BY Member of the World staff

Congressman who desire to send
their views on certain subjects ask
leave to have their speeches printed
in the congressional record without ac-
tually delivering them on the iloor OF
the chamber. This curious custom
has grown until a large percentage OF
the speeches supposed to have been
delivered are never heard of until they
appears in the official organ of con
gress. The custom in vogue operates
to the benefit of the individual mem
ber and to the house as a whole. Inc
former can obtain lrst the kind OF a
speech he wants written by some clev-
er man and the latter from being bor-
ed by a tiresome speech and inciden-
tally saves time.
After adjournment has been agreed
upon the House frequently holds night
sessions. which, except on rare oc'
casions are exceedingly dull and unin-
teresting. During these night meet
ings, the speaker "pro tenn occupies
the chair while the real speaker can
be found in one of the cloak rooms
telling stories or in his office consult
ing with the steering committee as tc
what bills shall be reported and put
in the hopper of the congressional miF
next day. No one knows better thar

the blood must pass through the kid

all parts of the body, and kidneys,
when in health, separate the impurl-
ties from the blood and carry ii ont

kidneys are healthy, about one ounce
of impurities are discharged each day
from the body through the urine.Now
think of this If the kidneys from
some unknown cause happen to fail
to discharge these impurities, where

SEISMIC DISTURBANCES SAYS HICKS
Weather Predictions for August Month
are Mixed.

Prof. Hicks places his first storm
period for August central on the Sd,
eliminating within As hours of noon
on the 4th in very marked electrical
and seismic disturbances over many
quarters of the globe. and in our own
country wave of intense warmth, at
tended by very low barometer, will
progress from west to east at the be-
ginning of the month. Regular storm
period 7th to 12th. central on the 9th
and eliminating Sth to 1ltn. Black,
clustering clouds, thunder and high
winds, with possible clOudbusts in
scattered localities. This period leads
into Mercury period and this in turn
to this autumual equinoctisl period,
hence prolonged threatening state of
the weather will be natural, with in
creased reactionary storms in the 10th,
10th and 18th. Regular period runs
from 10Th to 23d, with probability that
the heaviest and most general storms
of the month will occur from Sunday
the 10th to Wednesday, 22d, with q
maximum of earthquake tendencies
about 18th. Care should be exercised
against hail storms in the northwest
during this period, which will be fol-
lowed by unreasonable change to ,ooier,

states. Reactionary storm period CEN

way of washing cans.
Wash them at once, as soon as they
come back from the factory-do not
allow the milk or whey to dry on, as II
will then be difficult to remove it
Rince the milk can with luke warm
water-never hot at first as that will
tend to cook the milk or whey to the
tin. After rinsiDg, wash thoroughly
with hot water use salt, sal soda OF
any Of the first class, reliable washing
powders now on the market, never using
soap of any kind, certainly not soft
soap, as all soaps leave an odor difficult
to get rid Of. Especial attention should
be paid to the seams, as there is the
hiding place of the little imp that spoils
cheese. Never use a dish-cloth or wash
rag on factory can. A good bristle
brush Is the only correct article TO use
for this purpose. Finally, scald with

A Beautiful Tribute 10 the Horse

When in the morning of the year the
Earth sleeps late, the Sun, her mother,
draws the snow sheet from her and she
wakes drowsily yet with laughter And
the fragrance of her steamy breath Is
Intoxicating, and the hurrying of loosed
streams is world music, and the pale
poi nts that cut the mound are whisper
ing millions of jane leaves and tented
ranks Of gold October corn fields. Then,
in the springtiIne. but highways, the
earth's arteries, pulse with rousing life,
and up and down their lengths thrills
the old, masterful cry that has stirred
the gypsy blood in mems veins since
ways were made-the call of the road.
For around the turn of rot d is ever
what we want most, and ever the road
turns. And ever wnat can carry man
closest to his hearts desire, 30 close
thst-if he may not touch the may
touch the glsdness of it, is a horse So
If a mans heart be heavy, let him ride
horse in the springtime, and the
strength and clean joyfulness of the
beast shall enter him, and his trouble
fall from him And that its true of the
summer and the autumn, and as we'll of
the winter. For the pleasant jostling
of horses movement shakes away
small worries and leaves clear road by
which peace enters the soul Horse

STATE AID IN BUILDING ROADS.
How This Plan Works in Ohio Disiri-
button OF Burden of Tax.

In all states where they are getting
good systems of permanent highways
they have abandoned the time bonored
policy of letting each district huiId its
own roads and have adopted the policy
of state aid and 81 ste supervision.
Under this system the rural districts
pay only portion of the cost, for the
city property and the railroads are tax
ed to pay share, and the states trained
engineers plan and oversee the construc-
tion, thus insuring we'll built road
The states surrounding Wisconsin have
without exception adopted the policy of
state aid for highway construction and
Il is to be hoped that our own state will
fall in line soon. The policy of state
adds always worded in the laws, does
not compel any town to start in to build
expensive roads. 1t only means that
when town wishes to build permanent
roads it will find the county and state
willing to pay part of the cost
BY putting part of the road tax into
permanent roads each year and build
ing a small stretch according to a def
mite plan town can in q few years
have network of fine roads Many
towns in other states have already done
this. AS an example of how the plan
works in Ohio take the town of Deer
field which is one of sixteen towns Of
Ross county and about the average in
value The value of city and village
property in the county is about half of
farm property, so that the farm prop
erty pays two thirds of the county tax
es. In the state the city and village
property exceeds the farm property in
value by about 25 per cent so the state
income is derived chiefly from cities
and corporation taxes. Now If the
town of Deerfield wants to build a
stretch of road costing 81. 900 the state
pays $3.50, the county $500 and the town
itself $3.50 OF the $500 which the
county pays, about $50 is levied back
on Deerfield, s170 on the seven villages
and one city and 1910 on the other fifteen
towns, an average of $50 apiece. The
county tax is thus distributed so that 1t
is a very slight burden indeed. OF the
states share, $3.50, about 1-100 of one
per cent is levied back on Deerfield,
most of the states share being paid by
taxes on city aud corporation property
In this way Deerfield pays about $270
for each 81, 700 spent on permanent
roads, and the remainder Is distributed

be noticed. The railroads and cities
are glad TO assist in this as it is of great
aid to their business.
In connection with a study of road
conditions In our own state the state
geological survey is looking into the
methods of building country roads in
other states. 1t is glad to assist inter-
ested persons to learn more about the
way other states are assisting to build
roads

WISCONSIN TOBACCO WILL REACH
Highest Prices Ever Offered in the His
tory of the Industry in This State.

The general rains and good grow.
ing weather of the past week are rspid.
ly bringing results If present con
ditions continue only halt and heavy
wind storms will prevent the harvest
ing of good crops of the weed in this
section. Some topping has been done
the last few days Concerning cnndi-
tions and prospects of the crop through
ont Wisconsin generally the Free Press
of Yesterday had this to say
Wisconsin tobacco this year will
reach the highest prices ever offered in
the history of the industry in this state,
say local traders who deal in the Wis
consin product At the riesent time
prices ranging from IS to 16 cents a
pound in the field ara offered with the
probability that the price will be higher
Scarcity of the tobacco crop in all the
tobacco producing centers of both the
United States and Cuba has caused the
exceedingly high prices. The Wiscon-
sin crop is 7sid TO have suffered severely
from hail storm that prevailed in
Rock county on Friday ana Saturday
Several hundred acres of tobacco was
ruined, it is said
Wisconsin tobacco is used almost ex-
clusively'for cigars and consumers of
the fragrant weed may look for an ad
vance in the price of their Injuries, &C.
cordlng to & K. Reinhert of Reinhert
d La Boule, who deal in Wisconsin to.
bacco to considerable extent.
Wisconsin tobacco will bring the
highest price in the history of the indus
try" said Mr.. Reinhert yesterday "Buy-
ers are now Offering from Is to Is cents
q pound for the crop in the field. This
is an increase from 2 to 3 cents over
last years prices.
Scarcity Of the crop is attributed to
the advance in prices. Rock county,
one Of the most important centers of
the tobacco growing industry of Wis
consin, was visited by a severe hail
storm last week that ruined several
hundred acres of the crop. Rock, Dane
and Vernon counties are the principal
tobacco centers of this state
Because Of the scarcity of the crop
the tobacco trust has been early in the
field for the output, and this fact has
contributed to the advance in prices.
We shall IDEAL but little in Wisconsin
tobacco this year because of the high
price. The majority of our tobacco
will be secured from Connecticut, where
20 cents is paid for the crop This price
seems high, and it is high, but me- go
very much when the quality of the Con-
necticut product with that of Wisconsin
is considered.
THE average yield of tobacco in Wis
consin is 42000,000 pounds, which is
worth over So 900, 900 The increase in
the price Of Wisconsin tobacco is about
8 cents a pound since 1888 At that
time Wisconsin tobacco was off src., for

The Productive Kiekapoo Section.

The Readstown Herald comments
that tobacco growing is not the only
industry that is attracting attention in
the Ktckspoo valley. Several fields of
ginseng which were planted few
months ago are promising the growers
a very good remuneration. AT Viola
and La Fargo this industry is most
noticeable and in fact these localities
are the only places where it ia grown TO
any extent. The signs which tell of
dangerous mines in the soil is certainly
evident that the crop has value. Some
plants are over foot high and as
thick as they will grow. The fields,
which will average q quarter-scre, each
are enclosed with woven wire fence
covered with brush sufficient to make
shade The experiment promises good
and no doubt more ginseng farms will

A SAD AND UNEXPECTED DEATH.
Blaine d. Rusk Succumbs to an Opera
ton for Appendicitis. at La Crosse.

Blaine Daniel Rusk, Youngest son of
Mrs. Elizabeth Rusk and of the late
Hon. j. n. Rusk, was born August 10.
1874, and died in La Crosse, July 2S,
1905, after a surgical operation from
which he was unable to rally.
The death of Blaine d. Rusk came as
shock to the people of our city. 1t
does not sesm possible that we are never
again to see him in our midst. He will
be sadly missed, not only by the be-
reaved mother and sister in the home
but by all of our citizens. His friends
were limited only by the number of his
acquaintances for he possessed, to a
remarkable degree, the genial disposi-
tion of his father, our lamented citizan,
the late Hon. J. M. Rusk. His illness
was brief and within week from the
time he was on our streets exchanging
greetings with his friends, we were
grouped about his fiower-laden couch
listening with sad hearts to the solemn
words of the pastor who endeavored TO
let the wonderful light Of divine love
illuminate our earthly sorrow.
The funeral was held on Tuesday and
was under the auspices of of the Knights
Templar, F. q A Ms. and band boys.
From ~ m. until 3 p. m., the body laid
In state at the Congregational church
where hundreds from the city and
abroad gathered to pay the last tribute
to friend. The religious services were
in charge of the Revs. Sarles and But
ters, and the closing services at the
church and the services at the grave
were conducted by the Masonic fra
ternity.
While Viroqua has always been the
home of the deceased but few of his
younger years were spent here and his
education was received in the schools of
Madison, Wis, Washington, d G., and
Clinton Liberal Institute of Fort Plains,
New York. For several years he rep
resented the Rusk interest in the Bank
of Viroqua and after the re organization
of the bank he engaged in the business of
life insurance. He was most devoted
son, a kind brother and a true friend
To mourn his loss he leaves an aged
mother, two sisters, Mary E. Rusk of
this city, aud Mrs Charity r. Craig of
Ashville, North Carolina, and one broth
er, Col. J. L. Rusk Of Chippewa Falls.
The relatives from abroad in attend
ance at the funeral of Blaine d. Rusk
were Col. L.J Rusk of Chippewa Falls,
Mrs Minnie Kroening of Milwaukee,
and Mr. and Mrs Wiettus Bergum and
VIM. Bergum of Westby, and Mr.,
jeremiah Rusk of Liberty.
