CLERK MADE AN ERROR.
And Charged DR.. Plantz With Bar
Bill.

Friends of DR.. Samuel Plantz, presi-
dent of Lawrence university, are quiz
zing him good naturedly over joke
which comes by way of a Chicago tele-
gram as follows, says the Appleton
Crescent THE best joke of the gener-
al conference of the Methodist church,
and it is an actual fact, is on Dr. Plantz,
ministerial delegate from the Wiscon-
sin conference and president Of Law
renee university of Appleton. Going
to the desk in his hotel to pay his bill he
found charge of 80 cents for the bar.
Being n third party Prohibitionist and
a man who obeys the rules of the dis
cipline, he was greatly grieved and en-
barrassed and protested that he had
never and would never patronize any
bar, even when on his Chicago outing
of four weeks. But the hotel clerk in
sisted that the bill was correct. Presi-
dent Plantz became more wroth and
refused to pay the 35 cents charge.
Finally a closer inspection of the entry
showed bath" was meant instead of
bar and the incident was closed

OUTLINE oF OPERA.

The Legend tells of Dutch captain
whom Satan has condemned, for an
offense, to sail the main forever, unless
he can find woman who will love him
till death Once in seven years he is
allowed to come ashore. The opera
opens with the landing of the Dutch
captain in search of his bride. By
means of his wealth, he gains admit
captain, who has an only daughter
Senta.
Act II represents room in Daland's
home. On the wall is portrait of the
Flying Dutchman. The maidens are
diligently spinning under the dire} ton
of Mary, the house-keeper, and sing the
usual spinning chorus. All are busy
except Senta, who sits gazing at the
portrait of the man whose fate has
touched her heart Reused from her
abstraction by the chiding voice of
Mary and by her companions, who twit
her of falling in love with a shadow,
Lenta resumes her work and, to still
their chatter, sings them the ballad of
the Flying Dutchman. When she has
described his mournful doom, the girls
Imockingly interrupt her to inquire
whether she would have the courage to
love an outcast. But when Senta de-
clares she would do it gladly and ends
by feryently praying that he may soon
appear, they are very much alarmed
The opera concludes with the appear
ance of the Flying Dutchman, who
woos and wins the fair Senta and his
salvation is indeed accomplished.

THE WlNKLEY HOUSE,
Will Change Management on the 18th
of June,

The early citizens of Wausau will be
pleased to learn that the old, reliable
Winkley House is about to be placed
into the hands of "Winkley'sn again,
or partially So THE Winkleyn is the
oldest hotel in the city today. In July,
1856, Mr.. and Mrs Charles Winkley
commenced catering to the public there,
in house, of course, much smaller
than the present spacious hotel. This
worthy couple operated the hotel until
Mr.. Winkley's death in 1891. After
that, until July 15, 1897, the hotel was
in charge of Mrs. Winkley and her son,
J. I Winkley. On the date mentioned
the hotel was leased for term of three
years to Daniel Altenhurg, who con.
Quoted the same until last September
when he sub-let it to f l., Atkins,
who has been in charge since, but dur
ing all this time Mrs. Winkley has
occupied rooms in the house.
On the 18th of June, the day on which
Mr.. Altenburg's lease expires, MIR. and
Mrs. George A Higgins, of Waverly,
Iowa, will take charge. Mrs. Higgins
was born and raised here and is a
daughter of Mrs. Winkley, and fully
twenty five years of her life were spent
in the Winkley House Mr. Higgins
came to Wausau when a young man
and his life here was very busy one,
rs he was always engaged in enter
prises that took up every moment OF
his time About twenty years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Higgins and family went 70
iowa, where they have since resided
They will receive hearty welcome
back TO their old home, and that they
will meet with success in managing the
old Winkley House goes without say
ing. They will arrive here during tht
first part of June and viii be accom-
panied by their three youngest children

THE CENSUS
And Persons Away From Home Dur
ing June.

The count of the people in the United
States will begin in all parts of the
country June /, and end in the cities
two weeks later and in the rest of the
country before the close of the
month The people are to be
counted at their places of residence,
but as many persons and families
will be away from their homes
during June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted. If
they are not counted, the locality in
which they live will be misrepresented
to that extent, and in some cases this
misrepresentation may be enough TO
affect the representation in Congress
of the State from which they come.
Local pride and state pride, therefore
should influence all such absentees to
take reasonable precaution against be-
ing omitted from enumeration IN their
places OF residence. Such omissions
are more likely to occur in the large
cities where families close their homes
and go elsewhere for the summer. The
occurrence Of the Paris exposition this
wear is likely to increase the number
absent from the country.
In all cases of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested by
the Census Office to communicate with
the supervisor of the district in which
he lives. He is also requested to leave
information regarding his answers to
the questions which are to be asked
with some responsible neighbor who
will agree to see that it reaches the
enumerator on his rounds. Such in
formation might be left as II memoran-
dun in writing, as in that case it is less
likely to be overlooked The questions
to which answers are desired apply
primarily to the population, but also to
ali farms and manufacturing establish
ments. They are being published from
time to time in the press of the country.
By taking this trouble the absent
citizen will do justice to his locality and
his state, and materially aid the Cen
sus Office in the performance of its
duties.
The census schedule will include in
quiries about the age, color or race,
date of birth conjugal condition, num-
ber of years married, place of birth,
year of immigration to the United
States, naturalization, occupation, num-
ber of months not employed school at
tendance, and ability to read or write
of all persons to whom these questions
are applicable. In addition, inquiries
viii be matie ;t6oat the ownership of
homes and farms, farm acreage, value
and quantity of farm products, amount
of livestock, etc

address of the census supervisor of this
district.

WAUSAU ATTORNEYS WIN.

A very important suit, resulting in a
signal victory for Wausau attorneys,
has just been decided by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chi
cago.
The suit involved the water power of
the Wisconsin river at Centralia and
Grand Rapids, and grew out of an
abortive effort made few years ago to
consolidate the entire water power A
corporation was formed to take the
titles of the different owners of water
power, and issue stock to them in ex-
change for their prop rty. Several
persons executed deeds of their prop
erty to this corporation, but others
whose property was essential, and with
out which the consolidation scheme
could not be effected, refused, or did
not become parties in any way to the
scheme. w Z. Mack, owner of por-
ton of the power, who had conveyed
his property to the company, employed
the firm of Ryan, Hurley & Jones, of
this city, to bring suit to have his prop
erty reconyeyed to him. Mack being a
citizen of Indiana, his suit was brought
in the United States Circuit Court He
was beaten in the lower court and APP
pealed The Court of Appeals decides
that, under the circumstances, the con-
solidation scheme having failed, or
being impossible without the eoopera-
ton of others, and he having conveyed
his property for the purpose of consoli-
dating the entire water power, he is
entitled to have it reconveyed 70 him.
The case was managed for Mr. Mack
by i. G. Ryan. of this city, and for the
defendant by Geo l.. Williams, of Mil
waukee, aud Burr w. Jones, of Madi-

Among the exhibits at the Paris
exposition was a photograph, invent
ed by Naldemar Pousen. a Danish en-
gineer, which uses a wire-wound in
stead of waX-covered cylinder. The
wire is of steel, and over it, in place
of the usual stylus. passes small!
electromagnetic connected with tel
ephone transmitter and battery. The
sound waves cause variation in the
intensity of the electromagnetic, and
the magnet, acting upon the wire
passing beneath it, leaves a perma-
nent impression upon the latter.
Upon reversing the action the wire
reacts on the magnet and correspond
ing sounds are transmitted by the tel
ephone. In order to obliterate the
magnetic trace on the cylinder it is
only necessary to revolve il under the
magnet while this is subjected to a
continuous current.

The bottles or TASKS used for trans
porting quicksilver are generally
made Of boiler iron and are cylindrical
in shape, about ~ inches in height
and four inches in diameter. with a
screw plug inserted in one end. The
capacity of flask is 1917 pounds and
its weight about IA pounds. Such
TASKS are used by all producers of
quicksilver, and pass through the
hands of various dealers till they
reach the consumer, The total num-
Der used in this country cannot be
very large, as the total product last
year of quicksilver in the United
States was but 2s,s79 TASKS, and the
same flask can be used again and
again till it gets too rusty inside. 4
flask can easily last 25 years. We un-
derstand most Of those now in use are
made abroad but an American firm
also has made them. Most of the see
ond-hand TASKS can be bought for 25
or 80 cents apiece.

POISON IN A WEARY BODY,
Human Beings Are Subject TO Spec
cies of self-PoisoninR by the
Eating of Game.

The eating of high" game is un-
doubtedly attended with risks and the
poisonous effects are probably due
to the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process,
says the London Lancet. The advan-
tage, of course, of hanging game is
that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
1t is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora-
ton of toxins. 1t has been stated
that the production of the character
istic flavors of game is related direct
ly to the amount of sulphuretted hy-
drogen or phur-alcohol set free,
but il is rather repulsive to think
that the delicate havors of game is
dependent upon that invariable prod
uce of decomposition of rotten eggs
sulphuretted hydrogen. The smell
evolved during cooking of high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
FERROUS poisoning symptoms, which
have been attributed to the face of
the game having been overturned
and fatigued. Fatigue products, in
deed, have been separated from over
hunted game which when injected
into a healthy animal have produced
marked poisonous effects. There is
no doubt that fatigue products under
certain circumstances are also elab-
GRATED in the human body and give
rise to a species of self-poisoning,
characteristic symptoms of which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in
testinal pains. The flesh Of over
driven cattle may prove poisonous
from the same cause.
This curious formation Of poisonous
products in the flesh of animals
through a state of terror or exhaus-
ton is n question well worth consid-
ering in relation TO the wholesomeness
of animal foods and emphasizes the
Importance Of Staying animals intend
ed for food in the most humane way.

"Alvord's theft of 100000 and

how thorough the auditing may be. no
matter how closely the heads watch
those under them, every man who
handles money can steal, with reason
able chance of escaping detection.
That more such men don't steal speaks
well for human nature, but must qua
ify this statement with the additional
one that many do steal and are caught.
but their employers, while discharging

WHAT DO THEY MEAN

II does not clearly appear what the
Dawson Citizens Committee means In
recommending to Lord Mimic, ."The neces-
sity OF securing or establishing a free Brit
ish port Of ertry on the western coast of
America within reach Of the headwaters OF
the Yukon river, in order to encourage the
trade and commerce between the Yukon
Territory and the other portions of the
Dominion of Canada"
What do the people of Dawson want in
the wav OF a port on the western coast of
America freer than that of Skagwav is
now? There Is here absolutely nothing to
hinder or delay trade between the Yukon
Territory and the other portions of the
Dominion of Canada. In substantation
of this It might be pointed out that while
the Yukon three years ago was supplied
exclusively from American ports now more
than 80 per cent. of its imports are from
Canadian cities.
The United States government has with
studied care made the transmission of
Canadian goods through southeastern
Alaska as cheap and as expeditions as
possible. If there is single riyllege that
the Canadians would like that thew have
not gotten from the United States it must
be because they have not asked for 1t.
As matter of fact, II could not possibly
further encourage Canadian trade were
Skagwav Canadian port. About The
only difference that would follow the trans
fer Of this city from the Stars and Stripes
to the Union Jack would be the transfer Of
the cost Of maintaining the customs house.
At the present time the United States pays
TOR the operation of a port ofentry for the
convenience Of Canadians, while If the
port were Canadian, Canada would have
to foot the bills.
Really, it,would seem that The Dawson
Committee should petition for a little
common information In connection with its
various other requests.
