STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Items of Interest From all Parts of This
Great State


Judge Belden, of the Racine county
court, decided that James Fl. Pollock,
farmer of that county, was mentally
sound when he made his will. Pollock
was most eccentric man and had a
great deal of trouble with four of his
eight children. He had amassed prop
ertY valued at from $4,000 to $4,000
and he cut these four off with simply a
copy of Millions Paradise Lost. !"
The will was contested, but when it
came up for probate Judge Belden ad-
mitted it as a document of a man COM
petent to make it, and declaring the
contestants had no testimony to prove
that Pollock was not sound of mind.
The estate includes valuable farm.
Ernst Won Ericsson, superintendent of
public property under the administra-
ton of Gov. Peck, and engaged in the
practice of law in Columbus since, died
suddenly at his home in Portage of
heart disease. He visited Portage to
attend the democratic county cOnven-
ton, and fell dead as he was entering
the hotel for dinner. Deceased was a
native of Prussia, born in 1871, and
came to America in 1866. He leaves a
wife and several children. The re-
mains were taken to Columbus for
burial
A letter was received at Marinette
by James Watson from the Arnold
Bros, at Cripple Creek, that will make
the stockholders in the Abe Lincoln
mine almost cry with delight. The
latest ore that has been struck shows
upon official assay to run IL 200 ounces
of pure gold to the ton, or in the coin
of the realm just 1921, 400.
Fire destroyed the barns, grain
stacks and outbuildings of Cooley
Smith, farmer living about five miles
west of Reedsburg. The fire was
started by a spark from steam
thresher owned by William Harms,
whose machine also burned.
Spontaneous combustion started a
fire in rhe laboratory of Scoville, the
college academy building, at Beloit.
The damage was small and was
chiefly glassware broken by the streams
of water.
The Waverly house at Appleton was
robbed of few dollars and some silver
ware.
War has been declared on the fish
pirates around Appleton.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: 'For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. G.,
Springfield, Ill, and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone. though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nent1y.

Gold is the spectators dollar" say

How about the cheap money period
from 1861 to 1873? Did not specula-
ton of all kinds flourish then, and
were not the gamblers in bonds, stocks
or farm products greatly aided by the
deprecated and fuctuating currency?
If the fact that some farmers are
poor is used to justify the confscation
of the property of creditors, would not
the poverty of the Coxey armies Of
tramps and unemployed workers justi-
fly them in demanding share of the
property owned by the farmers

Professor Edouard Suess, the aiding

free coinage by this country alone.
The result would be, he says, ''the loss
of all your (our) gold, and the obliga-
ton to buy in England the gold neces-
sary to meet your (our) obligations in
foreign countries" He declares that
zone nation alone is too weak to take
such a step, which must lead to a

Avoid Poisonous Plants.


berries, says an exchange. This not
only happens to children, but to
grown persons who flock the woods
and fields of the adjacent country
side during our bot and Sultry days.
Just a little knowledge will be suf-
ticient to prevent any such accidents,
rendered all the more common and
natural from the fact that the pois-
onous plants are of very attractive,
in some cases even beautiful exterior.
The following brief description OF the
commonest of these noXious plants
will. with the aid of the accompany
ing sketches, enable the reader to
recognize them without difficulty.
The most dreaded of all poisonous
weeds is the one known as poison
ivy or poison oak. 1t bears the for
mer name when a climber, and the
latter when a shrub. 1t grows in
fields. groves and roadsides. 1t climbs
bymeans of rootlets over walls, rocks

are divided into three leaflets, and
the little yellowish-white blossoms
which appear in June are found in
clusters in the axis of the leaves;
later in the season small whitish ber-
ries take the place OF the flowers.
This plant is often confused with
woodbine or Virginia creeper, but the
two can readily be distinguished by
the leaves; poison ivy has it's leaves
divided into three parts, while the
innocent woodbine has five divided
leaves, and the berries of the latter
are dark, while the poison ivy berries
are almost white.
The noxious properties of the ivy
act on the skin with which it comes
in contact, causing white, wartlike
swellings. The plant is said to be
most virtulent at night, or when
the sun is not shining upon it.
Folsom hemlock or spotted cow
bane, often mistaken for the wild
carrot, is member of the parsley
family; it can readily be identified
by it's stem, which is purple streaked.
1t grows in damp, marshy soil and
blossoms in July and August. The
plant is from two to six feet high,
bearing coarsely toothed compound
leaves, and umbels of white flowers;
each lImbel is composed Of innumer-
able fiowerets. The plant is power
ful narcotic poison. The active prin-
ciple, called conicine, is colOrless,
oily liquid, lighter than water, Of a
strong and penetrating oder, causing
death almost as rapidly rs prussic
acid.
FOOLS parsley, or lesser hemlOck,
growing in waste places and road
sides, is a beautiful little plant, one
to two feet high. The leaves are dou-
bly, or trebly divided, and the flower
umbels on long stalks, are composed
Of tiny white flowers. The plant
emits a nauseous odor, and is poison
Gus, though in a less degree than
poison hemlock, which belongs to the
same family FOOLS parsley can
readily be known by the three leaves
