The E-nits of War

Not long ago 1 visited the town Of
NoVara, in northern Italy. There in q
Wheatfleld the farmers have plowed
up skulls of men until they have piled
up a pyramid 10 or II feet high. Over
this pyramid some one has built a can
opy to keep off the rain. These were
the skulls Of young men of Savoy, Sar-
DINA and Austria-men of IS to 35
years of age, peasants from the farms
and workmen from the shops-who
met at Novara to kill each other over
matter in which they had very little
concern.
Further on Frenchmen, Austrians
and Italians fell together at Magenta,
the hue of the blood that flowed out
under the olive trees. Go over Italy
as you will there is scarcely spot not
crimsoned by the blood of France,
scarcely a railway station without its
pile Of French skulls. You can trace
them across to Egypt, to the foot Of
the pyramids. You will find them in
Germany-at Jena and Leipsic, at Lut-
zen and Bautzen and Austerlitz. You
will find them In Russia at Moscow,
in Belgium at Waterloo. "a boy can
stop bullet as well as man." said
Napoleon. And with the rest are the
skulls and bones of boys 'ere evening
to be trodden like the grass. Popular

DEDICATION.

An occasion of unusual interest was
enacted on Sabbath, November Gath.
in the history of our thriving and ener-
getic neighbor, the town of Edgar.
Namely, the first services and dedica-
tory exercises in the Presbyterian chap
ell which has just been completed. The
building is a monument to.the energy.
devotion and faith of an elect body of
women, who, years ago, established a
Sunday School without outside help or
suggestion and who have proved the
rallying point around which, by the aid
of the business men and firms of Edgar
and many of its people, with the gener-
Gus help of friends in Wansau, the
church edifice has been erected.
Rev. S. n. Wilson, of this city, had
charge of the services and preached
both morning and evening. He was
ably assisted by Rev Joseph Brown,
Rev. c. G. Hamilton and H. c. Riemer,
now in charge of the field. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam'l. Martin were also present
to joyously participate in the triumph
of the day. Mrs. Martin, before her
marriage, heroically through cold and
hardship, held the work together for
sixteen months when no one else could
be found to take it up.
The church was well filled at the
afternoon, as well as the morning and
evening, services. Splendid music was
provided by the local talent, and appro-
pirate decorations made even more
homelike and inviting the beautiful
calcimined and frescoed interior.
A debt of some $3.50 or more
rested upon the building By earnest
and persistent work some 1925 was
raised in the morning and something
over 800 at the evening hour. They
yet need 500 to cover thelr actual in
debtedness, not to speak of work that
should be done. The whole structure
has cost something over 5000 and is a
credit to the village, and will prove
an incalculable blessing in all the years
to come.

EXPRESS THANKS.

At a special meeting of the Library
Board, held November 23d, a commun-
ication was submitted from the county
board relative to vacating the room in

structed to acknowledge the communi-
cation and to express thanks for the
use of said rooms. Mrs w. e.. Dickens,

tees of the Wausau Public Library, to

Queer Turkish Fish.

April 10 is the great fete day of "Ba-
lukli," or place of fishes. This is a
small church situated outside the walls
of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest Of Constantinople by the Turks.
AT the time Of the invasion, however, a
monk was cooking some fish there
when a messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered CONSTANT
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for its healing powers.
\ church has been built over the
spring dedicated to Our Lady Ci the
Fishes" and on this day a regular pill
grimage takes place from all parts OF
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
er, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth Of the story is proved
by the presence in large marble lined
tank In the church of the lineal de-
Scendants of the half cooked fish. Any
one who does not believe has only to
look in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their ease.

VIII Consider.

Ellis b. Usher. who is on the Milwau
kee Journal, wrote the following to
that paper, yesterday:
81 met Walter Alexander, of Wausau,
at the Auditorium in Chicago, Saturday
and was surprised to find that he was
there to see doctor. Mr.. Alexander
was just out of the house after severe
illness of three weeks. In the few
minutes talk that had with him, Mr..
Alexander told me, in reply to a direct
question, that about all he knew of the
gubernatOrial talk was what he had read
in the newspapers. He hadn't talked
about it, and nobody had seriously pro-
posed the thing to him.

the chief thing needed to make him Il

had not yet framed his own conclusions.
am satisfied, however, that he is not
going to treat the matter light
ly, and that will be surprise to, many,
because he is "a busy man, with very large
responsibilities. If Walter Alexander
is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, predict his
nomination and election, and that he
will be popular executive. He has
hosts of friends up north. He needs
nobody's money but his own to cam
paign with, and he has plenty of it.
He is vigorous and versatile as a cam
paigner, and if he wants to amuse him.

from business, he can afford the luxury.

already, and is thinking about it, as he

WAR AND ITS LESSONS.

The lecture delivered by Rev. Adam
Fawcett Wednesday evening at the
Baptist church was quite well attended.
The subject of Mr.. Fawcett's discourse
was "War," and his remarks were lis
tened to with interest. He presented
his views on that subject from the
standpoint usually taken by the clergy,
that war is always to be deprecated
rather than glorified. The military
hero is usually accorded more honor
than is given the man whose deeds
work for the betterment of human kind,
which is a fact to be deplored. By the
advancement of time, larger guns are
made, huger warships constructed, and
more men trained to murder their
fellow beings. Mr.. Fawcett drew a
picture of the sorrowful side of war.
OF the aged father and mother await
ing sons return. OF the faithful wife
or innocent child who long for the
homecoming of husband and father,
and of the sorrow manifested in that
home when the news comes of his death,
and perhaps of his burial in an un-
marked grave, never to be seen again
by loved ones. 1t is then that Sher-
mans prophetic words War is HE'LL
strike true to the heart.

IT seems that Admiral Schley will
have to foot the bills caused by the
Court of Inquiry, and that it will bank
rupt him. He has refused to allow his
friends to help him IN the matter.
Truly, Schley is a much abused man!
He is an officer of the navy and will
therefore receive S., 900 per year as long
as he lives, but the money laid aside for
his family will have to go. The greater
part of the prize money received for
destroying the Spanish fleet went to
Sampson, but Sampson cannot prevent
Schley from getting the glory of whip
ping the Spaniards at Santiago.

A Pot walIoper.

The parliamentary register for 1896
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper In all England. One see
ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that a pot walloper was
a species of ichthyosaurus or some 9TH
er reptile of a past age. 1t will be dis
covered upon inquiry, however, that
the term pot walloper" is literally one
who boils pot and was applied to yot-
ers in certain boroughs of England
where, before the passage of the re-
form bin of 1892, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled (walloped)
his own pot in the parish for six
months.

Sea Bathing.

a person can easily determine with
one indulgence whether or not open
air bathing is hurtful to him. If cir
culation is speedily restored after he
has left the water, If his skin is well
Redeemed and he is soon well warmed
up and as strong and lively" as when
he took his first plunge, then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. If, on the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for 10
or 90 minutes, Notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for
an hour or more afterward he is weak,
dull and languid, then he may be toler-
ably certain that there is something
wrong swith him which forbids cold
bathing.
