A POISONED STREAM.
Perpetually Distributing Deadly Poison
Where IL Kills.

A clogged sewer will spread disease
through whole city. Scattering perfumes
will only disguise and cover the warning
stencil. The death dealing gases are there
yet. 1t is the same with annoying and dis
figuring eruptions of the skin. External
remedies only may heal for the moment,
but the poison is doing its work just the
same-worse, in fact, because kept out Of
sight. Eruptions are the signals of filth
filth inside where soap and water do not
reach. Poor blood and torpid liver are
working together. The stomach, too, is
not doing its work, and soon the kidneys
will yield to the added strain. Then all the
internal organs will be working against each
other. The blood, instead of carrying life
through the body, is carrying poison. The
skin is poisoned the pores INSTRUCTED and

NOTABLE RE UNION

A remarkable reunion was held Wednes-
day evening when Mrs. Frances Butterfly
entertained her six sisters at her home on
St. Paul street. The aggregate age OF these
seven sisters is 4S2 years. Six reside in this
city. Mrs. Susan Dudley, aged 81 years,
and the oldest. returned to Middlebury to-
day accompanied by Onie Galsise. The
other sisters and their ages follow: Mrs.
Butterfly, rs years; Mrs John Girard, ~
rem Friend, 65 years; Mrs. David Brown, 81
years; Mrs. james Campbell, 81 years.
The sisters enjoyed the reunion immense
ly and as Mrs. Girsrd expressed 1t, 1--WE
girls enjoy ourselves as well as we did 80
years ago at home"
In ali the years of their lives the sisters
have never marred or broken the bond of
affection which binds them by indulging in
petty strife, and as they approach the end OF
liie's pathway this sentiment is mellowed
to degree that is pathetic.

DIR LETTER or ACCEPTANCE.

The Commoner Is a Democratic
weekly newspaper published by Will
liam jennings Bryan ut Lincoln, Neb
Subscriptions will be taken, at this
Office, for The Commoner, to be club
bed with The Iowa County Democrat,
for $500 per year for both papers.
Mr.. Bryan recently sent us n clubbing
proposition, and we have replied in
the following letter Of acceptance
Mineral Point, Wis, Jan. 3, 1901.
Hon. William j. Bryan,
Lincoln, Nebr.,
Dear Sir: We accept your kind offer
to club The COmmoner with The Iowa
County Democrat.
You have outlined the policy Of the
CommOner, in publishing which we
believe it ~ your purpose TO strength
en- and build up the Democratic party.
We beg leave to offer q word in re-
gard to The Democrat and the work to
be accomplished in this county, be-
iieyinp that the conditions here rep
resent closely the conditions sur
rounding very many Democratic
weekly newspapers throughout the
land. The Democrat was established
in 1866 and the present publishers
have been connected with the paper,
in one capacity or another, ever since
IL started. We have always taken an
active interest In politics, and, III u
local way, performed our part in the
work Of self government: by adVOCaL-
ing what we believed to be Democrat
ic principles, aud by encouraging, by
prrccpt aud example, strenuous ana
united action on the part OF the Demo
cratic organization within the county.
Until 1890 the county was strongly
Republican; but, by nominating popu-
lar and worthy men as their candi-
dates, the Democrats invariably elect
ed some Of the county aud legislative
officers. In 1890 aud 1892, Wisconsin
Democrats, under the leadership of
William T.. Villas and other champ
ions Of low tariff taxation and a goId
based currency, won notable victor
les; and Iowa county, like the state,
went Democratic. since lS12, now
ever, the tariil question having been
dropped, and the policy OF the party
changed In regard TO the currency
question, no Democratic candidate IN
iowa county has been able to get
within sight OF victory. Even II he
ran n few hundred votes ahead OF his
ticket II was of no avail; they have
all been defeated. This part OF the
country was settled over seventy years
ago, about the time that Thomas IT,
Benton was leading the Democratic
party In support Of The best currency
Of his day and generation. Since

Mon y In Planting Trees.

Any one who takes Il vital interest in
the welfare Of his grandchildren can
insure their being rich by planting
trees on treeless land, which land lie
can leave to them in his will. Some
big British fortunes have been prOVid-
ed for in this manner. \ predecessor
of the present Duke OF AthOle had Il lot
Of land. but II was not especially yalu-
able-in fact. he was LAND poor"
He determined that his descendants
should fare better and so began plant
ing trees. In the course of his lifetime
he planted l4,09J.7l9 larch trees alone,
covering an area Of 1O.324 acres. His
last plantation covered 1900 acres.
which In the ordinary way becomes a
forest of mature timber 40 years after
planting. Trimmed down TO about $50
trees an acre. each tree will contain at
least 20 cubic feet OF timber. which, at
- cents foot, gives n sum OF 81 ,3TJ
an acre. a total for the value OF the
timber on the last plantation alone Of
$34, 100000.
The whole initial outlay for this plan
tation, which has so increased the
wealth of the ancient house OF Athole,
is said TO have been only about $4,000
for the Seeding trees and the cost OF
the labor Of planting them. The main
tenance OF the wood was paid for out
OF the profits arising from the sale of
young wood when thinning the planta-
tions.

UNDER the circumstances 1t
seems that the New York Yacht
club is at" the whole thing, in so
far as international yacht racing
in the United States is concerned.
No matter where or by whom the
best American boat may be built,
unless the craft is sailed under the
flag of a member of the New York
Yacht club, it cannot compete In
the Americas Cup races. The
difficulty is said to lie in the deed
of gift of the cup. That being
true, and there being no way in
which to open the contests to the
very best craft, irrespective of the
club flag they may sail under, the
Savannah News suggests the need
for a new international trophy.
New York is the richest city in
the country, but it does not con-
troll all of the wealth; it contains
many sportsmen, but all of the
sportsmen of America do not re-
side there. The public spirited
sportsmen of other localities de-
serve some show when they desire
to illustrate their nations proves
upon the water.

Iron Safes Proved No Good.

If there is one thing more than an
other at discount today in jacksonville
it is iron safes. The fire of last week
has conclusively proven that they are
untrnstwOrthy, as countless valuable pa
pers Were lost in them. This is in con-
trast with the bank vaults here, which
were subjected to greater heat than the
safes, and they proved absolutely secure
IN every instance, and We mention this
with pride from the fact that these
vaults were constructed by Jacksonville
mechanics, after their own plans and
ideas. They are not only burglar but
fire proof Safe after safe has been
opened here this week, and with very
few exceptions their contents were de-
stroyed. Some of the coin in them was

IT is evident from the reports
coming from Cuba that the Oppo-

the constitutional convention are
receiving encouragement from per-

there are persons of prominence in
