MORE PIKE LAKE NEWS.

That the town of Pike Lake furnishes
more news for the papers of this city
than any other town in the county is a
fact that is unquestioned, and hardly
has one matter cooled ere another is
stirred up. Why this we is do not know
or pretend to explain, but it is a fact
nevertheless. The latest is case in
which Joseph Wanta is the principal
On Tuesday last Joseph was arraigned
before Justice j. A. Jones, of this city,
charged with embezzlement
In 1892, Mr.'Wanta was elected to the
Office of treasurer of school district No.
A of that town, aid has held the office
continuously since that time up to
November 3d of the present year, when
he handed in his resignation. He was
succeeded by John Lewandowski, who
after making an examination of the
books found discrepancy which on its
face showed shortage or a blunder in
accounts. This shortage amounted to
S524.41, which Wanta was requested to
pay. He accounted for and paid up
$50 40, which left balance.of s465 80,
which he refuses to pay. Thereupon
Mr.. Lewandowski swore out warrant
for the arrest of Wanta, and he APP
peared before Justice Jones on the day
named above and his examination was
fixed for January Sd, giving bonds in
the sum Of 81, 900 to appear on that day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
TEN CENTS"
TEN CENTS" !"

An incident happened at the Hotel
Mitchell, Tomahawk, last Tuesday
afternoon, which will long be remem-
berad by those who witnessed it, The
Wisconsin River Valley Advancemel.t
Association was holding a meeting and
the directors were discussing weighty
questions which affected the very ex-
istence of the association. w II. Brad
ley, president, was in the chair and was
chopping off useless debate in his terse,
businest-like way and his stern, digni-
fed appearance made one shy of ex-.
pressing himself. But there was one
individual who appeared in the midst
of the deliberations who seemed as
much at ease as if breathing the air of his
own tepee or treading his favorite forest
paths in search of game, and that w;&
old Indian Pete" 1t is said that he is
the Oldest living Indian in Wisconsin.
that his age is over 100 years, and 1or
over 60 years he has been an individu-
al we'll known to those who have trav-
eled frequently to the northern wilds,
and came in contact with the Chippewa
tribe of Indians. For years Indian
Pete" has been in the habit of touching
Mr.. Bradley for a little money at the
holiday season, presumably for the pur
pose of purchasing presents for his
grand children, great grand
children, and probably great, great
grand children. He always got what
he was after, for "Bilp' Bradley has tbs
reputation of being an over generous

''Bout hundred years.
He believes it. He did not look it
then; he was erect and robust. He
does not look it now; he is still erect
and robust.
Chez -Gwa-'I Indian Pete does
not appear to attach much Importance
to what he declares to be fact-that
he was about hundred years old when
German Bouehard first came, and is
still about hundred years old. He
merely insists upon it. He has num-
erous family. Upon just what basis he
makes the claim of being about hun

daily press, he can give the white popu-

quarter or half century to spare. 1t is
always difficult to get the Indians to
talk of themselves or their family af-
fairs. BY dint of countless questions
some of Che -Kee-Gwa's family admit
ted that it was legend current and un-
disputed that Pete, away back there,
was mighty wanderer and that his
ramblings led him to the tepees of the
braves of far away tribes; there were
hints that on his return from one of
these distant treks he brought back

Thus it is seen that Wausau shows up
better than any other city ot the state
of from Il, 900 to $1,000 inhabitants.
But it was our design to call atten-
tion more particularly to the Wisconsin
valley, and its prosperity. as indicated
by the growth of its cities.
The total growth of the six cities
mentioned is 1O,95S. This growth has
not occurred during season of general
prosperity. In fact during nearly the
whole ten years business conditions
generally have been bad. But the bust
ness men of the Wisconsin valley,
weathered the long panic and the
troublesome periods preceding and fol-
lowing it, and failures were very few and
ridiculously disproportionate to those
prevailing throughout the nation. We
do not recall a single business fail
ure occurring in Wausau during the
entire period Yet all this prosperity
has come to the valley, during these
troublous time without any booming.
boasting, or advertising. The outside
world seemed scarcely to know that
we existed Recently this condition
has changed. The great natural re-.
sources of the valley, and its unrivalled
wealth of water power are becoming
known abroad; and we predict that
during the next ten years this region
the Wisconsin Valley-will have far
greater development, and increase in
wealth and population than any other
part of the state. Facts are facts, and
what the Wisconsin Valley has in, store
wherewith to repay industry and capi-
tai is not hidden under the ground, but
is visible to the naked eye, in its great
wealth of timber, its unexcpiled farm
ing lands, its fairy lands of lakes for
summer guests, and its water powers
unrivalled anywhere. No one who APP
preciates these factsran doubt the great
prosperity which will come to the
valley in the very near future.

tINlS is WRITTEN
TO the Book of Life of John Liver
more, an Old Resident of the City.

Saturday morning, shortly after nine
O'clock, John Livermore died at his
home on jackson street, after long
Illness The end had been momentarily
expected by those who had watched
over him for weeks past, and had he
been man of less rugged constitution,
could not have survived as long as did.
Since early last March, Mr. Livermore
has not been well man, and those
who knew the nature of his disease
knew that it was bnt a question of time
when the end would come In the fore
part of March he suffered a stroke of
paralysis, but was up again in few
days, however, but has had several
more attacks since that time. the last
one overcoming him about eleven
weeks ago, one side being totally
paralyzed, since which time he has
been confined to his bed For weeks
past he has been unable to speak, but
still retained some of his faculties
Mr.. Livermore has resided in this
city for twenty years past, during
which time he made many friends, for
he was always genial, and was possessed
of many redeeming traits of char
acter Always careful in his business
dealings he had by persistency, amassed
a considerable amount of this worlds
goods. He was lover of fast horses,
and for years had been possessed of
number of good animals, in which he
took great pride He spent much of
his idle time driving these horses, and
took great pleasure in the same.
Mr.. Livermore was born near Lapeer,
Mich, January 20, i347. He spent his
boyhood on farm, working on the
same during the summer months and at
tended school in the winter, and by
perseverance gained a good common
school education Later he opened ur|

HOBOS GALORE.

For a time lately the police officers
have not had much trouble with that
class of beings who constantly wonder
over this domain, produce nothing and
live an easy life, and are known as the
genus hobo. Within the past two
weeks, however, there has hardly been
a night but what one or more of these
wandering indigents have been round
ed up by the officers and given bed
and breakfast in the morning, and
started off to some other town. But
last Friday evening the toughest bunch
that has struck this city in a long time
rolled in. Eight of them boarded the
train at Marshfield and when conductor
Mike Clancy approached them and
asked them for fare, they refused to
pay and would not get off the train
when told to do SO. Seeing that if he
attempted to put them off he would
have a fight on his hands, and the train
crew not being large enough to do up
the gang, he decided to let them ride.
Two of the tramps displayed big re-
volvers which are bad things to go up
against. Clancy wired to this city and
told the officers to be prepared to cap
ture them. Captain Chellis summoned
the night force and, with four men,
went to the depot and as soon as the
train arrived the car was surrounded
and fhn hnhnc FOL bon IN, RxN.x 4
jugged. Three had dropped off the
train between here and Edgar, two of
these being the ones that had guns.
They offered no resistance but made all
kinds of threats. When they appeared
before Judge Miller in the morning
they gave their names as John Will
liams, James Kelly, Chas. Allen, Jas.
Vandall and John Finn, and pleaded
guilty to the charge of vagrancy. They
asked the judge to show them leniency
and also made request that their SEN
tence might be suspended By making
their pleas for suspension of sentence it
was plain to be seen that they were old
timers, and showed enough knowledge
of court proceedings to convince one of
this fact. The Judge decided that it
would be good plan to feed them on
light diet for awhile and accordingly
sentenced them to ten days in the
county Jail, to be fed on bread and
water during that time, to which SEN
tence they strenuously objected.

ELKS' ANNUAL.

The Elks' Eighth Annual Ball to be
given in the Alexander on the night of
December 98th promises to be more
elaborate and more largely attended
than any of the ANIMALS for several
seasons past The visitors from the
neighboring cities will be legion;
several house parties, with their full
quota of comopolites from Minneapolis,
Milwaukee and Chicago, will be in
full swing at that time and the "Uni-
versity Air. will be supplied by the
hosts of students home for the holidays
from Lawrence, Vassar, Northwestern
and Madison; it is a safe guess that the
natives will be outnumbered by 'the
strangers without our gates.
The COMMITTEES in charge have all the
arrangements well in hand and especial
attention is being given the music.

being the only city in the valley whose
