THE STICKEN CITY.


On the first page of today's CENSoF
very good resume is given of the fatal
ties occurring at New Richmond
Death, suffering, misery, destruction OF
homes, business and public interests are
almost beyond comprehension Over
one hundred have been rescued from the
ruins and buried and more remains will
doubtless be found The manned list
is long one. In financial way the
loss is over half a million.
Up to date fifty thousand aid has been
given and thorough organization of
the state is to be effected for the purpose
of giving the discouraged residents a
new start in life. The aim will be to
raise 5000, 600, or if possible. The
cause is worthy one

Ira Hurlbut raises great din
through his paper, the Prairie du CHEN
Union, because the council of that beau
tiful Prairie city" refuse to restrict the
liberties of the humble bossy COW, and
permits her, as in the good old days of
yore, to roam the streets at will We
fear Ira has no ear for music. What's
more likely to soothe a fellow to peace
full slumber than the nightly tinkle of a
chorus of cow-bells as the bossy wearers
Craze meath the window of a well-regu-
lated city hostelry? Few are the towns
where hotel keepers are able to provide
such entertainment for weary guests.
Stop your kicking, Ira.

could not turn over in De6 alone. After
using two bottles of Elec trio BitSers, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work. This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures ner-
