MUSCODA

Travellers along this division OF the
C. M. & ST. P. railroad are comment
ing on the beauty of our illuminated
Christmas tree which is very con-
spicuous from the windows of passen-
ger trains. The colored lights and the
large star at the apex make an IN
spring spectacle.
One of the largest life insurance
policies ever issued has recently been
taken by Edward Young, OF Madison
for a sum of $1,500,000, payable to
companies in which he is interested
Mr.. Young was a former Muscoda
boy. and is engaged in the lumber
business in which he has attained
phenomenal success.
A lightweight scrapper OF Rlchlano
county, who has had liking for MUS
coda and spent much of his time here,
took exceptions to some sharp crltl-
cism from one of our business men
on Christmas morning and proceeded
to "clean up" on him. 1t is said the
little man was full of booze, but the
evidence of his encounter gives rise TO
the belief that he was Full-o'-Pep II
NOT frIl of booze His victim was not
taken TO hospital nor even lncapacl-
tated but shows unmistakable signs
of being in a mans size scrap NO ar
rests were de.-ProgresslVe.

Silver Cart Wheel to Take
The Place of Dollar Bill

WASHINGTON-Th good old $40
bills average of life has been short
ened two months, Asst. Sec of the
Treasury Dewey has informed the
house appropriations committee.
AS for that matter, Dewey said, the
life of any given piece of currency to-
day is two months less than formerly.
The reason is that bills used to be
made of 100 per cent linen rags. Print
ing of bonds in war time used up all
these rags, and the new money is be-
ing made out of cotton. The govern
ment pays $82S,000 year for new
paper money.
The treasury is attempting to pop
ularize the silver cart wheel in order
to give it chance to accumulate a
stock of properly seasoned paper on
which to print currency.
Thousands of silver dollars were
put into circulation Christmas, and
the treasury hopes they will continue
to be used in increasing quantities.

PRAIRIE DU CHEN

The ice harvest started at Prairie
du Chen on Monday, December 30,
and it bids fair to be the finest and
clearest ice packed for several years.
The extreme steady cold all through
December has produced a CONCEALED
product that is fourteen inches thick
and clear and firm. The Erdenberger
Bros have a large crew cutting and
storing the splendid crop.-Press.
Prairie du Chien's tax rate will be
$34.62 per thousand of assessment,
and is very near the limit, for the
charter does not allow a rate of more
than $500 per thousand for Prairie
du CHEN. The total tax to be raised
in the city this year is S182,202.50,
or a trifle less than $1,000 over last
year, when the total was $1S2,14200.
Elmer Herold and wife, who have
been teaching at Kankakee, Ill, since
September, spent Christmas at the
home of his father and with other
relatives in the city and are today
leaving for Potosi to visit Mrs. Her
ODDS father. Elmer and wife, who
spent two years in the Philippines,
have been offered a 1attering posi-
ton to return for five year period
in government service, thought they
are quite undecided as to accept for
they have several splendid offers in
this country which would be almost
as good financially.
Sunday morning, about ten o'clock,
the fire department was called to the
home of James Mooney on N. Mime
sofa street, where the owner had
used live Goals to thaw out some wa
ter pipes and apparently one of these
Goals had dropped into some burlap
packing and set the building on fire.
The damage was estimated by Chief
Mellinger to be between $500 and
$500 and would have been much
greater had it not been for the fact
that the firemen used chemicals only
in extinguishing the blaze. With the
thermometer STANDING several degrees
below zero it was hard work for the
firemen to fight. though they did
splendid work.-Courier.
