REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.


Yesterday Jacob Mortenson pur-
chased the Gouldsburry property on
Franklin street As he was already the
owner of two lots east of that one, it
gives him very fine building site, on
which, we understand, he will soon
commence the erection of fine resi-
dence.
The residence on the property was
purchased by Win DeVoe, who will
move the same on to the lot, corner of
Seventh and WARREN streets, of which
he became the owner yesterday, pur
chasing the same from Mr.. Pradt. Mr..
DeVoe will have the bGilding moved
early in the spring and occupy the same
when completed.

NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
Prof w. A. Henry Says That Cheese
Made Here Beats the World.

Prof. w. A. Henry, dean and director
of the University of Wisconsin Agricul.
tural Experiment Station, recently
wrote a letter to B. F. Mcmillan, with
reference to cheese making. The fol.
lowing extract from same will be inter-
ing reading to those interested in stock
rGsing in this section:
1--WE wish to thoroughly impress up
on the people of this great common
wealth that while southern Wisconsin
can make better cheese than northern
Illinois, northern Wisconsin can easily
lead the central or southern part OF the
state. This is made possible by the
milder summer climate, the abundant
cool, pure waters, and the luxurious
grasses which will grow everywhere in
our new north as the lands are cleared
up. If we can only get the people to
talking of the great possibilities of the
cheese industry in our new north, it
will be worth millions of dollars an
nually to that region. **** You
will be pleased to note that we have at
this time 42S students in the College of
Agriculture. OF these 1T are pursu-
ing the dairy course, learning to make
butter and cheese as they are manufac-
tured in the factory. **** Mr..
McKerrow tells me that there was a
splendid institute held at Marshfield in
which you took great interest. Marsh
field is already becoming cheese cen
ter. Our effort is toward not only more
cheese factories but cheese of better
and higher graie.
Yours very trGely,
W. A. HENRY,
Dean and Director.

NOVEL LAND ADVERTISING.

The Wisconsin Valley association
may get valuable hint from western
railroad as to how to induce immigra-
ton.
A novel way of booming farm lands
is credited to the general passenger
agent of the Atchison, Topeka and
Sante Fe railroad He has had travelling
about the west an expert shorthand
writer to visit individual farmers in
their homes, find out what success had
been met with, and then write letters
at their dietation, addressed to eastern
friends, telling all about the big crops
and resultant good times. This private
secretary goes about with team, and
carries a small writing machine
and stationery. He interviews the
owner or renter of each quarter section
on his route, and writes down the in.
dustrial situation as it really is in that
neighborhood. He tells just what luck
was had with wheat, cattle aud hogs,
decribes the climatic conditions, men,
tons Mary and baby, and sometimes
winds up with the story of lifted mort
gage and money in the bank. This
personal correspondence is followed up
at the head offices of the road by mailing
appropriate advertising literature to
the farmers friends. Beneficial results
are said TO be already manifest to the
railroad. When a person living back
in Ohio receives a letter from his former
neighbor written on n typewriter, be
naturally concludes that any country
which is prosperous enough TO warrant

chine is worth investigating American

R. w. PINDER VERY. SICK.

r. w Finder, while visiting in Ste,
vens Point, was taken very sick on
New Years day, with pneumonia.
Although very sick he came home and
all of last week was not expected to
live. At present writing he is improv-
ing and the prospects are for an early
recovery. His hosts of friends hope
this will prove to be the case. Mr.. Pin
der had tremendous holiday trade
at his Penny Store, and in attending to
all the details of the business he was
pretty well tired out when all was over
and he fell an easy victim to the disease.
Wausau can hardly afford to have
such an energetic man as Mr.lPir der

There has been a recent discussion
as TO the employment Of women as de-
tectives in hotels. in shops and in p0-
lice cases. Women have been employed
as private detectives for years by the
various agencies In cases requiring
specially fine work For procuring
evidence in divorce cases they are Oft
en- employed and their aptness has been
proved. the woman detective can
change her Identity with her costume
far more easily than a man. n she is
tactful she ~ win confidence and will
arouse no surYieion. These advantages
ft her peculiarly for the work. Women
have in recent years made records in
the big department stores, where they
detect shoplifters and pickpockets.
These women dress as though on a
shopping tour and are not known TO
the saleswomen. They pass about from
counter to counter examining goods,
but manage to keep an eye on people
they suspect and follow them about
until they see them actually taking
goods from tie tables. In the customs
service about a dozen women are en-
ployed as customs inspectors. They
look out for women smugglers and have
been very successful in detecting these
fair swindlers Of the government. It
Is not the amateur smugglers or the
immigrant that these women look aft
er, but the women who OF late years
have made a profession Of smuggling,
acting In collusion with men and ap-
parently making the trade pay well.
They are always good looking, well
dressed and literally supplied with
money. which they dispense in gener-
GUS tips TO the stewardess and boys.
Women take naturally to smuggling;
SO the professionals are adopts at the
game. Even the average woman likes

10 Cramps

The rather unique distinction Of hav-
ing furnished shelter to more tramps
during 1900 than any other one person
is claimed by Jacob Hiestand, Of Here
ford, Pa. who has made a practice for
several years past Of furnishing lodg
ings in a large barn on his premises to
all wanderers who cared for such ac-
commodation. BY a list kept by Mr..
Hiestand, it is shown that in 1900, 752
lodgings were granted. divided as fol-
lows: January 81. February AZ. March

Previous records show that In 1893
Sol lodgings we're granted, while in
1898 only 4S2 weary ones called to
lay their bodies to rest. The highest
number that called during one night
was twelve. which consisted Of a
whole family. husband, wife and child
ren. who were on a journey through
the state II is no rare occurrence for
six or eight to call in the evening and
apply for a nights lodging. The only
rule enforced by Mr.. Hiestand is that
the dodgers give up their matches and
all are glad to do SO. the lucifers being
returned to them on their departure.
During his long experience with
knights OF the road. Mr. Hiestand has
been caused no trouble. each guest ap-
parently doing his best to give no oc-
casion for complaint. It is very seldom
thai he is called upon to feed any Of
his dodgers. all being satisfied with the
shelter afforded.
Among the travellers who seek shell

in certain sections at stated intervals
