Walter Scotch of Detroit and II.
Friedman of Cincinnati have been in
the state during the week.
A. Wallach of Chicago, has rented
the old pottery warehouse where he
will handle small packing of the new
crop.
After a continuous run of fourteen
weeks the United Cigar Manufacturers
Co. will finish their packing of the 1908
crop at each of the six warehouses in
the state this week. Their packing
points are Edgerton, Orfordville, Lodi,
Portage, Westby and Cashton. Some
thing over $4,000 cases of grades have
been packed, larger amount than the
firm ever before handled of Wisconsin
leaf. The labor account for the differ
ent points reaches we'll towards 500, 600
in addition to the first cost of the to-
bacco.

The Spring Election.

More than usual interest will be taken
IN the spring election this year, on ac-
count of the several important positions
TO be filled, and the number of votes
cast should be much greater than COM
monty. The offices to be filled, aside
from the various town, county and vii
age offices, are justice of the supreme
court, county judge, state superinten-
dent of schools and county superinten-
dent.
For justice of the supreme court
there is only one candidate = John
Barnes, who was elected last year and
comes up for reelection.
For county Judge there is no opposi-
ton to the reelection of Judge John
w. Sale whose term expires.
For state superintendent of schools
there are three candidates Mr.. Carey,
the present incumbent who has held
the Office six years, Prof. L. w. Wood
of Neillsville, and J. T. Hooper of Ash
land. Of these three, the candidacy of
Mr.. Wood seems to be meeting with
the greatest favor in the agricultural
counties. In these counties the COM
mon school question is fast becoming
paramount issue and Mr.. Woods ex-
tensive experience as rural school in
spector and his advocacy of improve
ment of rural schools is making him
formidable candidate.
Owing to the consolidation of the
county superintendent districts, there
will be but one official to elect for that
position. Mr.. Hemingway of the first
district is not a candidate, but o. D.
Antisdel of the second district is can
didate and is making canvass of the
district. We understand Mr.. Archie
Eddy of the Beloit schools will also be
in the field.
So far but little stir has developed in
municipal politics. The positions of
aldermen and supervisors are to be
filled, generally quite undesirable, es-
pecially that of alderman, and it is sell
dom that any citizen announces himself
as candidate But it is necessary
that the sacrifice be made by some one
and doubtless nominations will be made
by petition for these Offices.

The 1.-TWO Orphans will be the at
traction at Royal hall, Wednesday even
ing, March a. 1t is an old favorite
coming with the especial attraction of
new and careful production by Man
ager Fred G.. Conrad, well known
through his ownership and DIRECTION of
several other successful companies. The
popularity of the 1.-TWO Orphans" will
be heightened, it appears, by this pres
entation of it. Mr.. Conrad uses the
only authorized Kate Claston version,
which she used herself and brings an
adequate company with his own seen

The Secret of Till's Plaster Told in
Court.

In dispatch to the Milwaukee SEN
tinel from Barron the secret of the
composition of the ointments and plas-
tiers used by John Till of Almena is out.
In an examination before County Judge
&c. w. Meadows under the discovery
statute in the $25, 900 malpractice suit
instituted by Patrick Sullivan of Mil
waukee, Till stated under oath that his
plasters were composed of tallow and
oleum tiglium, the latter being the
pharmaceutical name for crotOn oil.
When desired in the liquid form for an
ointment, olive oil or linseed oil is sub
stituted for the tallow.
Another ointment is composed of al
cohol, fish oil and ammoniac. The only
instructions given to patients are to use
no Intoxicating liquors, eat nothing sour
and not to wash in cold water.
He further stated that he was not a
doctor but blacksmith; that he had
not gained his knowledge from any doc
tor or medical books to be had in any
medical library; that his diagnosis is
based upon his feeling of the nerves
from the afflicted parts of the body
where they pass through the spinal
cord at the back of the neck; that his
dUIHCy W uldSlOoc CdoCo Ny LhOAOAy
feeling the back of the neck of the pa
tents was born in him and was not
possessed by any other person to his
knowledge; that he was taught to dis
tinguish and cure the several diseases
by another blacksmith in Austria who
treated him when he was youth.
He refused to divulge the proportions
of the several ingredients used, but de-
clared that his system of medical
science is contained in book written
for him by hand by his vulcan precep-
tor. He expressly and emphatically
denied the use of croton oil but named
it under it's pharmaceutical name as one
of his ingredients. He exhibited two
beans, claiming one of them to be
croton bean and the other to be tig-
lium bean and maintained that they
were not the same.

sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find tGrape-Nuts and albu-

freshing'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for favouring. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
