Wisconsin Board of Health
Report.

The report of the Wisconsin State
Board of Health has been received in
this office and we naturally turned to
the report from Grand Rapids. In the
midst of the report occurs the following
spicy news: 'I do not believe that
more than two-thirds of the cases of
contagious diseases that occur are re-
ported. There appears to be an mex
cusable indisposition to make reports
on the part, of some of the resident
physicians
Every man is entitled to what he
believes but his rights to make trades
against resident physicians in printed
publications is another thing That
this so-ealled health officer who signs
his name to the above quotation is not
only presumptious but negligent in the
very thing he accuses others of, rests on
facts. Report after report in writing
has been served on the Board of Health
relative to contagious diseases, but no
signs have been placed on the houses
or premises, This self constituted
report boasts in a semi-official style of
the restriction of scarlet fever" 1t is
the health officer to see that cards are
put up on the premises where conta-
gious diseases exist, but we know of
cases where scarlet fever has arisen and
proved fatal to patient but no card was
ever seen. The board of health were
informed in writing. The state law
relative to reporting contagious diseases
is very strict and explicit. Yet this so
called health officer has labored loud
and long for an extra law for Grand
Rapids, when his hoAaTed dignity
might be personally addressed diplo-
maticaily iii writing. This new law
holds health officers and resident phys
icians equally responsible. As matter
Of fact resident physicians have report
ed contagious diseases in writing and
the health officer has failed to do his
duty even under the new law. Reports
on facts are one thing and reports from
imagination are another.

BASE BALL.
Oshkosh no good when matched with
Grand Rapids.

A most exciting and interesting game
of base ball took place in this city last
Thursday afternoon between the Osh-
kosh nine and the home team. A large
crowd greeted the players as a close
game was expected.
The Grand Rapids team went to bat
and scored two runs in the first inning,
one in the 4th, two in the fifth, one in
the seventh, and four in the eighth.
They failed to score in the I'd, Sd, 9th
and 9Th.
Oshkosh was treated to three goose
eggs the first three innings, scored one
run in the fourth, three III, the sixth
and one IN the eighth.
The Oshkosh Umpire was rank in his
decisions calling balls on Kipp irregard-
less of whether they covered the home
plate or not. He would allow the
Oshkosh players to push men off Of
bases and declare them out. His decis-
ions were rotten and in favor of his
home team all the time. He was hissed
with disrespect.
Kipp and Mullen never played any
better and they were ably supported by
the balance of the team. The score
resulted ten to five in favor of Grand
Rapids. We append the score as fol-
lows:

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

In the Milwaukee Sentinel, of a few
days since was an item which TO the
writer at least, was of no small interest.
It was to the effect that Rev. J. H.
| Croker of the Unitarian Church at
| Madison, Wisconsin, had been invited
to deliver course of lectures on Social
| Science at Johns Hopkins University
At once the thought occurred, why not
have course of study in Social Science
at our State University? No branch of
study is of more vital Importance to the
state at large than this-covering as it
does the study of the best methods for
the reform of the criminal classes, the
prevention, and cure of insanity, the
prevention and the proper methods of
charity-giving, the best and most effec-
tive methods of temperance work, the
problems of educating the people and
other kindred questions. A branch of
in our University. Mr. Crooker is
thoroughly learned in the study as is
evidenced by his being invited to lect-
ure at one of the principal Universities
in the country. He has made the sub
ject special study for many years, and
to him, more than to any other one
man, is due, the movement which has
made many Of our state institutions
models for all others in the Union.
Taken as a whole our jails and state
prison are in healthfulness and cleanli-
ness in advance of those of any other
state, our homes for the poor are super
ior to those of most states, our schools
for the reformation of young criminals
and for the deaf and blind are equal to
any in the world and our associated
charities rank with the best. But still
there is chance for great Improvement
The rational study Of the subjects of
crime, insanity, and pauperism is only
just begun. This improvement can
best be achieved by education in those
lines. Our state educational institu-
tions, more especially our state Univer-
sity should teach these subjects as one
of its courses of study. Give the young
men and young women who are educat-
ed there, the foundation for an intelli-
gent study of Social Science and the
subject in itself contains so much
practical interest and such facination
that they will continue the study in
after life, and put the results of their
study into institutions which will great
| ly advance the interests of the state.
Madison has libraries we'll stocked
for the study of these great social
problems, and has. as WE'LL man avail
able as an instructor who is deeply
learned in those lines of study. Why
not utilize these advantages for the
good of the state.
Let the newspapers of the state take
| the matter in hand and advocate the
establishing of Social Science Course
at the State Univerity and it will be
soon accomplished.

1t appears from the following item
found in the last issue of the Sunday
Telegraph that Marshfield is to have
another newspaper: John P. Hume
and A. j. Paulus, of the Chiffon Times,
were in the city last Wednesday max
ing purchases for use in establishing an
independent paper at Marshfeld.
These young men are well equipped
for the enterprise upon which they are
about to engage. They are newspaper
men of long experience, are wide be-
tween the eyes, are full of energy, are
good citizens and will give the thrifty
growing, handsome city of Marshfeld a
local representative that every year will
be worth tens of thousands of collars
to it. We are sure that the enterpris-
ing people of Marshfeld will see to it
that the new enterprise is splendidly
supported. We can assure them that
the new paper will splendidly support
them and their city. 1t will be the
Marshield News.

CHOLERA IN MICHIGAN.

DIR. F. D. Larke, of Rogers City,
Michigan, says the epidemic of last year
in Presque Isle County, in which so
many persons lost their lives, was chol-
eric dysentery instead of cholera as
first reported. He used Chamberlain S
colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy
and says it succeeded, where all Other
remedies failed. Not a single case was
lost in which it was used This Rem
edy is the most reliable and most sue
cessful medicine known for collie cholera
morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea and
bloody fux. % and 80 cent bottles for

WAUsAU, Wis, Aug. 24.-Elmer Fos-
ter, the 7-year OLD boy who wandered
into the forest near Mosinee, a week
ago Thursday, was found this morning
at o'clock, four miles from that village
walking along logging road through
the woods, swinging by his side the TIN
cup with which he started out to pick
berries. He had subsisted entirely
upon berries during his wanderings of
nine days, water being plentiful in that
section. He heard cries of searchers
and rifle shots the second day, but did
not answer because they did not call
his name. He thought he was going
toward home and would soon meet
some one he knew. His dog became
frightened at the gun shots and desert
ed his young master. A crowd of men
from Joe Desserts saw mill found him.
He was given nourishment, and it is
thought that no serious results will fol-
low his long fast.-Sentinel.

Congregational Church Concert.

The concert given at the Congrega-
tional Church last Friday evening was
not as largely attended as should have
been. The concert was of high order
and deserving of far better patronage.
The program had been arranged by
Prof. Zenier and the selections there
fore well made Mrs. L. G. Oborn, of
Neenah, one of Wisconsin's best vocal
lists made her first appearance before a
Grand Rapids audience. We believe
we speak the sentiment of those who
heard her when we say, that she
left a very favorable impress
sion as singer and lady. She
is woman of fine physique, good look
ing, with pleasing address and man
ner. Her appearance here will long be
remembered as a pleasing feature OF
that concert. Our home talent, as
usual, was excellent and every time
they appear in like entertainments we
feel prouder of their abilities. The
rendition of every part was perfect and
commendable. The society feel under
obligations to Prof Zenier for his
untiring energies in drawing the enter
tainment to a successful issue.
