Uncle Ace Triplette, who lives near

thing else being stolen, but this is the
first time he has ever heard of the

Superintendent Shut, of the county
convict camp, informs THE SENTINEL
that the report about his whipping
Micajah Watts, is entirely false. He
has not struck the negro since he be-
came a member of the force. Mr..
Shut says that Cajer is poor hand
to work, from the fact that it is new
business to him.
It appears that some have censured
the Superintendent for not allowing
the rioter to follow his trade, cooking
but Judge Brown sentenced him to
"hard labor on the county roads" and
Mr.. Shutt is only following His Hon

Heavy Snow Fall in the South.

From "The Weekly Truth" news
paper published in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, we take the following
interesting account of their recent snow
storm:
"About 9:3O O'Clock of Wednesday
night snow began falling here for the
first time in some thirteen or fourteen
time until the present, Friday morning
when a depth of about u inches is
reached, the greatest depth ever known
here within the memory of man and
perhaps the greatest since the creation
To find the earth covered in robes of
spotless white when sleeping humanity
awoke was an unusual and beautiful
sight to meet the eyes of generation
which had never before gazed upon
such a scene. Persons born since the
last snow visited this section, as we'll as
those who were too young at the time
to remember, appeared spellbound as
they gaZed out of the windows at the
fallen flakes and the white mantled
earth. AS the day grew apace, however
the town turned out en- masse when
young and old engaged in snow balling
as vigorously and as eXpertly as though
snow was an every winters day vista
ton. Business was virtually suspended
and many of the stores remained
closed throughout the day, while their
employees enjoyed the newborn pastime.
When, however, Friday morning came
and it was still showing, the novelty of
the situation no longer sustained our
people and disgust rather than anima-
ton ruled the hour.
\ few hours of showing was all that
had ever before been known, and that
seldom, so that snow storm of 36 hours
duration was rather an unwelcome
visitor. The negro population in parti-
cular did not know what to make of it,
and many of the most superstitious of
these people looked upon the heavy
snowfall as a sign of impending evil.
| The electric street cars were unable
to run and were early taken to the
stable, much to the comfort of the
mOtermen.
Some enterprising spirits constructed
rough sleds in which they drove around
town fattering themselves that they
were enjoying a first-class sleigh ride.
! Taken all together the snow storm
was novel, unusual, and we are forced
to coufess, TO US, rather disagrceable.

The Loyal Tribune, Clark county,
indicates the feeling in that county
towards Marshfield's new county
scheme:
With every session of the legislature
is evolved the new county schemes.
Every town in the state that is not
already a county seat wants to be one
and wild and varied are the schemes of
aspiring towns like Marshfeld and
Thorp to get Il court house. tt seldom
however, that county is threatened
with dismembe-ment from two direc-
tions at once. Such is the situation of
Clark county. If the denizens of
Thorp and Marshfeld could each get
their wish there would not be much left
of poor Clark when the present legis-
ltture adjourned, but of course there
isn't much cause for anxiety. The
Marshfeld bill is practically the same
old scheme that has been Worrying
them for the past ten years. 1t pro-
poses a new county out of Wood Mara
thon and Clark with that city as the
county seat. A committee has been
appointed doubtless by the Marshfield
! business mems ASSOCIATION to canvass
the district with petitions and pull wires
at Madison. They are banking on the
influence OF ''our governor" and think
it is ''now or never" But their scheme
is doomed to the disappointment of
former years. They propose to take of
the eastern tier of townships except
Lynn and Sherwood Forest and will
make jog in the line and take in
| Loyal if it wishes to come. They are
very accommodating Anyone can
come into their county that wishes. 1t
is needless to say that we of Clark
county will object to any division of the
county. 1t is none too large now to
support county government and no
rational farmer or taxpayer will endorse
their scheme or that Of Thorp to dis
member the county and raise taxes
| these hard times.

In regards to forming new county
from the counties OF Marathon, Wood
and Clark the Wausau Torch has the
following:
There is very little probability OF
this plan meeting with a great deal OF
approval outside of Marshtield, and ii
is safe to say that not all the citizens OF
that place are in its favor. 1t is born OF
the desire of certain real estate men
and public spirited business men to
boom the town, but there are men
there who do not feel that such a
movement is in good taste just at this
time, and they will not give the scheme
very hearty support.
In order to carry the plan into effect
the bill would now have to be intro
duced under "dead head" and vote
cf the people would be necessary to
take territory from Wood county, which
is not large county, or it would be
necessary to attach to Wood county
territory taken from some other county,
in order to make up for what is taken
away. With all due respect for the
gentlemen who are engineering the
scheme the Torch desires to predict
now that the bottom will drop out of
said scheme aforesaid before the flowers
bloom again"

SCHEnE FOR A NEW COUNTY.
Marshfield Dissatisfied and Wants to
be the County Seat.

Eighteen men interested in scheme
to create new county out of territory
taken from the counties of Marathon,
Wood and Clark, cane to this city
Friday for the purpose of comforting
with the business men of the Twin
Cities in reference to their pet scheme.
Among the delegation there was two
men from Colby, Marathon county, and
one from Greenwood, Clark county.
Speeches were made in favor of the
new county by Messrs. DR.. Lathrop,
John T. Cole, Johu P. Hume, B. w.
Pulling, Samuel Shafer and B. r. Salter.
The men from Colby had what could be
termed plausible excuse for fayoring
the scheme in the fact that they have
long round about way reaching Wausau
their county seat, but. the Marshfeld
representatives could only offer that
they were ambitious and wanted to
be the county seat of some county.
If the new county scheme was not
success they served notice upon us
through their representative DR.. H. A.
Lathrop tha. their sword would be held
over us and we would have to meet
county seat fight in this county if we
did not consent to this "their latest"
We grant you gentlemen that you
could be proud of the honor of being
the county seat of Wood county, for its
an honor of which we are justly proud.
We are perfectly willing to meet you
on the question of changing the county
seat and of course realize that we must
meet you in regards to changing the
county lines of Wood county.
Gentlemen, Marshfeld is not ready
to bear the burdens attendant upon
being the county seat of an old or new
county, during the pressure of these
hard times. You are already burdened
with too much indebtedness, why do
you want to assume more? There are
many good reasons why new county
is not wanted and none in favor of it
except to gratify the city of Marshtield
in laudable ambition. 1t would cost
the people too much at this time to
grant you this favor.
First-Times are too hard and the
people are bearing sufficient burdens.
Second-The majority of the people
in neither one of the three counties are
in favor of it.
Third-The division of Wood and
Clark counties would be unconstitutional
Fourth-Prior to the recent elections
there was mutual understanding that
this question was not to be revived.
In this move we are glad of the
pleasure to quote the Governor against
it as the following letter written Mr.. G.
J. Jackson will show:
EXECUTIVE CnAlBER, MADISON, WIS.

steamer, for, by watching it for time
it's position with reference to the isl
and was found to be changing.
Our altitude at this point is about
one mile, while behind US Mt. Lowe
rises 1000 feet higher, but we will moi
attempt to go farther as it is getting
late. So turning about we commence
to descend. All goes somoothly until
we reach the rocky slope mentioned
in our upward journey. The pre-
cipitous slope, combined with the
yielding nature of the rock, makes
proper locomotion somewhat difficult
One finds no trouble in getting down,
however, provided he has no choice as
to the manner and rate of speed at
which he descends.
But where is our eastern friend
Oh! there he is yonder! The rarefed
mountain air has made him dizzy
headed SO, with rare presence of mind,
he has assumed graceful sitting
posture that he may the more securely
maintain his equilibrium. His hands
are thrust energetically into the rocky
bed on either side while his pedal ex-
tremities are so widely at variance
with each other that they form an OBJ
fuse angle. Why seeks he thus to
slide? Will he get for himself great
fame like him who walks upon a
threadIike wire above the rushing wa
ter or leaps from a dizzy hight while
thousands watch with bated breath
No. He cares not for the applause of
men but seeks only to gain the place
of safety far below. He will reach
the goal if you give him time; each
labored "hitch" brings him half foot
nearer, though rocks to the right of
him and rocks to the left of him and
rocks before him roll and tumble.
