LAND FOR A STATE PARK.
Tract of 1000 Acres Is Acquired at
Cost of 100000.

The first Wisconsin State Park is
practically a reality. The deal for the
purchase by the state of 1000 acres in
Door county will be consummated
soon in Sturgeon Bay Gov David
son has given his written approval of
the project and the park commission
ers, after spending two weeks investi-
eating, have given instructions to At
torney General Gilbert to close the
purchase for the state. The state has
options ON most of the property desir-
ed and has started condemnation pro-
ceedinss to acquire three portions of
land that it cannot buy in the ordin-
airy way. Two of the latter are on
the main land and the third is Eagle
island, off Ephraim The park commits
sioners desire to add this pretty
island, which has perfect natural
harbor, horseshoe in shape, to the
state park. The new park will consist
of 1000 acres and will cost about $780,
900. 1t includes practically all of the
shore between Fish Greek and
Ephraim. Most of this shore is high
and rugged, with the exception of the
portion near Fish Creek, where there
is fine beach. Included in the state
park will be the slightly Eagle bluff.
which rises sheer from the water near
ly 200 feet. In the face of the bluff
is cave which has been a rendezvous
for sightseers for years. Shanty bay
is also part of the park. AS soon as
the purchase is concluded, the i'm
provement of the new park will be-
gin. Men who ought to know be-
lieve that Wisconsin will in time have
state park equaling and surprising
in some features, Mackinac island, the
famous Michigan state park Starting
with the bluff at Fish Creek, nearly
300 feet high, it swings northward IT.
regularly until it reaches Ephraim,
Limestone bluffs, covered with shaggy
evergreens, constitute most of the
shore line. From Green Bay, the park
is very imposing and slightly, and the
many surrounding islands and pretty
inlets make it an ideal place for
park. Back of the shore are some
very fine drives, and it is predicted
that it will be a great rendezvous for
motor cars in time. The Door county
region is at present very popular
summer resort for people from south
ern Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and
Kentucky, and there are numerous
summer hotels at different points
along the shore.

FIGHT BIG MARSH FIRE.
Blaze Near Neshkoro Threatens to
Wipe Out Existence for Livestock.

Blaze Near NeshkOrO Threatens to
Wipe Out Existence for Livestock.
Fire broke out in the large marsh
east of Neshkoro, and ragged fiercely.
1t was started through carelessness of
farmers burning brush. The march
contains about $500 acres and all of
this was endangered. About $4,000
worth of property has already been de-
stroyed and many thousand dollars
more is still in danger. About 800 men,
women and children turned out to
fight the flames. Everything was dry
and the men were forced to dig wells
to get water to throw on the flames.
The march is covered with growth
of grass and moss about two feet in
thickness and the fire crept along the
ground under this All the crops are
reported poor in that section of the
State and the marsh fire is wiping out
all of the existence for the farmers
stock.

WIND TO MAKE ELECTRICITY.

ufacture of an invention which,
through wind power, will generate
electricity for lighting purposes on the
farm, besides generating enough pow
er to run the farmers machinery.
The company is capitalized at $780,
900, and the factory will be located
on the LANCE Canning Company's big
farm on Truax Prairie, just outside
the city By this invention, which
was devised by F. S. Culver, one of
the incorporators, electricity is gener-
ated from windmill by wind power
for use in storage batteries sufficiently
large to store enough electricity for
use when the wind is not strong
enough to operate the windmill. The
mechanical parts of the machine work
automatically and need no attention
whatever.

Glandumr Fever.


This is the name Of an acute febrile
disease in childhood, one of the group
to which belongs scarlet fever, measles
and mumps. 1t differs from measles
and other eruptive fevers in that there
is no rash, the local manifestation be-
ing a swelling of the glands in the
neck, about and below the angle Of
the jaw.
The disease is not of common occur
renee; and this is rather curious, for
1t seems to be eminently contagious,
all the members of the household at
affected when once the fever gets into
a house. Children are the ones who
suffer chiefly, infants in arms or very
young children. Adults or those above
10 years are not often attacked.
The attack begins suddenly, usually
a week or less after exposure to the
contagion, with fever, sickness at the
stomach or actual vomiting, coated
tongue, constipation and stiff neck.
The appetite is gone and swallowing
is painful. Any attempt to move the
child's head causes pain and is strong
ly resisted. Pressure on the side of
the neck from the angle of the jaw
to the Adams apple is usually also
painful.
The fever rises gradually for two
or three days. reaching it's highest
point about the third day. At this
time also the enlargement of the
glands of the neck becomes manifest
TO sight and touch.
The enlargement may be on both
sides, but appears more often, per-
haps, on the left side first, runs its
course there and then begins on the
right 1t is usually also more severe
on the left side.
The disease lasts week or ten days
as rule but may be prolonged to
two weeks by successive crops Of
glandular engagements.
There is no real eruption. although
sometimes the flush of the fever NAV
take on a dusky red hue and simulate
rash.
The fever continues so long as the
swelling of the glands persists, and
after its subsistence the little patient
is usually weak and pale for a time
Glandular fever is almost never IA
tai. but 1t may make the child pretty
sick while 1t lasts. The treatment is
simple The patient should be kept
in bed in well ventilated room as
long as the fever lasts; and when
the disease is over he will need good
food, lots of fresh air and possibly
tonic to overcome the anemia and
debility Youths Companion.

Considerably depleted in ranks will
be the forces of the regular army en-
camped near Sparta when the different
batteries move to their several home
stations, if the threats o. La Crosse
authorizes are carried out. The first
blow fell on the head of a soldier Tues
day night. and it is announced that
more are to follow. La Crosse is the
rendezvous of practically all the men
in camp when off duty. Sparta, where
the soldiers are encamped, is no longer
strictly dry town, but it is the next
thing to it in the opinion of the sol
diers and they swarm to La Crosse a
hundred or more at time. Many of
them, 1t is claimed, are gay Lotharios
and great havoc has been created in
that part of feminine La Crosse suscep-
tible to the influence of brass buttons.
Recent complains have been numerous
that soldiers have relieved young wom-
en- OF jewelry and even pocketbooks in
some cases. 1t has been found that
girls, believing too implicitly in their
soldier lovers, have entrusted their
valuables to them and have failed to
see men or jewelry again.

BUNco GAME IN BEAVER DAM.
Junk Dealer Buys $1,150 Cfty's
Stone Crusher for $12.

Junk Dealer Buys $1,15O Cfty's
Stone Crusher for $12.
The next time A. Mandelbaum, a
Beaver Dam junk dealer, goes to Mil
waukee he may be in the market to
buy the city hall or the federal build
ing. Not that he believes that those
buildings are ready for the junk pile,
sales. Mandelbaum was made the in
nocent victim of a bargain sale IN
Beaver Dam, and the man who turned
the trick is said to have been negotia-
ting with him for the sale of the
Northwestern station there for s1.99.
The truth about the last transaction,
however, has not been made known.
1t all happened when Mandelbaum be-
gan discussing the merits of the city's
stone crusher with August Terchmil-
Ter. Mandelbaum declared he thought
the crusher was about ready for the
junk pile and Terchmiller upheld him.
Terchmiller, however, intimated that
the crusher belonged to him and i'm
mediately opened negotiations for its
sale to the junk man. There were sew
eral minutes of wrangling and then
both came to terms. 1t was agreed
that the crusher should go for $12.
1t cost 81, 100 when new and Terchmil-
Ter was not slow in estimating the de-
probation. The city, however, values
the outfit at 5000. The sale was made
public at a meeting of the Board of
Control, when Mandelbaum was asked
to give back the crusher to the city.
He explained how he had been vic
timized and it is probable that some
action will be started against Terch-
miller to recover the $12.
