mossbacks that they didn't know
how to talk over modern telephone.
The general opinion seems to be
that the Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany ought to be willing to give the
subscribers of the local system a
little better services, than they are
now receiving-and pay for the
change themselves.
The movement in Northern
Wisconsin agricultural lands has
not been very brisk the past
few weeks, being a somewhat
dull time for transfers. De-
cember-especially during the
forepart, was brisk, and new
settlers came in large numbers.
Most of the new corners are from
Iowa and Nebraska, where the
same period of transition was
gone through twenty-five years
ago, as is now taking place in
northern Wisconsin. It is inter-
esting and at the same time a
very encouraging sign, to notice
the steady advance that is taking
place in the prices of lands.
Seven or eight years ago land
could be purchased mostly any
where north of Rice Lake on the
Omaha line, at from 81 an acre
up, and in some cases the
prices were even smaller for
large tracts. Transfers are
numerous of record, where
years ago large tracts of cut
over lands were sold at forty and
fifty cents an acre. Today it is
difficult to buy piece of land
anywhere in northern Wisconsin
at less than three dollars an acre,
while the regular price is more
like S. an acre, and from that up
to $25.
The people here who know
what the country is have no
doubt that the increase in
values still continue. The per-
NANCY of northern Wisconsin as
an agricultural region is estab-
lished beyond a doubt. There
has been nothing of a boom char
acter, but all along has been a
steady, permanent growth, and
the settlers who came to northern
Wisconsin during the past few
years areSatisfed. Such counties
as Bayfield,, Douglas and Price,
that have made exhibits at state
and northern fairs, have captur-
ed the biggest and most desire
able prizes. But it is principally
as a dairy country that northern
Wisconsin attracts the most at
tention. Nowhere in the north
west has there been such sue
cess in this line so far as tried,
than here. The land is rapidly
goirg into the hands of moneyed
men, who find profit in disposing
of it to actual settlers, and the
fact that cautious fnanciers are
not afraid of a decrease in values
speaks much in itself. Thous-
ands of new settlers have gone
into northern Wisconsin during
the past year, and there are
thousands more preparing to do
the same thing the coming year.

Suit Against the Governor.

Frankfort, KY, June 15.-The
Louisville Herald and George Riley,
its correspondent, to day filed suit
Tor a mandamus in the Franklin Cir
cult Court against Governor Beck.
ham and Secretary of State C. b. Hill
to compel them to permit the plain
tiffs to inspect the records of the
Governors Office, including the par
dons.
Governor Beckham recently elected
Riley from the executive office and
refused to permit him to see the rec
ords, telling him, when your paper
sends man to this office who will
not lie and steal, he may see the rec
ords."
The following day Riley applied to
the Secretary OF State and was told
that the Governor had no confidence
in him and he could not trust him
with the records. Riley's offense
consisted in printing the names Of
twenty odd alleged pardons granted
by the Governor of Breathitt county
criminals, when, in fact, there were
only seven pardons granted.
The case will be transferred to
Georgetown for immediate hearing.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

The news reports tell OF a boy
named James, in one OF the New En-.
gland states, who had saturated his
mind with the cheap stuff written
about jesse James, resolved to emu.
ia.e some OF the deeds Of his name
sake, organized and led a band OF
Juveniles, younger than himself, his
trusted band, on a mysterious
raid. After leading them a long way
through the woods, one little girl be-
came tired and scared and cried to
go home. The leader could think OF
nothing less than death his great
prototype would visit upon the head
OF a "quitter" or traitor SO he
raised his "trusty weapon, n small
bore rifle, and fired. The first shot
GU. off the end Of the little girls
thumb. Then ashamed Of his poor
craftsmanship, he shot again, and
tie bullet sped through the little
girls breast, making mortal
wound The boy deliberately cut n
notch in the stock OF his "trusty
weapon" to record his victim, The
boy in mil exhibits no remorse and
keeps the deeds Of his hero before
him as excuse for his crime. Who in
the sight Of God is responsible for the
taking of that little girls life? We
think It will be writ on the wrong
side OF tie eternal ledger against the
man who wrote and thepublisher who
disseminate such literature to poison
the minds Of the youth OF the land.

Both the st. Louis Star and Globe
Democrat have been insisting that
the Democrats must nominate Mr.,
Folk for Governor. When the Re-
public put the question plainly
whether they would support Mr..
Folk, il nominated on the Democ
ticket, they both confessed they
would not. They proiessed to be i'm
bued with the patriotic desire OF see
Ing the Democrats nominate their
best man. The Globe Democratsaid
"the Republicans will look after their
own lines in their own way" That
is exactly what the Democrats have
always done and will continue to do.
1t will do to gamble on that the best
interests Of the Democratic party
will be best subserved by doing the
very opposite to what these partisan
Republican sheets advise.

Public sentiment enforces laws.
The public roads in counties are as
good as public sentiment demands.
Men may howl and curse all they
please about bad roads, but the
proof of tbe-pudding is "Chawing the
rag" The county does not have
good roads because the people who
make so much noise about bad roads
are not really in earnest about the
matter. Too many men want good
roads who do not want to spend
either cash or sweat in making them.
We know some farmers who have big
mud holes three months in the year
in public roads, within ten rods OF
their residences, and they wonder
WHY the id road boss don't fix
that mud hole. "-Ho&ard Co. Ad-
vertiser.

WORLDS FAIR COMMISSION OF
BATES COUNTY.

Bates county, one of the wealthiest
and most populous in the state, must
be represented and have her resources
suitably displayed at the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis next year. 1t is
going to take hard work and sys-
tematic effort to do this, for unless
we make a ereditsble display, it were
better that we make none.
We suggest that the county court
appoint a Worlds Fair Commission
for Bates county, composed OF one
member from each township. This
commission should be invited to
meet with the county court at an
early date and organize the board
by the selection of a president, secre-
tary and treasurer. The commits
sion could then discuss and formulate
the best methods OF procedure to
raise the necessary funds, gather,
preserve and arrange the county's
products for display. In appointing
the commissioners the court should
select the very best men, without re.
gard to politics, and all the citiz ms
who have a pride in their county and
homes will assist in this laudable
enterprise.
1t strikes us this is the best plan to
pursue, as it gives official sanction
to the board OF commissioners from
the very outset.

SKIN-TORTURED
BABIES
And Tired, Fretted
Mothers
Find Comfort in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment
When All Other Remedies and
Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep
for skin-tortured babies and rest for
tired, worried mothers in warm baths
with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anoint-
ings with Cuticura Ointment, purest of
emollient skin cures, to be followed in
severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura
Resolvent Pills. This is the purest,
sweetest, most speedy, permanent and
economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, crusted and pimply skin and
scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in
fants and children, as well as adults,
and is sure to succeed when all other
remedies and the best physicians fail.
The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema; the frightfui
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as In milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement Is made regarding them that
Is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty Of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
