WOULD CREATE NEW COUNTY
Plan to Take Territory from Ash
land, Price and Sawyer Counties
and Make Park Falls Capital.

MadisOn.-Park Falls, Price coun-
ty, comes forward with a new county
scheme which affects the rearrange-
ment of northern Wisconsin geogra-
ply and unsettles the boundary lines
of at least four counties. The bill
will be introduced by Assemblyman
Urouhart and is designed TO make
Park Falls a county seat. This is
accomplished by detaching territory
from Price, Ashland and Sawyer
counties.
Ten townships are. taken from
Price county, ten from Ashland and
four from Sawyer, which will constf-
tr1te the new county. In order to
make up for the territory taken, four
townships are added to Price county
and ten townships are taken from
BAYFIELD, county, and given to Ash
land county. The Apostle islands
now divided between Ashland and
Bayfield, counties are given to Bay
field.
The bill win be introduced by re-
quest and is likely to precipltate q
big contest.

SWEARS NO WARNING GIVEN
Conductor of Inflated Sheboygan
Car festifies That Bridge Sig
nails We're Not Displayed.

eboygan.-That no signals were
displayed to show that the bridge was
to be opened, and that the car was
within a cars length of the approach
when the draw started to open. was
the testimony of Conductor Frank
Weber at the inquest here over the
bodies Of the three women who met
death when Sheboygan street car
plunged through an open draw.
George Theme, motorman Of the
Inflated car, was unable to appear,
being still confined to his bed as a
result Of the shock
Conductor Weber swore that he
felt the car slip on the rails, although
the motorman had set the brakes.
Then the motorman attempted to
turn the lever and succeeded in turn
ing it five times, lessening up slightly
on the brakes. When he saw it was
impossible for him to stop the car
he shouted to people standing near
by; Hold her, boys; 1 can't stop
her"
If an effort had been made to re-
suscitate victims of the plunge into
the draw some of them at least,
would not be dead, is the opinion Of
a local physician.
The first body was out of the car
six minutes after it entered the
water. Life has been found in bodies
that have been in water more than
twenty minutes, and persons who
have been in water twenty minutes
have been resuscitated.
No attempt was made, it is de-
clared, to resuscitate any of the vic
tins
The street car which was removed
from the river, has been torn to
pieces by souvenir hunters. The con-
troller of the car has been stolen and
much Of the brass work has been
torn out.

Has an Old Relic of Washington.

One of the most interesting relics of
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. It is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
lntire, native genius with a gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour Of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
TO adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem
Here the effigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireprOOf room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness Of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-BOston Globe.

HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence Of heredity cannot, Of
it can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while | was a coffee
drinker I suffered from bilious at
lacks Of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat
ing the liver, which | tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: IF you have inherited one Of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inactiOn.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Z was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed TO stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. | feared
it would be a severe trial to give it
up, but when I took Postum and had
it well made, it completely filled my
need for a hot beverage and l grew
very fond Of it.
Il have used Postum for three years
using no medicine. During all that
time I have had absolutely none oil
the bilious attacks that I used to suf
fer from, and l have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.
"The change is surely very great
and I am compelled to give Postum
the exclusive credit for it." Name

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cut1cura' sounds to me, for 1t
cured my baby of itching, torturfng
eczema. It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing ON her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that [ really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, go I
stopped him coming
For about two. weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got a box Of Cutfcura Ointment
and began to use that In week
there was a marked Improvement. La
all [ used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured Of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the

be more powerful physically than
