Ehe Ohio temperance law has op-
Grated 50 favorably towards provj-
ding against the evils resulting from
the sale OF Intoxicated liquors that a
member Of the Western States are
lkely to adopt it. Already has the
Illinois legislation enacted prohibl-
tory law, copied mainly from the
ONO statute. Wisconsin and Min
nesota follow. The other day AS
semblyman Graham of Rock county
introduced q bill in the legislature,
the main features Of which are COP.
led from the Ohio prohibitory law.
The bill will doubtless receive the
sanction of our legislation and be.

Grant and Crawford Bridge Tolls.

4 meeting to take into considera-
ton the wisdom Of reducing the tolls
on the Grant and Crawford County
Bridge, is held at Patch Grove to-.
day. The letters of Mr.. Lawler, Of
Prairie du CHEN, relating to this i'm
portant subject were sent US for
publication in the HERALD, but came
TO hand too late to appear in our
columns last week. Mr.. LAWYERS
propositions to the committee by
whom the afore said meeting was
called, are substantially as follows:
/" Let three competent, disinterested men
be selected who shall consider the cost of the
bridge; the depreciation Of the property the
cost Of maintenance revenue; the per cent
realized on the investment, together with all
meters that should be properly taken into ac-
count, ard should they find that the present
tolls are too high, will consent TO such a re-
duction as win bring the revenue Of the
bridge within reasonable interest on the
amount invested: but, on the other hand.
should the present tolls be found to fall below
such q per centage, the tolls, in that case,
shall be increased sufficient 70 yield such in
terest.
Should this proposition be accepted, the
books that relate to the bridge will be open
10 the gentlemen Of the committee. Or will
dispose Of my interest in the bridge at reas-
enable price 10 any gentleman or association
OF gentlemen who may wish to purchase"
And again
fthe people Of Grant County, or any one
in their behalf, will assume the risk and main
tenance Of the bridge in accordance with its
charter, and pay me al the rate OF ten per
cent per annum on It's cost, | will let them
or their representatives. regulate the tolls ac-
cording To their wishes. These propositions
are made in earnest, and hope they will
receive busineSs-like consideration"

Congressional Districts.

Now that the Congr essional APP
portionment bill has passed the
House, and will probably soon be-
come law. our big state papers are
giving their opinion or choice as to
how Wisconsin shall be divided into
eight Congressional Districts. The
Milwaukee Sentinel publishes two
maps showing different formations
OF the districts. The division which
the Sentinel hopes, but hardly ex-
pects, to eee carried out, is as fol-
lows:
FIRST DIsTRIeT Population 1872 1927 -
Grant, Iowa, Richland, Sank, Crawford, and
Vernon.
SECOND (Pop. 1873, 76l)- Dane, Rock,
Green, and Lafayette.
THIRD (PoP. 1913 ,245)--Walworth, Racine,
kenosha, Waukesha and Jefferson.
FOURTH (Pop. 1879 ,459) - Milwaukee,
Washington and Ozaukee.
FIFTH (Pop. l35,244)-Fond du Lac, Col.
umbus, Dodge and Green Lake.
SIXTH Pop. l29.650) --Sheboygan Manit-
owoc, Calumet ana Winnebago
SEVENTH (Pop. 1873 313 - Marathon, Ocon
10, ShaWano, Brown, Door. Outagamie, Wau-
paea, Waushara. Portage, Wood, Adams, Ju-
mean ana Marquette.
EIGHTH (Pop l30,2l9)--La Crosse, Mon.
roe, Jackson, TrempeIeau, Buffalo, Pepin
Esu Claire, Clark, Dunn, st. Croix, Polk
barron, Chippewa, Burnett, Douglas, ASH.
land and Bayfield,.
This would give the State seven
Republican districts, the fourth be-
ing Democratic, of course. The Fifth
would be a close district, giving only
about 1900 Republican majority at
the last Presidential election.
Bnt the plan that will doubtless
knock the Sentinel map, according
10 the editors fears, is the following;
First District (Pop. 1873, l63)--Rock, Wal
worth, Kenosha, Racine and WauResha.
Second (Pop 1873, diane, Sank, JEFF
iersen aud Columbus.
Third (Pop. l37,i59)--Graut, Lafay cite,
Iowa, Richland, Crawford and Green.
Fourth (Pop, 1919 Al5)--Milwaukee, Ozau-
kee and Washington.

Lac, Sheboygan and Msntowoc.
Sixth '(Pop. ll9,54D = Adams, juneau,

Seventh (Pop. 1870, 943) --Vernon, Monroe

Eighth (Pop. l05 7S6)--Door, Kewsunee
Brown, Oconto, Shawano, Waupaca, Port.
age, Wood, Marathon, Clark, Chippewa
Barron. Polk, Burnett, Douglas, Bayfield,
Ashland.
This would give a Democratic ma.
jority il the fourth aud fifth district:
aud chance Tor 0 lively light in tbs
second district
The only change that takes place il
this Congressional District Is The re
moval OF Sank. We think this ar
rangement will be far more accept
able TO tie counties OF this district
than the other division, which drops
Lafayette and Green and takes from
another district the county OF Yer
non.

Chicago, its Past, Present and Flu
ture.

The Chicago Tribune 10 noticing
the forthcoming work under the
above title, says:
''We notice the above as the title of work
soon to be publihed by the Union Publishing
Company, edited by James w. Sheahan and
George 2. Upton, of the Tribune, the former
known for the last twenty years as an accom-
plished journalist and the latter familiar in
both the city and country as the literary edit
or of the Tribune, and author of the Peregrine
Pickle Letters. From the interest displayed
by our most prominent men in this volume
over all others, it will not be personal mat
ter, but volume Chicago win send forth IL
Illustrative of its past, present and futurs
greatness"
BY the aid of Sheahan e. Upton's
book, just issued, one can sit at the
fireside, and form "a correct picture
of the confagration, its terrible Incl
dents, and everything of interest
connected with this most marvellous
of cities. This is book different
from all others, Astounding in facts,
happily related. George p. Upton,
better known to many as Peregrine
Pickle. is sure of an audience where
ever his name is announced. His
pen is always lively, vivacious, and
graphic. His sparkling letters, which
for some time have regularly appear
ed in the Tribune, are always read
with delight. The work will not
abound in dry statistics, but in Incl
dents and personal observations, with
enough of the history of Chicago and
the other great fires, TO make it val.
liable and attractive.
We understand that in the twenty
days preceding its publication that
over 10000 copies were sold, 5000
being sold in Chicago alone, which
speaks a world of strength for its
authors and publishers.
Inferior histories are being circu.
lated. See that the book you buy is
full size octave, six by nine inches,
with forty-five illustrations and COM
plete map of the city, and diagram
showing the situation of the most
prominent buildings burned, with

cover of the book of the City Hall as
it appeared in flames October 9th.
