Good News for All,

Bradford, Tenn, Oct. 23d.-(Spe-
cial. Scientific research shows Kid
ney Trouble to be the father of so
many diseases that news of discov-
cry of a sure cure for it cannot fall
to be welcomed all over the country.
And according to Mr.. J. A. Davis of
this place just such cure is found in
Dodd.s Kidney Pills. Mr.. Davis says:
"Dodds Kidney Pills are all that is
claimed for them. They have done me
more good than anything | have ever
taken. | had Kidney Trouble very
bad and after taking few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills | am completely
cured. cannot praise them too
much"
Kidney complaint develops into
Brights Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes,
Rheumatism and other painful and
fatal diseases. The safeguard is to
cure your kidneys with Dodd's Kidney
Pills when they show the first symp-
tom Of disease.

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
Indispensable Requisite in Compound
ina of Some Prescriptions.

indispensable Requisite in Compound
ing of Some Prescriptions.
1t is of course true that some pro
prietary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain it. No honest
man will defend the sale of intoxi-
cants under the gnise of medicine; but
every honest man should protest
against a system of wholesale denun-
citation born of malice or ignorance
of pharmaceutical principles and fos
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is a great diff
ference between alcohol and whisky.
IT substitute for alcohol could be
medicines Its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession OF
pharmacy and the science of medi-
cine, for alcohol is a very expensive
ingredient and a cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun-'
ately the word alcohol in the minds Of
many people is associated eXclu-
siyely with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This is due to lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent Of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than rs per cent contain
it in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re-
quired to dissolve substances not solu-
BILE in water, while it contributes to
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts; and whenever greater
strength of alcohol is required as a
solvent (for extracting medicinal prin-
ciples( the medicine is of such char
acter as to preclude large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
if containing so per cent or more Of
alcohol ARE practically less intoXicat-
ing than beer, In such cases the
character Of the medicinal constituents
is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number Of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest absurdity.-Exc

RUSH TO NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
Prospective Settlers Are Trooping
Into That Section

Into That Section.
Wide awake, determined farmers
from old and well settled sections of
the country, both east and west, are
coming into Northern Wisconsin,
trooping on every train, to investigate
the prospects for good farms at mod
crate prices.
Old land men say they have not
seen any movement in recent years
like it. The newcomers want to see
for themselves. Most of them can
hardly believe that there is good farm
ing land left in the country at such
low prices as they see it offered.
Judging by the expressions they let
fall, most of them will come again,
and next time will bring their faml-
lies and their household goods, for
they are satisfied with what they see.
A great many deals for 80 and l6O-
acre farms are being put through this
fall. and a still larger number are
due next spring. Most OF the home
seekers prefer to remain in present
quarters till the winter is passed, and
will come out to buy and settle early
in the spring. However, there are
good many who are putting up houses
and clearing off timber this fall. They
will market hardwood logs and cord
wood during the winter, keeping busy
and bringing in some welcome cash,
and will be in fine shape to start
spring work.
There is still room in the new north
ern counties of Wisconsin for good
part of the surplus farm population
which is moving out in steady
stream from the acres of high land
values to find homes which are within
the reach of their purses, and promise
good returns for their labor. Expert
enced land men, who know the state,
say that there are still 100000 or
| 100000 acres of land of good quail
ity, including sandy loan, clay loan,
loamy clay and heavy red clay. These
lands are filling up, and while the
process will take years, the time is
not far distant when cheap land IN
Northern Wisconsin will be a thing
of the past If the movement keeps
up. at the rate of the last year, it is
likely that values will be raised in an
other year. The land is manlfestly
worth more money than it is bringing
now, and will come into its own some
day before long. 1t is coming every
day.
Northern Wisconsin is not new
country in the sense that it is untrled,
and it's possibilities not fully tested.
Settlements have lined the railroads
for a number of years, and farmers
alive to the possibilities have proved
the value of the land. The warm
sandy soils mature crops easier and
quicker than the black, heavy soils
of other sections, and the notion that
Indian corn will not mature in North
ern Wisconsin is being dispelled.
While not mainstay, many farmers
plant field corn extensively, and it is
almost sure crop, having always an
abundance of moisture. However, it
is small grain, hay and root crops that
the lands of this section prove their
superior worth.

BIG POWER DEAL CLOSED.
Eau Claire Syndicate Takes Over

Eau Claire Syndicate Takes Over
Chippewa Valley Company.
The Eau Claire syndicate has closed
the deal for the purchase from Presi-
dent Arthur E. Appleyard of the Chip
pewa Valley Electric Railway COM
pany the controlling stock of the cor
poration. The properties are said to
be worth $70O,O0O and include the
light and power plant as well as the
trolley lines of Eau Claire and Chippe-
wa Falls and interurban roads.
The directors elected as officers:
President, o. H. Ingram; vice presi-
dent, John S. Owen; treasurer, E. A.
Burlington; secretary and manager,
George B. Wheeler. Mr.. Appleyard
had borrowed $4,000 from c. H. In
gram, and put up for security for the
loan 1915 shares of the 1000 OF the
capital stock of the company. This
stock was furnished to Mr.. Appleyard
nv his relatives. Mr.. Appleyard found
that he must realize more money to
relieve himself of the obligation. A
resident of Eau Claire held an option
on the $50 shares, and it was thought
best that the whole plant be owned
by local interests instead of eastern
capitalists. Mr.. Appleyard's home Is

AGED MAN BUILDS HIS OWN TOMB
Pioneer Constructs Sunken Grave at
Fond du Lac.

Fond du Lac.
Harvey Durand, wealthy pioneer
resident of Fond du Lac, has finished
constructing his own grave as we'll as
that for his wife He is not supersti-
tious and has had no premonition that
the end is near, but he has horror Of
what he terms "sunken graves"
BY building a brick vault several
feet beneath the surface of the ground
and placing a heavy slab of stone
across the top, Mr.. Durand believes
that the graves will not sink, as the
earth can be tamped over the slab
after the caskets have been deposited
in the vault.
He also has left 500 with the GENE
terry association to see that the lot is
kept in good condition. Mr.. Durand's
brother-in-law, R. E. FELTON, and his
wife. have vaults near those of Mr..
Durand, the work having just been
completed. Mr.. Durand erected a large
granite monument bearing the names
of himself and wife in the family lot
at Rienzi cemetery some time ago.
The date of his birth, as that of Mrs.
Durand was included in the inscrip-
ton, blang space being left for the
date of their deaths.

of stealing watch.
"The man pleaded not guilty; he
even brought against the complainant
a counter charge of assault. The lat
ter, he declared, had assaulted him
with a frying pan.

CIVIL SERVICE IN LINE.
Examinations for 1880 Employees OF
the State Will Begin Dec. 1.


the State Will Begin Dec. l.
The state civil service examinations
will begin about Dec. 1. AS near as
can now be estimated $50 people will
come within the operation of this sys-
tenn. Of this number over $50 are III
some manner connected with the state
capitol. Some are game wardens and
oil inspectors; 200 others are employed
about the state university, and nearly
700 are now under the supervision OF
the state board of control. The system
of classifying the different positions is
similar in it's general respects to the
system employed by the New York
commission.
In the state board of assessment the
secretary, G. w. Francis, and Miss
Bertha Moritz are exempt, while the
other officers and assistants, five in
number. come within the limits of the
law. Attorney General Sturdevants
first assistant, Mr.. Titus, and one
stenographer are exempt, while the
other five positions in the office are
filled by the commission. In the state
board of forestry Mildred Castle is the
only one who does not escape the eX-
animation. In the dairy and food de-
partment nineteen people will be ex-
amined.

MEETING THE DEMAND.
Wisconsin Loggers Take Advantage Of
Present Hiqh prices Offered.


The logging camps in the Ashland
district are already briskly at work,
out inside of a month, when cold
weather and heavy frosts set in their
capacity will be trebled. There are at
present seven camps on the bad river
reservation. These are run the entire
year, but an increase in the crews is
made as soon as snow is on the
ground.
1t is estimated that the Foster-Latl-
mer mill at Mellen has twenty-five
year cut in sight, the Stearns Lumber
company has as least twelve years
cut. the Davis Lumber company at
Medford about twenty years cut and
the Edward Hines Lumber company
1T least dozen years cut, depending
lpon the times and the prices OF lum-
ger. AS one lumberman expresses it:
eff the present high prices continue
lot only hines, but every other mill
nan, will cut every log he can get hold
f. In a few years. think about
welve-the white pine will be gone
rom Wisconsin, SO far as big cutting is
oncerned But the smaller mills will
re running by that time, and they Will
saw twenty-five years longer. 1t is
case of Pennsylvania over again, where
used to deal in waney or square TIM
bers. Of course they get no more such
timbers in Pennsylvania, but they are
discovering that they have large guam
titles of hemlock and are logging it. 1t
will be the same way in Northern Wis
consin. where we have an ineXhaustl-
bic supply of hemlock and hardwood,
and tn etanning industry will gradually
take the place of the lumber industry

BIidht on Potatoes.

The starch factory at Grantsburg
has been running two weeks and only
10000 bushels of potatoes have been
received. The tubers are rotting badly
owing to blight that struck them the
latter part of the season. Leading
farmers claim that potatoes have been
replanted there for SO many years that
they have become diseased with a
blight germ and that the soil is full of
it. so that good crops are no longer
produced. Much seed will be imported
in that locality next spring and new
ground generally will be planted.

HIS EYESIGHT AFFECTED.

In speaking of our fair, the Merrill
News man, who visited here several
days last week, says:
"The attractions at the fair were
somewhat disappointment, there be-
ing but one and this was found lacking
The attendance at the fair on all days
was good, there being between two and
four thousand each day present"
Suffering Rachael and weeping Re-
bekah! What do you think of that I?
Between two and four thousand peo-
pie ? Why, there were that many school
children's free tickets taken up the first
day. On Thursday it is conservatively
estimated that at least $4,000 people
were on the grounds. The railroads
alone brought several thousand people
to the city. AS to the attractions,
we will confess that there was but one.
For several years we have been adver-
tising a county fair free from all circus,
freak or demoralizing attractions and
our society has built up a reputation
for clean fairs in consequence. The
attraction referred to by the News
would not have been allowed but for
the fact chat it was gotten up by home
enterprise. A circus and a county fair
are two different things, and if the
News man came to Wausau last week
expecting to see menagerie and hippo
drOme we feel sorry that he misiudped
our agricultural society's intentions.
We won't say such unpleasant things
about the Lincoln county fair, even if
we could truthfully do so. The News
in another column says that about $50
Merrill people attended our fair. Let's
reciprocate. The Lincoln county fair
is to be held this week, beginning to-
day. Let's send up a crowd that will
make the fair management and the
News editor feel grateful. We usually do.

DROWNED AT PULP MILL.

John Latzig, aged "A years, an en-
ployer at the Lindauer pulp mill, was
accidentally drowned yesterday after
noon and his body has not as yet been
recovered from its watery grave.
Latzig was engaged in wheeling sand
to the place in Golfer dam, when he
slipped and fell into the river and the
swift current carried him through the
hole in the wall, which was cut to allow
the water to run into the other portion
of the river. The fall was about eight
feet and it is thought when he struck
the bed of the river, which is rocky,
he undoubtedly was hurt, thus being
unable to help himself much. He was
last seen about three hundred feet be-
low, trying to swim, but soon disap-
peared The laborers tried to give assist
ance, but it was impossible. This is the
second drowning at the mill, the other
victim being VIM. Zimmerman. Lat
zig's parents live in the town of Pine
