Loose saeques that can be slipped

demand for the wee folk, who must be

mirably. The sacque is: made Of white
cashmere with trimming Of lace in
sertiOn and frills and the kimono of
pale blue flannel embroidered with
French knots, but both are suited to a
variety of materials.
The sacque is made with fronts and

Declares that the Disease Is Not Con-
tagious, and Shows Patient Who
Is Being Cured.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Announceme
was made tonight for the first time in
the history Of the medical profession
of q cure for leprosy, q disease which
has from time immemorial been con-
sidered incurable. This announce
ment was made by DR.. James Nevins
Hyde, professor of dermatology in
Rush college, in a lecture at the Uni
versity OF Chicago. Dr.. Hyde de-
clared also that leprosy was not, as
has long been popularity supposed, a
contagious disease. He exhibited to
the audience a leper, a New Zealand
Maori whom he. says he has prae-
tically-, cured of the dread disease.
DIR. Hyde brought the Maori from
New Zealand more than a year ago.
At that time he was afflicted with
! tubercular leprosy in an advanced

1900 gross tons with all conditions
favorable, and will doubtless make
that mark this season. There are
few ships afioat anywhere that carry
heavier loads than this.
The career of this ship will be
watched with great interest, not alone
for her unrivaled size, but on account
Of the revolutionary methods of con-
struction employed, the freedom from
Snanual labor planned for cargo de-
livery and the net returns expected
from the immense investment in con-
struction. Nothing could more close
ly typify the growth of marine traffic
in the northwest than this ship.

Duluth, Mimi, June 15.-All rec
ords for vessel cargoes on the Great
Lakes have been broken by the ar
rival of the steamship Augustus B.
Wolvin, with 10000 net tons of coal,
and by her scheduled loading this
week Of 10000 gross tons Of iron ore
at the docks Of the Duluth & Iron
Range railway.
The greatest coal cargo ever car
ried into Lake Superior was on the
steamship I. l.. Elwood of the United
States Steel corporation, Buffalo to
Duluth, 1858 net tons, and the lar
gest cargo Of iron ore was that of
the William Edenborn of the same
company, Escanaba to South Chicago,
8,807 gross tons. In this cargo the
ship was favored by draft of 20
feet all the way, while the Wolvin is
restricted to about 1875 by the chan
nels out of Lake Superior and by the
fact that this is her first trip.

CHARLES E. DUNEVAN

Charles e. Dunevan died at his
home in Plover Thursday July IA. He
had been in poor health for many
years.
Mr.. Dunevan was born in Washing
ton, Mass, June 16, 1848, in which
state his boyhood was spent. He
learned the cabinet-maker's trade
and later became millright. In
1868 he settled in WauSau but few
months later came to this city, where
he was employed in saw mill. After
living here about four years he moved
to Plover. There for a time he
worked at the carpenters trade but
in 1887 opened furniture store on
his own account. In 1885 he was
married TO Miss Amelia Waters,
daughter of James Waters, of Plover.
He was for nine years clerk of his
town and for twenty years, although
Democrat in politics, has held the
office OF postmaster in that village. -

deceased are his wife and daughter,

WISCONSIN'S
UNIQUE EXHIBIT
A Miniature Cranberry Bog Will
Make a Fine Advertisement.

w. Fl. Fitch, Cranmoor, Wis,
editor Of The Cranberry Grower,
president of the Cranmoor Cranberry
Company and secretary of the Wlscon-
sin Cranberry Growers association,
was in Chicago Tuesday on his way to
the Worlds Fair at st. Louis and
made a pleasant call at The Packer
Office. Mr.. Fitch goes to the Worlds
Fair to supervise the establishing of
a miniature cranberry bog. The state
of Wisconsin appropriated $3.50, 900 for
the fair, $1,000 Of which Was assigned
to horticultural interests.
This cranberry bog will be one of the
most unique features of the Fair. It
will be virtually a Wisconsin cran-
berry bog on u small scale transferred
to the exposition. The sod or peat,
from the Wisconsin bogs to the
depth of 8 or 10 inches, containing
the roots of the cranberry vine, will
be cut and transported to st. Louis
intact. II necessary, these will be
renewed from time to time. This
will show cranberries, both cultivated
and wild, in all stages of development
Berries will grow, blossom and ma
ture just the same as though they
were still resting in their native peat
beds in Wisconsin. 1t will be an
interesting exhibit as few people have
a correct conception of how cranberries
are grown. Some think they grow on
bushes.
The work Of establishing this bog
will consume nearly two weeks time.
1t is largely missionary work on the
part OF Mr.. Fitch In the interests of
the cranberry sections Of Wisconsin.
The forest fires of '93,. '94 and '95 des-
troyed 80 per cent. of the cranberries
growing in the Wisconsin marshes.
There has been patient development
of the cranberry since that time and
the bogs are just about back to where
they were before the fire in the mean
time trade has largely drifted away.
Last year the Wisconsin people had
just about gotten it back. The best
market for Wisconsin is in the south
and southwest and this exhibit is
expected to get back all of that trade.
The several cranberry sections OF
the country have had three or four
frosts this season, but with normal
conditions for the balance of the
season Mr.. Fitch looks for a normal
crop.
Mr.. Fitch is one OF the far-Seeing
and energetic men OF his section and
the cranberry interests owe much to
the efforts he has put forth in their
behalf.-Packer
