Cigarette Smoking.

Every day, small boys may be seen
smoking the deadly cigarette. Pre-
cept and warning seem to have but
little effect and the evil grows right
under the eyes of parents, who little
realize the evil that is being wrought
in the minds and bodies of their
children. The principal of a Chicago
school gives the following as the re-
suit of his investigation:
In one school it was found that one
hundred and twenty-five bOyswe ad-
dicted to the cigarette habit. Twenty
five of these confessed that they were
too sleepy too study: thirty of them
said they were dizzy after smoking;
twenty-five could not write neatly be-
cause of their hands trembling. and
several said they felt 'shaky'' when
they walked. 1t was also shown that
the cigarette habit gradually bluntcd
the moral sensibilities of the boys.
making them deceptive, secretive and
untruthful. while very few Of them
were able to keep up with their class
mates who were not addicted to the
baneful habit.

A DULL FOURTH OF JULY.

Eagle Makes Modest Screams on Nations
Anniversary, the Hundred Twenty Third.
The Fourth for 1899 did not find
citizens of Grand Rapids and Centra-
liza celebrating the national birthday
with firing Of cannon, marching.
oratOry. athletic events, pyrotechnical
display or any other prearranged public
demonstration. 1t was every man for
himself, find your own fun or make it.
The ubiquitous small boy, however,
kept alive the spirit of '76 with Dewey
crackers and HObSon mines, allowing
none about him to forget the heritage
Of honor dearly bought by the old
veteran and brayely held by the young
soldiers and sailors of today. This
lack of any program of events in par
ticular seems to have been very
general throughout the country. only
a few cities excepted. Nothwith-
standing the quiet celebration here
there was an unusually large number
of visitors in town and all seemed to
have good time.
Lemen Bros. circus was the drawing
card in Centralia and hundreds of
teams came in from the rural sections.
well loaded with farmers and their
families, giving lively holiday ap-
pearance to our cities. The big show
tent in the afternoon was crowded to
the entrance, every seat being occupied
and some persons being turned away.
The circus was disappointing affair
and at night scarce one hundred people
went out to see it. In consequence
the canvas aggregation was enabled to
pull up stakes early and start for
Stevens Point, none regretting their
departure excepting few of the un-
sophisticated who allowed the card
shark in the animal tent to relieve
them of hard earned long green with
out value returned. This paper can in
no manner commend Lemen Bros

DANCE AT OPERA HOUSE.
The one attraction at night was a
dance in Grand Opera hall, given by
the local fire department. The event
was happy one for those in attend
ance, but the receipts were a little
short of expenses. Sixty-nine tickets
were sold.

considerable complaint Of weeds, as

TRANSFER OF GROCERY STORE.
The Poor Mans Friend" Goes Out of
Business in CentraIia.


H. Wilson Of Rice Lake, a gentle
man of long experience in the grocery
trade, is now proprietor of the busi-
ness on Cranberry street, Centralia,
which has been conducted for the last
ten years by Will Gross. Mr.. Wilson
purchased the grocery stock during
last week and took possession on Sat-
urday. He was, until recently, en-
gagged in the same business at Rice
Lake. He sold out there to come to
our busy little towns and he brought
a good portion of his stock with him
which has been added to that already
on the shelves.
Mr.. Gross has not announced his
future business plans, but he is at
present busy shipping blueberries,
having reserved the use of one of the
back rooms in his former store until
the season closes.
Mr.. Wilson has moved his family
into the Bulgrin house, first ward of
Centralia. We wish him all success
and bid him welcome in our midst.
