letter from Robert Bracket. He is
in New York City, in the employ OF
perfumery manufacturing com.
| pany as a travelling salesman. He
says he visits 900 druggists each
week and makes his trips in an
automobile.
| You wonder how your neighbor
keeps her house so clean and shin
ing, and yet appears to do so little
work. Go with her to the grocer S
when she buys soap, and that will
solve the mystery. Self-Washing
Soap saves time, saves work, saves
money. At the grocers.
The six-year-old son of Joe Du-
roc was brought to the city Monday
suffering from an accident caused
by the explosion of dynamite cap
with which he was playing. His
hand was so badly hurt that DR..
Gendron was obliged to cut off
three Of the fingers. One of his
eyes was also so severely injured
that he may lose it.
For the Excursion Saturday tick
cts may be obtained as follows:

row, and Saturday morning. Tick
cts for the steamboat ride may be
had at Taggart's drug store. Fare

Why pay for wind to make soap
float? Why pay for rosin to make
bulk? Why not save the expense of
a washerwoman by getting a soap
that will do her work? Maple City
Self-Washing Soap is all soap, made
! from Packers Prime Tallow and
Cocoanut Oil, with no adulteration.
1t will save you money in the end.
Your grocer is waiting to sell it to
you.
Uncle Sam specifies Hand-Stuff-
| ed, Oak-Tanned Harness Leather
| in all his harness. If the govern
ment has decided it is better after
careful comparison and tests, don't
you think this is enough evidence
that it is what you should use re-
CARELESS of what competitors claim?
Globe Oak is used right from the
tannery in all harnesses made at
| Lund's.
| The resort season is over and the
fair season is on. The Minnesota
State fair is being held this week

A number of ratt1ers have been
| killed down near the shores of Lake
St. Croix this summer. These rep
tiles are not SO numerous as they
were and few live to attain great
size before a violent death over
| takes them. Henry Cornish says
his uncle, Thomas sCornish, killed
one in the town of Clifton about
1860 that measured liz feet in
length with a proportionate circum-
ference of body.
The remains of Thomas w. Finn
were brought to the city yesterday
forenoon, accompanied by Robert
Finn, brother. of the deceased.
Thomas, who had been engaged as
a breakman on the Milwaukee rail-
way for a year past, was killed at
Oconomowoc Monday by being
struck by an engine, we understand.
He was son of Michael Finn of
Forestville. The funeral was held
to-day, Rev. ]. M. Baur conducting
the service.
The North Wisconsin State fair
is held at Chippewa Falls Sept. Is
to 10. This will be good place to
see what the north half of the state
can do in the way of an exhibition.
Now there is boom for the devel-
opment of this part of the state
those interested in the development
of the country will have on the dis
play samples of the crops grown
this year. The entries in the ami
NAL exhibit are also intended to be
fine.
The stores are selling lots of
homegrown apples this year.
There are getting to be quite lot
of pretty fine orchards in the coun-
try as harder trees are found. The
apples brought In this year are fine,
and mostly of the larger varieties,
as the crabs are not bearing much
