WdQlGU Oh matters OF importance.
Owing to the big rush of trade last
Saturday the Cohen Bros. were obliged
to lock the doors, not letting more Gus
toners come in until the first were
waited on. Now talk about hard times.
Cohen Bros are proud of it and appre-
Ciate the same.

cult court in Adams county this week

that was long enough for. Judge Webb
to create a most favorable impression
upon the public as an able, impartial
and painstaking administrator of the
law and of justice.
The Stevens Point Journal puts a
good word in the right place with the
following paragraph; "The papers all
over the state are going into ecstacies
over the fact that the Wisconsin Gem
trail began carrying bicycles free, but
nothing is offered commendatory Of the
Green Bay & Western which has never
charged any fee for carrying wheels"
Times are really pretty hard when
COW will march right down the big
business street Of city and eat all the
cabbage off a merchants display rack
without consent Of owner or clerk. 1t
was one of those much favored Gem
tralia COWS that enjoyed this privilege.
Mr.. Merchant, put a fence or two in
front Of the store.
For every quarter In mans pocket
there are dozen uses; and to use each
one in such way as to derive the
greatest benefit is question every one
must solve for himself. We believe,
however, that no better use could be
made of one of these quarters than to
exchange 1t for a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhna Rem
edy, medicine that every family should
be provided with. For sale by F. L.
Steib & Co.
A new kind Of beer, made Of the eX-
tract of rice, has very peculiar effect.
Sometimes week elapses after drink
ing it before it causes eXhilaratIon;
then its muddling quality is unmistak-
ably shown.-Exchange.
The next time our German friends
have picnic they had better put some
of the above beer on tap and the boys
will have whole weeks notice to pre-
pare for the results.
An Ohio editor says that hay fever is
caused by kissing grass widows. A Mis-
souri, editor says it is caused by a grass
widow kissing a fellow by moonlight.
An Iowa editor says it is caused by the
fellow kissing the hired girl while she
is feeding the COW, an eastern Kansas
exchange is of the opinion that it is
caused by missing the girl and kissing
the COW.

Wausau Central: The Wausau Tele-
phone Co. now has 253 telephones in
use and applications have been made
for others which cannot be put in until
the new switch board is received and

took effect in May are proving quite
popular and have resulted in an increase

The Office of the Love house, near
Green Bay depot, was treated to new
wall paper and other Frightening
touches the past week by Ovid La
Breche, paper hanger and decorator.
The Love house is popular headquarters
for all knights of the railway when in
our city and it's wide reputation for spe-
cial hospitality and neatness from cellar
to garrett goes on undisturbed.
Rain this week has made the grass
spring up fresh and lovely about our
Centralia homes, still that is no reason
why the COWS should be pastured on
any and every thoroughfare. Funny
notions do men have when they invest
in city water works to help beautify
lawns and yards, inside and outside,
then send the f1y-covered COWS around
to chew up and tramp over the pretty
work that man and nature have accom-
plished. Hasn't our sister city come to
that stage Of progressiveness yet when
tits time to find other feeding ground
than main streets for the COW?
