Improved Dental ParIorS.

Since Messrs. A. B. Crawford and
w. H. Waugaman formed a CO. partner
ship under the firm name of Crawford
& Waugaman they have enlarged and
beautified their business place until it
now rivals compe' ION. New Brussels
carpets, tapestries, rugs, curtains, wall
paper, pictures, ETC., have been used in
decoration until it is as enchanting as
paradise. With these beautiful sur
roundings and all the modern improve
ments and appliances known to the
profession there is no fear, with the
skill at their command, but what the
best of work will be accomplished. In
fact they promise the best work known
to the science. They invite everybody
to call and see them and make per-
sonai inspection of their rooms, work
and prices. Both gentlemen are genial,
social and entertaining and will be glad
to see their patrons and friends. Give
them visit.

NURSERY STOCK.

Messrs. Ira Purdv and L. H. Read
have rented part of the Chas. DAILY
farm, Just south of the city limits, and
contemplate starting a frnit and nursery
farm. Mr.. Read will continue to repre-
sent the Waupun Nursery Company in
this vicinity until their stock is ready
for use, and if those who contemplate
purchasing nursery stock Of any kind
would consider that stock grown in our
own state and near vicinity is worth
much more than that shipped here
from the south and east, and in purchas-
ing buy only home grown stock, we
would hear less often of failure of nur-
serv stock to grow This part of the
state is especially adapted to the grow
ing Of small fruits and we think that
ten years from now will show this sec
ton TO be the garden spot of the state.
l.. II. Read informs US that the spring
delivery of the Waupun Nursery Com
pany for Wood County will be held at
the Central House in this city Saturday,
April 80. Every one wishing to see
good nursery stock should be sure and
call and look it over as it comes from

Serious Accident.

Saturday evening at eight O'Clock as
the passenger train came in from the
east, Mr.. Jos. Cave, with his horse and
buggy reached the crossing near the
depot. He waited until the passenger
cleared the crossing and then started to
pass, when a freight car was backed
down upon him and his horse gave a
lunge and cleared the track just in time
to save their lives, but in doing so he
SHE'D one side and threw Mr.. Cave out
of the buggy over the dash board
against an electric light pole, breaking
two ribs on his left side and otherwise
bruising his body. 1t was narrow
escape and the horse appeared to see
the approaching danger.

Remarkable Timber Resources.

A remarkable and particularly signif-
cant indication Of the growth of COM
merce at the head of Lake Superior,
says Seaboard, is seen in the published
statement that, during the present sea-
son, there will be shipped eastward
from the twin cities of Superior and
Duluth over 100000,00n feet OF lumber,
from orders already placed. What the
closing figures of the season will be ii
would be hard to estimate. The timber
territory back Of those cities is almost
unexhaustible, and is rapidly taking the
place Of the comparatively exhausted
forests of Michigan, so that it is among
the early probabilities that We shall see
Superior's twin cities supplanting Chi
cago as lumber center. To appreciate
this advancement one has but to re-
member that two years ago the lumber
trade for the entire season aggregated
but 20, 100000 feet of lumber.

Dpuot and Cafe.

To the Edltor Of the Dispatch:
Why should not depot be pronounced
after the French as well as cafe : 1t is
quite as much French word, though
usually pronounced as if it were by
bird. half English and half French. Let
us either pronounce all the letters in pot
or Frenchify the whole. z.
The question answers itself. Depot
is pronounced by English speaking peo-
pie as nearly after the French fashion
as cafe is. The whole matter here IN
volved is one of taste. Both depot and
cafe are French words by origin. Those
who can pronounce them according to
the French are at liberty to do SO. Those
who cannot should he content with the
pronunciation given them by the mass
of English-speaking people, into whose
language they have been adopted. The
great average, in this respect as in others,
is apt to be as correct as is lingnally pos
sible and as convenience will permit.
