Bessie Jones, Blanche Witherbee and
Eta Jones are vocalIsts OF no mean
ability, each being a specialist in her
particular part. Beauty and purity
OF tone can only come from a cultivst-
ed voice and while our Young people
have not the advantage of these
young ladies, the hearing of good
music should act as stimuIous to
greater exertions on their part and
many good suggestions be harvested.
To say that the quartette was APP
preciated would be putting it rather
mildly. Every number was encored
and when the closing piece was finish
ed there was still clamous for more.
We hope to have the pleasure of see
ing them before Potosi audience
again.
The decorations were principally of
ferns and house plants arranged in
pyramidal design while here and
there was an INTERVIEWING of the
class colors. pink and white. to give
tone and make it all very beautiful in
effect.
The class, composed of Misses Nell
Hunt, Lulu Schitfman, Julia Kehner
and Messrs Harold Foster and Chas.
Shaw, performed their several duties
in very creditable manner.
The address by Rev. Breeze was
short but spicy and made a fit pre-
Jude for the good things which fol-
lowed.
On the whole it was one of the
most enjoyable entertainments we
have ever had the pleasure Of attend
ing. Two SPECTATORS.

''Going into decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What
does it mean? 1t means that people
are losing flesh, growing thin. wasting.
The way to correct this condition is
to improve the digestion. The con-
dition arises from an inability to eat
and digest food. In fact food does
more harm than good because it fer
ments and putreties in the stomach,
developing poisonous substances
which when absorbed cause various
disorders
What is required is that the stom-
ach be made to perform its duties.

At 5 o'clock Sunday morning this
vicinity Of the earth's surface exper-

shudder that suggested earthquake
vibrations. Whenever there is a dis
turbance Of this character that our
citizens cannot fathom they dispose
of the matter with the remark that
"the Platteville powder mill must
have blown up again" So, on sun
day, as the day advanced everybody
was disposed to let it 20 at that, un-
til man employed by Mr.. Sam Borah
in Mt. Ida is said to have reported
that h. saw a large body of fire fall
ing in the sky and that it bursted and
divided in two parts with a loud con-
cussion that shook the earth. Scien-
titic sharps now say that it must have
been the falling Of meteoric stone:
we have not yet learned that IT struck
the earth anywhere in Wisconsin.
OF course it might burn up before
going to grass and the dust Of it may
account fer sore eyes and sore throats
in this locality just now.
