A "DOUBT1NG THOMAS"

BY refusing to believe the firmly re-
liable stories from Rhinelander, relating
to Gene Shepard's pet Hodag and its
interesting family, the editor of the
Wausau Pilot has placed himself on
record as doubling Thomas" In
the last issue of his paper he says:
Evidently Gene Shepard has been
doing some more prevaricating, or else
the Milwaukee News correspondent has
been hitting the pipe" The age of
his HOdag is given as 1000. Delving
into mythology does not disclose men

native of Rhinelander and vicinity,
and to make the story stronger the
author might just as we'll have added IA
few more thousand years to its age.

Mr. Thayer's lack of faith in present
day manhood's regard for the truth at
all times is partially excusable, for it
probably is fact that some men, under
stress of circumstances, will occasional

Gene Shepard's veracity is an unpard-
enable sin. Gene hasn't any CHERRY

his claims to truthfulness, but his neigh

old it's a safe bet that the animals age
is in close proximity to what the figures

RECRUITING.

Sergeant VIM. Brinkman, of Milwau-
kee, was in Wausau on Thursday and
Friday, and during that time, made ar
rangements for the enlistment of any
who wish to join the L. S. Army. He is
maSlng his headquarters at Stevens
Point, and will enlist for all branches
OF the regular army ana especially tor the
Philippines service, either in the cavalry
or infantry, also for the engineer corps.
In the latter 800 men are wanted, mostly
mechanics and woodsmen. DR.. Rosen-
berry has been appointed examining
physician, TO whom any one desiring to
enlist may go and take examination
free of cost. If the applicant passes
examination, he will then report to
Sergeant Brinkman There does not
seem to be any desire on the part of our
young men to join the regular army and
we think it would be a difficult matter
to find any who would care to go to the
Philippines.

The Paper-Making Industry
IN the Wisconsin Valley.

To relapse into figures for moment,
it is shown by the talk with Mr.. Whit
ing, that SO, 7A, 900 is annually brought
to the Wisconsin Valley where nine
years ago not a dollar was received
from this source, while $4,000 day is
paid out for labor and material, and yet
there are several projects for new mills
even as far north as Rhinelander and
Eagle River. To go into history more
extensively, in 1870 the second paper mill
in Wisconsin was established by Mr..
Whiting; Kimberly, Clark & Shattuck,
who organized the Globe mills at Nee
nah, then the biggest of the two mills
in the state, the gross product of which
was 5000 pounds per day. To day there
is made in the state of Wisconsin, $50
tons of paper daily with gross value
of more than $11 100000 a year or 81, 800
a day. More than SO, 000,00 is paid out
for labor and material, and the paper
making industry of Wisconsin Is yet in
its infancy. With the utilization of
hemlock and other woods, the supply
of timber is practically inexhaustible
for half century to come.-TOmahawk.

IN THE TOLLS.

Early last week officers at Lacrosse
discovered a man breaking into a
freight car. He was arrested and
placed in jail for trial. 1t has since de.
veloped that he is the same man whom
Officer Chellis arrested last summer for
burglarizing the saloon of Chas. Klein
on Washinton street, and was tried at
the last term of court but was not con-
yicted for lack of sufficient proof.
He gave the name of VIM. Franklin,
and while confined in the county jail
here the officers looked up his record
and it was very shady one. Previous
to coming here he had done time in the
Minnesota house of correction at st.
Cloud. He had all the appearances OF
crook and no doubt was guilty OF
the burglary. The Lacrosse people
will no doubt shove him over the road
for he was caught il me act and there
is no hole for him to crawl out of.

A POOR RELATION.

At the Opera House on Tuesday even
ing was presented "A Poor Relation" a
play made famous by Sol. Smith Rus
sell, an actor known to all theatre
goers That the play is good is well
known and the company that presented
it was one of the best that has been seen
in the Opera House since the opening.
Mr.. Frank keenan,, who played the role
of Noah Vale, is prototype of Russell.
His ease and manner of acting are the
same, and it is claimed by many that
his Interpretation of the poor inventor
even excelS that of Russell. The play
is of character that appeals to the
hearts of the audience, and there is not
a line in it that critics can criticiSe.
The character of Vale, a victim of cir
cumstanceS, who lives in poverty, but
a man of genious, stands out in brilliant
contrast to the wealthy rogue who
robbed him, and he gave proof that
beneath Il ragged coat there sometimes
beats the warmeSt heart. Keenan, was
supported by an excellent company.
Manager Cone will make no mistake
in booking more plays of this high
standard.

SAY IT is SOLD.

The Grand Rapids papers are of the
opinion that the Northwestern railway
company has at last secured the control
of and title to the Marshfield & South
eastern road between Nekoosa and
Marshtield, basing their opinion on the
fact that the Northwestern has ordered
its real estate agents to cease buying
any more right of wav paralleling that
road as was recently intended. The M
& S. f. is 80 miles in length and has
been in existence for II years. 1t was
originally built by the private capital OF
some of the leading citizens of Grand
Rapids but later, through financial diff.
ficulties, it fell into the hands of its
present sole owner, W. A Scott, OF
Grand Rapids.-St. PIT. journal.

LAWYE HOME,
One will be Instituted at Merrill Very
Shortly.

On Friday last an association of law
yers purchased the T. B. Scott mansion
at Merrill to establish a home for in
digent lawyers and their wives. The
sale took place at Milwaukee and was
brought about by Chas. Gibson, of Mer
rill, who for number of months past
has been at work on the project. The
price paid for the property was $1,000
little over one-seventh of the original
cost of the house. Work will be com
menced Immediately in fixing up the
grounds and by July 4th it is expected
that a formal opening of the building
will be made This will be the first
institution of the kind ever established
in the country and literature explaining
the movement will soon be sent out all
over the country. The inmates will be
expected to pay a nominal sum for
their keeping, provided they are able
but none will be turned away on ac-
count of poverty. The home will be
supported by popular subscription
The mansion contains % rooms and
was built by T B. Scott u years ago al

it he died and his wife followed him to
the grave shortly after His son then
sold the place to a Chicago club but il
was never occupied, and it after
wards passed into the hands of the
Barsanti estate of Chicago. The house
is situated on a bluff overlooking the
city of Merrill, and is only three blocks
from the main business street. The
Wisconsin river runs at the foot of the
grounds The house contains ali
modern conveniences, including a
Turkish bath and cedar wardrobcs and
dressers, library, billiard and card
rooms. The rooms are spacious, the
windows large and ample, and the
house contains a considerable number
of fire places and other delightful
features. The grounds are of such a
character that they can be terraced
without much expense, and cottages
could be built overlooking the river.

Heart Rending Accident at the Kronen-
wetter Saw Mill, that Results
in the Death of August
Stark.

One of the most thrilling ac-
cidents, that we have ever been
called upon to chronicle, and only
fatal one that has happened to
mar the quietude of our pleasant rural
district, occurred Tuesday morning, at
seven A. NJ, whereby August Stark,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Stark
lost his life.
He was employed in the Knowlton
mill as scaler of lumber, but during the
temporary absence of his brother Alois,
Who has charge of the lower part of the
mill, trimmer belt came off, which
frequently occurred and August as it is
supposed, thinking he could readily ad-
just the same, went down stairs and
put the belt on without stopping ma
chinery as was usually done, but in an
unsuspecting and unwarning instant
that terrible shaft had caught the cloth
ing of the unfortunate young man,
hurting him about with the momentum
and rapidity of its nature. No one saw
the beginning, but one of the employees
above, heard him say Help me Henry"
he hurriedly went to August's relief, he
reached the scene, just as he was hurled
from the shaft, August looked up and
said, "What happened me Henry?"
They hurriedIy wrapped him in blankets
and fastened to his home but a short
distance. As he met his father, at the
door he said, 81 am hurt pa, pray for
me-"
Drs. Fish of Mosinee and Sauerhering
of Wausau, were Immediately tele-
phoned and everything that medical
skill and human power could do to
alleviate the sufferings of the unfortu-
nate was done, but the shock was too
great and as he came out from under
the influence of the anaesthetics he said
Il am so tired. give me a drink of
weIer." He sank back on his pillow
with prayer on his lips and peacefully
expired
August Stark was born in Knowlton,
Wis, Sept. 9th, 1880. Thus in the 21st
year of his life, was he stricken down,
when ambitious hopes fill the heart with
sunshine and happiness. August was
one of the most exemplary young men,
always merry and light hearted, throw
ing pleasant deeds and words in the
pathway of his friends and they were
legion. He was ever ready with help
ing hand, as his last act on earth testi-
ties.
Would that every life could reach its
eternal resting place, with the purity
humiliation and sacredness that was
entwined so closely around and about
that. He was devout Catholic and
belonged to the G. X. order, being
secretary of this branch. He carried an
insurance of $1,000. Besides his par
ents he leaves two brothers, Alois and
Wendell FIVE sisters, Mrs. Z. Malone, of
Wausau; Mrs. A. Miller, of Polonia;
Anna a sister of Notra Dame, Mllwau-
kee, Misses Mary and Grace who live at
home.
The funeral was largely attended, be-
ing held at the KnowltOn church, Rev.
Dickopf, officiating, with interment in
Catholic cemetary. 1t was in charge of
Catholic Knights. Pail bearers being,

The matter of building new bridge
across Rib river near the town of Stet-
tin, which has been before the county
board for the past two years, has been
settled at last. The bridge was origi-
nally built by the county years ago,
and the people of the town of Marathon
claimed that the bridge was unneces-
sary and therefore refused to keep it in
repair or build a new one, maintaining
that this should be done by the county.
The county bridge committee after
looking over the old bridge on Thurs
day last, decided that the maintenance
of the bridge is necessary that school
children may attend school as well as
for other purposes. They also decided
that the town of Marathon will be COM
PEELED to build the bridge.

initiation fee is small, yet it generally
costs a new member more than II cents
