Alaska. Natural submarinss.

The channels Of the Alaskan water.
ways vary as you sail on to the north
ward. Now they widen into great
lakes; now they are rivers as narrow
as the Hudson or Rhine At times you
pass through gorges walled by islands
and the mainland, and at times you are
In Hords like those formed by the half
sunken Andes along western Patago-
mia, near the strait Of Magellan. This
part Of our territory Is made up OF the
heads of submerged mountains, and In
places there are great rocks as steep,
as high and as sharp as the Washing
ton monument, which come within
twenty or thirty feet Of the surface.
These are terrible pinnacle rocks that
rio open the bulls Of the steamers.
They are searched for and marked
with buoys by The wire drag OF our
coast and geodetic survey.-Christdan

Patent Stock Foods and Remedies.
(Dr. r. L. Russell. Professor of Veterinary
Science and Bacteriology).

We very commonly see on the shelves
Of drug and grocery stores, feed stores,
blacksmith shops and in fact in horse
and COW stables medioated foods and
remedies. In many of the second rate
agricultural and family periodicals we
see conspicuous advertisements pro-
claiming the merits OF these medicated
foods and remedies. In many places
conspicuously placed bill boards and even
road side trees and rocks are disfgured
with similar advertising matter. We
have no means of knowing to what ex.
tent these 80 called remedies are pur-
chased and used, but We believe If the
figures we're attainsble they would sur
prise some of Us by their size.
In great variety Of ways the claim is
presented to every one who can read or
even possesses the sense OF vision that for
q small consideration one can procure
sure remedy for most of the ills that do.
nestle animals are afflicted with. Such
magical power do these much advertised
remedies possess that we'll animate are
greatly benefited BY them. Hens are
made to lay more eggs, COWS give more
and richer milk, pigs fatten better and
horses trot faster. II these medicated
stock foods really possessed half the vir-
tues that are claimed for them no more
valuable work could be done by the state
and National Government and by all who
are interested in public welfare than to
assist In every possible way to promote
the distribution and use Of them.
Unfortunately these extravagant claims
do not bear impartial investigation.
There 10 every reason to believe that
these vaunted remedies instead OF meet
lug real need and benefiting humanity,
are an absolute curse and the money that
farmers invest In them is worse than
thrown away. When we consider the
composition Of these highly advertised
medicated foods and remedies we find
that most OF them consist, In greater
part, of such materials ~ poplar bark,
grain screenings, wheat middlings, bran,
corn meal and salt, colored 1t may be
with charcoal, yellow ocbre, and Spanish
brown. Some ginger, mustard, gentian,
sulphur, or soda is often added, also
small proportions of cheap crude drugs.
That such material finds ready sale at
from ten to thousand times any possi.
BILE value 1t possesses seems to tend to
corroborate the saying that is credited
to the great Snowman Barnum, that
people like to be humbugged.
It even lends some COLOR to tho state
ment that fool and his money are soon
no rted

THINK HIS DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Believed That Gus Drage1
Fell Down Stairs Which
Caused His Demise

1t is now believed the death of Gus
Drager at Galena was accidental. AS
before stated his wife had gone to
Whitewater to attend the funeral of
sn aunt, and he was alone at the time.
The neighbors state an express pack
age came on Saturday, March 4, and
that it was given to him after he came
home in the evening. Later he was
heard to shake down the stove. On
Sunday light in the house was noticed
to be burning and late in the day the
house was entered. A search was
made but he could be found. Another
time and no occupant. When the
house was gone over the third time
narrow stairway was found which led
to the cellar. This was used but sci
dom and had door both at the top and
bottom. Mr. Drager was found at the bot
tom of the stairway, jammed and crowd
ed against the door. He had remov ed
part of his clothing preparatory to re-
firing and it is thought he was hunting
for more covering as the night was
cold. There was no evidence of his
trying to get out of the place in which
he was wedged and evidently died soon
after he fell Either heart failure, apo
plexy or wound on the head evident
ly caused his death. There were two
wounds on his head.
The funeral was held at Fort Atkln-
son. The service at Galena by Rev. FIR.
Amdon and at Fort Atkinson by the
brotherhood of Railway Conductors.
Members of the brotherhood were the
pail bearers.
AS previously stated Mrs. Drager was
at Whitewater at the time Mr.. Drager
died. On the day the funeral of her
aunt was held she went with Mrs. A. E.
Cook to Fort Atkinson to attend the
funeral of her husband. They former
ly resided in Baraboo.
Among those at the funeral were the
following:
Assistant Superintendent J. w. Lay
den, Baraboo.
MIR. and Mrs. A. Hoffman,, Baraboo.
Conductor J. Ell. Hubbard, Baraboo.
Conductor R. B. Maloney, Baraboo.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Cook, Madison.
Conductor James LaValle, Madison.
William o 'Brien, Milwaukee.
J.Lenihan, Milwaukee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Kelley and
daughter, Galens.
Harry Parish, Montford.
George Williams, Galena.
Mr.. Drager bad been i'll for some time,
had undergone an operation and was a.
bout ready to re sumo his duties with
the Chicago & Northwestern wnen he
met with the accident.
