SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep
Scratched Constantly.
cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven.

when about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first noticed
was little red surface and constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. l had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment Then 1 bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

Six Counties Lose Members.

By vote of 81 to 8, the senate pass
ed the legislative apportionment bill.
The eight senators voting against it
were those whose districts each lost
a member. The house will reach the
bill in a few days. Counties which
lose a member each are: Jefferson,
Learenworth, Brown, Usage, Bourbon
and Franklin. The counties which are
given the six representatives are: AL
len, Norton, Stanton, Seward, Haskell
and Greeley.
This switching of representatives
will have some bearing on the United
States senatorial contests in the fu-
ture. 1t will give the candidate who is
strong in western Kansas an advant-
age of five votes.

This was the question that l had

dreamed of Ysonde and the glade in
the woods, where, at the bottom of
the crystal fountain, l saw the reflec-

while bathing and dressing had been
persuading myself that the dream was
not worth recounting and that a
search for the glade and the imagin-
airy stone carving would be ridiculous.
But now, as Barris asked the ques-
ton, l suddenly decided to tell him
the whole story.
"See here, you fellows" said alb

thing queer. You can laugh as much
as you please, too, but first l want to

IS DOING BIG WORK
Wisconsin Historical Commission
Gathering Documents of
Very Great Interest
RANKS ARE BEING DEPLETED

That the creation of the Wisconsin
History Commission at the last SEES
sion of the legislature for the purpose
of gathering original documents, man
uscripts and letters Of private soldiers
from Wisconsin in the Civil war, is
doing a great service to the state is
the opinion of Assemblyman G. E. Els
tabrook Of Milwaukee. These docu-
mentary accounts are being published
in book form. The first original paper
was by the late Col. W. F. Villas of
Madison on the Vicksburg Cam
paign."
If the people Of Wisconsin are to
preserve this valuable historical ma
terial of the man who carried the mus
ket, in the Civil war we must gather
it quickly" said Assemblyman Esta-
brook "The ranks are being fast de
pleted and within the next five years
nearly all will be gone. We have his
tories and accounts of what the gen
erals did in the various campaigns OF
the Civil war, but little of the man
with musket. What wouldn It the
people of the nation give if we only
had an account Of the private soldier
in the Revolutionary war.
s. Every day l am receiving from
soldiers in all sections Of the state
letters written during the Civil wal
and some of them are even sending
accounts in diary form. All Of these
will be published and the original
manuscripts later placed in the State
Historical library. Although many OF
these documents have been received
we gro attempting to gather as many
as possible from soldiers who partici
pated in the various campaigns that
the activity of Wisconsin soldiers in
this. struggle may be historically com
plete. [ wish all Of the soldiers would
write their accounts and send them to
me. -
The Wisconsin History Commission
was organized in 1905 and is composed
Of five members, four of whom act in
an ex-oficio capacity. Assemblyman
Estabrook is chairman and the other
members are Gov. Davidson, Dr. r. G.
Thwaites, H. E. Legler, secretary of
the Free Library Commission and Prof
F. J. Turner, head Of the department

TO CHAMP|0 CAUSE
Assemb|yman Hamper Will Fight
for Woman's Suffrage Bill
in the Assembly
TEST ABILITY AS AN ORATOR

John I'll. Hamper is the champion of
woman s suffrage in the lower house
of the state legislature and when the
Stout woman's suffrage bill comes up
in the assembly it is beIIeved that Mr..
Hamper, assemblyman from the second
district of Racine county and chair
man Of the County Board Of Supervi-
sors will defend the interests of the
women. Mr.. Hamper has intimated
that he is interested in the passage
Of the measure, and that he will fight
for it. So far Mr.. Hamper has not
held the floor on important legisla-
ton and his ability as an orator still
is to be put to the test.
The women of Kenosha county and
of the state who have been signing
petitions for the woman s suffrage bill
now greet Mr.. Hamper as their cham
pion.
The Stout bill gives to every woman
in the state over 81 years of age the
right to vote at all state elections
and "all laws in conflict herewith are
repealed. - The usual exceptions are
made in the case Of paupers
criminals, etc.
Of the vote by the people on grant
ing this privilege to Wisconsin women
the bill of Senator Stout says:
At the general election to be held
in November, 1910, the question
whether this act shall go into effect OF
in any manner be in force shall be
submitted to the people, and if the
same shall be approved by a majority
of the votes cast ON that subject, it
shall go into effect and go into force
from and after the date Of said cleo
ton.
The ballot in November, 1910, there
fore will include the legends "Fo1
woman's suffrage" and against
woman IS suffrage" and if enough vot-
ers express themselves in the afirma-
tive the fair sex Of Wisconsin will
take it's place with the stronger sex.

FIGHT ON ROAD WORK
Pleasant 13rairie to Have Two Tickets
in Field at Election on Tuesday

Pleasant Prairie is to have an in
teresting town election tomorrow and
two tickets have been placed in the
field. Evan Powell leads the regular
ticket and Thomas Riley the second
ticket. The only difference in the
tickets is the candidate for town
chairman and it is said that the real
fight is in regard to the continuance
of the road building in the town. The
people living in the eastern end Of the
town who are in favor of continuing
the improvement of the highways as
started last year under the direction
of the state highway department are
backing the candidacy Of Riley, while
the people in the western end of the
town are favorable to the candidacy
of Powell, who is in favor of the
former methods Of highway work. 1t
is expected that the struggle will
bring out one Of the largest, if not
the largest, vote ever polled by the
voters Of the town.
