STILL FINDING COLD.
N. G. g. Rasmussen Finds Large Vein Gf
Rich Quartz on His Farm.

Rich Quartz on His Farm.
The farmers o. che town Of Pleasant
Prairie are still finding gold and the
latest vein was struck yesterday on
the farm of N. c. G. Rasmussen, two
miles southwest of the city. A large
amount Of the quartz taken from the
vein was brought to the city today and
shown to the local jewelers.. The jew
elers feel convinced that there is a
small amount of gold in the quartz
but they are of the opinion that it is
not Of sufficient quantity to make it a
paying venture to work the land. Ras-
mussen states that the vein Of quartz
runs all through his farm and that if
the metal IS gold he feels that there is
enough there to supply the United
States MINIS for number Of years.

Telephone Fight in the Council.


A lengthy petition signed by all the
people owning property on Ashland
Avenue, north of Market street, was
presented to the council. The petition
was protest against the setting of
telephone poles by the Citizens Co.
The people stated that the poles were
a damage to the property and asked
that the matter be referred 20 a COM
Tnittee and that the committee make
an effort to force the wires under
ground. The petition was referred to
the committee on Streets and Alleys
and report will be made at the next
meeting of the council. The committee
was also asked to make an effort to Sc
cure some concessions for the city

Balm Wagon Company Petitions City
Council to vacate Pearl and Church
Streets in the Plant.
LEVY is MADE AT ELEVEN MILLS.
Council Make Move to Take Up che Pro-
position for Cheap Gas-Annual
Reports Submitted

The Balm Wagon company sent
petition to the city council Monday
evening asking that the city vacate for
the uses of the company Church street
from Market street to the river and the
south twenty. FIVE feet of Pearl street
from Main street to Chicago street.
The petition showed that the company
was the sole owner of land AUDITING
the two streets, and it further showed
that unless the council would allow the
vacation of the street 1t would be
necessary for the company to seek a
new location for the plant. The COM
pany is planning to enlarge the build
ings and as there is no land that can
be purchased in the neig hborhood a
plan has been made to enlarge the
buildings by allowing them to encroach
on the two streets in question. The
company gives assurance however
that neither of the streets will be closed
to the use Of the people. The matter
is one of the most important that has
come before the council in many
months and the members of the coun-
eli appreciate this point and while the
policy has always been against the
vacation of streets it is possible that
the request of the big company will be
granted. Should the company be
forced to move TO another location in
some other part of the city it would be
a great hardship for the men employed
there as nearly all of them are house
holders and they have built their
homes with the idea of being near the
plant. The matter was referred to the
committee on streets, alleys and
bridges and report on it will be made
at the next meeting of the council.
Levy Is Eleven Mills.
The annual tax levy was placed at
eleven mills and this levy was ordered
by vote Of fifteen to one. Alderman
Kaufman voted against the levy but
gave no reason for his action The
levy will allow the building of the new
Middle street bridge and will allow the
council to pay at least some of the old
bills. The report of the finance COM
nittee on which the levy was made

To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Councils

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of in
fiuenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any ten
dency OF these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands OF cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
IN breathing and pains in the chest, then
1t is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by o. R. Long.

The corn crop in the United States
last year was the largest ever known, yet
the price remains high. An exchange
says luhl lHt ut-
mand for corn has greatly increased
both in Europe and America. In this
country the great multiplication and
popularity of breakfast foods has in
creased the demand for corn, and in Eu-
rope they have but learned to use it as
food at all. With this growing demand
it is argued that the price will never
again drop to what it was and the chances
are that it will continue to go higher.
We always like to see farmer or
horseman drive up to hitching post
these winter days, jump out Of the rig
unfold big warm blanket and carefully
cover his faithful horse. There is big
heart in that man, says an exchange.
He is thinking of something else besides
himself, and he takes as much pleasure
in caring for his horses comfort as for
himself. On the other hand, it makes
us sad to see a great big man, warmly
clad from head TO foot, drive steaming
horse up to the rack, hastily tie him fast,
leave him shivering, and make for the
nearest hot stove. There is something
wrong about this fellow. He may be a
nice man, belong to church, may not
swear, smoke nor have any bad habits,
but he has no feeling for dumb animal.
