Our country has become
aroused over legislatures and
congress controlled, at least
in part, by corporations and
by local interests. Too many
of our lawmakers are men
seeking the almighty dollar
to the detriment of the nation
al welfare. We hear much of
bribery and grating, and, at
least, some of it is true.
There must be two parties
actively participating in this
prevalent larceny to make it
safe and profitable. The two
parties are our members of
the legislatures and congress
elected by the votes of honest
citizens, and the concerns in
terestcd in particular laws
proposed. Since voters can
not control the corporations,
who levy a burdensome tri-
butte from the general public
under the protection of some
bribed law, the voters should
see that only the most honest
men are elected to political
Offices. We have always felt
somehow that common-sensed
farmers, ordinary merchants
of our smaller towns and
everyday intelligent me-
chanics should be sent as our
law makers instead of some
corporation lawyers and
heavy stockholders in some
dividend paying company.
At least, they could not do
worse.

Would Have Clean Shops

Interes ting among the freak bills
that has been introduced in the leg
islature is one regarding the regula-
ton of printing establishments. 1t
seeks to regulate the daily life in
printing offices, its purpose being to
compel the prin ter to be neat and
tidy as to household habits. He
must do his sweeping, busting and
scrubing every so often or the COB
Inns will get him. He cannot exer-
else perfect freedom as to the use of
the old office cuspidor, but one must
be provided for every two persons in
the office, and an extra one must be
had if there are odd numbers.
There are some commendable fea-
lures to the bill which would not
be objected to by Any office proprie-
tor, but some of the parts of the
bill are rather laughable.

Interested in Bill

Northern Wisconsin land men are
interested in a bill which is to be
introduced in the state senate by
Senator Linlev of Superior which
gives the bone fde settler the right
to cond emn unoccupied land. A
Madison account of the bill is as
follows:
"The bill will provide that land
not exceeding 100 acres in extent
may be thus condemned where the
owner of unoccupied land holds
more than one thousand acres. The
intent of the bill is to prevent large
land holders IN the northern part
of the state from withholding such
lands from actual settlement.
in the northern part of the state
there are vast tracts of land held by
companies and individuals which are
either not for sale, or are held at
such high figure that actual bona
fde settlers cannot acquire home
steads.
cit is also provided in the bill that
there shall be no more sales of state
lands except to actual bona fide set
tiers in tracts not exceeding 100
acres in extent.
1.-The custom now is to sell the
state lands at auction to any pur-
chaser and it too often happens
that investors and even mere specu-
lators buy in the lands. This is
very foolish on the part of the state.
The state should hold all it's saleable
land for actual bona fide settlers. y
said Senator Iii nley.

Warning to Railroad Men

Look out for severe and even
dangerous kidney and bladder
trouble resulting from years Of rail-
reading. Geo. E. Bell, 500 Third
St., Fort Wayne, Ind, was many
years a conductor on the Nickel
Plate. He says: Twenty years of
railroading left my kidneys in
terrible condition. There was con-
tinual pain across my back and hips
and my kidneys gave me much dis
tress, and the action of my blander
was frequent and most painful. I
got supply of Foley's Kidney Pills
and the first bottle made wonder
full Improvement and four bottles
cured me completely. Since being
cured 1 have recommended Fola y
kidney Remedy Pills to many of my
railroad friends @. W. Frost.

There is nothing like the
pure fresh air and sunlight
to give vigor to the body and
mind. Many persons make a
great mistake in remaining
indoors and broiling them
selves to death all winter be-
side the red-hot kitchen
stove. They are mortally a
fraid of catching a cold. The
parents imagine that it is
their duty to keep the child
dren in the house continuous
ly as soon as the frost sears
the leaves, and to see that
the doors and windows are
closed and next to fright,
day and night. The parents
want healJny and ROBUST chill
Gren; but they employ entire
ly the wrong method. Let
the children and everybody
else, have all the life-giving
ozone of the outdoor air pos
sible. The country people
have this inestimable advan-
tage over city people, and
they ought to be wise enough
to make the best use of it.
The fresh air is justas neces-
sary in winter as it is in
summer.

Lengthy Session of Council
Held Tuesday Night
Authorize Expenditure of
About 100000 in
Sewer Extensions.

A stormy session of the Com
mon council which lasted until
almost midnight was held at the
Office of City Clerk Axelberg
Tuesday evening. Much bust
ness was up before the council
for action but aside from allow
ing a mum Der of claims against
the city and authorizing the ex-
tension of the sewer system of
the city which would necessitate
the expenditure of about $1,000,
very little other business was
accomplished. The sewer ex-
tensions would include five blocks
of sewer on west third street
and three blocks on west Pine
street to connect with those
already laid, The property
owners along these streets are
deslrous Of having sewer con.
nections and have petitioned the
codncil to that effect.
Chief of the Fire Department
Peter Nygren was authorized to
tear down all dangerous portions
of the Void building which was
destroyed by fire last Sunday
morning, and the amount will be
charged up to the property.
A petition was presented ask
ing that the city discontinue the
use of soft coal in the city hall
building or arrange the furnace
in such a manner as to do away
with the smoke and black SCOT
that is being scattered about the
city. The petition received
favorable attention and the mat
ter was left with com mittee
with power to act.
A petition was presented ask
ing that the water main be ex-
tended on west 5th street from
3rd avenue to 5th avenue. This
was referred as was also a
petition for road in section 81
1875,
The lighting question came up
just before the council adjourned
and lively discussion was par
ticipated in by the mem bers.
TIE two propositions of the
Washburn Electric Light and Pow
err company which had been referred
to the Railway commission, and the
one for gasoline lighting system,
were discussed to some extent, but
no action was taken one way or the
other and the matter will very likely
be the main topic at an adjourned
meeting which will be held next
Thursday evening. The council
members are aware that public SEN
timent is strongly in favor of lights
and that the taxpayers will demand
that our streets be again lighted,
and they may be able to get to-
gether some proposition before long.
