 Earlier glacial outlets farther west are clearly traceable from Green Bay into the Fox river and from the west ern end of Lake Superior at Duluth through the Chippewa river into the Mississippi, little way below St. Paul.

With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with d
medicine which he says proves this
theory, l.. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm

a source of great amusement. not only

There is no per diem connected with
legislative service at Springfield at

which went into trance in May has
been spent. Heretofore it has not been

It certainly is easy to be an or

to do; no platforms to write; no
Investigations into the characters
of candidates to make, nothing
in the wide world to do except
what the bosses suggest. Such
a simple life and the average re-
publican, especially in Hender-
son county, just likes to be boss
ed any way. With democrats it
is different. They have to con-
suit the folks before making
nominations, or writing plat
forms. Bossism doesn't appeal
to them. They like independ-
ence.

Everybody knows that if the

fortune befall it of electing him,
Mr.. Grant would vote to keep
the people under the heel of the
trusts, and against the income
tax on the wealth of the trust
magnates and to keep high taxes
on the necessaries of life of the
common people. Then would he
earn his salary? The trusts
would say, yes" to be sure.
And everybody knows that
Mr.. Crawford would vote to
suppress the trusts and reduce
the tariff to a revenue basis, in.
the interest of the people, And
he would vote to levy a tax on
the incomes of the rich who have
been the benefciaries Of the
tariff and trusts. Then would
Crawford earn his salary? The
people will answer, yes on the

tariff robbery and trustrascality,

put any organization out of bust

republican prosperity to talk
about this year. But, as tie

their bed and must lie on it; the

to permit them to lie out of it."
