REPORTED ON
COUNTY ASYLUM
Highway Commission Matter
Referred to Committee

The County Board met at O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon for its Fall ses-
sion. All but fourteen of the men,
bers were present, and the afternoon
session was purely routine work, such
as the referring of petitions, introduc-
ton of resolutions, and assignment of
committee work.
A communication was read from
the state superintendent of high
ways, in which was enclosed the
opinion of the attorney general, as to
the new law requiring the adoption
of highways, and the appointment of
a supervisor of highways. The
opinion stated that the statute was
mandatory, and the county boards
must comply with the same Chair
man Hooper, in response to motion
directing the appointment of COM
mittee OF three to recommend the
matter for action, announced that he
would name the committee as follows:
E. M. Deming, f. L. Phillips, Nash
Mitchell and the district ATTORNEY.
The report of the committee on a
county asylum recommended that
Wood county apply to the state i'm
mediately for permit to construct
such an institution. A resolution
following the report and which was
adopted, committed the Board to
such action.
The report stated that Wood county
should build an institution of this
kind as soon as possible, buildings
and grounds to cost about 1925 900.
1t also recommended the combination
or the designed institution with the
County Poor Farm. In most counties
having such institutions it was found
that they were nearly all self sustain
ing. The matter of location was left
entirely for future action of the
Board, the committee making nc
recommendations. The report stated
that a permit from the state could
not be secured before 1910.

AN INTERESTING
AND INSTRUCTIVE PLAY

Nothing in the way of moving pic
ture entertainments that have ever
been seen in this city before, can in
any way compare with the wonderful
Passion Play now on exhibition at
Wonderland Electric Theater.
The play is reproduction of the
wonderful Passion Play observed every
ten years in the little village of Oberam
morgan Bavaria. 1t is realistic rep
resentation. A silent story of the
life OF Jesus the Christ, dealing with
the various periods from the ascention.
A competent lecturer Mr.. Titus, who

Many people have been complain
ing lately because the water coming
through the city water mains was
white and milky when drawn from the
faucets. Not knowing the cause of
this they naturally supposed that
some foreign substance was mixed in
the water However, Supt Pfffer ex-
plains that one of the valves at the
main station was not tight, and in
consequence the pump sucked air, and
it was the permeation of the entire
system with this air that caused the
discoloration. However, as soon as
this works out, the milky color will
entirely disappear.

A Journal special from Marinette
says: A report emanating in Milwau-

ing to the effect that Senator Isaac
Stephenson had disposed of his in-
terest in the Free Press to w. D. Con-
nor. Mr.. Stephenson was seen by a
representative of The Journal and
emphatically denied the story. He
said there had been no negotiations
looking to the sale of his interest in
the paper. He added further that ne
expected to retain his interest in The
Free Press in the future just as he
had in the past. Mr.. Stephenson
said: "My interests in The Free
Press have not been sold and l have
no intention of disposing of them. I
consider them one of the best assets I
have and hope it will continue to be
the assets, it has been in the past for
the people of Wisconsin.
Dec 1st mileage books will be put in
by the lines Of the Westesn Passenger
Association, on decision reached at
a meeting held in Chicago. There
will be two kinds, one for 1000 miles
and the other for 1000 for $40 and $40
respectively. While the books win be
convenient to the public from the
fact that they will be good for bearer.
This means that the commercial
house, for instance, can purchase
number of the books, and they may
be used at any time by anybody they
are handed out to. twill also permit
the owner of the book TO pay for the
fare or his family or friends by simply
handing over the book to the con-
ductor, and telling who are in the
party. The new arrangement will
make Identification unnecessary and
save all the bother and trouble in
cident to the former plan. The old
books. which went practically out of
existence when the cent rates in the
different states in the territory went
into effect, could only be used by those
who purchased them and had their |

"A neighbor Of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in
her side for years and was an invalid.
She was not able to do her work and

thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. II she tried to do a
little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.

drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and has used
Postum yer since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can

VocaIize in Spring at a Rate Of 1870
Chirps a Minute.
The chipmunk is not usually consid-
cred much of a songbird, but according
to Ernest Thompson Seton he is quite
a success in a vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted On some log or root, it
reiterates a loud, chirpy "Chuck-chuck
chuck!" Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some
perch add their Observation-Disclosures"
to the spring salute. They are active
from this time of the year on, and
their sunny morning chorus is not by
any means confined to that original
outburst. On April 20, 1905. at Cos
Cob, heard a chipmunk in full song.
He kept it up for eleven minutes with
out ceasing, and uttered $50 chirps to
the minute. He got no reply, though
he worked very hard and seemed tired
toward the last. On May %, 1905, at
Cos Cob, l heard a chipmunk singing.
He kept it up for three minutes, utter.
ing three chirps to the second.
