Dear SIR
AS our firm has loaned nearly a
million dollars to the Farmers of
Northern Wisconsin. in order they
might improve their farms, naturally
we were interested in the exhibit Of
the various counties at the State
Fair. In looking over the different
booths the writer was not only sur.
prised, but was very much pleased
in the showing which they made.
In our line of business we have
considerable diffic ulty in convincing
oar clients in Southern Wisconsin
that you folks can raise anything
but stumps, and it gave US great
pleasure to have many of our clients
see what you really were raising.
The exhibit Of Bayfield, county
deserves special praise for it certain
Iy. was andy, and the residents of
that County should feel proud of it.
We hope that you will keep up
the good work that has such a fine
start, because we believe there is no
better form of advertising than
this. When it comes to actual re-
suits, even Wisconsin people are
from Missouri and "Have to be
shown, and we do not know of any
better way to show them than by an
exhibit at the State Fair.

A GLIMPSE OF SMYRNA.
It's Greatest Business Street Is OnI>
Fifteen Feet Wide.

Its Greatest Business Street Is Only
Fifteen Feet Wide.
Let us in imagination go ashore at
Smyrna from one of the great black
steamships of the Messageries Mari
times. We land ON noisy, bustllng
quay alongside of which runs q little
one horse railway. Great ships from
most of the leading ports of the world
are tied up to the quay by their sterns.
On the other side Of the broad street,
the only one in Smyrna to which this
adjective can be applied, are large
warehouses and one or two pretentious
hotels
Passing through cross street, we
come to the great business artery Of
the city, the so called Frank street"
which has doubtless obtained Its name
from the fact that so many Franks, a
generic name for foreigners, do bust
ness on it,
This street is only fifteen feet wide,
and yet it is the chief business thor
oughfare of q city Of a quarter of a
million inhabitants. Two people
stretching out their arms and touching
hands In the middle could span the
street, and yet through it hurries con-
slant stream Of foot passengers, dash
ing cabs, stately camels, donkeys and
donkey boys, beasts Of burden and
men of burden, carrying every conceiv-
able article that people Of the orient
or the occident might want, for this is
one Of the chief cities In the world
where east and west meet on a COM
mon footing.-Christian Herald.

GERMS IN THE BLOOD.
Why Fever and ChilIs Alternate Wher
Person Has Malaria.

Why Fever and ChilIs Alternate When
Person Has Malaria.
When the germs Of malaria-real nve
animals these, belonging 10 the order
protozoa-enter the blood with the sa-
Iva Of the biting mosquito they in
stantly attack the red corpus es.
Each one eats its way into corpu~ Gle
and after brief rest divides himself
into sixteen. What is left Of the cor
puscle is now dead. It breaks down,
and the sixteen new germs-plasmOdia,
as the doctors call them-are set free
In the blood. Each of these instantly
seeks out a new red corpuscle, which
1t attacks in the same way.
This process, In the ordinary malaria,
takes just forty-eight hours. When
the germs are eating the red corpus
cles the temperature Of the body Is In
creased, causing fever. When the mui
tiplied germs are discharged into the
blood the whole body feels as If chilled.
This causes the shivers and shakes
that usually come every alternate day
and that have given US the common
name "chills and fever"
So when you have the chill you may
know that your broken down red cor
puscles are discharging myriads OF
germs into your blood, and when the
chill gives way to fever you may know
that these germs are busy attacking
your red corpuscles--New York World.

.S3O,O6O FOR
ROAD BUILDING
Continued from Page

done in the town before May LIST.
Under the resolution the county
board relinquished its assumed duty
to build and maintain all roads on
the county system and the duty re-
verified back to the towns.
Mr.. Werden took the floor and
championed his resolution and brought
out many strong points i'm favor of it's
passage. Many of the town chair
men thought it would be an injustice
to them to release the county from
it's duty to maintain the county roads
and the resolution was voted down,
the vote being II to IL. There was
much food for thought in the resolu-
ton and the matter will undoubtedly
be brought to the attention of the
board members at their annual Nov
emDer meeting.
A resolution was introduced by
Supervisor Barnes of the town of
Barnes, which passed, authorizing
the Committee on Equalization to
make Investigations as to the value
of property situated in Bayfield, coun-
ty in order to obtain proper valu-
ations. The cost of making the
investigation is limited to 5000.
An additional room was ordered
rented for the 3rd Municipal court at
Bayfield,.
The board voted to levy the sum
1-2 mill on the taxable property of
Bayfield, county in addition to what
has already been levied. This makes
levy of two mills ON this year S
assessment roll for road purposes.
The committee on roads of the
County Board recommended that no
more money be expended on that
portion of the county system of high
ways known as the Sand River road
until it is certain that this is the best
possible route. The Board voted
that the committee should engage the
services of an engineer to locate a
better route.

ELIMINATION of Milton.

One Of the most curious instances Of
exhumation was that of Milton's re-
mains at the parish church Of st. Giles,
Cripplegate Doubts having been ex-
pressed as to the exact position of the
grave, the ground was opened in 1890
A struggle for relics followed, bones,
teeth and hair being seized by the par
ish officials. Crowds flocked to the
church and paid the gravedigger Cd
per head to see the remains. while
the workmen engaged there shared IN
the plumber by refusing admission to
any one who would not pay the price
of a pot of beer. And finally the poor
rector, who had not shared in the
spells, brought an action "for the re-
covery Of dues unjustly withheld from
him."-London Chronicle.
