SOCIETY

A delightful afternoon was enioyed
by fortvtive ladies Wednesday after
noon, Sept. 1St at the home of Mrs
Geo. W. Mead. This was the annual
Thankoffering meeting of the Mission
airy Society of the Congregational
Church. The program was one of the
most enjoyable ones given by this
society. Rev. Staff's address brought
his audience into close touch with the
work Of Missions in Foreign lands,
as we'll as outlining the work of Mis-
sIons in our own state of Wisconsin.
His talk was enthusiastically listened
to. Several excellent musical and
vocal selections were rendered by
Miss Natwick, Miss Eggert, Miss

excellent manner. A delightful
little Thankoffering story was read by
Mrs. Louis Reichel. After the pro-

A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL

The annual catalogue of the Con-
gregational Bible School which was
published a year ago is attracting
wide attention in this state and in
other states. In the September is
sue of The Sunday School Executive,
which is published in Chicago, a full
page is devoted to the reprints of
six pictures found in the catalogue
together with most complimentary
write up of the school. AS a result
requests have been received to send
the catalogue to places in Califor-
MIA, West Virginia, Illinois, and
other states. The catalogue aroused
great deal of school spirit in the
Sunday School at the time of it's
publication and repaid the school
many times over for the money ex~
pended.
Even in church matters it pays to
advertise.

NOW is THE TIME TO
PLACE THE JOKE

There's a new game called "Tic-
kle the Editor says an exchange.
You take an ordinary sheet of writ
ing paper on which you pen a few
lines suitable for the occasion. Next
you fold it carefully enclosing in the
fold a bank note sufficient to pay
all arrearages and a year in advance,
and hand it to the editor. Keep an
eye on him and if a smile adorns
his face the trick works fine. 1t can
also be played by mail. Now is. the
time to play the joke.

there and see the favorable changes
that have taken place since the

New depot buildings have been
erected, the public school building
enlarged TO double IT'S capacity; the
only hotel has been enlarged and i'm
proved and several new store buildings
and a large number of new dwellings.
The entire village is painted white
and justly derives it's name 1.-THE
White City" from this fact. The
great improvements noticeable on every
hand is creditable and su rprising to
the visitor. They enjoy the benefits
of electric lights, water and sewer
age, cement walks and is thorough
ly up-to-date and prosperous little
village. Messrs. L. NJ. Alexander
and Geo. F. Steel heavy stockholders
in the paper mill and sulphite plant
are principally entitled to the credit
for these changes. The Nekoosa
Edwards Paper Company have beauti-
full Office buildings and grounds in
which the employees and officers of the
company have elegant and commodi-
Gus quarters. We know Of no village
in the state of Wisconsin that leaves

CARRYING OF CONCEALED FIRE ARMS.

THERE meauure that would like to see
introduced and become law in Ohio, and that is
prohbitive to prevent the carrying of con-
ceaed weapons in the way of fire arm; a law that
would make the carrying of fire concealed, a
felony, punishable by good stiff sentence in the
Penitentiary. There are more people killed by the
promiscuous carrying of fire than by any other
means OF defense of aggression The weak law that
makes the carrying of concealed fire arms a msde
meanor punishable by fine, is only joke and does
not prevent the other felcw from going right along
with his pockets bulging out with the dangerous
weapon. law could be so constructed that if
person wishes to carry fire he must make an
oath before Prob ate Common Pleas court that he
is in danger of great bodily harm and feels the ne
cessity of carrying fire arm for the purpose Of self
protection; thus he may get permit to do so and
any officer may file his application and get such
permit, that the person that is entitled to carry
gun easily get the necessary permit. The per-
son that is not entitled to carry such weapon hav.
ing the penitentiary staring him in the face if he
does such, is not going be free in his habit of
'packing gun" and flashing it in all occasions.
Another provision of the law should be that the
salesman of the fire should be compelled to keep
a record of the fire sold by him and to whom,
and those records made public to the Probate Court
every three months. A strict law and precauton
against the carrying of concealed fire arms will save
lives in year than the strict safety appliances
on the rail road train,

PROPOSED LIQUOR RESTRICTIONS.

We received letter last week from the Liberal
League of Akron Ohio with enclosed copy of the
liquor legislation proposed by that organization, for
the operation of that business in Ohio The
laws laid down by the proposed statute certainly
strong enough, and had they been in force many
years ago, they would have prevented the lawful
dry spell'' that has overtaken the past year.
The liberal citizens of Logan and every other town
doubt in the state, talked and coaxed at of
the saloon men, mploting them to obey the laws and
be good, thus keeping down aggitation, but they
would not do it, and the people up in their
wrath and almost wiped them off the face of the
state. There is not a saloon man or a sympathizer
in the state but that knows that it their
fault that they in the predcameut that they
now placed. They simply would not be good, and

warm AND DRY
TO STAY WELL

Now is the time when the doctor
gets busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest,
unless great care is taken to dress
warmly and keep the feet dry.
This is the advice of an old emf
nent authority, who says that
Rheumatism and Kidney trouble
weather is here, and also tells
what to do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription
pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce
Compound Kargon, three ounces
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla
MIX by shaking in bottle and
take teaspoonful after meals and
at bedtime.
Just try this simple homemade
mixture at the first sign of Rheu-
matism, or if your back aches or
you feel that the kidneys are not
acting just right. This is said to
be splendid kidney regulator,
and almost certain remedy for all
forms of Rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood,
which the kidneys fail to filter
out. Any one can easily prepare
this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vi
cinity, when shown the prescrlp-
tion, stated that they can either
supply these ingredients, or, if our
readers prefer, they will compound
the mixture for them. Jan. IA.

Mrs. Gertrude Nelson, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. c.. B. Allen, was

Vile, Ohio.
She was united in marriage to
Mr.. Wilbert Nelson Dec. 81, 1900.
After short illness she departed
from this life Jan. Z, 1909, leaving
beloved husband, three small
children, father, one brother and
five sisters, her mother and one
sister having proceeded her to the
Spirit World.
She was converted and joined the
Methodist church at an early age.
She was kind patient mother,
loving neighbor and friend to all.
Her loss will be greatly felt by all
who knew her.
But we must not mourn for her as dead,
For the broken links that draw us up
ward to JOY and Heaven.
Life is uncertain, death is sure,
It's proven by this silent form,
a few short years we here endure,
And then we mount above life's storm,
This silent form is but the clay,
The house where once did Gertie dwell
Tis' vacant now and must decay,
But she's with God, where all Is WE'LL

We know she was prepared to die,
And though 1t seemeth hard to part,

o'clock in the morning and almost
in an instant the derrick and four
tanks were in flames. The tanks
contained 500 bbs. Of oil. The
loss will reach 1900 or more
The dense cloud of black smoke

Nobody was at the well when it
caught on fire, but it is believed d
that sparks from the east bound

oil, new tanks were taken to the

that business is getting better in our town, that
labor is being employed, and that are going on

there is an economical that has struck this

The spendthrft of today is rare rather than common
in the days of the past and the saving associations
that are coming up among us are among the best
enterprises for community, For to save their
money and buy the necessities of life at the stores
and put some away for future use is far better for
the individual and much better for the merchant.
Young men and young women should early cultivate
the spirit OF economy, and save little every day.
But two dollars week put away, will amount to

all Logan people should cultivate and that is the
spirit of buying at home. The largest payer in
our town s the merchant, and it is he than an
other who keeps up the schools of our town TO edu-

should patronize and encourage in business And
