LOSESH|S
RIGHT HAND
Rhineiander Man Suffers Dis
tressing Accident while at
Work in Paper Mil! in That
City.

J. Russ, an employe of the
Rhinelander Paper Company. was
the victim of a most distressing &C
cident while at work in the mill,
Monday afternoon. In operating the
big power paper cutting machine,
known as the reamer, he lost his
right hand.
The machine is controlled by a
lever which lowers the knife at the
will of the operator. The knife, af-
ter ascending, locks itself automatic
ally and remains stationary until the
lever is again touched. Mr.. Russ
was cutting a feam of paper and
when the knife moved upward he
reached under to adjust the ream.

DEATH OF MRS.

Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes, who has
been residing at the home of her a.
dopted daughter, Mrs. Eliza LaVigne,
in this city died Friday night of old
age. She has been in poor health
for several years and at her advanc-
ed age, it was impossible to siye her
any relief. Everything known to the
medical profession and the best OF
nursing. was all OF no avail. Mrs.
Holmes was born IN Dublin, ireland,
on June %, 1928 and was therefore
81 years, months and 6 days of age
when she passed away. She was
kind Christian woman and beloved
by all those who had the pleasure of
her acquaintance. The funeral SER
vice took place Monday morn

PARTY FAILURES.

The statement credited to Sena-
government of the United States
for 500, 000, 900 less than it costs
the government to do it, is a con-
fession of failure on the part of the
Republican party. If extravaganza
prevails in government affairs it
is surely the fault of the party in
power. During a long period OF
years the Republican party has
been in the saddle and has had the
unrestrained control Of affairs
That expenses have increased fast
er than the population and that
the cost Of living is constantly and
rapidly rising, that the power of
the monopolies is growing greater
and the concentration of wealth in
the hands of the few is steadily go
ing ON, is a sad truth that the Re-
publican party must face squarely.
But it is folly to believe that re-
lief can be obtained through the
Democratic party. It is well
known fact that the forces which
control one party control the other.
The Republican party is today a
party divided against itself and
Scripture says that "a house oil
vided against itself cannot stand"
If we read the signs of the times
Alright ere is dissatisfaction at
the way both parties are managed
and a movement is On foot which
indicataes that one of two things is
likely to happen. Either the an
surgent Republicans Will form
new party and gather into it indie
pendent and dissatisfied Demo
Gratis, or the insurgents will capture
and control the Republican organh-
cation, throwing out Cannon and
Aidrich and others of the old time
leaders of their type.
Both parties are today controlled
by the so called business interests,
whose ideas are entirely at Eari-
ance with the rank and file Of the
people,
The high cost of living has set
the people to thinking and men
who have previously taken little
interests in politics are today care
fully studying the situation and
their minds are prepared to accept
new party affiliations whenever an
intelligent program is presented in
forceful way
The above, from late issue Of the
Courier a staunch republican pa
per of Wareham, Mass, expresses
the unbiased judgement of independ-
ent thinkers in both the political par
ties from Massachusetts, to California
The Stalwasts of both parties are
in control of the Nation and of most
OF the States, and sre recognized
as the plant tools of large interests.
The voice OF the insurgents is heard
in the land and the people are Fis-
ing to their support. Cannon andiI
AldFich and the money power that
they represent must go away back
and sit down" for the people viii be /
heard from in the coming election.

WHO WILL BE MAYOR?

Thus far we understand nomina-
ton papers are being circulated for
the following candidates. Fred H.
Jackson, Clark Lyons, and w. E.
Wheehn. There may be others. The
three cornered contest will certainly
result in the election Of Mr.. Wheelan
If there were only two candidates, the
contest would be closer. Messrs-
Jackson and Lyons will draw from
each other and thereby weaken each
other in the contest. w. E. Wheelan
attorney-at-law, has already served
the city two terms and has always
been popular candidate. In the
present three cornered fight it is
generally conceded that he will be
elected. He is considered very Eber-
al in his administration and will be
particularly satisfactory to the la
boring men and saloon interests and
is reported to be in favor of a wide
open progressive policy in his adj
ministration of city affairs. This
kind of an administration appears to
be the kind that the majority of the
citizens and tax payers Of Grand
Rapids wants and we of course al
ways believe that the majority should
rule and have the kind of admins
tration they want and prefer. We
therefore acquiesce to the majority's
sentiment.

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP

II write to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
l took care of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. l used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
Is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. MY
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about IS months old.
"She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds of
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

Lyonnaise Potatoes,

Take one pint of cold potatoes; one

spoonful of minced onion; one table,
spoonful of chopped parsley; salt and

be rather undone to produce the best

son with salt and pepper. Fry the
onion in the butter until yellow, add
the potato, and stir with a fork until
both sides are of nice brown, being
careful not to break the potatoes. A
little more butter may be required,
as no vegetables absorb SO much but
ter as potatoes. When done, turn the
potatoes out upon hot dish,

.SaQp Puddinus.

With Apples.-Wash thoroughly one
cup of sage, put in double boiler with
one quart of cold water. Cook over
slow fire until clear. Have ready pared
and cored whole enough apples to
stand closely in bottom of pudding
dish. Their size will regulate number;
and fill apples where cores were cut
out with white sugar. Can flavor as
desired. A few whole cloves stuck in
apples are nice, but lemon peel, or
orange peel, cut very fine, is nice also.
I use first one favoring, then another.
AS soon as sage is clear pour it over
the apples and bake in quick oven
until the apples are done Serve with
rich cream.
Without Apples.-Prepare sage as
before, using a little less water.
When clear, pour into pudding dish,
and pour on top custard made of
three eggs and pint of rich milk. Bake
slowly until custard is set. This is
best served cold. Makes an excellent
dessert.

"N-no," Karen stammered, watching
Fanny, who, with handglass close to
her eyes, was turning every way be.
fore the big mirror. absorbed in her
reflection.
I'D like to sell you one. This Tus-
can straw, now" Miss Fry lifted it
from the standard and twirled it deft-
~ upon her hand. I'm sure this will
be becoming. Just try it on and step
up to the other glass;"
She preferred the hat and Karen
gasped as she saw the price mark upon
the dangling tag.
"Oh, can't buy such an expensive
hat" she began. Then temptation
seized her. She snatched off her shah
by old toque and set the Tuscan straw
upon her head.
Just as | thought" Miss Fry said,
nodding. And Karen. beholding her
self In the long glass. gasped again.
What had that hat done to her? Why,
she was pretty-ten times prettier
than Fanny! Color sprang to her
cheeks, light to her eyes. Her face
glowed and sparkled. She was radiant
as she turned and met Fanny's stare.
You should buy that hat. Miss
Ives" she said. 1T is just what you
want"
Fanny did not speak. Karen turned
again to the glass. Never in all her
young life had she wanted anything
as she wanted that hat, yet she could
not have it. A hundred reasons why
she could not flashed through her
mind Only that morning her father
had said, sadly:
They are going to cut down the
hours at the factory, daughter, and
we shall have to go little more care
fully if we can. It's hard times. you
know"
Karen knew, and under stress as her
fathers housekeeper and sole helper,
she dealt carefully with the flour bin
and sugar box, trying to spend as lit
tie as she could of the money earned
by such hard labor. 1t was wicked for
her even to want a hat that cost SO
much as this one, yet she loved pretty
things as we'll as did Fanny, who was
INDUCED in them to her hearts con-
tent. And she saw suddenly that she
could look as well in them as Fanny
did. If tomorrow morning she should
60 into the choir wearing this beauti-
full hat and looking as she did now.
Dan Eustace would perhaps see that
she was there, and to have his eyes
upon her in admiration would have
changed the whole world for Karen.
"Well?" Miss Fry prompted.
Karen took off the hat, tenderly, but
resolutely, her face dimming with in
ward struggle.
Il can't take it," she said, firmly,
"because-T can't afford it," She laid
the hat upon the counter and resumed
her tolue, iabbing in the hat pins with
unnecessary violence II she had
pinned the toque to her scalp instead
of her hair she would not just tnen
have felt it. In giving up the tuscan
straw it came to her that she was CIV

Karen could not have the hat, for she
