HUHHARD, < f deedsburg, Wis., was here again on Monday, looking after /< he welfare of his parents, and made our sanctum a pleasant call. He is superin­ tendent of butter factories for the Elgin Creamery Company, who have 140 fac­ tories in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, ^birty-six of which are under the Imm<- diate supervision of Mr. Hubbard. He has iust returned from,a meeting of the National Creamery Buttermakers' Asso­ ciation, he'd at Sionx Fills, S. 1). The Association was largely attended, the total number of entries b< ing 610, total to prorate 34, total per centage 5.58. The El^in Creamery Company, repre­ sented by jVr/ Hubbard, had total entries 7, total to pro-rate 7, total per centage 100. Thus it will be seen that the creameries under his charge stood 100 per centage, the balance of the entries was only a little over half that. He also won the sweepstakes prize. Mr. Hub­ bard also has a handsome gold medal awarded him at the Wisconsin State Fair for 1898, for the best tub of creamery butter. Also received the highest award on the same at the Omaha Exposition. Mr. Hubbard is a practical man at the business rind probably has organized and put„«oore factories in successful opera­ tion than any one man in the North west. He has that push and goaheaditiveness that will succeed in any kind of business. The Elgin Cieamery Company are for- i unate in being able to secure so able a representative. ^THE Insurance A djueter was at Pista- • qua Bay on Tuesday, fixing up the \ineurance on the Moleen Cottage, that (was lately destroyed by fire at that 1 nl ace. * / E N .

Aurora's successful photographers claims to have worked a great change in the expressions of women who have come to him by advising them to go cvto sleep 6very night with a smile on their faces. This photographer claims, and it seems quite plausible, that the lines of the face can be trained into pleasant curves just as easily and mechanically as the hair can be brushed one way or the other. I' is all a matter of habit. AND it came to pass that af'er be had advertised his goods there came unto him great multitwdes from all the region round about"and did buy of him.

Wollert, in the insane ward of the state penitentiary, at Kankakee. The terrible murder of her stepdaughter by Mrs. Wollert, in this village, is still fresh in the minds of our citizens.

A LITTLE boy in a neighboring town was required to write an essay the other day. "The Newspaper" was his subject and here is the result: "I don't know how newspapers came to be in the world.

'•.Don't Tell Them Whnre Ton Found Me " The above is the name of a new song issued on the following incident: The Rev. Thos. Delaney, when Chaplain of a large State Penitentiary, while passing the hospital ward was called to the bed­ side of a dying convict. The last words of this unfortunate youth were: "Father, I see you do not know me, but you know me well and my family. I will die to­ night." I prepared his soul's exit into eternity and whilst his hands were clasped in mine his last request was made: "In my dying moment promise me what I will ask." I here gave him my word; be then revealed his parentage who thought him dead. "Nov give me yonr word that you will send my body home, but don't tell them where you found me." I sent the body home to another state, but they never knew where I fonnd him. The Groene Music Publishing Co., 32 E.
