What Advertising Does.

The advertising columns of news
paper are among the most important,
for no man really becomes acquainted
even with the news of the daily until he
has thoroughly perused tie advertise
ment, says the Harpers Weekly. They
are the pulse of commerce and universal
activity. They contain not only rare
specimens of human idiosyncrasies, but
afford general view of life in every
possible phrase. They aid the arts and
sciences; they minister to love; they
speak of change; sometimes they excite
smile, sometimes tear. To the sick
man they promise health; to the poor
man they offer wealth; the pleasure
seeker is posted in amusements; the
book buyer learns the title and price of
the last new work; the house hunter
learns of desirable and eligible tenant !;
the traveller of the best means of con-
veyance; the unemployed of employ
ment; in fine, every imaginable want is
suppositiously supplied by the advertis-
ing department of the daily newspaper.

WOMEN ACT.
An Opportunity For The Ladies to
Help in Good Cause.

We received a personal letter from
Mrs. Flora Beall Ginty, of Chippewa
Falls, in reference to women's work in
connection with the Worlds Fair. The
letter will explain itself, therefore we
give 1t publication as follows:
A. L. FoNTAINE, DEAR FRIEND:-When
in Marshtield a few weeks ago on
Worlds Fair work, the ladies of the
Auxiliary Board of your county asked
me to write to you and solicit your CO.
operation in raising the assessment for
the Women's Statuary Fund for Wood
County, the assessment being $4,000.
Mrs. Fred Uphari, of Marshfield, is the
head woman on the Wood County
Auxiliary Board. I told them to 90 to
Grand Rapids and state the case and l
knew you would help them, but l write
to you lest you may not understand the
situation.
We have two Wisconsin girls at work
upon American marble making two
statues to be placed in the Wisconsin
House during the fair, and at the close
to be brought back and placed in some
of our public buildings. These figures
are to be symbolic of the refinement
and enlightenment of the women of
our state in this 10Th Century.
We have so little work done by women
sent in that we propose by an assess
ment of ] cent to each female inhabi-
tant of each county in the state to raise
a sum and purchase bronze, picture,
or some piece of marble statuary, but as
soon as we proposed it each of these
girls sent in a plea to be employed and
each sent in such wonderful ideas, so
beautifully expressed in drawings that
under the advice of dorado Taft, the
sculptor, at tie head of the Chicago
Art Schools, we have let both 60 to
work, and if each Auxiliary Board will
raise their amount either by subscrip-
ton or ball, or literary feast, we
shall have plenty to pay for the beauti-
full work.
| was in their rooms at Jackson Park
about two weeks ago, they had just
completed the plaster casts and they
were strong, heroic, beautiful figures.
Each had peculiar attractiveness that
evidenced the talent of the sculptor,
and [ feel sure we shall be very proud
of the work and the girls.
Some counties have sent in their
assessment, La Crosse, Chippewa, Saw
yer, Douglass, Rock, etc.; some are at
work and others are silent.
Always your friend,
FLORA BEALL GINTY.

nARRIED.

AT the Methodist parsonage Monday
Jan. 23d, by Rev. James Churm Mr..
Daniel Fritszinger Of Port Edwards and
Mrs. Maryetta Couch Of Waukesha.
Mr.. Fritzsinger is one of the old settlers
of this city and during his residence
here, with his former wife, won many
warm personal friends who are glad
that he has found suitable companion
to cheer the lonely life that he has led
since his bereavment.
The lady of his choice is dignified
practical gentle woman apparently
about forty years old. Those who
have the pleasure of her acquaintance
speak Of her in high terms. She was a
widow having one child, daughter,
who, with her husband are teachers in
the State Reform School at Waukesha.

OUR CONTEMPORARY.

We never like to pay any attention to
the Enterprises criticisms of us, but if
our readers will excuse US this time we
will never do it again unless we have
to. Its true that in our hurry we did
not get full list of the amount paid
out for labor in the twin cities but what
we did get was accurate as the pro-
prietors furnished it themselves. How
ever we believe our neighbors would be
in much better business if they supplied
their readers with more news and did
not spend so much of their time critici-
zing their neighbors, while in each
issue they publish they subject them
selves to the same criticism if we had
the time, space and disposition to do so.
In their last issue on the same page
with their criticism of US, in their
"Nekoosa" article they say that
company will build twelve foot dam
with which they will hold a twenty
three foot head of water. We know
its an error and would never think OF
criticising them about it, for it probab-
ly occurred while doing the work in
haste. 1t simply shows the disposition
Of the animal, that's all.

BISHOP BROOKS DEAD.

Bishop Phillip Brooks, of Boston, the
eminent divine, the prince of pulpit
orators died at his home in Boston
Monday Jan. 23d. He was famous for
his liberality of thought, his masterful
eloquence, and for the wonderful per-
sonal influence he exerted over young
men in all classes of life. The Episco-
pal church has lost in Bishop Brooks
its foremost pulpit orator. America
has lost one of its greatest preachers,
the world has lost one whose influence
was felt all over the English speaking
world

DEAL ON FOOT.

MERRILL NEws:-F. L. Tibbits, pur-
chasing agent, of Wilber Lumber Com
pany, of Burlington Wis, was in the
city few days ago negotiating for the
stocks of j. n. Cotter and Cotter &
O'Conners, which were sawed by the
Illinois & Wisconsin Lumber Company
last season. The stock consists of well
assorted merchantable grades, amount
ing to about 100000 feet with about
/, 100000 lath and about the same
amount of shingles Of various grades.
This is the only mill run lot Of lumber
for sale in the city. 1t is probable the
trade will be closed soon. The Wilbur
Lumber Company han died 100000
feet from the same yard last season,
which was purchased from w. A. Scott
and J. n. Cotter.

seems to be our time to lose.

we have an over stock, and that
fact is causing us to make some
what reckless reductions i'll order
that we may have cash in our tills
in place of Winter Goods on our

have been the cruelest.

A NEW COUNTY.

SPENCER TRIBUNE:-If we are to have
new county, is it not about time our
Marshfield friends started the scheme.
Residents have desire to know where
they are going to be at. If Marshield
wants new county, she wants to be up
and stirring, for the legislature will be
burdened with new county schemes.
There are several enterprising towns in
northern Wisconsin, besides Marsh
field, that have a desire to be county
seats.

On account of the election of Mr.. B.

mains in the rooms over the Wood

APPRECIATIVE LETTER.

In another column will be found the

following letter it will be noticed that
Mr.. Thorn is one of their most success

New YORK, Jan. u, 1898.
Mr.. J. NJ. THORN, Grand Rapids, Wis,
NV Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in hand
ing you herewith check No. 1860, to
your order, in the sum of S45.45, which
is, as you know, your share in the 81 900
prize awarded to the winners in the
famous Preferred Tontine Class, of
which you are a member. When you
realize that year ago to-day there
were not 25 men in the entire United
States who had a record of having ever
written even one application week for
six consecutive weeks you will appre-
ciate, I believe, to the full extent, the
remarkable record made by the A sur
viving members in this Tontine Class,
which has run for over 40 weeks. |
feel that so many as A men having sue
ceeded in staving IL this class during
practically all last year was an immense
stimulant to more than thousand other
men who were working in the Western
Department and that to you, for this
reason, is due no small share of the
credit for the remarkable success the
Western Department made last year.
Extending to you in this respect my
personal thanks and heartiest congratu-
lations, [ remain,
Yours very truly,
GEO. W. PERKINS, Sd Vice Pres.
We are glad to learn of Mr.. Thorn's
success and hope that 1893 will prove
one of the most successful years for him
as agent of one of the best companies
doing business in the west.

a list of the manufacturing establish

we have not had the time to collect
them. Here is the list

We append list of the heaviest
tax payers IN the twin cities for 1891
1892 showing the difference. The taxes
were little larger in 1892 than they
were in 1891 due from the fact that
many more improvements were made
in the past year. The list is quite in
teresting to look over.

will give you few dots from
this corner.
We are farming people, and our
crops are very good, consequently,
we are all happy. Nearly all the
corn has been sslaid BY" But little
cotton was planted. rice being our
money crop. Prospects foraanother
heavy rice crop are favorable, but
some are not quite done planting,
as we plant here until the last of
of June. The last crop did not sell
very well, but prospects for this
crop are better, as we will not be
entirely dependant on New Orleans
as a market. There are many other
outlets; Crowley has. two fine mills
in successful operation and is build
ing very large one; Lake Charles
has a very large mill that cleans
1000 barrels day, and a small one
that cleans 400 barrels per day;
California is buying rice from us,
which she never did before. New
Orleans is now doing with the rice
as she did with the cotton. She
keeps putting on charges until these
staple commodities must hunt cheap
er rates in handling. We are going
to hold farmers convention, and
we will try to get the railroad to
give US little reduction in rates.
In many cases last season the rail-
road charges amounted to IS per
cent of the net proceeds, charging
as high as STAG for a car to New
Orleans.
We have now in successful opera
ton the stock law. Many fields
have no fences around them; it
looks strange to ride in the public
road, with fine crops on both sides
and no fences to protect them. We
will have to raise less stock and of
better quality.
The fruit crop is passably good
this year; we have had a fine crop
of blackberries. have many
pear trees, that have small
amount of fruit this year, they be-
ing young and just coming into
bearing. I have a Japan persim-
mon tree that has over. barrel Of
fruit on it; they ripen in October
and are very delicious. ODEROE.

Father Healey. In the evening the
Archbishop Intercepted the chill

with their answers, and compli

at half past nine he administered
the sacrament of confirmation to
more than 200 persons. He de-

that were easily understood by the

undoubted remember his kindness

Much credit is due to Rev. Father
