POISONING THE SYSTEM.

1t is through the bowels that the body is
cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps
these poisons in the system, causing headache,
dulness and melancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness unless
a remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action Of the
bowels. These little pills do not act violently
but by strengthening the bowels enables them
TO perform their own work. Never grippe or

WISCONSIN PINE.

The census bureau is fast closing up
its work and the bulletins are being
issued IN rapid succession. Some Of
Their. are of especial interest. This is
tire of that treating of the lumber in
dlstry of the country. Under the head
of Wisconsin the wood land ard stump
land ofthe state is given as 81, 80 square
miles or IS per cent. of the entire area
of the state An estimate of t5c stand
of white pine was made By Sargent in
1880, showing Al billion feet. Another
estimate by Roth in 1897 gave II billions
In the interval 50 billions had been cut.
Since 1897 about !, 800 millions have been
cut, and the cut is increasing, rather
than diminishing. Moreover, there are
reported as owned by lumbermen 4, $50
million feet. These facts suggest the
probability that DIR. Roth's estimate
may be rather small The lumber in
dustry did not acquire great prominence
IN the state uhtil 1870. In 1880 it
occupied third place, being exceeded by
Pennsylvania and Michigan. In 1890
it rose 10 second place, and in 1900 had
the largest product Of all the states. -

ROBBERY.

At some time during Sunday night,
or early Monday morning, the meat
market of Wartman 4 Giesler, located
on Washington St., was robbed. The
burglars gained entrance by going In
to the alley way between the Wartman
shop and the Schield Bros store where
found window partly opened through
which they crawled and entered the
front part of the market where the cash
drawer was located and rifled the same
of its contents. Considerable money
had been taken in during Sunday fore.
Don, but before closing up at noon,
Carl Wartman, who conducts this shop,
had placed the silver and paper money
in the safe, leaving only about $500 in
pennies and about $100 in nieKles in
the drawer. When he opened up the
store Monday morning he found but
cts in pennies in the drawer. He then
made an investigation and found where
the robbers had gained entrance
This store was robbed last fall, for
which crime two boys are now cen
fined in the industrial school at Wan
kesha Sunday nights work was
evidently done by grown individual,
who knew the surroundings. The win.
dow through which he entered was
left open for the purpose OF keeping
the neat cool over Sunday, and it was
quite evident that the ro5ber knew OF
this fact. Suspicion points to a GER
tain individual and his arrest will fol.
low as soon as little more evidence
has been gained of his part In the work.

LETTER FROM C. B. BIRD.

The following letter was received last
week by the editor of this paper from
Atty G. B. Bird, who with a party is
now travelling through Europe. The
letter was written in Germany and we
publish same thinking it might be of in
terest to his friends here:
MUNCHEN, July 5, 1902.
MY DEAR GENE
have but a few minutes to write but
thought you would be interested in the
enclosed program of the entertainment
where we celebrated Fourth of July.
We had a delightful two weeks In
Switzerland, then into Northern Italy,
spending a couple of days at Milan and
the same at Venice. We leave tomor-
row for Salzburg and then to Vienna
The Tyrol was beautiful country also.
The Italians are tough gang 1t is
either beg or tease you to buy all the
time. You can't walk along the street
but what they bob out of their shop
doors and try to get you into their
shops, a la spider and fly.
We are having a delightful trip all
around. Heinemann quit us in Swift
erland and went on ahead, but we felt
doubly repaid for staying there longer.
Albers and / will remain together until
we reach Cologne, about August LIST.
wish | could get time to write you a
descriptive letter so you could use it,
but that seems impossible. We are so
busy, that when a little breathing spell
comes, we are only too glad to rest.
However, we will soon be on our way
home | thought this little program
would show you what we found for an
imitation Fourth of July. The fire.
works were real good and the music,
too. We found very few Americans
here. | do not know whether that pro-
gram just happened to be given on this
day. or whether it was intended to draw
the Americans in the city.
Well, goodbye for while.

were played for the entertainment of
Americans:

THE FAIR,

We learn that the farmers in the west
ern part of the county are figuring on
making their grain, vegetable and fruit
exhibits at the fair this fall much more
extensive than in former years and from
the same source of information comes
the further statement that they also in
tend to distance the farmers of the east
ern section in the matter of premium
winnings.
The cattle department this year will
be feature, and the Judging of stock
will be done by Prof. Mcconnell, of the
State Agricultural College, who will
not only make the awards but win tell
why he makes them. Several bull
calves which will be exhibited will be
offered for sale, and these will be listed
later. Every farmer is urged to lend
his assistance in making the fair sue
cess. While the fair dates come during
thresning time, it is hoped that work
will be suspended on the farm for one
ds,y at least, and that Thursday, Sep
TENDER 4th, will be the banner day in
the farmers attendance.

FINED AND CONFINED.

VIM. Yonker, of the town of Easton,
who has gained so much notoriety of
late in his brutality to members of the
family, got himself into trouble again
Saturday night He came to town Sat
urday afternoon and after filing up on
| corn juice started for home. He had
not been home .ery long until he en-
gagged in an alteration with his father
in-law, Fred Fust Mr.. Fust is an old
man nearing the age of three score and
bers of the family could interfere. Yon-
ker had beat aud pounded the old man
numerically, which caused him to be
arrested that same evening. w Judge
Miller's court Monday morning Yon-
ker plead mot gailty'' to the charge of
assault, and trial was Immediately
commenced which was of short dur
alton, as the defendant had no witnesses
end the evidence against him being so
conclusive, he was accordingly found
guilty. Judge Miller imposed fine of
500 90 together with three months i'm
prisonment in the county Jail. which
will hold him from committing other
misdemeanors until the time set for his
trial at the next term of the circuit
court.
Yonker, it will be remembered, was
in Jail about two months ago, for having
most brutality kicked and beat his wife
| and was bound over to the circuit court
on the charge OF attempted murder.
That charge still hangs over him, and
upon promise of behaving himself in
the future, he was able to secure bail,
but it appears that his passions are of
the brute nature, and he violated the
trust imposed in him by his bondsmen.
The mans looks are enough to convict
him before any jury, let alone any evil
dence, and the further fact of his whip
ping his father-in-law will so strengthen
the states case that it is almost cer-
tainty that he is booked for few
years residence in the states prison at
Waupun.
Yonker's arrest was made by Sheriff
Marquardt and Undersheriff Chellis,
who were accompanied by Dist Atty,
Fred Genrich TO Chellis he stated
that he desired to go to a reighboring
house and get coat, which permission
was granted and in going across field,
bordered by woods, he made dash to
escape Chellis was forced to fire his
revolver off in the air twice before the
fellow would stop. He came back
sulkily, making various threats. The
other parties, who had heard the shots
fired, came running to the assistance of
the undersheriff who, by this time, had
Yonker, in tow, and the handouts were
put on him and he was brought to
| Wausau.
Previous 10 whipping his aged father
in-law he had slapped his wife and
struck at her with club, so it is
alleged. His wife, since her treatment
at his hands two months ago, has been
living with her father and is still an
unwell woman, and though Yonker had
been told to keep away from the Fust
home it appears that when crazed with
liquor he had gone there for the express
purpose of whipping the whole family.
