heavy iron and steel interests centered
in Cleveland were thrown into cOmmO
ton by the breaking up Of the steel
pool They generally hold that the
recent events and the fact that the
bottom has dropped out of the bust
ness, will make it necessary to cut
the wages Of workmen from the min
ers up. At the same time there is a
feeling that business will adjust itself
on a new basis and be stimulated by
the recent upheavals. Cleveland deal
ers deny that the price Of rails has
gone below SIT. The Cleveland Rolling
Mill company, named as a member Of
the pool, is such merely by subsidy, no
rails having been made by it for sew
eral years.

Commercial hotel, Centralia, died Sat-
urday morning last, Of pneumonia, after
a short illness. Russell was taken sick
on Monday, January 18th, and in few

ten years of age, and a splendid little
workman always busted in doing chores
for his father, to whom he rendered
considerable assistance. Those willing
young hands are at rest with their
Maker, and the strong parental hopes
of bright future tor the child are
blighted as in day by the stern hand
of death. The Potter household is en-
shrouded in sadness. Funeral services

1t is with considerable sorrow that We
note the death of Anna Dokka, the
little daughter of John Dokka. She
bad been suffering from severe throat
trouble and choked to death on Thurs
day night last. She was a bright little
girl and dearly beloved by all who
knew her and her parents have the
sympathy of all. The funeral services
were held at the house, Rev Reynolds
being present.

little baby girl. The baby is well but
the motheris sick with measles.
Measles has a start here among the
children Of Eliza Cleveland.
How careful we should be in taking
medicine was again brought to our
minds, by one of our new settlers, Mr.
E. T. Deyo taking an over dose of
some medicine that contained poison
He suffered very much but is now
some better.
Port Edwards has had, we think,
more than its share of sorrow the last
week. John Christensen lost his oldest
daughter Vergetta in case of diphtheria
She will be greatly missed as she was at
an age which filed place in the house
that will forever remain vacant. The
parents have the sympathy Of all in
their loss of such dear little girl
There were no funeral services. The
body was inferred in the coolest of
ways which makes it all the harder to
bear.
John Christensen's little boy is now
down with the diphtheria.
On account of the measles, diptheria,
etc, the health officers have closed the
school for time.

For Duty on Cranberries.

Senator Villas has presented in the
senate at Washington a petition OF
the Wisconsin Cranberry Association,
asking duty on foreign imported cram
berries. Said memorial to congress was
adopted by the association at its meeting
held in this city Jan. y, 1897, and read
as follows:
Whereas the cranberry industry is
injured by the tariff imposed on that
fruit by Canada; and also by the i'm
portation Of the European cranberry
into this country free of duty under the
name ellington berries"
Therefore be it resolved that it is
the conviction Of this association that
the European Cranberry should be
included in our next tariff schedule,
and that a reciprocity trade treaty with
Canada should open up that country
to the free importation of our berries.
Be it further resolved that copies of
this resolution be sent to our repre-
sentatives in Congress requesting them
to secure if possible the desired
legislation.

VESPER.

Our diagnosis of two of the "mild"
cases of illness mentioned last week was
nearly as wide of the mark as if we had
been physicians in good standing. The
cases Of P. J. Flanagan and Frank
Swaricek developed into severe cases of
measles ard they will not be out in
few days as we predicted.
This entire neighborhood is having a
most measley time as one Of the results
of a measley masquerade ball given two
weeks ago. If that ball was as prolific
Of amusement as it was of measles, the
participants must have had a measley
good time. As a result of the wide
spread measley condition now existing
the schools in the Cahill and Cole dis
tricts are closed for two weeks. Miss
White, teacher in the former district,
and large percentage of the scholars
are down with the disease. This is
measley sort of an Item but-what
would you? The subject is measley.
We beg to assure readers oft that there
is no danger of their contracting the
disease by reading 1t though it be fla
vored and punctuated with measles.

A Destructive Fire at Babcock

AT about ten o'clock Sunday morning
the large home Of Mrs. L. A. Law, of
Babcock, was completely DESTROYED by
fire. 1t was comparatively a new
house, being built about seven years
ago, and was the largest and finest
residence in Babcock. 1t contained
ten rooms, besides closets, all modern
conveniences and was furnished finely.
Four rooms were occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ramsey, in which part the fire
originated, caused it is thought by de-
fective fue. The balance of the home
was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Law and
family. The greater part of contents
were destroyed. There were many
willing hands helping, the cold morn
ing was SO severe that all suffered with
frost bitten ears, faces, hands and feet
The loss is very hard indeed, Mr.
Ramsey having no insurance at ALL
Mrs. Law carried a small amount of
insurance on home and goods. x
