The first shipment of spawn from the
Minocqua state fishery, was made to
Eagle River, last week. 1t consisted of
% cans of pike and two cans of muscal-
longe spawn, which were distributed in
the chain of lakes. 1t was the first mus
callonge spawn ever shipped from any
of the state hatcheries as the Minocqua
branch is the only on that can produce
them.-Merrill Star.
Trains passing over the Northwestern
road between here and Norrie the past
few days have been late owing to diff
Guilty with the track. Near Norrie there
is large spruce swamp, through which
the railroad passes, and this has given
more or less trouble ever since the track
was first constructed, for there appears
to be no bottom to it. Yesterday the
noon train from the south was four hours
late. The rails spread and had to be re.
laid.
The contract for painting and cal
Ginning the county poor house was not
awarded Friday as advertised. When
the county committee on public proper
ty met that day it was discovered that
there was mistake in the wording of
the specifications and so the matter was
postponed until June g. Only four bids
were in for doing the work and to get
more the next time the county clerk
has been authorized to send out a copy
of the specifications to each contractor.
The running gear of the old hook and
ladder truck has been fixed up, box
put on the same and nicely painted and
it will take the place of the fire truck
now in use. 1t only weighs about 500
pounds while the old one weighs over
5000 without the 1000 feet of hose
which is always carried. The old truck
was received by the department nearly
so years ago, it has seen much service
and been through a good many acct
dents, yet the gearing is as good today
as it was at the time it was made The
wheels are constructed of the finest kind
OF hickory and are perfectly sound to-
day.

return and frequent their old haunts.

On Wednesday last the fOrty-hfth leg
islature adjourned sine die having been
in session 1876 days.
Among the important bills returned
with approval were those providing
for the central state accounting system;
for the appointment of woman to the
state board of factory inspectors; the
amending of the judges salary bill so as
to give the judges elected this season
the benefit of the increase provided; that
for a voting machine commission; for
county supervisors of taxes, assessment
and the resolution for the anti-pass
amendment to the constitution.
The governor in his veto message says
there is no need for a statistician in the
railroad commissioners office, and that
all such work can and should be done
by the commissioner of statistics with
out extra expense. He vetoed the COM
pulsory vaccination bill because he
thinks there is no occasion to enact such
a law, so repugnant to many good peo-
pie. He withheld his approval from the
bill extending the lime for collection of
taxes in Milwaukee, saying that the law
is clearly special, and as it pertains to
The assessment and collection of taxes,
it is void.

John Bohne, aged Is, was taken to
the home for feeble minded at Chip
pewa Falls yesterday noon, by Humane
Agent, Mrs. w. G. Dickens. Circum-
stances appear to have made the boy
what he is. Though not bright, there
is chance, under proper tutelage, to
improve his intellect. His surround
ings have been such that his mind has
been allowed to become rusty. The
boys mother is at present confined in
an asylum for the insane, and some
time ago four of his brothers and sis
tiers We're committed to an orphan
asylum. Mrs Dickens secured place
for the boy in the Chippewa Falls insti-
tuition only through the hardest of
efforts, as the home is overcrowd-
ed, and there are now over 200 applica-
tons for admittance waiting

Twain Us. Ament.

The question introduced by Mark
Twain's recent article in the North
American Review bids fair to have a
hearing Taking as his text a cable
gram reporting that DR.. Ament, in his
capacity of adjuster of damages done
by the "boxers" to the Christians in
China, had compelled the Chinese vii
lagos where the damage occurred to
pay thirteen times the amount, Mark
Twain proceeded to make comments in
his own peculiar style. Dr. Ament i'm
mediately corrected the cablegram,
showing that the amount added by him
to the indemnity was 1-3 which through
error in transmitting had grown to 10.
Mark retorted to the effect that the de-
tense was only plea of guilty to a
smaller larceny. Then newspapers,
religious and secular, entered the lists.
DR.. Joshua Smith contributed an article
in the current May North American
Review. The salient facts, about which
there is no dispute, are as follows:
In China, as in the United States, the
town or municipality where damage is
done by rioting is liable, and must pay
the losses AS to the damage, done by
the "bOxer" riots no judicial inquiry
was made; perhaps a judicial inquiry
was impracticable; and probably much
of the damage inflicted could be seen
and readily appraised by a disinterest-
ed party. 1t was appraised by DR..
Ament Eat a moderate scale of value"
according to his statement, and then
he added thirty three and one-third per
cent 'for church expenses" which was
paid by the mulcted villages, with the
indemnities.
The method by which payment was
enforced has not, so far as we have
seen, been described. 1t is more than
likely, however, that the presence of
foreign troops and the absence of any
show Of protection from their own
government made the collection an
easy matter to people who are not ac-
custOmed to other than summary means
of enforcing justice.
The New York Sun thinks that the
action of DIR. Ament is opposed to the
precepts of Christianity" and that
thereby enthusiasm for Christian mis-
sions has been chilled as it never before
has been in this county" 1t may be
that funds for the PROPAGATION of Chris
tianity in China will not be so easily
raised here as before. But is it not true
that the missionaries in China, and
their converts, have probably arisen
from humble and despised position,
and have become, in Chinese public
opinion, class to be esteemed and
hOnOred rather than scoffed at? 1t will
no longer be unsafe or unpopular to be
a Christian in China. What the mis-
sionaries may lose in home funds they
will more than make up in local sup
port in China. A religion sustained by
powerful foreign armies viii be an at
tractive thing to the Chinese. They
are liable to tumble over each other in
their haste to get into that sort of a
church.

ABOUT "ROASTS."

A newspaper man was asked, says an
exchange, to publish an article roasting
a citizen Certainly" the editor said
to the caller, what shall 1 say" He
was furnished with an outline of what
was wanted, and wrote an article that
was scorcher. That's splendid -
exclaimed the friend delightedly, when
the article was read to him. "That's
right, that'll make his old hair crinkler'
"All right" said the editor. "Let me
see, what are your initials?" Good
heavens" said the citizen, ''you are not
going to sign my name to that?'
"Why not?" asked the editor. 81
wouldn't have any one know that l had
anything to do with that for the world.
l cannot afford to get into a scrap with
my neighbor." The editor smiled benev-
olently and said: "Wby should | mix up
in a scrap that does not concern me?
Why should you expect me to assume
the blame for the publication of an ar
ticle to which you are afraid to sign
your name?"

THE Milwaukee S en- tinel has deterio-
ated very fast since it came under the
control of Charles Pfster. It's editor
ials are undignified, more becoming to
a second rate weekly in a town of 900
inhabitants, where opposing editors are
possessed of the idea that their very
existence depends upon the amount of
mud they can throw at each other
The primary election bill was as dead
as a door nail the moment it was pre-
sented to the legislature. Still the Sen
tinel thinks il was killed by its mud
battery. Flushed with the exercise of
jumping on to the corpse, the Sentinel
is now engaged in trying to extermi-
nate Gov. La Toilette and his followers
This is horse of another color and in
the conflict that is to follow we predict
the downfall of the Sentinel.

In commenting upon Gov. LaFollett's
veto of Hagemeister substitute for the
the primary election bill, the Central
says:
As the matter now stands, the fight
for pure and representative caucuses,
conventions and elections must be
fought over again and men elected to
the Legislature who believe platform
pledges are made to be enforced and
not simply to get in on.
Pretty severe on Senator Kreutzer
and others like him, who voted against
the primary election bill, and sincerely
believed that he was serving his cOnstit-
uents better by voting in that way.

Both the Northwestern and st. Paul
roads run excursion trains from this
city to Chicago on Saturday evening.
The low fare, which was $3.50 for the
round trip, was taken advantage of by
many, and though the time was limited,
yet all enjoyed themselves fully in view
ing the sights of the Western metropo-
lis. At the St. Paul depot 50 tickets
We're sold, and the Northwestern COM
pany disposed of g. of its cheap rate
pasteboards. The weather was beauti-
full and we have been unable to learn of
anything that marred the pleasure of
those making the trip.

PRACTICAL STUDY.

Friday last, Prof. G. E. Culver, of the
Stevens Point Normal School, brought
his class in geology up as far as Most
nee, where the members spent the
afternoon in taking a practical study in
geology. They arrived in this city in
the evening and spent the night here,
going up the river in the morning as
far as Granite Heights, where the party
made study of the rock formations in
that vicinity, and returned home in the
evening. Those who composed the
party were {:
Prof. G. f. Culver, Jessie Ames,
G.. f. HousewOrth, Grace Arnott,
7. B. Policy, Alicia De Riemer,
A. e. Brown, Merl Ames,
A. E. Dawes, Hy. RuX,
VIM. Healy.
This plan of practical study was con-
ceived by Prof. Culver over a year ago,
and last spring the first excursion of
the class was inaugurated. The plan
appears to be good one and meets
with the approval of the students.

Queen Victoria's Giftto Leonora Jack
son

The career of successful artist is full OF
happy incidents and adventures. Leonora
Jackson, the violin virtuoso, is no eXcep-
ton 10 the rule. After her brilliant sue
cesses in London and in England, Miss
jackson, to use court language, was com
manded one day to appear at Windsor
Castle before the Queen. She was oyerloy-
ed at the invitation, but went in fear and
trembling, lest she should commit some
breach of court rules. OF course, she had
herself properly instructed in court Ell
quette and her teachers pronounced her
perfect, but she was anxious. To her de-
light no difficulty occurred. She was APP
piauded be everyone from the Queen
down, and the Sovereign finally decorated
her with a costly ieweled star, a unique
design with eight points, set with rubies
and sapphires and bearing the crown and
royal monogram, V. l. X.
Miss jackson and her concert company
appear in the Randolph entertainment
course next Wednesday evening. Reserv-
ed seats at Bass Saturday and thereafter
