CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.
La Crosse Chronicle: The idea of the
Ohio legislator to prevent marriages
of persons who are afflicted with a hered
itary di tease, is all very good, bat does
he think the passage of the measure will
stop suoh marriages? Not a bit of it.
It will only transfer the marrkge busi
ness to another state. It will be the
deadest sort of a dead law.
State Journal: It is estimated that
1,000 Wisconsin men will go to Klon
dyke this spring. They will at least
see the country and stock their memories
with experiences. By next winter com
munication will be so oomplete that the
perils will be largely averted, though
broken health was the portion of many
who went to California in the gold
period, much more accessible territory
than the Yukon. The ohief danger is
the demoralization of such a break in a
young man’s life, interfering with his
plans of gradual promotion in a chosen
line, kindling the speculative spirit, and
often shattering his principles.
There is no question but that our cli
mate is changing. The settlement of
the country, with the cutting down of
treee and the drying up of lakes is hav
ing a pronounced effect. Even our cold
est winters now are milder than those of
15 or 20 years Bgo. There was a time
in Minnesota when the snow that fell in
November would be on the ground in
March. But there was one satisfaction
about those days. Everybody could ex
peot the worst and not be disappointed.
It is different now-a-days. We don’t
know what is going to happen next, al
though we may be reasonably sure that
we will have to pay dearly for the mild
ness of this January, probably quite
early in February. When forty below
comes, we may look back with regret to
the beautiful autumn we had last Janu
ary.—St. Paul Dispatch.
Milwaukee Sentinel: Blind obedience
to party decrees may be good enough
doctrine for peanut politicians, but it
has no weight at all with men who are
guided by common sense and principle.
Mauston Gazette: When a man i9
comfortably situated, has a pleasant
home and a business giving him a little
more than a living, it might be well to
think several times before throwing it
for the uncertainties of the Klondvke.
A magazine article recently called at
tention to the fact that the California
gold fields only yielded about S3OO per
year to the man, an income that would
be the basis of nothing but starvation
in Klondyke.
Liquorß come under the provisions of
the new pure food law, according to the
dicision of Dairy and Food Commission
er Adams. The statute forbids all adul
terations in food and drink. Several
weeks ago a Milwaukee liquor dealer Bp
plied to the commissioner to prosecute a
rival dealer who, he said, was selling in
ferior goods under a trade mark indicat
ing them to be the best. Commissioner
Adams has decided what the law means
end will act accordingly. “The tests
which the department will apply to all
cases,” said the commissioner, “are:
Does the liquor contain any element in
jurious to the public health, and ar ■ the
goods adulterated so that the public is
deceived into baying an inferior article
for a superior one?”
Our Madison correspondent assumes
one of his gushj-mushy streaks ugain
this week. He also lapses into a state
of apparent LaFollette paralysis. This
poor fellow must be very hard worked
dishing up weekly doses of executive
puffery and LaFollette bugaboos. The
first is as nauseating as the latter is un
founded. Say, “Orlando,” turn over a
new page. Don’t longer cause readers
to denominate you a tool and a cheerful
idiot (as the Madison Journal is in the
habit of calling people) at one and the
same stroke.
The fact that the forces of democrats,
populists, and silver are to be combined
in the approaching congressional cam
paign make it necoesary that all friends
of sound money and honesty in national
affairs shall work together in the nomi
nation and election of members of con
gress.
Judge E. W. Keyes has been appointed
postmaster at Madison. He was an
painted to the same position in 1861 by
President Lincoln, and served cor.tinu
onely for 21 years.
As psedioted last week by the Censor,
Hon. J. W. Babcock has be mi re-elected
unanimously as ohairman of the con
gressional campaign committee.
Exhibitions of Hypnotism.
Sheboygan and Oshkosh have been
troubled by the hypnotic craze, which
has crept into the public schools. A
few of the boys seem to have developed
the power of putting their mates "under
the influence,'' in a trance, from which,
however, the victims are released by
snapping fingers in their faces on the
part of the gifted hypnotists. Travel
ing jugglers have long astounded audi
ences by this power, but it is some
thing new for job-lot schoolboys to
have the power. Hypnotism has its
place, which is in the domain of medi
cal science and physical research; but
it surely is not with nervous boys and
girls. It distracts attention from their
books, promotes nightmares and is gen
erally demoralising. The traveling fa
kirs are generally disreputable, irre
sponsible fellows, whom one would not
have in his house over night. Some
two years ago there was one of the
hypnotic fraternity traveling about the
state with two young women, one of
whom was accustomed to lie in a hori
zontal position between two chairs,
while the big "professor” broke with
an axe a rock that rested upon her
stiffened body. It was a brutalizing
sight and women fainted every night
when the "act” was done in the
Madison opera house. That “professor"
had a bad face, a face that one could
not shake from his memory, and his
victim looked sick and worn. Whether
it was a trick, or whether it was a
genuine case of superior will power, it
was certainly debilitating business for
the subject and served no useful end
except the profit for the man.
Son e of the recent cases may be de
ceptions. Some years ago a number o:
the big fellows on the Yale rowing
crew had fun with a traveling ma
gician. When he called for volunteers
they climbed up on the stage and pre
tended to yield to his incantations.
Then they were tf.ken with violence.
They smashed the lurnlture, threw the
tables down on the audience and
wrapped the “professor” up in the
stage scenery before he could snap his
fingers before their faces to bring then,

I Io Surprise of All.
Mr. James Jodop, of the drug firm of
Tones & Bon, Oowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King’s New Discovery, says tkut
last winter Lis wife was attacked with
la grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Oowden and Fana
coaid do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into hasty consumption. Hav
ing D.. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to got better from first dose, and
a half dozen sl. bottles cared her sound
end well. Dr. King’s New Discovery
for f cnenmpti n, coughs and colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at E H. Craig &

MANY THINK!
when the Creator said to woman,
“In sorrow shait thou bring forth
children,” that a curse was pro
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering lurk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
ized, in full vigor and strength.

A Church Recognition.
At the annual meeting of the Norwegian
Lutheran Beiitest a Congregation of the city
of Viroqua, bold on the ?7lfi of January, 18!)8,
the undersigned were duly appointed a com
mittee to draft a n-solutii n of thanks to the
ladies' aid society of said congregation, and
in pursuance of said appointment:
Be it resolved, That said Norwegian Luth
eran Bedtesta Congregation hereby tender
to t he Lad :es’ A id society of said congregation
its best, thanks for the pecuniary and oilier
aid, which, as a society, it has rendered the
congregation, in the building and sustaining
of the church edifice, and we are forced to
lhe conclusion that without such aid the con
gregation would not have attained the degree
or prosperity anil Christian fellowship which
it now enjoys.
Further Resolved, That to the young
people’s society of said congregation for the
valuable aid and assistance rendered by the
young people in the same work tlu- congrega
tion Is deeply interested. ('UHLS Ei.i.kfson,

Beware
Of the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo.,
writes: “For six years I have been a
suuerer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, I be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $150.”
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles,
The doctors can do no good, and eveq
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma
nently.
S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable )
A Real Blood Remedy*
is a blood remedy for real blood troubles;
it cures the most obstinate cases of
Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism,
etc., which other so-called blood '.eme
dies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the
root of the disease and forces it out per

The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the nrine,
and as much it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first wav is from imperfect action of the
