THE lectures by Mrs. Mary Wood
bridge, secretary of the Worlds w.
c. T. IT,, given in this city last Sat
urday and Sunday, were mastery

deprived from hearing her many
who otherwise would have turned
out.

In opening a bottle of seltzer
water one day last week, Patrick
Callahan, of Darlington, had one
eye badly injured, the cork from
the bottle flying out and hitting the
eyeball with such force as to make
the optic bleed freely and swell up
as big as an apple. He suffered in
tense pain for couple of days and
then went to Milwaukee to get
treatment from a specialist.
The tramp question is becom-
ing serious one. The Baraboo
Republic says that two of these
human parasites boarded the north
bound passenger train, Wednesday,
and pulling revolvers on the pas
sengers demanded money. They
were foiled in this attempt and fired
from the train. One of them after

now in the hands of the sheriff.
WHILE Henry Sheer, of Jackson
County, this state, was at work in
his potato field last fall, he was in

if the worse case Of smallpox can
not be cured in three days simply
by the use of cream tartar One
ounce dissolved in a pint of water,
drink at intervals when cold, is a
certain, never-failing remedy. 1t

An Industrial Cormissi on" in
connection with tie g. M. 81 st.
Paul Railway, was repr scented here
