Beware of Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poisoning by the
use of powders sent to the victims by
mail. Ia Leavenworth, Kan, the other
day, nearly every doctor in town was
called to attend the children who had
gathered up, eaten and been made i'll
by samples of an article left at houses
by canvassers for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable to lead to danger than the
practice of using the various samples
of baking powder left at the door.
They are presented by irresponsible
parties, in appearance are not dis
tinguishable from arsenic, and indeed
in Indiana some time since one pack
age was found, after it had caused
the death Of the housewife, to have
been mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of
food or medicines offered at the door
Pure cream of tartar baking powders
sell upon their merits, and are never
peddled or sampled.

Dur CITY Fathers.

Alderman Dura Woodard made his
first appearance as a member of the
council at its last meeting. Alder
man Woodland is yet a young man,
thoughtful in appearance, conserva-
tive in action, and gives promise of
making most desirable member.
Alderman Brusenbach is one of the
most jovial members Ct the council.
That is, he has a vein of humor,
coupled with an application of finely
chosen words, which are very inspiring
when he takes the floor. He does not
laud it over his vanquished opponent,
and takes defeat good naturedly and
philosophically
Alderman Henry Mayer has made
rapid strides in his standing in the
council He is a hard worker, and
devotes a large share of his time to
the interests of his constituents, and
deserves the good opinion of his fellow
members. He scores a point quietly
but you can see by the merry twinkle
of his eye that his opponent is hors
de combaH.
Alderman Jacob never leaves any
one very long in doubt as to his posi-
tion on any subject up for discussion
Quick in action and speech, he does
not consume any unnecessary time IN
explaining his position. He is chair
man of the committee on judiciary,
and is good one.
Alderman Wel theimel is the Nestor
of the council, and was elected presi-
dent almost without opposition. He
is honest and earnest of purpose, a
stubborn fighter for what he believes
to be right, and generally manages to
get on the equitable side of every ques-
tion.
Alderman Edwards takes rank as
an ingenious member, and when he
takes the floor is very epigrammatical
in style.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1899-05-09

Alderman Burke is not given to
forensic display, but is a good worker
in committee, and votes according to
the dictates of his Judgment.
Alderman Krueger proposes to be
consulted on all matters connected
with his ward, and has given notice
accordingly. He took the floor to
emphasize his position, and will un-
doubtedly make it warm for anybody
who interferes with his prerogatives
Alderman Glaser is a deep thinker,
cannot be influenced by honeyed
words, and can be depended upon to
vote against any measure which
smacks of monopoly. He stands by
the people.
Alderman Hartwig is genial gen
tleman, good worker, and will make
his mark in the council.
Alderman Wegeman is not a speech
maker, although the council may be
surprised if ever occasion requires.
He is good business man, and it is
safe to trust him with the city's bust
ness.
Alderm an friedrich is one of the
prompt members, and always answ ers
to his name at roll call. He is Quiet
and unobtrusive, but always has his
eyes open for important business
Alderman DUNCAN has been in the
council off and on for several years
he enjoys a contretemps, and his
temper Is never rutf1ed even if things
do not go his way. 1t would be
great convenience to Alderman Duni-
gan if the council could only find some
means of moving his bailiwick little
nearer the city hall.
Mayor CRUDE hal dles the ribbons
like a veteran. He dispatches busi-
ness with rapidity, presides with suf-
ticient dignity to com mand respect,

-Bradstreet's for the week ending
May 6 says: Widespread business,
activity and heavy financial transac-
tions resulting from or consequent.
upon the large number of Industrial
combinations planned or executed
during April seem to have been largely
responsible for the heavy bank clear
ings for that month, because stock
speculation was rather quieter than
in March or the preceding months
The April clearings deserve special
notice because, though they were
smaller by per cent. than the ag-
gregate for March, owing chiefly to
the smaller number of business days
in that month, the average daily clear
ings were heavier than the like
average for the month of March. In
percentage of gan, too, the increase
shown over April a year ago, was the
heaviest noted this year, and the re-
suit is a further enlargement of the
gain reported for the calendar years
over recent preceding periods. The
aggregate bank clearings for the
month just closed were So, 266, 469, 069

Baseball.

The baseball enthusiasts who attend
ed last Sundays game at Washing
ton park between the Sacred Hearts
and the Badgers. of Milwaukee, were
considerably disappointed over the ex-
hibition. The Badgers were touted
as good team, but they proved no
match for the collegians, who won in
a canter by a score of 25 to 0. Joss
pitched his customary strong game
and allowed but three hits, while the
Badgers pitcher was batted all oyer
the lot. O'Malley, of the Sacred
Hearts, did some great hitting, having
two home runs to his credit in one
inning. The other Sacred Heart
players were also in fine form.
The Sacred Hearts and Ripons will
play at Juneau on Memorial day
Excursions will undoubtedly be run
to that city, and very large crowd
is expected to be in attendance The
Sacred Hearts stand high in the esti-
nation OF the Juneau people, and will
be given rousing reception.
A meeting of gentlemen interested
in keeping the Sacred Heart college
club here during the summer was held
at the Office of H. Wertheimer last
Monday night. John Chapman was
elected chairman and F. A Hoffman
secretary The question of fencing in
Washington park and erecting a
grand stand was considered, and A.
johnson, Il. Kronitz and VIII Thomas
were appointed committee to look
the matter up; II. Wertheimer, w.

structed to solicit subscriptions.
At meeting held on Friday even
ing, the fencing committee was in
structed to ascertain the cost of fenc-
ing, etc., and report at the next
meeting.

a deserved chastisement, and is not
slow in the perpetration of a dry joke.
Two aldermen, colleagues, got into
what promised to be "a family quar-
rel. His Honor listened patiently for
awhile, and finally called attention to
his inaugural message, wherein he
urged peace and harmony in the coun-
Gil, and said he thought even the ward
boundaries were sufficiently large to-
contain two aldermen without en-
dangering the peace of the commun-
ity. An audible smile ran around
the chamber and the incident was
closed.

FUNERAL OF W. H. pENNELL.
The Address of Rev. DIR. Clark xssssr-
day Afternoon.

The funeral Of William II. Pennen
took place yesterday afternoon at so
Evans street. There was a large attsn
dance of friends, among whom were many
Christian Endsavorers and Grand Army
men, tine deceased having been a member
Of the list and 10th Maine regiments.
The services were simple and we're con-
duoted by Rev. DIR. r. Il. Clark. Ths
burial was In Forest City cemetery.
Rev. E. NJ. Cousens made the opening
prayer and referred 20 the long suffering
and sickness OF the diseased In touch
Ing manner. Hev. DIR. Clark then spoke
briefly In euloey Of Mr. Penneli He said
that when rs years ago Mr.. Pennen han
put his name the FIRST ON the pledge a
the Christian End favor Society, he WIS
not young man, but was interested in
young people and leader among them.
That simple act resulted in MIR. Pencil
being known among thousands OF peo-
Pile and his name as the first signer Of
this pledge has since been made known
to 5000. 600 of people In all parts OF the
world.
Or. Clark said that Mr.. Penneil was
not an educated man In the sense that he
was college graduate. but he was life
long student, man of books and affairs.
His faith In God was firm even to the
last and his last words to those who sur
rounded his death bed were that this was
not the end but merely his advancement
into eternal regions where he could carry
on his work without pain and without
human weakness. DIR. Clark's touching
prayer at the conclusion OF the address
brought tears TO the eyes OF his hearers.
The Portland daily press., 1899-09-16

MIR. Michael Davitt has assumed big
task in defending the verdict Of the Drey-
fus court martial, and one that he Is not
likely to succeed in. If the public had
not been able to watch she proceedings
of the court martial from day to day and
had depended upon the statements of
prejudicsd parties for Its opinion of the
verdict, it might be possible to show
shat they had been misinformed and
had therefore gone astTay. But 1t has
itself seen the forgeries and perjuries that
were resorted to by the conspirators, 1t
has observed the undisguis d prsjudices
of the court and its refusal to admit
what would have been conclusive evil
dence of the prisoners innocence. Hence
its Judgment 10 founded on facts and Is
not likely to be shaken.
The Portland daily press., 1899-09-16

Augusta has adopted the plan of CAL
ling upon the women for advice as to the
management of the poor. at the meet
Ing Of the city government, the commit
tee on poor department, to which was
referred the petition for the appointment
of Miss Helen Hinckley as the lady visi-
tor to the alsmhouse, reported that they
deemed 1t inxepedient. They recon-
mended, however, that board OF lady
visitors to be composed of six, who will
serve without pay, be appointed and that
they consult with the overseer of the poor
on all matters. They will be expected to
visit the almshouse regularly. This was
accepted and the board appointed, con
sisting of Nils Helsn HinekIsy, Mrs. Fl.
P. MiIliken, Mrs. Arthur Parrott, Mrs.
George A. Cony, Mrs. Fred Hamlin and
Miss Stanwood. 1t would seem that in
the poor department as well as in the
schools there should be field for wom-
ans work.

To the discussion Of the probable effect
Of the pulp mills on the spruce forests
Of Maine, Mr.. Ira ii. Randall, we'll
known lumberman of Augusta, con-
tributes the interesting statement that it
takes from 10 to $50 years TO grow .
spruce tree CT commercial value for saw
logs Take lumber 20 feet in length and
3x1s 1t rsquirts century and half to
produce the trees from which 1t Is man
ufactured. 1t is a singular fact. says Mr..
Randall, that the spruce from which the
lumber of commerce is manufactured.
does not seem to flourish at elevations
under 500 feet or over 1900. Under that
elevation 1t seems to be a different tree
and above 1t becomes stunted. A large
portion of this northern Maine country
has the necessary elevation and tie spruce
tree grows to perfection. Mr.. Randall
says be Is not fearful Of an immediats
failure OF the spruce on Kannebeo waters.
The best Of the Kennebec lumber lands
are held by the following owners: NJ. q.
Shaw. Hollingsworth s. Whitney, Au.
gusta Lumber Company, ]. Manchester
Haynes, Great Northern Paper Company,
International Paper Company. Elias
Thomas, the W. Z. Hainss Syndicate, the
Coburn heirs, and Ed. Mp. Page. 1t is
said that ]. Manchester Haynes owns
some IFS. 900 acres. and that his lands are
among the pest for spruce to be found in
Ken nehec waters. 1t is thought that all
these will be cut oonssrvatively, with an
eye TO maintaining the value of their
property.
