OUR NEW OFFICE.

The Index Is very grateful TO the peo-
pie Of Barber county FOR the support 1t
has received at their hands. and while
we realize that the immense majority
which we received on election day rep
resents the appropriately of the new
law, yet we feel that we have Some very
warm friends among all political par
ties IN Barber county. We appreciate
very highly what republicans. demo-
Gratis, pOpulists and others have done.
IL demonstrates to US that party lines
are gradually being loosened and the
people are becoming independent in
pvl'tics. This is favorable condition
and Of lasting benefit TO the people. A
bad law henceforth has no sure lease of
life, and even though it be saddled on
the people they are not bound TO en-.
dorse it. The Barber county printer
law will be of short duration. The yer
dict pronounced by the people last week
has sea.ed it's doom and the next legis
lature Will be bound TO repeal 1t.
But while the law is on the statute
books and while we are the incumbent
of the office which it has created we are
bound to perform the new duties which
it brings upon US. 1t will cost money
TO do this, but since the law is manda
tory we must. IN protection Of ourselves
and the boud which we are required to
give, do the work. 1t has been said
that an effort will be made by different
parties To prevent our doing the extra
printing provided for in the new law
We hope that there will be no such OBJ
stacle placed III our way, but if any in
dividual or individuals lower them
selves TO such an undertaking. they will
find us ready for the fray. We expect to
do just what the law commands US to
do. No more, no less. No reasonable
man would ask us to do otherwise.

A FabIe-(But Not BY Tom McNeal.)

Once upon time there was nice
young man who desired for wealth and
position in his party, and he dreamed
that he could reach both positions
through good clothes, and 80 he procur
ed costly fabrics and went to a far-off
town to have his suit made. There he
engaged the services of all the best
tailors Of his state who proceeded to
make his suit IN the most elaborate
and fantastic style. but without taking
the measurements of the. young man,
and behold, when the young man put
on the clothes, they were entirely too
small for him, and he could not wear
them, and behold his rival for the same
position, twho was q smaller maui. put
them on, and wore them of, when they
were found to at him nicely, to the
great discomfort of this otherwise nice
young man.
Moral: Be like Benjamin Franklin
cut your coat according to your cloth
and be sure to have your measurements
taken in advance. -.

The Populists and demo.

The Populists and demo
Gratis elected their commits
sioner in all the counties sur
rounding Barber. In King
man county, Morton Albaugh,
chairman of the republican
state central committee, loses
his commissioner and the
county printing for the first
time since 1896. This is re-
garded as a significant re-
buke of the works of the last
legislature.

CONVINCING PROOF.
The Average WausaSe Citizen Must
Accept the Following Proof

The great Sir Isaac Newton, one OF
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut large hole in
board fence to allow favorite cat
access to two gardens, and cut small
Ter hole to allow her kittens to follow
her. The weakness manifested in Sir
Isaac's action was due to want OF
thought. Any reader who mentally
debates the proof offered here about
Doan's Kidney Pills and arrives at any
other conclusion than that stated in
this citizens statement, is as short Of
rsasoning powers as the philosopher
when he turned carpenter.
Mr. John Smith, of 1l6 E.veland Court,
Menominee, a stationary engineer,
says: II had symptoms of kidney COM
plant for long time and felt that |
ought to do somthing to better my con-
dition. 1t was not serious, yet it an
noyed me gyeatly especially when |
caught cold, for it always settled in my
kidneys and made my back lame and
sore. 1t was hard for me to get down
to sit in chair and equally hard to
rise My back was weak and soon tired
out and ached if | stood long or did
much walking. When | saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised to cure such
cases as nine got box at drug
store and the remedy did just what was
claimed for it. In short time all SYM
toms of kidney ailment were removed
Should it ever return should look to
Doan's Kidney Pills for relief. | can
confidently recommend them 70 any
one"
Just such emphatic Enforcement can
be had right here in Wansau. Drop in
to Albers' drug store and ask what his
customers report.

A NEW YEARS HAPPENING.

Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. g. Ewing had an ex-
perience on New Years morning which
did not augur well of pleasant day,
and one which they do not care TO have
repeated. In the Ewing home is a
cook stove, as there is in every well reg
ulated home, and connected with this
particular stove is large tank for heat
ing water. The water is heated by
means of coil of piping running
through the fire place of the stove,
through which the cold water passes.
During Monday night the water in this
pipe froze up, which fact Mr.. Ewing
was ignorant of until the next morning,
when it was most lastingly impressed
on his memory with suddenness that
sent chills through his frame.
On building fire in the morning a
steam was generated in this coil of
pipe of such volume as to cause an ex-
plosion and blow the stove to pieces.
At the time this occurred Mr.. and Mrs
Ewing were in the room, but fortunately
neither were injured to any extent.
Mrs. Ewing was struck in theside by a
piece of metal, and one of her hands
was scalded, while Mr.. Ewing was
struck on the head and arm. Both i'm
mediately set to work putting out the
fire, many Goals of which were scat
tered about the room. The room was
also quite badly damaged from flying
pieces of stove metal. but Mr. and Mrs.
Ewing consider themselves lucky in es-
Gaping as fortunately as they did,

FUN AT MOSINEE.

On Tuesday evening last, a sleigh
ride party, consisting of a score OF
young people, left this city and started
for Mosinee, partly for the purpose OF
having ride, but mainly to attend the
Odd Fellows ball given at that place
on that evening. The evening was
spent so enjoyably that the hands OF
the clock pointed to four a. m. before
the young people realized that it was
time for them to commence the home
ward journey. The team was hitched
up, the crowd seated themselves COM
fortably in the sleigh, and start was
made for home. The long wagon
bridge was passed, but when the rail
road crossing was reached one of the
sleigh runners gave way, and an ex-
animation showed that before the peo-
pie could proceed further blacksmith
would have to be brought into requisi-
ton, and as none could be found at
that cold, early hour; it was decided to
go back to the hotels and remain until
the passenger train came up in the
morning. They did this, and though
getting home a little later than they
had figured, they did so in more COM
fertable manner than they would had
the accident not have happened.
