Friday evening April 9th in honor of
their guest Miss Kate Beveridge, of

The citizens of Centralia as we'll as the
editors of the Enterprise will find that
Grand Rapids is not mellow on the
ferry business, even though the pub
fishers of that paper think we are.
Perhaps they will sing another tune
before they get over this ferry matter.
Centralia nor any Of her citizens can
monopolize the entire traffic of both
cities and have their own way in this
matter. Time will tell whether we have
a free ferry or not. We do not court
war, but we will have justice if we have
to fight for it

Henry Kuntz, Mayor.

The vacancy in the office Of Mayor,
caused by Mr.. J. D. Witter not qualify
ing was filled by special election on
Tuesday last, by the election of Henry
Kuntz as mayor. There being no OPP
position to his candidacy only about
one hundred votes were cast. We have

GLOW many Milwaukee people are
there, [ wonder, who know that the
inventor of St. Jacobs Oil was once a
resident of Milwaukee?' said Dr. NJ p
Hanson, who, by the way, is the author
of several useful medicines. Continu-
ing he said: "It was between thirty
and forty years ago that young man
named Vogeler was clerk in a drugstore
up near the old La Crosse depot. His
wages were small but he pieced them
out by getting the consent of the pro-
prietor to manufacture medicine
which he sold on the streets and in
public places, evenings. This medicine
was the foundation and contained, it is
believed, all, or nearly all, of the prop
critics used to-day in st. Jacobs Oil, a
medicine that has q worldwide reputa-
ton and millions of dollars worth of
which has been sold in this and other
countries. Young Vogeler went from
here to Philadelphia where a man of
means joined him and the medicine was
extensively put upon the market.
Afterwards he established the great
house in Baltimore. This house has
often spent half a million dollars year
in advertising. If one enterprising citi-
zen Of Milwaukee had listened to young
Vogeler's story thirty-fve years ago
and given him helping hand, that
Vogeler company, which has taken
many millions Of dollars into Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, would have done
for Milwaukee what it has done for
those cities.-Sunday Telegraph.

THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

The publications issued under the auspices
of the "Citizens Association" have attracted
attention TO San Antonio to an unprecedented
degree. Especially has its merits as resort
for the health.seeker and winter tourist been
brought to the front very prominently. The
distribution of these publications has been
widespread, and, as a consequence, this city
had an unusually large number of visitors
and prospective investors last winter. There
are indications that the ensuing winter will
bring us crowds of desirable people. Inc
Citizens Association feel encouraged by the
results thus far accomplished, and do not pur-
pose allowing the good work to cease; e. Ona ier

taken to make the work suggestive and COM

Emma Abbott,s Early Pluck.

The early bird" does not always catch

Emma Abbott lived in the backwoods of
Illinois, she tried to get an appointment
to teach school. She read an advertise
ment in some paper of teacher wanted
in the next township. The town was sew
enteen miles away. and there was only
one way for brave little Emma to get
there, and that was by walking. She set
off, however, on the lonely and hazard
GUS journey, only to find when she
reached her destination that eleven other
girls had got there in advance of her
Footsore and weary she crossed the

Who is responsible for the slaughter Of
the innocents in summer? In the heart
of the city, and especially in the lower
lying wards, the wall of children through
out these hot summer nights, when even
the brick seem to palpitate with heat, is
terrible. Children in close rooms, breath
ing-overcrowdhg the same-rooms, with
no means of escape. 1t is not in the
power of the ablest physicians to save
life under these circumstances. The chill
dren are often swathed in clothes that
hasten their death. They are bound and
wrapped by ignorant mothers as though
it were midwinter. A physician might
remedy this, but how can he supply the
life giving oxygen? If he is not hardened
he can only shudder, pass on and hope
that after all there may be sound philos-
ophy, even if there is no religion, in the
doctrine of the Survival of the fttest. !"
But somebody is to blame. Is it the
poor wretches who are tempted or com
PEELED to herd together? What are city
governments for if they do not make pro-
vision for the public health? There is
much attention given to the matter of
protection from fire. Property is rated
higher than human life. Go through the
alleys. Count the doors with Grape on
them. Look at the surroundings. and. if
you never realized 1T before, you will
shudderingly admit the truth of the say
ing: "God made the country, man made
the town" The daily death roll of little
children shows mans handiwork in fear
