Editor Bedgood of the Black Rock Telephone has been having troubles of his own for several weeks, but says now that his troubles are disposed of and the future never looked more bright to him. To the man who takes up the duties and responsibilities of life with an unfiinching persever- ance and pushes onward with q grim determination to succeed, unmind full of the little fiings that are in variably cast at the individual who thus stands out somewhat above the plane of mediocrity, troubles are of short duration. Brother Bedgood is good newspaper man, and we hope his troubles have only served to further develop his resourcefulness.

: THE PASTORS COLUMN Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jerngan In
 { the Interest All That is Good
1865 AND 1907

Between these two dates lie
 many deeds and many changes. This June the 5th records the day
 in the march of time that Mrs.
 Jernigan and our little girl, Will
 leen, go to Melbourn to see Mir.
 Smith, Mrs. Jernigan's father,
 who is dangerously i'll, and not
 expected to recover. But the blue
 June day of 1865 forty-two years
 ago today, recorded another event
 in our family history that will
 keep 1t alive as long as my gener-
 ation exists. We were living at
 our old home place, three miles north of Newark, where we, like
 many of our neighbors, had wait
 ed the ending of the bloody con- fict between the North and South. It came, and with the ending of the war, an open door before the few ''old rebs' who had escaped the terrors of war, as to death, and they faced for home, sweet home."
 Among these brave boys, was one for whom we were all much oncerned. Surrendering at Greenville, N. C., he began his journey homeward. He and Crock Wade were mess mates and came home together. The day is fresh. so much so, that after all these years of~ups and downs, 1 almost feel myselfa 14 year old boy blow ing sugar cane on that memorable June day of 1865. My brother, Will, Ras Baker and many more of the boys on this side of the river, had gone to old Jackson port to surrender. Here the soldier boys met and my brother, Tom, and Crock Wade, who had been 'hoofng 1t" for four years made charge on Will Jernigan and Ras Baker and captured their horses and came into my fathers about II o'clock, June ,. 1865. That was joyful day. Oh, how my mothers heart leaped for joy when she clasped to her bosom the old solder boy. There he was; had been gone from 'home, sweet home' for three long, bloody years and nine amonths. We had not seen his face nor heard his voice and only an occasional letter,
 How on earth did my father and stand 1t; aye, as we'll as many thousands more, whose noble sons were at war, and all that war meanss Thank God 1t Is all over.

Safe. Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles Of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre
dents which are exactly adapted tc
the purposes for which a plaster is re
quired. They are speedy in their &C
ton because their medicinal qualitie,
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have beer
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

APART 10 YEARS; WE'D AGAIN.
Couple Long Divorced Decide They
Should Be Reunited,

Married in opposition to the wishes
of the brides parents; divorced two
years after the ceremony and remar-
ried after separation of eighteen
years are three chief events in the
lives of Mr.. and Mrs. John Archibald
The bride, whose maiden name was
Miss Maude Anderson, met John Arch
ibald twenty years ago and both fell
in love at sight. She was then twelve
years old and he was twenty-four.
two years later they were married at
Chippewa Falls in spite of the siren
uous objections of the brides parents
They lived together five weeks when
gradually misunderstanding arose
and a separation followed They
never quarreled, but simply drifted
apart.
Two years later Mrs. Archibald Sc
cured a divorce. Since then their re-
lations have always been most cordial
and a regular correspondence has al
ways been kept UP. Both have felt for
some years past that they were max
ing a mistake in pursuing their lives
apart, and their second marriage fol-
lowed their determination to make
new start under more favorable aus
pieces.
Mr.. Archibald has been a resident of
Stevens Point for the last twenty
years and is known as reliable citi-
zen and successful business man.

WAS NOT RESCUED BY STUDENT

The story regarding the rescue of
President Van Hise of the university
on Lake Mendoza on Christmas day
has narrowed down to the fact that it.
was a member of the faculty that res,
cued the head of the university. The
people that know who this member Of
the faculty is refuse to tell, as he
seems to desire to have his name I'M
known in the matter. It is claimed
that one or more students were on the
shore near at hand, but made no at
tempt to help. In fact, it is claimed,
that instead of going out to aid when
called upon they refused, and when
asked the reason stated that the ice
looked too Ireacherous for them to
dare the attempt.

His Double, However, IauSeo oSdHua'
by Champagne Suppers.
A case of mistaken identity mas
proved embarrassing to the friends OF
DR.. w. F. Biederwolf, the eminent evan
gelist, who recently conducted series
of revival meetings at La Crosse. DR..
Biederwolf stopped at the Hotel Stod-
dard and during the whole period or
his stay a convivial travelling man oc-
cupied apartments on the same floor as
the religious worker. Midnight sup
ners. in which wine flowed freely, were
features of the stay of the travelling
man and, both he and DR.. Biederwolf
being strangers, the impression got
abroad that the man with the thirst
for wine and the big bill at the hotel
buffet was the evangelist, who was
nightly holding forth against the evils
of intemperance. Finally the stories
attained such circulation and were re-
ceived with such joy in all the saloons,
that friends of DR.. Biederwolf found 1t
necessary to make an announcement
TO the effect that the charges in refer
ence to him were entirely untrue. DIR.
Biederwolf has returned to his home
in Indiana, after three weeks or re-
markable work in La Crosse.

BRIDE OR GROOM BY MAIL ORDER
Decree to Stop Clerks Marrying
BRINGS New Project.

A Chippewa Falls mercantile firm
has obtained. so much notoriety from
the enforcement of an order prohibit
ing female clerks to marry within
the first year of their employment
that it has decided to establish mat
rimonial annex as feature OF its otn-
er business. Cupid has for some time
made such ravages among the female
clerks of the establishment that mem
bers of the firm, believing that drastic
methods were required, issued the pro
hibitory order. This fact was an
nounced to the local papers and teie-
graphed TO outside papers with the
result that they were swamped with
applications from far and near by old
maids and young maidens, widows,
sod and grass, who were willing TO
try to withstand the allurements Of
the position. This fact, too, was duly
chronicled by the news gatherers, and
now a second deluge of eplstles has
begun to pour in, this time from elig1-
Bile bachelors and widOwers who are
seeking their souls affinity and feel
sure that she is to be found among
some of the applicants for clerkships.
The department store prOprletors
were at first annoyed at the notorlety
their prohibitory order had secured
for them, but as this had no erect
upon the flood of applications from
both sources, they have at last dec1d-
ed to establish a mail order marriage
bureau and furnish the would-be ben
edicts with the addresses of their fair
applicants for positions in their store.
Some of the male applicants are
said to be wealthy and have inclosed
photographs of themselves. One let
ter from farmer writing from Ellen
dale, n. D., is as follows:
Il see by the Twin City papers that
you are being bothered to some ex
tent with widows and old maids. This
is not the case up in this part OF the
world. Now, gentlemen, if you will dc
me a great favor | will call you for
ever blessed. | am looking for true
old maid or a fine looking widow, to
take the happiness Of life with me.
am worth from $4,000 to $4,000,
have a good home and 480 acres OF
land. Just show this to some good
true woman and tell her to write"
One true old maid, one widow (sod)
and one widow (grass) have been
duly consigned to the inquirer and the
correspondence has begun.-W.

JUDGES WANT NEW LAWS.
Plans to Make Probate Work Through
out the State More Uniform.

County judges in the First Wiscon.
sin district have received from the
legislative committee of the Wisconsin
Association of County Judges copies OF
the bills to be presented at the coming
session of the legislature. The COM
mittee will recommend about forty
new laws and amendments to make
the probate laws in the different cOun-
ties of the state more uniform. Many
of the old troubles of the probate court
are to be done away with, and errors
that have been in the laws for years
will be eliminated
The most interesting portion of the
report is two laws proposed in a sup
plement to the report. These laws re.
late to the salaries of county judges
and the terms of office. The first law
provides that the salaries of the county
judges in the different counties of the
state shall be fixed according to the
population of the counties and the
amount Of work required by the
COu1 " Ills Gnu C1S AA ~ W ANSN
that the compensation shall be fixed
by state law as follows: A county
Judge to receive 500 for the first thou.
sand of population in the county, and
an additional $50 for each additional
thousand of population up to $4,000,
when the compensation shall Increase
at the rate of $50 for each 5000 people.
This salary shall be in lieu of all fees
formerly paid to the county judges. 1t
is made a condition of the law that in
no case shall the salary of the county
Judge be greater than that paid to the
circuit judge in the district. The law
would fix the salary of the register OF
probate at $500, and allowing him addt
tional fees for his work.
The section in regard TO the terms
of office provides that beginning with
the elections of 1909 the judges shall
be chosen for term of six instead OF
four years. 1t is understood that the
State Association of County Judges
will make every effort to secure the
passage of the laws proposed by the
committee The judges will meet IN
Milwaukee on Jan. 10 to consider TINS
proposed legislation and make plans TO
urge the passage Of the laws.-W.

SNAPS ALL CUT OUT.
Legislative Jobs in Wisconsin Are De-
cIared to Be Under Civil Service.

Legislative Jobs in Wisconsin Are De-
clared to Be Under Civil Service.
The throng for legislative snaps" at
he session of the Wisconsin law
makers will have to go through the
much disliked system Of competitive
examinations, and the highest compctl-
ors will receive the positions on the
salary list. Patronage to be struggled
Tor by members and passed to the hun
cry faithful is thing of the past, ac-
cording to an opinion announced ny
Attorney General L. NJ. Sturdevant
that every salaries emp1oye of the leg
tsIature. except the chief clerk and the
sergeant-at-arms of the senate and rhc
assembly, must be subjected to the
application of the merit system by the
civil service commission.
The attorney general in making tbs
holding reverses himself, for fifteen
months ago he declared to the civil
service commission that only stenogra-
piers and typewriters in the legisla-
ture are designated by the employe
law as coming within the competitive
system of examination and appoint
ment.
He now holds that if any employees
other than those elected by the legis-
lature are not appointed, are excepted
from merit law it would be repeal
by implication of portion of the civil
service law. He examines the statutes
and court decisions and concludes that
pull and influence will count no more
to fill the fat legislative positions.
The opinion was a surprise to the
civil service commission, as it had
completed it's examinations for leglsla-
tive stenographers and typeWrlters,
and has only a week to prepare and al
minister the examinations for appll-
cants for the other positions. How
ever, the commission was hurriedly
summoned and Chief Examiner f. e..
Doty Immediately announced the eX-
aminations for Jan. s, the day after
the Inauguration Of the new state Off
GERS and day prior to the converting
of the legislature.
This opinion by the attorney general
is said to threaten the continuance OF
the merit system in Wisconsin, for
members Of the legislature have al
ways brought friends with them to the
sessions and demanded that places be
given them on the pay roll. There IS
already heard the rumbling of discon-
tent and some members have declared
that they would introduce and press to
enactment a bill to repeal the entire
civil service reform law which was
placed on the statute books for the
first time two years ago. Friends OF
the merit system, however, are in lit
tie fear, for they point to the fact that
such laws are not repealed in otsar
states were tried.-W.
