An odd GIFT For a Man.

A Christmas present has usually a
suggestion of beauty, comfort or dain-
tiness about it, but skull brush broom
holder can boast of none of these quail
tiles. It was made for a college man
by his sister. The cardboard was cut
in the exact shape of a skull and then
covered with coat of white paint. The
teeth the young woman considered a
work of art. 4 piece of cardboard COW
cred with white kid was fastened to
either side of the skull in the back, and
between this and the skull the brush
broom was held. The broom had an
ivory handle. The young woman who
originated this novel holder did so be-
cause her brother insisted that the only
Christmas presents she knew how to
make were fluffy, soft perfumery
things that were no earthly good.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlin's Cough
Remedy We have used it quite ex-
tensiyely and it has always given
entire satisfaction. -Oiagah, Ind. Ter
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventive of pneu-
monia. Among the many thousands
who have used it for colds and lagrippe,
we have never yet learned Of ii single
case having resulted in pneumonia.
Persons who have weak lungs or have
reason to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand. The

THURSDAY, DEC. 3, 1896.
A Timely Warning

The election has left the country
with many grave and difficult problems
on hand. Now that we are face tOface
with some of these problems, the lack
of capacity of our politicians to deal
with them is more than cause for re-
greet, it is cause for apprehension. A
good many of the voters who have con-
tributed to Mr. McKinEey's victory
think that they have just causes OF
complaint on account OF tariff, or Of
land grant, or Of kindred legislation, or
on account of the power, vastly greater
than the power of the government,
which has been, and may again be, ex-
ercised by combinations of capital and
capitalists. Whether all their COM
plants are or are not just, these voters
are to be reckoned with, and if they
are not needed, the next combination
of the forces against the existing order
of things may be much more formidable
than that which was led by Mr.. Bryan.
1t is essential that the voters who were
opposed to Mr. Bryan should be held
together against socialism, which has
been increasing during the last fifteen
years, aud which will grow still more
rapidly in the future if federal Iegisla-
ton shall give it food for growth. Ia
seeking to accomplish this object, our
politicians ought to bear in mind that
the first thought OF men who have, or
who think that they have, grievances
against wealth, or against the legisla-
ton which aids in the production OF
individual wealth, is that the power to
attain wealth must be limited, or even
destroyed, not that it's employment
must be regulated so that the power
that it gives shall not be abused.
There is therefore likely to be an in
crease of socialism if the feeling that
underlay good deal of Mr.. Bryan's
support is not overcome the feeling
that the powers OF the government
have been used in aid of certain classes,
especially of the manufacturers and of
railroad corporations; and renewed
trouble may be invited if this feeling
shall be stimulated by further legisla-
ton, or, perhaps, If there shall not be
something done looking to the ultimate
employment of the powers of govern
ment for the purposes Of government
alone, -Harper's Weekly.

THE semi centennial celebration idea
seems to have been knocked into a
cooked hat. Conditions are not such
in this state just now that we can go
slam bang into raising three quarters
of a million dollars just for little
blow out. 1t would all be nice thing,
especially if Milwaukee was to pay two
thirds Of the freight. but that city has
not yet sufficiently recovered from the
terrific blow the panic struck her to do
that. Maybe later on, when the re-
turning confidence in the business
world gets beyond the sentimental
stage, the thing will become possible.
For the present, at least, let it rest.

CHIPPEWA FALLS FLOODED.
An Ice Gorge Found in Chippewa River
Last Night.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. l Moth
ing but a dam of ice and frozen logs last
night stands between this city and a
raging food that would sweep the
buildings from many Of the streets in
this city. An ice gorge has formed in
the river. and pack of this for a dis
lance of six miles is lake which is
steadily and rapidly increasing in size.
At the same time, the immense pres
sure on the ice dam is growing greater
every minute The ice gorge has
formed at the old Lafayette mill, and
for six miles back water is pouring into
the great basin. Above the milling
company's dam the water is running at
slope of ten feet, and tonight, in spite
of the immense spread of the basin
which has been formed, the water is
rising at the rate of one foot every two
hours.
The water has been rising steadily,
and tonight Spring and River streets
are flooded as far as Bridge street.
The water has risen to a height of
twenty feet, and bids fair to go up to
thirty feet before morning. The sewers
are flooded, and the water is freezing
as it rises. At the rate the water is
rising now height will De reached
that means the flooding of half of the

PROF. FONTANA.
de is Met by Fair Sized Audience at
the Rhode SN

the Rhode. 30
Prof. FOntana made his initial ap-
pearance at the Rhode opera house
Monday evening, and the entertain
ment he presented was in some of it's
particulars unique, if not actually
marvellous. The audience was a very
fair sized one, and was of a very gener
al character.
The entertainment opened with an
exhibition by Mrs. Fontana, who is
very small in size and stature, pushing
large men about the stage against
their most strongly exerted opposition,
and apparently without any effort on
her part. Such feats as lifting five
men piled on one chair, and carrying a
pole which eight men were holding
down with all their strength, ETC.,
were performed. The second part of
the program consisted of mind reading,
in which Prof Fontana found things
hidden in the audience, and the third
part was hypnotism. This part con-
sisted mostly in finding subjects upon
which to work and no very peculiar
phenomena appeared. Having found
subjects, now, however, some very
amusing things may be looked for
hereafter.

WILL NEVER USE STEAM.
The Electric Company Will Never Take
the Backward Step.

The statement that has been given
out as a reason why the c. & N. W.
does not want the Racine, Milwaukee
and Kenosha company to cross it's
tracks at South Milwaukee, namely,
that the electric company may adopt
steam at some future time. is simply
absurd. The electric company has no
such thought, and does not intend to
go backward, but forward, according
to Mr.. Slush, president of the company.
There is much more probability of the
North Western adopting electricity
than there is of the electric road
adopting steam. In fact, there is not
even a possibility of that taking place.

THE rapidly increasing value OF the
Ken0sha public library is again evil
denced by the report of Mrs. G. P,
Barnes, librarian, for the month of
November. 1t shows that the percent
age of fiction read is lessening some
what, while the percentage of history,
biography, travel, poetry, ETC., is in
creasing. This shows that the library
is rapidly becoming a very important
educational factor to our citizens. A
large proportion of the more solid
works are: being used by the school
children in supplementary way to
their school work, while number of
the young mechanics, tradesmen and
students of science are consulting
works which they consider Of material
aid to their work. The influence of the
library, therefore, as it grows is becom-
ing invaluable.

EDIroRIALLY the milwaukee Journal

EDITORIALLY the milwaukee Journal
says: Capt. Z G.. Timme would make
dignifed president pro tenn. of the
state senate This paper does not
know whether the Milwaukee paper is
trying by such a remark to kill off so
good republican by democratic praise
or not, but without regard to it's mo-
tive it is a mighty good and sensible
suggestion. Senator Timme would
make a presiding officer who would not
be triGed with. He is diplomatic
ana is withal a man
SO devoid of partisanship and the mar
row prejudices it entails that it is
doubtful If a faircr presiding officer
could be found. Mr. Timme's innate
mcdesty will prevent his pushing his
claims for the position unduly. But
the suggestion made is so good a one
that we feel warranted III pushing him
for the position without first having
asked his consent.

THERE is a decided revival of the
talk of organizing a patent bar, with
rules of practice strict enough to make
the profession of soliciting patents as
honorable as that of practicing in our
highest law courts. And there is rea-
son enough for the revival, too. The
honorable patent lawyer does not like
to be considered in the same class as
the green goods man, the bunco-steerer,
or the illicit vendeT of lottery tickets.
But if something isn't done to stop and
to prevent the bunco offers of alleged
would be purchasers of patents and OF
lottery prizes for ideas whether patent
able or not, there is grave danger that
they will be SO associated, certainly in
the minds of those who are bunro ed by
these schemes of doubtful legality and
of certain immortality. But, after all,
it is the inventor who needs protection
the most. The United States courts
will give it to him after he gets his
patent, but it is before he gets his pat
ent that he is skinned, if he doesn't
exercise good judgment enough to make
his application through honorable pat
ent lawyers, such as would scorn the
introduction of lottery methods into
their business for the sake of enticing
advance fees from the pockets of in
ventors. If an inventor doesn't know
of such firm he should inquire OF
friends, and take no chances.

SENATOR QUAY has reason to feel
gratifed at the reception his idea for
the retirement Of the greenbacks is
meeting from senators and representa-
tives, even if it does not get adopted.
His idea is to remove the opportunity
for raidins the gold in the treasury by
replacing the greenbacks with notes
payable in gold at the option of the
government. He thinks these notes
would everywhere be regarded as good
as gold; that they would be used by the
banks to maintain their gold reserve,
and that their use would put an end to
the much talked about endless
chain" Men who are opposed to
further issues of bonds take kindly to
Senator Quay's plan, and if no legisla-
ton increasing the revenue can be had
this winter, they may try to put it
through congress- provided that it is
by the republican caucus.
