Dietz to Saw His Logs.

1t is reported that John Dietz, who
won fame in his fight against the logging
companies at Cameron Dam for the pos
session of over 2O,OOO,OOO feet of tim
Der, will put in sawmill and cut up
enough of the pine to cover his claims
against the companies. w. w. Dietz, a
brother to John, said that he believes
the fight is over, as the companies have
already spent 100000 in a vain effort to
recover less than $25O,000 worth of tim
Der. He said further that nothing but
a criminal warrant could GUST his brother
and that the companies had already fail
ed to secure. one

She L. Rare.

There is no such person as a middle
aged woman now. Man may pass
through his seven ages, but when ii
comes to women-well, they are either
young or very old. Not long ago a
woman Of 45 was thought we'll along
in years. If she had a grown-up son
or daughter, she "slicked down. her
hair, selected somber attire, and lost
interest in her figure Now all that
is changed. Even the grandmothers
of to-day dress in girlish frocks and
affect headgear that properly belongs
to the debutante class. Any day down
town one can see plenty of women
with grayish locks tricked out as
though they were one-and-twenty.

Death by Accident.

The drowning of Mrs. Emeline Jones,
wife of Long" Jones, which occurred
in Waukesha, is believed to have been
accidental. Elmer Russell, 10-year-
old lad, who was fishing on the opposite
side of the river, told Coroner Hill that
he saw Mrs. Jones come to the edge Of
the river and stoop over to wash her
hands. She evidently lost her balance
and fell into the stream, as he saw her
fall into the water and heard her scream
twice. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Jones
had been working at the flower beds in
the river to wash her hands. The Incl
dent did not impress the lad at the time
and it was two days later that he re-
ported It

To Drain Big Marsh.

Judge Dick has handed down his de-
cision in the Horizon marsh drainage
case. 1t is in favor of draining the
marsh, for the reason that draining
would be for the health and welfare of
the public. If the decision stands it will
mean also the taking down of the dam
at Hustisford, and much valuable land
along Rock river could be claimed by
owners of farms. The case will go to
higher courts before it ends. Judge Dick
will appoint commissioners required by
law, whose duty it will be to appraise
the lands through which the drainage is
made in order to drain the marsh.

Refuse to Strike; Four Shot.

Three Italians were seriously shot and
one was terribly beaten in a riot among
$50 railroad laborers at Lynxville. A
gang of fifty or more men of Ferryville
were driven out of the town by laborers
armed with shotguns, revOlvers and axes
The trouble arose over an effort of
straw bosses to induce the laborers to
strike for high wages. The men refused
to do this, and when one picked up a
shovel to work he was beaten on the
head with the butt of a revolver, this
starting the riot.

Maud's Dernier Resort.


Maud Muller rose when the day went
broke
And put the front of her face in soak.
She rubbed and scrubbed till her fea-
lures glowed
Like the hide of the broncho she oft
bestrode
She'd read of her namesake of olden
fame,
Who worked a judge in hayseed game:
And determined to make similar play
In the Squaw, creek field of alfalfa hay.
To such low scheming the gyurl was led
By the romance monkeying in her head.
The age of this maiden was only guess
ed
Twas a secret locked in her own fat
breast.
She'd voted for six or seven years
And a challenge had never shocked her
ears.
She'd asked for a husband in earnest
prayer,
But the Master didn't have one to spare
She'd tried want ad., but the replies
All came from joking, insulting guys.
And now she would try the Muller fake
By scratching hay with a garden rake.
The Judge of the county court rode by,
And how she did make the alfalfa fly!
He turtled under the barbwire fence
And toward the hay -tosser hied him
hence.
The heart that worked in the maiden's
breast
Jumped into a state Of wild unrest!
A thrill ran through her from head to
A sort Of a fever 'n'ager feel.
"Hello!v cried the judge. Then his
searching eye
Saw her face and he rudely reversed the
cry.
And the look on his face as he strobe
away
Would turn fresh milk into sourish
whey.
And Maudie muttered: swell, honest,
that's
The limit! Say, wouldn't it warp your
slats?'

5 HYGIENE OF THE NURSERY.
Importance of Ventilation and Good
Milk.

ALL ROA eoASS "a OOOU
| Milk.
| Hygiene" said the late DR.. Parkes
las able an exponent Of the subject
as ever lived-"is the art Of preserv-
Ing the health, OF making growth more
perfect, life more vigorous, decay less
rapid, death more remote" Can any
study be more important for mothers
than this? On their knowledge OF It
the future vigor Of their, children to
great degree depends.
Imperfect growth, physical weak
| ness, early decay and premature death
are too often the result Of disregard
of the laws of hygiene on the part Of
the parents, says the ST. James Ga
zette.
The subject is large; the space at my
command for dealing with it small.
Let me put the principal and most
necessary points before you as tersely
as can.
The chief requirements for the rear
ing of healthy children are: First, pure
air; second, pure milk; third, plenty of
sleep; fourth, wooden clothing; fifth,
cleanliness.
Do not ask which are the most I'm
portant. They are all equally so.
Children are quickly and disastrous
ly affected by breathing impure air.
In the hygiene of the nursery free and
thorough ventilation is a first requi-
site. The youngest baby is poison
maker; he expires carbonic acid gas
and he consumes the oxygen Of the
air as an adult does, but more quickly,
for the flame of life in an infant is
burning at a quicker rate than in a
grown person. The pulsebeats of
baby during the first couple Of months
are 1870 to 100 minute and up to the
18th year they are quicker than after
that age Children, therefore, require
a plentiful supply of oxygen and even
more urgently than grown people.
The nursery must possess an open
fireplace and windows that open top
and bottom; otherwise it cannot posi-
bly, be ventilated properly.
For a nurse and one child the room
should be not less than fifteen feet
square and twelve feet in height.

SINCE OUR NEW MOTHER CAME.

The house bright with windows opened wide
And In the sunbeam where shadows hide
We sing and shout the Mvelong day.
There's cry "Shame"
Or Children should be seen, heard"
Since mother came
Its NICE when start school, gooby
And meal times child would feel ashamed
And fathers eyes happy now;
He laughs and talks the same
AS other peoples fathers To-
Since mother
But best Of ALL when is dark and has gone away
She kneel beside while
She tucks us in and calls each little loving
And bedtmes lonely now,
Since

Kills Self on wife's Grave.

Herman G. Hurand of La Crosse,
aged 50 years, whose wife and five chill
dren died suddenly a short time ago, shot
himself and was found dying on the

the loss of his family was the cause of

OLD AGE,
Not Time of Life, or Length of Years
But Condition of Bodily
Tissues,

said celebrated London physician. and
Just SO long as the bodily tissues can be-
kept from wasting and built up, Just so
leng can old age be kept at bay, and
people will he alert, alive, active and
young.
member of the finn of q. NJ. Crosby
q Co., our we'll known druggists, says
Our cod liver oil preparation, Vinol
is the greatest tissue builder and in
vigorator in the world for old people.
There is nothing else known to medi-
cine that can equal it, because Vinol
contains IN concentrated form all the
Bodybuilding, life-giving principles OF
cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, and is not stimuIant
which produces bad after effects. We
have letter upon letter from grateful
old people whom Vinol has strengthened
and blessed with robust health Vinol
invigorates the stomach first of all en-
abllng it to separate from the food the
elements reeded for rich, red blood
healthy body material and sound ste ad y
nerves. In this way it repairs worn
tissues, checks the natural decline and
replaces weakness with strength.
Mr.. A. j, Barker of Evansville, Ind.
says there is no other medicine in the
world equal to Vinol for old people.
He would not take a thousand dollars
for the good il has done him.
The grand-niece of Alexander Hamil-
ton, Mrs. Sarah j. Windrom. says
"ViLol is a God-send to old people. /"
She is saventy-six years old, and is
active and we'll, thanSs to the vitalizing
effects Of Ninol.
We wish every man or woman in
Marie ttu who feels DID," whether they
are SO in years or not, would try Vinol
on our guarantee to return their money
if they are not satisfied after using it
