Keep 1T before the PeODle,

A proposition has been made to light the
streets for 800 less than is now paid and
that proposition has been laid upon the
table. 1t matters but little whether it was
done through the arbitrary Rulings of the
ex Mayor (Which he emphatically denies)
or to crafty the personal spite of one or
two members of hat council whose mis-
doings have been shown up The common
council cannot afford to sacrifice the public
interest and welfare for the sake of private
interest or personal revenge. Every citi-
zen, no matter how humble, has a light 10
petition or memorabilia, and the universal
practice hereto fore has been to treat the
with due respect to refer their memorials
to appropriate committees to have them
duly considered and acted upon. All we
ask is to be treated in the same manner
yourselves far more injustice than your
humble memorialists for as it now appears
rather than give it to private citizen at
half tie price now charged, you prefer to
donate $500 to a corporation whose stock
i stock holde.s who are known here and
who count their incomes by the thousands.
All we want is fair and honorable dealing.
Shall we have it? J. PRENTICE.

The Lake Mills Railroad.

The committee appointed by Lake Mills
and Milford to confer with the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company,
regarding the projected railroad between
the former place and this city, returned
Friday from their interview with the rail-
way officials at Milwaukee. While moth
ing definite was arranged, yet from the in
terchauge of sentiment between the COM
mittee and those authorized to speak for the
company, it was clear the project was not
without having received some attention
from the railway managers, and its further
consideration was taken under advisement.
The committee left with the impression that
the towns of Lake Mills and Milford need
only do what they promise To- perform to
insure the final success of the undertaking
that seems to be so much desired by those
places.

CHICAGO'S GREATNESS.
She Now Has the Largest and
Finest Millinery Establish
ment i'm the World.

The opening of the wholesale millinery and
notion establishment of Messrs. o. r. Keith
& Co., in their elegant new quarters on Wa
bash avenue, marks an era in the commercial
history of the great Northwest, and, in fact,
of America,-whose Importance can hardly be
overestimated, for it enables Chicago to
boast of having the largest, finest, and
best appointed wholesale millinery and
notion hO-se in the world ChicagO's
supremacy in other lines, such grain,
provisions, and lumber, has been acknowl-
edged for wears; but few have had the hardi-
hood to make similar claims for the Garden
City as distributing point for all the fash
ionable finerv and elegant trities that are the
outgrOWth of centuries of European luxury
This proud pre-eminence OF Chicago is. or
course, due to a great extent to her position
as the commercial centre of the Mississippi
Valley; but a still greater degree is the
result owing to the untirng energy and enter
prise of her business houses, OF which the
drm of o. r. Keith d Go. MAY be taken
as the best representative. Mr. Keith was
the senior member of the firm OF Keith
Brothers, wholesale dealers IN millinery,
bats. caps, furs, notions, and furnishing
goods, on Madison street IWenty-one years
ago lin 1859 the firm was known as keith
81 Faxon. later lin 1860 as Keith Faxon & Co.,
and since 1906 as Keith Brothers. They are
well and tagorably known not only in this
country but in all the leading markets in
Europe, where their standing is among the
very best. So rapid has been the growth OF
the business of the firm that the Madison-street
place, although one of the largest in the West,
was by far too small for the joint business. A
change was accordingly made, and, while the
other departments are carried on as usual at
the old stand by Keith Brothers, the millinery,
fancy goods, and notions departments were
taken by .. R. Keith & Co. and transferred 10

me story Ola IL smarkable Book.
MeSsrs. Houghton, Osgood & Co, of Bos-
ton, have brought out a popular edition of
The illustrated "Uncle Toms Cabin" which
was issued in so sumptuous a style during
the holidays. An entirely new edition of
this book had become a necessity, as the
old plates, from which some $50, 900 copies
had been printed had become too much
worn for further use This reprint OF 'sUn-
Gle Tom is prefaced by an Introduction
which gives singularly interesting account
of the book, it came to be, how it
was received in the world, and what has
been its history throughout all the nations
and tribes on earth, civilized and uncivil-
lied, into whose languages it has been trans
slated
lis author had many years lived in Ohio
on the confines ola Stare State, and had
THUS been made familiar with facts and oc.
currences in relation TO the institution of
A merican slavery. Some of the most bar
rowing incidents related in the story had
from time to time come to her knowledge
in conversation with former slaves now free
in Ohio. She had written letters for form
er slave woman, servant in her own family,
to a slave husband in Kentucky, who, trust
ed with unlimited liberty, free to come and
GO on business between Kentucky and Ohio,
still refused to break his pledge cfhonor to
his master, though that master from year
to year deferred the keeping of his promise
of freedom TO the slave. 1t was the simple
honor and loyalty Of this Christian black
man. who remained in slavery rather than
violate trust, that first impressed her with
the possibility OF such a character as, years
after, was delineated in Uncle Tom.
The effect of the book upon he world at
large cannot be easily described. 1t is per-.
haps best shown in the interesting Biblio-
graphy of the work by George Bullen,
keeper OF the Department Of Printed Books
in the British Museum That library has
translatons Of "Uncle Tom in twenty diff
ferent languages, viz: Armenian, Bohe-
milan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish
French, German, Hungarian or Mayer, T.
lyrian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romaic
or Modern Greek, Russian, Servan, Span
ish, Swedish, Wallachlan and Welsh. In
some of these languages, as for instance in
French and German, there were many dis
tinct versions, and there were thrty.five
different additions of the original English
and eight of abridgments and adaptations,
1t was reviewed in critical publications all
over the world, and its author received in
Vulnerable letters regarding it from people
of all lands. Yet these facts bet family in
dictate its wonderful popularity unique in
the history of literature.
This book contains about 100 illustrations
and is in every respect an excellent edition
of most remarkable story 1t is sold for
$500, and can be procured of booksellers,
or from the publishers, Houghton, Osgood
& Co., Boston.
