HEAPS CASH FOR WIHMEB&GoES.
Government Pays Redmen Interest on
100000 Debt.
Sparta Advertiser.

HpdI Id +auNSilIcSI
The annual enrolment Of the red
men on the Winnebago reservation is
now being made.
The enrolment has not been COM
pleted as yet but it is thought that
the aggregate will not be far different
from that of last year when there
were ], ,404 WinnebagoeS reported from
Wisconsin. There are about 1.100
Winnebagoes in Nebraska, the govern
ment years ago having started to
transfer the tribe to that state. Three
lists Of the Indians are made out. two
are forwarded to the capitol at Wash
ington and a third list is kept here.
Each list is made up of two rolls, one
Of names opposite black numbers
representing the Indians who are kept
over from the year previous, and the
other OF names opposite red numbers
representing the births during the
year. Both the Indian names and the
American names are given. Those
who died during the year can easily be
ascertained by the difference in the
lists opposite the black numbers.
The payment of the money by the
government will take place in about
three weeks. There will be about
5000 paid out here, about $4,000 at
Black River Falls, about $4,000 at
Necedah, and about $4,000 at Witten-
burg. This money is not an annuity
paid by the government to the Indians
as payments to many other\tribes are,
but is the interest on a debt of about
100000 contracted by the United
States in payment of lands purchased
Of the Winnebagoes many years ago.

"AppIetree" Barnes Wins a Medal,

A. d. Barnes of Waupaca, who per-
haps is better known throughout this
state as "Appletree" Barnes. has
received notice that the awarding
committee of the recent Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo has awarded him
a gold medal for the finest special
exhibit of apples made by any one
person at the exposition. This is very
creditable distinction for the Waupaca
man.: The success of Mr.. Barnes has
been attained merely by application to
the business and close study of
scientific conditions. He has
succeeded in making the apple indus
try pay in remarkable manner, but
every farmer should remember that
he can also enjoy similar success if
he makes the same effort. A crop of
apples is just as saleable as a crop of
oats or corn and the. farmer who
devotes a portion of rs land to an
9rehanlEan make f0 mistake. 1t is
to be hoped that every farmer will do
his part in keeping up the reputation
of the state as an apple section.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Nov. 16.-
Among the numerous Wisconsin
young women who have won fame in
musical circles is Miss Charlotte Lynn
of this city, who has recently secured
the position of soprano soloist in
Park Street church, one of the leading
churches Of Boston.
Miss Lynn, who is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Fl. Lynn of
Grand Rapids, was born here and here
made her first public appearance. At
the age of l3 she entered the Conserva-
tory at Minneapolis. Later she
studied with J. Harry Wheeler of
Chicago, during which time she was
soloist at the Pilgrim Congregational
church. In 1894 she entered the New
England conservatory, where she

culture under Rotili. Since finishing
her course at the conservatory Miss
Lynn has been studing with Fl.
Carleton Slack.
Miss Lynn has had many fiattering
offers to go on the stage in light opera.
but intended to spend year in Paris
preparing for grand opera before
entering into that work. She had
made all preparations to leave for

Music And Drama.

Good goods are generally done up
in small packages p" and while Baby
Lund, at the opera house last night
was very tiny, she gave one of the
most finished performances ever given
on Leavenworth stage.
This little lady is a wonder indeed
and should her abilities increase with
age she will some day be one of the
big stars of the dramatic world
Pretty, graceful, talented, a clever
dancer and with a captivating stage
presence, she won all hearts.
The supporting company was cap
able in every way and their vaudeville
turns were executed with the vim and
life that characterize good performers.
Ziska, the mysterious, did the Albini
egg trick neatly. KerenS and Cole
talked the Weber and Field language
and the juggling of the Beemer four
was very well done.
The young ladies in the chorus were
shapeiy and sang we'll. Taken all in
all, it was one of the best perform
anceS given in LeavenwOrth for long
time. At the Opera House Tuesday,

How We Grow-5OO a Year.

Hotel room was at premium again
Tuesday night, as has often been the
case in the city the past year. Four
men coming in late on the North
western road were obliged to make
the circuit of the hotels of the town
in search Of nights lodging. Every
bed was filled as we'll as all spare cots,
but a kind-hearted landlord took pity
on the travellers and looked them up
lodging with private family. Many
private houses have been built during
the past year, yet today there is
scarcely vacant house in the town,
and old shantieS that formerly would
not. rent at all now command really
eXhOrbitant rentals. 1t is from such
circumstances as above mentioned
that we reach the conclusion that
since the last census this city has
made a remarkable growth, and we
believe that if q census were now
taken, it would show growth in this
city of at least 800 since the census of
1900. This is tremendous growth in
little over one years time, still we
believe the figures are conservative.

BTaiD-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be. its nutriment is
destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses Of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine OF the
healthy millions. Few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You

remedies at Johnson & Hill Co. or

Godfrey BruderIi Breaks His LED.

While returning to his home from
work Saturday night, Godfrey
Bruderli fell into the ditch on Mil
Waukee street in front of n. Reiland' S
residence, sustaining a severe sprain
of the right foot and probably
fracturing some of the bones of the
ankle. When partially over the shock
he crawled out of the hole and dragged
himself home sending Immediately
for doctor. His limb is very badly
swollen and painful and he is only able
to get to his shop by means Of the 10
cent bus.
Mrs. Geo. Minnehan and Mrs.
Dunavan also fell into this same hole,
which was dug by the city and should
have been surrounded with danger
signals to warn pedestrians of it's
presence. We understand that bo0h
Mrs. Minnehan and Mrs. Dunavan
sustained injuries by their falls, but
it is fortunate for the city that the
injuries Of all these people were
comparatively light.

TRAINED NURSES AT WAUPACa.
innovation al Wisconsin Veterans Home
Hospital.

Hereafter there are to be trained
nurses at the Wisconsin Veterans
home hospital at Waupaca. Dr.. H.
Z. Merville of the home has been in
Milwaukee the past few davs to
arrange to secure nurses who have
diplomas from reliable training
school. This will be an innovation.
The. Waupaca institution will be the
first one il the country to adopt this
step. The home hospital has had
professional nurses all the time, but
they have not been graduates of any
institution and therefore were not
educated along the scientific lines
desired by Dr. Merville. Most all the
inmates of the home now require
more or less medical attendance and
it is the intention of the board of
trustees to give them the best there is
to be had.

had spent her life in the town of
WellsYille near by. For the past eight
years she had been poorly and the
past year was an invalid. The past

ELECTRIC AND WATER co.
An Interesting Summary of its Work During
the Past Year.

The annual stockholders meeting of
the Electric and Water Co. of this
city is called to meet in the city hall
Wednesday evening, November q, at
7:30 p. n. This is always an important
meeting and is usually and should be
always we'll attended. Like our
telephone system our electric light
system is one of the best and cheapest
in the United States, in fact to stock
holders it could be no cheaper and pay
expenses, because it is at cost. 1t is
purely public utility, and ours is the
most fortunate of cities IN having one
of the largest and best equipped plants
in the country, run practically for the
benefit of the patrons. How few
cities in the country can boast of such
advantages. This plant is beginning
to furnish power to small users, and
from now on all small manufacturers
can get their power to operate their
plants practically at cost This will
certainly attract to Grand Rapids
many manufactures to whom the
item of power is now necessarily big
bill Of expense. The machinery for
the remodeled plant is not yet in
position. still the demand for this
cheap power is so great that without
solicitation the company has already
been called upon to furnish power for
nine moters from One-fOurth to forty
horse power
