MANY COMING TO NORTHERN
WISCONSIN.

Through the efforts of the railroads,
mostly, who have had lecturers out
with stereopticon views, many people
will be brought to Northern Wisconsin
this year 1t is thought that it will be a
record breaking year in that respect.
The Stevens Point Journal says /:
During the next two weeks the immi-
grafton movement is expected to begin
in earnest, and The road is making ex-
tensive preparations to take care of the
home seekers.
Land Commissioner Killen of the
Wisconsin Central states that the ac-
reage in the northern part of the state
has doubled in value the past year.
The people have awakened to the fact
that sheep will thrive there as well as
in Colorado, Montana or any of the
sheep-raising districts.
During the last two years The Ameri-
can Sheep Breeder, the official organ
of the sheep raisers of the country, has
started up sheep ranch of 1900 acres
near Fiield for the purpose of showing
what can be done in raising sheep.
The Angora goat has been introduced
in Ashland and Taylor counties, and
appears to thrive as well as his relative,
the sheep.

ANNUAL MEETING.

On Friday evening the annual parish
meeting of S. Johns church was held
and was largely attended. The treas
urers of the Guilds, by their reports,
show surplus of cash on hand and
prospects bright for the coming year.
Church treasurer, r. W. Pinder, re-
ported that independent of the Guilds
there had been raised during the past
year ST, 1857, while the expenditures
were S1,OO6.70. s. Marthas Guild has
raised by weekly cake sales and other
wise about S40O, and the expense has
been about half that amount. S. Cece-
las Guild, after paying the expense of
the choir, has a balance on hand of
S242 The treasurer of the Sunday
school reports balance on hand of
S24 Sc, the Bible class treasurer S1S,
while s. Agatha's Guild has placed in
the bank, to the credit of the church,
$62. The debt of So, 800 which has been
hanging over the church has been re-
duced to S122, which no doubt will soon
be wiped out. During the rectorship
of Rev. Cordick the congregation has
greatly increased in numbers, and he
feels greatly satisfied at results. The
following officers were elected:
Sr. Warden-E. d. Pardee.
Jr Warden-E. l.. Bump.
Vestrymen-W. C. Silverthorn, P. 0.

HOW ABOUT THIS 2

Some time ago the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company made application to
the city council to be granted permis-
sion to paint irSs poles green from top to
bottom. This did not exactly comply
with city ordinance, for the ordinance
reads that companies shall paint poles
a dark color ten feet above ground and
the balance white, but to get out of the
matter without difficulty the petition
was granted. This happened in early
winter and as yet that company has
done nothing toward complying with
the ordinance. The move was no
doubt ruse of the company to delay
time, and the presumption is that it will
do nothing in this direction until forced
to. The Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany, ever since its organization, has
browbeaten municipalities, and it is
high time that its methods in this city
were called to a halt. Other companies
operating in Wausau have compiled
with the request to paint poles, why
can't the Wis. Tel. company?

BASE BALL MATTERS.

Several base ball players are expected
here about the 25th and Immediately
afterward the work of organizing a
team win be commenced. To start
with, several home players will be taken
on and tried, and if they prove too slow
will be dropped and their places filled
with outsiders more expert. John
Mahafey, who has been signed as pitch
er, is an old veteran of the diamond,
and will give valuable assistance in
coaching the younger players. He is the
only player so far that is under contract,
although the chances are that AL. Buege,
who played here in '97 and who played
with Toronto, Canada, last year, will
be signed. Sec'y Underwood and L. J..
Kretlow will go to Appleton next Satur-
day to attend state organization meet
ing of the Wisconsin League. The
diamond at Warren park will be
ploughed, dragged, rolled and all stones
raked up, and possibly layer of red
clay will be put on The grand stand
will be fixed up, and everything done
to give Wausau patrons of the game an
opportunity of witnessing good games
on good diamond.

RAILROAD MANS PRAYER.

An old railroad man having been con-
verted, was asked to lead in prayer.
The following was the response: 30
Lord, now that 1 have tagged thee, lift
up my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck of
the train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence, make
all the couplings in the train with the
strong link of love and let my hand
lamp be the Bible, and, heavenly Father,
keep all switches closed that lead off the
sidiLgs, especially those with a blind
end. D Lord if it be thy pleasure, have
every semaphore block along the line
show the white line Of hope that / may
make the run without stopping. And
Lord, give us the Ten Commandments
for a schedule, and when / have finished
the run on the schedule time and pulled
into the great dark station of death may
thou, the Superintendent of the uni
verse, say "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant; come and sign fhe pay
roll and receive your check for eternal
happiness. Railroad Gazette.

June, write to this Office for blank pc
titiQn.
Only ten or twelve of these meetings
can be held and we already have a
number of petitions on file. If you

NEW RURAL ROUTE.

Unclo Sans Rural Route Agent, j.
p Walker, was in the city last week
and has recommended to the depart
ment some important changes in the
postal service in this section. The old
rural route, or Route No. as it will
now be called, will only include terri
tory IN the towns of Berlin, Maine and
Stettin, which change was made neces-
sary by the establishment of post
office at Brokaw, and of the further
fact that the people refused to build
bridge across the river at BrOkaw and
the carriers could not cover the entire
route in day. This route will be
from this city to Taegesville, west 81
miles, south miles, east ] mile, south
2 miles, then following the Mara
thon City road back to city, covering
25 miles and serving, 900 patrons.
Route No. 2 leaving this city will follow
the Smith road two miles past Sunset
p. O., north l mile, west mile, mile
north, thence west II miles to Pat. Cur
rams farm, then south to the creamery,
then to Nutterville and back to the
city over the Wausau road, covering a
distance of "A miles and serving about
600 patrons. By the establishment of
the new route a discontinuance OF the
post office at Nutterville and Sunset
will result and this route will in all
likelihood be put in operation in about
two weeks.
Ralph Newell will deliver the mail
with compensation of S400 annually
with the additional sum of 500 for
horse and rig.
This system of delivery is practically
in its infancy as yet, but its growth so
far, and the results obtained, have
been wonderful. When the idea of
establishing this system throughout the
country was suggested some four years
ago, it met with much opposition and
it was only through the greatest effort
that the measure was passed. But now
that the results are seen, the scheme
has supporters without number. At
the time the present head of the depart
ment, H. Conquest Clarke, assumed his
Office there were but 40 routes through
the country, now this number has in
creased to nearly 5000. Then there
was an appropriation of $50, 900 by con-
gress for the maintaining and establish
ing of these routes, now the appropri l.
ton is S5,000,000. At that time the
Washington staff consisted of but four
persons, while now, exclusive of car
riers, it takes over 200 clerks to keep
the machinery in operation. Over
1900, 900 people of this country receive
their mail daily through this system.

TOUGH ON THE BOYS.

Ignatz and Frank Kuntz, aged 10 and
II respectively, living iii the village of
Spencer, are scsE;ng 60 days sentences
in the county jail on complaint of their
father, they being sentenced by Justice
Smith Of that town If the story of the
boys is true, and there is every reason to
believe that it is, the act with which the
boys are charged with doing ought to
be commended instead of them receiv-
ing punishment for it. The old man,
according to the boys story, is an old
"boozer," mistr9ats his family and does
other acts not in accordance with par
entail duties. Since the boys have been
able to earn living he has confiscated
their wages and blown the same in for
booze" Lately he secured the young
er boys money but the older one re-
fused to give up his winters earnings.
After filling himself up with whiskey
the old man came home one day and
proceeded to whip his wife whereupon
the boys came to their mothers aid and
took the old man down and tied his
feet. When he had sobered up he felt
aggrieved and went to the above named
justice and secured warrant and had
the young fellows arrested. They were
brought before this same justice, who
gave them a 60-day sentence.

ENGLISHMAN'S TOAST.

A well-known local minister who has
Just returned from an extended western
trip tells the following:
Recently in Los Angeles five prom
entgentlemen offoreign birth chanoed
to meet. One was Russian, one a
Turk, one Frenchman. one an Ameri-
can and one an Englishman. These
gentlemen became bosom friends, and
finally champagne supper was pro-
posed, at which each gentleman, to be in
keeping with the times, was to give a
toast to his native country, the one Civ
ing the best to be at no expense for the
wine. Here are the toasts given:
The Russian" Here's tn The stars and
bars of Russia, THAI were never pulled
down
The Turk Hers e, the moons Of
Turkey, whose Wiugs we're never
clipped
The Frenchman-"H Here's to the cock
of France, whose feathers were never
picked"
The Americau-"H Here's TO the Stars
and strips of America, never trailed in
defeat"
The Englishman-' Here's to the rum
pin, roaFin' Ion Of Great Britain that
tore down the stars and bars Of Russia,
clipped the wings Of Turkey, picked the
feathers of the cock Of France, and ran

RUNAWAY.

On Friday morning Carl Gohdes, of
the town of Texas, drove into town and
stopped in front of the Fitzgerald store
on Third street. A shavings wagon of
the Alexander Stewart Lumber Co.
came by and frightened the team. The
horses started south and at the inter
section of Grant street collided with the
delivery wagon of John Kiefer, break
ing the vehicle and throwing the horse
against the store front. DR.. Walters
horse was standing near, and hearing
the noise broke his tie-strap and started
down the street. and ran as far as the
Y. M. g. A. building on Scott street be-
fore being caught. No damage was
done outside of the smashing of Kiefer's S
delivery wagon.

HERMANN THE GREAT

refused to sell Hermann any eggs at
all, after he had offered to buy all she
had He next took pack of cards
from bunch of watercress, extracted
a cantelope from a lady's bonnet and
topped it off by inducing an irate
butchers nose to rain tomatoes at
Herrmanp's deXterous touch. A darkey
had been an interested spectator of
Herrmann's pranks, and gazed at him
with all the ear marks of the supersti-
tiOus awe for which the cOlored race
are noted He was prepared to run at
the slightest movement of the professor
towards him, Luck willed an exciting
denouement. Hermann made move
in his direction and the darkey started
to run. At the same time policeman
who had been attracted blythe crowd
appeared upon the scene, and catching
a glimpse of the flying darkey with
Hermann in pursuit, made for the
couple just in time to see the professor
pull live chicken out of the darkey's S
pocket. This was enough for the
ap6ceman, who, not stopping to ask
any questions, grabbed the frightened
darkey by the coat collar and hustled
him to the station house. A darkey
with live chicken in his possession is
clear evidence of guilt down South,
and none of the expostulationS of the
laughing professor could alter the en-
ormity of the offense in the eyes of the
guardian of the peace. The professor
was compelled to follow the policeman
and his charge and the bowling crowd
to the station house, and there explain
the incident before the release of the
darkey could be effected. Hermann
will be at the Opera House tonight.

DR.. TURBlN ON
NERVOUS DECLINE.

DR.. Louis NJ. Turbin, eminent Chi
cago specialist, in both his public and
private lectures, explains why it is that
those who have nervous prostratlve
debility and decline of mental and bod
lily forces are not successful in obtain
ing cure at the hands of the average
doctor DR.. Turbin says: mo matter
what the cause, whether habit, excess
or over work, the lost powers of the
body can be restored only by such treat
ment and remedies as will supply the
body with the actual elements lost 1t
is more or less a chemical problem as
the body is made up of certain elements
which must be constantly renewed to
sustain the body in health and main
tain it in power Thus it will be seen
that all the treatments which call for
the use of specifics, electric appliances,
belts, applications, etc, are worthless
When the victim of debility applies
to be cured, the first thing TO do IS to
stop vital drainage and remove the
cause. In such eases, | have system
of treatment which acts on all the
organs so that nature can take what
elements she wants to build the brain
and body. In men who have debility
such as varicocele, structure, etc, can
give the vitalizing course, which cures
in perfect manner" DR.. Turbin will
be in Wausau, Wis, and can be CON
suited in perfect confidence and free Of
charge.
DIR. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day, April 23d, at the Bells Hotel.
