Aswas predicted more than wear
ago, DR.. McElwee, the specialist who
is at the Witter House every month,
has met with the same success in
Grand Rapids that he has had for
several years in Tomah and elsewhere
1t hasn't been like doctoring with the
average travelling doctor, who has no
permanent abiding place, because DR..
McElWee is one of the best known
physicians in the state, with residence
and office in Madison, and for several
years has met with unprecedented
success in treating chronic diseases.
The remarkable success the doctor has
IN treating rheumatism lit being said
that he never fails to cure) has been
illustrated in the case of Mr.. Morse,
who consulted him several months ago,
and who is now almost we'll, althO'
previously he had tried many remedies
and several physicians with no benefit
whatever. In chronic diseases of
whatever nature DR.. McElwee has
unusual success, getting cures when
other physicians have utterly failed.
No doubt the doctors experience in
the largest sanitariums and at the
Hot Springs has given him vast
advantage over physicians generally

In committing on the industrial
and social growth of the United
States during the century just closed
the Pioneer Press, presents the follow
ing cheerful view of the future for the
people of this country. 1t is strong
contrast to the opinions of certain
statesmen who were not elected at
the recent election:
But the most gratifying feature is
the effect all these machines and
devices have had on the world S
population. Instead of the world
becoming overpopulated and poorer
rs Nautilus predicated, it has become
richer and richer, and instead of
labor-saving machinery taking bread
from the mouths of the poor it has
put not only bread but meat before
them and given them many comforts
unknown in the days of the stage
coach and handloom. Wages have
gone up and prices down. The average
wages of 1891 compared with the
average wages of 1910 were as 100 to
81, with a 3 per cent advance since
1891 Coincident with this rise in
wages has been Il fall in average
prices from 100 to 90 between 1910
and 1891 and a further fall since
then. Meanwhile the percentage of
DrOfpCcipn1l cIoCcoc on1 cl-;1IoI
labOrerS in the United States as
distinguished from unSkilled laborerS
of all kinds has increased steadily,
while the percentage of unskilled Ia
Dor has fallen off, indicatinga consider
able increase in wealth and comfort.
The increase in wealth among the
masses in the United States is also
shown in an increase of $50 per cent
IN the last thirty years in the number
of saving bank dGpositors and of more
than 400 per cent in their aggregate
deposits. The savings banks of Europe
tell a similar story. In spite of our
fears and fancieS the cost of living
goes steadily down, the rate of COM
penSation goes steadily up, new doors
of opportunity are being opened every
year, hours of labor are being short
ened and the standard of living is
rising with the spread of intelligence
and knowledge. The rich, it is true,
seem to be growing richer, but they
inn IN,
and the poor are not growing poorer
and are decreasing in numbers. In
significant Man is getting to under
stand the workaday problem and may
soon have leisure to take up the
abstract mysteries of existence

They Watched Him.

The employees of the Centralia
Pulp & Water Power Co. sprung a
very pleasant surprise on Frank
Garrison, the president and general
manager of that plant, on New Years
day. He was called into one of the
rooms of the mill where he found
quite a number of the boys assembled,
when Scott Payne, one of the machine
tenders, stepped forward and pre-
Sented him with a handsome gold
watch as a token of their esteem for
him. Inside, the case OF the watch
bore the inscription, ''To E. Garrison,
by the employees of the G. P. & w. P.
Co. Dec %, 1900" Mr.. Garrison
replied in a few we'll chosen and
appropriate words of thanks. 1t was
a completes surprise to Mr.. Garrison,
and the incident was alike enjoyed by
the donors and recipient Of the gift.
1t had been intended to make the
presentation on Christmas, but the
watch failed to arrive in time, SO the
matter was postponed until New
Years Day.

Firemen'S Ball

The tiremen's ball at the opera
house New Years night was largely
attended and much enjoyed by the
young people of the city. The out
siders present were principally from
NekooSa and Marshfield, but there
were only a few from these places.
The Marshtield orchestra furnished
an excellent article of music for both
the concert and dance. still they were
mildly disappointing to their hearers.
who were looking for a pretty swell
musical combination from MarShtield.
The total receipts were about $3.50.
leaving about $50 net to the tiremen.

Ex-President Harrison recently made
speech at the University at Ann
Arbor, Mich, that seems to give
great comfort to the Democratic press
all over the land. The subject of the
speech was''our foreign possessions, )"
and the ex-preSident took position on
the question in opposition to the
administrations policy. He declares
that under our form of government we
cannot hold subject people, and if
the United States continues in posses
sion Of the Philippines and Porto Rico
the people of those islands must be-
come citizens of this country. The
same question is now before the
supreme court of the United States
and a decision is looked for early in
January. The result cannot be an
ticipated, but as the administration S
policy only looks to the temporary
management of the ISLANDS until con-
gresS shall prescribe their final form
of government it is well that the
supreme court passes upon the con-
Stitutional points of the question be-
fore it is taken up by congress.

The st. Paul Dispatch joins the
croakers in a doleful prophesy of
another panic ahead, which it believes
to be either a Gale or Tornado. "
Has the Dispatch turned Popo-Demo-
cratic, that it's vision fails to discern
the swelling prosperity abroad in the
land? A republican president occup-
les the presidential chair and while
he remains there no grewsome panic
will rise to fright the souls of hustlerS
after good American dollars. We
commend to the Dispatch course of
readingin the financial reports sent
out by the commercial agencies.
