Future Hardwood supply.

Americas future hardwood supply
must come mainly from the Appa-
lachian mountains, according to the
forest service. The other chief cen
tiers of production are now in the lake
states and lower Mississippi valley,
but in the former the presence of hard
woods is an almost certain indication
Of rich SOIL and the tracts once cleared
are turned to agricultural uses. In
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi
the production of hard woods has
reached it's height, and in Missouri
and Texas it has begun to decline.
The Appalachians contain the largest
body of this timber remaining in the
United States, and have the greatest
variety of species. Rightly managed,
their forests would produce 20,000,000,-
900 feet per year, since their soil and
climate combine to make heavy stands
and cause rapid growth. Much of this
area, however, has been so damaged
by fire and cutting that it will be
years before it's 100000 acres are
fully productive.-Leslies Weekly.

THE PURE FOOD LAW.

Secretary Wilson says, "One Of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of chlor-

habit forming drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufac-
turers of Chamberlains Cough Rem
edy have always claimed that their
remedy did not contain any of these
drugs, and the truth Of this claim is
now fully proven, as no mention Of
them is made on the label. This rem
edy is not only one of the safest, but
one Of the best in use for coughs and

PART THREE.

AS the Crane dance was the import

life of the Sauk Indians, the National
dance, which came soon after, wa
the important political feature. In
this warriors were made. The old
braves recounted their adventures in
war, and the young braves told of
their first experiences on the field of
glory. For we must not forget that
there was difference with the Sauks
between a brave and a warrior. All
males Of suitable age, who possessed no
physical disabilities, were braves. Only
those who had killed their men in bat
tie were warriors. Black Hawk, who
wounded an enemy before he was Is
years old, was not brave, and re-
counts in his autobiography that at
Is he was ashamed to look up his more
fortunate fellows when they were al

while he was disabled from even step

soon qualified, for within few months
he went with his father on an expedi-

accommodate this festival large

MORE LIGHT On
SHERIFF MATTER
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.l

The committee on sheriff and sher-
iff's accounts met last evening to con-
slider the matter regarding Dupty Sher-
if J. A. Richards and Sheriff w. w.
Stackhouse in which it was said that
the deputy had allowed the sheriff
the 800 salary connected with his
office provided he receiv the appoint
ment and that he retain the civil fees
as recompense for his services. Mr..
Richards acknowledged the arrange
ment and expressed himself as ready
to straighten the matter out satisfac-
torily. When asked whether he had
notified his deputies to report, the
sheriff could not say that he had. Mr..
Richards brought in report covering
the business of 1907, which, after de-
duct1ng the expenses accounted, show
ed $219 to be turned over to the county.
The feeling of the committee has SEEM
ed to be that the sheriff should settle
up the past accounts as nearly right as
possible, and that from now on a
strict account shou d be rendered in
the manner and at the times provide
by law. The committee is composed
of HI. e. Paddock of LaValle, chair
man; w. q. Pruyn, Greenfield and A.
t. Sprecher, Troy. Those present be-
sides Duputy Sheriff Richards, were
Sheriff w. w. Stackhouse, and G. A.
Clark, chairman of the county board.
The whole matter was brought to the
attention of the committee by Super
visor D. N. Case of BarabOO.

To G. w. GEHRAND, Chairman, and
G.. A. BRIGGS, Secretary, of
Meeting of the citizens of Baraboo,
held Jan. 80, 1908.
Gentlemen:-In reply to your COM
munication formally notifying me of
call from one hundred of my fellow
citizens, to become a non-partisan
candidate for the office of mayor of the
city of Baraboo at the coming city elec-
tion,I will say that accept the call and
hereby become a non-partisan candi-
date for that office.
[ am not seeking the office; but, if
after a residence of fifty years III this
community, the qualified electors and
voters of Baraboo see fit to honor me
by an election to the office of mayor, J.
will serve them to the best of my
ability. 1 appreciate the call more
because it is non-partiSan.
1t is unnecessary for me to say that
L have always been strong partisan
in state and national politics. But
years ago came to the conclusion,
chat the government of city, being
purely a business proposition, party
politics should have no place in its
management; because no one party
contains all the best material needed
for properly conducting the affairs of a
city. That my position may be under
stood, [ will say, that, as all are alike
protected by our laws, all should OBJ
serve and obey them. And if elected
mayor, I will do all in my power to
enforce our laws and ordinances i'm
partially, for the benefit and best in
terests of the people of our city as a
whole.
The people of Baraboo are aware,
that, under our special city charter,
The mayor has less authority, than the
mayor of city under the general law.
The City council, and all good citi-
zens should be willing to cooperate
with the mayor, for good clean eco
nomical administration of ouI city
affairs.
1 have held important county offices,
md also state office, but If the people
of Baraboo shall elect me to the Office
Of mayor, as non-partisan candidate,
1t the coming city election, shall re-
gard it, coming in that way, as the
highest honor that has ever been con-
ierred upon me by my fellow-citizens.
Yours respectfully,
PHILIP CHEEK.
