Highly Exalted Notions.

+ New beginners in every profession
have highly exalted notions, not only
about their calling, but about them
lle.ves. The young physician feels in
his bones that he is going to make
gaunt disease hunt its lair, and even
expects to give the grim old warrior on
the snowy steed many a hard thrust.
1t is we'll that he should have great
confidence in himself and in his
remedies, but even he is doomed to
most disheartening disappointments.
de finds the practice of medicine is
very different from The study of it, and
he soon comes to the conclusion that be
is not the greatest healer the world has
ever seen. It is we'll for him and his
patrons that he should come to this
conclusion early in his career. He will
then begin to learu that which cannot
be taught in colleges. So with the
aspirant for journalistic fame. The
sooner he learns that his editorials are
not equal to those of Dana, Mcclure or
Watterson, and that his humor lacks
the convulsive properties of Twain's,
Burdette's or Lewis effusion, and that
his poetry is not sought after like the
verses Of Riley, Wilcox or Steadman,
the better for him and for the public.
During the first year that a boy works
as reporter on newspaper he usually
feels that he could hold the city desk
down in better form than the city
editor. The next year he is quite
certain that he could manage the paper
much better than the managing editor,
and the next he is ready to give the
editor pointers or to fill his place
During the next three years, if he lasts
that long, he will simmer down and
become Of some account as a reporter.
The literary aspirant thinks of begin
ming by writing short sketches from life.
His first impulse is to take seat beside
Dickens, Howells or Stephenson. After
spelling reams of paper, wasting years
of time and spending dollars upon
dollars in postage to and from publish
ers, he concludes that he will be
satisfied to see his name appended to
anything, no matter how trivial. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that new
authors never wrote anything previous
to that which made them famous. A
very large majority of them have pen
corns on their fingers and their garrets
are full of worthless manuscript. How
ever, each new candidate for honor and
fame in this line plunges in at the same
point, and if he comes out at all it is at
aimed.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

CITY COUNCIL Room, |
Sept. %, 1893. !
Special meeting of the City Council,
Mayor Taylor presiding.
Aldermen all present except Aid.
Timm.
The Mayor stated the object of the
meeting to be to obtain the views OF
the members of the Council on building
a stone wall on Water st. near the
Engine platform north to point at the
foot of the hill. Alderman McCarty
moved that measures be taken to build
said wall. Motion prevailed and Oh
motion the Mayor appointed a commit
tee consisting of Aldermen Lutz
Schrader and Huban to report next
Wednesday evening the course tC
pursue in regard to building wall Oh
river front opposite City Hall, and
furnish information as to cost of rock
and where to obtain it, cost of masonry

with it,

Protection is Needed

In another column the reader will
notice the council proceedings, in
which that body show themselves in
favor of erecting Il stone wall from
Bittner's meat market building to the
high bank in front of the Cong'l church
"a distance of about 400 feet. This
wall to be six feet wids at the base,
three feet wide at the top and from II
to II feet high. A committee has been
appointed to ascertain the expense OF
such wall. It is estimated that it could
be erected for about 81 800.
This improvement is very much
needed for in case of high water the
entire business part of the city would
be threatened with destruction. 1t will
be remembered that the floods of 1901
cost the city at least $4,000 to fill up and
repair the damages then incurred If
such a wall as is contemplated had been
erected then, this expense would have
been saved to the city. The slab filling
along this place is constantly rotting
away and the city authorities are yearly
expending about 5000 to keep the street
and sidewalk in repair along the river
at this point
This wall is a necessary addition for
the greater safety of our business
houses and we hope if it comes to a
vote of the people they will support
the Council in the enterprise.

Keep Your Heart Pare.

A pure heart is the very best guide
one can have in any business in life. 1t
will lead anyone in the right direction
in spite of temptation. 1t is true that
temptation must be resisted, but the
pure heart will always give warning of
danger. That which we call conscience
is but the emotion of pure heart.
''What shall 1 do to gain eternal life?
Discharge Alright
The simple dues with which each day is rife;
Yes, with thy might;
Ere perfect scheme of action thou devise
Will life be fed;
While he who ever acts as conscience cries
Shall live, though dead"
This idea is beautifully set forth in
the above lines from Schiller. Purity
of heart and honesty of purpose are
the only safe guard for the man of
business. The business code may
permit man to take advantage of his
neighbor without becoming amenable
to the laws of the land. They cannot
do so, however, without a vigorous
protest from pure and honest heart
Following is a description of Sir Arthur
Helps ideal man of business: "He
should be able to fix his attention on
details and be ready to give every kind
of argument hearing. This Will not
cucumber him, for he must have been
practiced beforehand in the exercise of
his intellect, and be strongin principles
One man collects materials together and
there they may remain in a shapeless
heap; another, possessed of method,
can arrange what he has collected; but
a man as | would describe, by the aid
of principles goes farther and builds
with his materials. He should be
courageous. The courage, however,
required in civil affairs, is that which
belongs rather to the able commander
than the mere soldier. But any kind of
courage Is serviceable. Besides stout
heart he should have patient temper
ament and vigorous but disciplined
imagination; and then he will plan
boldly, and with large extent of view
execute calmly and will not be stretch
ing out his hands for things not yet
within his grasp. He will let opportu-
| mites grow before his eyes until they
are ripe enough to be seized. He will
think steadily over possible failure in
| order to provide remedy or retreat
There will be strength of repose
| about him. He must have a deep
sense of responsibility. He must
believe in the power and vitality of
truth, and in all he does and says
should be anxious to express as much
truth as possible. His feeling of
responsibility and his love Of truth will
almost inevitably endow him with
diligence, accuracy and discreetness-
those commonplace requisites for a good
man of business, without which all the
rest may never come to be translated
| into action y

Via The Wisconsin Central.

A days ride on the Wisconsin Central
through the pinery woods and out on
the prairies, past the wonderful lake
regions and through the gorgeous
autumnal forests of hardwood that
Southern Wisconsin affords, is a delight
full beginning Of trip and outing that
takes in the Worlds Fair. You leave
the Twin Cities in time to see the sun
rise and go to Stevens Point on the
Green Bay r. R. changing there for
Chicago, which city is reached in the
early evening. The trip has been made
by day and sleeping car fare is saved.
Travelling men say it is the smoothest
running road in the state.

Bear Lunch.

Every Fall, for tie past four years,
Mr.. Joseph Rick has been successful in
killing black bear. The past week he
killed another and invited his friends
and the public generally to his place in
the town of Sigel for lunch. A large
number accepted his invitation Sunday
afternoon and were treated TO a jolly
good meal and report a very pleasant
time besides. These have come to be
annual occurrences and as bear meat is
now rare dish Jos. Rick's bear lunch
is an event always anXiously awaited.

Pet Superstitions.

1t is fact that very few people are
exempt from some pet superstitions.
Most people when approached on the
subject will decidedly deny any tend
encies toward superstition and affirm
that they 'are not in the least
influenced by signs, but''-then will
follow some dreams or signs that have
invariably proved true in their case.
One woman is sure to hear of sickness
in her family if she dreams of deep
water; another is warmed of a subtle
enemy by a dream of snake. One
will surely receive letter after dream
ing of the dead. To drop a dish cloth
or have the rooster crow on the door
step will bring company. There are
signs too numerous to mention. A
book the size of Webster's unabridged
would scarce hold them ALL Some
popular fallacies pertaining to the dead
are as follows: If the eyes of a corpse
open they are looking for one to follow
them. If there is no rigidity apparent
another in the family will soon die. If
it rains on new made grave another
will be made before week passes.
Some signs for birthdays are:
Mondays BARN are fair of face;
Tuesdays bairn are full of grace;
Wednesdays bairn are sour and sad;
Thursdays BARN are merry and glad;
Fridays bairn are free and giving;
SATURDAYS bairn work hard for living;
Sundays BARN will never know want;
But the one who is born on Easter day
Is blithe and bonny and good and gay.
Old superstitions respecting the
wedding garments and wedding days
run in the same. kind of foolish rhymes
as above It is surprising to see how
much confidence some people place in
nonsense of this nature.

Local and Otherwise.

AS an indication of approaching fall
weather duck shooting is getting quite
good on the South Centralia pond.
Mr.. August Giese, of the town of
Grand Rapids, called at this Office Satur-
day and told us of his experiences in
| the hay marshes during the recent
forest fires. 1t is his opinion that about
800 tons of hay was burned on the
Buena Vista marsh between Plover and
the Ten Mile creek. Value the hay on
the marsh at $4 per ton and you have a
| complete loss to the farmers Of $4,000.
The Rev. c.. I. Everitt, of Omro,
Wis, will preach in the Congregational
Church next Sunday morning, at Unity

Good Templary. Everyone is invited
and urged to attend one or all of these
services.

DEER HUNTING.

There has been some misunderstood
ing as to the time deer hunting com
mences so we publish the following
section taken from Chapter 106, Laws
of 1898, as follows:
SEC. 3. It shall be unlawful to kill or
take by any kind of contrivance or de-
vice whatever, or pursue with intent to
kill or take or worry any deer, buck,
doe or fawn between the first day OF
November and the succeeding first day
of October of each year.
This is clear enough that the month OF
October is the only time given for deer
hunting. This is nearly as good as posi-
tive prohibition.

Indiscriminate Saving.

"Save the bits of twine; wind them
on this ball" So said an over-savine
housekeeper to her new "help," as the
latter made a roll of the paper in
which a leg of mutton had been sent
from the market, and put paper and
twine into the kitchen fire. The
questioningly at her mistress, making
no reply. Here was an opportunity
not to be slighted; the woman must
convert this young person; she said,
"Neyer throw away anything that can
be of use." The servant talked
back"
"The cord was greasy, it was not fit
to use again.
1t was the preacher who was con.
verted this time, and she sensibly con.
fessed herself more jealous than wise.
Nothing will take the place of bit
of twine, as all housekeepers have
been convinced, but we prefer that
which has been used on packages con-
tanning other goods than sausage, fish
or suet. There are other odors more
grateful to the sense of smell.
A word might be said in regard to
the burning of wrapping paper. Moth
ing. unless, perhaps, salt. clam shells
or watermelon rinds, will deaden fire
more effectually. remember wash
ing day rendered unusually blue by a
late clothes boiling, all on account of a
big paper confagration. Better leave
the wrapping papers to be burned after
the dinner is cooked, if they must be
burned. Really, cremation seems the
most desirable method of disposing OF
paper in which meat, cheese and other
articles coming under the head OF
groceries, are wrapped. Cremation is
one of the indications of progressive
age.-Good Housekeeping.

Some War Figures.

Camille Flammarion, the French
author, has passion for big figures.
General statistics, he says, prove that
since the Trojan war, 5000 years ago,
not single year has elapsed in which
some war has not killed it's proper
tionate number. During thirty CEN
turies loss of 40,000,000 a century
makes the total mum Der destroyed by
war to be 1,200,000,000. a number
very nearly representing the total
population of the globe at the present
day. Eighteen million cubic meters of
blood has been she'd. If this blood were
poured into the River Seine instead of
the natural flow of water one would
have to stand on the parapet fifty hours
to see it flow away.
If the 1,200, 600, 900 skeletons should
rise and climb one upon the other the
ladder thus formed would reach the
moon, coil about that body and, con-
tinuing onward, would mount into in
finite space four times as far again
that is, 800, 200 leagues in height. The
corpses, if thrown into the channel at
Calais, would form a bridge between
France and England and separate the
ocean from the north sea by weir. If
only the heads of the men slaughtered
in war were taken and placed side by
side band would be formed reaching
six times around the world Ci1acin-
