Below we give the lumber of thou
sands of lumber and shingles that had
gone down the river from above and in
Guiding Grand Rapids, up to last Fri
day. A small feet has passed this
place since then, but the list includes
nearly all the lumber in the hands Of
lumbermen when the springs opera
tons commenced Wausau manufac-
turers, as well as those contiguous to
the Valley road, expect to ship largely
hereafter by that line, and are there
fore piling what is now being sawed,
instead Of putting it into the river as
heretofore Should Wausau's hopes
and expectations in regard to the road
be realized, it Is possible that not more
than three or four millions more will be
sent down the river during the season.
Should this not be the case, however,
of course the up-rivermen will have to
resort to the old channel again. Fol
lowing are the figures:

THE WOMAN suffrage question is
still agitating the public mind, though
We scarcely realize the fact because the
question is no longer new. The fact
that the women are persistently insist

when we see influential legislators rise
in their seats, and advocate the cause
OF woman with earnest eloQuence as
was the case in the Senate on the cues

A County Clerk in a rural town
had a pet calf; which he was training
up in the ways of an OK. The calf
walked around very peaceably under
one end of the yoke, while Mr.. Clark
held up the other end. But in an I'M
fortunate moment the man conceived
the idea Of putting his own neck in
the yoke, to let the calf see how it
would seem to work with a partner;
this frightened the calf, and elevating
his tail and voice, he struck a ''dead
run for the village, and Mr.. Clark
went along with his head down and his
plug hat in hand, straining every nerve
to keep up, and crying out at the top
of his voice, "Here we come blast
our fool souls Head US somebody :"
