A BIG FAILURE.
William Wilson, a Heavy Wisconsin
Lumber Dealer, Assigns.
The Assets More lhan Sufficient 10
Meet the Indebtedness.

Capt. William Wilson, of Menomonie,
Wis, made an assignment for the bene-
fit of his creditors on the 18th. This
will be great surprise to many. VIII
son is one of the oldest and most prom
inent business men in Northwestern
Wisconsin, and one of the founders and
principal promoters of the firm of the
Knapp, Stout & Co. Company of
Menomonie. For eight years past he has
been directing his business toward 9th
er enterprises, and has become men,
Der of several corporations doing busi-
ness at other points. Some of those
met with business reverses, occasioned
by fire, floods, and depre citation in the
value of lumber. Mr.. Wilson indorsed
the paper of those corporations for
quite large amount. The companies
failing to meet the demands when due,
he became liable as indorser. The
aggregate amount of such claims
was more than he could meet, and to
prevent sacrifice of his property, and
that all creditors may be paid, he has
made an assignment for the benefit of
his creditors. His liabilities, by reason
of the endorsement of paper that has
and will become due, are not far from
100000. His own personal assets are
largely in excess of this, and the assets
of the Pioneer Lumber Company, whose
paper he has endorsed to large
amount will nearly pay it's liabilities.
The assignments OF the Pioneer Lum-
Der Company rendered the assignment
by him unavoidable. His financial en-
barrassments will not afect. the Knapp,
Stout & Go. Company, and those in
his assignee will have no difficulty in
paying all creditors in full. The ass
ignee is T. B. Wilson, of the firm of
the Knapp, Stout & Co. Company.

In 1862 Miss Virginia Miller,

ried to Henry Acres, a handsome and
well-to do farmer. Their married life was
all that could be desired, and two
bright boys blessed the union. In
1866 Acres disappeared without bidding
his wife goodbye, since which time un-
til to-day his whereabouts has been un-
known to all his former acquaintances,
Ten years ago his wife, who
had mourned him as dead,

wended its way with stereotyped regu-

He was supposed to be worth nun
dred thousand dollars, and he Aattered
himself that when he slept an hour la
ter than usual in the morning all the
business in the city waited for him to
get out of bed. When letter arrived
a few days ago demanding his presence
in New England for three or four weeks
he besitated to go. He knew JUST how
broken up the city would be, and he
had his fears that nothing would be
done in the paving line, and that all
building would at once stop dead still.
However, the prominent citizen at
length decided to 60, and he got off
quietly. Nobody rushed out to stop
him and beg him to postpone his journey,
and as far as he has since learned the
council has passed no resolutions of re-
gret. He returned the other evening,
and great was his surprise to find the
city still there. 1t hadn't strayed or
been stolen. was The city hall hadn't
tumbled down, and he couldn't find
grass growing in any of the business
streets. This was bad enough, but as he
walked up the street he met a friend,
who called out:
Hello! Blank, going away?"
No, sir; I have just returned from a
months trip to New England
Indeed! Why, I hadn't even missed
you"
A few steps further on he encountered
another, who was still more surprised
to hear that he had been absent, and
added:
.And the papers didn't even mention
the factl"
The prominent citizen reached home
to find everything running as smoothly
and satisfactorily as when he lett. It
was great shock to him. but the climax
came when he was called to the door
to see an humble. BLOCKING man who
said:

seller takes ferry fares. A few minutes
before IL o'clock the occupants of the
outer room we're a pretty young woman
in gypsy hat on one side of the room
and fat German with gun and dog
on the other side. Pretty soon two
well-dreseed young men pushed open
the door, stood and stared at the young
woman, and finally sat down and kept
their eyes on her while they pretended
to read the morning newspapers. Other
young men went through the same per-
formance.
At II O'Clock there was q row of rcen
staring at the girl, and she began to be
nervous. She pulled out dainty
handkerchief and passed it rapidly over
her face. 1t slipped from her grasp and
fell to the floor. The young men
dropped their newspapers into their
laps and focused their eyes across the
room. The girl grew red in the face.
and it was redder after she stopped and
recovered her handkerchief. Then she
glanced Indignantly at the young men
across the room, gathered up three
bundles, and went out into the open
air. The young men bounded to their
feet and fiattened their noses against the
transparent window-panes in the doors
that swung to behind her.
If the young men had turned around
at that instant and looked through the
passageway into the inner room they
would have seen another young woman
drop handkerchief as middle-aged
man with plug hat paid his ferry fare
and passed inside, and they would have
seen the two 60 on to the ferryboat to-
gether and sail away.
Ten minutes afterward handsome
gray-haired man joined the young
woman outside of the ferry-house and
talked with her moment. Then they
entered the ,ferry-house, and the gray.
haired man scowled at the young men,
who were so absorbed in their news.
papers that they did not see him. The
girl called the gray-haired man papa as
he was buying tickets to Newark, and
as they passed out of sight beyond the
passageway the young men glanced al
each other in a sheepish way, and one
by one found their feet and went out.

Early varieties of potatoes should be
planted either very early or very late.
The idea is to have the tubers form either
before extremely hot weather or after the
hottest has passed. The only objection 10
planting early potatoes even as late as the
first of July is the difficulty in keeping
the seed in good condition until that late
date. There is time enough to mature a
good crop with seed planted any time in
