The deer hunting season Of 20 days
ended November - 1t Is estlm ated
that there we're 1000 men In the
woods of northern Wisconsin hunting
with long range repeating rifles for
the most of this period. Many cas-
uaities resulted to hunters or resi-
dents. 1t is known TO certainty that
Il men were killed, 80 others wound
ed and two are unaccounted for. The
names OF these victims are given In
the daily papers and there is no ques-
tion as to the accuracy Of the state
merts. 1t is probable that this list
Of dead and injured, appalling as it is,
does not tell the whole story. 1t is
altogether likely that there were
many accidents that were not re-
ported to the papers. Besides this
loss Of human life, the farmers in the
woods suffered from the loss of many
dom estic animals shot.
DR.. P. E. DeMille will be in the city

DR.. Wingate, Secretary Of the
State BoarG of Health, says he does
not think there is any occasion for
uneasiness over the probability OF a
smallpox epidemic, but there are
more cases now than there we're last
year and they are more severe, and
now that winter is coming on and
houses are being closed up, the num-
Der Of cases is increasing. While the
existing cases are more severe than
we're those of last winter, there has
been no increase in the mortality, it
dred cases. In many places great
many people have been exposed to the
disease, as in many cases people are
afflicted with it and are not aware of
its nature until many people have
come in contact with them. DR..
Wingate says no section OF the coun-
try is really free from smallpox.

We ''hobos" that live on the south
side of the creek in the 4th ward
would suggest that the city council
grant US the privilege of cutting the
timber in the City Park into cord
wood at SO much per cord, whereby
we would be able to raise means to
pay our taxes and at the same time
the council could sell the wood and
create fund to apply on fourth
artesian we'll In some quarter OF the
city and thereby save them the
trouble and expense of hiring money.
Why should not our good-roads
lecturer call the attention of our city
council to the horrible condition Of
the main thoroughfare leading into
our city? We recently overheard
some remarks between two farmers
living four miles south of the city to
this effect what makes you haul
your grain to Prescott?" "Oh, the
rascally roads between my place and
the Falls! 1t takes more out OF my
team than the difference in distance"
well, that is so and / don't see why
they don't work the roads. / believe
l will haul the rest OF my grain to
Prescott" ]. W. W.
