ed to suit the individual. We take it
moderately cold, however. This or
the Plunge, is at the option of the
bather. Inddlging in the extremely
cold Plunges seemed to be too much
for cur imagination after the hot room.
Not unlike the idea of transporting a
EIottentot to the Frigid Zone and
examining him with ice.
Next we 90 the Tcweling Room, and
finally complete the circuit in the cool
ing room. Now comes felicity, pure
and unadulterated. "OlI EDjoyabil-
ty'' is personiGed as we gently recline
on a sofa, feeling every inch new
man. TO say we feel refreshed would
be tame expression, conveying no
adequate conception Of our newness.
We feel as wealthy as Vanderbilt, as
generous as Howard, as strong as Sam
son, wise as Solomon, pure as gold,
and as elastic as youths fair primo.
Among the many institutions Of
the kind in the state none stands high
er in the estimation of the public than
that Of Messrs. NICnoLs 4 SHU TER,
Of Sparta. Connected as it is with a
first class hotel-the Werner House,
situated in one Of the most pleasant
cities in the state, with courteous at
PENDANTS and experienced managers, it
is becoming an institution of national
repute Most Of our older residents
are acquitted with Mr.. Shutter, once a
member Of the firm Of Shutter, McIn-
doe & Taylor, then prominent lumber
firm at Wsusau. He is the same
courteous, polished gentleman, and he,
together with DR.. Nichols are building
up an institution Of which our State
may we'll be proud.

Turkish Baths.

Probably all Of our readers have
heard of, and very many have exper-
fenced the delicious and curative effects
of the Turkish Baths that are now so
popular, and deservedly so, through
out the country. For those who are
rot acquainted with the details of an
establishment Of this kind and the
method of giving Of these baths, we
insert the following from the pen Of
the correspondent Of the Juneau
County Argus:
Having gone through the mill, oc-
cssionally, to divorce myself from
colds, [ will give you brief "pict-
ure" Of our experience, for the benefit
of such of your readers as have not
enjoyed the varied sensations Of the
Bath. Properly it consists of FIVE
rooms.
1st Tepidarium, or warm room,
average temperature 140o and $50 > &.
% Calidarium, or not room, av.
temp 1905 to 100.
Sd. Lavatorium, or shampooing
room, av temp. 40 ..
4th Toweliny room.
9Th. Cooling room, az. temp.
6Oo.
| Entering the office Of Nichols &
Shutter, we politely SIGN our autograph,
and from one of the many private
rooms soon emerge disrobed, ready for
the conflict. First we encounter the
Tepid here the thermometer in
dicates 1909 and we begin to feel all
over in spots. Positive Hot. Com
parative-Hotter. Indeed, as we pace
the floor, feel he reflected heat on our
cuticle and breathe the intensely heat
ed air, we whisper in thunder tones :
"Tell US, We whited walls, ye burning
echoes, is this scene but type of the
great Hereafter. Shall we weep and
gnash and roar?" Echo answered,
Neyermore. But, anon the perspira-
ton starts profusely, the oppressive
sensations vanish, the accumulated i'm
nurities cxude from the pores, and we
feel very thankful that we did not
swallow that blue Pip to dissipate
our billiousness or squills to Danish
that cold. One half hours experience
in the Tepidarium prepares for the
| Calidarium, SO we sip cup OF miner
al water, and branch out, Ugh Su-
perlative- Hottest. Old Thermy in
dicates 100 deg, but we know thing
or two now and do not overrate the
effects of heat, and while we,prespire
MUCHLY, We mentally reflect how easy
it was for the Biblical trio, Shadrach,
Mcshach and Abednego to live In the
midst of the fiery furnace, and what
ninny old Nebuchadnezzar was not to
test the thing himself. We are SC
gulible on this subject now, that the
story of the Fire King entering an
oven and cooking his grub while there
does not startle US in the least A
fifteen minutes stay in this room suf-
fees, so, we take the next step into
the Lavatorium. Here, with the Their
mometer Indicating 10 ., we are
stretched on a marble slab, while a
colored gentleman dues us up brown,
We are soaped, scrubbed and rubbed
until we are assured that, with the as
sistance Of microscope, a speck OF
dirt could not be detected on Us a.
large as a mustard seed. Proceeding
to the DoUCHE. we are showered with
water, which is generally temper,

FRAUDS.

The frauds in elections must be stop
ped in some way, if we would perpetuate
Republic-and continue a government
of the people One thing is notable, that
not single rural precinct in the great
West is tainted with the charge or sus-
picion of fraud, and in all the North not
a single charge of this kind has been
made against the Republican party. 1t
the bone and sinew, the great strength of
the country, the voters of such States as
Iowa, are to be counted out in National
contests, by frauds in the lowest and
vilest wards of New York city, flor the
decent wards there, mostly go Republi-
cam and by the White-liners and Kukluk
of the South, against the honest and fair
vote of those sections, then it is time to
bid farewell to Republic, and set up
something else; for Republic has about
run it's day when the decent part OF its
population have nothing to say In Its
government, but whose destinies are con-
trolIed and governed by the frauds per
petrated by John Morrissey and kindred
characters, to save the money at stake in
their gambling hells. Certainly there is
some way to get fair vote, and out of
the assembled wisdom of the nation in
Congress, plans should be devised to &C
complish this end, even if company of
troops shall have to be stationed at ever Y
voting precinct in the land. A fair ote
is all we want, aud that we must have.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Congress organized Monday, Clerk
Adams calling the House to order; when
it proceeded to election of Speaker. The
vote stood, Randall 161, Garfield 80
scattering 3. The House then by a vote
of l42 to SO, refused to allow Bedford
newly elected Congressman from COlora
do to take his seat. The object of this
by the Democrats, being to raise the
point that Colorado is not State, hence
not entitled to an electoral college. The
matter was referred to the Judiciary com
mittee.
A committee was also appointed to in
yestigats the action of the returning
Board in South Carolina, and similar
committees will be appointed for Louis
lana and Florida. The committee APP
pointed consists of Sayler, Abbott, Stem
ger, Eden, Jones. Ky.), Phillips, Mo-
Banks, Lapham and Lawrence. IF they
make an honest return of the devilmen
they find, there will be no Democratic
capital in it.

LOUISIANA.

Louisiana has always been a great
State for election frauds, and from this
the Democracy have generally had the
cream, and this year is no exception.
Horace Greeley tells in his work how the
Democracy carried the State by fraud in
1914, defeating Clay, by sending boat
loaes of repeaters to the parish of Pla-
quemine, where Democratic vote of less
than 100 was swelled to over 1000, and
the State thus carried by 700 majority.
There is no doubt that on a fair vote the
Republicans have 10000 majority, yet
the prospect is that we get it only by the
skin Of our teeth. Democracy long ago
virtually gave it up, and have been busy
manufacturing capital against the return
ing board, so they will have some excuse
to cry fraud when the time comes. One
law of Louisiana requires the board to
throw out all the votes of any parish Tor
county, where there is undoubted evi-
dence of intimidaio ion Of fraud; this law
the Democrats are now crying about, and
yet it was passed for their o,0n benefit,
and at their request, few years ago,
when there were u. S. troops in the
State, and when they claimed said troops
their voters from coming out;
that said troops were stationed at the
polls to prevent Democrats from voting.
This year the shoe pinches their big toe,
because they have used intimidation in
nearly every parish they carried, and they
cannot afford to lose any votes, for even
counting them in, Hayes has probably
carried the State, and throwing them out,
breaks their slate badly. The articles on
FIRST page of this paper show some of
the means used by Democracy to carry
what is known as the "bull-dozed" coun-
ties. IF the returning boards of the
contested States give the votes to Hayes,
he will be Inaugural ted, never fear.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-12-07

There appears to be misunderstood.
ing about the vote of South Carolina.
The vote as returned, including the
fraudulent votes from the counties of
Laurens and Edgefeld, gave Hayes and
Chamberlain, fair majority; but the
fraud was so transparent on the count
for the Legislature, that they were thrown
out by the board. The vote on the cleo
tors and governor was counted as ordered
by the Supreme Court; but no order was
issued by that court governing the legis-
tive count, until the board had adjourned.
We do not believe the court had right
to say word on the matter, and think
the board should not have paid any atten-
ton to them. In 1872, Judge Durell,
in Louisiana, gave similar order, favor
ing the Republicans, and half the Demo
Gratis are yet hoarse from the bowls they
then gave over the matter, and now they
are crying because they cannot get South
Carolina given them by a corrupt and
partisan judge.
