Railroad Man Writes
Remarkable Letter

In 1903 and 1904, was terrible
sufferer for about five months with
kidney and bladder trouble. I could
not sleep nights and was obliged to
get up ten or fifteen times to urinate.
I passed mucus and blood continually.
One doctor said was going into con-
sumption and gave me up to die. Had
two other doctors but received no
help from either of them and am
sure would have been in my grave
had I not seen your advertisement in
the "Daily Eagle STAR" After TAX
ing several bottles of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root I was entirely cured.
In the last two years I have been
railroad fireman and have passed
two examinations for my kidneys
successfully SO that know that my
kidneys are in excellent condition
now as result of your great prepar-
alton.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE KENSLER,
1922 Mary St. Marinette, Wis.

Obituary.
THOS. l.. STILLMAN

A telegram received Monday morn
ing announces the death of Thos. l..
Stillman at Daytona, Florida, where
he went less than three weeks ago to
pass the winter. He had been in fail
ing health for some time past, being
badly crippled with rheumatism, but
the immediate cause of his death was
not mentioned in the telegram.
Thos. L. Stillman was the last men,

Mrs. VIM. Schrub was the victim
of very pleasant birthday surprise,
given by the members of the German

ORANGES of the occasion.
Among the other festivities on
Christmas eve was an Illuminated tree

The next number on the lecture
course will be filled by Henry Clark,

For Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day evenings, Dec. %, 20 and 80, the
Lyric will present Prof. Dubec and his

The sale of Red Cross stamps

sents very satisfactory figures: The

Tall won the prize of S. offered to the
pupil of the high school and eighth

d. P. Devine, Albion's supervisor,
who is chairman of the road committee,
has placed orders for between $4,000
and SO, 900 worth of road making ma
chinery for use on the highways of
Dane county. The order embraces two
large power rollers, one complete rock
crusher with feeder device, dump
wagons and other necessary imple-
ments. These additions will give the
county six separate outfits for the use
of the towns in highway construction.
The county has mapped out to spend
about $4,000 in improvements on its
roads the coming season. One OF the
sections on the schedule for rebuilding
the coming year is the east road lead
ing out of this city into Albion. Work
will commence from the city limits and
run north When it is considered that
over 80 per cent of the highway taxes
under the new law are willingly paid
by the cities and villages of Dane
county and expended entirely on coun-
try roads, it can be seen how strongly
the city people believe in good roads.

If hay fever is caused by the dust why
does not every one have it?
Why does it always come in the fall of
the year and stay until the first frost, in
stead of the early summer, when dust is
even more plentiful.
Why do we have hay fever worse in
some states than in others, and in some not
at all?

office clerks.
Now, this is certain: No cards are de-
stroyed by the clerks and none is sent to the
dead letter office for destruction unless it is
of such nature that it cannot, according to
the rules of the department, be forwarded.
But many pretty cards never reach their
