the benefit of the railroads who ask
ed last Monday that they be given 4
week to prepare their case. The
railroad companies win strenuously
fight both the Fielder bill and the
Pierce bill. They will oppose the
former because it puts practically
all the cost of grade crossing re-
moval on the railroad companies. ex-
cept where a trolley line also uses
the crossing. They will fight the
Pierce bill, as they did last winter,
because 1t provides that each rail-
road company in the state shall
eliminate one grade crossing annual
ly for each thirty miles of track
operated.
Grade crossing legislation this
year will split on the question of
sharing the cost of the important
work. The Democratic conference
last Tuesday decided in favor of the
Fielder bill, with its provision put
ting almost all the burden on the
railroads. This is the governors bill
and 1t is expected the Democrats will
put 1t through. It will have the sup
port OF the Mayors Association OF
the State. The railroad companies
will fight to get a law similar to the
New York statute, which puts SIS per
cent. OF the cost on the railroads, 20
per cent. upon the state and 15 per
cent. upon the municipality.

END LIVER TROUBLE
WITHOUT CAL0MEL
Uutrustworthy Drug, Thought to
Loosen the Teeth, Now Made
Absolutely Unnecessary.

DR.. Edwards Olive rablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are the mildest but
surest laxative known, and their effect
on the liver is almost instantaneous.
They are the result of DR.. Edwards
determination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints v salomel. DR..
Edwards has been c1ssomel's uncom-
promising foe. His efforts to Danish 1t
brought out these little olive-oil-colored
tablets, a rare combination Of vego-
table compounds mixed with olive oil
These pleasant, harmless little tablets
do all the good that calomel does but
have no bad after effects. They DOM
inlure the teeth like strong liquids or
calomel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeths
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel at all, but
to let Olive Tablets take their place.
Most headaches, "~dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take Olive
Tablets when you feel ''loggy" and
sfheavy.o Note how they "clear' the
clouded brain and how they "perk up''
the spirits.

Newark'S Greatest Industrial Show
Set In Motion Al Ten
O'clock Today.

About a year ago, while we were yet in the old store, we conceived the
idea of holding an exposition Of Newark made products: We had faith IN the
great Industrial City and we realized the possibilities OF a "Madem Newark
display. Considering tn, lack Of space and other disadvantages under which
we were labodng at that time, the exposition was a great success; so great
or new store we would hold a real exposition The great show which en-;
tered upon its way today is the result of months of careful planning and
weeks Of almost ceaseless labor. It is, in every detail the most comprehen-
sve industrial exposition ever held in Newark, and it is with great pleasure
and pride that we invite you to visit our. store. There are over one hundred
local manufacturers represented, half of whom have installed working ma
chinery in their booths. There are looms and machines and presses galore,
in fact as we have said before, the MADE in Newark" Exposition isa Worlds
Fair in miniature.
Have you ever seen a diamond cutter? Have you ever seen aluminium
ware manufactured? Have you ever been in a ribbon factory? Have you
ever seen a rug weaver at work? Have you ever seen a glass cutter? Have
you ever seen a n umbrella factory in operation? Have you ever seen a
newspaper press? These and dozens of other wonderful exhibitions are
working at the Bamberger store. Come and bring your friends. Welcomed!

Legend of Cave Rock
1t is Mistaken Idea to Think There is Fortune
at the Bottom OF the Wisconsin River.
by N. B. Hood, Spring Green.)

&sTo the EDITOR I'm recent issue of
your paper my attentio was called to
what raftsman tells of Rock or what
has been known since the first white
m an invaded this locality as "Cave
Rock" This comes from the fact
that at this point ledge of rock on
the south bank of the sold Wisconce"
is washed by the stream; also that the
river at Cave Rock is the narrowest
found between the Dells and where it
empties into the Mississippi river.
Here some fifteen years ago, large
steel bridge was erected for the benefit
of the travelling pubic. The south
approach of this bridge rivermen
called Cave Rock. [ will state here
that an Indian legend gave the name
to the place. The writer, one time a
raftsman and during the past fifty
years resident ia few miles distant
from Cave Rock, states the facts as
near as he can remember what was
told of Cave Rock at an early date.
Long before the white man settled
here, traders made trips between
Green Bay and Prairie du Chien. A
couple of French traders with a
