Exercise and Health,
Harper's Bazaar,

Exercise, with both men and women. is
a question of intelligence consideration
Of kind and quality, rather than of degree.
The subject has for women peculiar en-
barrassments and limitations, particularly
in the close house bound life of the city.
In the country there are the natural morn
ing duties, with open windows and food
ing sunlight; the walk to the depot or for
the mail, quiet and calming; the long pi-
azzas. In the city, nine women out of ten
are victims to morning gown and slippers
A mans hat, coat, and gloves hang in the
hallway, always in readiness What would
he say if boots, trousers, and coat were to
be changed, after an hour, before he could
get out for a Oraeth of fresh air? While
many women still follow the traditions of
delicacy and helplessness that have for
so many years enshrined and enfeebIed
their sex. yet they have come, all the same,
to understand, through the efforts of many
of their sisters who must perforce be
strong, that poor physique puts wom
an at odds, and at the mercy of others
when the stress of life comes. In the new
creed to which women are giving allegi
ance it will come to be an article in time
that weakness unless inherited, is sin.
The young woman of the future will fulfil
the poets ideal: she gave him her hand;
1t was not a helpless one.

CROWDING THE LOTTERIES.
The President Urges Legislation That Will
Ruin Them.

WASHINGTON July 29.-The president
has sent to congress a special message on
the subject of lotteries. He says that the
recent attempt to secure charter from the
state of North Dakota for lottery COM
pany, pending the effort to obtain from
the state of Louisiana a renewal of the
charter of the Louisiana state lottery, and
the establishment Of ore or more lottery
companies at the Mexican towns near our
borCer, have served a good purpose of
calling the public attention to an evil of
vast proportions. Continuing the presi-
dent says that if the baneful effects of lot
teries were confined to the states that gave
the companies corporate power and
license to conduct business, the citizens of
other states, being powerless to apply
legal remedies, might clear themselves of
the responsibility by the use of such gen.
eral agencies as were within their reach
but the case is not so. The people of all
the states are debauched and defrauded
The vast sums of money offered to states
for charters, are drawn from the people of
the United States and the general govern
ment, through the mail system, is made an
effective and profitable medium of inter-
cou1se between the lottery company and
its victims. The use of the mails is quite
as essential to the companies as the state
license. 1t would be practically impo
sible for companies to exist if the public
mails were once effectuallg closed against
their advertisements and remittances. The
use of the mails by these companies is a
prostitution of an agency only intended to
serve the purpose of legitimate trade and
decent social intercourse The presi-
dent concludes by urging the enactment
of such laws as will absolutely prevent the
use of the mails by lottery companies
A letter from the postmaster general &C
companies the message in which the
inade4uacy of the present postal laws to
meet the emergency is pointed out.

MEN WHO FACED DEATH
An Experienced Physician Eells How the
Average Man Meets the Grim DESTROYER
General Grants Calm Courage


Average Man Meets the Grim DESTROYER
General Grants Calm Courage.
Dr. George F. Shardy, the physician
who attended General Grant has been so
placed at various times during his busy
lifetime as to be able to see a great deal
of the spirit that the average man dis
plays when facing death
DIR. Shady was in the war, and saw men
face death on the battle field. He saw the
nerve-er lack of it, as the case might
have been-shown by the wounded
soldiers. Since the war his hospital ex-
perlence and private practice have been
such as to give him still more information.
As General Grants physician in his last
illness, DR.. Shady figured in one of the
grimmest fought battles with the king of
terrors that has ever been seen.
''All the men who face death coolly are
not necessarily brave men, in my opinion, "
said DR.. Shrady TO New York Herald re-
porter. 1T has been my experience that
once man makes up his mind that he is
going to die he grows callous about the
end and accepts the situation as matter
of fact. Of course it may be bravery. but
my observation has led me to conclude
that majority of persons when once they
find that they are going to die will meet
death coolly."

Senote,-Tbe senate roll call today show
cd there were forty-seven senators in
attendance. The journal of yesterday,
having been read, Mr.. Edmunds
moved to amend and correct the journal
by making it state the names of
the thirty-two senators who were present
yesterday morning when the roll was first
called. There was general opposition to
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the tariff bill, resuming it
at paragraph 81, page 10, under the head
of Lead products.
House.-On motion of Mr.. Taylor, of
Illinois, d resolution was adopted calling
on the secretary Of war for copies of the re-
port of the engineers in charge of the work

Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1890-08-07

House.-In the house today Mr.. Oates,
OF Alabama, rising to question of prvi-
Ilege, offered a resolution for the in
vestlgation of the charges of corruption
against members of the house, contained
IN recent editorial in the National
Economist. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. con-
tended that the resolution did not pre-
sent a question of privilege. The charge
made IN the editorial was indefinite.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, thought that If
the house were to take cognizance of this
charge, although practically it was no
charge, the resolution should be first sent
to committee. Mr. Rogers. of Arkansas,
said it was generally understood that
the speaker passed all the bills in the
house. therefore, the charge was an in
ferential one against the speaker. After
further discussion the speaker ruled
that the resolution was not a priv
LEGGED one. In doing so, he said that the
newspaper editorial was of the vaguest
character. 1t made no assertion except by
inference. 1t made no statement upon
which anybody could be expected to predi-
cate belief or conviction. The house
sustained the decision of the chair, an
appeal having been taken by Mr.. Oates
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the senate amendments to the
sundry civil appropriation bill The SEN
ate irrigation amendment was finally nom
! concurred in.

THE LIFE IN A GLASS.
1t Does Not Seem to be Very Much but
1t is Often Enough to be the Begin
ming of Death.

Did you ever hold glass of drinking water
up to the light and notice how completely filed
it was with little particles of matter? 1t looked
perfectly clear and pure when you poured it
out, but yet it was reeking with animal or vege-
table matter. Do you imagine it can be
healthy? Do you wonder why, in little while,
your mouth tastes bad, your appetite is poor
and you feel general disgust with the world?
But if water is so impure, what shall we do!
Boil it? No, that may kill the germs, but does
not remove them. far better way is to use
pure whiskey with it. The best physicians in
America unhesitatingly declare this now, but
and bear this most carefully in mind-it must
be pure whiskey, for impure whiskey is worse
than impure water.
Doctors, chemists scientists and professors,
are now fully agreed that no whiskey used in
America today is so chemically pure or free
from fusel OIL as Duffy's Pure Malt 1t has sue
cessfully withstood the enmity of all other
whiskies, the prejudice of weak minded and the
bigotry of narrow minded people Why? Be-
cause 1t has produced results, restored health,
prolonged life, awakened the tagging faculties
and counteracted the evil effects of poisonous
water. Indeed, it is pure, medicinal whiskey.
Do not however, allow any unscrupulous dealer
to impose upon you by declaring he has some
concOctiOn of his own that is ''just as good" or
some bottled whiskey that is much 'better." 1t
is the very popularity of Dufy's Pure Malt that
has caused these unworthy decoctions to come
into the market.

A Noteworthy Exception.

From the Kimbal s. Oak. Graphic.l
While the columns of the Graphic
are open to any and all unobjectionable
advertisements, yet it is quite impossi-
BILE for us to speak knowingly of the
merits of the various articles of mer-
chandise advertised. Particularly is this
true of patent medicines. But there
are exceptions occasionally and note
worthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. This
now universally known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four
or five years, but not until recently had
we any personal knowledge of its won
derful efficacy, which has come about
through the prevailing influenza and
the stubborn cough that has so often at
tended it. In the writer's family this
medicine has on several occasions this
winter cured cough that baff1ed any
and all other remedies and the number
of families in Kimball and vicinity in
which this remedy has been used with
like effects attests to it's value as spe-
citic for coughs and colds of every
nature. For sale by G. f. Heinzeman,
222 North Main street, and all leading
druggists.

Third and Fourth streets. The matter
of the mayors message on the price of
sewer has been discussed, and it is prob
able that the committee will recommend
that the contracts be approved, notwith-
standing the objections of the mayor.
1t is stated that the bids for furnishing
the sewer pipe are at lower rate than
have ever before been sent to the coun-
Gil. The difference in bids for the same
pipe for different sewers is accounted for
by the statement that it costs more to
deliver the pipe at one place than the
other. The report of the committee,
when decided upon, will probably cover
the ground thoroughly.
