A party of Two Rivers gentlemen,
namely, John Klein, Frank Eggers, VIM.
Klenke, F. Dicke and E. E. Kirk came
up from Two Rivers in skiffs on Sunday.
OF course we don't know how many miles
they carried their boats, so we'll take
their word for it that that they worked
hard in the shallow places This is the
first time in years that such trip has
been made and if the creek could only
be persuaded to be little deeper at all
times, we could have boat ride once in
while anyway.
Another of the landmarks in our vii
lage is now gone which was the scene of
great deal of excitement last fall 1t
is the old barn on the Bahls' homestead,
the same into which the old gentleman
was lured and so foully murdered. 1t

THERE is an excellent prospect that the
Wisconsin Central coal docks in this city
will pass into the hands of the Wiscon-
sin Central. Judge Seaman this week
entered an order for canceling the lease
of the property upon which the Hocks
are built upon the payment by the Cen
trail to the assignee of $50, 900. That will
probably mean an independent coal com
pany.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or infammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain Pain Balm
would cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimo-
ny to this statement. One application
relieves the pain, and this quick relief
which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. For sale by Henry Hin

SITTING OUT TREES.
They Should he Planted a LITTLE
Desper Then They Grew In the
Nursery and Well Mulched.

In selecting q site for an orchard .
northeast slope should, if possible, be
chosen a southwest slope is the
worst location, as the trees are liable
TO sun 8cald both summer and winter.
To protect the young trees from sun
scald, cornstalks may be tied loosely
around the trees up to the lowest
branches. The ground should be
ploWed, well fitted and marked off into
squares with a string or wire, rs feet
each way. After most of the leaves
have fallen is a good time to set out
the trees, and what leaves remain
should be stripped off so as to give
the roots all the chance possible. The
trees should be obtained from the
nearest nursery, and four Of kind
are enough for home use, two of a
kind being planted this fall and two of
similar variety planted next fall.
Afterssthe second planting blossoms
the trees should be stripped of their
blossoms in an effort to have one-half
of the trees bear each year. AS a rule,
trees bear heavily once in two years.
Summer, fall and winter apple trees
should be selected of both the sour
and sweet varieties, SO that apples
may be had from late summer until
spring. In. setting the trees the varie-
ties should be mixed so the blossoms
will become fertilized. The hole for
the tree should be dug large and deep
to suit the size and shape of the roots,
leaving a few inches of mellow soil in
the bottom. Lean the tree slightly
toward the southwest, put mellow dirt
among the roots, keeping them
straight, and when the roots are COW
cred pack the dirt slightly, pour on a
pail of water and fill up with more
| dirt Trees. should be set a little
deeper than they grow in the nursery.
A mulch of rotten manure is then put
around the trees; strawy manure is
not good, as mice will nest in it and
girdle the trees.-F. Ames, in Prairie
Farmer.

JEWS IN PALESTINE.
Turks Have Adopted Stringent Meas
ures to Keep Them Ont of
the Country.

There is new Turkish regulation re-
quiring Jews arriving at Yafa to leave
the country again in 80 or 90 days, if
they come as visitors. There is no pro-
vision, however, as to how these people
are to be made to return. As the Turks
do not accept the word of the immi-
grants on landing, a system Of money
pledges has been resorted to. This may
be called "fne,' ''tax," deposit"
''backshish, ''bail'' or 'pledge." It is
money guarantee that the parties will
carry out the requirement of the Turk
ish government. Unless they pay the
guaranty the immigrants have great
trouble in landing. In many cases the
consul is appealed to, and rather than
see them starve or sent back to the
steamer, which would probably not re-
ceive them again, he gives his word as
security that they will leave the couu-
try at the expiration of the time speci-
fled. Respectable American Jews, 60
ing there as bona fide travellers, en-
counter no more trouble than do Chris.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

When possible put the new orchard on
new soil. "
1t is good plan to manure the garden
thoroughly and then pillow deep before
colt, freezing weather sets in.
While mulching is beneficial to straw
berries it should not be done until the
ground freezes hard enough to bear up
wagon. ,: .... =. r
One item in preventing decay in fruit
through the fall and winter is to pre-
serve uniform temperature. It is the
changes that Injuries, ! e
Now. is a good time to secure what
trees one needs for planting and heel
them in carefully, providing good drain
age and protection from rabbits.
One advantage in blowing the garden
deep and thoroughly in good season in
the fall is the destruction Of the white
grub that so often infests the soil.
One advantage in fruit growing is the
small amount of plant food that the
vines and trees consume from the soil.
No other farm crop draws so lightly.
Never set out a tree with the leaves
on. If they come from the nursery with
the leaves on, strip. them of carefully
before setting out.-St. Louis Republic

THIS IS WORTH TRYING.
Keeps Sweet Potatoes All
the Year Around.

We packed away our sweet potatoes
September 80 and expect to have some
in May and June. We packed them in
boxes with alternate layers of dry
sand and have not failed to have them
keep we'll when thus packed in many
years of experience. The sand was
thoroughly dried in the first place by
being placed in the oven and heated,
and the sand we packed with this year
has been in use for the past Is years
for this purpose. The potatoes should
not get chilled before packing, and
should be perfectly dry.
We have also used "excelsior'-th
fine shavings used by furniture men in
packing goods-for, the purpose of
packing down sweet potatoes, and,
while it keeps them in fine condition
for some months, it does not pack suf-
ficiently solid to answer as we'll as
sand. - ~
The boxes should be placed in some
dry place where the temperature is
not likely to go below freezing. This
is the best method for keeping sup
ply of sweet potatoes for home use.
Of course the commercial grower who
keeps large quantities need not go to
so much trouble: - Ohm L. Shaver, in

A Point in Eti0uetto

AS to the form of introduction, the
simpler it is the better: The double
introduction has entirely gone out of
fashion. DO not say: "Let me make
you acquainted with" but say, mere
ly: "Miss Brown, let me present Mr..
Gray to you" If two persons who arc
introduced are interested in some one
art or science it is well to mention
this fact, but in making irtroductions
it is inadvisable to label people. Do not
Introduce woman as s'our' distin-
guished poetess," nor a man as ssthe
greatest hero of our recent political
battles" Both statements may be
true, but it is embarrassing to both
parties to an introduction to hear these
personal eulogiums. Leah Lanceford,
in Woman's Home Companion. -

KEEPING SEED POTATOES.
Kansas Farmer Hns Invented n Meth.
cd That Seems to BE Emil
nently Satisfactory.

How to keep potatoes sound and in
good condition until planting time, or
even later, is a matter that causes
farmers in this latitude anxiety should
the weather be variable in winter. A
Kansas farmer tried the experiment of
putting his potatoes in an alright
chamber and burning sulphur therein
for few minutes until the fumes of
he sulphur filled the chamber, which
was then closed for half an hour. The
potatoes may then be placed in bins
in a cool place. He found that the sui
phur fumes prevented sprouts from
growing, destroyed all disease-such
as scab-and the potatoes were as
sound and attractive in appearance
as those bought for seed. He also
found that they terminated ahead of
others planted alongside, and made a
much stronger growth. He tested with
only al few bushels, being afraid of in
juryto the potatoes, but recommends
to farmers to try the plan. with a few
bushels and compare with some not SO
treated. ia tight barrel (whisky OF
vinegar is used it may be filed three
fourths to the top a sulphur candle
lighted and the top put on throwing
a piece of carpet over the top to pre-
vent leaking of the gas. There will
be enough oxygen in the barrel to sup
ply sufficient sulphur for the purpose.
Every half hour the barrel may be
emptied and more potatoes used. The
gas is heavy and sinks to the bottom.
