1t isabsolutely necessary for the body
to have rest for the replenishing of
waste tissues after a hard weeks labor
Sunday or the Sabbath has been
provided by an all wise Creator as that
day for all those who are not Adventists,

Music Hath Charms.

We were among the fortunates Sun
day evening who enjoyed another
soiree of music furnished by Messrs.
Rube Lyons and A. II. Colcord on the
pond opposite the Lyon homestead,
The delightful strains which vibrated
from the guitar and clarionet when
operated upon by the above artists was
sufficient to "charm the savage breast"
until it became as docile as the lamb.
This treat lasted for one hour and was
most pleasing and entertaining. We
join with the rest of the audience in
expressing our thanks and sincerely
hope the gentlemen will repeat the
concert in the near future.

Mrs. R0samOnd Follett.

On account of poor health Mrs
Follett has sold her newspaper plant to
Mr.. w. E. Gardner, of Milwaukee, who
has been connected with the Evening
Wisconsin there for many years. He is
recognized by members of the Wiscon-
sin Press as one of the brightest
editorial writer's in the state. He is
also very popular and we'll liked by the
fraternity. In assuming control of the
Green Bay Gazette he had the following
kind words to say about Mrs. Follett,
whom all members of the Wisconsin
Press love, irrespective Of party, on
account of her many virtues. Her
genial disposition, true character and
social qualities have won for her the
respect, esteem and good will of all
acqaintances. We unite with him in
endorsing the sentiments expressed:
A POPULAR REGRET.
The withdrawal of Mrs. Rosamond
Follett from the ownership and manage
ment of this paper occasions on the
part of the people of Green Bay regret
SO sincere as to be akin to grief. By all
Mrs. Follett has long been personally
known and peculiarly beloved. In
many lives with which she has had
contact her life and influence have been
as tracks of sunshine whose gleam
fingers and will linger on for the bright
ening of future years. Everyone who
has had the gOod fortune to meet her.
even casually, is the better for having
known her.
And her activity has been remarkable
not merely for Its fullness of sunshine
She has proved herself one of the
world 5 efficient ones; she accom- plishes
things. The impress of her strong
personality upon the newspaper life of
Wisconsin has been distinct and cumu-
latiVe and wholesome. 1t is doubtful if
any other person has contributed as
muck as she has contributed to the
present practical and growing efficiency
OF The Wisconsin Press Association.
Her pluck and courage and tact and
common sense have availed in the
Association, as in her more personal
service on The Gazette, to compass
many good results after which others
would have Striven in vain
She has earned the respect, often the
admiration, always the affection OF
those whom her forcefnl work has
touched and influenced; and the makers
of newspapers throughout Wisconsin.
hardly less than her old-time friends
and neighbOrs of Green Bav. share
regret at her retirement from active
work and join in paving to her the
tribute of attectlOnate personal regard.

Horticultural Notes.

The golden rod is in all its golden
glory now and is much used for decora-
tive purposes. 1t blooms earlier than
usual this year and is less perfect on
account of the drouth.
The Horticultural Society will hold its
first picnic in Robinson's grove two
miles west Of Centralia August 2S.
Mrs. Kate Pepin has few plum
trees, seedlings four years old, that are
literally loaded with large red plums of
fine flavor. The seed was brought from
Canada and has proved to be we'll
adapted to the climate here. A. D.
Barnes, the nurseryman of Waupaca,
on being shown the fru1t, expressed his
opinion in high terms and paid literally
for pits to plant. Those interested in
fruit culture would do we'll to secure
seed ard test its merits. 4 careful
selection of hardy and prolific varieties
Of fruit would soon solve the problem
of home fruit culture aud be a source
Of profit to the grower. Seed imported
from Canada stands the winters here
well. Apples, plums and cherries are
indigenous to the soil here and it
requires only a selection of hardy kinds
to have success in the cultivation.
4 number of copies of the Annual
Report of the Wisconsin State Horti-
cultural Society for 1S93-94 have been
sent to the Wood County Horticultural
Society for free distribution among
members. The book is a valuable
addition to any library and of real
practical help in its line. We notice a
paper by our townsman John A.
Gaynor on industrial Education' that
contains some suggestions worthy the
attention of our school board.
The destruction of forests by fire
recently throughout the state brings the
methods Of Europe into forcible con-
trast with our own, much to our
detriment. In Europe a systematic
care is exercised over the forests by the
States. 1t would be of inestimable
worth to our United States forests if
Congress and State would combine to
enact protective laws.

of Kansas City.
Traded Him a Eanc,, in Tcxas-Thc Doc
tor Found lie Had II Mortgage of
$4,000 that lie Had Not
Bargained For.

KANSAS CITY. Jan. 1G.-What looks
like gigantic and barefaced swindle was
unearthed Monday afternoon, when DIR.
j. q. Dafeylh, a capitalist and we'll
known broker of this city. swore to a
complaint before Justice of the Fence
j. IA. Worthen, charging q. D. Martin.
formerly of Fort Worth, Tex, and later
of Denver. with obtaining goods to the
value of 81. 900 from him under false
pretensos. Martins bail has been placed
at 81, 800. After considerable running
around among a~cquaintances Martin
was unable to give bond aud was locked
up in the county Jail to await a hearing
next Monday.
According to tho statement of DR..
Lafeyth he was introduced to a man
named j. nj. Wylie in the latter part of
October last. A few days later, he al
leges, Wylie introduced him to Martin
with the statement that Martin was pos
sessed of untold wealth. He says Wylio
told him that Martin owned a ranch in
Texas and a hotel in Denver. Martin
told him he had 1865 acres Of land free
and clear in Archer county, Texas,
which he would trade for anything
good. Lafeyth said he had a stock of
notions invoiced to him at $1,000 which.
he wanted to dispose of.
According to agreement DR.. Lafeyth
met Wylie and Martin in a room in the
Midland hotel and there agreed to trans
fer the stock OF notions ard 1,16O acres
of Missouri land for the 1865 acres of
Texas land and $s,4oo in promissory
notes and the trade was made. Martin,
he says. shipped the notions to Dallas,
Tex, and afterward to Bonham, Tex,
and when he found that the notes were
worthless he began making inquiries
about the Texas land. p
A few days ago he received q letter
from the county clerk of Archer county
telling hi,rs that the land was mortgaged
for $4,000. He says he confronted
Martin with these facts and Martin told
him the goods were in Dallas, Tex. He
has been unable to locate the goods and
upon inquiry he has found that Martin
aud Wylie entered into n conspiracy to
rob him. Martin will make no state
ment in the matter.

WAR AGAINST oLeomARGARlNE

The Object of the National Convention of
Dairymen In Session in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-War against oleo-
margarine is the object of the national
convention of dairymen which opened
at the fremont house today. The
movement was initiated by members of
he board of trade ut Elgin, in this
state, who have become aroused over
the increased sale of substitutes for
butter, and who at n recent con-
ference decided to invite the co-opera-
ton of the dairymcn of this country
with a view to the formation of II M
tional dairy association, having for it's
primary object the procuring of legisla-
ton in the various states which should
prevent the fraudulent sale of inita-
ton dairy products, and the encourage
ment OF the increased and more
economical p%roauct,on -.~of high
grade dairy products. Invitations
were sent to dairymen and produce
exchanges throughout the country
and the response has been very general.
The war against oleomargarine is now
being pushed in Il number of states,
among them New York, Pennsylvania
and Minnesota. In New York Phil
Armour g. Co. have invoked the aid of
the federal courts in IN effort to enjoin
Frederick c. Schraub, the state commits

subject of the sale of olcomurgarine

1eached in court on the right of the
firm to sell its good in the original
packages under the interstate COM
mercc decisions. Armour claims that
the product is healthful, while admit
ting that the action of the state au-
thorities has greatly reduced tho
sales and caused in%calculahle dam
age. In Minnesota also the ques-
ton has gotten into the courts, and n
bill fathered by Senator Hill is pending
in the United States senate, providing
stringent regulations for the sale Of
oleomargarine or any limitations of but
