White Star basketball teams sswallop-
ed'' both visiting teams from the To-
bacco city, much to the delight and
satisfaction of the Stoughton rooters,
as both home teams were given the
same dose at Edgerton week ago.
That the 1O7th military police, with
which most of the Stoughton enlisted
men are connected, reached France
safely was the good news received here
late Thursday afternoon, through the
medium of cards which had been re-
leased for mailing by the receipt of an
official cablegram announcing the ar
rival of the transports carrying the
10th and other units to the theater of
war.
At the last meeting of the members
of the Stoughton Credit association,
held at the city hall Wednesday night,
it was decided by ballot to continue the
association as it is. The large major
ity of those present and voting were OF
the opinion that the association, which
has been in existence as an Independent
organization for the past three years,
should not be absorbed by the newly
formed Clown and Country assocla-
ton.

Charles Pfaff1in brought to town last
Friday morning buffalo fish weighing
So pounds. The monster was caught In
Lake Koshkonong in one of Pfaff1in' S
fyke nets and is thought to be the big
gest fish of it's kind ever caught in the
United States. 1t was shipped to Chas.
Lines & Co., New York City. Some
people think buffalo fish and carp are
alike, which is not the case. Carp are
imported fish and are not so good eat
ing as the buffalo fish. Meat from the
latter species is nearly as palatable as
game fish.
When finished, our new Main street
bridge will present beautiful appear
ance. Work on filling up the five
arches so that the concrete foundation
for the creosoted block driveway can
be laid will be started soon. Then the
fit. sidewalks and concrete spindle
ratings will be built. The city puts in
the driveway, walks and ratings. Ex-
actly 5, 400 tons of concrete were used
in making the arches and 2,752 steel
rods weighing 80, $40 lbs. run through
the concrete and act as binders. One
would naturally think that an all steel
bridge would be cheaper than this
enormous bulk of cement and sand, but
the plans give the concrete little the
advantage in cost.

Chinese canaIs.

At what period the Chinese began to
dig canals, there is no authentic rec
ord to prove. Sometimes it seems as
if these remarkable people must al
ways have had canals and other works,
SO long have they been familiar to
them and SO well established have they
been as part of the country as the
men from the Occident first visited it..
One thinks of the Grand Canal Of
China and the Great Wall of China to-
gether, although, OF course, they have
nothing whatever to do with each 9TH
er, except that they are both ancient
and remarkable works Of the Chinese
people.

the death of A. J. Merrifeld at River
side, CAL, aged 62. He was brother
of the Misses Alzina and Nema and the
late Bryant Merrifield and was an old
resident of this section.
Mrs. John Arnold was overcome by
gas escaping from her coal stove Sun
day morning and was barely able to
call help. She was quite sick for a
while but is recovering nicely. Her
sons, David and Harry Arnold of Mer-
rifield's Corners, were called there Sun
day on account of her Illness.
Milton is sure not a dry town at
present. 1t is flooded the worst III
years. Many cellars are filled with
water. The park is one lake of water
The school house is surrounded and
there was, no school Wednesday and
Thursday and the prospects are not
very favorable for the water to settle
enough to reopen the school Friday.
This is an excellent time to settle the
question of drainage.
There Is more Catarrh in this section

cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions.
You become constipated. The sood you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This infiames the stom-
ach and causes nausea, vomiting and a
terrible headache. Take Chamberlain S
Tablets. They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach and you will
soon be as we'll as ever. They only
cost quarter.
