doctors Disagree"

An epidemic disease has overrun
the towns of Salem, Union and
Maiden Rock for the past three
months, and the doctors disagree as
to what to call it and as to whether it
is contagious. The symptoms as
given by physician of Maiden
Rock. in communication to the
state board of health are these:
1.-THE disease is confined TO chill
dren under Is. 1t begins with a
chill, vomiting, high fever, sore
throat, both tonsils being involved.
There are often membranous patches
upon the tonsils and the tongue is
coated, except the tip and edges
which are red, and through the coat
ing appear numerous small, red
spots. The throat, tongue and tom
sis In clearing up are red and swo1-
len. In from IL to SO hours a rash
appears upon the neck, body, arms
and legs. There is also some de1ir-
ium. When the rash disappears the
fever subsidies and in a few days
the skin peels off,"
If the doctors don't know what
this disease is they had better ask
the mothers. They can tell them.

Arbor and Bird Day.

State Superintendent Harvey has
prepared and issued to the schools
an "Arbor and Bird Day Annual, .
to aid the teachers and pupils in
the most effective manner of observ-
ing arbor and bird day, May 9.
The Annual is book of sc pages.
The mechanism of the pamphlet is
excellent. II contains many fine
cuts of school houses, showing
their situation with trees about
them, and the interior of number
to give an idea of school room
decorations. This annual is the
most elaborate and exhaustive of
any one of its kind issued. 1t con-
tains much of suggestion as to the
literary exercises for the schools on
the occasion of arbor and bird day
and a great deal of select and
interesting literature upon the
subjects contemplated to be con-
sidered in connection with the
work of this day-Spring, flowers,
trees and birds.
1t has been but few years since
arbor day was instituted, but con-
siderable progress has been made
in lettering the conditions of the
schools in the respects of the
identifying of grounds and in the
interior adornment of the school
rooms. Much remains to be done
to make the schools attractive-a
place where children will delight to
be. Persistence in keeping these
questions before the people-the
teachers, pupils and patrons-will
gradually improve the situation
until an ideal environment for
school houses shall be attained
places where the children shall be
nurtured under the most pleasurable
conditions.
Have you plucked the apple blossoms in the
spring.
In the spring?
And caught their subtle odors in the spring.
Pink buds pouting at the light
Crumpled petals baby white,
Just to touch them, % delight

Alton Packard. April II.

The last lecture in the Peoples
Course will be held in the M. E.
church next Thursday night. This
will be a unique entertainment, an
evening of profit and fun. The
lecturer, Alton Packard, has long
been a newspaper illustrator and
his pictures and cartoons have
produced much merriment all over
this land. This lecture will far
exceed in interest the newspaper
illustrations. He draws his pictures
comic conceits, character sketches,
cartoons and scenes of beautiful
pression-upon great easels, so
that they can be readily seen with
every feature distinguishable, using
chalks of different co1ors, according
to the occasion, and following his
pencil with a running fire of words
in apt explanation. The lecture
gives promise of much enjoyment.

Solomon Hale Burr.

i February 9, 1811-April l, 1902
Between these two dates lies the life
of Solomon Hale Burr. Ninety-one
years of as pure and noble manhood
as ever ST. Croix county has known
Born in Conway, Mass, the first
twenty-five years of his life were
spent under the shadow of Am
herst College, in a generation when
the most viri1e influences prevailed.
In 1888 he joined that notable col
ony, which the year before had
come west, bringing their church
with them like the Pilgrim Fathers,
and founded the town of Princeton,
Illinois. To his log cabin on his
homestead he brought his New Eng
land bride and wrought as pion-
eer, when the frontier lay far east
of us. In those stirring days ignor-
ing mans legislation and obedient
to the higher law of humanity, in
company with Owen Lovejoy, he
proved the friend and helper of the
fugitive slave, and to the end of life
his hand and purse were ever open
to those who had need.
In 1855, after twenty-five years of
pioneer life in Illinois, he moved to
Wisconsin, settling upon the Kin
nickinnic, and for forty-seven years
he has lived in this community. To
few men it is given to command
more profoundly the respect of their
fellow men than he did. Steadfast
in character; even in temper; sane
in judgment; seeking truth from all
sides; firm in conviction yet with
charity for all, his life has been a
sturdy power for righteousness.
Of course such man was a
staunch helper in the church, in
whose fellowship he spent seventy
years.
The life of Mr.. Burr was chasten-
ed by many sorrows. A wife and
eight children sleep beneath the
sod. Two fell asleep in infancy;
the others were cut down in the
freshness of young manhood and
womanhood-one of them soldiers
sacrifice to his country. Mr.. Burr
was twice married-in 1884 to Miss
Eunice Chi1ds of Conway, Mass,
and in 1851 TO Miss Lucinda Bar
nard, who, after more than fifty
years of married life, still remains
a little longer in the old homestead
with her only surviving daughter,
Mrs. Charles Fuller. d. B. S.

Caution!

This is not gentle word-but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase for 75c the only
remedy universally known and a
remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat
and Lung troubles without losing
it's great popularity all these years,
you will be thankful we called your
attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are SO many ordina-
ry cough remedies made by drug
gists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but
for severe Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup-and especially for Con-
sumption where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during
the nights and mornings, there is
nothing like German Syrup. Sold
by all druggists in the civilized

The anti-court house party still
persist in the fight against the court
house at Hudson, although it does
not seem that they have any definite
idea as to the result of their action.
At the recent election the town of
Hammond voted $50 to be levied by
tax to fight the payment of the bonds
and interest. The county treasurer
has been enjoined from paying the
interest on the court house bonds,
and he also refuses to pay the inter
est on the asylum bonds, holding
that if the court house bonds are
void so are the asylum bonds. A
pretty muddle this. The asylum is
finished and so is the court house.
Both buildings are paid for. The
county is enjoying the benefit of
these buildings. The money for
building them was hired. The
bonds upon which the money was
obtained were illegally issued. But
the county will pay its Indebtedness
caused by hiring the money. OF
this there is no doubt. Then who
is to benefit by this expensive iiti-
gation1

With this issue, April 10, 1902,
the JOURNAL, hale and hearty"
enters upon volume 46. Expert
ence, with the passing of time, has
prompted occasional improvements
in the paper as circumstances and
the needs of the service seemed
to warrant. At the beginning of last
year the paper was changed in its
form from the old nine-column folio
TO the more modern Six-column
quarto. This change added some
space to the paper and gave much
better opportunity for the display
of advertisements But recently the
paper was still further enlarged
and printed with a clean dress of
new nine-point type. In increasing
the size of the paper from a six-col-
umn to seven-column quarto,
we add eight columns to the
JOURNAL. This means more than
the adding of a column to each
of its eight pages. The sheet is
extended in length in the same pro-
portion as the width is added to,
The seven-column quarto is larger
than a six-column by nearly one
fourth. AS thus enlarged THE RIv-
Err FALLS JOURNAL is the largest of
the fifteen papers published in the
counties of Pierce and ST. Croix.
AS to the merits of the paper, in
trinsically and comparatively, it
may speak in it's weekly presenta-
ton. 1t is intended that it shall
contain each week all the local news
worth publishing, and discuss in its
editorials and literary articles live
questions of immediate interest.
