Dyspepsia, wrote Eugene Field,
soften inca FACILITATES man for endeavor
and sometimes extinguishes the fire of
ambition" Though great despite his
complaint Field suffered from indiges-
ton all his life. A weak, tired stomach
can't digest your food. 1t needs
rest. You can only rest it by the use
of a preparation like Kodol, which re-
lieves it OF work by digesting your food.
Rest soon restores it TO it's normal tone.

Claude Conant, teacher in the First

nominated on The Democratic ticket
of Walworth county for the office of
County superintendent of schools.
The nomination comes as a surprise
to Mr.. Conant as he did not seek the
office. Being good Republican, it is

not allow himself to 90 into the
Democratic camp.

There has recently been organized
in this state and the concern has
already begun work, corporation for
the purpose of clearing land in North
ern Wisconsin. The company has
supplied itself with all the necessary
tools for the work it is engaged in and
when a contract is made for the clear
ing of SO many acres big crew is
sent with necessary implements to
perform the work with nea tneSS and
dispatch and in a comparatively short
time the job is done and where only a
week or so before StumpS Ieigned
supreme all is now ready for the pillow
and the land is cleared. The COM
pany claims that having stOOls and
experience it can do the work cheaper
and better than others and do it more
quickly. 1t is said that much land
has been cleared in this way and that
III many cases the crops raised in one
or two years were sufficient to pay for
the expense of clearing.
Forest fires are reported to be rag
ing on nearly every side of Rhine
lander. From HObSOn, in four miles
this way, there is solid mass OF flame
that is working through the timber
at furious rate. Both sides Of the
wagon road from HObSOn is lined with
flames. Fires are working toward
timber holding of the Pine Lumber
Co. and MenaSha Wooden Ware com
pany and unless checked by rain, will
cause great damage. A big fire is
reported near the mill property Of the
YaWfey Lumber company at Hazel
hurst. The fires in most cases have
originated in SlaShingS that have not
been properly cleared and great dam
age is being done. The extremely
dry weather has made the rubbish on
these slashingS as dry as finder and
the fires burn fiercelY.

Kansas Clty SIOck AdrHH,
April T., 1902.
Receipts of cattle continue
very light, and prices to adj
vance. The increase in prices
was very general and was dis
tributed to all classes, with the
light butcher weights of either
sex showing a trite the most
strength. The top this week
and for the season was scored
today by Charles Butler, OF

Native COWS $50 to 600, native
heifers 400 to 600, bulls $50 to
500.
The market for stock and
feeding cattle shows but little
life, the demand is confined very
largely to heavy feeders that
are selling steady, while the
common grades are slow sale at
weak to lower prices.
The southern receipts were
very light this week, with APP
parently no end to the demand;
in fact the light weight medium
flesh cattle that are produced
by the southern feeders are just
the class of cattle that the
butcher is calling for at this
season. The top for the week
was $50 and this bunch We're
only moderately finished. The
prices range from $40 for plain
butcher steers to $50 for fair
butcher grades, COW and heiters
