consideration, decided that he would
not enter the field as a candidate,
but gave his support to Hon. J. G..
Cannon, the present Speaker, which
resulted in a unanimous vote for
him, and the continuance of the
harmony which had existed under
(, Speaker Henderson, md also
brought about the strongest pos
sible organization of the House of
Representatives.
A thorough man of affairs, Re-
preventative Babcock has brought
to the ard1lous position of leader
in Congress the clearheaded, con-
structive, able business methods
which have crowned with success
his efforts in the business world.
His persistent industry, comprehen-
sive grasp of details and power to
marshal them for practical results
make him invaluable in those COM
mlttee conferences where, in this
age, all Congressional legislation is
planned and perfected, and all i'm
portant measures prepared. On the
other hand, the we'll ordered system
which has always characterized his
work enables him to handle with
the utmost promptness a volume of
correspondence which would appall
the average man. Finally, Repre-
sentative Babcock is, in Washing
ton as in Wisconsin, always readily
accessible at all times to his con-
stituents and those who call upon
him regarding matters pertaining
to the public business. Such callers
find him ever ready to hear them
and if possible to give any aid with
in his power.
In personal appearance as in
character Representative Babcock
has the attributes of vigor and
strength His cheeks are rosy; his
dark eyes steady and honest and his
step quick and elastic. His boy
hood on the farm followed by years
of outdoor life has given him a
constitution which renders possible
his herculean labors of the present
day. Mr.. Babcock is Iow-voiced,
but his brief conclusive sentences
are suggestive of an immense latent /
reserve power. A person meeting
him for the first time might pro-
nounce him quite and almost re-
served in manner but withal his at
titude is ever one of frankness and
cordiality mixed with a considerable
degree of that hospitality which is
the heritage of the man brought up
in the vast expanse beyond the Mis-
sissippi.
Mr.. Babcock says that of all the
books he has read he has found the
works Of Emerson most helpful in
fitting him for the work of life. |
Estimating the relative strength of |
different influences upon his success
IN life he unhesitatingly places con-
tact with men in active life as fore
most. Asked recently what he be
lieved would contribute most to tho
strengthening of sound ideals in our
American life and most help young
people to attain true success in life,
Mr.. Babcock designated honesty
and application. Representative
Babcock is a man of quiet tastes
His only diversions are hunting and
fishing and of late years he has had
little time for the former. A short
time ago he purchased a small
estate of primeval pine forest on
Trout Lake in his home State of
Wisconsin, near the Flambeau
Indian Reservation, and here, with

Views and Interviews

DR.. S. E. Hassell: But few peo-
pie realize the danger which is
menacing the'.Grant County Asy-
lum and County Home. There is
absolutely no fire protection there
at present owing to defective pumps
and engines. Should the fire of
last winter be duplicated, the worst
could only be expected. The water
supply is inadequate even for the
ordinary needs Of the institution,
as it has been necessary to shut it
off in some Of the toilet rooms on
account of the poor supply. In my
report to the county board, I have
dwelt at length upon this point,
but have by no means expressed
what ought to be said on the sub
ject. Aside from the pecuniary
loss, the county should take every
possible precaution to avoid the
awful horrors which would surely
come with disaster like the Racine
fire.
Judge Goodsell: My wife and I
went to Cobb to attend family re-
union Sunday, but owing to the
condition of the roads the Dodge
vile guests could not be present.
We struck one Of the hardest rains
the other side of Montfort that we
have had this season, heavy rain
and some snow. I saw for the first
time the new station at the inter-
section of the Highland and North
western roads, near Edmund. All
trains stop there and
I presume connections will be made.
The increased prosperity of High
land pleases me greatly, it being my
native town.
Will Morse Circus life isn't half
so bad as printed. I got treated

sisslppi Valley, and enjoyed it i'm
When I first started out,
someone got to calling me ''Haver-
ly", and the name stuck to me ever
after; SO much SO that one paper

AIDE" The roustabouts look up to
the musicians as their guardian
angels or demi gods, and in fact we
were treated better than the per-
formers. The dansels with the
pageant are as worthy set of
wenches as it hath cen been my lot
to gaze upon. hope to join the
show again next season.

Bethel Granite Again.

The prediction that the selection of
Bethel granite for Washington immense
station would mean that other public
buildings would be constructed of the
same granite seems likely to be verified
at once. A Washington paper of last
week contains the following:
"Since Bethel white granite was ac-
cepted for the material OF the new union
station there has been much discussion
as to the material which will be selected
for the new Municipal Building iii Wash
ngton. The argument extended in favor
of the Bethel stone for the union station
would seem to hold good in this case
and those in position to know express
their belief that Bethel granite will be
selected OF the original 80 900 900 APP
propriated. S550,000 has been spent for
the site. About $50, 900 will have been
spent for architects fees and all Incl
dental expenses, leaving approximately
81 ,400. 900 for the excavation and con-
struction, which will be advertised for
within few days"

License in BURLINGTON.

The license commissioners for the city
of Burlington report the sum of Sl4, $40
received from the eight licenses of the
first class, four licenses of the second
class, four licenses of the third class,
three licenses of the fourth class, and
thirteen licenses of the fifth class. Dur
ing the eight months that the law has
been in force the commissioners have
revoked two licenses and furnished evil
dence to the states attorney which
resulted in the imposing of fine of 500
against one licensee for violation of the
law The report states that there are
continual violations of the law and urges
entering of complaints against such
Violators.

Fifty years ago DR.. Humphreys placed
his Specifics on the market and they have
been sold continuously ever since. DR.
Humphreys did not offer his Specifics to
the people until they had been proven
for many years in his private practice
with uniform satisfaction and success.
When we think of the many medicines
that have been offered to the public in
the last half century, and the extensive
advertising which may have created
large sales for them, we can easily under
stand that only those having real merit
have survived the test of time.
Among these DR.. Humphreys Specifics
stand pre-eminent. They have had, and
are having, more and more followers
each year.
To celebrate this Centennial we
have printed few copies of DIR. Hum
phreys' Specific Manual on heavy paper,
in special cloth binding A single copy
will be mailed free on application.

and Burlington saw large gathering on
this occasion of the Episcopal clergy of
the state, together with many warm ad-
mirers of the bishop from outside towns.
An important feature of the celebra-

$4,000 had been raised for the endow-
ment of Rock Point school, which will be
re-opened, if the prospects continue as
favorable as they are now.
