries of the Black river crews are at work cleaning out
the logs left behind, and their efforts, it is said, will be attended
with
success. The
water in the Chippewa and Eau Claire is going down rapidly, and in a
couple of days will be at their lowest stage again. , [Wisconsin State

RETURNS TO
CIVIL LIFE
Capt. William
O. Seeman, late of Fort Riley, Kansas, returned on
Saturday to Eau Claire and has again taken up his duties as a civilian
physician. Fort Riley has been looked upon as the great training
camp for the medical officers, and it was "the great life" for those
who could stand it, the medics being put through nearly as strenuous a
drill schedule and as severe marches as were the enlisted soldiers
themselves. Capt. Seeman looks well tanned and appears to have
lost any superflous besh he may have had in the days of old.
