Milton.


B F Hudson has purchased the Evan
Davis place on High street. 1t is re-
ported the price paid was $500. The
house cost $1,000 when built.
The report that Clark Kidder had sold
his farm to the st Paul railway to be
used in constructing the cutoff from
GAINESVILLE to Edgerton was not correct.
The sale was not made because of dis
agreement on price. However, it is ex-
pected that the sale will take place in the
immediate future. The line will doubt
less be built.
The attendance at the college this fall
promises to be larger than usual. Presi-
dent Daland has been spending large
part of his vacation visiting the several
localities in Iowa, Kansas and Illinois,
whence many of our students have come
and he has sent in very encouraging re-
ports. Another encouraging sign is that
nearly all the rooms in town usually oc
cupied by students are already engaged,
and it is going to be difficult to find
places for all applicants especially for
those who wish opportunities to work
for their board
Milton people are much stirred regard
ing the route of the electric line. 1t is
evident that the road will not be built
through Milton unless the company can
secure a right-of-way through the viii
lagos without trouble. 1t appears that
no trouble will be encountered where
lots have been plotted. A mass meeting
will be called in the near future to dis
cuss the matter.

NEVER VICTIMS OF CUPID.
There Are More Bachelors Than Old
Maids in the Census Emu
meratfOn.

It is estimated that there are now
in the United States 2,500,000 more
single men of marriageable age than
there are single women, the official fig
ures being as follows: Unmarried men,
1O,44s, 153; unmarried girls and women,
7,573,S19. The male population of the
United States, through the excess of
male immigration and the higher male
birth rate, is more than 100000 in ex-
cess of the female. The span of life is
on the average, longer for woman
than for a man and the marriageabl
age for women is several years younger
than the average for men. AS con-
sequence OF this the numberof widows
is very largely in excess of the number
of widowers. the figures being 2, 100000
and 100000 respectively, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
There are more divorced women VIII o
have not remarked than there are
divorced men, and for all these reasons
the number of the single men of mar
riageable age is larger than the num-
ber of single women. In New York it
is 100000, in Pennsylvania 100000, in
Ohio 10000, in Illinois 100000, in Cali
fornia $4,000, in Texas 10000 and in
Kansas $4,000. In Massachusetts, the
number of unmarried men exceeds the
number of unmarried women by only
few thousand. In Utah there are 35,-
600 unmarried men and $4,000 unmar-
ried women of ma riareab1e AGE Tn

of single men is $4,000 and of single

They Have Lost from Out Their Lives
Something That Cannot Be
Told in Words.

The wife who has passed her many
wears of married life in childless moth
erhocd has lost from out that life
greatness and pleasure that she may
not have realized at first, but that is
brought home to her with redoubled
force and meaning when she has passed
the zenith of youth and is coming to
understand that life is not perpetual
youth.
Keen anxiety and sorrow she may
have missed, also. Yet it is also true
that sit were better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at all"
The childless mother has not known
the depths Of degradation to which a
child can bring its parents, nor yet
has she known the most exquisite love
and bliss. Neither mas she known the
anguish of the sting of death, when
her fondest hopes have been laid low.
She has escaped great care and respon-
sibility, but she has lost from her life
in her unalloyed joy more than she has
escaped of sorrow.
The mother love is an elemental part
OF true ana WOmanly character, and
that it is part of her intended nature
is abundantly proven. The woman who
openly declares herself to have never
felt the tender, uplifting sentiment of
such love, at that moment admits her.

HOW to Drink Water.

A beginning Of kidney trouble lies in
the fact that people, especially wom-
en-, do not drink enough water. They
pour down tumblerfuls Of ice water
as an accompaniment to meal, but
that is worse than no water, the chill
preventing digestion, and Indigestion
being an indirect promoter of kidney
disease, says Good Housekeeping. A
tumbler of water slipped in the morn
ing Immediately on rising, another at
night, are recommended by physicians.
Try to drink as little water as possible
with meals, but take a glassful half
an hour to an hour before eating. This
rule persisted in day after day, month
after month, the complexion will i'm
prove, and the general health likewise.
Water drunk with meals should be
slipped, as well as taken sparingly.

THE WORLDS RICHEST MILE.
Situated I'm n Barren Desert of Aus
tralia and Has Twelve Very Pro-
duct.ve Gold Mines.

Water sells for $3.50 to $6.25 per
hundred gallons at Kalgoorlie. There
is not sign of vegetation at kalgoor-
lie. TO all appearances the Jumping
off place. of the earth is at kalgoor-
lie. And yet the richest square mile
in the world is at k&lgoorlie, says the
Chicago Tribune.
This barren desert of treasure is 400
miles inland from the town Of Perth
in western Australia. Seven years ago
gold was discovered there, rush for
the desert territory was started, and
now there is a town Of $4,000 people
built up in the waterless region.
This square mile Of treasure-bearing
desert is called the Gold Mile be-
cause of it's reputation as being the
richest gold d-bearing territory OF its
size on the earth. Its reputation has
been brought to this country by Rev.
Z. Gordon Savile, who is now on his
way east from Vancouver.
1.-The district was discovered some
wears ago" he said. land now there
are 12 gold mines at work on large
scale and about 40 others doing a lit
tie. The output is 50 100000 worth of
gold every month. The miners live in
kalgoorlie. The gold is found in a
reef of quartz formation. Some of the
mines are now being worked at the
2,OOO-foot level and the gold is found
to be just as rich as it was at the top.
''In 1895 some miners prospecting
near Kimberly in the north of the
western Australia desert started south
and found the reef. The news Of the
the new territory. Miners poured in
at the rate Of 1000 week and soon
all the availa BILE land was staked out
in claims.
For the entire 400 miles from Perth
there is not a sign of vegetation.
There is no water except that which
may be found standing in the gnamma
holes or basin-like foymations in the
stones. The prospecfor fills, his wa
ter bag from these and then strikes
out over the country. When they have
found a placer mine they have no wa
ter with which to work it and they
use shaker. That is aiseries of sieyes
arranged one above the other, with
the mesh smaller al the bottom. When
the dirt has been put through the
shaker it is tossed in the air and the
wind blows away the fine dust. The
gold then can be picked out.
''All the water we have is what is
taken from the mines and condensed,
and this sells at from $3.50 to $6.25
a hundred gallons. \ pumping system
is now being put in which will bring
water from Perth, 800 miles away, to
kalgoorlie. There will be ten relay
stations in the line. The system will
be in operation next year.
During the greater part of the year
the thermometer stands at lis in the
shade, and should prospector get
away from the gnamma hole without
water his sufferings are apt to be some
thing awful. There is now line of
railway from Perth and also tele-
graph line.''

HAS OUTGROWN A BAD NAME.
What Il Kentucky Newspaper O1
Forty Years Ago Said About
the State of Iowa.

In an old file of the Lexington
(ky) Observer printed in 1860, there
has recently been found letter from
a man in Iowa to friend in Ken
tucky advising him not TO purchase
at one dollar an acre land on which
now stands some of Iowa's most pros
porous cities. The~letter says:
'Those of our citizens contemplate
ing moving to the north or north
west had better ponder well before
doing SO. Let them read an extract
from a letter from gentleman of
high standing residing in Iowa, and
then think if the change is desir-
able one.
"'Do not trade for anything in the
way of real estate within the limits
of the state of Iowa, with the view
of selling it at any price within the
next five years.
"'The value of land is nominal;
you may count it at $1.25 or $40; /
have just sold lands bought in the
county north of your county for
which l paid ten dollars in 1857 (good
lands at one dollar per acre, and that
in trade).
"I consider lands anywhere with
in the limits of the state, unimproved,
dear at over $1.25 an acre, except
in counties bordering on the river.
"'No man<living out of the state
can have anything like a correct idea
of the utter hopelessness of the state
of things in Iowa. Speculation has
been the ruin of the state. The
river towns are so fiat that they can
never get up again until there is an
entire change in the population.
Towns themselves are so hopelessly
in debt that they can never get a
start again unless by paying off in
debtedness by reputation. One place
which contained population in 1857
of $4,000, is now reduced to less than
10000, and the people are leaving just
as fast as they can get money to get
away with. The place is in debt a
million and quarter! and she, as
well as Dubuque ct al. along the
river, is now talking of reputation!
So do not own lands in Iowa if you
can avoid it. 1t will make you just
that much poorer
