SWALLOWED CARBOLIC ACID.

On Friday last, Neal, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Taylor Alexander, residing at
$50 Warren street, had a very narrow
escape from death and is rot yet free
from danger. That afternoon the. little
fellow was playing in the yard of A. v.
tTearhart, nearby, when he found a
four-ounce bottle over half full of car
bolic acid which Mr. Gearhart had pur-
chased some time before as a remedy
for some disease with which his chick
ems were afflicted. 1t appears that the
day before, Neal and his companions
had been playing in the same yard with
a bottle of tea. When he found the
acid he thought it was the tea and ran
into the house to show the bottle to his
mother. His mother and Mrs. Gear
hart, as soon as they saw the label, of
course knew that the bottle contained
deadly poison, but before they could
take 1t away from him the little fellow
had swallowed enough of the drug to
Kill several people, and was on the
point of drinking more when the bottle
was dashed from his hands
Mrs. Gearhart Immediately sum-
moned their family physician by tele-
phone. The latter was at the house but
a few minutes later and to the fact that
assistance was at hand so soon, Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander owe the life of their
son. He was fast sinking into that I'M
conscious state which follows carbolic
acid poisoning and for twenty-four
hours was in state dangerous to life.
he at present writing gives evidence of
recovery and unless ulcers form it is
thought he will survive. The boy is
less than two years of age and, of
course, at that age does not possess the
vitality to withstand sickness Had he
drank the acid when alone, or had the
physician been late in arriving at the
house, there is no question but what
death would have resulted.

IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY.

There was hearing before Messrs.
T. l.. Bump, Dist. Atty John King,
county clerk, and Robt. Juedes, county
treasurer, composing a board of arbi-
traitors, yesterday. Last year, from the
assessors valuation of the village of
Mosinee, the Joseph Dessert Lumber
company's tax, in round numbers, was
fixed at $1,000. This the company re-
fused to pay. The newly elected viii
lage council this spring voted that re-
bate be made of $500 to the Dessert
Lumber company, and, as in all matters
which affects the county at large, the
matter was left to the above named
board. The date of hearing was set for
yesterday forenoon. The company was
represented by NJ. B. Rosenberg and
w F. LaDu appeared with a petition,
signed by number of the citizens of
the village of Mosinee, requesting that
the taxes be left as fixed by the assessor.
The board decided in favor of the COM
pany.

at this school last week
The pianists last week were Retta
Vosburg, Veneta Beck and Erma Stagge.
The contest for the purchase of sweet
pea see DIS closed with the high school
but two packages ahead of the Lincoln
so Mr.. Lnnd very kindly offered to
furnish us with some shrubs as we'll as
the high school. When he came over
Friday afternoon he was so interested
that he stayed till after six and helped
in every way he could. We appreciate
his interest in us very much.
Boys can work as we'll as play One
afternoon between one and five, 80 of
the boys set fourteen cedar posts for a
fence, digging, the holes and doing all
the work and they did not lose any
school either. When the wire comes
we will stretch that, making a very re-
spectacle fence for our vines to cover
and shut off the view of our wood piles.
On the play ground we now have a
large swing, a trapeZe and smaller
swing, giant stride swing, see-saw and
baskets for basket ball and jumping
standards, and together with good
game of base ball the grounds present
q
the work in building these was done by
the boys of the upper grades.
Our school yard is very attractive
now. Not only have we planted
great variety of trees and shrubs but
we have added number of attractive
features to our play ground.
Last Thursday the children of the
| upper grades went to the woods for
vines, trees and other plants and Friday
afternoon we planted them. The little
people brought plants and seeds from
home and all had a chance to help
make the lawn more beautiful.
Friday morning Hon. Neal Brown
visited our grounds and gave us very
interesting talk on 'How to plant
trees" He invited us to see his yard.
He suggested cedar hedge and setting
out lot of evergreen trees and we are
now trying to work out his plan.

The railroad commission Is now in
a fair way to be speedily established
along the lines as demanded by Cover
nor La Toilette. Last Friday, the
senate committee which has been con-
sidering this measure, made a report
upon which the stalwart and halfbreed
members agreed. The report provides
for rate commission which is TO be
appointed by the governor. The COM
mission is TO have power to fix rates,
but the bill provides that twenty DAYS
shall elapse before the rates take effect.
The fact that the committee came to an
agreement indicates the early passage
of the bill through the senate, and the
assembly of course will endorse the
action with but little opposition.

/ the incident will doubtless strengthen
his position among the regular Demo
Gratis, though among those known as
Hearst followers the hostility toward
him will be bitterer than ever.
We believe the party as a whole APP
proves Mr.. Williams and his methods,
and disapproves the obstacles and hin
derances which the Hearst faction is
constantly putting in his way. Mr..
Hearst, IN some respects, is a great
man, but in others he falls way below
the mark. His antagonism 10 the leader
Of the minority will not advance his in
terests as Democrat. 1t is too plainly
based upon selfish and personal adj
vancement, and until he abandOns the
roads that center in self and self alone,
he need hardly expect a great political
party 10 align itself under his banner.
Another feature Of Mr.. Williams
reprimand 10 the irate FlOridian, which
is especially 10 his credit, was the adroit
way he converted Republican merri-
ment into Republican apprehension.
There were the merry Republicans
laughing fit 10 kill at the ridiculous
spectacle which Lamar had created, and
with each guffaw belittling Democracy
before the country. In the midst Of
their hilarity the Democratic leader
flung at them this startling truth:
THE people" said he, "are tired Of
you, and afraid Of Us. "
The acknowledgement Of the distrust
for Democracy drove home the accusa-
ton Of WEAKNESS for Republicanism.
The laughter ceased at once, for the
handwriting had been con jured TO the
wall, and Republicans as we'll az Demo-
Gratis read plainly that Mr.. Williams
had given terse utterance TO brutal
truth.
There is a chance for Democracy to
regain the confidence of the people.
All it has to do is to refrain from wan
dering after every will-o' -the-wisp its
enemies fash upon the horizon Of It's
policies But the task before the Re-
publicans is not so simple. The apathy

COTTON ACREAGE.
President Jordan Asks That Acreage
for 1906 Be Not Increased.

President Jordan, of the Southern
Cotton Association, issued a circular
letter regarding a reduction in cotton
acreage for 1906. The letter says, in
part:
The Southern Cotton Association will
not ask the farmers Of the South TO re-
duce the cotton acreage less than that
planted in 1905. The association does
ask, and insist with all the force at it's
command, however, that the acreage
planted in cotton throughout the belt in
1905 be not increased during the season
Of 1905 Let the Watchword of every
Southern farmer be 'diversihcation,
and through that agency produce an
abundance of food supplies TO maintain
each farm.
The present estimated n, 900, 900 acres
planted in cotton is sufficient, under
normal climatic conditions TO produce
enough cotton TO meet the demand Of
spinners for the American staple. Any
material increase in the cotton acreage
for 1906 will tend TO stagnate the cot
ton market and depress prices below
their legitimate value The legitimate
law Of supply and demand is the only
true medium Of regulating fair and le-
climate prices for our great staple
product.
