RADICAL IN ITS PROVISIONS
Wisconsin Assembly Passes Public
Utilities Bill 49,.

Madison, Wis, June 10.-The Repub-
lican administration public utilities
bill was, sent through the assembly by
the overwhelming vote Of Z to TO-.
The bill is the most radical ever
passed by any state in the Union. It
gives to the present state railroad
commission absolute power over all
public utilities except telegraph and
telephone. The commission even has
the power to forbid the establishment
of new companies when it believes
such new concerns would make the
existing conditions less satisfactory.
The rates to be charged, the nature of
the service to be given and the like
all are included in the measure.

Successful Manner.
The commencent exercises OF
the High school, which were held
at the opera house last evening
were of a most interesting and
pleasing character, and the pro,
gram as published last week was
carried out in a most felicitous
manner. The class consisted of

Carolyn Johnson, Carrie Mae
Leavitt, HELEN Marguerite john.
son, Charles Elton Sutcliffe,
Pearl Marian Hevener, Ethel

The essays aud declarations
were of an excellent character,
and were most creditably deliv-
cred, rejecting credit on the
young people who were closing
their high scool life. The stage
was very pretti.y decorated for
the occasion with the class colors,
motto, and flowers, and with the
class seated in q semi.circle pre-.
sented a pleasing scene. The
members of the class of OF and
the faculty of the school are to
be congratulated on the splen-
did success of the commence.

A.. D. Paulson, at one time
cashier of a bank in Sisseton,
has been in considerable trouble
Of late. Some time ago while
his wife was out in Washington
state for an extended visit, Paul
son instituted divorce proceed
ings, but Mrs. Paulson learned
OF a move in time to return and
prevent the granting of a d.
vorce. Paulson went away re-
Gently, and last week was arrest
ed in Minneapolis on a warrant
sworn out by his wife on the
charge of desertion. Sheriff
Minder went down and brought
him to Browns Valley, but he re-
fused to 60 further without re
QUESTION papers, on advice of his
attorney.
On Monday Mrs. Paulson came
over from Sisseton with her at .
torney, and a settlement was eff
fected, Paulson turning over all
of his property to his wife, and
the latter agreeing not to oppose
divorce proceedings on the part
of her receant spouse. The pro-
perty given to Mrs. Paulson was
a residence in Sisseton, an $500
equity in a farm, about s., 600 in
secured paper, and a note signed
by Paulson and a prominent man
of Sisseton, for $500. 1t is said
that this leaves Paulson fnan-
cially broke, and without wife or
family, but it gives him a chance
to begin life again, and to marry
the young woman with whom he
had become enamored.- Browns

OELlRIUM TREMENS.
Malt Liquors ~ Well as whisky
Bring ON Dread

The conclusive symptom of chronic
lnebriety is delirium tremens. 1.-The hor-
rors." says ]. w. Helburn in American
Magazine. 'None but the true inebri-
ate gets it, n most inebriates get it
zone or later, though some escape
the actual delirium that is the typical
feature. 1t must not be confused with
alcoholic insanity, the violent dementia
brought on in some persons by amounts
Of alcohol often too small to cause in
toxication. True delirium tremens Is
literally the result Of soaking. 1t comes
on when the tissues are saturated with
alcohol. Usually it appears at the end
Of a long spree or in the case Of q
steady drinker when he has been TAX
Ing more than his usual allowance.
But as alcohol remains in the tissues
from three to eight days the delirium
may develop some days after the spree.
whereupon the victim usually ascribes
It to the fact that he gave up alcohol
and took to water. 1t is a state Of col
lapse, insomnia, trembling, acute ter
ror n usually violent delirium, which
lasts from two to five days. Me
nagerie delirium,' the vision Of violent
mice and iridescent snakes generally
supposed to prevail. is not very com
mon, snakes being rarer than other an
imals.
"The ordinary delirium centers about
the usual occupation of the patient.
Its violence can be judged by the de
gree to which his visions are indie
pendent Of his will and by the terror
they cause him A teamster, for in
stance, usually drives horses in his de-
lirium. If they obey him he will get
we'll, but If they back against his or
ders or bolt he is thrown into a state
OF extreme terror n is pretty certain
to die. The decisions of q first attack
are always terrifying, but in later re-
currences the experienced drinker is
often aware of his condition and
watches his own Authorizations with a
sort Of impersonal amusement. The
supposedly harmless malt liquors are
slower in bringing on del!rium tremens
than whisky, but usually bring ON ug-
lier attacks. Contrary to general opin-
ion. they are responsible for a consid-
cradle share Of the inebriety of this
country. Some years ago DR.. Charles
l.. Dana, at that time visiting physi-
clan to Bellevue hospital, recorded the
form of liquor used by nearly 200 in
ebriate patients. A third drank whis-
ky, nearly a third beer and whisky and
a quarter malt LIQUORS Altogether. III
rest took anything that contained al
cohol. There are virtually no wine
drinking inebriates in this country"

~HARMFULNESS OF BEER.
A Scientist ON the D~eleteriOus Effects
OF Malt Liquors.

a V0 ~
OF Malt Liquors.
DR.. Adolph Won Struempell Of Munich
10 without question the greatest living
authority on the subject Of the deleteri-
Gus effects of beer. He lives and prac-
tees in a city devoted to beer. where
beer is regarded as a veritable ambro-
sla. This Is his opinion:
Nothing, from the physician's stand
point, is falser than to think that the
evil influence Of alcohol is lessened
through the increased substitution of
beer for the stronger alcoholic drinks"
Beer also produces fatty degenera-
tons, which the stronger drinks do not
produce. 1t is also responsible for
many heart disorders.
Most important Of all, perhaps, is the
fact that beer drinking is the primary
school of the drunkard. 1t is in this
way that the boy is educated to a lik-
ing for the effects of alcoholic intox-
ication or has reused within him the
sleeping lion of an inherited liking for
alcoholic stimulation. 1t Is quite safe
to say that fully 80 per cent Of all
drunkards are beer drinking graduates.
Indeed, the sight of the novice in drink
ing standing up at the bar to take his
FIRST lesson in alcoholic indulgence by
drinking spirits is as are as the sight
Of his taking beer under like circum-
stances is common.
Moreover, it is under the deceptive
mask Of a pleasant tasting and nutri-
tious beverage. as beer, that alcohol
finds it's way into circles otherwise
completely closed to 1t. The humble
family which sends to the nearest sa-
loon for a pitcher Of beer to be drunk
by all its members, young and old, and
the family in better circumstances
which keeps a case Of beer in it's cellar
for ind4scriminate use Of young and
old alike are certainly preparing the
way to the development of drunkards.
The beer drunkard's end is thus de-
scribed by Professor Won Struempell:
when we see year after year a not
Insignificant number Of respected men,
skillful in their calling, sicken and die
when sickness and death certainly are
chiefly or exclusively due to the sup
posedly innocent habit Of drinking from
two to three liters Of beer daily, should
It not be the earnest attention Of the
physician to call attention to this dan
gerous habit?"
