Letter From ROckdale.
ROCKDALE, Wis, March 4, 10

ROCKDALE, WIS.,, March 4, 1902.
For more than half a century the
Rockdalian has been content with the
village store, the village mill and the vii
lage shop, and the continued course of
his happy life has never been disturbed
by the rush and scramble of village
boom. But today all is changed and the
once quiet village is spinning around
whirligig like with a shining prospect of
an Incorporated city. The prospective
railroad has given the place such an i'm
petus that even KoshkOnopg creek rushes
through the town with double speed and
foaming fury and it's roar can now
be heard beyond the high hills of Oak
land town. Shops, factories and lumber
yards are all scrambling for sites, while
department store managers are anxiously
waiting to secure tickets over the new
line to the new city. Politicians are pre-
pairing for battle royal at the coming
municipal election and former Ed
derton man, Jens Lund, has been select
ed by the Peoples party as a candidate
for mayor. The board of trade man eats
his bummelkasse at the cafe under the
new auditorium on Cambridge street
and lauds his luck in the yodle of his
native tongue. The opera house was
crowded every night last week and the
Air Castle company is filling an engage
ment this week that is nightly drawing
people from their cozy homes away out
in Utica Any attempt to predict what
the future has in store for this city
would be as futile as to attempt to drain
Lake Koshkonong by dipping the water
out teaspoonful at time. Springtime
and prosperity are certainly ours and to
both we extend the glad hand of well
come. HANS HoRNER.

B S Miller of Rhinelander, Wis, is a

John Quade and julius Rau suffered
peculiar accidents while unloading a car
load of Northern Wisconsin hay Mon
day. Each dislocated the knee joint of
one of his legs, by the heavy bales falling
on them, the accidents occurring exactly
the same way, both within three-quarters
of an hour.
It is seldom that these columns record
an event more sad than the sudden
death of Miss Ethel Bevens, which took
place at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs O n Bevens, at North Johnstown,
at 1870 Tuesday afternoon. Miss Bev-
ems was just blossoming into beautiful
womanhood loved by a wide circle of
friends and adored by her parents and
brother.

Success Has Crowned His Efforts

Much is said and written nowadays
about chronic diseases and their posi-
BILE cure. We read in the metropolitan
dailies of the wonderful cures effected
by the noted specialists, but only COM
parative few are aware Of the fact that
we have a specialist at home who is
meeting with unlimited success in the
treatment of all chronic diseases. That
man is DR.. W. J. Black. He has been in
Edgerton for the past six months, and
for the hundreds of cures effected he
has testimonials which are the highest
encomiums possible to obtain. No mat
ter what your ailment Or the nature of
or middle aged, by consulting DR.. Black
you will get an honest opinion as to the
possibility of receiving relief. At pres
four days of each week, and Judging by
the press notices of the persons who have
been benefited by his treatment, success
has crowned his every effort in our
neighboring city. The large class of
people who are today suffering from
some chronic disease will be pleased to
know that consultation and examination
by this noted specialist are absolutely
free. If he undertakes to treat you, it
will be by the latest and most approved
methods known to medical science. To
the suffering the note of warning should
be sounded, that representation simply
tends to lengthen the shadows of misery
with which your life is clouded. DIR.
Blacks headquarters are at the q. s..
Hotel in this city and he may be con-
suited Friday and Saturday of each week.
