The st. Paul railway company
has issued an order restricting the
monthly mileage of engineers to
,, 600 miles and providing that no
engineer shall work more than six
days per week. As trainmen are paid
according to the lumber of miles

at least $35 per month il the pay of
each engineer.
ONE of the finest works in print
on "The Worlds Columbian Ex-
position" is a book of over six
hundred pages by Trumbell White
and Igloheart. 1t is a complete
history, full description of the
buildings and exhibits, with special
chapters by chiefs of departments,
and is fully illustrated with half
tone and wood engravings. Miss
Ella Dave has the local agency.
Be sure and see the work.
Our honored statesman of world
wide popularity, J. NJ. Rusk, has
been alarmingly i'll this week at his
home at Viroqua. His condition
was such that DR.. Hamilton, of Chi
cago, was sent for, and he performed
an operation of a delicate nature,
Since then the General has rested
comfortable, and the doctor and
family are much encouraged at
his improved condition. The
whole nation is interested in and
hoping for his recovery.

hereafter the new firm will be known
as Gundry 81 Gray, who by square
dealing with one and all hope to
command the confidence and patron
age so literally bestowed on the old
firm.
FARMERS in Illinois have recent
ly been victimized by lot of fell
lows who 60 about painting patent
medicine signs on barns and other
buildings. After the work is done
they ask the farmer to sign GER.
tificate to show that the WORK has
been properly done and in short
time the "certificate" turns up at
some bank as promissory note,
This is a good deal easier way than
peddling the farmers twenty-five
cent tea at seventy eight cents per
pound.
