INSTITUTES PHOTO GALLERY.

Sheriff Marquardt intends that in the
future any crooks caught within the con-
fines of Marathon county shall not pull
the wool over the eyes of the aulhori-
ties. In the case of Harmon and Potter,
the two crooks sentenced to Waupun,
an account of which is given elsewhere,
it was not known for certain thae they
were old offenders, or had done time
before If this had been a known fact
to Judge Silverthorn he would have
given them a much longer term. There
have been several instances of this kind
in past years where prisoners have es-
capped the full limit of the penalty due
them Marquardt intends hereafter to
take snap shot photograph of every
suspected crook brought to the county
Jail. that the same may be forwarded
to prison authorities of surrounding
states for Identification. The authorities
here have received an unusually large
number of inquiries and notices to be
on the lookout for crooks, and with the
present rate of incarceration of prison
ers in the county jail the sheriff expects
that at the end of his term he will have
established a record of having fed 300
prisoners. The number for the ten
months of his term so far has exceeded
any two years previous in the history
of the county.

PLEADED GUILTY
And Got Four Years Each in the State
Prison at Waupun.

The prisoners arrested some weeks
ago at Portage and brought here as
suspected robbers of the store of John
Gardiner at Spencer, are now safely
lodged in the state prison at Waupun.
John Harmon and Charles Potter, the
names to which they answered, evil
IDENTIFY thought at first that they could
not be convicted, and so worked game
of bluff, until they saw that the evil
dence against them was too strong to
preclude of the possibility of chance
for them to clear themselves. As stated
last week, they were taken over to
Spencer by the under-sheriff and dis
trict attorney for Identification, and
were positively identified as two men
seen in Spencer on the day of the rob-
berry in question. That changed the
aspect of their defense, and they saw
prison walls staring them in the face,
and rather than get a longer sentence
by standing trial they decided to plead
guilty. They made their wish known
and Judge Silverthorn came down from
Merrill on Thursday when they ap-
peared before him and were sentenced
each to serve four years at hard labor
at the Waupun state prison, the 25th of
each January during the intervening
time to be spent in solitary confinement.
These two men were without doubt
connected with nearly, if not all, of the
burglaries committed of late along the
line of the Central road. Had they
been released or acquitted of the charge
in this case they would have been re-
arrested by United States rlarshal on
the charge of having burglarized the
postoffice at Abbotsford recently, and
no doubt they were the guilty parties.
The place in which they are now con-
fined will have a tendency to make
these two have a respect for Wisconsin
and her laws hereafter, for they claimed
to be non-residents of the state. They
were taken down to Waupun last Fri
day morning by Sheriff Marquardt and
Will Chellis.
When the officers arrived at Waupuu
with the prisoners they were at once
recognized as old offenders Potter has
served two terms at that institution be-
fore, the last time going under the alias
of Roberts, and in both instances he
served time for burglary. Harmon
done time there once before for carry
ing burglars tools and went under the
name of Harris.

EQUAL TAXATION.

A circular has been issued by the
State Tax Commission to the county
boards, calling attention to the law
passed by the last legislature, making
it obligatory on the part of the county
board to elect supervisor of assess
ment at its annual meeting. The COM
mission urges that good men be select
ed, and that highest rate per diem be
allowed which is $3.50 The commits
sion is desirous of securing fair and
an equal assessment throughout the
state and to that end, in its circular,
says
1--WE assume that all members of
county boards are desirous of securing
just and equitable county assessment,
and that at least majority consider
that the legal rule requiring property
to be assessed ut full value is wise
provision and that its enforcement is
necessarily in order to secure justice and
uniformity in assessments. All men,
bers holding such views should take
especial care and see to it that its
assessment has been in good faith mad
at full value in compliance with law,
and that no district whose assessment
is made otherwise should gain any adj
vantage or reward for evasion or omis-
sion Of duty on the part of its assessing
officers"
1t will take time, but in few years,
it is hoped that our state will have an
ideal system in good working order.

RETURNED TO PARENTS.

a month or six weeks ago a stranger,
giving the name of Lon Allen, blew
into town and hired out to work at the
sandpaper factory but after working
there for some time was discharged.
He boarded at the Park hotel on S. Sec
Ond avenue and formed quite an
acqlrlintanceship among the younger
element. A number of boys yet in the
indiscretionary period sought his COM
pany, and to these he related wonder
full tales of the forests of Northern Wis
consin. He was mighty hunter and
fisherman and knew of sections of the
woodland that for game would make
old Nimrod and Isaac Walton turn
over in their graves, could they but see
them, He implored some of these
youngsters to gather up their loose
scads and follow him, to leave the mon
otonousabode of civilization and haunts
of white men, and 90 to the northland,
where they could live in peace with
dame Nature and hunt big game. One
of these youngsters, fired by Aliens
yarn, consented TO go. This was Ralph
Mayo, resident of the west side, and
about three weeks ago they started out
Allen owed considerable of bill at his
boarding place, but that did not deter
him, for he slipped his belongings
through a window and departed with
the boy, getting as far as Rrokaw the
first night, where the two slept under
tree at the edge of town. This was
tough on the boy for the weather was
quite cold, but he was informed that
this was a custom of the noble red man
whose habits he must emulate. Next
day Allen begged of the boy enough
money to purchase ticket to Toma-
hawk, but which left the latter only
enough to 60 as far as Irma, from which
place he was told by Allen to walk the
balance of the way. He did so and met
his new found friend, and together
they went into Manson's camp near
Gilbert. The boy gave the name of
Johnnie Allen and was given job in
the cook shanty, while the other was
given a job swamping. Rufe Manson
suspected something wrong and mott
fed the Tomahawk authorities of the
matter, who in turn telephoned to this
city. The officers here had been aware
of the boys disappearance from home
and under. sheriff ChelliS went up Sat
urday morning and brought the boy
home and returned him to his parents
Though he got into the woods he did
not get the experience he was looking
for, but he did get experience that may
be of value to him in the future.

MORE SMALL POX.

The predictions made since last win
ter by newspapers and doctors, in re-
gard to the prevalence of small pox
again this winter are to be more than
fulfilled from all reports now coming
to the health authorities While we
have had but few cases in the city as
yet, we are most likely to have quite a
number ere long. Quarantine was
placed yesterday on or houses at
Hatley, and there are about the same
number under quarantine at the Inger-
soil mill in the town of Norrie. At
Bevent, and through the town of Pike
Lake the cases are numerous, while in
the town of Hewitt small pox has
spread to such an extent as to become
alarming. 1t is feared that the con-
slant presence of the disease in the
county will interfere greatly with
school work during the winter season,
and though the law may make the
school children be vaccinated there
viii still be Il danger in conducting
school.

DEFEATS AMIGO.

The boys of the high school foot ball

of that city, which resulted in victory
for the Wausau boys by score of %

attendance and the crowd was pleased
with the game, though it resulted ad-
versely to the Amigo players. The
Grand Rapids boys play here next Sat
urday. The Wausau team has made a
great improvement in its playing since
it suffered defeat at the hands of Grand
Rapids few weeks ago, and therefore
a good game may be expected.

TRIED TO ESCAPE.

About two weeks ago a tramp was
arrested for stealing macintosh at
the store of Henry OSWALD at an early
hour and was given thirty days in the
county jail He gave his name as Terry
Flannery, had lost one eye and the other
was 5lackened and appeared to be
tough character all around. He was
set at work al the county Jail saving
wood and on Thursday last during an
unguarded moment of his attendant,
jailer Phelps, he made a dash for lib
erty. He ran across the lot to the lum-
ber yard opposite, but was caught by
Phelps and Dan Delnodar 1t has since
developed that he was in a conspiracy
with the burglars Harmon and Potter.
1t is believed that these two have burg
lars tools and money hidden in the
vicinity of Portage, and it is known
that they carried on communication
with Flannery which probably resulted
in the disclosing of where the articles
are concealed After being brought
back to Jail Flannery was put in the
corridor of the lower cells with Fred
Winkleman, who is serving time for
carrying skeleton keys, pending an in
quiry. Flannery is large, husky man
and as soon as the jailer left the cell
room he accused Winkleman of having
let the cat out of the bag and made an
assault upon him. The result was that
before Sheriff Marquardt gained en-
trance, after hearing the row, Winkle-
man received a severe cut over the fore
head by falling against the iron bars.
Flannery has since been confined by
himself in a cell and will stay there
until his time is mn

CONCERT FOR THE LIBRARY.

The concert given BY Miss Bertha
Trevitt, last Wednesday evening, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Literary
Club, for the benefit of the public
library building fund, proved pro-
nounced success. The seating capacity
of the Grand Opera House was taxed
to the limit and all who attended were
loud in their praises of every number
on the program. Those who took part
were Miss Belle Heinemann and Mrs.
4. V. Speer, on the piano; DeEtte Nc.
Eachron, cornet solo; Mrs. H. H. Fos-

Miss Bertha Trevitt, reading; three
Winninger Bros, in musical specialties;
and Phineas Pease, sleight of hand
performance; Mrs. H. E. McEachron
and Mrs. Clinton Smith, accompanies.
1t is not necessary for the PnoT to
90 into details, the simple mentioning
of the names of those on the program
is proof sufficient to all that the enter
tainment was of very high order.
About $500 90 was added to the library
fund.

1t is with feeling of pardonable
pride that DR.. Turbin points to the
work he is doing in this community.
The testimonials he can present give
some indications of its extent and char
acter. But its real scope and nature
can only be learned from the hundreds
of patients who are receiving the atten-
ton and care of this physician
A genuine enthusiasm pervades these
good people, who, in many cases, bring
their friends to DR.. Turbin to receive
treatment also. The mild and painless
methods in use by this physician are
exceedingly gratifying to those who
have suffered from the harsh forms of
treatment in vogue with doctors who
have not learned that the use of acids,
electrodes, hot wires, caustic, and
escharotics, has been relegated to the
bleeding and cupping refuse of other
days.
All cases undertaken by DIR. Turbin
are given the closest and most pains
taking attention. Some people may be
indisposed to obey the impulse that
prompts them to 60 to this physician,
because they have prejudice against
advertising doctors.' DR.. Turbin
has frequently defined the line between
physicians and doctors" OF the latter
there are as many as can be counted;
of the former, DR.. Turbin stands alone.
The work he does, the result he shows,
the practice he possesses, show he has
no equals in his specialties.
DR.. Turbin will be in Wausau Tues
day Nov. 9TH, at the Bells hotel
