9 THE
Uses For Kerosene.

Few housekeepers realize the cleans
ing properties of kerosene. A few
drops added to the water in cleaning
mirrors and windows will give them q
ane luster. Applied clear with a soft
rag it will remove rust from nickel and
ron. dirt from painted surfaces and
stains from porcelain lined sinks and
sathtubs. 1t is sure death to bedbugs
and other insects and added to the wa
ter In which clothes are boiled in pro-
portion Of a tablespoonful to a bucket
If water will make the clothes beauti-
FULLY white and greatly lessen the la
pors Of wash day" 1t is fine for
cleaning the sewing machine, remov-
ing all that gummy, sticky substance
which is such an annoyance, though
the machine must be thoroughly oiled
after using it, as kerosene Is not a
lubricant. A little kerosene-say a Ia
~blespoonful to q gallon Of strong soap
suds-sprinkled on the rosebushes In
the garden once a week will keep them
tree from insects.

p U HOUSE
Visitors from Darlington, WIS.,,
like plan

A! party Of visitors from Lafayette
county Wisconsin, we're in the city
Wednesday inspecting the court
house. Lafayette county will erect a
new building as the county has receiy-
ed s127 600 in the form of a bequest
from Mathew Murphy a we'll to do
citizen of that county who died re-
Gently.
Lafayette county has a good court
house but will now erect one Of the
finest to be found in the state.
The Mr.. Murphy, who so generously
remembered his home county, made
his will five years previous to his
death but no one at all, except his at
torney, had the remotest idea that he
had bequeathed even a dollar to the
county.
The gentlemen who made up the
party were SO pleased with the Brown
county court house that they we're un-
animously Of the opinion that it would
be a waste of time to inspect any
other buildings.
Those who in the party were George
F. West of Darlington, j. w. Beckwith
of Whiteoak, H. w. cambridge OF
Benton, M. J. Cleary of Blanchard.
vile, M. o. O'Brien of Shullsberg, P
B. Nelson of Darlington and Z. G
Mackay of Darlington. Mr.. Mackay
is a prominent banker and the execu
tor of the will of the late Mr.. Murphy
Mr.. West is a gentleman we'll known
in Wisconsin. He belongs to the
stalwart faction of the republican
party and was candidate for secretary
on the stalwart ticket at the election
last fall. Mr.. West was a pleasan,
caller at the Office of this paper and il
conversation with the editor hereo
expressed himself very forcibly on tn,
primary election law. Naturally, b.
is opposed to it and while disagreein,
with the gentleman in regard to many
of the features of the law, as we'll as
on La Toilette, this paper take
pleasure in saying that Mr.. West
seems to be perfectly sincere in hi
opinions and entitled to the respect o
those who disagree with him.
