Takes Issue with the President.

Madison. Taking issue with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the desirability OF
raising large families. Prof Edward
A. Ross. head of the sociology depart
ment Of the Wisconsin State universe
", told his class that Restriction in
the birth rate Is a movement which at
the bottom Is salutary and that evils
In its train appear to be minor or
transient or self-limlting or durable
Another theory of Prof Ross that
will attract attention and possibly
draw rejoinder is as follows In the
face of the hobby riders, | maintain
that the cause of the shrinkage in
fecundity lies in the human will as in
tluence by certain factors which have
their roots deep In tho civilizations OF
our times"

WHEN THE FISH HURDLE.
Man Wanted to Be Far Away From
the Danger Spot.

OF course at this season the usual
run of fish stories" are going the
rounds. But one relating to the
hurdling prowess of bass and trout,
which was told in all earnestness the
other night, takes first prize.
Fish always go up stream in the
springtime," said the fisherman. and
scarcely anything will keep the bass
and trout from getting near the head
waters. | have known these two
species to jump over a dam eight to
ten feet high and continue their up
stream journey"
What was that you said?" re
marked a friend, who also claims to
be somewhat of an angler. The man
repeated his assertion that he mad
seen fish jump over dams eight to ten
feet high, and as there was no one
present to deny the hurdIng abilities
of the fish, the only challenge to his
remarkable statement was a laugh by
all hands.
"Well, trust l will never be on the
top of Niagara falls when one of those
hurdIing fish you speak of comes fly
ing through the air and hits me in the
eye remarked the friend. That
broke up the fish stories for that even
ing, but the man still insists that
tenfoot dam can be hurded by either
a bass or trout.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients Of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex.
pert, of whatever school OF nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthen was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test OF many
years experience in the treatment OF
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every Ingredient
of Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure Of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM.
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
hut notleast, brings to the home thevast
and varied experience of Dr. Hartman,
iniheuse ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, AMI been
told that their case is one Of chroluc
catarrh. 1t may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease, The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that oatarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea 10
that this remedy can besupplied direct.
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling it.
No other household remedy so uni.
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

Bankers Vote Down Resolution.

4 resolution relating to open mar
ket borrowing was submitted to the
executive council of the Wisconsin
State Bankers association, which
met in the Hotel Pfster at Milwaukee,
It was generally understood, without
il being so stated, that the resolution
was designed to prevent the recur-
renee Of a borrowing scheme much III
evidence in connection with the bank
ruptcy of the Smith, Thorndike X
Brown company. The purpose OF the
resolution is to compel all seekers for
loans to issue a statement of their al
fairs as a basis Of credit. These
statements must be audited by pub
lie accountant. Through lack Of this
precautiou it was stated in the de-
bate. heavy losses had resulted to a
number of banks Immediately the
resolution was brought up for debate
it was opposed by the representatives
of the country banks They pointed
out that to compel the auditing of all
statements submitted by seekers OF
loans would be to compel the employ
ing of special accountants. The eX-
pense of this would absorb all of the
profit that might arise from the loan.
1t was stated by those fayoring the
resolution that it was not intended to
apply to the banks and business firms
in smaller cities, but only to large mu-
inequalities, where, as had been the
case recently in Milwaukee, bond
agents were often misled through
false statements into securing money
from banks, when such statements
were afterward found to be irregular.
The resolution was finally adopted as
the sense and desire of the conven.
ton, but not made obligatory.

RUNNING A

Running newspaper is just like
running a hotel, only different.
When a man goes into hotel and
finds something on the table that
does not suit him he does not raise
hades with the landlord and all in
his old hotel Well hardly. He
sets that dish aside and wades in
to the many dishes that suit him.
1t is different with some newspa-
per readers. They find an article
occasionally that does not suit
them exactly and without stopping
to think it may please hundreds
of other readers, make grand
stand play and tell the editor how

Obituary.
JAMES CONowAY.

Mf. James COn0Way was born In
Steubenville, Ohio, Sept. %, 1926,
and died in Logan, March IA,
1907, at the age of 80 years 5
months and 10 days. When but a
child he moved with his parents
to farm in Muskingum County,
Ohio. When he was about six
years old his mother died, and
when he was thirteen his father
passed away. He then made his
home with Mr.. Moore until he was
twenty-one.
On Feb. 90, 1852 he was united
in marriage and moved at once to
Hooking County and settled on
farm, which he bought, near IN
Ion Furnace. In about one year
his Dung companion was taken to
the good world, 1t is sufficient to
say that for forty five years he
knew what it was to pass through
the varied experiences of sunshine
and shadow, of joy and sorrow, of
victories and losses. He did not
not marry again until Aug. %,
1860 and on March "a, 1867 his
home was broken up by the death
of his companion, leaving him
with two little boys.
On May %, 1869, he was united
in marriage with the one who sur
wives him and mourns with a true
heart and an inexpressible sense
of loss. For almost thirty-eight
years they have shared the com
forts and prosperity of a good
home and have mingled their tears
amid some of the great SORROWS of
life. The mutual affection has
been very true, the interests have
been one and the growing sense of
companionshlp has made the home
ties very dear.
Mr. Conoway loved his home as
a true husband and father. The
trials of his later life were per-
haps not more severe but he seemed
less able to bear them.
On Feb, %, 1887 his son u. L.,
who was then five years old, was
taken to his eternal home. The
shadows resting upon the home
were dark and the hearts were
heavy. But the food of sorrow
came on May z, 1893, when the
only daughter, Stella, lovely |
girl of almost nineteen summers,
was taken. She was the light of
the home, the joy of the parents,
and there came no explanation of
why she should be taken. From
this great shock Mr.. Conoway |
never fully recovered. Within
three years he moved to Logan
and never cared to return to the
farm. Though reeonciled to the
divine will, yet his yearning heart
could not help longing for sound
of that voice or a tonch of that
hand.
