In married life is generally
made on all equal footing
of health in man and wife.
But how soon, in many
cases, the wife loses the
start and fades in face and
fails in flesh, while her
husband grows even more
rugged and robust.
There is one chief cause
for this wifely failure and
that is, the failure of the
womanly health, When
there is irregularity or an
unhealthy drain, infam-
nation, liberation or
female weakness, the gen.
eral health is soon inn
paired.

Dear Sir; The annoyance caused
by short measure in paints that are
sold by the gallon is worse than
the loss in the shortage, Misled by
the makers representations as to how
far y gallon will so, you buy too lit
tie OF every Sort and must send for
moro in the midst of tha work,
Besides, short measure man Is,
doubtless, also u oheater in other
ways; his paint is likely to cover per-
haps two-thirds rs much rs he says.
This also YOU find out while the work
is going on, aud the painting must
wait while you send for more,
Even this is not all, nor the worst.
II it wears half as long as he says,
YOU are lucky, You have the whole
job to do over again IN year or two;
aud perhaps your paint is not really
good for that short time,
ono law OF lying is that liars lie
most where it's hardest To catch EN-,
Another Is that liar lies everywhere
he can,

LINDEN MINES
All in Active Operation, With
Large Output of Lead, Zinc,
and Sulphur Ores.
TWO LARGE CONCENTRATIONS.
Methops Employed by Mr.. Mason
and the Milwaukee, Company.
PAST AND PRESENT.

PAST AND PRESENT.
On last Saturday afternoon, in
company with Editor Taylor of the
Southwest Wisconsin, representa-
tive of the Democrat visited some of
the mines at Linden. For over seven
ty years the everlasting hills there
have been attacked by experienced
miners and made to yield up high
grade lead and zinc ores; but never
before has mining operations there
been carried on quite so extensively
as at the present time. In all nearly
one hundred men are employed, and
they are using the best methods and
operating the latest improved ma
chinery for mining and milling ores.
N. H. A. Mason, who has lease of
the great Heathcocll range, now the
property of the Ross Brothers, IS
pushing operations with vigor. He
keeps about fifty men at work in the
mines and operating his mill or con
centrator. Besides the engine at the
mill, two other large engines are
used for unwatering the mines and
hoistiug the ores. The larger one is
located at the Ross & Henry pump
shaft on what is called the "big fiat. =
Four teams are constantly employed
in hauling the ores to the concentra-
tor, which is situated ON the Morrison
stream, only u short distance from
the mines. The concentration is what
is known as as twelve-jtg mill, and it
shows good results in the large guam
titles of 6e which it turns out ready
for the market. Thomas Hicks is Mr..
Mason's reliable and efficient super
intendent.
The Milwaukee parties who are OPP
Grating the Stephens mine, east of the
village, have a fine new concentration
almost ready to begin operations, 1t
is of the same capacity as Mr..
Mason's mill, and is situated at the
mouth of the shaft, where a large
quantity of ore is piled up ready TO
be milled. Here the only supply OF
water available for the concentration
is that pumped from the mine, and
so a large reservoir has been con
structed, in order that the water may
be saved and used over again.
Joining the Stephens on the south,
is the mine owned and operated by
the Glanville Brothers, which is one
of the best paying mines in south
western Wisconsin, Only four or five
men are employed in working it, but
they bring TO the surface large guam
titles of bleudc, or black jack, in such
pure shape that with very little clean
ing, which is doue by hand, it is
ready for the market, and brings the
highest price. The output of sulphur
ore from this mine is also of consid-
cradle market value.
There are also other mines in the
Linden district which are worked
more or less successfully, among
them the famous old Robarts range,
on J. ]. Heathcock' 5 land, which dur
ing the last scveGal years has been a
great producer of lead and zinc ores.

crat. and, OF course. has no faint of
Organism. ut is high time he says,
that the Democrats of the South realized
that they have nothing to gain by coquet-
ting with Populism by following
of conservative and thoughtful men
everywhere, and which, during the last six
years. have too often united against the
Democratic party all who had dollar to
lose by the debasement of the metallic
standard, or whose success was to be
sought by the exertion of their hands or
brains After abjuring Populism and
Bryanism Mr.. Ryan advises Southern
Democrats to adopt the policy of
moderate tariff for revenue without
prejudice to domestic industries, to declare
in favor of sound money currency, and to
take moderate ground against the invasion
of the field of State legislation by the ma
tional government.
All this is well enough, but it is to be re-
gretted that Southern Democrat who is
so sound on some questions did not see fit
to warn his party of the grave menace to
popular government involved in it's present
policy Of disfranchising a large class of
legal voters. If the effects of this policy
were felt only by the negroes, against
whom II is primarily directed, it would be
bad enough, but it is felt by the whites
also. For years past elections in the
South have been so one-sided that white
voters are getting out of the habit of 60
ing to the polls. In many Southern States
a majority Of the whites do not vote. The
following are official figures.

ing we had a membership of 1854 To-day

far as game is concerned. There are now
but five States I'm which we have not yet
organized divisions. These are Delaware,
Indian Territory, Mississippi, North Caro-

prosecuted 2l7 persons for infractions of
fish and game laws, and have secured
205 convictions. We have paid rewards
of $40 in each of twenty-three cases."
DR.. Harry Lee. of Chicago, said game
laws were more laxly enforced in Illi-
nois than in most States of the Union. He
told of the practice of a number of So
called sportsmen who yearly slaughtered
ducks by wholesale and by the most ques-
tionable means. He warned the Minnesota
and North Dakota authorities against
several Chicago men, who every spring
made expeditions into the Northwest for
the purpose of securing birds eggs. These
men, for the most part, were disguised as
travelling photographers. and their camera
cases were employed to carry the eggs.
One of the gang, the smoothest and most
successful, travels as an evangelist and
makes DEVILS lake and Sweetwater lake
his headquarters. He inquired spiicitous-
ly after the spiritual welfare of the farmers,
and, like his companions, was armed with
a fake camera. This, when filled, he would
take to the railroad depot, where the eggs
were shipped to Chicago, labeled mega
tives, handle with care"

In these times, when corporations are to
be dealt with, there should be some power
in the highest court to deal with irregulari-
ties. To begin in a local court with a view
of reaching the Supreme Court often takes
too much time. 1t would if an investiga-
tion were to be made into an alleged coal
combination some matter of equally
grave Importance to the public. The main
argument made against the bill, however.
was that it was a concentration of judicial
power. The Supreme Court, it was said.
would try the individual outside of his
neighborhood, whereas he should be tried
in his own county. Sometimes there is little
difference between the extreme of what is
called personal liberty and lawlessness. In
a State the laws should be enforced so as
to insure the highest security of life and
property; but there are conditions of pub
lie feeling which make the enforcement of
the laws impossible. The attorney gen.

was that of John Smith. a fireman In the

Ger and sentenced 10 one years imprfson-

To about 1916. The decision was based on
the broad ground that the accused had not
