The transfer of the stock of the cor
poration controlling the water powers
at Prairie du Sac and at Kilbourn may
mean a great deal to the state of Wis
consin. 1t is limited also that the plans
of the new owners of the powers con-
template the building of large inter-
urban electric railway system through
out central Wisconsin which shall be
operated by the power developed at
the Prairie du Sac and Kilbourn dams.
The consideration for the transfer of
the powers is still kept secret, but it
is understood that the properties are
valued at over $8,000,000. The pur-
chase of the powers by the Beggs cap
italists marks one of the largest water
power transactions that has ever &C.
Cured in the central West, and it is
said the plan for the sale of the power
means an attempt to have the power
substituted for the operation of cleo
trical plants in all the cities that can
possibly be reached by the power trans
mission lines.

The Historical RIuebeard.

Bluebeard was a historical parsonage
whose name was Giles de RetZ He
was nicknamed "Barbe Bleue," from
having a beard Of a blue black shade.
Persuaded by an italian alchemist that
his strength could be restored by bath
ing in the blood of infants, he had
many children entrapped for this
hideous purpose into his castle of
Chamtoce. on the Loire, the ruins of
which are still to be seen. At last the
horrible suspicious of the country folk
as to what was going on were proved,
and the monster was burned at the
stake at Nantes in 1440.

Verdi and His Admirer.

Verdi was once travelling in the same
railway carriage with General Tour
non. They got into conversation,
which soon turned on the subject of
music. and the general, who did not
know his companion, expressed en-
thusiastic preference for that Of Italy.
II can hardly go so far with you,
replied the other. For me, art has
no frontiers, and l give German music
the preference over Italian
Indeed. SIR said the general testi-
ly. ''For my part, 1 would give all
the German operas in the world for
one act Of 'Rigoletto.'
"You really must excuse me from
following you any further on this
ground replied the composer, blush
ing little. IT am Verdi"

e governor Philips new superin-
tendent of public property, Mr.. Bloom
enfield, has doubtless given Madison
tenement block owners a chill that will
last them all winter. He has had the
audacity to remove all state depart
ments into the capitol building, although
possibly there may not be room to
house the vast army without their
walking upon each other. That item
of $500 per month for outside rent
grated on the sensibilities of Philip
and Bloomenfeld. That's the manner
of their handling state business. Do
taxpayers endorse that kind of bust
ness and neutrality-suspicious. Censor.

The Color of the Eye.

The color of the iris is not uniform
in any eye. Some eyes have spots,
others stripes. still others blotches Of
white, green. blue, yellow and black.
and the eye takes its color from the
predominance of one hue. An eye
that is considered gray will often be
composed of black and yellow. An
eye that is thought to be brown will
be very dark red with spots of yellow
or blue.

Friendship.

It is an inestimable blessing for any
man or woman to possess friend; one
human soul in whom complete conf
dence may be reposed; one who knows
the best and worst of us, and who
loves us in spite of all our faults; who
will speak the honest truth to us
while the world flatters us to our face
and laughs at us behind our backs;
who will give us counsel and reproof
in the day of prosperity and self-con-
ceit, but who, again, will comfort and
encourage us in the day of difficulty
and sorrow, when the world leaves us
alone to fight out our own battle.

BECAUSE of decreased traffic the rail-
roads were compelled to cut expenses
to the amount of $137, 921, 900 during
the last fiscal year. This reduction
meant nearly S138, 600, 900 less paid out
for labor and material produced by
labor General business depression
forced the reduced expenditure. Every
farmer who has butter, eggs, meat,
vegetables and other food products to
sell, suffered his share of the loss be-
cause workmen had $138. 900, 900 less

A Worthy Measure

While the Arizona legisla-

and passed some whice might

$4,000 for the relief of the
people who had staked their all

PULL THE STRING

THE purse string in this COM
L munity is entirely too tight.
Give it a pull.
There is just as SO much
money around here as there ever
was, but it is hidden away and
not in circulation.
And why?
Simply because some one yell
led hard times, and people i'm
mediately jumped to the con-
clusion that we had hard times,
and that the only thing to do
was to bury their money, get it
out Of sight, any where on earth
except in circulation.
1t was simply an inflated case
Of himham and monkeydoodle.
There is no occasion for hard
times, we have none, and it is
about time to quit thinking we
have and come down to earth
and get back to our occupation
of doing business at the old
stand.
We have had years OF big
crops, another whale is in sight,
farmers are all prosperous, and
millions in gold are pouring
from Europe.
Hard times? Hard piffle.
AS far as supply and demand
are concerned conditions are
normal-even above normal.
And this whole hue and cry
is merely the result of people
who have money withdrawing
! it from circulation and boarding
it away.
And it's a bad thing to do.
It's not patriotic, its not busi-
nesslike, it's not even horse
sense.
It's everything that it should
not be.
It's converting a shadow into
an elephant where even the
shadow does not exist.
Let's quit it.
Let's pull the string and let
the money flow, and keep it
flowing and moving, and chang
ing, and earning, and creating,
and multiplying, and adding to
the community riches.
Money is good only for what
it will bring, and wealth boarded
away brings nothing.
Let's turn it loose, and start
it to earning again, and put this
town on the boom.
Get out the old purse, open it
out, do something to boost the
community and the community
will boost you.
There are opportunities all
around US for investment and
earning money, but more money
is never made by gold that is
hidden away.
Hard times are but a name,
and even the name is worn
down to a frazzle.
Now let's bury the frazzle and
get down to business.
Let's turn loose the gold and
let it work.
Opportunity is knocking at
our door, but it will not wait
while we sleep.
