New Richmond had another fair
and auction June 10, the second of
what they claim to be regular
monthly series The Republican
Voice asserts with insIstence that the
venture is a success, both to mer-
chants and farmers. A larger num-
Der of people attended the second fair
than we're present at the first. The
auction sale amounted to $4,000.
Grantsburg held its fourth market day
week ago Tuesday and the press OF
that town claim that this was the
most successful OF all, where all were
a success. Prizes were offered along
some lines as an inducement for farm
ers to bring in something of value TO
sell For instance prizes of $500,
$500 and $3.50 for first second and
third best milk cows; $500 and $500
for beeyes and prizes for horses, etc
These towns propose to continue
these market days as long as they are
successful, and their continuance is
the best evidence of their success.
What do the business men Of this city
think of the market day scheme?
Have either New Richmond or
Grantsburg any advantages over Riv-
er Falls to make such a venture a sue
cess? The situation Of this city, sur
rounded as 1t is with well-to-do class
of farmers, would seem to give excel
lent opportunities to exploit with sue
cessful issue periodical market days.

The Ailment of King Edward.

From the New York Herald
1t is to be hoped that the disquieting ru-
mors concerning the throat affection OF
King kuward have no serious foundation in
fact. There is, however, enough of plausi-
bility in the statements regarding the par
tcular disease of the vocal cords from
which he is said to be suffering and the
operations alleged to have been performed
for its relief to call for much concern as
to his future health.
In such connection we reminded of
the sad case of the late Emperor Frede-
rick, in which warty growth in a similar
situation was the commencement of a ma
Hgnant development which eventually
caused the death of that distinguished per-
sonage.
. Papillomata, or small beadlike tumors of
the windpipe, are not very uncommon in
males between the fortieth and siXtieth
years of age, are sometimes multiple in
character and are usually harmless save
for the mechanical inconveniences of i'm
perfect vocaliZation. This Is particularly
the case when the growths are situated as
they most commonly are, on the edges Of
the vocal cords. Under such circumstances
there is almost always q marked huskiness
and hoarseneSS Of voice ACCOMMODATING
other difficulties of perfect phonatio An
examination of the throat easily demon
strates the condition named. Until more
definite information is Forthcoming 1t NAV
be well to look on the bright side of the
picture and to assume that the warts in
question are innocent growths and not liza
BILE to return after removal Only on such
q supposition can any future safety be as
sured to the patient.

PROTESTS FILED.
question Regarding the Height of a
Park

The District Commissioners have received
number Of protests from residents in the
vicinity against the tall and massive iron
fence which has recently been erected about
the parking Of the residence of Mrs R H.
Townsend. at the junction of Massachusetts
and FlcIIda avenues and 22d street 1t is
claimed that the Townsend fence is o feet
inches in height, whereas the police regu-
latlons governing the inclosng of parking
prescribe that fences shall be not less than
feet nor more than 3 feet inches in
height
The Commissioners are at present con-
sloerlng the protests, and il is understood
nave referred the matter to their attorney
Tor an opinion in the premises
In speaking OF the matter today Commits
Sloner Mactarland said there was no ques-
uon that the Commissioners have a right to
make exceptions 10 the usual heights. The
commissioners have control of the parking
OF the city and the height of fences was
limited In the regulations for the purpose
OF securing uniformity. permit was is
sued for the Townsend fence by special or
der OF the Commissioners.
Their consideration in doing so, 1t IS
stated. was that the Townsend tract was so
large that the purpose of the regulation for
securing uniformity would be served In
cases of a whole frontage or very large
frontages, it is understood. the Commits
sioners feel they have a right to amend
their own regulations. The Townsend fence
according 10 the architects in charge could
not be of lower height to be in proportian
to the front steps The fence has attracted
much attention of late.

The vapors Of these healing oils are easily breath

cation.
