amined, Baltrusch said that minute
or so elapsed from the time that DR..
Koch passed the Office until the foot

part of the witness was surprising, as
he had testified before that the foot
steps on the stairs were heard imme'
diately following the passage OF DR..
Koch by the window. The attorneys
for the defense maintained that the
witness had never been asked as TO
the length of time before. Other wit

John Barnes of Rhinelander was
unanimously elected chairman of the
new state railroad rate commission.
secretary, stenOgrapher, and two
clerks, the working force of the com.
mission, were not chosen. The first
step toward organization was taken
oy the commission at its first meet
ng, which was held in the assembly
judiciary committee room on the Sec
0nd floor of the capitol at Madison.
The commission probably will be CIV
en- the offices now occupied by the
state bureau of labor and industrial
statistics and new quarters will be
liked up for the latter.
After the commission met the ques-
ion of electing chairman was taken
up. B. H. Meyer and Halford Erick-
son urged their colleague, Mr.. Barnes,
10 accept the craftsmanship, saying
that because of his experiences and
raining as a lawyer he was doubtless
he best fitted for the position. Mr..
Barnes finally consented and he was
!hereupon formally elected. After
considerable discussion it was decided
aot to fill the subordinate places until
later. There are a large number OF
applicants for all these positions and
the commission spent much time in
looking over their letters. The posi-
ton of secretary pays a salary OF
$4,000. that of stenographer $1,000,
and those of clerks $1,000 each.

Race Suicide in la Crosse.

That the apparent decrease in the
population of La Crosse, in the face
Of the greatest era of prosperity the
city has ever known, is due to race
suicide, is the defense of the enumer-
ators, who are finding themselves Sc
verely criticised for not securing more
names. Ten years ago, the enumerat-
ors say, the bulk of the population of
La Crosse was composed of German
and Norwegian immigrants and their
families. Most of these families aver
aged six to eight children and many
of them more. In their place have
come young couples, but with perhaps
one child, but more often none. The
contention is strengthened by the fact
that in nearly every ward more fam
lilies are being reported this year, but
the families are smaller.

rs ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORATlvES
IN FAvoRlTE PRESCRIPTION.
DR.. Pierce Announces the Ingredients
of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word in the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come un-
| der that head. the fact remains that
some of these medicines are SO firmly
established in popular favor and con-
| fidence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith In them.
One of the best known Of these rem
edies is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, a medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as STAN
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be
certain cure in nine cases out OF ten
and a sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made OF roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
| (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
Of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect cure In
practically ali cases when given fair
| trial. Hereafter every bottle OF the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
| Thus Dr. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in tho
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as sovereign cure for
f: those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepare
ton of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
| glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extr acting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious eff
feet whatever.
Your druggist sells the Favorite
Prescription and also that famous
alternative and blood purifier, the Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Write to DR..
Pierce about your case. He is we'll
qualified physician and will treat your
case as confidential and without
charge for correspondence. Address
him at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N Y, Of which he Is
Chief Consulting Surgeon.

INSECTS PESTS OF MILLERs.
Over Forty Varieties of Moths and
Beetles Bother Them.

bGGIIGS BOCnST nGIIIs
"Millers have a good deal to con-
tend with in modern times" said A.
H. Hull of Kansas City. more than
forty species of destructive moths and
beetles infest granaries, some or
which were only recently imported
and some have been known as an enc
my to stored grain ever since very
ancient times. 1t takes keen eye
to detect in apparently sound wheat
the presence of a 'granary weevil,'
but if the grains have been stung by
it incalculable injury may be done in
a short time. Another destructive In
sect that infests mills is the flour
moth. known as the scourge of the
flour mill. These insects excel in web
spinning and sometimes mix up so
much with the grain that the machin-
cry is clogged and mills are stopped
for long periods. The Indian meal
moth excels in devouring the germs
of wheat, injuring it for seed. fiat
little beetle called the flour weevll,
often makes it's appearance in Hour
after it has been barreled or bagged.
They are the worst pests in the mill
ing world that can think of now, and
| sometimes wonder that the American
public is blessed with such excellent
flour in the face Of all this insect op-
position ."-Milwaukee Free Press.

TRAMP IS HERO OF THE HOUR
SAVES FOUR LIVES BY GOING TO
4 RESCUE THROUGH FIRE
AND SMOKE.

Wabasha, Mimi, July 20.-With the
charred bones of six persons recOv-
cred from the ruins of the Hoffman
house, hotel situated at the st. Paul
railroad station, and with seventh
victim at the point of death in the
hospital, the village of Wabasha has
written in it's annals the most tragic
and awful occurrence in its history.
On this page of sorrow stands forth
dramatic incident in which tramp,
put off train at late hour Monday
night, crawled up stairway, amid
suffocating smoke and flame, and
breaking into four rooms, and rescued
four personse that had been rendered
unconscious by the smoke.
The dead: Mrs. Fred T. Hoffman
and infant son; James Hunt, bus drlV-
err: Gertrude Stamschoir, dining room
sgirI: Rebecca Hammond, domestic;
Robert Johnson, express messenger
on the Faribault division of the ST.
Paul road.
Engineer Cook is probably fatally
injured.
Tramp Is Hero of Hour.
The tramp who proved hero gave
his name as McDevitt. On hands and
knees he crept up the stairway of~the
hotel to the second floor, through
smoke that threatened to suffocate
him, and past tongues Of flame that
darted so close that they scorched his
flesh. Making his way into room,
he crawled to the window, kicked out
the panes with his foot, and as the
smoke cleared away was able to dis
Germ a body lying on the bed. He
picked up the PROSTATE form, stag
gered with it to the window, and hold
ing the body by the hands, suspended
it until the crowd below was prepared
to catch it. To three other rooms the
rescuer made his way, repeating his
method of life-saving, and then came
forth from the burning building al
most at the point of collapsing.
Lamp Explosion Starts Flames.
The hotel and eating house was a
three-story building. Shortly before 2
o'clock yesterday morning Fred L.
Hoffman, the hotel proprietor, lay
down in the little parlOr off the din
ing room on the first floor, leaving a
lighted lamp in the kitchen. The
night man was in the lunch room at
tending to his duties there when the
lamp exploded. The clerk did what
he could to subdue the flames, and
Hoffman. hearing the noise, came to
the rescue. The fire spread to the
gasoline tank on the kitchen range,
and, scattered by the explosion that
followed, began to shoot up the rear
stairway. The hall and corridors were
filled with smoke and gas that
To InhaIe Meant Death.
Nine guests were on the second
floor and on the THIRD floor were To-
Gated the apartments of the family
and employees. The only means of
escape for those on the second floor
was through the windows to the porch
roof, where the persons who fed that
way were assisted to the street.
No assistance was received from
the fire department until too late to
be of any service The depot hotel was
about. a mile away from the city and
the fire cut off the telephone cOnnec-
ton before an alarm could be sent in.
