SOM ETHING NEW.

A new and unique Historical Library
is found in "Larned's History for Ready
Reference" a large work of six royal
octave volumes. 1t is work on which
the compiler, j. n. Larned, of Buffalo,
ex-president of the American Library
Association, has, with his able assist
ants, spent in all over thirty years in
bringing into its present form the his
tory of all countries from their CON-
mencement down to this season, also
all states and cities of historical impor-
lance, besides historical subjects, such
as Christianity, Education, Law, Medi-
cal Science, Money and Banking, Social
Movements, Commerce, ETC., ETC., in
the whole range of history, brought
down to May, 1901.
No other historical work has met
with such universal approval from all
the leading scholars of this country and
Europe. The first edition appeared in
1895, of which many sets were sold in
this city. This new edition is re-
vision of the first, with additions of all
important recent facts up to date, max
ing it the newest. most complete and
reliable historical work now in exist
ence.
The information is given in the exact
words of the best writers of all ages,
and by new system of reference, one
can find any fact in history as quickly
as word in a dictionary. Published

ing of furnaces, and replace three in

STREET WORK.

A stroll through the city convinces
the observer that a great deal of work
is being done at present on the streets
of this city, more so in fact than has
been done at any one season in recent
years. There may have been more
money spent at some other time, but
the work was not of the lasting order,
which is the kind that counts and saves
money for the taxpayers; the latter is
the kind being generally done this sum-
mer Much of this work has been I'M
der the personal supervision of the
city's mayor, and as Mr.. Marchetti has
made study of the matter of good
roads, and attended conventions where
practical demonstrations of theories
have been worked out, you can rest
assured that the work superintended
by him will be on high scale. Il
The latest work that has been done
along this line has been the macadam-
izing of La Sale street and of about 80
feet at the east end of the high bridge,
and crew is now working on Wash
ington street. The latter street is
being turnpiked with the use of the
road machine, and several courses of
crushed rock put on, not so thick as on
other streets that have been built in the
past, but it makes road that will last
for years, and is certainly big i'm
provement over the old sand street.
This street is about one-third completed
and it will be less than two weeks ere
the job is done. AS soon as convenient,
work will be begun on lower Grand
avenue to the cemetery.
AS more of these roads are construct
ed the fact is brought out palmer to all,
and especially to those who opposed
the buying of the machinery, pleading
poverty for the city, that had we COM
menced the work years ago we might
now make showing of good streets
and ones which would not be. continu-
ally draining the city treasury. ~,,-

and Tenth separate battalion are now
encamped at Camp Griffin. The total
strength of the Third is $50 men, and
with the Tenth battalion there are 1924
men on the grounds Sunday Captain
Abraham, of Wausau, acted as officer
OF the day, and the camp was visited
by many people who came in on excur-
sion trains. The Sabbath was not OBJ
served, as it was when the First and
Second regiments encamped, but on
account of long schedule of work,
rifle practice was INDUCED in during
the forenoon. A game of bal was also
played between a team of Co. B, of La
Crosse, and a picked team of Co.'s Ii
and &. The former team won by a
score of II to 4. Most of the time SO
far has been given over to rifle practice,
and the Third has established q new
record. Yesterday Co. M, of La Crosse,

of last year of 300 points.

Friday evening horse belonging to
Jerry Bradley, Supt. of the poor farm,
ran away, starting at Hans Weik'S cor
ner on Third street. The animals
flight was short but exciting The lines
became entangled about Jerry's legs
and he was dragged some distance. AZ
the time Mrs. Grin LilieqveSt had just
removed her infant child from its car
riage, on the walk in front of Dunbar's
bicycle repair shop, and stood holding
the baby in her arms. The horse made
a dash no onto the sidewalk and the
lady had to run for her life. Had she
left the child in the carriage it would
undoubtedly been killed, for the horse
struck the go-csrt and smashed 1t up
considerably, the mix-up of Jerry, baby
carriage and horse being a general one
The animal was stopped at the engine

Last evening mad dog came south
on Third street and ran up the stairway
leading to Fred Levenhagen's living
rooms. On being told that there was a
strange dog up his stairway and one
which was acting very much as if he
were mad, Mr.. Levenhagen, with the
help of P. V. o. Van Vechten, at once
laid plans to capture the animal. They
found the dog biting at everything in
sight and frothing at the mouth. A
rope was secured, a slip moose made in
the center and this was slipped over
the dogs head. In this predicament
he could not get at either gentleman
and was taken down the stairway, but
the rope had been held so tightly that
the dogs wind was shut off and he died
The gentlemen are toube congratulated
for their excellent and quick work. The
owner of the work is not known.

THE OBSERVER.
FAKES AND NUIsANcEs.

This year we have been overrun
Hardly day has passed during the
past two months that the offices and
stores have not been canvassed by some
beggar or some humbug. In the cities
such persons are not allowed to enter
most of the large buildings, but in the
smaller towns these vultures find their
prey easily. Many a kind hearted
business man succumbs to their plaus-
ible stories, often to discover later how
badly he has been swindled But to
prevent turning away one worthy petit
toner, in his ignorance he generally
has to assist nine fakirs. The Observer
has in mind one case especially. A
very short time ago the town was
worked by couple of men with
what seemed to be an honest advertis-
ing scheme Not that the advertiser
would derive the slightest possible
good from subscribing to it,-for he
wouldn't. But many substantial and
careful business men purchased ,adver-
Using space from these rasca!s, because
they believed the object a worthy one,
especially so at this time. These two
men have since been proven rank
frauds, and they are still working other
towns in this part of the country.
Probably they will continue to do so
unmolested, for man who is swindled
out of only two or three dollars is not
apt to go to the trouble of prosecuting
anyone. He is more liable to keep
quiet. So these rogues have a clear
field and they make good use of it.
Carrie Nation is no longer celebrated
she is now notorious. However pure
and noble the motives may have been
that actuated her at the start, they have
sadly degenerated. She is now pranc-
ing around the east, making fool of
herself and converting her antics into
hard cash. She is positively disgusting.
When person iuggles with high prin-
ciples and gives public entertainments
in the name of religion and temper
ance, when the object is plainly for
gain, disgust is the only emotion ex-
cited. The sooner this crazy old wom-
an is locked up the better it will be.
Where are we at ? What is it? Wis
consin politics are certainly in the
worst tumble possible. Unfortunately
we can't all be E. B. Usherses to under
stand all the knotty twistings and write
lucidly about it all. Such a mix-up of
factions, such squabbling of leaders,
such red hot scrappIng, so many boil
ing tempests in very small tea pots has
never been known before. And what
is the good of it all, why the remark
able activity at this time when all
should be decently quiet? But man
with an ambition is a restless creature,
and when different men have similar
ambitions, there's bound to be trouble
somewhere.

Mrs. Brown began to feel tired sometimes
at the end of the day. Then there came
another little guest, and the mother used
to feel tired before the end of the day
came. She knew now that she had
nerves, and also had learned the mean
ing of headache About this time peo-
pie used to speak of Mrs. Browns falling
off in looks. Her figure lost its graceful
lines, her cheeks their rosy plumpness
Mr.. Brown wasn't losing anything, by
the way. He was putting on flesh, and
showed in every way the comfortable
case of mau who has good home and
a good wife to manage it. Mr.. Brown
believed in large families. Every visit
of the stork was to him cause of happi-
ness. No man could have been more
proud of his family. He didn't realize
either his own selhshness or his wife's
sacrifices If he had seen a true picture
of his family life it would have shown
him in a cart surrounded by a happy
family and his wife in the shafts YEARLY,
but willingly, drawing the heavy load.
They got just one too many on the load
at last, and after that the neighbors
spoke of the late Mrs. Brown.
FAOl-L4fLNS "OMENs
It is not only the women who turn
night into day and sacrifice health to
pleasure who live fast. The wife and
mother who in household duties and
maternal cares exhausts vitality more
rapidly than it can be supplied, is also
living fast, and fast living does not mean
long living. In normal condition of
health a woman is equal to all proper
womanly obligations. She can guide
the house and rear family, and as
a grandmother still show the signs
of womanly beauty and strength. But
so few women are normally healthy.
Their vitality is often lesseued by un-
healthy drains, by disease of the delicate
womanly organs, while the household
cares increase as the family grows. Ev-
cry child gets its strength from its
mother. AS a fact, the prospective
mother should be relieved from every
possible burden and anxiety, instead of
which she carries the household burden
to the last Is it any wonder that under
these circumstances her strength fails,

THE STORY OF THE
LATE MRS. B7OVBk.

1t is admitted that her name was not
Brown. For obvious reasons it is not
wise to mention names in such case.
For the facts of this life story are so
common that any woman could relate
them to some of her married friends,
and probably might do so, If the name
happened to fit. Therefore, real story
is printed under wrong name.
when Mrs. Brown married she was
what every one called remarkably fine
girl She was the very picture of health.
She knew nothing about headaches or
nerves, but enjoyed life thoroughly
working or playing. Everybody called
Brown lucky man, and Brown thought
SO himself. After the FIRST baby came,
