A Baby Picnic.

One of the most unique soclai
gatherings of the season was the
babies picnic, last Friday, at the
home of Mrs. Will Davies, on
Cascade Avenue.
Since the Mckinley wave OF
prosperity many dear babies have
been added to our population. In
vitations were issued BY Mrs.
Davies and Mrs. Michaeis to
seventeen of the babies who. had
come to us within the past year,
to bring their parents and the
aunts who gave them the first
loving care, and form In grand
frohc.
The following are the names OF
the babies who responded to the
invitations; Robert Balch, Dallas
White, Lynn White. Stanley
Chinook, Soren johnson Ras-
.mussen, Graydon Pace, John
Chapman, Lyman Chapman, Noel
Michaels, Otto Upgren, Esther
Downer, Amy Hutchins and
Gladys Davies.
1t was very pretty sight and
many who were not guests wan
dered that way just to see the
babies; of course the kodak tiends
and reporters could not keep
away.
We often think of the baby as
one "that cryeth in the night with
no language but cry" but at
the babies picnic all was happl-
ness and sunshine, and parents
We'd one another in displaying the
beauty and fine qualities OF their
precious bits of humanity.
Someone has said the baby is a
teacher sent from God to teach us
love, sympathy. patience and self
denial. and that no home is COM
pletely furnished unless there is a
child in it.

For better love would seldom yearn

OF what from thee learn"

While the blueberry crop in
Northern Wisconsin is fairly good,
it is not up to the anticipation
earlier in the season. The low
lands seem to be the particular
source of shol tage, the cool weather
and the frosts of a belated spring
having taken effect there to a
much greater degree than imagined
before the crop commenced to
mature. On this account the
BURBERRY business is about in the
heighth of its glory. Wisconsin

are not as numerous as might be-

STORM WRECKED.
BeIdenviIIe Flooded Saturday
Night and Much Damage
Done.
Railroad Bridges, Highway Bridges,
Grain and Other Property
Destroyed,

Saturday night one OF the worst
storms Of the season swept over
this city and surrounding country.
1t was probably worse at Belden
vile than at any other point, at
least the effects of the torrent are
more noticeable there.
The lower portion of the town
was completely overflowed, the
torrent sweeping nearly every
thing before it. The little black
smith shop owned by P. J. Baker
was carried from its foundation
and lodged in the road a complete
wreck, while lumber, logs, head
ing, bolts, veneering and every
thing movable was carried down
the stream, forming one vast field
of debris.
While no lives were lost, yet
several families were compelled to
make hasty exits from their homes,
tearing that at any moment their
dwellings would be carried away
by the food.
Among the buildings vacated
/ was Mr.. C. A. Goldsmith S house,
which, it is said, was surrounded
without a moments notice, cover
ing the floor with nearly two feet
of water. Much other property
was damaged and it is reported
that many thousand feet of
veneering was damaged by the
water.
The damage done by water was
not confined to Beldenville alone.
In fact, the mischief done to that
village was but mere trife as
compared to that suffered by the
farmer in the destruction of crops.
We noticed large fields of wheat
and oats that lay fat upon the
ground. This to be regretted as
the wheat crop was so promising
before the storm. The damage
ia this respect can never be esti-
mated.
The public highway came in
next. as the washouts and the loss
of bridges are too numerous to
mention, and the loss will reach
at least $4,000 in this county
alone.
The railroad comes in for a
share in the damage caused by the
cloud burst, as three landslides
are reported to have taken place
between Ellsworth and Belden-
vile, and railroad bridge was
partly washed out one mile west
Of Beldenville.
A special train was run from
| Hudson to the washOuts near
Beldenville to connect with the
regular train from Ellsworth,
where passengers, baggage, etc.,
were transferred yesterday. A
| work train with pile driver is at
the washout repairing the bridge.
| One of the worst foods that ever
came in our midst occurred at
Downing last Sunday afternoon
Every bridge was swept away by
the torrent. Hundreds of tons OF
hay were lost and large amount
of grain was destroyed. H. c.
Cranes barn was swept down
into the woods and into pieces.
The Central tracks between here
and Glenwood are all washed out
and no trains could pass until
Monday noon. This food was the
largest that ever reached this val.

HAS ANOTHER DISCOVERY,
Edison Soon to Give the World Q
Wonderful Instrument.

Wonderful Instrument.
Thomas A. Edison is about to give to
the world another discovery as won
derful in its way as the Horoscope,
by means of which he put the X rays
to practical use in revealing the bony
structure of the body.
1T was," said he, 1.-The action of the
X ray on crystals of platinocyanide Of
barium which caused Roentgen % make
the original discovery. Immediately
afterwards discovered that the ung-
state OF calcium was more powerful,
and constructed a practical instru-
ment for utilizing the crystals in con-
nection with the X rays
The ungstate Of calcium not being
sufficiently sensitive to transform the
strange light discovered by Roentgen
into q light that would so illuminate
the interior OF the human body as to
render its most delicate tissues vis-
ible-in other words, to make it trans
parent-Mr. Edison set about to find u
crystal that would possess the requisite
quality.
He has discovered one. Its name he
will not yet reveal, saying that he is
still experimenting with it, and desires
to exhaust its possibilities before an
nouncing it to the world. BY means
Of the newly-discovered crystals Mr.
Edison can now disclose to- the eye Of
the surgeon organs and tissues that
have hitherto been seen only in the
dissecting room and on the operating
table. It's probable that when he per-
fects his new discovery the slightest de-
rangement Of the system will be re-
vealed to the doctors sight.
In speaking of his work Mr.. Edison
snid: For the last six months have
been experimenting for the production
of chemical crystals which should have
the peculiar property of giving out light
when subjected to the action of the
mysterious force called Professionally
the X rays of Roentgen."
II have found one chemical which is
more sensitive to the N-ray than any
heretofore known, but shall keep on
trying until little hope is left of find
ing anything better.

I am after there is little doubt that the
Horoscope will become an instrument
of great value to the surgeon, for by it
he will be able to make accurate dag
nosis of the internal organs"
