Wonderful Builders,

A personal inspection of the pyra-
mids made by an English quarry own
er led him to the conclusion that the
old Egyptians were better builders
than those of the present day. He
found blocks of stone in the pyramids
weighing three or four times as much
AS the obelisks on the banks of the
Nile. He saw a stone the estimated
weight of which was 800 tons. Many
of the stones were found to be thirty
feet in length and fitted so closely to-
gether that the blade of a penknife
could be run over the surface without
discovering the break between them.
There is no machinery, he claims, so
perfect that it will make two surfaces
thirty feet in length which will meet
together in unison as the stones in the
pyramids meet.

For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited news
paper which commands great circula-
ton is probably the most potent influ-
ence for good in the United States to-
day. The power for the better things in
public affairs and politics, for instance,
which is welded by such newspaper as
The Chicago Record Herald can scarce
ly be exaggerated, and much of that
strength comes in the case of this lead
ing Chicago daily from the fact that it
is absolutely independent, fearless and
fair. It is not the mouthpiece of any
interest except that of the public. The
Record Herald champions the cause of
the good, the clean, the beneficial in
every matter of city. state or national
movement. 1t is the knowledge on the
part of it's readers that it cares not whom
it hits or what enemies it makes, so long
as 1T is battling for the welfare of the
community, which gives to The Record
Herald much of the influence it enjoys.
1t gives in it's news columns the most
complete and impartial reports of politi-
cal events, another evidence of its splen-
did news service.

Miss Martha Stockman, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs Hugh Stockman, died early
Monday morning at the home of her
parents south of the village, after lin
gering illness of tn tuberculosis.
Interest is increasing in the suit
brought against the town officials by E
G MCGOWAN and it is quite likely that
the fight will be strenuous one. One
good result from the case is that it is
awakening our citizeds to realization
of the disadvantages of the present form
of township government when applied
to village of nearly thousand inhab-
itants. No matter what the outcome of
the present case the fact remains That so
long as the present form of government
remains, we are open to similar occur
rences at any time. The only remedy
for this is incorporation and it is being
generally talked that move should be
made in this direction.

Mr. and Mrs w G McMillen with Cliff
ford and Floence left the fore part of
the week for Virginia where they will
spend several weeks at the jamestown
exposition.
The past two weeks there has been
quiet struggle going on between the old
warning forces, the carp fishermen and
the people. Last winter the largest petit
ton presented to the state legislature
was one asking that seining be prohib-
tied on Lake Koshkonong and in Rock
river in Jefferson county and that fyke-
netting be reduced to the river only, and
to that portion of the year when the lat
ter was covered with ice. The bill was
killed but the provisions deemed most
important were embodied in the present
fish and game law and passed the AS
sembly by large majority.
Fire last Saturday evening completely
destroyed the large barn in what is
known as the Drexheimer property. Mr.
Hageman lost his touring car which was
stored in the barn. The machine, which
was valued at about $500, was insured
for $500 under policy expiring Sunday
noon. AT the time of the fire Mr. Hage-
man was under the impression that the
policy had expired on the 10Th instant.
A slight delay in paying the premium
had delayed the policy unbeknown to
him and now he is 5000 better off than
he thought he was.
That bulls must be handled with eter.
nal vigilence was illustrated on the w
D Hoard farm last week Thursday. The
foreman of the farm, August Cramer,
united the large Guernsey bull to take
him out when the bull suddenly at
tackled him, throwing him over into an
other stall. Like fash the bull sprang
upon him and had he not firmly grasped
the bulls horns, the latter would have
made short work of him. AS it was Mr.
Cramer was hoisted and driven through
the Stats of the feed rack again and
again. His cries finally brought assis-
lance and just as he was thrown over
into another stall and lay almost help
less the tie rope on the bull was snubbed
around post and the animal held. It
was close call and Mr. Cramer consid-
ers himself fortunate that his life was
spared. He suffered a broken wrist
three ribs fractured and large number
of bad bruises on the body.

After forty years of continuous service
in the wagon business, and for the past
five years the very efficient local mana
ger of the Mandt Wagon Co, Mr. Lund
has resigned from the responsible posi-
ton, and his place will be filled by G Ell
Carver who is promoted from assistant
manager, position which he has most
ably filled for the past two years. Mr.
Lund is not decided as to his future fol-
lowing, being offered two lucrative posi-
tions, but for time will enjoy much
needed rest, the cause of his resignation.
All will regret the step Mr. LIND has
taken, but trust that health and pros

years experience is we'll fitted for the

and the flames shot out and struck him
in the face, burning his eyes and face
quite badly. Fortunately he will suffer
no permanent injury but it was mar

The electrical storm which passed over
this section Thursday night was the
worst of the season. The storm was &C
companied by strong wind and for
about an hour and half the lightning
flashes were almost continuous. During
the storm a bolt of lightning struck and
demolished the chimney on VIM Krause's
house and also tore off large strip of
shingles, but little damage was done to
the interior of the house. Part of the
same bolt struck the roof of Mrs Sever
sons house adjoining and did consider
able damage in tearing off shingles and
roof boards. During the same night the
wind blew down Olavis Nordland's to-
bacco shed just west of the village.
Crops also suffered some damage by the
storm.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address,
