SEEK tURER MILK SUPPLY.

A movement to secure purer supply
of milk for the people Of the city was
inaugurated last week and mass meet
ing has been called by the city council
for tonight at the court house at which
the matter will be discussed and plans
devised to procure the desired results.
This action was taken by the council
at the suggestion of City Health Officer
Meany, who with Dairy and Food In
spector A. E. Aderholt of Neenah ad-
dressed the city fathers at their meeting
last Thursday evening
The agitation is partly the result Of
certain conditions apparently existing
here which seems to render impossible
the securing of convictions in cases
where the Dairy and Food laws are al
legged to have been violated. Three such
cases have been tried in the local courts
here and each resulted in the acquittal
of the defendant The people Of the city
who are dependent on local milk dealers
demand and feel that they have a right
to expect that milk sold shall be free
from impurities.

The Way to the Station.

A party of automobilists was tour.

the car forced them to take a train
home. AS they walked down the road
seeking some one from whom they
could inquire their way, they met an
old darky.
"Will you kindly direct us to the
railroad station?" one Of the party
asked.
"Certn'y, sir" he responded. Keep
agoin' right down dis road till yo'

The ONE YEARS DEAD LINE.

According to the new ruling of the
postmaster general which took effect
April 1, 1908, a weekly paper is no long
er mailable at the second class rate to a
subscriber one year or more in arrears.
The PILOT desires to comply with the
law aud asks the cooperation of it's sub
scribers. To insure the future delivery
of the paper to your address, see that
your subscription does not run over the
dead line. Look at the date after your
name on the margin of the paper. If il
reads mayor, that means that your
subscription is paid up to May /, 1907,
and that you must pay before May 1,
1908, or your subscription will lapse over
the dead line.

Word Curiosities.

An interesting word group IN which
the entire alphabet is put into seven
words, and only 80 letters are used,
Is: Burst, fed, jingle, quip, vim, hack,
zyxomma" This is the smallest num-
Der of words that the alphabet can be
included in.
Two ineligible sentences, however,
Of eight words and 80 letters apiece
have been found They are:
Quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy dog"
Pack my box with five dozen
liquor jugs"
The first sentence is often used In
testing the types on typewriters, on
account of the shortness and the fact
that 1t includes every letter and has
the advantage OF making sense.-New
York Press.

HAzY AS TO THE CHAUTAUQUA.
May Be Doubted Whether Country
Visitor Was of a Serious Mind.

Down in Georgia the citizens of q
thriving town of about 5000 people ar
ranged for Chautauqua assembly
last summer. They held the meetings
In big tent about mile from the
town, and the attendance was large
from the first day. An enterprising
circus man heard of the large crowds,
and landed in the town on the second
day of the Chautauqua with a steam
merry-go-round, which he located about
halfway between the town and the
Chautauqua grounds.
Along in the afternoon young man
from the country districts was ac-
costed by citizen of the town.
We'll, Ezry, suppose you are in to
the Chautauqua."
II shore am. Just come from thar
now"
How'd you like IT." asked the
townsman.

HEARING ON WATER
WORKS COMPLETED.

On Wednesday of last week the final
session of the hearing on the question of
the valuation of the local waterworks
plant occurred before the Railroad Rate
Commission at Madison. The city was
represented at the hearing by Ciry AT.
torney Hougen and Malcolm G. Jeffries
of GAINESVILLE appeared for the water
company. The contention advanced
on the part of the city was to the effect
that no amount whatever should be add.
ed to the physical valuation of the plant
for going value. The company contend
ed that an amount equal to % per cent
of the physical value of the plant should
be added for going value, and that the
final valuation as fixed by the commits
sion should be $3.50 600. The physical
value as fixed by the engineers who ap-
praised the plant was 1918, 600.
Special interest attaches to this case
because it is the first Of its kind to be
taken up by the rate commission, and
Uuc Ciculcut VI SOluS Ndiuo 40 ohO 'A"o
has not been passed upon by the courts
of this state in any proceeding that has
come before them thus far. The prob
lem of establishing and fixing al a.
mount for going value has however been
before boards of appraisal and courts in
other states and the commission will
not be wholly without precedent to aid
it in arriving at its conclusions.
The outcome of the case is awaited
with considerable interest as the conclu-
sions reached in this matter will un.
doubtedly have much bearing on the
disposal of similar proceedings brought
before the commission by various other
cities.
1t is not probable that decision will
be handed down for several weeks.
