The latest throng about how to pro-
teet peach trees from frost, is that they
must be protected from heat; not to save
the btu 1s but to prevent their too early
dew -lopm mt. As i, well known the
peach tree responds very quickly to the
hsa. of the SUMS rays during the warm
da, of late winter and early spring pre-
ceding the late frosts common to this
Climate. The pink color of the buds is
believed 10 pay very important part
in the too early development OF ths
fruit. This is deduction of the color
theoly-shat the color OF an OBJ.
ject depends upon it's absorption
OF selected rays OF the sun.
This is true OF all color tints between
white and black; white rejecting all of
the SUMS rays AMI consequently all of
its heat; the intermediate tints absorbing
PORTION and reaecing the remainder
with the hea', and bla,k absorbing all
the color and all the heat. 1t follows
that If the peach buds were white they
would reflect all the heat of the suns
rays and would moi be maturely de.
veloped. To meet this condition of
things it is proposed to white wash the
peach tree buds by spraying the trees
with white wash. Experiment in this
line is said to have proved the theory,
and the efficacy of this method of pro.
tectiag the trees from frost bite.
This color theory is an old one and is,
OF course, we'll known. It's successful
application as suggested opens way for
interesting and perhaps profitable study
and experiment. A small orchard mig BIT
be successfully protected BY screens or
awnings arranged to intercept and re.
fsot, or absorb the heat of the SUMS
rays. and in this way the small orchard
be made quite as profitable as the large
ones. They would require less work to
care for them, less work in gathering
and marketing the fruit, and give mi C |
greater quantity of fruit from a smaller
number of trees.
Tie value of this suggestion ia in its

I1H Porto Rican tariff discussion in
Congress is brewing to be God. send to
the Democrats. IL revives the old tariff
issae and enables them to get home again
in political discussion. They are setting
the country wild over terrible tariff
that is starving the people OF Porto Rico
before it has been imposed. They are
telling OF crowded warehouses and burst
ing granari filled with the products of
the island that wait for shipment while
the people starve. We suggest that there
is inst little bit of nonsense about all
this. We cannot understand why a peo.
pie so rich in goods, and the possessors
oi so fertile soil should be starving.
Ii there is food enough in the island to
feed the people there is no reason why
they should starve: The hungry people
of Porto Rico have the frst lien on what
ever there is edible within their reach.
The man who will starve in the midst of
plenty is either coward or a fool; and
the man who will keep warehouse or
CANARY full of food waiting for market,
while his neighbor and fellow citizens
starve ie, we'll "a knave. Ii we are
rightly informed the soil OF Porto Rico is
wonderfully fertile. Edible crops grow
there rapidly and in abundance. A corn
crop, for instance, can be made in sixty
days. and il we remember rightly this
starving business has been going on dur
ing period covering several timeu sixty
days. We have no doubt but that there
is poverty and want in Porto Rico, as
there is every where else; the great out
crv about starvation, however, is a DO.
litical fake. The Democrats don't care
a hg about hungry Porto Ricans, but
think they have chance to put the Re-
publicsns on the defensive on an old is
sue, and force an abandonment of the
tariff principle go far as it relates to
Porto Rico and the Philippines. They
are demanding this on tie ground tnat
these new territories are part of the
United States. BY the same rule, if free
trade is adopted as the law for these ter
ritorlee, { ey will be crying out for the
abandonment of tariff in the United
States because these States are a part and
particle of the same government with the
islands, and then they will have cam
paign issue with which they are well ac-
qnainted. We remember that when ap-
proximate free trade was causing thon
sands of Americans to go hungry and
half clad in our rigorous climate, these
sme Democrats had no sympathy to
waste on them. Then the hungry and
idle people in this country were all in
competent, lazy good d-for-nothingt tramps.
The Democratic sympathy for starving
Porto Ricans is political fake.

MAENNERCH0R PICNIC.
Sunday Diversion, Enivened by Plenty of
Beer and Fat Lunches.

Despite lowering clouds and Souallv
weather in the forenoon, the Maen-
nerchOr society Of this city held one
Of the best attended and most sue
cessful picnicS Sunday afternoon ever
arranged under the management of
this society. The plan was to organize
a parade at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon
and march to the grounds, but the
rain spoiled this part of the program.
At 3O'clOck in the afternoon, however.
the people gathered at the grounds on
Foundry Island and the fun began.
a bOwery was arranged for the young
people to indulge in their natural pro-
penSity to dance,> and the charming
and exciting strains of HirzyS
orchestra soon put them in the mood
of dancing. The older people visited,
drank cOpiouS draughtS of beer, ate
nice fat lunches and watched with
benignant eye and indulgent smile
the joyous prankS Of the young people.
Hundreds of visitors from town were
on the grounds and mingling with the
picnic crowds. Thus passed the
afternoon.
In the evening the dance was the
principal attraction and the frolic was
kept up at rapid pace until about Il
O'Clock at night. The picnic was
success as it was, but if the morning
had been bright and nice Foundry
Island would not have held the crowd,
as many Out-Of-tOwn visitors had
signitied their intention of attending
but were kept away by the rain.

ACROSS SIX COUNTIES.
Railroad to Be Built From Princeton to
Marshfield, Distance of 100 Miles.

Madison, Wis, June 12.-President
Marvin Hughitt, j. B. Redtield and
NJ. M. Kirkman, Of the Chicago &
Northwestern company, filed articles
with the secretary today Incorporating
the Princeton & Northwestern Rail-
way company. The new company is
to build road about 100 miles long
running from Princeton to Marshtield
and passing through Green Lake,
Marquette, Waushara, Adams, Wood
and Portage counties. The capital
stock of the new company is $25, 900.
If the Northwestern finally pur-
chases the Marshtield and South
eastern railroad from W. A. Scott it
will only be necessary to build about 80
miles of railroad to connect Princeton
with Grand Rapids. There is no
further doubt in our minds that both
the Wisconsin Central and North
western people are after the Marshfield
& Southeastern railroad.

In Memoriam.

Again has the Angel of Death
passed over our city and tarried for
brief season at the home of Walter
Smith. He delivered his message to
Addie, the loving wife and mother, and
today She is not, for God hath taken
her. The news Of Mrs. Smith death SO
sudden and unexpected, came like a
shock to her large circle OffriendS and
acquaintanceS. Scarcely yet can we
realize that it is true, yet alas, it is too
true.
Addie Margeson was born in the
town of Grant, Portage county, March
%, 1861. She was married to Walter
Smith of this city April II, 1873. She
united with the NJ. e. church in 1889,
under the ministrations of Rev.
Stephen Smith, and up to the time of
her death was one of its most devoted
adherentS. For several years she was
a member of the official board and was
always faithful in the performance of
every duty assigned her. She was
conspicuous for her faithfulness in
attending all the means of grace and
the official meetings, being absent
only when i'll health or some impera-
tive duty made it impOsSi BILE for her to
be present. She was full of spirit, of
sympathy and charity for the erring
and fallen. A loving wife and sister,
an earnest Christian worker, a helpful
neighbOr and wOmanly woman. The
place left vacant by her departure can
be filled only by Him whose Spirit led
her into the higher life and whose life
she took as the model for her own.
Never very rugged,and strong for some
years past, her health has failed more
and more. But she bore her burdens
patiently, without murmur, until
she fell asleep in Jesus, Tuesday June
Il, 1900, at t6;15 o'clock. The influence
of those last moments will prove a
benedictiOn never to be forgotten.
Calm, resigned, beautiful, with the
sunlight of eternity reflected in her
face, she bade farewell to her weeping
friends as cheerfully as though she
were going upon pleasant journey.
Besides her husband and infant babe
she is survived by her father, Job
MargeSon, three brothers, ChaS., Geo.
and John, all of this city, and two
sisters, Mrs Alfred Emms of this city,
and Mrs. j. w. Bovee of Plaintield,
Wis. The funeral services will be
held at the NJ. E. church On Friday at
2p. m. with lnterment at Forest Hill
cemetery. Rev. NimitS will preach
the funeral sermon. The heart
broken husband and other relatives
have the united sympathy Of every
resident here as she was SO well and
favOrably known as to have the utmost
esteem and respect of all. When we
say that good, true and faithful
christian lady has gone we voice the
sentiment of the entire community as
everyone speaks of her in the same
kind manner

A Worthy Compliment.

From Merrill Advocate.
John DAILY and wife started for their
home in Grand Rapids this morning,
driving down. Mrs. DAILY wished to
see the country along the road between
here and Grand Rapids, and as they
had to have their team driven down
anyway, they thought they would en-
joy the ride. They will drive as far
as WauSau today.
Mr.. and Mrs. DAILY and children will
now take up their residence again at
their town home, but Mr.. DAILY will
continue to spend great deal of his
time here.
Merrill and Grand Rapids are
more closely connected than any other
two cities in the valley. In fact it
seems to be only one town. A
host Of former Grand Rapids people
make Merrill their home the year
around. Mr.. DAILY and others have
big interests here which too adds to
community Of interest.
This being the case, Merrill still
lays claim on Mr.. and Mrs. DAILY and
their lovely children.
They arrived in Grand Rapids safely
Wednesday and enjoyed the trip over
land.

WEST SIDE HIGH.
Holds Its Eighth Annual Graduating Exercises
in Opera House Friday Night

A very large crowd was present to
witness the graduating exercises Of
nine bright young students who this
year completed their course in the
schools of the West side, Friday even
ing. June s. The hall, as usual on
such occasions. was ablaZe with light
and beautifully decorated with plants
and flowers, "ClaSS of 1900" and the
motto Couture is Character" being
conspicuous in gilt letters on either
side of the stage in the front of the
hall. The stage setting was very
pretty, with a background of palms
for the interesting picture formed by
the arrangement of the class on the
stage. Flowers were everywhere pro-
fuse and feature Of the decorations.
We shall not attempt to mention
separately the merits Of the pro-
ductions that made up the interesting
ana entertaining program which fol-
lowed, suffice to say that all acquitted
themselves in such way as to reflect
honor upon the class and to call forth
the generous applause and admiration
of their hearers. All were presented
with beautiful floral offering at the
close of each number.
The singing of the school chorus was
much enjoyed by all and very meri-
tOriouS combination of sweet young
voices, and the piano solos by Miss
Myrtle Kellogg and Miss Nellie
Schnabel exhibited considerable
musical ability
The class has the distinction of fur

From Marshfeld Times.

from harSnHelO Times.
The sawmill plant of c. r. Colds
worthy at VeSper which was estab-
liShed about year ago, is now the
scene of a lively lumber business. and
the energetic proprietor is reaping
we'll merited reward for his labor and
enterprise. 1t is a circle saw mill
with d capacity of about 10000 feet
per day and now employs twenty men.
The mill does custom saving but is
now engaged in cutting timber owned
by Mr.. GOldSWOrthy who is heavy
land owner and is extensively inter-
ested in the sale of wild and improved
lands in his vicinity. Mr.. GoldsWorthy
came to Nesper several years ago from
Union Grove, near Racine, and has
done much for the advancement of
NeSper. He is member of the firm
Of GoldSwOrthy & Bailey, general
merchants, in which he is associated
with E. S. Bailey, talented young
business man formerly Of Wausau, and
is enthusiastic in support of any plan
to develop his town or the surround
ing country. Both the store and mill
plant are in fourishi2g condition
and the prospect is very bright. A
good telephone connection with this
city would be a great advantage to
the VeSper business men, and would
rebound equally to the benefit Of this
locality.

of the people Of this county it is time
L was doing So" Mr.. Tarbox is one
OF the leading republicans in this
town. and ever since he came into this
county 81 years ago last March. he has
fought that party's battles night and
day through every campaign. He has
twice held the office of county sur
veyor and there is perhaps no other
man in this county as widely known
and as favorably spoken of as Mr..
Tarbox. He certainly deserves recog-
milton at the hands of the republican
party. We do not believe that a
stronger or more sincere republican
can be found in the republican ranks
and "Ballie" is the man for the office.
