About Newspapers.

An exchange has this to say regard
ing the running of a newspaper: A
popular delusion must be dispelled
Newspapers do not live upon air and
water. The charming way which peo-
pie say "please put this in your paper,
it will SO benefit the cause, and please,
Mr., Editor you can do this for moth
ing, it will be such help" is very
touching, and unless the editor is a
cold blooded brute has It's effect. A
paper has to do much for the public
benefit, the public should do som ething
for them. No other business men are
called on every day Of their lives to
give part and parcel of their substance
for the benefit of the general public
and all sorts of charities. What pa
pers should have is law that should
exempt them from all debts and claims
OF first lien, like builders lien. In
short, let the papers receive from the
state what they are compelled to do
nate. Again, people, many cf them.
make their own prices, they claim it
was so much or it was only to go in so
long and the Timbuctoo Gazette does
it for one-fourth, and all kinds of eva
sion to pay what they owe. People
must understand that it costs money
and lots of it to run a newspaper. The
old time methods must be dispensed
with.

consisting of DR.. Phillips, of Stevens
Point, DIR. Gregory, of Plover, DIR.
Calkins, of Waupaca and DR.. Witter,
of this city, made personal examina-
ton of the prisoner and found him to
be insane. They so testified under
oath, on Tuesday morning,
after which the Judge rendered his
decision to the effect, that from the
evidence produced at Wausau, by
both physicians and witnesses, and the
present testimony of this board of
physicians, all of whom he considered
able, 1t is the order OF this court that
the prisoner be confined in the Insane
Asylum, at Oshkosh, until such time
as the authorities of that institution
consider him sane. NJ. A. Hurley
appeared for the prisoner and B. j.
Fink for the state.
If the young man is truely insane
(and we believe him to be SOD the
Court has made the only disposal
possible of him. The case is a real
sad one, not only for the insane boy,
but for his immediate relatives and
friends. Mr.. Thayer was taken to the
Oshkosh Asylum in accordance with
the order of the Court.
