LAS yet, however, Toledo has not
produced a great commanding medical
genius, though there have lived and
worked here two men near approach

doubt, were the strongest medical
men who ever resided within the
borders of the city. They were not
fully appreciated when with US, but
after all, this is the fate accorded
always to men Of their stamp. The
time is sure to come when most of us
will be forgotten. not so, however,

that the profession here will consider

Judge Webb and Congressman Minor
Send Regrets.

MesSrs. Judge Chas. NJ. Webb and
Congressman E. S. Minor, who were
invited to attend the Merchant S
banquet given in Milwaukee on the
oath of February in honor Of Joseph
'. Quarles, United States senator
elect, were unable to attend and sent
the following regrets:
Judge Charles NJ. Webb: | have
received your invitation to be present
at a banquet to be given to the Hon.
Joseph V. Quarles, United States
SenatOr-elect, on the evening of the
24th inst. [ regret to say that official
duties, already appointed, will pre-
vent my attendance on the occasion
referred to, but for which [ would be
present. and would gladly unite with
you and others in doing we'll merited
honor to Mr.. Quarles.
Congressman E. S. Minor: I have
received your very kind and thought
full invitation to be present at a ban
quet to be given to the Hon. Joseph
Y. Quarles, senatOr-elect, by your as
sOciatiOn on the 24th inst.
| desire TO thank you for this court
eSy and to say that but two reasons
intervene to prevent my enjoying with
you the pleasures of being present as a
partaker of the feast of good things
and good fellowship that are certain
to reign supreme.
First, / am a thousand miles away,
applying myself closely to business
that is pressing for consideration in
the closing hours Of the Fifty-ffth
congress.
Second, Our state has interests Of
Importance now pending, demanding
attention from all it's representatives;
absence from our post would mean
neglect of duty, and loss to Wiscon-
sin.
I wish to congratulate your assOcia-
tion on it's generosity and wisdom in
rendering this banQpet to SO hOnOred
a guest as is the senatOr-elect. Sir,
your organization does honor to itself

you will hear me JOIN in three cheers
for Joe V. Quarles, the true friend,
the loyal and patriotic citizen and the
peoples chosen senator.

DR., MCEIWee Coming,

During the past three years the
newspapers at Tomah, Sparta, Viro-
qua and elsewhere have published
accounts Of the wonderful success DR..
McElWee has had curing sick people
who were regarded as inCurable. One
of the most noted cases is that of a
prominent citizen and official of
TOmah who had been treated by the
leading physicians in Milwaukee, La
Crosse and at home, and who was eX-
pected to live not longer than a few
weeks. 1t is stated upon unQueStiOn-
able authority, that he gained four
teen pounds within the first month
that he treated with DR.. McElWee,
and never suffered moment after the
first dose Of his medicine. The
trouble was believed by other doctors
to be ulcer or cancer Of his stomach
but DR.. McElWee soon convinced them
of their error. In TOmah and these
other towns it is difficult to get a
consultation with DR.. McElWee, SO
fully is his time taken by those seek
ing to get his advice. The DR.. lives
in Madison and is not to be ClasSed
with many irresponsible travelling
physicians who have no permanent
abiding places. No doubt the chron-
ically ailing of Grand Rapids and
vicinity will welcome the opportunity
to consult such an eminent physician
as is offered when the doctor visits
this city on next Sunday, the fifth
inst at the Witter House.

To Succeed EIIarSon.

There is an unconirmed report here
to the effect that August Zinn, of
Milwaukee, will succeed James T..
Ellarson as state fish and game war
den. Mr.. Ellarson's term expires this
spring, and for some time past the tip
has been in political circles that he
would not be reappointed. Gov. Sco-
field, Of course, is not here so that
official confirmation cannot be OBJ
tained for the story, but the rumor is
being given strong credence in politi-
cal circles and the chances now seem
good that Mr.. Zinn will obtain the
place. Up to the time of his election
to the assembly, Mr.. Zinn was deputy
game warden for Milwaukee county.

excess over imports then was heavy.
Failures are smaller than last year,
and smaller than in either of six years
past. Stocks are stronger, the average
for the active railway securities being
a little higher, and for Trusts much
more owing to the extraordinary ad-
vance of $3.50 in tobacco. Payments
through exchanges show a greater
volume Of business than ever before
at this season, and nearly one-half
larger than in the best Of previous
years. The Outgo of breadstuffS and
cotton continues heavy. But there
are some who fear that such prosperity
cannot last.

COMING TO WISCONSIN.
T.. F. J. MolIer Now In Denmark Securing
immlgrants,

information has been received here
Of the arrival at Copenhagen Of
Christian Z. J. Moller, a former con-
sui for Denmark, and a resident of
this city. Mr.. Moller is in Europe in
the interests of a plan for a settle
ment of Central Wisconsin With i'm
migrants from Sweden, Norway,
Holland, Denmark and Upper Ger
many. He represents James L. Gates
and Julius Jungblut Of this city. It
is said that this plan is part of the
movement to build a railroad from
the southeastern part of Wisconsin
to West Superior, for which Congress-
man J. j. Jenkins is trying to secure
a right-of- way through the Court
OreilleS Indian reservation.
Mr.. Gates is now in the East in the
interest of the new railroad. Mr..
Jungblut, when seen at his residence
yesterday declined to say anything
about the construction of the railroad
other than that he believed the build
ing of it would furnish a direct line
from Chicago to West Superior and
Duluth.
The line, if built, is to run through
Adams, Wood, Clark and Chippewa
counties. This is section from which
most of the heavy timber has been
removed. They have issued over 10000
state maps and a quantity Of litera-
ture based largely upon Prof. W. A.
Henry's "Handbook for the Home
seeker" in which the professor, who
is dean Of agriculture at the Univer-
Sity Of Wisconsin, gives a good deal
of interesting information upon the
climatic and soil conditions of the
state. The land is to be offered for
sale in parcels of eighty acres or more
at from s. to $40 an acre. 1t is
especially suitable for grazing land.
The Union Construction company,
recently formed, with Milwaukee men
among it's officers, and the object Of
which is said to be to build a railroad
has no connection with the line that
is to tap this section, according to the
promoters milwaukee, Sentinel.

The New Central Hotel.

Just two weeks ago today occurred
the transfer of the Central hotel
property in this city to a new manage
ment. Perhaps no persons have been
buster during that period than land
lord and landlady, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
II. Smith, but the results Of their en-
terpriSe are evident in cleanly shelves,
Whitened walls, and an air of changed
conditions and improvements being
made in almost every department of
this popular home for transients.
EX-Sheriff Smith has taken hold of
| the helm with progressive hand and
is setting forth quality Of courteous
and painStaking attention to the COM
fort and accommodations of his guests
that indicates he has the right notions
of hotel keeping. The cuisine and
tables, under special direction of Mrs.
Smith, are already being heard from
in particularly COmmendatOry terms
for their dainty and varied ensemble
of palatable provisions. We are glad
to note that all is going nicely at the
New Central and that the proprietor
is well pleased with his venture thus
far.
Among changes already made in the
house, now in process Of tranSfOrma-
alton, or ordered for early completion
are the following:
The room in the northwest corner
Of the building, just off the office and
leading from Front street, will be
nicely papered and fitted up for a
ladies waiting parl0r, as originally
intended when the house was built
1t has been in use as a sample room.
A piano placed herein has proven an
attractive feature.
Two large new sample rooms, we'll
lighted and convenient for the hand
ling of trunks in and out have been
added.
a new 0tfice desk, counter and other
fixtures are expected soon, as well as
large mirror for the washroom.
The kitchen will be treated to a
uew hardwood floor. The cook has a
large new brOiler and other convenient
additions to the working apparatus.
A cosy pastry room handy to the
kitchen is late change under the
Smith regime that makes work lighter
where the art of cookery is carried on
and increased the capacity of these
departments.
Storm Railways and connecting
ways, new part to the old, are being
finished up in tirSt-clasS style, and
number of electric lights have been
scattered about the place in addition
to those formerly used. The toilet
rooms on both floors will be perfected
aud completed. Other improvements
are contemplated for the near future
that indicates a tendency toward
modern development and shows that
this hostelry has ambitions to con-
tinue in rank as among the leaders in
this section. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
have got a hotel chats just like home,
where they keep the rose Of order
always in bloom.

particular set of readers were adopted
but selections from many were made
and the book best adapted to each
grade was secured. Where there are
divisions Of the grades a different
book has been adopted for each divis-
ion SO that they might be exchanged
and the greatest possible variety
secured.
Members of the botany class are
training their powers of observation
on stems and buds this week. In this
work there is need of about three
more compound microscopes which
another year is expected to bring
| forth.
Miss Marion Ellison, teacher al
South Centralia, taught on Monday
but intends in the near future to visit
her grades of work in the other
Centralia schools.

Pope Leo Kill Before the BIograph.

Despite his dislike to be photo
graphed, Pope Leo NIII has per-
mitted himself to be pictured by the
biOgraph, and a number of the most
interesting portraits will be found in
the March Ladies' Home Journal.
They show the venerable Pontiff in
the grounds of the Vatican, passing
along his fayorite walks and drives,
attended by his secretary, guards or
members of his household. The
pictures are exceedingly interesting
in showing the Pope as he lives at the
Vatican, and his surroundings, and
are doubly valuable because they are
the first pictures that have been made
of the Pope in a great many years.

port and patronage of all, which will
make the coming event happy social
meeting. Watch for bills Saturday.
