At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable

SHE DID NOT RUN AWAY.
So Says Ray Lathrop, Young Kenosha
Girl Who Spent Several Days in Racine.

f. Kenosha girls seem TO be drawn to
Racine by some hidden force, which
no one has as yet been able 20 account
for. Two months ago two young Keno
sha girls were returned by the police
here to relatives in Southport. Now
there is another girl in the custody of
the police. Her name is Ray Lathrop.
The local police were notified to look
her up as she had left her home in Ke-
nosha to visit Olga Christensen resid-
ing on Huron street She had been
given permission to remain until last
Monday, but when she failed to return
her relatives thought something was
wrong.
Officer Schumacher went to the home
of Olga Christianson this forenoon and
brought Ray to the Office, where she
remained until Officer O'Hare came
after her this afternoon. She is only
IA years of age and good looking. A
News reporter had long conversation
with her, and to him she stated that
she had not run away. She had been
given permission last Saturday to come
to this city and promised to return on
Monday. She liked it so well that on
Sunday she wrote a letter home telling
her folks that she wanted to stay Ion

time here she said " Yes, | have had a
good time. I've caught as many as
half dozen fellows. | don't care if
they do take me back. did not run

Monday. My parents did not care if
I stayed, until then, but nay big sister is

RABBITS FEET HOODOO.
"a Tale of Vice." or Now You've Got II
and Now You Haven't.

A couple of young Nimrods took to
the woods Friday morning with theig
guns on shoulder and all the parapher-
MALTA of hunting trip. They had not
gone far before game was sighted anG
after several shots five large, fine rab~
bits were lying cold and stiff in death
at the bottom of their wagon. En-
couraged by the success which had
met their efforts they prosecuted their
search beyond the limits of Benton.
Here, near the road, they espied fine
grove. Anticipating further captures
they tethered their steed to an OUT
standing tree and entered the wood
When we'll in, however, they were
confronted by stalWart youth in an
old army jacket and with a musket
thrown over his arm. Stepping up to
them the stranger advised them that,
as shooting was prohibited in those
premises, they had better walk. After
deliberately sizing up the man the
fellows concluded to act on his PROPOSE
ton, which they did at once, and un-
hitching their horse soon made them
selves scarce. The thought of the fine
game lying in the wagon compensated
them for their pains. Five good sized
rabbits was good enough haul for one
half days work
Impelled by the thought they turned
to survey their plumber. What! Bat
we won't repeat it, If that blue
jacket had been about then they
wouldn't have done thing to him, oh,
no! They wouldn't have PLAYED shin
ny or anything with him, oh, no. They
wouldn't have planted any potatoes ON
his face, of course not. But what was
the use. He wasn't there, neither were
the rabbits.

LECTURES WE'RE A SUCCESS.
The Last of the Chandler Lectures Heard
by Good Crowd.

The second and last of Prof. Willard
E. Chambers lectures on the late civil
war was delivered at Rhode opera
house Friday evening. 1t was attend
ed by a crowd about the same size as
that which attended Thursday hight.
The attendance was what might be
considered good.
The lecturer took up the theme
where he had left it the night before
and carried Grant through from
Gettysburg to Richmond, and Sherman
by way of Atlanta to the sea and along
the coast to Richmond, which was the
completion of the war.
The professor brought out several
new features and told in most enter
tanning and instructive manner all that
these campaigns meant. Here and
there little side lights were thrown on
the condition of the south and the
present method of honoring Memorial
day. Several new facts were brought
forward which we're surprise to the
lecturers auditors. The professor
shows most careful study and prepare
ton, his language being very clear.
The same quartette which sang
Thursday evening interspersed the
lecture with a number Of the we'll
known war songs which fitted the oc-
casion. Miss Marie Heating read the
lines of Shcridan's Ride" most elo-
quently and stirred the audience to
very hearty applause.
After the lecture M. II. Bacon
thanked the public for it's support of
the lectures and especially commended
the public school teachers for their
lively interest and co operation.
The proceeds Of the lectures were
figured up this morning and it was
found that both the post and Mr.
Chandler had received satisfactory
returns.
Mr.. McKune very kindly furnished q
piano for the occasion, for which serv-
ice the G.. A. r. desires to express
their sincere thanks.

A healthy woman IS woman
with healthy mucous membranes. The
mucous membranes line the whole
body, every organ in the body. The
slightest catarrh of one of these mem
branes produces languor, sallow skin,
listless eye, and weakening discharges.
Mrs. Alvina Hanenkrat, Rib Falls,
Wis, in recent letter to DR.. Hartman,
says:" was troubled for ten years
with chronic catarrh. used Pe-ru-na
for about eight months, and must say
that I am perfectly cured of the dis
ease. It will be two years next June
since I was cured, and have not been

Greetings.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times. Once is not enough. If,
however, they be persons of distinc-
ton, they embrace and kiss one an
other several times, and also kiss
their own hands. In Turkey the sa-
lutte is to place the hand upon the
breast and bow, which is both grace
full and appropriate.
In Burma when a man meets a
woman he puts his nose and his
mouth close to her cheek and draws
a long breath, as if inhaling deli
cious perfume. He does not kiss her
cheek, strange to say. A man is
greeted in exactly the same way.
In the greater part of Germany
it is considered an act of politeness,
not of gallantry, for man to kiss
a woman's hand. In Italy that priv
ilege is allowed only to near rela-
tives, while in Russia it is extended
to kissing the forehead.
The men of continental Europe
have a custom that would seem
queer, not to say laughable, here.
They greet one another with kiss,
if they be friends, not on the cheek,
but right on the lips. - Harpers

The Conductivity of the Earth.

One of the fallacies handed down
from days that are prehistoric with
respect to modern electricity is that
the earth is an excellent conductor.
This error was propagated in the
earlier books on electricity, and even
at the present time is widely dis
seminated. DR.. Louis Bell, in an
article in The American Electrician,
demonstrates that instead of the
conductivity of the earth being per
feet it is actually SO poor as to be
practically insignificant except In
the case of very high voltage or
very minute currents, and that while
the earth return may continue to
be advantageously employed in tele-
graphic work it is useless under
existing conditions for power service
and harmful when forming part OK
an electric railway circuit.

VERY MUCH SCARED.
Charles Toner and Family Get Quite a
Bad Fright

| Charles Toner, who lives in the town
of Pleasant Prairie, thought he had
lost his 6-year-old son Friday, and it
caused the greatest: fright the family
has ever experienced. 1t happened in
this way: Mr.. Toner had hired a new
man about the place and on Friday he,
(Mr. Toner) and the family except this
small boy came to town. When they
returned home early in the afternoon
they could find no trace of either the
man or the boy. They searched all
over the premises but not trace could
be seen, found or heard of. This
frightened everybody in the household,
and they all turned out and secured
around among all the neighbors to see
if they had seen or. heard anything of
the two. Nobody had. Finally Mr.!
Toner arrived at the conclusion that
the man had taken the boy and skipped
the country. So he went to Truesdell
to see if any trace could be found there
of the clipping couple. The station
agent had seen no such people, and so
he was cautioned to keep sharp look =
out for any such. Then he went back
home. When he got there along about
1880 o'clock the man and the boy were
both there, safe and sound.
The explanation of the whole
scare was that while the family was
gone the man thought Mr.. Toner'S
cattle had broken through fence and
strayed away. he went in search of
them and the boy went with him.
They found break in fence leading
into the old Durkee farm, so they went
through and soon discovered that
there was another, break into the old
Peter Lippert.. farm. They went
through that and into the woods be-
yond, and finding no cattle soon found
they were lost. They wandered about
for some hours, before they found their
way out, but when they did they went
straight home. When they got home
they found the cattle all in the barn
yard. They had not strayed away at
all. In reality it was all double
scare, which had happy ending.

never done so, and explained as fol

band to milk the goat. This animal
was, however, unused to any one
but the woman herself, and the flag
man, to save trouble, dressed in his
wife's clothes to deceive the goat.
A shril1 whistle reminded him of
his duties, and he saluted the pass

The Story of Soldier.
From the Transcript, Peoria, III.

No man is better known and liked in that
rich tier Of Illinois counties, Of which Peoria
is the centre, than genial Chester 5. Harrlng
ton, of Princeville, Ill. For many years Mr.
Harrington has travelled through the country
on profitable journeys as an 1tInerant mer'
chant, and everywhere he goes he is given Q
hearty welcome by the people who depend
upon his visits for the purchase of the neceS-
saries, and some of the luxuries, Of life.
Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war,
and from this fact is made the remarkable
experience which he related at the Trans
crypt Office recently. His story, telling OF
the evils of which the Civil War was but
the beginning in his own, and in thousands
of ether cases, was as follows:
q i served three years in the 124th Illinois,
enlisting at Kewanee, I'll. | was in Libby
Prison, and suffered like many another North
ern soldier. Until recently | was member
of the Princeville Post, of the GAR.
"The strain of army life did its work in
undermining my health, although the col
lapse did not come for years. For some time
[ suffered from general debility and nervous
ness, so badly that could not sleep. For
fifteen years my sleep was completely broken
up. Indigestion, resulted and my misery in
creased. My eyes began to fail, and as my
body lost vitality my mind seemed to give
way also. [ could scarcely remember events
that happened but few weeks before. y

the greater part of this time, and there were
times when I could rot get ,pp atal1. MY

me failed to give me any relief.

avail. Finally, having redd ARTICLES regard
ing cures that had been effected by DR.. Will

to try them. That was in 1896 I bought

continued it right along ever since in excel

"Let me tell you remarkable thing that
was side issue, but valuable gain to me.
I found that while was taking Dr. vii

smoking habit, which had been formed when
| was a boy, six years old, and which had

The term grenadier was original
~ bestowed on a soldier whose du-

AS the duty was excessively danger
