Miss Sadie Rogers, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. f. Rogers, Sr. of this
city, just graduated from the Stevens
Point normal school with honors, hav-
ing completed the two years cours e
three months in advance of the regular
class. Immediately Miss Rogers was
assigned to responsible position on
the teaching force of the Oak Park,
Illinois, schools, where she commenced
work on Monday.
The death of old of the oldest prac-
ticing physicians of the county is re-
ported from Bloomingdale, where. at
his residence, on Saturday last, DR..
Andrew Jackson Lewis died from can
Ger of the stomach, after long and pain
full suffering, leaving wife and five
sons. DR.. Lewis came to the county
thirty-three years ago from Indiana.
He was born there in 1897, serving the
country in time of war with an Indiana
regiment. Funeral was largely attend
I'd at Bloomingdale on Monday, conduct
ed by Rev. Haskell. DR.. Lewis was a
well informed man, one who made and
retained friends.
Michael Rentz, who was in from
Esofea on Monday, informed the CEN
SoR that his hamlet is to establish a
first-class creamery, articles of incorpo-
ration having been r led with capital
stock of $4,000 at $40 per share. A
meeting will be held at Esofea next
Saturday to elect officers and transact
such business as is necessary to prompt
ly equip and open the new institution.
1t is desired that all persons interested
ir the project be present. Mr.. Rentz
says that within a radius of two and
one-haf miles of Esofea there are
!, 900 cows, and that more than 400 have
been pledged for service in the cream
cry.
The approaching city election to oc-
cur next Tuesday, promises to be a
quiet affair notwithstanding that there
are candidates to contest for every
place to be filled. The only issue will
be that of license or no-license, and the
lines are being closely drawn and the
vote canvassed in advance. The inn
preston prevails that no-license has
been so well observed during the past
year that there is no occasion for
change to open saloons. Powerful ar
guments have been presented in public
meetings and otherwise directed against
the liquor traffic and its evil effects
upon a community and individuals The
CENSOR has never been an advocate of
saloons; it is not today.

Respect For Funerals,

A French friend of mine who has
been staying in Glasgow for a short
time is amazed not to say shocked, at
the Indifference OF the crowd during
the passing of funeral They dc
things differently in France Even in
the crowded streets of Paris every one
lifts his hat or cap at the sight of a
funeral; in many cases the onlooker
stands bareheaded till the cortege has
aled past slowly. My French friend
assures me that in some parts of his
country one would run the risk of al.
most being assaulted If the obeisance
were neglected News.

Diseases OF the Chest. Throat. Liver

pAnyina SYN ptoms.

DIR. F. B. Brewer, who has made
regular visits for years, has made it
business of life time to investigate
and study. He has proved that these
diseases even in the stages considered
beyond the ordinary method of treat.
ment. can by a rational ard mild means,
be retarded, arrested 0r permanently
cured. Few physicians have the opor-
tunity that DR. Brewer has had in in
vestigating and examining the various
forms of this class of diseases. The
fact of his practice being constantly on
the increase, goes toprove the efficiency
of his treatment. His reputation and
success becoming so extended, the num-
Der of years that he has enjoyed it, his
devotion TO the pursuits and studies of
his profession, is one of the strongest
and most competent testimonials that
can be given him. DIR. Brewers next
