In company with Geo. n Wood we
visited the Nekoosa town and mill site
on Tuesday OF course the town site at
present is in It's primitive state all cover
ed with trees, brush &c Here we
found small shanty hastily constructed
in which a crew Of eight men are to re-
side until they erect a buildingin which
they can live in more comfortable
quarters. The building first in course
of construction will be used for a board
ing house until the hotel building
proper is erected then it will be con-
verted back to barn use. It is to be
30x40 with IS foot posts.
The hotel building will come next
and the upright will be 32xS0 feet with
2+ foot posts and the wing 32x5O feet,
with "A foot posts. The erection Of
these two buildings are in charge of Mr..
Geo. Conely and he is now assisted by
Messcs. John O'Brien, VIII Gardner,
Oliver Trudell. Joseph Long, P. E.
Schuttock. John Turbln is cook.
These people will have the honor of
being the first builders on the Nekoosa
town site. Mr.. Fred Davis has material
on the ground with which he will i'm
mediately erect a store building 20x4O
with 20 foot posts to meet the wants
Of the new settlers.
To reach the town site where the
building is now being done we had to
drive off the main road about 100 rods
right through the brush over road IN
its natural state we'll calculated to settle
ones dinner.
Right opposite the mill site we visited
Geo. n. Woods $50 acre farm upon
which he has one building nearly COM
pleted. This will be occupied Friday
by Mr.. Joseph Balderston and family
who will have what honor there is in
being first settlers in Nekoosa. Next
week the carpenters will commence the
erection of cottage which will be
rented to Mr.. Andrew King, of Centra-
liza, who expects to work there at car
penter work. Mr. Wood has beauti-
full tract of land here lying high and
dry as compared with that surrounding
it.
The Wisconsin river at this point has
high banks from which you can obtain
beautiful view up and down the river
We never had our attention called to
the advantages Of this locality until now
1t is truly magnificent water power
when improved and utilized will make
a nucleus for quite pretty little village.

AN ADROIT CRIMINAL.

The little town of Highmore, S. D. is
stirred from center to circumference
over the confessed criminality of a
woman who has hitherto been deemed
respectable, and in all that pertains to
an honest woman far removed from the
criminal classes. For a number of
months anonymous letters, the contents
aimed at the character of people promi-
nent in social and religious circles, have
been received by numerous people,
until the Synonymous Friend" became
an intOlerable nuisance. Some of them
were simply of maudlin sentimental
character, others were obscene and
scuTrilous and written within the pre-
scTibed limits of the law, and written
for the evident purpose of engender-
ing mischief. Of late quite number
of fires Of undoubted incendiary origin
have occurred and the citizens naturally
coupled the criminalities as the work of
one person by a common sense logic,
and the repeated coincidence Of anony-
nous letters showing envenomed spite
against individuals, and their subse-
quent misfortunes through fires set by
unknown parties, the suspicion gradu-
ally gained credence that Highmore
harbored a desperate criminal
y negro Of the lowest type who has
been hanging around the town for
some time was suspicioned as the only
one vile enough to seek revenge for real
or fancied injuries in this manner
\ feeling of insecurity has prevailed
and deeper deviltries have been appre-
hended. Had the events taken place
in the south probably Judge Lynch
would have been called in.
A few days since a woman living in
the town, an apparently consistent
christian member of the local w. G.
7. I. and with large family of children
looking to her for guidance, made the
voluntary confession that she wrote and
sent the anonymous letters and was
accessory to the burning of the build
ings duplicating the black man in the
latter crime. What the outcome will be
is matter of conjecture.
Among the buildings set on fire was
the State Bank of Highmore which was
saved with most of the contents, the
county court house, and large general
store that burned to the ground.
The above facts reached this office
through private letter to lady visit
ing in the twin cities whose home is in
HighmOre. The crimes are punishable
and season of meditation behind
prison bars will perhaps give her an
opportunity to consider whatever he1
own individual grievances are, lawless
ness and crime will not help to redress
them.

THE WISCONSIN CRANBERRY.


There is no finer berry grown, except,
possibly, in size, than the Wisconsin
cranberry.
It should be known to the ends of the
earth that the American cranberry is
the healthiest fruits grown from the
surface of this globe,
A correspondent of the New England
Homestead, writing to personal friend,
says:
II had often heard that cranberries
were healthful, but not until last fall
and winter did [ get good evidence of
their marked benefit in any particular
disease. We had at that time about
fifty crates of cranberries, and [ gave
notice that I would give them to parties
who would like to have them. Nearly
every family in town had slight or
severe attacks Of grip, and the excep-
tons gave me the hint upon which [
write.
Not one who used cranberry sauce
freely was attacked with this mysterious
disease. When [ first heard of this
exemption, I set about making particu
lar inquiries and in no case did I find
an exception"
He adds: 'FI have no doubt but what
cranberries, properly prepared, are a
remedial agent Of great Importance,
and their free use VIII do much to keep
the human BODY in a healthy state. l
am now instituting inquiries as to the
nature of the acid in the cranberry, and
its action and importance as remedy
and curative agent and can promise you
some interesting developments in that
direction"
The soil on which this fruit grows in
the wild state is muck Of a peculiar
nature. In Wood County, also i'll Mon

nails, axes, hammers, saws and other
tools lost twenty years ago beneath this
soil, on being brought to the surface
and wiped off are as bright as the day
they were lost. Cranberries can be used
as free as apples, and cooked in as many
ways. They are used by the seamen in
the Arctic regions to prevent scurvy and
kindred diseases, and in the late war
our seamen were supplied with them,
the United States realizing their impor-
tance as a matter of health. They are
used in severe cases of erysipelas as a
poultice with wonderful effect, and in
fevers they are Of inestimable value;
have found by actual personal ex-
perience that the expressed juice of a
single cranberry will soothe the parched
| lips and give more lasting relief than
one hundred times the quantity of any
thing else I ever tried. Let any one
who is real thirsty, try chewing a single
cranberry and they viii be surprised at
the effect No doubt it was in this way
that the Indian first learned their value

LENT.

Lent with its spirit of devotion and
sacrifice is nearing it's most significant
period. The forty days before Easter is
observed in all Catholic and oriental
churches as a season of fasting and
prayer before the Easter feasts.
In the Roman and Anglican churches
special services are held, with proper
collects and prayers, and the mind is
brought by degrees through the con-
temptation of the agonies, and sublime
self-renunciation of our Lords passion
ard death, to devoutly celebrate the
after events of his resurrection and
glorious ascension. Only half century
ago most protestant churches counted
it relic of popery to make Easter
Sunday q season of rejoicing to be
evidenced by the outward decorations
of flowers and paintings, by song and
music, and the distribution of eggs
Now most orthodox churches, in the
most intelligent Christian communities
consider it eminently proper to use
these beautiful emblems to show forth
the inward beauty and awakening in
the spirit. Though the spirit Of divine
love blooms, and fades, and becomes
buried as the seasons come and go, by
selfishness, vanity, WOrldliness or the
envy of life, the forty days Of Lent
set apart as time of inward question
ings and self-examination brings repen-
tance and revivifyings Of the spiritual
life. The flower of the spirit is no less
susceptible of growth, and change than
the lilies of the field. Flower and
shrub, tree and blade Of grass, revive
In the breath of spring. So feeling is
not dead but sleepeth, and awaits only
for the Masters touch to awake and in
glory arise.
Lent is the season preceding the
awakening and whether it be observed
literally in the forty days set apart by
the church as a time for uniform OBJ
servance of the rites Of the church.
helpful to spiritual growth, or in the
''protracted meetings." or revival
times" in societies or communities the
desired end seems to be the same.
There are many festivals and obser-
vances that to those not understanding
their meaning or import seem empty
and formal, but a proper understand
ing of them brings out a beauty and
significance worthy of our highest
respect.
Easter Day has been growing in favor
as church festival for the last century
Lent is fast finding place in the time
set apart for special seasons of religious
reviyals in all Christian nations. And
to the followers of Christ who love to
commemorate his birth and resurrection
by gladsome holidays, the day Of his
crucifxioni is held sacred to his memory
and Good Friday is holly set apart to
review the story of the cross and the
agOnies of Gethsamene.
