Eing citizen.
Thus week James Hutchinson, Sr
and wife, Mrs. Laura A. Cobb, and
Calvert Spensley and family de
parted for Pass Christian, Miss.
with the intention of remaining

WHILE in Chicago last week Mr.
J. f. La Male made large sale OF
fannels manufactured by the Min.
eral Point Woolen Mills, cleaning
out the entire stock on hand, and
in addition contracting for several
hundred pieces more, to be made by

S5,25o.
DR.. G. G, KoLLocK, of Madison,
who recently sued that city for S5,.
o00 damages for injuries received
by being thrown out of buggy,
caused by rope stretched across
the street, has given notice that he
will now claim $4,000 damages.
DIR. Kollock claims that his injuries
are more serious than he at first
supposed.
In his tarvels through the United
States, Sir Edwin Arnold has found
the gem city to be in Wisconsin. In
discussing America and American
cities he concludes with this com
plimentary reference to the Badger
capital: "Madison, Wis, is by far
the prettiest place in the United
States. Surrounded by four lakes,
it should be the Venice of America.
1t has not vista, but is beautiful. u
WIUKEsHA is determined not to
have the diphtheria if 1t takes every
constable in the county to keep the
placard ordered by physician from
the door of patient. But if the
doctors diagnosis is correct Wauke-
sha will have diphtheria, her
constables 10 the contrary notwith-
standing, and more of it, undoubt-
edly, than if she had permitted the
placard to remain on the sick mans
door.
A FRENCH physician of eminence
says that to keep away the grip:
"Avoid fatigue, live well, dress
warmly and keep dry, avoid all
fogs." Yet it is fact that the grip
attacks most generally and severely
people whose circumstance enable
them to be idle, to eat the best food
and to wear ample clothing. 1t is a
disease of the wealthy and pamper-
ed, not of the poor and squalid.
How is this accounted for?
DIR. CLAUssEN, humane agent at
Waupaca, reports sad case of des-
titution in the family of Charles
Cartwright, in the town Of Royal
ton, Waupaca county. He found
the mother and children occupying
part of log shanty, the other half
being occupied by two horses. The
horses had nothing to eat, and the
mother and children were no better
off. The father had gone to the
woods to join a lumber camp.
HODGES DRAYToN, young man
under arrest at Fall River, on a
serious charge, was born in the
Taunton alms-house in 1858, his
mother being only 10 years and s
months old and his father only 10.
The son is more than six feet in
hight and is a perfect specimen of
but his life has been one
of crime and misdemeanor. The
fact of his birth are well authentic
ated by the official records. The
mere statement of the facts teach
their own lesson in all localities.
A SERIOUS accident befel Miss

ductor, GALL aboard" The train
Immediately started and Miss
