FEAR WASHOUT OF
D|KES At PORTAGE
Citizens Aroused by Prospects
of High Water.
PETITION TO STATE FOR AID
Comm ttee Calls on Governor for
Relief from Peril Breaking of the
Levee Would Cause Flooding of
Valley-Ask Spe cial Session,

rtage.-Alarming flood condi-
tons of the Wisconsin river because
of the excessive snow this winter
has caused intense excitement in this
vicinity, and fearing a disaster that
would be repetition of Black River
Falls, not in Postage alone, but many
of the towns alcUg Fox river valley.
AT a massmeeUing that filled the
court house here the city council as
well as the levee commissioners
urged action on the food danger this
spring. In response to the pleas the
1000 people present signed resolu-
tions calling on the state to protect
of the Fox. River valley from dis
aster similar to that at Black River
Falls.
1t is declared here by the fright
ened populace that only quick work
can prevent the bursting of the dam
near town by the force of the spring
foods.
A committee of citizens went to
Madison and appealed to Gov. Nc
Govern for redress. Last fall when
the food was at its height Portage
maintained armed patrols on the
levee to prevent people from taking
the situation in their own HANDS to
arrest the destruction of their prop
erty by cutting the levee and letting
the food of water pass from Port
age down to Oshkosh and the other
Fox river valley towns.
Gov. McGovern gave the state
levee commission and a committee of
citizens an extended hearing on the
question OF flood protection 1t is
hoped here that the levee> question
will urge special session of the
legislature.

SPECIAL SESSION
DETERMINED Upon
Now Practically Assured That
Legislature Will Convene.
MAKE NO CALL UNTIL APRIL
Black River Falls Situation the Prin-
cipal Subject for Consideration
Special Elections to FIN Vacancies
Necessary Before Solons Meet.

Madison-That there will be a
special session of the Legislature call
ed to consider the situation at Black
River Falls arising out of the condi-
lions left by the flood disaster of last
fall and to take up other subjects
which Gov. McGovern believes are
pressing for solution is now stated as
fact. That a special session cam
not meet before April % is a legal
aspect of the case that must control
and may result in determining the
date of the special session at a time
still more remote
Gov McGovern has said that he
would not consider the proposition of
a special session now but for the ur-
gent appeals from a distressed peo-
pie of Black River Falls, backed by
a strong sentiment throughout the
state. The committee appointed some
time ago to have charge of the relief
fund for the benefit of the stricken
city has urged persistently the neces-
sity of legislative aid. Its efforts
have reached the limit of accom-
plishment in the way of relief and,
except for what the school children
of the state and here and there a priS
vate charity are doing, contributions
to the fund have practically ceased
and the needs of the appealing COM
munity have only been half met
But before a special session of the
legislature can be held there must
be two primary elections and two
special elections held to fill vaean-
cies, one each in the membership of
senate and assembly. Since the last
session adjourned two deaths have
occurred. Assemblyman Carl II.
Dorner of Milwaukee and Senator
Jas. A. Wright of Merrill, Thirtieth
provides that these shall be filled by
special election called upon the pre-
eept of the governor. The machin-
cry of election takes time, and as the
legislative apportionment made by
the last legislature becomes opera
tive on April /, any special election
that may be required now must be
in accordance with that law of APP
portionment and cannot be held be-
fore April 20, giving proper time for
canvass and return of the vote at the
primary election.
With the prospects of special ses-
sion affirmatively established there
will be discussion and consideration
of what other matters, aside from
the Black River Falls situation, shall
be made subjects of legislative
action 1t is understood that the wa
ter power question. recently the sub
ject of an adverse decision by the
supreme court, is almost certain to
be taken up again with view to
passing bill that will stand the tests
established by the court. Then, too,
it is probable that some minor de-
fects that have been found to exist
in the primary election law and the
corrupt practices act will be cor
rected.

URGE SICKNESS INSURANCE
Friends of Workmen's Compensation
Law to Ask Action by Wiscon-
sin legislature.

Madison. Now that workers in
Wisconsin are insured against loss
by accident, the state may go step
farther and provide sickness insur-
ance, say friends of the workmen's
compensation law. Such measure
will receive serious consideration be-
fore the next regular session of the
legislature opens. 1t is argued that
so far as it incapacitates one from
earning livelihood, sickness is in
the same category with accidents,
and that sickness insurance is rea-
sonable and elsewhere has proven
feasible and popular, especially in
Germany.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother. watching close
~ the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss OF
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, II necessary
You will find the child viii quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively. and causes no gripping or
discomfort Its tonic properties build
up the stomach. liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell Or. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.00
bottles. If YOU have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 2O1 Washington St, Mon
ticello, III. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.
