MARATHON COUNTY ASYLUn.
An Elegant Building With $50
Inmates.

1t has been many years since the
writer has had an opportunity to visit
an Insane Asylum. Friday this oppor-
tunity was presented, while in Wausau,
visiting H. C. Head and wife, who are
respectively Superintendent and
Matron of this institution. We were
surprised to find so large, and elegant
an edifice containing all the modern
improvements and appliances, for the
care and keeping of the inmates in
comfort and safety. 1t is situated upon
a tract of 260 acres of land, on the west
bank of the Wisconsin river, two miles
south of the city of Wausau. The
buildings stand upon high bluff over
| looking the Wisconsin and Prairie river
valleys, making q beautiful landscape
shaded by the mountains in the back
ground. 1t is pleasing to the visitor to
! find these poor unfortunate creatures so
we'll housed and cared for with all the
comforts Of this life and most inviting
surroundings.
| On looking over the records of the
Institution we found the inmates come
principally from Marathon, Wood,
Portage, Waupaca, Taylor and Ashland
counties. The following is a list from
this county:
| Frederick VIM. Klavine, Seneca.
Lille Mamie, Centralla.
/ John Henrick, Milladore.
Gustaye Dahlke, Grand Rapids.
Herman Bruhn, Marshfeld.
Lena Rose, Grand Rapids.
Adolphia Helen Rape, Seneca.
| Mary Oleson, Port Edwards.
Francis P. Mason, Saratoga.
Matthias Kouter, Marshfeld.
Ottilia Altman, Lincoln.
These were transferred from the
Oshkosh Asylum April 7th 1894.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Head are specially
adapted for the positions they occupy
as Superintendent and Matron of this
institution. The order and system is
most perfect. and all the inmates appear
to love and obey them with that de-
votion and respect that could be
expected from people in their condition.
They are fed, clothed and cared for far
better than they would be at their own
homes. There are only two idiotic
persons i'll this asylum, the others are
all insane. Relatives of these poor
unfortunates can take great comfort in
the fact they are in such good hands, as
nearly every wish and want is gratified.
They have the freedom of their wards
and grounds, and 60 and come at will,
keeping within the rules and regulations.
All those who are able to work are
obliged to do light work for exercise.
Among them you can find carpenters,
gardners, butchers, bakers, BARRIERS,
tailors, but the majority are common
laborers. The ladies are occupied
principally in making clothes for the
inmates.
Mr. and Mrs. Head made our visit
most pleasant and enjoyable one.

A Contemplated Change.

We are sorry to note that the firm of
Doud q Muir are preparing to close out
their shoe store in this city, as they
already have in Wausau and are doing
now in Pittsville. The reason for this
change is to 90 into manufacturing
The retail business is not remunerative
enough. 1t will require several months
to bring these changes about but they
have really decided to do so. Mr.. A..
Muir, who has personal charge of the
store here, has made many friends in
business circles who will be sorry to
have him and his estimable family
leave from our midst. He feels. that
the change will be more profitable to
him, therefore had decided to make it.
Next week he will commence his
closing out sale during which time his
patrons will get bargains in the shoe
line

ABSOLUTELY PURE
NJ. E. Church Entertainment.

The ladies of the NJ. Z. Church gave
a literary and musical entertainment at
the Opera House Thursday evening to
a fair audience. The program was
made up of Is numbers in which our
literary and musical talent was dis
played. Especially fine were the
recitations by Mrs. B. R. Goggins and
Mrs. 0. 7. Hougen. These ladies are
perfectly at home on the stage and
always take their parts we'll. The
Misses Florence Philleo, Laura Reeves,
Ida Hoskinson and Mr.. L. M. Alexan-
der appeared in song with credit to
themselves. They never fail to please
for they all possess fine voices. The
Mandolin Club never fail to please and
always receive hearty encores.

Congress, and of the three gentlemen,
one army engineer, one naval engineer
and one civil engineer, who composed
that commission, because its report
has shown that the difficulties of build
ing the canal are much greater than
the canal company's officials had
represented them to be, and because
the report estimates the cost to be
nearly double what the canal company
does. No matter whether a man
favors or opposes the idea of govern
ment aid in building the canal, there
is no sense in his Directing to the
truth and the whole truth being put
before Congress before final action is
taken. If the friends of the canal are
wise they will try to muzzle those Re-
publicans who are making use OF abuse
instead of arguments.
Sir Julian Pauncefote will be sorry
he so forgot himself as to abuse Senator
Morgan, in an official paper, for the
opinions he expressed on the floor of
the Senate concerning those claims
for the seizure of illegal sealers in
Boring Sea. Senator Morgan is a
fighter. Just now he merely says of
Sir Julian's abuse: al think it is a
piece of presumptive arrogance on his
part" but just wait until he tackles
the subject on the floor of the Senate.

The Uympian tries to make point
in the claim that the Citizens ticket
was irregular, because it did not "rep.
resent any political party or principle, y
IS the law requires. 1t strikes anyone
capable of forming an intelligent
opinion that an emergency which has
called forth united action and elected
half its nominees is based upon some
solid principle. But how is it with the
Republican ticket? The law pre-
scribes certain formalties to make the
acquisition of certain offices it creates
possible or legal. Notwi
the Republican convention had law
yer as its presiding officer, and law
yer AS its nominee for Mayor, they
failed in the opinion of some of our
best legal talent to take the necessary
steps to render their work effective
and if this doubt is based upon tenable
grounds Mr.. Phipps is to-day, the le-
gally elected Mayor of Olympia. 1t is
we'll for the kettle, before it calls the
pot black, to take look at its own
bottom.

The November issue OF the Vest
Coast LumbermHn says: 1t is safe
to say that Washington will beat
the worlds record this year in one
respect. The Port Blakely mill
at Port Blakely, will cut more lum-
her in 1895 than was ever manu-
featured by any shingle mill in the
history of Underwriting. For the
first ten months of the year it has cut
q ,93O,763 feet for domestic ports, and
5,745, 449 feet for foreign ports. max
ing total of S3,676,212 feet. 1t had
orders on November l, for 12,OOO,OOO
to 100000 feet, and it is safe to say
that the total for 1895 will reach 1885,
100000 feet. 1t is possible this cut
may have been beaten, but the records
at hand do not indicate such an out
put. ii. &. Akeley Lumber Company,
of Minneapolis, cut in 1894, 81 ,4S7, $50
feet, and Lamb & Sons, of Clinton, Ia,
cut 7O,319,0OO. These are the largest
noted. If the lumber cut by the Port
Blakely mill had been put on cars, it
would have made train about 60
miles in length.

AN ALLY FOR THE A. Z. AT
Cleveland, Ohio. on the 2Sth ult.-
Thanksgiving Dsy-Rabbi NJ. CRIES.,
of the Wilson Avenue Temple, the
most prominent Synagogue in the
city, preached remarkable sermon at
the Church Of Unity before an audi
ence composed of Unitarians, Univer-
salists and Jews. Rabbi CRIES. said
that he objected to any form of observ-
ing Thanksgiving day and was opposed
to the issuing OF the proclamations by
the President calling upon the people
to meet for prayer and thanksgiving,
because, he declared, this was not a
Christian nation. While the majority
OF the people were Christians, strong
minority were not, and that the mi
nority was entitled to a consideration.
He did not desire to detract from
Christianity, because he realized what
it had done for the country, but he
was in favor OF much larger religious
freedom.

SEATTLE is in the swirl about as
much as other cities, if we are to form
an opinion from that very reliable pa
per, the Post-Inteliinger. The interest
bearing debt OF the city foots up over
$1,000, 900, on which at the lowest rate
the annual interest is $4,000 or
nearly $1,000 per day. That journal,
after quoting an array of figures, which
gives the above result, says: Nearly
every dollar of this interest i. sent out
OF the city. Is it any wonder we are

SUFFERING ARMENIA.-It is now

pie competent to pronounce an opin-
ion upon the subject say that with
the coming of winter there will be
many more deaths from exposure and
famine, and that in that event the
prompt collection of relief funds, food
and clothing can avert much loss
of life and great suffering. A famine
is threatened in number OF districts
and there seems to be no way of pre-
venting it.

WEBSTER ON SILVER COINAGE-Dan-
iel Webster, the greatest constitutional
lawyer this nation has produced, said,
81 am clearly of the opinion that
neither Congress nor any other au-
thority can legally demonetize either
silver or gold. If one coin can be de-
throned as money, then the other one
can be, and thus the constitution
could be disregarded and over
thrown" Mr.. Webster made one
other statement at the same time
which is commended to the most
thoughtful consideration of gold
standard men. These are his woads ::
"The command to Congress is to coin
money, not destroy it; to create legal
tender money for the use OF the peo-
pie, and the grant of authority to Gre
ate money cannot be construed to
mean authority to destroy money"
