Condition of Trade,

The complete success of the poyern-
ment loan and the replenish of the
gold reserve have not perceptibly
affected business, nor prevented an ad-
vance OF foreign exchange near to the
exporting point. AS January interest
has soon to be met, and the operations
of the syndicate are thought likely to
prevent much selling of the bonds to
foreigners, some exports Of gold are
not improbable. Meanwhile domestic
trade and industry have not been little
Influenced by the heavy defalcation in
one bank and minor disorders in two
others, nor by the failure of the Erie
Railway to meet interest on its bonds
The closing sugar refneries will diminish
the industrial force more than it is
increased by the resumption of the
Bethlehem Steel Works and a few
other concerns. The controlling fact is
that, although in two instances wages
have been increased, the earnings of
the working force and its purchasing
power are not OH the whole enlarging
at present, and prices of the chief
farm products do not materially i'm

Wood Saving Contests.

The fact that we made public the
wood saving contest which occurred in
this city some time since offended some
of the participants because Of their
false pride or vanity, we do not know
which. The next day the Milwaukee
Sentinel contained the same item in full
and looked upon it as We did to the
credit of the ladies, and gave it promi-
nence by placing it on the first page Of
their daily. In Wednesday mornings
Sentinel we found the following:
THE Grand Rapids women are nor
the only women who saw wood for
diversion. Their example so worthy of
imitation, as shown in the Sentinel's
recent report of one of their wood
saving contests. has worthy emulator
in Miss Emma Werner of Horizon
The reporter of that city says that she
is the champion wood-sawer of that
place. Some time ago, in contest, she
won the prize, gold watch, and on last
Monday night she captured the silver
set at Harvey Haile's entertainment.
There were no men in the audience
who wanted to enter the match with
her"

Verdict of $4,000.

Stevens Point Gazette: B. B. Park
has been at Milwaukee most Of the
time during the past couple of weeks;
where he has appeared for the plaintiff
in damage suit, in which $l5, 200 is the
amount asked for. The plaintiff in the
case is Otto Sorenson, now resident of
Wood county. While employed in the
saw mill of Reitbrock & Halsey, at
Athens, Sorenson received personal
injuries on account Of alleged defective
machinery, resulting in the loss of one
foot and otherwise manning him for
life. The case has been vigorously
fought on both sides, it coming before
the superior court, with Dir. Park for
the plaintiff and J. V. Quarles for the
defense. The testimony was all intro
duced on Friday last, and on Monday
the attorneys commenced their argu-
ments. Yesterday the jury brought in
a verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff.

May Lose $4,000.

The indications are that the aspira-
tlons of II. W. Lee to be elected to the
office of district attorney of this county
may cost him dearly. At the last
session of congress Il bill was passed by
which Mr.. Lee hoped to receive about
$4,000 for his work in behalf of the
Winnebago Indians. This work was
done some years ago, at which time he
was acting as attorney for that tribe of
aboriginees. Mr.. Lee is a Democrat,
but prior to the last, election be
announced himself an t4tttsopendont
candidate for the office of district
attorney. He lacked nearly 5000 votes
of being elected, but his presumption
in even asking the people for their
support has SO incensed some of his
Democratic brethren that they have
signified their purpose of doing all they
can to head him off and prevent him
from receiving any benefit from the act
above alluded to. If they succeed in
this the 49 votes received by MIR, Lee
may prove even more expensive TO him
than the four Mulkins chickens were 10
the county, Stevens Point Journal.
If Mr.. Lee is entitled to pay for
services rendered the Indians as their
attorney, it would be an outrage to
defeat him from getting his lawful fees
simply because there is some doubts of
his democracy We are sorry that he
trains with that party and we cannot
believe any of his Democratic (?)
friends would rob him of his pay as
such attorney,

Stole His Clothing.

Mr.. Michael Kruger, a successful
farmer in the town of Grand Rapids
and father of F. w. Kruger member
of the enterprising firm of F. W.
Kruger & Co., clothiers III this city, had
his best suit Of clothes and overcoat
stolen Saturday morning in the follow
ing manner. He remained at home
while his wife and son went to town.
After he did up the chores be thought
he would go over to the neighbois on a
short visit While away about half an
hour some one entered the house took
off their old clothes and put on Mr..
krugers best clothes and overcoat and
left their old ones in their stead. On
Mr.. kruger's return he was much sur
piised to find what had happened. He
thinks some tramp watched his chance
for good bargain in the furnishing line.

SHOE MANUFACTURERS.

We are pleased to note the fact that
Messrs. VIM. A. Dawes and DR.. M. B.
Wood, of Pittsville, have organized
under the firm name of Dawes & Wood
for the purpose of manufacturing shoes.
They have purchased the necessary
machinery and are manufacturing
several styles of the substantial make of
shoes and placing them upon the mar
ket. They commenced last month and
are already enjoying d good trade. Mr..
Wood was in the city Tuesday taking
orders. They buy their leather in
Medford, Wis, and therefore their
product is wholly a Wisconsin product.
We hope these gentlemen will make a
success of their new undertaking and
prosper. we hope Wood County
dealers will encourage home industry.

PAPER DEAL ASSURED.
Forty=Five Plants in the Fox River
Syndicate.

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 26.-Frank k
Butterworth, promoter of the English
syndicate purchase of all the paper and
pulp mills in the Fox and Wisconsin
river valleys, was in the city to-day.
For the first time since he b gan work
on the deal he was somewhat communi-
eative. To a representative of The
Sentinel he said in substance:
''The deal is now in such shape that |
don't mind giving you the outline of the
project. Your original statement of the
situation was practically correct. The
only inaccuracies were that instead of
having options OH every mill in the
Fox river valley there are five upon
which we have not and do not want
options. They are the John Strange
mill, the Paul Paper company mill, and
the Howard Paper company mill at
Menasha, the Manufacturing Invest
ment company's sulphite plant at
Appleton, and the Shattuck & Babcock
mill at DePere. The three Menasha
mills we never approached at all, pre-
ferring not to have them. The Manu-
featuring Investment company gave us
a price, but wanted to include their
Madison, Me-, mill in the deal. To this
we could not agree, nor to a price on
the Appleton plant alone. The Shattuck
& Babcock company, De Pere, gave US
a price, but we considered it too high,
and as the mill manufacturers loft
dried papers exclusively and thus will
not come into competition with our
output, we declined to take an option
on the plant. Thus we have ,options on
forty-five Fox river mills, instead of
fifty, as stated.
''Then, besides the Fox river mills,
we have secured options on the three
paper mills and two pulp mills of the
Marinette & MenQminee Paper COM
pany at Marinette, Wis, and Menomi-
Mich, the Falls Manufacturing com
pany's paper mill and three pulp mills
at Oconto Falls, Wis, the Plover Paper
company's paper mill and the Wiscon-
sin River Pulp and Paper company's
mills at Stevens Point These mills
were not included in your original state
ment of the deal.

Some years ago a vessel struck on the
rocks. They had only one lifeboat. In
that lifeboat the passengers and crew
were getting ashore. The vessel had
foundered and was sinking deeper and
deeper, and that one boat could not take
the passengers very swiftly. A little girl
stood ON the deck, waiting for her turn
to get into the boat. The boat came and
went-came and went-but her turn
did not seem to come. After awhile
she could wait no longer, and she leaped
on the taffrail and then sprang into the
sea, crying to the boatman: "Save me
