Prosperity's Return.

Wausau Central:-From Hurley comes
the announcement that the. .'Germania" !"
mine has resumed operations after
being idle for five years. This is one
of the largest producers in the Gogebic
range and during the prosperous times
from 1000 to l 800 men were employed.
1t was discovered by Hays Bros, Who
made several hundred thousand
dollars from it, refusing an offer of
$1,000,000 for the property at one time.
The fee is now owned by the Northern
Chief Iron company, of which D. L..
Plumer and w. c. Silverthorn of this
CITY are president and secretary re-
spectively. The company leasing the
property has been newly organized
under the name of the Cuyahoga Min
ing company. headed by Capt S. S.
Curry. J. H. TAYLOR, former superin-
tendent of the property, will be in
charge. There is great rejoicing all
along the Gogebic range at the turn
affairs are taking in the mining busi-
ness.

Houston r1urder Trial.

Wausau, Wis, Nov. 23:-The second
week of the Houston murder trial
opened Monday. In anticipation of
the putting of old man Jacobs on the
stand there was large attendance, but
morbid curiosity was not satisfied.
The prosecution called a number of
witnesses, but they were simply to
strengthen the circumstantial evidence
that is being adduced to back up the
confession of Jacobs. Miss Nettie
Leitner testified to having heard de-
fendant Emery state that Peter Houston
had threatened to kill him; that if he
met him in the woods and both,had guns
be wou Id take care that Peter could not
get a chance to shoot first.
William Corcoran, ex-county sur
veyor Of Wood county, new witness,
sWore that on the afternoon of the day
Of the murder he was returning 10
Grand Rapids, and met Lord and
Emery as they were going from that
city; that they had single barreled
gun between them in the buggy in
which they were riding. That the de-
fense considered this very important
was shown by the desperate attempt to
break it, which was unsuccessful.
Knute Knuteson, who was in jail with
Lord, told how Lord offered him $40 to
spirit Emma Houston away before the
first trial.
Jimmie Jacobs, brother of Emma
Houston, testified to having heard
Emery say he would as soon shoot a
Houston boy as dog. He corroborated
his sisters testimony in important
particulars; told of the visit of Emery
and Lord to his father on the evening
of the murder, and said that soon after
they left Jacobs left home and was gone
for some time, then returned, ate his
supper and retired.
This evidence comedies with the con-
fession made by Jacobs. While poorly
educated and very ignorant as to dis
tances the boy had the appearance of
trying to be truthful.
w, H. Edmonds, who was stopping at
Emery's at the time of the murder,
testified that the defendants came
home shortly after the lamp was
lighted and went to bed. The witness
was confused as to just what time it was.
James Jewell had arrived at the Jacobs
home on the night of the murder and
went to bed with Jacobs, remaining till
morning. He stated he arrived there
when it was pretty dusk, but did not
know whether it was pretty dusk at s
O'Clock or 8 o'clock.
Willie Houston, William Henderson,
Miles Daily and Frank Gallagher were
examined but no new developments
were made.
Old man Jacobs will be the first wit
ness tomorrow and his examination
will occupy the entire day and
probably Wednesday.

Does Advertising Pay?

Is a question often asked, and one
needs to hesitate before answering what
seems SO simple an inquiry. Certainly
poor advertising does not, and oh! how
much of 1t is done.
To get good reaults an ad must be
constructed with care and judgment,
born of experience; it should be so
worded that there be no mistaking it's
invitation to examination and purchase
it should be displayed in we'll chosen,
that is to say readable type that will
not tax the eyesight, and above all it
should be placed in journals, the very
best in the town or city, for it is case
where the best will certainly prove the
cheapest, remembering that the quality
Of a papers readers is fully as essen
tial as the quantity.
Advertising to be successful must be
persistent; occasional splashes of
printers ink on the pages of a news
paper, no matter how good medium
it may be, are soon forgotten. 1t is the
continued intruding of your name and
business under the eyes and nose of
your fellow men and women that
drives them through sheer curiosity 10
seek YOU out, that they may test the
truth of your statements, and that's
where the business of the advertise
ment ends, and the business Of the ad-
vertiser begins. He must clinch his
every printed promise, or they should
never have been made; to do otherwise
is to undo the possible good results of a
work we'll begun.
A score of persons imbued with the
idea after visiting a place of business
that its advertised merchandise bears
no resemblance to the goods shown, but
are simply fakes, will plant in the
minds of friends and acquaintances
seeds of doubt and suspicion, that will
in time turn into weeds of destruction
that will stagnate or strangle the
growth of what might have grown into
a business plant that would profit its
owner and perpetuate his name.
Advertising if well and judiciously
done is the life's blood that thrills the
entire system Of merchandising; it's a
business tonic that the shopping COM
munity have an inordinate appetite for,
and they feed upon it with avidity. To
the merchant it opens up new fields of
enterprise, it spreads broadcast his
name and his business, it enters into
thousands of homes, and is read both
upstairs and down, for it knows no
caste; it brings the stranger within his
gates, and then, Mr.. Advertiser, beware,
it's crucial time for you, it means
much or little for the future of your
business.
