Mr. Potter and several others, would
not like to give up the telephone, but
they must have their daily mail.
Mrs. Fred Love read an original pa
per and Mrs. Auiler and Mrs. CARRIER
read selections on the subject of Moth
ers Difficulties.
Mr.. Peterson gave very interesting
talk on What has science done for farm
ing? He defined the term science as
applied to farming or agriculture as
knowledge founded on general truths.
This knowledge practically applied had
resulted in the development and inn
proyement of grains, fruits and vegata-
bles, to marvellous degree and the
production of new and unlimited varie-
ties. Science had given us better un-
Outstanding of the soils and the best
methods of maintaining their fertilities,
and other innumerable things it has
done for agriculture. He spoke of Bur-
bank, known to us as the originator Of
the Burbank potatoe, which is found in
every garden and upon every table in
our land, who by his wonderful achieve
ments in the vegetable kingdom through
the application of his knowledge, has
won for himself the title of Burbank,
the Wizard Mr.. Peterson referred to
Dr. Moore of the department of Agri-
culture at Washington, who had by
| LOT fo;Y ~
luminous plants had been enabled to in
crease the yield to an almost incredible
degree.
Irving Auiler and Miss Florence
Rush each gave recitations which were
received with great applause.
Clarence Auiler was asked, how to
make farming success. He said he
liked farming better than any other
work, but could give very little infor-
nation on the subject, and would leave
it for more experienced farmers to
discuss.
f. Fl. Rush presented the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the Burton Farmers
Club favor the bonding of the county
for $4,000 to pay the Indebtedness Of
the county.
After brief discussion the burden Of
which was that the people were not
prepared to adopt this measure until
more definite statement had been made
by the supervisors regarding the &C
emulation of this indebtedness, the
resolutions were laid on the table.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on the first Thursday in April at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Auiler.

DOWN TO BUSINESS.

The controversy between Aldermen
Ewing and Hecker, as to the cost of
maintenance of the city electric light
ing system, has finally sifted down to an
agreement between the two to refer the
matter to thorough investigation by a
disinterested party, to be named by the
mayor. The two will agree as to GER
tain restrictions on the investigation
and will share equally the expense
After report has been made up by the
other party they will cause the same to
be published in city papers above their
own signatures without comment from
either.
This, we think, is the proper way of
getting down to the meat in the cocoa
nut The cross hre arguments submit
ted to certain newspapers the past few
weeks have not been satisfactory to the
public, for there was nothing tangible
in any of them and the public cannot
believe both sides at the same time.
1t is hoped that the mayor will APP
point an unbiased man to mike the in
vestigation who will furnish an impair
tial, comprehensive report, which will
settle the question of cost. The public
is interested in the matter and has a
right to know.

CONNECT TEN WELLS.

During Sunday our citizens were
treated to a supply of river water,
though it was not relished. 1t was not
done by the city authorities for expert
mental purposes, but was necessary.
Before the drive wells can be connect
ed with the pumping station Y pipe
was required to be laid, one section of
which will connect with the wells and
another with the river. While laying
this it was necessary to draw water
from the river and the work was COM
pleted and water turned on from the
large well again at $50 o'clock Sunday
evening.
An effort will be made to connect at
least ten of the drive wells this fall, so
that water can be obtained from them
If more can be connected it will be
I 4 :, LII it is thought ten will be more
than sufficient to furnish the requisite
supply. This will allow pumping of g.
900, 900 gallons, while the average daily
capacity is only about 100000 gallons.
To facilitate the work of digging
trenches for connecting pipes, suction
pumps will be used to pump the water
out of them. Engineers will be en-
ployed night and day in keeping the
pumps at work. The work will progress
faster from now on, for the lead to sthe
old well, which was encountered and
retarded the work, has been passed.

SMALLPOX IN CITY.

A number of mild cases of smallpox
have appeared in the city of late, but it
is thought that by exercising diligence
and adopting precautionary measures,
there should be no fear of a spread of
the disease. As soon as the Robt. An
derson case was discovered the school
board ordered the high school, which
the boy was attending, to be thoroughly
fumigated. Since then four more cases
have developed. In one case it is
thought the parents were aware of the
nature of the disease, but kept the
matter from the attention of a physician.
The case was discovered by the health
officer accidentally and the house is now
quarantined. 1t is in such cases that
the danger lies. A few cases are also
reported in the country and in one in
stance where q house was qurantined
the family broke the quarantine by
leaving the house to attend a funeral
The disease has also made its appear
ance in some of the northern cities, and
there is fear that it viii get into the
lumber camps. The board OF education
of this city, at a recent meeting. decided
TO ask that parents see that their chill
dren are yaccinatci.

to another car, and in doing it he missed
his footing and fell off, rolling down

REV. MARY BAKER EDDY.

The Sunday edition of the New York
World published an article in which it
made many startling statements in ref
erence to Rev. Mary Baker Eddy,
founder of Christian Science, saying
that Mrs Eddy was at the point of
death from an incurable malady; that
she is kept practically in durance at her
home in Concord, N. H; that another
woman, disguised to resemble the
Christian Science leader, rides in her
carriage as it makes its daily round
through Concord streets; together with
assertions regarding Mrs. Eddys for
tune, income and repute in Concord.
On Monday, October 10Th, the Concord
Evening Monitor published about two
pages of statements made by reputable
people, and of high standing, which in
every particular disprove the state
ments made in the New York World.
George H. Moses, editor of the Daily
Monitor, has this to say at the head of
the various published statements
The New York World of October %

corning Mrs Mary q. Eddy. The pub

its falsitV and abSurditywere immediate

POLITICAL TRICKERY EXPOSED.

To THE VOTERS OF MARATHON COUNTY !:
My opponent, Franklin E. Bump, is
making an attempt to discredit my
candidacy for the office of district at
torney by means of circular letter
which he has sent throughout the coun-
ty. Not so much to justify the conduct
of my campaign, but to expose the
gross Misrepresentation of that article,
your attention the true facts of the
matter.
/ In personal interview with Judges
SilVerthorn, Marchetti and Miller, held
about two weeks ago, permission was
granted me to use their names as a ref
erence as to my legal standing and
qualifications. accordingly prepared
and mailed letters to residents of Mara
thon county in which the following
paragraph appeared: ''To any voter
who is anxious to acquaint himself with
my record and qualifications | refer
him to w. e. Silverthorn, Circuit
Judge; Louis Marchetti, Municipal
Judge, and Henry Miller, County
Judge, before whom l have presented
cases and who are acquainted with my
| work"
The fact that permission to do this
was given me has not been denied by
them. In fact each OF the three judges
admits and will testify to the truth
thereof, and Mr.. Bump was informed
of this fact, but conveniently forgot, or
wilfully failed to include the same in
his circular
Mr.. Bump says that the publication
] as it appeared in the Athens Record,
( was not authorized by the judges. OF
course it was not What they did do,
and what they had perfect right to do,
was to permit me, las well as any other
reputable attorney, Mr.. Bump not ex-
cepted,) to use their names as a refer
ence as to my legal record and qualiti-
cations. For this purpose alone, was
it made use of by me, and in no sense
was it intended to drag our judges into
politics. | yield to no man in my re-
spect for the judiciary, norAwould | will
fully do our judges an injustice.
But mark the use Mr. Bump has made
CT the signed statement He has wrong
fully made use of the names of our
Judges by placing the statement in the
center of a Vicious political document
with the intent and purpose of giving
to the whole document an appearance
of endorsement by the Judges. Is Mr..
Bump showing the high respect due our
Courts, such as he in his letter pretends
to have), when he knowingly perverts
the intent and meaning of the statement
into a malicious campaign document
and sends it broadcast throughout the
county in an attempt to discredit me?
Is this fair politics, to spread this docu-
ment throughout the county one and
Two days before the election when it
has become manifestly impossible for
me to answer it?
In conclusion | wish to state that in so
far as | am responsible, | regret that
the Judges have been dragged into this
matter. But am perfectly willing to
submit the question to the fairness and
good sense of the voters of Marathon
County. Many of you | am acquainted
with. Most of you have heard some
thing of my qualifications and record.
On this am willing to stand. Let Mr..
Bump stand on his record.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK F. REGNER.

CAN KILL DEAR SOON.

The open season for killing deer com
menees next Sunday and continues for
twenty days. Parties of hunters are
preparing now to 90 TO the northern
woods. The traffic on the railroads
will be increased as will also the bust
ness of the undertaken John White,
editor of the Marshfield News, believes
that for the protection of his fellow men
hunter should be compelled to pass a
rigid examination as to his fitness, upon
making application for license. If he
passes the examination satisfactorily
he should be treated as any other
American citizen; otherwise as an anar-
chist. Here are few of the questions
suggested by Bro. White, to be incor-
porated in the examination:
"Are you married, insane, or both?
Can you tell which end of gun is
dangerous? While suffering with an
attack of buck fever do you think you
could tell the difference between a red
jacketed hunter and deer? Can you
tCll hhOh q I'll 10 lOttOCo lOOh-
ing into the muzzle or pointing it at
friend and swapping it? When were
you last examined for insanity, and
were you ever an inmate of home for
the feeble minded? In going over
fence would you crawl through and
pull the gun after you? Both in range,
which would you shoot first rabbit or
a gray horse? Are you a prohibitionist?
If not do you believe that the use of in
toxicating liquors aids you in seeing
more game? What kind, if any, do you
use, squirrel or barb wire? At what
distance do you think you could kill
another hunter? Have you ever pre-
mediated murder or been a member of
bridge whist club? Do you shoot by
sound or wait for the game? How long
would it take to tell all you know about
the use of fire arms? Would you rather
miss killing deer than take the chances
of making an angel out of COM
panion? Do you believe in shooting in
haste and repenting at leisure? Lastly
can you tell the difference between a
Winchester rifle and squirt gum"
