said to be an ordinary occurrence. The
oats, both in the straw and threshed,
were such as have never been seen at
these fairs. While the barley was
plump, heavy and bright, there were
also peas, flax and other products of
the field equally to be admired. The
display OF vegetables was excellent. the
onions being as large as the celebrated
Spanish article, the celery causing MANY
a housewife to envy it, while the pota-,
toes, turnips, tomatoes, cabbage and
caulitioWer, were fitted for exhibition

also shown specimens Of the soil, which

agent, Of Stevens Point. who was in

capable of producing such a rich pro-

OF course the object Of making tile ex-
hibit was to interest those desiring new
homes or who wished to better their
present condition. Mr.. Currie saws

Sheriff WheeIocb Returns Stolen Money But
Refuses to Tell How It Was Recovered.
Joseph Stoerzbach of Stevens Point
has recovered the treasure in gold,
greenbacks and bonds stolen from the
holein-the-ground hiding place under
his woodshed last week. He offered a
reward Of $4,000 for the return of the
money and very soon thereafter Sheriff
Wheelock turned over the missing
property to its owner and took the
reward. There was not quite SIS, 600 in
the pile, as it is alleged the old man had
not kept an accurate account of it, but
! after all expenses and the prize money
were paid out there was little upwards
Of $4,000 left for Mr.. StOerzbach.
1t is reported that Sheriff Wheelock
refuses to tell the name of. the person
who took the money or the manner Of
its discovery. He also states that 10
prosecution will follow. If this be true
it's peculiar travesty on justice that
the Portage county officer is allowed to
play With big chunk Of prize money
in sight duty prompted him to locate
the thief and secure the booty, out now
he decides to keep the thief harmless
from the clutches of law when remun-
GRAFTON several times over has been
dealt out in hopes Of forcing conviction.
OF G. ~urse, ali this may be according to
the wishes Of Mr.. StOerzbach, who
knows? This seems to be the favorite
system adopted by Mr.. WheeIock in
diSposing of criminals. Though it may
be saving to Portage county taxpayers,
and is certainly mOneymaker for the
sheriff, it will not be looked upon as q
credit to that county or an endorsement
Of the strict prosecution of law and
morality in that community.
The Stevens Point Journal SAYS that
the old man has decided to give up his
graveyard banking system and Saturday
afternoon deposited at least part of his
pile in one of the city banks. Further
that in late years he has not been
assessed anything on his personal pro-
pertY. If he had been as successful in
avoiding the taX-COlletOr, all would have
been we'll.
LATEsT--In an interview with a news
paper man on Monday Stoerzback said
he did not enjoy the notoriety which
the robbery brought to him and that he
wanted the subject kept quiet. How
ever. he did say that SO far only little
over half of the treasure had been
recovered by him. Also that it was his
son from Algoma, and not the sheriff,
who found the money. He stated that
he had settled all accounts with the
sheriff Monday morning and had the
receipt in his pocket, but refused to say
how much be paid Wheelock. He also
said that as far as he was concerned he
had made no agreement not to prosecute
| the burglar. He said he did not know
where his son found the booty, or who
took it.
1t Is possible that farther investiga-
ton of the mysterious robbery, and
eq-aly mysterious return of the
property, will be made. The district
attorney at the Point states in Monday s
Journal that he had not been consulted
in regard to the matter, and has given
no one authority to state that there will
be no prosecution. If Mr.. Stoerzbach' s
statement that he has secured only
about one half of the property is cor
rect, he has been robbed Of about

Conditions of trade,

The final returns of failures for the
third quarter of 1898 considerably ex-
ceed last weeks estimate, numbering
in all 2,556, with liabilities of $32 sos, ,2l4
and OF commercial failures only 2,540,
with liabilities of So, ,1O4,77S Compar-
isons given today show that the failures
have been smaller than in any other
quarter since 1892, both in amount, in
average per failure, and in defaults per
firm in business. The ratio of defaulted
Liabilities to solvent payments through
clearing houses was only 81 .56 per$1 600,
excepting in 1892, the smallest ratio
since 1882, when the modes ofreporting
were essentially different. But for a
few real estate failures in Alabama and
Chicago, the comparison would have
been far more favorable.

Please Take Notice,

Joe d. Farrell, United States post
office inspector, Of La Crosse was in
this city recently and made an inspec-
ton of the Grand Rapids office. We
found him very thorough in his work
and he suggested the correction Of one
matter that we had allowed to run con-
trary to regulations. What we have
reference to is the. collection of box
rent. This is payable quarterly in ad-
vance and should be paid strictly quar-
terly in advance, We are. therefore,
obliged to give notice that all box rent
must be paid between the 1st and 10th
Of each month in which the quarter
begins. Ii the rent is not so paid it is
imperative on our part to discontinue
the box and place the mail in the gem
eral delivery. We sincerely hope that
we will not be obliged to discontinue
any boxes on account Of the nonpay-
ment Of rent at the time specified by
the postoftice department.
Pursuant to instructions received from
the postOtfice department the pOstOftice
IN this city will hereafter only be open
for one hour on Sundays.
In order to best accommodate the
church going people, the office will
open at II 80 a. IN. and remain open for
business until 1890.
The Office will not be open on Sunday
evening as heretofore. All mail depos-
tied in letter box at front window, prior
to 7:30 p. N. will be dispatched in even
ing mail.
Mail going north Monday morning
should also be deposited in box as early
as 7:30 p. m.
While he was here we decided to do
away with pcstoffice key record and
therefore give notice that all persons
who have deposited 20 cents with the
postmaster for each key in their posses
sion may present them during the next
thirty days at the office and receive
their money. Hereafter if key is lost
the user will be obliged to pay for new
one. Each key must be presented on
or before the 10Th day of November,
1898, or else the amount will be for
feited to the department. No money
will be refunded after the 10th day Of
November, 1898 a. L. FoNTAINE,

County Superintendent,

The nomination Of Otto J. Leu in the
democratic county convention for the
Office of county perintendent of
schools was a great surprise to the
republicans of this county, although it
came not entirely unexpected. In July
last Mr.. Leu published in the REPORTER
the. following announcements:
FOR COUNTY sUPERINTENDEHT.
Il hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the office of county superin-
tendent of schools, subject to the action
of the republican county convention.
Very respec fully, OTTO J. LEU"
From the above card it was generally
supposed that Mr.. Leu was republican,
perhaps be was, but his recent action
IN allowing his name 10 come before
the democratic convention is contra
dictOry. In the republican county con-
ventiOn held at Grand Rapids, Sept Is,
the young gentleman In question worked
earnestly for nomination to the super
intendent's office and though souarely
defeated he received a large compli-
mentary vote. If he accepts the NOM
ination now from the democrats in the
face of the above announcement. as is
evidently his scheme, there will be
doubts whether he has ever been a
republican, or whether he is now
democrat. He apparently is willing to
be anything that will suit the cenven-
ience of office holding.
We have always held the young man
in highest regard, but his action in this
matter is truly surprising. His repub-
hcan friends will certainly not vote for
him under such circumstances, and we
believe that if the democrats want to
vote for republican they would rather
vote for one who IS such staunchly by
profession and principle than to vote
for one who is both republican and
democrat as occasion demands If we
mistake not, the democrats of Wood
democrat from principle and not such
merely to obtain office, as it appears he
shows himself to b e III this case.

Mention OF TWIN City Boys in Letter o.
Fred KyeS TO Parents at Merrill.
Fred Kyes of Merrill went to Alaska
eighteen months ago with company o.
twin city argonauts. He has numerous
acQuaintances in our city to whom the
following paragraphs, taken from-a letter
written at Dawson city by Fred to his
parents, under date of Sept. 5 will be
interesting. He says:
"W e are doing exceedingly we'll on
the claim we are working. Last week
we cleaned up 1907. and $40. This week
we cleaned up 57oz, and $40 or 1922 clear
after paying our help. We have been
doing we'll ever since May 5, and if ou1
present good luck holds out we will be
home next summer with a nice little
stake. Rob has got some good pointers
on claim on Hunter that isn't repre-
sented and the time will be up the 18th
Of this month, We're going to make q
big rush for that. If we get it, it means
about $4,000, there will pr robably be
fifty in the race.
This is by tar the worst governed
country in the world. The dirty whelps

they are going 10 right all wrongs. Daw-
son is a great place, you can find people
there from any part of the world, we'll

a great deal of robbing going on. The
bridge keeper was held up twice and
the receipts taken from him and an old
man up near Discovery on Bonanza was
held up and his money taken, and there
has been several people knocked on the
head. We have been very careful, we
keep our dust in the cabin, but it's we'll
guarded, there isn't much danger Of
anyone getting it.
Well, one week more will finish our
slucing for this season, its getting quite
cold nights and as soon as ice commences
to form in the boxes we will have to
quit. If we get in all of next week we
will have cleared about $4,000 for one
months work. That isn't very bad
work for three men is it? If we are as
successful this winter I'll be satisfied.

RESOURCES OF WESTERN CANADA
One of the Best Grain Exhibits Ever Made
in the United States,

The thousands of people who visited
the state fairs, held at Chippewa Falls
and Milwaukee, as well as the county
fairs throughout the state were given
the opportunity to see an exhibit of
grains and grasses and other products
Of the farm that seldom occurs. Tie
exhibit spoken of was one that was
made by the government of the Domin-
ion of Canada, for the purpose of dem
onStrating to the people of Wisconsin
that outside Of the limits of their state
and in western Canada, there .was rap
idly developing a country that would
easily maintain all the surplus popula-
ton of the OvercrOwded east The ex-
hlbit was certainly a revelation to those
who have never visited the provinces
of Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan. where the grains and
grasses were grown. The quality of the
straw, the length Of the grain heads.
the excellence of the grasses, all showed
how remarkable must be the nature of
the soil and climate that could produce
such. The threshed grains comprised
the No. l hard wheat for which that
country is so celebrated, some of it
weighing as much as So lbs to the bushel
One of the samples shown was taken
from field yielding 40 bushels to the
acre. it being the sixth successive crop
of wheat grown on that field. This is
