The City Council has Signifed its
intention of using eight arc lights
when our new Electric plant is put in.
This plant will be far the finest in
the country, as Ellsworth has simply

Prescott Tribune.
River Falls is not one of your slow
going cities that will be satisfied with
a twenty-fve-years- behind the times
lighting system. Weare conservative,
it is true, but thoroughly in earnest.
While we are satisfied with gas so
far as it goes, yet there is a strong
sentiment for a more extended system
of electric lights owned and controlled
by this city; and long before the
waters of the Kinnicklnnic dry up,
you will see the city in possession Of
the Powell's falls, with an electric
lighting and pun ping station.

Again the northern sections of the
state has been visited by disastrous
forests fires, accompanied by the
usual loss of life and property and he
wholesale destruction of our rapidly
depleting forests. 1t will now be in
order for the legislature to make laws
more stringent than before against
the setting of out of door fires which
are never enforced. So long as lum-
bermen are permitted to denude the
northern country of vast sections of
its timber leaving the slashings to dry
and become burning infernos during
the dry season, just so long must we
expect to have these periodical fires
with all the terrible consequences;
and no laws no matter how stringent
Will prevent them, as the most of
them have there origin IN burning
cinders from passing locomotives.
very good suggestion is found in
an exchange which would compel
lumbermen to destroy the waste
chopings and become responsible for
the safety of their unmarketable
timber and underground which would
in ime replete the ground with new
forests to take the place OF those
destroyed by hem and at the same
time prevent the spread of dreaded
forest fires.

Dentists and Doctors Talk of Drop

There seems little doubt that the
deathknell of cocaine-at least for an
aesthetic purposes-has been sounded.
Dentists of the better class are decryIng
its use, except most sparingly-indeed
positive alarm is felt by the profession
over some of the results Of this drug,
which for SO long has been regarded as
perfectly safe.
It's qualities have never been thor
oughly understood. It's use as q stiInu-
liant by the Indians Of Peru and Bolivia
was known, but only recently has the
attention of scientists been called to its
ultimate effect upon its deyotees in
those countries. Its use relieves them
of the feelings of fatigue and hunger
and nerves them for mountain climb
ing but the habit enslaves its victim,
undermining and eventually wrecking
his constitution
In this country the most deplorable
result of administration of cocaine has
been the number of persons who, hav-
ing used it as medicine, became adj
dicted to its use as narcotic. Those
who still cling to the drug are taking
every precaution to prevent this posi-
bility. Injection into the tissues of the
gums has boen abandoned altogether

The Milk Question.

Kerr, in The British Medical Journal,
argues that there are reasons for sup
posing that when fresh milk is ingested
the living cells are absorbed at once,
without any process of digestion, enter
the blood stream and are utilized in
building up the tissues. The caseln OF
the milk is digested in the usual way of
other albuminoids by the gastric juice
and absorbed as peptone, and there is
also absorption of serum albumen by
osmosis In the boiling of milk the
chemical result is to kill all the living
cells and to coaguIate all the albuminoid
constituents, and the milk after boiling
is thicker than before. The physiolog-
zeal results are all that the constituents
of milk must be digested before it can
be absorbed into the system and there
fore there is a distinct loss of utility in
the milk because the living cells Of
fresh milk do not enter into the circula-
ton direct as living protoplasm and
build up the tissues direct, as they
would do in fresh, unboiled milk. In
practice it has been noticed that there
is a distinctly appreclably lowered Vi
talitv in infants which are fed on milk
that has been boiled-that is, the proc
ess of absorption is more delayed and
the quantity of milk required is posi-
lively larger for the same amount of
growth and nourishment OF the child
than is the case when fed on fresh milk.

ing of the United Democratic Club in the

posed of and a committee appointed TO
arrange for a ratification meeting to be
held in that hall on October 90 A num-
ber of well known speakers will address
the gathering. This is the commitlee:-

placed in the clubhouse Thursday The

appoint ed:-Peter Ehrhart, Edward What
len, John Flemming, Timothy Aaron and
Joseph Welsh.
Edgar Vreeland impressed upon the
members the necessity of getting every
Democrat out TO register. George En-
mons, who was for three years Secretary
of the Z. S. Grant Association, said that
he had been Republican since he could
vote but was now working in the inter
ests of the Democratic party. August

her.
The scene in the court room during the
hearing was so comical that at times,

Eighth Ward Ructions.

The factions in the Eighth Ward had a
fierce fight at their primary, No. 15l
Monticello avenue, last night. Harsh
words were used alleged Questionable
methods were employed, and the oppe-
ne1t all but came TO acts OF violence. The
fight was between Abraham Wilson, who
wants 20 be reelected treeholder from

lican ring crowd. headed by John IT.

and the obedient servant of the Dickinson
won hands down. F'reehelder Wilson
adopted desperate expedients to defeat
the regular ticket. Daring the evening he
had three separate tickets out In the
early hours of the primary he decided
that he could not carry the Congressional
and county convention delegates, SO he
devoted all his efforts to secure
the FreeheIder convention delegates and
insure his own nomination.
While the voting was al its height Free
holder Wilson, who was the most active
of the electioneers. had a lively tilt with
John Vile, OF the Weastellfaction. Wilson
wanted to swear in several voters who
had not registered and Vile objected.
Wilson made accusations He declared
that he was not getting a square deal.
Vile retorted that if he thought he was
stufIing the ballot box he had better call
in an officer and have him, Vile arrested.
Friends interfered before the quarrel
went any further. Wilson was not permit
ted to swear in any voters, although the
practice prevailed throughout the city
When the primaries opened Wilson had
out a straight ticket, headed by James
Allerdice- He saw, early in the evening,
that the ticket was not winning many
friends, SO he adopted the xetllod Of
posting his Freeholder delegates on the
Weasrell ticket. That took no better, and
most of the tickets that were fixed then
were destroyed.
