The Length of Life is Increasing


The average length of human
life Is constantly and steadily In
creasing, having, according to Dr.
George NJ. Kober, professor OF
hygiene In Georgetown university,
D c.. doubled within the last three
centu. les. In the sixteenth CEN
fury 1t was between ID and 20
years While to day 1t Is 40. The
principal ayenci.s 10 this pro-
longation of lite, DR.. Kober believe,
are more attention to the air we
breathe and more care as to the
water we drink. This opinion is
sustained by the statistics of large
cities, which show that, o wing to
improved sanitation, the introduc
ton of sewers and Of public water
supplies, their rates of mortality
within the past a. years have been
reduced to about one half. Do you
want 10 prolong your life and
increase your power? Then breathe
Jeeply, and drink plenty of pure
Tater between, not at meals; not
iced water or boiled water, but
distilled water.

YORK STATE FOLKS.
Play to Standing Room Only. Some
Railroad Notes.

The York State Folks played In
the Auditorium last night to large
audience, every seat being full,
chairs were put In the isles and
many had to stand up. The per
for nance was better than last We r
and everybody went home pleased
and delighted with the perform
ance.
We wish every man who opposes
railroads or other improvements
could have been present. In this
play, Simon Peter, rich man, op
posed the building Of a railroad
through his town and land, because
he was required to pay some taxes
on his property for bonds voted by
the people. He Is so angry at
what the people have done he falls
out with his life long friend and
neishbor, he tells his friend be has
tried to ruin him by voting for
these railroad bonds and proceeds
to injnre him In every way he can,
Later on when the railroad Is built
he sells his land for a good, round
sum which makes him independent
" rich. He finally confesses tine
railroad has been great blessing
In disguise and they live happy to,
gether ever after.
This play Is true to life where
ever you 60. When we voted to
Issue bonds to aid In building a
railroad In this county, the Review
took an active part In advocating
that election. Some people became
very angry and said we were trying
to rain them by increasing their
taxes. Three or four men who had
been life long patrons of the Re-
view discontinued their paper be-
cause we favored the railroad. Now
what Is the result? We are going
to have a railroad and not cent OF
taxes will have to be paid because
the company want all the stock
themselves and will not let the DIS
tricts subscribe for stock. So no
one will have to pay cent more OF
taxes on account of the railroad.
Again, these men will have less
taxes to pay because the railroad
tax will amount to large sum
which will decrease our county and
district taxes so long as we have a
county. The railroad then instead
of making taxes higher = Ill cause
them to be much less. In addition

A few people In this city have
today enjoyed the delicacy that Is
considered decidedly unusual at
this time of the year-roasting
ears which were brought to this
city this, morning by Fisher Bros
of Hannibal, o. One thing worth
mentioning Is that the corn Is really
foe and worth almost any price at
this season. Roasting ears are a
delicacy at any old time, but to
have them on ones table almost at
Christmas time, makes them Of
double value.

Nomination papers are being circu-
lated in this city and county and, in
fact, throughout this entire judicial
district, calling upon Hon. ChaS. NJ.
Webb to again become candidate for
circuit judge, which election will take
place this spring. Every voter, The
Gazette ventures to say, who has the
opportunity to do SO, will attach his
signature to this call. Judge Webb
was appointed circuit judge in 1888,
and has been elected three times. each
time without opposition, which will
be repeated in April next, and is the
strongest testimonial that could be
given to his judicial ability, justice
and fairness. He is recognized as one
of the most able judges in Wisconsin,
a man of unquestioned honesty and
integrity, respected alike il and out
Of the profession.-Stevens Point

There has been considerable talk in
connection with the building of the
new high school of opening Vine street
from SycamOur street to First ave-,
or the street on which the new school
grounds front to the west. This is a
continuation Of the street running
east from the wagon bridge, and if it
were open before the hauling of
material begun it would prove big
saving to teamSterS as it is two blocks
nearer than by any other street to the
grounds. 1t is only a question of time
anyway when there would be big
demand for the opening of this street
and it would be well to start the
matter going at once.

All of the banks in the state have
received circular issued by Chief
Wilkie, Of the secret service at Wash
ington, in which it is stated that a
counterfeit $40 gold certificate is in
circulation in all parts of the country.
The circular says that it is an
unlimited photograph, and that it
would not deceive anyone who had
been in the habit of handling money.
In spite of this fact, however, there
is considerable danger with counter
felt bills of this kind in circulation.
Although the bankers are protected,
the inexperienced are open to the
fraud. 1t is not believed that any Of
the bogus bills have been passed in
this city as yet.
