The life of Finley Peter Dunno is
a striking illustration OF the posi-
bilities this country affords to young
men who are gifted with q certain
amount OF literary ability. and es-
peciallY so when the writer is tinged
with vein of humor. Mr. Finley
but short time ago was only an or
binary reporter on Chicago news
paper. Today he is one of the best
known writer's in America among the
lovers of light literature. His tai.
ent for writing the 'Dooley" papers
was accidentally developed, for which
he is indebted to an old friend il,
Chicago, James McGarry, who has a
droll way Of relating any little Incl.
dent which may interest him. Finley
was a frequent visitor at McGarry s
establishment, and listened with de-
light to the Irishman's ludlcrous
comments on the American Spanish
war. His imitation of McGarry has
earned for him both wealth and rep
utation.

REPORTS of legislative committees
for Or against bills referred to them
for investigation should not be &C
cepted by the members of any legisla-
tive body as positive guide by
which to determine their votes. He
who does not investigate for himself
but goes it blind on the strength OF
committee report, which is not in
frequently governed by selfish inter
ests, is certainly guilty of palpable
violation of his oath of Office. AS
semblyman Rusk has declared his
intention hereafter to be governed by
his own judgment. The Vernon
County Censor extolls the position
taken by Assemblyman Rusk as re,
quiring more than ordinary courage.
The gentleman will do no more than
his bounden duty.

The Chippewa Herald is in the
throes of preliminary campaign,
and it is booming General Griffin for
the nomination for the governorship
on the Republican state ticket in
1900. General Griffin is an elegant
gentleman, and has received many
honors at the hands of his party,
but isn't it a little too early to com
mence the building of the next state
ticket? The newspapers as well as
the people are entitled to little re-
creation after the arduous labors Of
the last campaign.

The Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance company, Of Milwaukee, is
to large extent philanthropic III its
work, and perhaps confers as much
benefit on the widows and orphans
or Its patrons as m st of the chart
table institutions do in general
sense. The proposition to tax 1t to
the tune Of $2SO,COO a year seems
a little excessive, to say the least.
Such drastic legislation might be the
means OF compelling the company

THE legislature is entitled to very
severe criticism for passing d bill
queerly entitled the Interstate park
bill. An appropriation of Sc, 800
was made out of the state treas
ury with which to purchase strip
OF rocky land lying along the ST.
CrOix river. which is considered as
having no intrinsic value It is a
barren, stony piece of land, and
might be utilized in some manner bv
the railroad company whose line
runs through Taylor Falls, Mimi.
But there is little probability that
Governor Scoheld will give it his ap-
prevail.

WEDNESDAY last was a red-letter
day in the senate, and nearly $3.50
600 additional appropriations were
rushed through on final passage.
For buildings and improvements at
the university, $15l, 900; additions
to veterans home, Waupaca, $35,-
600; doubling appropriation to
high schools, 100000; increase for
teachers institutes, $4,000; trans
portation for fish car and employees,
$4,000 annually; library and sum-
mer schools, So, 500 annually, all of
which must be very gratifying to the
people who are compelled to foot the
bills.

THE attorney general has given it
as his opinion that the action of the
legislature in abolishing the state
land office Is unconstitutional. That
does not necessarily make it so. The
chronic office-holder dies hard, and
has undoubtedly touched sympa-
thetic chord in the breast of the at
torney general. Let the law be sent
to the governor for his approval.

Poisoned by Grip.

It is an awful thing to feel that
the blood that goes coursing
through your veins on it's mission
of feeding, building up and
strengthening your nerves,
brain, muscles, bones and sinews,
may be polluted with subtle
and deadly poison which only
awaits an opportunity to strike
a deadly blow to your health. and
possibly to your life.
Everyone who has had the
grip, and has taken the pains to
thoroughly cleanse the system
of the poisons which the ter
rible disease creates in the blood,
is having just that experience.
The hour when the blow will
come may not be known; but
that it is surely coming there is
no room for doubt.
Do not wait until it is too late
before you begin to fight this
dreaded poison. Begin now,
and begin with a remedy that is
sure to help you. DR.. Miles
Nervine is an antidote for grip
poisons. 1t strengthens and in
vigorates the nerves and gives
them the power to search out
and kill the germs of disease.
It whets the appetite, aids diges-
ton and makes new, rich blood
to take the place Of the poisoned
products that are driven off.
"After a very severe attack OF
LaGrippe I found myself suffer
ing from the aggravated heart
trouble. I had palpitation. short
ness of breath and experienced
a dull pain and smothering feel
ing in left breast. l was very
nervous and restless and could
sleep but little day or night.

vine, and received so much help
from it that I followed every
dose with DR.. Miles New Heart
