REV. W. J. MKAY DELIVERS ADDRESS SHORT NEWS STORIES OF A DAY IN PORTAGE Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday; not much change in temperature. Better Not Get Dyspepsia BIG BOATS REACH THE MISSISSIPPI we GRAND AND RAPIDS SAFELY NAVIGATE WISCONSIN.

ANOTHER CASE OF BEING MISTAKEN? OR IS SOMEBODY DELIBERATELY FALSIFYING? If you can help it. Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, bf effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But dont trifle with Indigestion. ROUSSEAU POST RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF E. D.

COE Following are the resolutions passed by Rousseau Post G. A. R. in recording the death of Department Commander E. D.

Coe of Whitewater, Whereas, Death' has invaded our ranks, and removed one of the most honored and useful of our comrades of the G. A. EL, one who at their annual encampment, the G. A. placed at the head of the department, as Department Commander, our Comrade E.

Coe, and Whereas, Comrade Coe has occupied Important posititions of trust In the Grand Army, and always sought the best Interest of the comrades, and Whereas in his death the G. A. K. has sustained a loss which Is irreparable, therefore Resolved. That it Is with deep sorrow, we chronicle the death of Comrade Coe.

Resolved, That our sorrow is deepened because in his death, we have lost not only a comrade, but a friend who was Interested in every comrade of theG. A. R. Resolved, That we claim the right to be sharers in the sorrow that has fallen so heavily npon the afflicted family, and therefore our deepest sympathy goes out. in their behalf.

Resolved, That as a special expression of our sorrow, our altar be draped for thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family at Whitewater, that they be spread upon our minutes and be published in our city papers. GEO. W. CASE, WILSON KILMER, DR.

J. M. JOHNSTON, A great many people who have trifled with Indigestion, have been sorry for It when nervous or chronlo dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone la subject to Indigestion.

Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound aud healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sonrness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronlo tired feeling yon need Kodol. And then the quicker you take Kodol the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepBln dyspepsia tab-lets," physics, are not likely to be of much benefit to you, in digestive aliments.

Pepsin is only a partial digester and physics are not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect digester. If you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of all kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well as we do. Nature and Kodol wlU always care a sick stomach but In order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That Is what Kodol does rests the stomach, while the stomach gets well.

KILLS BINDING PLANT SCHEME Assembly Votes Down Bill Providing for Equipment of Building. The binding twine plant scheme for Wisconsin is dead.

Despite the fact that $125,000 has been spent in constructmg a factory at the state prison in which to manufacture binding twine with convict labor, the assembly at Madison yesterday decreed that the state should not embark in this uncertain business. By killing the Chinnock bill providing for the completion and equipment of the plant and passing the Curtis bill repealing the law establishing the factory and also killing the Towne bill appropriating $350,000 for a revolving fund to run the institution, the assembly put a quietus on the scheme and then clinched it by refusing to reconsider. Assemblyman Towers voted for the measure and Assemblyman Haight against it. The only hope of the proponents ef the binding twine scheme now lie3 in the slim chance of securing favorable action upon a bill in the senate providing an appropriation of $400,000 for a revolving fund. With the opposition holding a majority of six votes in the assembly this is a forlorn hope.

Telephone 13 Engineer Mann Hands Oshkosh North-Western a Big Bunch of Rot or Perhaps Reporter Eats Too Much Rare- bit and Dreams. 'v The Oshkosh Northwestern indulges in another pipe dream in telling how easily Engineer Mann made the trip of inspection up the Fox river and how he found everything in first class condition. Nothing is said about how his steamer could not get over the bar at the mouth of Neenah creek, about how the United States official was compelled to abandon bis ship, take a rowboat to Governor's bend lock, a mile and a half up Btream, and then hire E. B. Maltby, one of the well known agriculturists of the town of Ft.

Winnebago, to drive him to Portage. These facts are entirely mssing. Heres the dope The Northwestern prints: The government property and works along the Fox river from Green Bay to Portage is in first clast condition, and outside of the usual spring repair work, few changes are necessary. That sums up the findings of United States Engineer L. M.

Mann, who returned Thursday noon from a trip of inspection on the Fox river. Engineer Mann made the trip on the government steamer Fox. He enjoyed the advantage of excellent weather conditions from the first day out to the last. Mann started last Thursday from Green Bay.

Mann. The first stage of the tour was Brought a close Saturday night when the Fox tied up at the Chicago Northwestern dock in this city. "Monday the upper river tr.p was started, and the steamer; made its way to Portage. Launch owners will be interested to know that the Fox, drawing almost four feet of water, bad no trouble in reaching the city where a government canal connects ithe waters which lead respectively to4 th9 Great lakes and to the gulf of Mexico the Fox and Wisconsin rivers The steamers Grand and Rapids left Portage Tuesday to pass down the Wisconsin river to the At Portage the big steamers from Michigan had their own stern paddle wheels fitted in place, and from that port they were able to proceed under their own power. The vessels left Portage a day before the arrival of the Fox.

Inasmuch as the water in the' Wisconsin is reported at '3 good stage ltia not' anticipated that the down-bound steamers will have trouble with the river bottoms. Mr. Mann states that the government dredge, conveyed by the tug Wolf, is at work dredging out the bar this side of Portage, formed by the entrance of the Neenah river into the Fox. Mr. Mann says that the dredge will work toward continuing the regularly assigned work of deepening the channel of the Fox river.

The Fox river provides for a six foot channel as far as Montello, seventy-five miles above this city, and a four foot channel from Montello to OBITUARY. Bello Haycock. Belle Haycock, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry $.
