Imagine John Days surprise last
Saturday evening, when, coming
through Wausau on the c., M. & St.
P. railroad, he was met by a delega-
tion of business men who gave him a
cordial invitation to move to Wausau,
especially if he contemplated leaving
Grand Rapids. They said that they
had heard he was going to move to
Merrill and if he was they wanted
him to come to Wausau in
stead. Their offers were liberal and
their Inducements cordial. While we
believe Mr.. DAILY prefers to reside
here, he has many interests north of
us that might necessitate the change
We sincerely hope nothing will be
done here to aid him in deciding to
go, but the contrary everything be
done to make his residence here so
enticing that he cannot leave us.

SOUTHERN MONEY MOVING.

The south has been waiting 80 years
for northern capital to come down to
develop its natural wealth, but the
waiting and the coaxing has been at
tended with no very great results ex-
cept in railroad development. The
Telegraph has all along believed that
the better part was for the south to go
forward in the work of developing
with her own means. We refer more
particularly to the promotion of manu-
featuring establishments. The indica-
lions now are that the south will walt
no longer. There is more or less idle
capital in every community, and 1t is
beginning to seek investment. Manu-
featuring plants are going up all
around us, and for the most part home
capital is doing the work. Formerly
it was the thing to put little extra
money out at interest. That does not
bring good results any more.
Money is too cheap for it to pay as in
other days Money cannot rust In
vaults 1t must be moving about
Idle money is dead money, and dead
money pays no fnterest-brings no
fruit TO its owner. 1t cannot be pent
up long. All the signs now point to a
great development in the near future
In southern manufacturing. We have
handled raw material long enough We
have need to put our raw products in
to manufactured articles. When the
south manufactured her own cotton
output she will have the world at her
feet, Rut manufacturing need not stop
at cotton goods. The fields Is limit
less. and it is as inviting as 1t is broad

LIMITATIONS OF THE FILIPINOS

The head and front of the revolt
is, of course, the Tagalocs, who are
supported by natives of the country be-
tween Manila and Dagupan and also
to the south who are nominally OF
other tribes but practically and physi-
cally the same as the Tagalocs. The
1nsurgent army Is made up of a class
of men who are not suited from the
lives they have led to hill or mountain
work. They are chiefly recruited from
Manila and the principal towns to the
north and south. Most of them have
been brought up to comparatively lazy
lives and to have all they wanted to
eat. The population, moreover, which
is most affected by this war is not the
hill element, but that which makes up
the great farming and trading portion.
These considerations are very i'm
portant in view of the effect of the
present rainy season on the COM
batants. From the conditions now ex-
listing, it would seem that the Filipino
army and people are going to suffer
Many of their chief sources of supply
are in our hands; their important mar
kets are cut off from them or likewise
in our hands; we have captured many
of their stores and accumulated sup
plies; and now we are in a position TO
watch the coast so as to prevent them
from getting further arms and ammu-
milton. 1t would seem to me, therefore,
entirely rational that the present war;
fare in the Philippines should be over
by the end OF the next dry season,
which begins in November. With the
strengthening of General Otis force as
now planned by the government and
with the vigorous prosecution of the
campaign during the rainy season, the
insurgents will be so demoralzed when
the dry season arrives that a few
sweeping, decisive movements of fly
ing columns into the interior should
effectually destroy all vestige of the
revolt. While it is difficult to campaign
in the Philippines at any time, it is
possible in the dry season for troops to
go anywhere and everywhere and be
followed by the commissariat. There
is jungle and there are swamps to
meet, but they are not impossible after
the rains are over. If such brilliant
campaigns can be waged as are now
going on with the rains prevailing,
there is no reason why, when they are
over, the war should not be quickly
ended.-John Barrett, in American
Monthly Review of Reviews.

COUNTESS LEAVES MADISON
Handsome Russian Woman Goes to
Sturgis, Mich, to Join Husband

Countess Nazimaw of Russia. whose
marriage to eX-State Senator A. O.
Baker OF Marion, Ind, created great
sensation last January, has gone to
Sturgis, Mich, where she will ioin
Baker and hereafter make her home.
They have baby buried there. She
recently received large sum of money
as her portion of the family estate in
Austria and Russia. The countess,
since last October, at which time Ba-
ker brought her to Madison, has add
ed several interesting chapters to her
romantic career. The first was the an
nouncement of her marriage to Baker
at GAINESVILLE. which took place early
in January. This led to the discovery
that Baker had lived a dual life for
three years, part of which time he
spent with the countess and part with
his family at Marion. Unknown to his
first wife he secured a divorce from
her last October at Wahpeton. N. D.
This he was able to do on the testimo-
ny of the countess, who, it was later
asserted, when Baker wanted to re-
gain his freedom and remarry his first
wife, had perjured herself A
second chapter added by the coun-
tess to her career while In Madison
was her Irritation with a university
student. When Baker first wanted
divorce she would not listen to it. He
sent half-dozen lawyers to Madison
at different times since January to in
duce her. if possible, to agree to a d.
Vorce. They were all unsuccessful.
After she met the student she changed
her mind regarding divorce, but Ba-
ker had heard of the transfer of her
affection and he then refused to release
her She appealed to the Russian con-
SUI IN chicago, and a meeting was ar
ranged at the consulate between the
countess and Baker Their lawyers.
however, were unable to bring them to
any agreement. Then she went to the
district attorney and wanted Baker
prosecuted for living with his first
wife. Finally, at the end of the school
year the student went home and Ba-
ker and the countess met in Chicago
and Kalamazoo and made up, the re-
suit being that she has now gone to
Sturgis to join him. She is a hand
some, cultured little blonde of 80 years.

NEWEST FANCIES IN STOCKS AND
COLLARS.

Since the days of high stocks and
collars there is no end to the variety.
Several of the fashionable women at
Newport this year have been seen in
the morning with dark linen collars
and cravats on white shirt waists, in
stead of the reverse as has been SO
long the fad. These collars and stocks
are of dark red brown or blue linen
OF the very finest quality, and are
made with the little turned-over top,
Just as the white collars are. They
are made with a tie attached of the
same material, which is crossed over
BEND and tied in front in a small bow.
These new collars and stocks are the
latest thing here, and set off a white
morning waist to perfection.--E Edith

HAVANA'S CHASTITY BONE-Y YARD.

Away off in far corner of the I'M
used part of the cemetery was an in
closure about seventy-five feet square
and fifty feet deep, with CHASTITY skulls
and bones in all conditions of qreser-
walton, and piles of burial cases of all
degrees, from costly casket down to
a cracker-box or an oil-can. This is
the inhuman manner of disposing of
the bodies buried in plot upon which
the rental is now renewed every three
years. There is ample room that is
unused, so it is not the lack of space
that causes the disturbing OF the rest
OF the dead; it must be merely for
gain for the cemetery corporation
In many cases the bodies OF the poor
are never buried at all. but at one side
OF the cemetery is building. called
the "Dead-house." in which arrange
ments are made for burning the bod
les with lime until there is nothing
left but the bones, which are then
thrown into this pit. Thousands upon
thousands were here in pile that was
fully forty feet deep and as large as
tho area Of the pit.-From Havana
