Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George d.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five yeaSs that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she Is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to 90 her own work. :"
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.

More Costly for Taxpayers.

The new revenue law passed by
the last legislature went into effect
to-day. The County Court Clerks
say it puts more work on them, as
1t requires special books 10 be kept
for recording the bonds of merch-
ants and other bonds filed. The
law Is more stringent as to the pay
ment of taxes when due than the
old one, aud the clerk is allowed no
discretion in the matter. Another
additional expense to the taxpayer
is placed by requiring all bonds to
be cOuutersigued by the Circuit
Court Clerk, for which a fee
of fifty cents is allow ed-Special

a Very Bad Bargain.

That figures are sometimes wonder
full things is illustrated by the follow
ing actual occurrence in a nearby college
town q number Of years ago: A student
in the university was a member Of an
eating club of 10 members which regu
larly patrOnized certain little hostelry.
He was lucky enough one day to become
the recipient Of a legacy amounting to
about 81, 600, and, showing the sum to
the hotel keeper, agreed to give it to
him en- condition that the sum be &C
copied as payment for meals eaten by
the students until every possible combi
nation of the seating arrangements of
the boys had been exhausted, the order
Of seats occupied by the boys to be
changed at each meal.
The hotel keeper thought it a most
profitable deal, but friend Of his with
a mathematical turn proved to him
that it really would mean ruin, as no
less than 479, 001, 900 arrangements
were possible, or a total of S., 74S, O19,-
900 individual meals, which, at the rate
of 10 cents per meal, would represent a
value of the tidy sum Of $547, sol, 900.
The contract was carried out for the
four years of the boys student life,
when it really drove the hotel man from
business, as reckoned on basis of So
per week per student the hotel man had
lost So, 992, while the students had only
eaten so, 416 individual meals and had
still credit Ct 5, 748, 966, 1874 meals, Or
enough to give them three meals a day
for 43S, 1852 years.-Philadelphia Rec

MCCLUREs Magazine for September
opens with poem on the Dreyfus affair
by Edwin Markham which proves that
the mark reached by Mr.. Markham in
"The Man With a Hoe" was not beyond
his reaching again. 1t is truly a high
and noble strain which he strikes here,
exhibiting in apt, strong, rhythmic phrase
the inner, universal import of the most
singular episode of recent history. Fol
lowing this comes a character sketch of
Admiral Sampson, by Ray Stannard
Baker, giving many interesting Incidents
and anecdotes of the admiral's life as boy
and young man in his home town of Pal
myra, New York, and estimates and rem
iniscenses of him by his associates in
the navy. 1t is illustrated with a series
of portraits of Sampson and various 9th
er pictures.

WHAT KIND OF newspaper would 1t be
that told all the truth? What sort of
popularity or unpopularity would it en-
JOY? How long could it exist? Many
newspapers boast that they print the
news, but they don't tell many things
they know that would be news, startling
and absorbing. The newspaper is pol
itic institution. It is usually circum-
scribed by more than ordinary discretion
and judgment. There are many Incl
dents and facts regarding persons that
good sense demands should not be told
although if told they would make sensa-
tional news. The true newspaper is a
prop to society and a promoter to the
general good. To print that which
would lnclte jealousy, envy strife, hatred,
contention and arouse animositieS might
make a paper interesting, but it would
not be building we'll for itself or the
community. To print the news is the
newspapers legitimate privilege, but it
is the news that the public ought to
have, and the newspaper editor is fit for
his calling who can discern what should
and what should not be printed. The
country newspaper editor, above all 9th
ers, cOnfronts a grave responsibility in
ohis regard. He is constantly met with
with most perplexing situations and cir
cumstances tc treat with which require
his cleverest Judgment and tact. Things
happen to which he must refer but to
say enough and not too much is some
times a difficult matter. Readers judge
and criticise from different points Of
view. You can't please all of them. 1t
foolish to try to do so. But in time you
can win the approval of their Judgment,
il they have any, if you are a real news
paper man. There are too many men
managing newspapers who have mis-
judged their calling, as there are preach
ers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, etc, who
are out of their spheres. 1t is respon-
sible, delicate office they perform and
their influence and usefulness is meas
ured according to ability, training, fidel-
ity and fitness for the work that they
bring to it Mondovi Herald.

The Rush Approaches Madness

The chase and rivalry for the crop of
Vernon county tobacco that is now be-
ing shielded is not only amusing but in
teresting. The latter beca use it clear
ly demonstrates that tobacco dealers,
far and near, recognize and acknOWl-
edge our weed superior to that of any
section in the state. Amusing because
Of the evident purpose of buyers to qui
city steal in here without permitting
rival buyers to know their whereabouts,
and "gObble" up the best crops before
others were appraised of their move
ments. The local buyers at Westby and
ViroQua have been Watchful on the same
subject of superior crops, and the mo-
ment outsiders made their advent here
there was music and lively chase in all
directions. MIR Eckhardt says there
were no less than thirty buyers riding
the country districts last week. Buying
is still progressing but the scramble is
not so exciting. Among the foreign
buyers were J. L. Scott, of Boston:
Joseph Hoffman, of New York; F. J.
Goldman, of Madison; C.. L. Culton, G. F.
Mabbett, r. j. Maltpress, G. r. Bentley
and others of Edgerton and Stoughton.
AS result of this scramble a large
and at what would seem extremely good
prices. Buyers have aimed to purchase
no crops that could be had at less than
seven cents a pound. The prevailing
price has been about seven and three
fourths cents, much at eight, and some
at nine, and in exceptional cases, ten
cents. Buying is still going on in a
moderate way this week.
At this writing just about one half the
acreage in Vernon county has been
placed on the poles. 1t has been in ex-
cellent condition for handling and the
weather has been fine except a few days
of extreme heat in the middle of the day
Buyers acknowledge that as whole the
leaf is the most perfect this county has
produced. 1t is free from worm holes
hail cut, grasshopper bites and rust. The
favorable weather has done much for

So FAR as known, the fly serves no use
full purpose, and it does great deal of
mischief. One of the most serious evils
resulting from their existence is the
transportation of disease germs from
place to place, and depositing them on
human food A fly alights on infected
substances and then departs, carrying
scores Of bacilli on it's feet. An ordinary
househy will lay 120 eggs during it's ex-
