HON. w. E BROWN WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE

The following statement published
by Congressman Brown in the daily
press will explain itself:
SIN my judg ment the time has ar
rived when in Justice to my friends in
the Tenth district | should state nv
position as to my candidacy. Candi-
dates for the nomination are already
in the field and longer delay might
| work an injustice to those who would
be candidates if it was known that /
am not to seek another nomination.
I'm order to be fair to those who
seriously aspire to the position which
/ now hold and who by virtue of their
service to the party are entitled to
| recognition and consideration and that
all doubt as to my position may be re-
| moved, / will say that after careful
consideration for business and per-
sonal reasons, have decided not to
enter the field for nomination and
election to the sixtieth congress.
81 have found it difficult to reach
this conclusion in view of the numer-
Gus letters expressing confidence in
my ability to secure the nomination
and the many personal assurances Of
hearty support that | have recei ged
from all parts of the district, but in
justice to my business associates and
to myself, | have decided upon this
course. When my present term ex-
pires will have served for three success
Sive terms or for six years, period of
service equaling in length that of any
of my predecessors. feel grateful to
my constituency both in the old Ninth
district and in the present Tenth for
the confidence they have always placed
in me as shown by the fact that have
been nominated three successive times
without opposition, and for the un-
animity with which I have been sup
ported at the polls.
81 have at all times endeavored to
represent the whole district and to
that end have tried in q prompt and
business like way to serve the inter-
eSts of every citizen who has called up
on me. That my impartial efforts in
their behalf have been appreciated is
evidenced by the many acknowledge
mentS of services rendered and the
urgent requests from numerous
sources throughout the district that |
again become candidate
SHOW that | have decided to retire
from congress l wish to say that my
efforts will be put forth as heretofore
in the interests of the republican party
in the district and the candidate who
secures the nomination as my success
sor will receive my unqualified sup
port"
The many friends of Congressman
Brown in Wood county are very sorry
he came to this conclusion, for they
considered him one of the most effici-
ent and painstaking members in that
body. He was always willing and
prompt in the discharge of any duty
he had to perform. The longer he
continued as a member of Congress
the more he was able 10 accomplish
for his district and therefore more
valuable to his constituency. In sew
ering his connection with Congress
he leaves an excellent record with
which he can justly be proud.

NO ONE WOULD EAT ALUM
Food That Contains Alum or an
Alum Residue is Unhealthful.

Here is some interesting evidence
upon the alum baking powder subject;
Prof, A. S. Mitchell, of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commission, in testifying
before the Congressional Committee,
which was collecting information to
aid in the matter of pure food legisla-
tion, said that there was no question
but the tendency of the chemical inn
puritleS which would remain in food
made with alum baking powders
would be deleteriouS. AS to the claim
made by the manufacturers that alum
powders left no alum in the food, he
said he had failed to find any such
powders which, in the ordinary pro-
cess of cooking, would not leave some
soluble alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer, the accomplished
professor of chemistry at the Uni
verSity of Missouri, after a series of
experiments with bread raised with
alum baking powder, reported: Care
full analysis of the bread thus pre-
pared shows portion of the alum
from the baking powders remaining in
the bread as such and unaltered.n
The fact that alum if taken with
food into the stomach would be in
furious is not questioned or disputed
by anyone. As scientific evidence
would seem to prove that when food
is raised with alum baking powder
some part of the alum remains ia the
food, the prudent course for the house
wife is apparent

TRAVEL LECTURES

The series of lectGres-or travel
talks-that will be given in the
Methodist church every evening next
week beginning Monday night, are
said to rival the famous Stoddard
lectures. From every quarter Of the
country where the Crarys have been
heard, come words of glowing praise,
not only for the entertainment they
furnish, but for the lectures as an
educational feature. The talks are
thoroughly illustrated by colored ard
moving pictures, and the entertain
ment is made more complete each
night by the illustrated song features.
The Crarys will be at the Methodist
church every evening next week.

THE ARPIN COLONY

The Jewish Conference of National
Charities which met recently at
Philadelphia, spent much time in
discussing the colinization scheme of
A. W. Rich, of Milwaukee, as mani
fest in the colony near Arpin in this
county. Jacob Billikopf, one of the
Milwaukee delegates to this conyen-
tion said in an interview with mem
Der of the state press:
agriculture among the Jews Was
given particular attention and it de-
veloped that the entire country is
watching with interest the expert
ment which Mr.. Rich is makia at
Arpin. The colony was the subject
of much discussion. The development
of agricultural pursuits among the
Jews issspreading rapidly"

located at Neenah. Wis, was a busi-
ness visitor in this city Tuesday. Mr..
Warner paid this Office a pleasant
visit while here, and stated that the
business of his company was growing
rapidly. The company is making
special effort to extend their business,
and the progress being made is very
gratifying. The excellency of the
work this concern turns out is rapidly
being called to the attention of those

states that if the present growth keeps

would not, that their present facili

portant Convention at Milwau-
kee, May 80.

The Rural Letter Carriers Associa.
tion of Wisconsin will hold it's annual
convention at Milwaukee, Thursday,
the 30th of May. Memorial Day was

or thirty miles, enjoy himself as best
suits his fancy.
There are more than 1,4OO rural let
ter carriers in Wisconsin and the
Wisconsin association is axious to have
all carriers identified with il as mem.
bers. 1t is expected that large pro-
portion of the rural liter carriers OF
the state will attend the meeting at
Milwaukee and they are invited to dc
so whether members of the association
or not.
The members of the Milwaukee
County Association are making active
preparations for the meeting and are
looking for large delegation from all
parts of the state. The meetings will

NEW PROJECT
Electric Ry., Appleton, New Lon-
don. Waupaca, Grand Rapids.

This week there has been some news
paper talk of an Interurban Electric
Line from Appleton to Waupaca to
take in New London, Waupaca. etc.,
with Indiana and Eastern capitalists
to back it.
The following from Thursdays
Sentinel has significant local interest,":
Irving P. Lord, of Waupaca, princi-
pal owner and general manager of the
Waupaca Electric Light and Railway
company, is at the Hotel Pfster. He
confirms the report printed in The
Sentinel few days ago that plans are
being perfected 10 build an interurban
electric railway from Appleton to
Waupaca via Hortonville and New
London,
Capitalists from indianapolis are
behind the project. The intention is
not to stop at Waupaca, but extend
through to Grand Rapids. The terri
tory through which the line would
run is exceedingly rich and much in
need of additional railroad facilities.
|-Waupaca Post.
The above item will be of interest
to the people of this city as it would
indicate progress iD an undertaking
that has been talked of for a long
time. This electric line will possibly
come in little different manner, and
possible over an entirely different
route than those heretofore talked of,
but the benefits of an electric line
entering this city are apparent to all
thinking people. 1t is to be hoped
that the design of the people who are
promoting this enterprise will be
realized.
