JUDGE BRANDS.

While in Wausau the last time we had
the pleasure of forming the acquain-
lance of Judge Brands The Judge il
probably one of the best known men
in the Wisconsin Valley. All the OLD
settlers of Wausau, Merrill, Stevens
Point and Grand Rapids know him ana
honor him. He is one of those conspc-
uous characters, made so on account OF
his big heart and kindly disposition
towards everyone. While an old line
democrat he always has good word
for his opponents. He can tell many Il
tale about the earlier experiences OF
men in the Wisconsin Valley. Those
who know him will appreciate the
following item taken from the last
issue of the Pilot Review:
We visited Judge Brands court YES
terday and as we reached the door,
from the sounds, we concluded that tie.
Judge had changed the order of things
and that he opened cases with spirited
music instead Of the old way. 70 our
surprise, on opening the door, we
found that the Under Sheriff and the
Judge were practicing little Duet
Our church people should get on to the.
fact that the Judge possesses tenor
voice that will draw like a four-horse
team. While the Judge is rushing OF.
to his 10th year, he is as agile as kid
of 20 years.

How to Grow Big Crops.

This question is an important one to
every farmer, as it depends on the size
of his crop how much his profit will be-
If your land is in poor condition
you must add the three elements OF
plant food in some manner to the soil
before you can expect to grow big
crops.
You can do this the easiest by buying
Commercial Fertilizers these are made
Of dried blood, meat scraps, ground
bone and potash salts, and contain the
three elements of plant food viz: Nitro
gen, .Phosphoric Acid and Potash. For
growing big crops of smooth nice
potatoes there is nothing to equal them.
IF YOU wish for further information as
to prices etc, enquire of Purdy & Read
Grand Rapids, Wis, who are general
agents for one of the largest manu-
facturers in the country.
If you want to buy some choice Seed
potatoes or anything in the line OF
garden and farm seeds you can get the
best at reasonable prices by ordering OF
Purdy & Read. 1t will pay you better
10 patronize home firm than to pay
big prices to glib tongued agents who
are selling Seed Potatoes that are sure
death to potato bugs.

More About Water Works.

In the last issue Of the Wausau Torch
Mr.. Barnum had the following to say in
favor of water-works:
"What has appeared in reference to
the Wausau water works, has been
copied into exchanges where the people
are contemplating water plant, and as
those articles have been written on a
single phase of the subject, we wish to
place everybody on the right track by a
general explanation.
The works at this city were put in by
the municipal corporation. An attempt
was made by certain capitalists to
secure a franchise 4 large public
meeting was held and Mr.. Chas Hazel
tine offered to put in one-half the
capital and to secure the balance
outside of the city if he could obtain a
charter from the city. We stood up in
that meeting and vigorously opposed
the plan, believing then as we do now,
that it was best for the town to own the
works
When the question of bonding the
city for the purpose of putting in the
works was voted on, the proposition
was defeated. 1t was submitted at a
subsequent election, and carried by q
small vote. Every newspaper in the
city vigorously supported it, and We
firmly believe it was carried through
their influence. Not one citizen can
now be found who regrets it. Fire
protection to the city is free. The
people are satisfied with the works,
satisfied with the water and the service.
The works are on paying basis and
not one in ten of our people would vote
to change the present order of things.
We firmly believe that any city of
three thousand inhabitants can better
afford water works system than they
can do without it. The health, the
comfort and the convenience of the
people demand it.

Lovers of Whist.

While the old whist club was not
recognized this winter, a great many
small whist parties are held in different
parts of the city. The writer has had
the privilege, in company with several
of the other young men, of playing
often in a certain office in this city
where they congregate for that purpose
This game is a very popular one and
grows upon those who play it enough
to become interested. 1t is national
game and one Of the most scientific.

Fought For a Sweetheart.

A few local sports gathered at an old
barn in Marshtield Monday night and
witnessed fistic encounter, (Marquis
Of Queensberry rules with bare

this method of settlement, the winner

thirty-nine minutes, in which thirteen
