r. S. Freeman & Son have complet-
ed extensive Improvements to their
drug store by the placing of Mueller
heating furnace in the basement.
Their addition of 40 feet to the rear
of the store furnishes added and
needed room to each story besides
the extension of the basement. The
room on the first floor of the new ad-
ditiUn is used for connecting laoora-
tory and store room and the annex OF
the second story furnishes conYen-
lent accessory to the G.. A. r. hall as
a dining room and dance hall. This
old and enterprising drug firm are
enlarging their business in the pre-
paration and introduction of their
proprietary medicines. They have
had manufactured at Lund's two
uobby wagons for these medicines
and will soon have two men on the
road hustling for sales.
There are grave fears of smallpox
epidemic in many localities the COM
ing winter. The disease was quite
prevalent in a mild form last winter
in many sections of this and a large
number Of other states. The disease
has extended in sporadic instances
during the summer in places,
Smallpox is most prevalent in cold
weather and is likely to be more
severe than in summer. That the
cases presented a mild aspect last
winter is no assurance that the dis
ease may not take on a virulent form
this winter. The papers mention
cases of smallpox in some localities Of
the state as existing at the present
time, notably at Menomonie and at
places further north. Ii becomes the
authorities of towns and cities TO
take precautionary measures TO pre-
vent its invasion and spread, and it
behooves every individual to be on
his guard. If any person knows he
has been exposed to smallpox lis his
duty to isolate himself, informing
the medical authorities as soon as
possible.

us the young man Absalom safer Mr..
Bryan in his numerous speeches over the
country has frequently with feigning So
Iicitude asked this question, and there are
many old Davids here and there who will
not hesitate to answer no. These are the
old Davids who, with trembling hands
and pulsating hearts. read daily the casu-
atty lists in the Philippine islands.
Last Saturday night while Captain w.
r. English was speaking at the opera
house there sat near the stage an old
David who has young man Absalom
in the Philippines. This old David had
never slain a Goliath; she had never gone
forth to battle with the Philistines; he was
not bedecked in the raiment of king
He was simply plain, common old Amer
lean David of the modern kind He sat
there and with rapt attention listened to
the speech, while his patriotic heart was
beating tattoo to the emotions that made
his bosom heave beneath his well-worn
coat. In vain did this old David attempt
to suppress the volcanic eruption that
as Captain English proceeded and told of
an incident that evening which had oc-

dianapolis to this city, wherein another
old David was exhibiting to the passengers
a picture of a young man Absalom dressed

islands fighting for the flag of his country.
Said he: Il have been Democrat all
my life, but never, no never, will / again
give my support to a party which lifts its
traitorous hands against my country, or
stains them with the blood of this, my
beloved boy Absalomi" The old David
who sat in the front could maintain his
composure no longer and the fury that
was raging in him came forth. He leaped
to his feet. and with roaring whoop
like a Comanche, his old SLOUGH hat
went to the ceiling like sky rocket But
in the next instant the mournful truth
flashed before him that the party which
had evoluted into such ignominy the
one to which he had chung all his life with
abiding faith of a true, loyal. honest
party member, and dropping back into his
seat the fountain tide of his sorrow broke
loose, and as the tears of his bitterness
gushed forth and glistened under the gas
light none knew the plenitude of his sor-
excent other old IlayidS.

In letter written by Mr.. Bryan to Hon.
George A. Garden, of Dallas, Tex, on
Feb. 49, 1896. he related this interesting in
cident:
In June, 1895 I was discussing the silver
question at Jackson, Miss, when a gentle
man in the audience asked me If / would
support a gold standard candidate on a
gold standard platform if the Democratic
convention should nominate such a candi-
date. L answered that, while / did not
believe the Democratic party would take
such action, L would refuse to support
the nominee in the event that it did Sc
lect gold standard candidate on the gold
standard platform. / never re-
tracted what / said at Jackson, and do
not intend to.
During the campaign of 1896 Mr.. Bryan
said that he did not want any man who
believed in the gold standard to vote for
him. In this letter he declared that he
would bolt if the Democratic party should
declare for the gold standard. Having
declared against regularity himself, and
having voted for Weaver, Populist, in 1892,
Mr.. Bryan is in position to denounce
Democrats who can't accept his Populistic
heresieS.

THE WORK OF THE WEEK.

The election takes place week from to-
day. In this State the campaign has been
long and arduous, so that riost of those in
terested In the election viii be relieved
when it shall be ended. Four years ago
there was no business with which the cam
paign could interfere. This year. in spite
Of the almost absolute certainty OF the re-
electf OF President Mckinley. the cam
paign has interfered with business to some
extent In order that the result of the
election may not turn back the Astounding
prosperity, all those who believe III the re-
election of Mr. Mckinley should do all in
their power to bring out full vote. This
cividual effort depends the Republican
plurality. 1t is mistake to leave the work
OF the campaign TO committees because
there is much work that individuals can do
much better. There is campaign work that
meme but individuals can do. There are
hundreds OF voters throughout the State
that readers OF the Journal, as individuals.
can induce TO vote the Republican ticket.
This Is the week for such work, and for
that special work it is the best week of
the campaign. How many Republicans and
sound money Democrats will make them
selves a committee of one to speak with
this or that neighbor and in his own way
urge him TO vote for Mckinley? Can any
one conceive what an influence 1t would
have in increasing the plurality If each man
who feels the Importance of Republican
success would make a list OF those whom
he thinks he may be able to influence and
have kindly talk with him az to what Is
better for them as individuals and for the
country at large when they go 20 the polls?
1t would mean thousands of votes for Nc
Kinley because all the arguments which APP
peal to the voter who has business en-
ployment are in favor of Mckinley.
Republicans should redouble their efforts
the next few days. Talking together Of the
glowing prospects is not work; bantering
with Bryanites is not work; both are
waste of time To work is to do something
to increase the Republican vote. 1t will be
appreciated by committees If the rank and
file will volunteer to help wherever they
can

who is eulogistic throughout, begins by
saying:
The volume so entitled is the latest
which Mr.. Roosevelt has found time TO
give us out of his own strenuous life. His
name is inseparably connected with this
phrase, for he is an illustration of his own
ideal of the living of the strenuous life.
Not yet forty-two years old, he is the one
all-around American of whom his country
men are proud-statesman, historian. econ
omist, soldier, hunter and author. Every
thing he has done has been we'll done.
1t is not to be inferred from this con-
fiict of opinion that the SentineTs literary
editor does not read what the political
editor says. On the contrary, he presum-
ably does read it, as one of the painful
duties imposed on each attache of the
paper. but, like outsiders compelled or
beguiled by one reason or another to the
same task. declines to accept word of 1t
as truth. Merely for the looks of the
thing, however, the political and literary
editors should "get together"
