FURNITURE ORDERED.
H. 5. Rhodes Gets Contract for Fur
nishing Courthouse.

The courthouse building commit
tee met Tuesday evening TO con-
slider bids for the furnishing and
lighting of the new courthouse.
Owing to the condition of the roads
after the storm, Messrs. Fessel and
Patterson were unable to attend,
and Mr.. Klinkhammer was also de-
tanned at home on account of sick
ness.
j. NJ Gardner, chairman Of the
committee, presided over the meet
ing and w. J. Brennan acted as
secretary. The bids of Geo. P.
Goble, H. S. Rhodes, and a number
of city dealers we're considered, Mr..
Rhodes securing the work at the
sum 20, 650.50. Mr.. Rhodes is to be
congratulated on securing this work,
as it means much TO his business In
the way of prestige. He is a local
dealer, and will be on hand at all
times to back up the material which
he furnishes. His order is made up
of some Of the finest office furniture
which can be built.
The office desks to be furnished
the respective recording officials and
clerks are all of splendid finish, pol
ished quartersawed oak, and of the
pattern OF the desk owned by At
torney Brennan which has been SO
much admired. The two chairs
provided for the county and circuit
Judges are the most comfortable
chairs one could imagine, and are
marvels in upholstering and carved
woodwork. The office chairs are of
the latest patterns, and are built for
comfort, strength, beauty and dur
ability, the highest type of each.
The members OF the committee
were greatly surprised to find that
such excellent furniture could be OBJ
tanned at SO low price, and the
members of the board of supervls-
ors who feared that the furniture
would not be in keeping with the
building can rest assured on that
point. The special work, compris
ing the circuit judges bench, the
blank cabinets and the counters and
rails in the different Offices will
to be built to order, and will be
ready IN about month. Mr..
Rhodes includes in the contract the
furnishing and hanging of the win
dow shades throughout the build
ing.
This piece of work should not es-
cape the notice of the local trade.
Ii we have a dealer in this city who
can furnish material Of this nature
lower than city firms, and whose
guarantee on chair, couch or desk
is far better than that of city
firm, why should you go to mail
order houses and out of town deal
ers for your goods? He has an
dupl0 dSSOIOulOul W CuOUSc 11OIl,
and can order you anything out
side of his samples at lower price
than you can get it from the cata-
logue houses. Attorney 81. W..
Brown and Mr.. c.. p. Hmm, of
Fennimore, were SO pleased with
the desks ordered for the court
house that each Immediately gave
Mr.. Rhodes an order for one of the
same style for his own Office.
The COMMITTEE awarded the con-
tract for furnishing the electric
light fixtures of the building to the
David J. Braun Manufacturing
Company, of Chicago. This COM
pletes the work of fittlng the court
house. MIR. BROKER will be ready to
turn the building over in the next
ten days, which will be welcome
news to the county officials.

I'm the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
1T seemed to come from coffee drink

"In the following July, however, she

vomiting, was away from home

on my return | found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and 1t took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her

II had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved 1t, each time, by resort to
medicine.
"But my wifes second attack salts
fied me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The o!d symp-

CHEESE AND GREEN FEED.
The Flavor of the Former Mark edly
Influenced by the Character
of the Latter.

Rape, If fed in limited quantities to
milking cows, is likely to impart to the
milk a taint which will ne impaired
to the cheese, and cannot be eliminat.
ed by any art known TO the cheese
maker at the present time, say the
dairyrien of the Wisconsin station.
The longer the period of feeding is
extended, the better the quality of the
cheese produced with reference to fla.
vor, indicating that the systems Of the
COWS producing the milk tended to
conform to the peculiarities of the
feed and thus eliminate at least a
portion of the obnoxious llavors.
The flavor Of the product from
mornings milk, when the feeding was
done Immediately after milking, was
of decidedly improved quality over
that from the evenings milk, where
the feeding was done shortly before
milking.
The body, texture, color and general
makeup of the cheese is not affected
in any manner by the feeding of rape
to milk cows for cheese-making.
When cabbage was fed to milk
cows, disagreeable flavors were al
ways impaired to the cheese, and
these bad f1avors were intensified as
the ripening advanced.
Milk from cows fed exclusively upon
green clover produced cheese having
a low, fiat flavor which finally became
sharp and :epugnant.
Green forage corn, when fed to cows,
produced an excellent quality of milk
for cheese. The cheese were of fine
texture. with clean, high flavor at all
stages Of the ripening.

Bylaw" owes the first part of itself
to the word bye" the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin "amator," .
lover, means lover of any particular
art, but not professional follower of it.
The American word ''boss," for mas
ter is the modern form of the Dutch
"baas," of the same meaning, 1t is de-
scended from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion" In England and
the colonies means a million millions.
In France and on the continent, as well
as in the United States, it means thou.
sand millions.
The name "calomel' means beautiful
black" and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is a white powder, the name is merely
jocular misnomer now.
The word Boer," applied to the Dutch
inhabitants of the country districts of
the Cape Of Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agricplturist, The Eng
lish word "boor" had the same origin.
The word beverage has had many
changes in orthography. 1t is found
spelled "biberedge," beverage" and
"beveridge." II comes from the Italian
"bevere," to drink, but more remotely
from the Latin.

for this malady. Some patients try
philanthropy instead and with indiffer-

There is not the least use buying
highpriced dairy cows If you do not
keep them up to the standard they
were at when you bought them.
BY far the greatest Improvement of
dairy business is to be in the produc-
ton of milk, rather than in the manu-.
featuring. The cost of manufacturing
may be reduced slightly, but the aver.
age cost of production can easily be
reduced one-half.

GROWING ONES OWN COWS
Develop the Young Animals Into
Strong, Healthy Individuals
by Careful Feeding.

Every dairyman must aim to grow
young animals into strong, healthy in
dividuals, which will improve his
herd, says George c. Humphrey, of
the University of Wisconsin He must
feed enough of the right kind of feed
to stimulate and encourage every ami
NAL in his herd to do her best. When
her capacity has been thoroughly
tested and she fails, she must be dis
carded and replaced by one more
promising, In the third place, the
dairyman must avoid feeding beyond
the limit of the cows capacity for
converting feed into milk. We often
find cows consuming much more than
they are paying for at the pail, and
the men who are not watching this
closely are not working toward i'm
provement in their feeding operations.
It will pay every good dairyman to
raise the heifer calves from the best
dairy cows of his herd, and by so doing
his chances are much better for i'm
proving his herd than they are where
he depends upon buying new cows to
replace his old ones. II is almost i'm
possible to go out and buy the best
cows, Men will sell you the poorest
and reserve the best, as general rule.
This rule has few exceptions, especi-
ally where the Dractical dairyman is
doing business and paying from $40
to $50 per head for his cows. Few
dairymen can. afford to so out and
buy cows to replace old ones in the
herd when they have any chance
whatever TO save and raise the
calves from their best cows, and by
good bulls which should be used in
every instance. 1t will pay the dairy.
man to grow his cows, providing they
are grown in the right manner.

Many Years.
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anRmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper.
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
OF the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew tho
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
