THE DAVIS SUCCESSION.

Governor Lind for reasons best
known to himself, rendered the APP
pointment for Senator to succeed
Hon. c. X. Davis. to Judge L. w.
Collins, of the Supreme bench OF
this state. While every way
qualified for the position-and the
HERALD does uot hesitate to say
he is its first choice for the high
honor-yet he could not accept for
reasons very well known to Mr..
Lind. He promptly declined. He
could not do otherwise. His home
is at St Cloud and the only hope
he could have for an election would
be to antagonize the candidacy of
Senator Nelson, both being from
the same locality. His loyalty to
his party, which has declared in
convention for Mr.. Nelson, would
alone have prompted him to de-
cline. Furthermore, he has just
been elected for six-year term on
the bench, which he would have
to resign for the uncertainty of a
legislative fight for election. Few
men have the opportunity to de-
cline the office of United States
senator. Judge Collins did. The
Governor has since rendered the
appointment to c. A. ToWne, and
he has accepted ir. He gets what
ever of honor there is in serving in
the senate for a few weeks. The
legislature will elect early in the
session, and then Mr.. Towne's term
will expire. NJ
Of all the candidates thus far
mentioned, including Thomas
Shevin, M. E. Clapp, Thomas Low
ry, F. H. Peavey and R. G. Evans,
the HERALD is firmly impressed
with the conviction, founded upon
a knowledge of the men and their
capabilities, and all are good; that
Robert G. Evans combines more of
the qualities for the place than any
of them. In point of ability he is
unequaled by the best of them; in
devotion to the state the equal of
the best; while all of them are of
unequestioned integrity. Mr.. Ev-
ans is still a young man, in the
prime of life, and growing. He
would be fit successor to the re.
vered Statesman whose loss the
state so deeply deplores.

The Mccormic District,

=
A pleasant Thanksgiving AT
Home was given to the parents and
friends by the pupils OF the McCor-
mic Lake district at the school house,
on Wednesday evening, November %,
1900.
The school room was prettily deco
rated with eyergreens, corn, pump
kins, pictures and crayon sketches on
the blackboard. representative of a
Thanksgiving dinner. The program
consisted OF songs and recitations and
impromptu talks by the school direc-
tors.
The recitations were remarkably
we'll rendered and must have been a
surprise to the. parents. from the fact
that so little time had been deYoted to
preparation.
The teacher has reason to feel proud
of her pupils, for all are ambitious,
and take pride in their work.
The coming together of both pupils
and parents in this way must result in
good; as the parents can see for them
selves, the necessity OF constant and
regular attendance at school. The
custom OF keeping. the boys out, or
letting them stay away one or two days
each week, is altogether too prevalent
in some country districts.
To obtain the best results there
must be no staying at home or tardi-
ness. K. L. s.

have lived on their farm where she
died, and twochildren have been boon
To them, one, a. daughter, surviving
her mother. Mrs. Brown has been in
her usual health, which was fairly
good, but about nine O'Clock in the
evening, while preparingto retire, she
complained of difficulty in breathing,
and within ten minutes she was dead.
1t was a terrible shock to her husband
and daughter, who have the sympathy
of all. She was devoted wife and
mother, esteemed by large circle of
friends for her sterling worth.

Carl H. Mueller. The two former have
been trustees for over thirty years and
She latter for twenty-five years. Truly
the people OF Wausau are under lasting

UNJUST

The Merrill Advocate takes occasion
in its last issue, to numerically score
the commercial traveller because one OF
their number shot and killed a mer.
chant at Rhinelander That paper
says:
Tomorrow at Rhinelander will occur
the preliminary examination Of j. b.
Robbins, the travelling man and pro-
fessional masher, who some time ago
shot and killed w w Fenelon, prom
inent merchant, of that city. The
Oneida county authorities should leave
no stone unturned to convict that des-
picable, low-lived william. That Rob
bins is Il type of large class of repro
bates who sell goods for a living and
endeavor to ruin young girls as pas
time his actions while IN this city few
days before the Bhinelander tragedy
conclusively proves"
After liking them to the keepers of
Northern Wisconsin stockades, the
Advocate further says:
Every community ought to have a
vigilance committee whose duty 1T
should be, if not to shoot on the spot
every travelling masher that comes
along, ut least be prepared to at all
times give him good dose of tar and
feathers"
This remarkable TRADE on CONNER
cial travellers is closed with the follow
ing most damaging and libelous Ian
guage:
"a great deal has been said about
the stockades of Northern Wisconsin,
They have demanded the attention of
philanthropic organizations through
out the country, but in our opinion the
ssockades do not half the damage that
is done by the MASKING travelling
gentry. And as we said when we men
toned the tragedy at Rhinelander the
great mistake that Mr.. Fenelon COM
mltted was to pummel Robbins for in
sulting one one his clerks, he should
have shot him on the spot"
That Mr.. Fenelon was killed in the
manner that he was, is greatly to be
deplored, but because it happened to
be a travelling man Who did the shoot
ing, is no reason why the whole class,
in measure, should be censured in so
contemplate manner Robbins is
young man, good looking and of pleas
ing address; it was his first trip. He
meets young lady and they indulge in
the pastime of flirting Mr.. Fenelon
misjudged the situation-the young
lady says oherself--and went too far in
his zeal to resent fancied insult.
The Advocates article is grossly un-
just to an army of the most intelligent
and respectable men in our land.
True, you will find few bad men
among them, but we will guarantee
that the average will not exceed that
of any other profession
To follow out the diabolical teachings
of the Advocate, would give the right
TO every lover in the land to shoot the
fl { stranger who dared to look
askance at his best girl. Chris, we do
not see how you can look travelling
man in the face until you make the
omende honorable.

FOR A PARK.
To THE EDITOR

To THE EDITOR:
In the last issue of PILoT you sug
gested that the city purchase the forest
on north Sixth street for park purposes
| wish to raise my voice in behalf OF
this movement. For years the citizens
have urged our city councils to pur.
chase suitable grounds, covered with
timber, for parks, at a time when
they could have been had for trifing
cost. Opportunities have been allowed
to pass by and the land in question,
cleared off for residence sites, so up to
date the city has not single park of
its own, and some day we will want
one so bad that the cleared land will
be purchased at 81 600 per acre and
trees will be set out, where the others
were cut down, but it will take twenty
FIVE to thirty years to grow them to the
size of the original forest. How foolish
all this is If the forest on north Sixth
street can be purchased for $4,000 per
acre as per your statement, the pres
enC city administration is very foolish
not to purchase enough for good,
roomy park. 1t is the only handsome
wooded spot on the banks of the old
Wisconse, within the city limits. The
writer doubts that it can be purchased
for $50 per acre as he was told that Mr..
Parcher wanted 800 per acre.
Mayor Anderson is a man of ideas.
ask him as a citizen and tax
payer, to take as many of the coun-
Gil men as possible up to the park site
on mouth Sixth street and make an in
vestigation. If the forest can be pur-
chased at $50 per acre and they agree
that it ought to be preserved for park
purposes, arrange some way to take it
out of market, for public use We
should have half dozen parks. would
suggest that enough land should be
purchased of the Alexander Stewart
Lumber Company, also, to take in the
south bank of Jim Moore creek and the
famous Jim Moore spring.

NOTES ON EACH DISPLAY.

Edgar-Excellent flavor; package not
neat; color off little; salt not uniform.
Halder-Off on flavor and triflle on
color, otherwise prime.
Schofeld-Best made butter, but off
in flavor owing to inferior milk.
[ Stettin-Good flavor. but off on other
points.
Sunset-Medium good all through.
To butter makers, the fair was great
! educator. All the butter on display
would compare favorable with the best
in the state, but Prof Carlysle showed
where improvements could be made.
There was quite fine display of
home grown tobacco by Mr. Bauman
of the town of Berlin.
A number of Wausau merchants had
nicely arranged booths on this floor, in
the new part, there were A. w. Mumm
wall paper, stationery and fancy arti-
! cles carried in his line.
The Cash Trading Store of the west
side, which had sewing machines, etc.,
on exhibition.
&. Sawyer, the west side harness
maker had harness and whips on dis
play.
James Montgomery, the east side
hardware merchant had a fine line of
majestic ranges attractively arranged.
The Northwestern Flint and Sand
Paper Company had their first piece of
sand paper on display. Apparently it
was as good sample of sand paper as
any in the market 1t is claimed that
it is the first piece ever made west of
Pittsburg.
r. w. Finder had display of crock
cry, etc.
A fine lot of different grades of ex.
celsior was shown by the Chicago Ex-
celsior Company.
Rhode had fine exhibition of
stringed musical instruments, brio a.
brac, etc.
In this part of the agricultural build
ing was also the fruit display, and it
was great exhibition. To those who
had thought that apples, plums, etc,
could not be successfully grown in the
county, il was great surprise.
There was an agent from the Cana
dian government who had an excellent
display of grains in the sheaf and
grasses. These were attractively az
ranged and the agent explained how to
procure land in his country and his in
ducements were very alluring.
On the upper floor was the large
county map, each town being shown in
different grains, the whole bordered by
corn in the ear. The railroads were
represented by heavy copper wire and
the school houses designated by small
American flags. The map was made
last year by Secretary Wright and
Others. This year it has been improved
lin many ways. On one. side of the map
were collection of large photographs
Of farms of Marathon county. The
map and pictures have been taken t.
the state fair The usual amount o.
fancy work WAS on display on this fiool
and the ladies had some very fine work
on exhibition. The art department
contained . fine collection fiom tn.
, studioS of home artists. Preserves
fruits. cut aoEers and pOtted plants
the school display. etc, were also at
ltractions on this floor

IN AGRICULTURAL HALL.

| A trip through the different depart
ments, by PILoT representative,
showed a wonderful fair, and every
available space flied. As usual, in the
agricultural building, on the loser
floor, was displayed the farm produce,
and such display was never seen there
before, nor we doubt if it can be ex-
ceIled in the state The entire space
was filled.
Everything was especially fine this
year and the farmers seemed to take
great pride in arranging their displays.
All kinds of produce were about the
same as in previous years, with the pos
sible exception of corn. The north
west corner of the building was given
up to the corn display, and there was a
crowd in that vicinity all the while
examining the different varieties on
exhibition. There were corn stalks
there which were fifteen feet high The
farmers of Knowlton had a space as
signed them and they arranged their
own display in very attractive man
ner.
The Marathon County Asylum had its
old space in the southwest part of the
building and had an unusually fine dis
play of vegetables and all kinds of
farm produce, also articles made at the
asylum.
The display of wild and tame grasses
was very creditable. This is the first
year that this has been done % any
extent, but Secretary Wright was
anxious to show the people that Mara
thon county was especially adapted for
stock raising, and therefore made an
extra effort to get together fine col
lection and was very successful. Fred
Dumdie, Herman Amhaus, Chris. Volk-
man and j. H. Zimmerman had very
fine displays in this line.
The display of creamery butter ex-
celled anything ever seen in onr county
and demonstrated that this industry
was becoming of considerable import
ance to our farmers. We give below
the scores of each creamery, and close
perusual of the same will be of benefit
to all interested
