Zeno Host, insurance commits
sioner of the state of Wisconsin,
states, under oath, that Walter
Houser, secretary Of state of the
state of Wisconsin, offered him on
behalf of the Equitable Insurance
company, a $4,000 contribution to
the reform campaign fund if Host
would render a certain decision in
favor of the company.-Milwaukee
Sentinel.
If the above charges prove true
Mr.. Houser ought to be prosecuted
for this offense, and of course il
the charges are true they settle his
candidacy for denomination before
thesspeople ofWisconsin. No man
guilty of such an ofense ought to
be a candidate for public office
under any circumstances, and if he
is guilty Of the charges he should
be punished for the ofense in &C
cordance with the law. We hardly
believe that Zeno Host would
make such a charge unless he was
fully prepared to prove it. 1t is
too bad that it was not brought
out at the time it occurred, for it is
high time that such serious ofenses
should be properly punished
The regard for law on the part o
men holding influential positions
is altogether too reckless.

We see by the Wausau Daily
Record in their issue Of May II,
that about twenty representative
Republicans from various parts Of
the Tenth Congressional District
visited Wausau and waited upon
Walter Alexander and urged him
to allow his name to be brought
before the primaries as a candidate
for the Republican nomination as
a member of Congress from this
district. Mr.. Alexander has not
decided that he would be a candi-
date. He has many friends in
Wood county who would be glad
to support him for the place.

We hear considerable comment
in reference to street lines, catch
basins, sidewalks and curbing, as
to whether they are properly 10
Gated and if not whose fault is it.
D. E. Cary's cement sidewalk and
curbing facing on Eighth street on
the corner of Baker and Eighth, is
said 20 be two feet in the street
and is out of line with the blocks
south of that. Measurements on
the corner of Washington avenue
and Ninth street are unequal and
the curb lines are divergent. Some
cement cross walks are too low
and have been obliged to be raised
at extra cost, and some catch
basins are too high for the water
level on the gutter side of the same
streets. If one-half of the COM
plants that we hear in reference to
these various matters are true, it is
high time that the city authorities
investigate these matters and il
found to be correct, take some
steps to have them corrected.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu.
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
ing and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
Wewill give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-

Letter to MIR. Carl Rohde,

Dear Sir: Once in a while you
painters can pick up frSt-rate
pointer" in your own trade by TAX
ing the experience of other painters
as guide.
Whitaker & Son, painters at Pond
Creek, 0. T., had house that
measured up 2,700 square feet. You
know what good job of lead and oil
would cost for it as we'll as we do; and
how many gallons it would require.
They took nine gallons of Devoe
lead-and-zinc Paint on to the job;
painted the house two coats, and had
paint enough for a shed and summer
kitchen one coat; 800 square feet more.
They brought back one gallon of paint
unused.
Can you match that with any other
paint? We have their Statment of
these facts; and we have seen the
job.

in PAPER CIRCLES

G. Francis Steele, who is known as
Crank" in paper circles and a:
George" in agricultural implement
circles. has returned to his first love
and will hereafter be identified Will
the paper and pulp industry. Some
years ago Mr.. Steele was huStllng
member of the Wisconsin contingent
and had host of friends, by whom he
was. held in high esteem, not only fol
personal and social qualities, but fOr
his fine business ability. Some years
ago he became the manager of the
manufacturing department of the In
ternational Harvester Company, OF
Chicago, and now leaves that field TO
take charge of the plants of The John
Edwards Manufacturing Company, OF
the Centralia Pulp and Paper Com
pany and of the new sulphite mill that
is to be erected at Port Edwards. His
many friends will heartily wish him a
continuation of his success in the pa
per and harvester tields.-Paper Mill,
A change of relationship of the
highest interest and Importance to
Fox river and Wisconsin river paper
making sections is just announced
1t is that George Francis Steele, for
merly of Appleton, is to be associated
in the management of the closely re-
lated group of mills on the Wisconsin
river, the NekOoSa Paper company
the John Edwards Manufacturing
company and the South Centralia PulI
and Paper company. Mr. Steele has
for many years been connected with
the International Harvester company
rising to the position Of manager OF
the credit department and finally tC
manager of manufacturing, a position
of great responsibility and requiring
the highest business capability. The
harvester business, however, seems to
have been really a second choice for
Mr.. Steele, as proved by his now re-
turning to his first love. That is to
say, Mr.. Steele was originally inter
ested in paper manufacturing, and
even during his connection with the
harvester business has retained some
papermaking interests at Grand Rap
ids. He was the son Of DR.. u. NJ.
Steele, late president OF Lawrence
University, Appleton, and after tinlsh-
ing his college course in that lnStltu-
tion he entered the employment of the
Appleton Paper and Pulp company,
one of the pioneer papermaking com
panies of the Fox river valley. After
learning the business and connecting
himself with various papermaking en-
terprises in the two valleys, he was
tempted away to the Deering Harves-
ter company, of Chicago, which after
wards became absorbed into the Inter
national Harvester company. 1t is
understood here that Mr., Steele will
have very wide powers in connection
with the management and policy OF
the three Wisconsin river concerns
mentioned, and among other things
will be in charge of the construction
of the new sulphite mill which is to be
built by them the coming summer
