A Country Breath.
BY SUSAN HARTLEY SWEET.


A hay1oad in city square.
The sweets of whole summer fair,
In one rude wagon piled;
The fragrant breath of warm. still rains,
The scent OF Strawberries in green lanes,
Faint petals blown from roses wild,
And straightway all the bustling place
is niled with some enchanting grace,
And tinkling with the notes
~ held.larks, and of silver streams,
" soutn winds, murmuring their dreams
Through airy aisles of oats,
My lady in the gilded shop
Let's all the tawdry trinkets drop,
And through the magic sees
dooryard sweet with mint and phlox,
And pink with ruffled hollyhockS,
That nod to belted bees.
The sooty laborer with a thrill
Plucks sh mrocks on the Irish hill,
A gamin cheers and chatfs;
All busy footsteps pause bit,
Somewhere is toll by clear skies lit,
A sunburnt world that laughs.
And long and long the sweetness stays,
And cheers and cools the heated ways,
Like happy news from home,
Till the pale moon and misty stars
Look down as if, by meadow bars,
Their rays touched clover bloom,
But little recks the countryman,
Bound homeward on his empty van,
Along the closing martS,
What store he brought with him to-day,
Or what, within a load of hay,
Could touch so many hearts,
Youths Companion.

What the Pine Trees Said.

1 heard the swaying pine trees speak
As I went down the glen;
"Next year, "said one, "the wind shall seek,
But find me not again!
81 shall 60 forth upon the seas,
A mast or steering beam;
On me shall breathe the trOpic breeze,
Above, strange stars shall gleam."
"And 1.-The ak shall cleave my grain,
And many times divide;
From my dear brood I'll shed the rain
And roof their ingleSide."
Then up and spake slender shaft,
That like an arrow grew;
sNO breeze my leaf1ess stem shall watt,
No ak my trunk shall hew-
"But though single hour is mine,
How happy shall be!
Young hearts shall leap, young eyes shall
shine,
To greet their Christmas-treew

NEW BOX FACTORY,
A Big Plant in Course Of Erection on the West
Side,

The Badger Box & Lumber Co.,
sounds like purely Wisconsin pro-
duct, and so it is. 1t is the child of
Wisconsin men, born within the past
week at Grand Rapids, and if all goes
well the infant industry will be
turning out all kinds of boxes by
August 1St, or at most by September
lSt.
This new company is organized with
John DAILY of this city, as president.
J. S. Thompson of Merrill. vice
president and general manager. and
E. J. Daily. son of John DAILY. as
secretary and treasurer. 1t is capital
lied for S25,0 900, and the factory will
be very completely equipped plant
when ready for operation.
Mr.. Thompson, the general manager,
is thoroughly experienced man, in
this line of work and will have
complete supervision OF the plant. and
will make this city his home to be
near his work.
The foundation for the new factory
has already been started. 1t is
located between the Northwestern
and C. NJ. & St. P. tracks, on grounds
purchased of the Grand Rapids
Lumber Co., just south of their
planning mill and will be 5Oxl26 feet in
dimensions, a story and a half in
height. Fifty horse power, to run
the new plant has been rented of the
Electric & Water Co. and will be
furnished electrically, and in COM
formity with this arrangement the
new company has ordered two fifteen
and one twenty horsepower motors.
1t is expected that when the plant
is fully under way between so and 200
operatives will be employed in the
factory, making it from a commercial
standpoint one of the most valuable
adjuncts to the growth of the city
that we possess.

TAX COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Commission Busy in This City Laying Ground
Work For Their investigations.

G.. W. Gocha of Waupaca, W. f.
Collins of Stevens Point and Capt. G..
a. Holmes of New London, who were
appointed by Judge Webb to act as
commissioners to equalize the assess
ments in Wood county, held their
first meeting in this city on Monday,
June 10. MessrS. Gocha and Holmes
are becoming adopts in the work as
they served in the same capacity for
Portage county last year. Their
regular place of meeting will be in one
of the jury rooms at the court house.
The commissioners draw five dollars a
day and expenses and have 90 days
from the time of accepting their
appointments in which to file their
report with the court.
Their plan Of procedure is first to
prepare schedules setting forth values
put by assessors on property in the
various precincts and values fixed by
the county board on the same property,
also to make out schedules of the sales
of land made in each precinct during
the past 3 years. They will compare
the values fixed by the sales of land
with those fixed by the various asses
SorS on the same property. If they
find by this comparison that an
assessor is, as rule, in the habit of
assessing at one-half the true value as
revealed by the sale values, they will
multiply by two to find the true
aSSeSSable value. Their work is very
systematic and exhaustive and they
will go into every town in the county
with their Investigations, giving the
people and town officers chance to
make explanations or furnish informa-
tion that will help them to correct
conclusions.
We believe the work OF the COM
mission will be of lasting benefit to
Wood county and satisfy all reasonable
people by the impartiality of it's find
ingS.

Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota in Favor oil
The Law

Governor Van SAINT, the Republican
governor of Minnesota, was in La
Crosse, this week. and in talking to a
reporter of the La Crosse Press made
the following reference to the primary
election principle. 1t will be noticed
that he believes the Minnesota law IL
success in spite of the efforts of certain
Milwaukee papers to convince the
people to the contrary:
''Of course said the governor,
''men may be elected under the pri-
mary election law who may be failures,
but the principle Of the law is a
success. In the case of Mayor Ames,
of Minneapolis, who owes his election
to the primary election law, charges
have been made that his adminiStra-
tion is failure, but whether or not
such is the case, the result of the
election was the voice of the people
and that is the purpose of the law.

The Situation In Rudolph,

Tuesdays stevens Point journal.
Or. Phillips made another visit to
the town of Rudolph last Saturday.
He says that at the present time there
are only nine houses in which there
are smallpox patients, and that some
of the cases are very light. He will
visit the town again tomorrow and
thinks that unless the situation there
is more serious than it appeared to be
on the occasion of his last visit the
quarantine established against the
town by the city can be raised. DR..
Rice is of the same opinion.

stevens Point Journa

Stevens Point Journal.
Next Thursday, June 13, the Pawnee
Bill show will be with us. With every
travelling show that has visited
Stevens Point there has always been a
gang of sneak thieves and piclpockets.
The one coming, it is safe to say, will
not be an exception TO previous ex-
periences. Therefore a mere word of
warning will be sufficient. Houses
containing valuableS should not be
left alone during the day or evening,
for no one can tell where the sneak
thieves may operate.
The warning of the Journal to
Stevens Point people applies to Grand
Rapids people as we'll. Look out for
your valuableS in this city on Friday.

NICARAGUA ENDS It
Treaty Empowering US to
Build Isthmlan Canal,
She Term mates the Convention But Declares
she Desires the Conclusion Of New
Treatiss S. IN
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov 2.-The Government
of Nicaragua has terminated the treaty
under which the United States was en-
powered to construct an inter oceanic
canal across the territory of Nicaragua.
This action has been notified to the State
Department by the Nicaraguan Minister
fof Foreign Affairs. That officer de-
clarcs that the denunciarion in no wise
affects the friendly relations between the
two countries and the Nicaraguan Gov
eminent desires the conclusion of new
treaties.
Besides the treaty of friendship, COM
merce, and navigation Of 1867, thus de-
nounced the same note conveys the de-
nunciation of the extradition treaty of 1870
between the United States and Nicaragua.
Under the terms of the denunciation the
first named treaty. covering the right to
construct and to guarantee canal, the
convention will expire October oath, 1902,
which is one year from the date the no.
tice was received at the State Depart
mcnt. The extradition treaty terminated
May Gath next as provided in the con-
vention. The Nicaraguan Minister'S note
conveys absolutely no information as to
the motives which inspired the Nicara-
guam Government to denounce these two
treaties, nor has Mr. Merry, the United
States Minister to Nicaragua thrown any
light upon the subject.
II may be recalled, as affecting the
treaty of 1867. that before submitting the
Hay -Pauncefote Treaty to Congress last
year, Secretary Hay drew up a set of
protocols with the Minister of Nicaragua
and the minister for Colombia. whereby
these officers bound their Governments
to negotiate treaties with the Uniteo
States for the necessary concessions I'M
der which to construct and control canals
in the event that Congress should au-
thorize the beginning of such work.
