Wilder-WOOd Wedding.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Gilley
of Stebbinsville, Wis, was the scene of a
very pretty wedding last Thursday
evening, May %, when their daughter,
Lula B. Wood, and Lynn J. Wilder of

eight o'clock the strains of the Lohengrin
wedding march announced the presence
of the bride and groom, who took the
solemn vows in response to the earnest
words of Rev. Wallace A. Short of
Evansville. The bridal gown was of
white organdy and the wedding bouquet
was of brides roses. The rooms we're
tastefully decorated with palms, smilax
and cut flowers. After the ceremony,
dainty refreshments were served A
gathering of about eighty friends and
relatives were present. Those from a
distance we're: Mrs. Wesley Preston

are recognized by all who know him.
Their many friends wish them long
life of happiness and success.

CONFINE THE DOGS.
DIR. Roberts Is Certain That Hydrophobia
Is About.


Is About.
DIR. Roberts, the state veterinary, was
at the Cooper farm near the foot of Lake
koshkonong on Saturday and again on
Monday to watch the development of
cases of hydrophobia in cows recently
bitten by dog supposed to be affected
with rabies. When seen by represen-
tatlve OF this paper after his last visit,
DIR. Roberts said there was no doubt
whatever in his mind that the Cooper cat
tie, tive in number that have been killed
had hydrophobia. He never witnessed
more pronounced case than the COW
which he killed Monday morning. The
animal was confined in the shed and the
moment any object came near it savage
ly flew at it, rushing blindly against the
sides of the enclosure until exhausted
and fell in a fit. The DR.. also reported
that a dog which had symptoms of being
mad had escaped from Milton Junction
and was supposed to be at large. He in
formed the board of health of Milton of
the circumstances and advised them
that he believed it was their duty to
send the six-year-old Wesend child that
was bitten by the Cooper dog to the
Pasteur hospital in Chicago for treat
ment. Mr.. Cooper went to Chicago Fri
day and is now taking treatment in the
Pasteur institute.
Thursday morning DR.. McManus took
little Emma Weisend and Charlie Husen,
the children who had been bitten by the
Cooper dog to Chicago for treatment at
the Pasteur institute. The mothers of
the children, aged 6 and years re-
spectively accompanied them. The
treatment requires from Is to q days
and cost 500 for each patient. The
parents in both families are poor and
there is talk in the neighborhood
where they reside of raising popular
subscription to pay the expenses of the
treatment if the town of Milton does not
do so.
More cases of hydrophobia are report
ed about the state than before in many
years. With couple of hundred dogs
running at large in this city and in light
of the unfortunate occurrence on the
Cooper farm but short distance away,
it would seem there is good deal of
danger that the Infection might be in
our midst at any time. AS matter of
precaution ought not the city authori-
ties to lay down some stringent regula-
tons for the muzzling or confinement of
the array of ours that infest this city?

"Quo Vadis."

The fact that Messrs. Whitney and Knowles own and control the dramatic rights to Sienkiewiez' immortal Quo Vadis' dram atized by Stanislaus Stange to the unqualified approval of the author and staged by the past master of stage craft, MT George Schaeffer, is sufficient guarantee that the production heralded for the Jefferson Theatre on next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee con- tains all the clements of it's original prod igious success
 Puerile efforts made from time to time by unknown. yet ambitious managers to road and stock companies to present Quo Vadis." have met with utter defeat. and in many instances have been subject not only to adverse criticism, but to ridicule. with the result that they now languish by the wayside The reason is apparent. The Whitney-Knowles authorized version embodies the salent features and gain ed for Quo Vadis'' its widespread notori- ety. The title alone could not be protect ed, consequently the field was invaded by many who sought financial gain through a spurious channel.

The team has a combination of new steps in soft-shoe dancing, some swell clothes and a few good jokes with a song or two mixed in for variety.
 However they are not the only good things on the bill. Cole and DeLosse, com edy wire-walkers. give a clever exhibi- tion. On slack wire they perform all kinds of difficult feats, single and double, the last of which Is the riding of a bicycle on the wire.

 The prettiest part of the act Is the rapid change of ooloring. By merely dim fects are secured. The scene is in a Jap anese garden. In the foreground is an ugly idol in a bed of chrysanthemums and a cherry tree in full bloom. In the back ground is a rice garden and a high moun- tain. The scenery Is really striking and dazzling.

GOLDEN BROWN.
The Color Sought In Coffee.

When a person has been shown that change in food or drink can make and keep one we'll 1t is a thing not likely to be forgotten.
 Coffee is a killer for many people. and of course, when left off. the user will probably regain degree of health without any outside help, but when Postum Food Coffee is used the return to health is much more rapid, for Postum is distinct and we'll defined health builder with delicious coffee flavor and a beautiful deep brown color that changes to golden brown when cream is added.
 A Chicago man, Peter G. Hoist, at Sl5 Englewod Ave, writes, Reading in the paper the other day something about Postum Cereal. it awoke in me a remini- scent vein.
 About five years ago. when was a 1 miserable dyspetic, I first heard of Pos | tum Cereal Coffee and put 1t to a care ful test.
 l had been afflicted, for years. with chronic dyspepsia and all the medicines I had tried were in vain. One by one had to leave them off and was in despair as to what I should do for relief
 My first taste of Postum was about ten o'clock one morning. I did not dare 10 take cream with it for I knew what the result would be with my stomach. That is I thought I did, I have since learned that cream can be taken in Postum even by bad dyspeptics. but I had my first taste with only hot water in 1t and lit- tie sugar. The second cup followed the first and a third followed the second. I took my departure munching some of the dry grains of Postum as I was deter mined to investigate its effects thor oughly.
 That day I had no dinner and exper- fenced no distressing sensations, on the contrary felt as though my appetite had been appeased.
 The next day I began to use Postum regularly and before the first package had been entirely used I discovered the most encouraging symptoms. The dys- pepsia and headaches which l had been subject to daily, entirely disappeared, also the distressing vomiting spells. The bowels improved steadily and regularly.
 I ate cautiously but was sustained by the Postum Coffee. After the first pack age tried 1t with milk. then with cream, without experiencing the least inconven- fence. Of course I was delighted and the future looked bright. From that first ex- perience up to date my health has been splendid. I have increased in weight from 139 to lH pounds and can digest anything desire. 1 can say honestly and i cheerfully that would recommend Postum to any one suffering the tortures l of dyspepsia"
