SHOT WHILE DEER HUNTING.

S. w. Bailey, merchant at Pittsville,
was shot while deer hunting last Satur-
day with party of four. From the
best information we could obtain the
shooting occurred as follows: Messrs.
Bailey and Frank Wirsch were stationed
about twenty rods of each other on
either side of a runway. They were up
on stumps in full sight Of each other.
Messrs. Ralph Smith and the Whintler
Bros. who formed the balance of the
party acted as drivers. They drove
two deer down the runway between
Messrs. Bailey and Wirsch when they
both commenced firing. Bailey fired
two shots and Wirsch three, the third
one Of which is supposed to haye dealt
the fatal blow. The shooting is account
ed for by Wirsch getting greatly excited
and firing before he had aim. After
firing his third shot he went towards
the place where the deer stood, when
he heard groans, and commencing call
ING Bailey but received no reply. He
was greatly shocked to find him welter-
ing in his own blood with a bullet
wound in his chest. He was in the
struggle of death, bleeding from nose
and mouth. The party was soon to-
gether and mourned the unfortunate
accident. One of the party proceeded
to Baskerville where jury was sum-
moned and proceeded to hold an in
quest which resulted in finding that Mr.
Bailey came to his death by an acci-
dental shot from gun in the hands Of
Frank Wirsch while deer hunting
/ Mr.. Bailey leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his unfortunate fate
He was a man who stood we'll in his
community, commander of the G. A. R
Post in Pittsville, and a member of the
Masonic order, under whose auspices
he was buried Tuesday.

MARSHFIELD'S VALUATION.

The Centralia Enterprise in comment
ing about the county equalization, spoke
of the increase of Marshfield's valuation
and the reasons for the increase, which
called forth the following from the
Marshfeld News:
''It is high time that the other end of
the county learned that "thoughtful
care" and 'justlce' does not exist sole
ly in the effort to increase the valuation
OF Marshfield. The time has come when
our people will not quietly submit to
further lmposltions. MaGshfield will
cheerfully stand its fair proportion of
the county's assessment, and possibly a
little more, but it does object most SER
iously to the injustice which character
lied the recent action of the board. AS
compared with the twin cities Marsh
field has always been high. 1t is doubt
ful II any two cities IN northern Wiscon-
sin can show as much aggregate wealth
as can they, per capita. The value of
their Water-power alone is computed to
be worth more than all our property,
both personal and real, while the wealth
that fills the Golfers of their citizens
would build and people two such cities
as ours if applied to legitimate uses.
The wealth of Marshfeld is its push and
enterprise. Every dollar is made to
serve the purpose of two. 1t refuses to
be a drone in the hive of commerce.
Evidence of this can be seen on every
side. Not In any one of our citizens.
but in all, in our factories and in our
business places, in our homes and in
our public institutions, each contributes
its share towards developing in decade
the same amount Of territory that al the
other end represents the work of over
half a century. fit is ENTERPRISE, en-
ergy and push, you would make the
basis Of equalization our valuation is toe
low, and we Will cheerfully acquiesce in
an increase, but let the motive be
known"
Whenever Marshfield is called upon
to stand her share of the county burden
in any form she ALWAYS howls about the
''impositions' the twin cities are heap.
ing upon her. There is no disposition
on the part of any one IN the twin cities
to burden Marshfield with any more
than her share, but that she will have
to stand. The twin cities may be dead
in the minds of the editors of the News
but they are, in fact, the most active
corpse they ever tackled. 1t is only il
the near future when the twin cities
will rival the largest cities in northern
Wisconsin. We have the location, the
soil, the water-power and privileges
the wealth, the grit and disposition tc
develope our resources which we vii
do in due time. There are movement
on foot, and the new railroad is one O
them, that will soon reveal to the News
editor as we'll as the world that Crane
Rapids and Centralia are not dead, bu
active, live cities, and the homes of .
progressive people.

The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be Of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples which in many
cases might easily be done. If some
scholar, who had just contracted a cold,
was brought before the school, so that
all could hear the dry, loud cough and
know It's significance; see the thin
white coating on the tongue and later as
the cold developed, see the profuse
watery eXpectoration and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one of
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of cold were. The scholar
should then be given Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy freely, that all might
see that even severe cold could be
cured in one Or two days, or at least
greatly mitigated, when properly treat
ed as soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedy is famous for its cures OF
coughs, colds and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
