Pill HAS LEFT NO II FOR THE PEOPLE A NEWSPAPER has not made rapid progress on account of the cold weather, and there has been lost to quite an the early season first promised. Gra'ss is also in about the same condition as wheat. At present it is about one wetd: earlier than one year ago in South Dakota. In spite of the continued cool weather there is nothing discouraging in the condition. In fact everything looks encouraging, for the grain already sown has a good strong root.

All the smaU'grain has been sown this territory and the early wheat is up about two inches in height. It shows a good stand and color. A trip through the territory show's one fact in particular, and that is that good farming is general. Conditions in this BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY JMTAV W. V.

KIDDER Daily by Carrier Daily by Mail "Entered as second-class matter June 22, 1904, at the Post Office at La Crosse, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879." Special Representatives: Payne Young, Chicago, 948 Marquette Bldg. New York City, 103 Potter Bildg. 4 MR. HOST'S ADMINISTRATION. A forecast of the annual report of State Insurance Commissioner Zeno M.

Host regarding fire insurance in this state shows that Mr. Host regards the mutual fire insurance companies organized under the laws of the state to be of particular benefit. He shows that they furnish reliable insurance at practically cost to the companies, reducing the premiums about 50 per cent. It has been the policy of the present commissioner to encourage and foster these institutions. There can be no question as to the correctness of Mr.

Host's views on this subject. These companies are always favored in rural communities, because they have quite uniformly furnished indemnity against loss at approximately the figure necessary to pay losses and continue the business only. In fostering these companies the state insurance department is putting money in the pockets of property owners in the exact proportion of the saving between premium's charged for maintenance alone and premiums charged to net a profit to the insurer. But it is in the matter of life insurance rather than fire insurance that Mr. Host has earned his spurs.

In his notable battle with the Equitable, though defeated, be had the honor of taking steps that foreshadowed the present crisis, in the affairs of that apparently much debauched concern. A technical point, the construction of an abstruse legal dictum, defeated Mr. Host. But no court will ever be able to wipe out the impression that has been made regarding- the abused corporation that is in the throes of as nasty a domestic squabble as ever furnished red-ink leads to the spicy dailies. Host, remember, spoke out even before the redoubtable Thomas W.

Lawson. And the services of Mr. Host should be remembered and approved with as much fervor as if his logical contentions had not been ignored as the result of a legal quibble. KRand MRJ. JNa a ATKINSON.

Independence, no- Remarkable Cures Efrectea By Pe-ru-na. Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. ilartman received the following letter My wife has been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her case has bailled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing.

She was also passing through that most critical period in the lifo of a woman change of life. "I June, 1895, 1 wrote to yon-abont her casei Yon advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which wo at onco commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. "About the same time I' wrote you about my own case of which had boenof twenty-five years' standing. At times I was almost past going. commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me.

Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. "--John O. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1, 1000, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Peruna: will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna.

I am still cured of John O. Atkinson, Independence, Box 272. Fiona MRS, iTaritpOVJit Mrs. Alia Bchwandt, Sanborn, writes: "1 have been troubled with rheuma ttsm and catarrh for twenty-five years. Could not sleep day or.

night. After having used Peruna I can sleep and nothing bothers me vow. If I ever am affected with any kind of sickness Peruna will be the medicine I shall use. My son was cured of catarrh of the larynx by Peruna." "-Mrs. Alia SchwandL Why G2d People are Especially Liable to Systemic Catarrh.

When old ago comes on, catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh la almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna, is the, only remedy yet devised that entirely meets these cases.

Nothing but an effective systemic remedy can cure them.

"I was down the river last week," continued Mr. Gerard, "and met with the managers of several large plants. All told the same story too much yield and not enough demand. The indications are conditions will remain in their present state until the fall, when a general change is expected." These rumors will bring out many men who have made their living by digging clams, but who will have nothing to do during the summer months. The stage of water is satisfactory for clamming and the diggers are greatly disappointed.

The slack demand does not mean, however, that no shells will be brought, but the amount will be cut considerably. Madison The 100th anniversary of the death of Schiller will be commemorated by appropriate exercises at the University of Wisconsin on May 9, in Assembly hall. The program will include an address in English by Prof. Carruth of the University of Kansas on "Schiller and America," an address in German by Prof. Voss on Schiller's "Vermachtniss," and the reading of an original poem entitled "Schiller, 1859-1903," written by Julius Gugler of Milwaukee.

The Tribune stands for Greater La Crosse no other newspaper in La Crosse does. MILWAUKEE, May 3- No wilt has been found among the private papers of the late William Plankin-ton. Members of the family think that no will was made. "Mr. Plankinton had expressed the belief that a will was unnecessary, except when it was desired to make some special gift.

I have' heard him say that he thought the law provided for the division of property very fairly," said Jeremiah Quin, manager of the Plankinton estates, last night. "In case there is no will, the widow will get one-third of the revenues of the estatesand she will share equally with the children in other properties. I have not yet looked in his strong box for the will. It hardly seemed "proper until after the The. funeral services, though marked by extreme simplicity, were notable for-the large attendance of well-known Milwaukee people representing' various organizations, business and social, with which Mr.

Plankinton, was connected. A telegram of condolence was received by the family from J. Ogden Armour, Chicago, and George II. Webster, P. D.

Armour's former partner and a close personal friend of Mr. Plankinton, was in, attendance. Flowers filled the great entrance hall of the residence at 1605 Grand avenue, armfuls of roses and white lilies being banked against the walls and around the family portraits, and completely hiding the casket, which stood against the east wall between the entrance door and the staircase. It was a-state Casket, heavily carved and covered with black broadcloth, copper lined with an inner lining of biscuit-tufted white silk. The handles and name plate were of ebony and oxydized silver, the name plate having merely "William Plankinton, 1844-1905." On the casket lay a great bunch of lilies of the valley, Mr.

Plankinton's favorite flower, the gift of eremiah Quinn and Miss Elizabeth Lane, his stenographer. The family, with G. II. Webster and Jeremiah Quinn and his family, were at the head of the stairs, and the other mourners filled the lower rooms of the house. The Rev.

William Austin Smith, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, read the Episcopal burial service, which Mr. Plankinton had always admired for its extreme simplicity, though he was a pillar of the Calvary Presbyterian church. The elders of Cavalry church were present in a body. The Wisconsin Consistory quartet from the Arion club, composed of Prof.

Daniel rrotheroe, Wilmer Sieg, O. F. Bird and H. S. Hughes, sang several numbers, opening the service with "Nearer, My God, to Thee." After the service for the dead read by the Rev.

Mr. Smith the choir sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," and followed the Lord's prayer and prayer for the dead "The Christian's Good Night" was sung, and the benediction pronounced. The interment at Forest Home cemetery was private, only the few near friends and relatives occupying the twenty-five carriages which followed the hearse attending. The Rev. William Austin Smith read the Episcopal committal service.

CROPS ARE SLOW BECAUSE OF WEATHER Although the crop season opened about two weeks earlier than usual this year in Wisconsin and the Da-kotas, one week of this start has already been lost because of the continued cold weather. This is the conclusion drawn in the summary of the reports of the crop conditions received from along the lines of the Northwestern railway in these states. This summary sent out today contains the following: A careful investigation of the conditions in South Dakota through the country shows that the wheat is coming forward slowly but uniformly. It PUSH THE CARNIVAL. The matter of the street carnival is still engrossing the attention of the merchant public.

It should be pushed through with vigor. It is a valuable enterprise, one which will bring advertising for the city and money to its business people. Much of it will be outside money that will be left here, and that is the money that we are after most. Incidentally, it has come to us that members of the Interstate Fair Association are aggrieved because The Tribune has, they believe, "knocked" the fair. We protest that we have been misinterpreted, and we take this opportunity to assure the association that what a public newspaper can do to assist this meritorious organization, The Tribune will gladly do.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. When fair time approaches, the fair managers are invited to use this paper as freely as if they owned it to herald the glad news. Truly The Tribune would be loath indeed to -be suspected of unfriendliness to so valuable an enterprise as the La Crosse Interstate Fair. But to presume that we cannot be friendly to the proposed carnival and to the fair at the same time is illogical. We are for both.

This is no country town; it is a big city fit for big things and many of them. We cannot belittle the carnival for the sake of the fair any more than we can belittle the fair. for the sake of the carnival. Let them be taken up in the order of their coming, and let them be handled with push and intelligence. Both will be successful.

A new move is on foot as result of the Brighton election, in which the Ministerialist candidate was defeated, to effect some closer union between the Balfour and the Chamberlain sections of the unionist aprty. PRETTY ACTRESS-WIFE OF HARRY THAW The supply of clam shells on the market has overwhelmed the pearl button factories and the industry is decidedly calm. According to Superintendent Gerard of Dubuque the Iroquois plant on the levee from at Dubuque is only working at a little over half force.

"There is talk of the supply of shells dying. out," said Mr. Gerard the other day, "but I harly think it is as the yield so far has greatly exceeded the demand. In fact all along the river the factories complain of the poor demand for buttons and incidentally the slump in the shell business is noticed." Clam diggers in this vicinity report a satisfactory supply of shells on hand. The talk of a dying industry appears to be all bosh.

"As long as there is a demand for the shells," said a digger, "the market will be filled with On all sides it appears the shells have increased enormously, in fact, contrary to rumors, have been put to flight by the returns made by STEER STAMPEDES Panic prevailed at the. afternoon Af I AUDIENCE IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN BOXES hvv 'fAvfil iUw cerformance of thp hnrcp in Midison F.nnarc narHon vr vri- Thursday, when a wild, long horned Texas steer leaped out of the arena, climbed two' Eights'-of stairs and ran three-quarters of the way around the Garden, back of the boxes, pursued by cowboys with ropes, and leaving hysterical women and men in its wake.
