BOARD MEETS TUESDAY.
Routine Business Largely Takes up the Time
of the Session,

The county board met again Tues
day afternoon after an adjournment
over Sunday. DR.. o. Il. Hougen was
appointed county physician for this
end of the county.
The most important matter before
the board was the re-adjust ment Of
the basis of assessment in the differ
ent towns and cities of the county.
The valuation was fixed on a basis
almost three times larger than that
heretofore prevalent, and has caused
considerable discussion about the
county, but when the subject is we'll
understood by all it will be agreeable
to all who want the right thing to
obtain in this matter. 1t will increase
no mans taxes whose taxes ought not
to be increased, and is a step in the
right direction.
A plan to divide the town of Wood
into three towns and the towns OF
Seneca and Vesper into three towns
was discussed somewhat, but no
action in the matter could be taken
by the board at this time, as the
residents of the tawns, must vote on
the matter before it comes before The
board. This will probably be done
at an election next spring, as there
seems to be general sentiment in
favor OF division.
The board adjourned Wednesday
afternoon until the I'd Tuesday in
February when they meet to consider
the report of the financial committee.

"CieanIiness is Next to GodIiness"- a
Bath.

No truer saying was ever uttered
than that in the above quotation.
What a pleasure it should be to
everybody to be clean. It increases
personal comfort, adds pleasure to
your friends for even a dirty person
has greater respect and admiration
for the clean,) increases vitality and
helps to preserve your health. Many
homes are without the facilities for a
good bath, and it is surmised that
tits not generally known that there
is place in town where you can get
a good room we'll supplied with all
essentials for indulging in this luxury
for only % cents, because it is not
very we'll patronized. Louis Fourn-
ier's barber shop opposite the post
office in Grand Rapids is the only
public place in the city with bath
rooms in connection. They are
equipped in good style, with hot and
cold water and all other necessary
accessories. 1t only costs quarter
% cents-try it. Your doctor would
give you the same advice, if they were
not so generally modest about those
things.

BUILDING OF A GtKE.
After Twenty Years Discussion Protection IS
Secured

The long-talked Of dixie or levee to
restrain the waters of the Wisconsin
river when in a boiSterouS condition,
like they were in October, has at last
been constructed. 1t Is built across
the slough in the northeastern part of
the city on the property of VIM. H.
Brown, near the mouth Of Railroad
Creek northeast of Ketchum'S ice
house. and consists of barrier of
earth 80 rods long, an 18-foot base, 6
feet in width on the top and the
highest point is about feet. The
city was probably saved thousands of
dollars in damage this fall through
the courtesy of the Green Bay road by
daming up the culvert, east of the
depot, and using the embankment of
the road for d dam. A ten-foot head
of water was in this way held from
coming down the slough and return
ing to the river by the jail and library
building. This dixie has been talked
of since the flood Of 1880, but the fiCod
this fall frightened the people to such
an extent that no further objection
was made to it's construction. The
deed to the land and the cost of con-
structing the dixie only cost the city
5000.

Pleased With the Chance,

The Tomah Journal in speaking of
the recent change on the G. NJ. & st.
Paul road, which sends two passenger
trains from Grand Rapids via of
Tomah instead of New Lisbon says:
''As now arranged one Of the Valley
passenger trains goes over the line
from New Lisbon to BabcOck and the
other over the line from Tomah TO
Babcock. Both lines are given good
local accommodations and the through
traffic east and west is better taken
care Cf than it was before. The
return of these trains to this line
where they formerly ran, is hailed
with delight by the people along the
line not only between here aud
Babcock but in the towns beyond on
the Valley division and by the
travelling fraternity. Conductors
Moran and viii Lee run opposite on
these trains, which are pulled by
engineers NJ. FL. Moore and John
Little.''

TOO "HlGH CHURCH."
To Suit This Oshkosh Congregation Strong
Feeling Excited.

From Pioneer Press.
Oshkosh. Wis, Nov. l9.-The
consecration of Bishop Coadjutor
Weller at Fond du Lac last week was
attended with so much ritualiSm and
high church" ceremonies that it has
aroused strong feeling in Episcopal
circles in this city. 1t is claimed that
a spectator could not distinguish the
cermony from that of the Catholic
church, all the clergy taking part in
gowned robes thatare in vogue in the
Roman church and there being an
incense bearer. Trinity Episcopal
church in this city is the largest in
point of numbers of all the congrega-
tions in the diocese. 1t is slow
church." while Bishop Grafton, the
head of the diocese, is extremely high
church" Trinity church, on that
account, refused to participate
in the election of Mr.. Weller, the
bishops coadjutor, knowing that the
bishop would select a "high church
man." and Trinity also refused to
send representatives to the cOnsecra-
tion.
Sunday morning Mr.. Greenwood
from the pulpit made emphatic
protest against the ritualiSm that
dominated tile Fond du Lac cermonleS
and pronounced ritualiSm anevl that
was sapping the foundations of the
Episcopal church. Mr.. Greenwood
maintained that the ritualiStS were
preparing the way for Rome"
Strong feeling is aroused here, and
it is predicted that the Trinity
church will never brook another
thigh church" bishop, but will
secede and join the Reformed
Episcopal church.

AT REST.
The hand OF Death came to the home,
And took away our fairest nower
But we may know that blossom sweet
is bio ming in a fail er bower.
Transplanted by loving hand,
Watered by Mercy sweet,
And there to dwell in happiness
Close by the Gardeners feet.
The shepherd hath his lamb in fold,
Guarded with loving care. ss-a
And though on earth hes sadly missed,
Yet he'll be happier there.
He hath left sorrow, pain and care,
Behind him on life's road
And il is WELL that slender form
Could never bear the load
Listcn there is an angels voice
Telling us Peace, be still,
For We may see he child again;
Obey Gods holy will.

L. j. Davies. q missionary who has
