Dry Weather Plants.

In damp regions the roots Of peren-
NAL plants sink deeply and sustain a
great growth above ground. In a mod
erately dry climate plants develop
bulky roots and store up supplies which
outlast the summer drought, or the
plants themselves, as in the case of the
cactuses. become fieshy reservoirs of
water and food. In the extreme desert
neither of these resources is available,
and perennial herbs are consequently
few. Only stunted shrubs and hardy
ANNALS are able to exist at all. the

vile attorney Monday, and comparing
notes saved two men from those towns
of being mulcted into $500 cash. The
attorneys contented themselves with col

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe Is
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it,.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always Iiber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time. It
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
pie. It relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough Any child will take it. It
Is invaluable in household of children.

Sock and Buskfn.

The expression "Sock and buskin, !,
which literally means comedy and
tragedy, found its origin in the ''soc-
GUS" the Latin name of the low shoe
worn by the ancient comic actors, and
the ebuskin, q contraction of the French
word "brossequin," remotely derived
from the Greek "bursa,' hide or high
soled shoe worn by the ancient TRACE.

but by an extra squirt could probably
keep pace with the assembly. AS re-
ported Thursday, the assembly bills
still in committee hands were:
Railroads, six; finance, banks and in
surance, seven; education, fifteen;
privileges and elections, five; judiciary
bills and resolutions. forty eight: dairy
and food, nine; state affairs, twelve;
cities. six; senate bills, town and coun-
ty organizations, three; public health,
two.
Rate Bill in the Senate.
Perhaps the most important an
nouncement of the last week was that
the senate committee on railroads had
practically agreed on a rate bill. Such
u measure was put through the as
sembly early in the week and without
debate by vote of Is to -, SO that
the crucial point for this legislation
has now been reached. According to
the agreement reported the last point
at issue had been settled by proposing
to suspend for a period of sixty days
any act or order instituted by the COM
mission. The carrier was to have the
option of bringing the case into the
courts during the sixty days interval
Or at the expiration of the limitation
by a writ of injunction could further
stay the rate. In the meantime the
old rate was to stand. This was said
to be a concession by the administra-
ton, which it was thought would be
agreeable to both sides. However, I'M
til the bill is reported in much uncer-
tainty must prevail.
Not content with wrestling with this
big railroad proposition. the governor
sent a long message to the Legislature
Thursday citing the large number of
railroad accidents in the state and ma
employee bill into law that greater safe
guards might be assured the public
and railroad employees. Simultane-
ously with the message, the assembly
committee on judiciary introduced
such bill, aiming to define the liabil-
ity of railroad companies in cases of
accidents. The message has created
wide comment, and it is even inter-
preted by some as the opening gun of
another campaign by the governor on
the railroad rate issue in case no legjs-
lation of that kind is effected this year.
Others regard it as manifestation of
Impotence on his part at the slow
progress of such legislation.

Theo Tellefson of Rockdale, while in
our village the other day, was showing
to some of our citizens the blue print OF
a projected electric road to be built from
Chicago to Madison, via Geneva, Elk
horn, Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, Rock
dale and Cambridge. The project seems
feasible enough on paper, as do many OF
the other projected electric lines through
out the state but our citizens give it
but little credence, there having been so
much talk of this kind which, thus far,
has been only talk.
For the past two weeks there has been
rumor current that the Cambridge
railroad was going to quit business. Pos
sibly there was some ground for this
rumor, for Mr. Robe Dow of Stoughton
had reported that unless the citizens Of
Cambridge would lease it, it would have
to stop, as he could spend no time to at
tend to it. There we're a couple of meet
ings held and with what information
they could obtain regarding the operat-
ing expenses and the receipts, finally
came to an agreement as to what they
would pay for lease of the road for a
term of years and appointed commit
tee to meet and confer with the direct
ors of the road. The meeting of the di-
rectors and citizens CO nmittee was held
last Monday evening and the conclu-
sions of that meeting were, that the
whole fasco flashed in the pan. The
operators of the road concluded they
would continue and would make some
arrangements in rates and in opera
ton, possibly disseminating one train a
day. So the matter rests, and to put a
quietus on rumors, let all be informed
that the cannon ball" will continue to
make it's daily runs from terminus to
