on Saturday last, fined the Wisconsin

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists

termines it's iuration, seems to he be-
tween 50 and 60; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot he too

An exchange has compiled the figures
which tell that in the last twenty-five
years, nearly 1000, 600 employees have
gone on strike, the strikes averaging
twenty days duration each, max
ing a total loss of ITS, 900, 600 days
labor, which at 50 day would amount
to $3.50, 900, 0eS. This is the direct loss
in wages, but it is estimated that losses
in other directions, due to the failure
to cary on productive industries and to
the indirect effect on other occupations,
would be not less than four times the
direct loss to strikers.

The state railroad commission has an
nouneed reduction in freight on live
stock and other farm commodities in
Wisconsin. And this in the face of the
threatened rebellion and rise in freight
rates announced by the Milwaukee daily
papers, because of the two-cent pas
senger fare law. What a ridiculous
spectacle the Milwaukee papers have
made of themselves in the eyes of Wis
consin people, The facts of the order
are given on an inside page of today 5

our citizens the same treatment ac-

THE USEFUL PLouGH-AN OLD SONG.

A country life is sweet

To walk in the air. how pleasant and fairi

The fairest of flowers adjoining the bowers
And every meadows brow:
So that say no eourtier may

And follow the useful plough
They rise with the morning lark
And labor till almost dark;
Then. folding their sheep. they hasten to sleep
While every pleasant park
Next morning is ringing with birds that are

On each green. tender bough.
With what content and merriment
Their days spent, whose minds are bent
To follow the useful ploughi

A special session of the county board
was held in Juneau for the purpose of
making provisions to assist the cyclone
sufferers. Favorable action was not
taken, however, by making appropria-
tions to that end. There has been great
financial loss elsewhere in the state
within the past month. Many homes
have been made desolate in the loss of
property, and a number of lives have
been sacrificed.
