having it treated, the result being
that his whole system was poisoned.
His condition has been very critical,

He touched at length upon the high

the cost Of production has grown less

to Wisconsin last week of United

was an event of large interest. Wis

senator, and his appearance in Wis

to deliver a chautaugua address on

The senator appears to be In ex-
cellent health. 'I'm hard as nails" he

be a little heavier than usual, and
much of the old fire and intenseness

A Pleasant Pilgrimage.

The Herald man had occasion to
take trip to Bloomington last week
and in going through Beetown was
caught in a storm and held there for
an hour or so. We were glad we
did so as we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. and Mrs. Matt Auel and
having dinner at their model hostelry.
Mrs. Auel finds time aside from keep
ing the hotel as neat as new dollar
and serving most excellent meals to
hungry travellers, to send in lot of
bright newsy items to the Herald
every week. Surely we are blessed
in having such excellent cor
respondents We also had the
pleasure OF meeting Mr.. VIM. Brun
who operates the up-to-date smithy
and woodworking shop next door to
the hotel. Mr.. Brun is one of the
kind of men that won't let you go
until he pays ais subscription,
although we were not out for col
lections. His place indicates that
he is we'll equipped to do most salts
factory work. Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Stotler who run the post Office are
very pleasant people to meet and
certainly know how to make a
stranger feel at home. We had
started for Glen Haven but decided
after the rain that if we wished to
get back to Lancaster and home the
same evening, it would be best to
defer this portion of the trip.
GA merciful man is merciful to
his beast "says the good book and
Bill who was driving is most merci-
full individual. So we went to
Bloomington instead.
It is easy for stranger to see just
why Grant county is so prosperous
when he looks on the smiling fields
and fertile upIands in the vicinity
of Bloomington. Bloomington is
some town all right and there are
thousands of villages in this country
having two or three railroads that do
not compare with it in smart appear
ance, cleanliness, good stores and nice
homes: g We didn't have time to get
around much but we did have the
pleasure of shaking hands with A. j.
Fraser one of Bloomington fine
people and an old subscriber of the
Herald. Mr.. Bishop, the editor of
he iY1 nd r1c
very cordially. Our able correspondent,
James Hayden, happened to be away
for the day and much to our regret
we missed seeing him. We will let
you know the next time jim
Our next stop was Flora where we
shookhands with George Peterson who
lives on the hillside looking across that
beautiful valley. Mr.. Petersen is
having deep trouble these days due
to the illness of his helpmate and it
is the wish of all that she may have
a speedy recovery of health.
The longest way round is the surest
way home and in this case certainly
the pleasantest. For the benefit of
our subscribers in other parts of
the country who formerly lived in
Grant county we will say that the
fields look fine in spite of the ex-
cessive rains. The corn is in ex-
cellent shape considering the season
and if the latter part of the summer
and fall is favorable we will have a
good crop yet The ravages of that
pesky little "varmint, the white
grub, is apparent in good many
fields and it is to be hoped that the
experts will justify their occupation
and soon find some means of
eradicatIng the evil.

Preventing Premature Burials.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is. SO widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, in a given case. death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; 1t shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon OF scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

Constitutional Convention Asked.

Denver. - Speaker Stewart and
Fincher, minority leader, introduced
joint resolution in the House (Which
was passed) for the submission by
referendum to the people in Novem-
Der, 1916, of the question of whether
there shall be constitutional conven-
tion. 1t recites that nearly forty years
have elapsed since the present consti-
tuition was framed and adopted. THAT
numerous Independent amendments
have been adopted, sometimes in ap-
parent disregard of their effect upon
the remaining provisions of our funda-
mental law, thus resulting in consid
cradle inconsistency and doubt as to
the real meaning OF old and new pro-
visions in relation to one another" it
further recites THAT there seems to
be widespread desire to permit the
deliberate consideration of the consti-
tuition as a whole with reference to
all of it's parts for the purpose of
more effectually harmonizing the lat
ter provisions with the principles un-
derlying our state government"
