AFTER AN APPROPRIATION.

There was a meeting of the Free Pub
lie Library Board held last evening at
the library room in the First National
Bank building. All of the mem bers of
the Board were present, viz; Judge
w. c. Silverthorn, president; Mrs d l..
Plumer, vice-president; Mrs Dickens,
secretary; f. c. Zimmerman, treasurer;
Mrs. S. NJ. Quaw, Messrs. Fred Ganrich,
Il. II. Johnson, Supt. Karl Mathie, who
is er-ofieiO member, as Supt. of Schools
of the city of WauSau. There were also
present, Neal Brown, who has been 1t
work with Mr. Carnegie for some time
and Mrs. Margaret Trevitt who repre-
scented the Ladies' Literary club
The object of the meeting was 10 con-
suit as to the best way to proceed to
secure an appropriation for the free
public library of Wausau from Andrew
Carnegie, who has donated many
millions of dollars for the institu,ing of
free public libraries. II was dnally de-
cided to make request e Mr.. Car
negie, the same coming from the Board,
rs named above. 1t was voted that
Supt, Karl Mathie draft letter of re-
quest to Mr.. Carnegie and that the
same be signed by each member IF the
Board Ii was thought that by pro-
ceeding in this way that WauSaa will
have no trouble in securing the desired
appropriation.

The following brief report of DIR.
Neidman on dcposit of feldspar near
Wausau, is printed for the information
of the public.
These deposits of feldspar were dis
covered by DR.. Weidman while in this
section few years ago. in the employ of
the Wisconsin Geological and Natural
History Survey, and engaged in carry
ing on an investigation of the geology
of Central Wisconsin The feldspar
veins are of unsnal size and Il seemed
worth while to devote some special at
tention to them. This has been done
and the results are briefly given in Dr.
Weidman's report.
The latest report of the United States
Geological Survey shows that about 81,
900 tons of feldspar were mined in 1899
and that the value of the feldspar
ranged from SO to Sc per ton at the
quarry; the price depending on the
quality of material The feldspar near
Wausau is present in large quantities
Ii is found in veins SO large that they can
be readily mined, and is favorably stu
ated for transportation. The CONNER
cial value,of the deposit, however, de-
ponds on its furnishing a material
which will fuse to white mass when
used as lux in pottery. The surface
material investigated fuses to grey
mass and is, therefore, not suited to
this USE The analyses, however, show
that the purest material is suitable for
pottery use. 1t is, therefore, obvious
that the commercial value of the de-
posts can be determined only by a
thorough exploration, and it appears
that the prospect of commercial value
is sufficiently great to warrant such an
exploration. This report, therefore,
directs the attention of the owners of
the property, and the public interested,
to this subject. Following is the re-
port in full

logical and Natural History Survey
DEAR SHIN accordance with your
instructions | submit brief prelimi-
nary report on the feldspar deposits
near Wausau, Wisconsin.
The feldspar deposits occur in an
area five or six square miles in extent
near the central part of the town of
Stettin, seven or eight miles northwest
of Wausau They are found principal
ly in sections 10, IL, IA, 10, 16, %, %, of
T. 20, r 6 K. The feldspar is in APP
proxmately vertical veins in quartz
syenite, popularity known as granite,
usually occurring in these veins in large
crystals associated with subordin-
ate amount of quartz and in some places
with hornblende. The veins vary from
a foot to ten or twenty feet in thick
ness and occur at numerous places in
the above designated area.
Three analyses of the feldspar from
different veins of the area have been
made, showing it to be quite uniform
in composition. Numper one was made

Feldspar is used extensively in the
manufacture of china and porcelain
ware, in glazed tile, and in certain kinds
of glass Ii is used To lesser extent in
the manufacture of certain kinds of
soap, polishing materials, and in wood
filters.
The essential quality of commercial
pottery feldspar is its capacity to Fuse
10 white mass when used AS fax in
the ware. In order to test this quality
fusion trials were made upon small
and larger quantities of tbs feldsper.
Small portions of the feldspar, few
ounces in weight, were fused by me and
of the ten trials made several showed
fairly white, while others showed a
gray discoloratiOn. Larger quantities
of the feldspar were sent to AIR. Karl
Langenbeck of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, who
made fusion trials upon portions of
the feldspar weighing from twelve to
fifteen pounds Mr.: Langenbeck
made three trials of the larger qualities,
all OF which showed grey dlscolora-
ton.
In all of the trials thus far made,
however, weathered feldspar has been
used which was picked up from the
surface of the ground, showing more
or less discoloration caused by the in-
filtration of eXtraneouS r aterlal
Mr. Langenbeck, WHO las a thorough
knowledge II the H.dnufacture aud
chemistry of tcs,ery. judges from the
above chemical analyses made from
small portion of fresh mineral, that the
feldspars must be good in themselves
and not responsible for the discolora-
ton shown by the fusion trials Pro-
fessors Dahiells and Lehner also he
lieve the grey celebration shown by the
fusion trials is not due to the iron Of
other constituents shown in the an
alyss.
If it is true that the discoloration is
not due to the feldspars themselves, but
to the extraneous matter filtered into
them, the desposits are of value and
are well worthy of exploration. In
order to determine definitely the com
mercial value of the feldspar, excava-
tons in the feldspar veins should be
made, from five to twenty feet deep, at
number of favorable localities, and
sufficient portions of perfectly fresh
mineral should be selected and fusion
trials made upon them. For proper
exploration of the feldspar i'll the field
and testing in the pottery laboratories
considerable time and money will have
, to be expended.
| think it probable from my investi-
cation of the above deposits that the
feldspar, if found to be of proper quail
ity, occurs in sufficient quantity for
commercial purposes and can be read
lily mined and transported

THE old line republicans who have
so blindly worshipped at the shrine of
protection for 10, these many years,
will receive a jar that will loosen their
teeth when they read the follow
ing resolution which was passed by the
Dunn county republicans in conven-
ton, last Tuesday
That many of the industries OF this
country have outgrown the need of IL
protective tariff is made evident by he
fact that the American manufacturer
has entered the markets of the world
and is successfully competing with the
manufacturers of all other countries
many of the tariff schedules adopted to
foster infant industries have fully
served that purpose and have now be-
come means of aiding and building up
powerful trusts and combinations and
cause those to exact from the Ameri
can purchasers the payment of higher
prices than they exact for the same
class of goods sold in foreign countries.
We, therefore, favor a revision of the
tariff without unreasonable delay which
will place upon the free list every
article and product controlled by any
monopoly and such other articles aud
products as are beyond the need of
protection.

BASE BALL.
Wausau as a Member of Wisconsin
State League.


The Green Bay base ball team de-
feated Wausau Friday in closely con-
tested game. There was large attend
ance, over 800 paid admissions, which
is an evidence that the game is popular
here. Both pitchers were effective and
for six innings it appeared as though
the game belonged to Wausau the score
standing 3 To in her favor and then
came that hateful seventh inning that
was nearly always so disastrous to the
home team last year. The fellows from
the Bay lit onto Foulks and hammered
out three rrns and they again made one
in the eight. Following is the score by
innings:
Green Bay. .........0 0 0 0 3 l 0-5
Wausau. . O-3
Or Sunday the home team played at
Kadkauna and the score shows a miser
able exhibition of ball playing on the
part of the Wausau team although the
boys claim it was good game under
conditions. Omstead pitched for Kau-
kauna and threw good ball striking
out twelve men, while Foulks for Wau-
sau was substituted by Papenfpss in the
fourth inning. The score:
Kaukauna. l 3 ) , 0-1S
WauSau. 0 0 0 . z 0-3
The worst game of. the season was
played at Manitowoc Sunday when
Appleton slaughtered the team of that
city by the score of a to 0.
In Fridays game here John Diamond
of Eagle River, played left field for Wan
sau and it was the first game in which
he has taken partin for four years.
Wausau plays at Sheboygan next Sun
day and week later has game at
home with Appleton.
There are several weak spots in the
Wausau team, especially so at second
base. Belis says he will continue to
strengthen as fast as he can secure the
right kind of men,

NICHOLAS MARS0N KILLED.

Last Friday night horrible accident
occurred, which cost the life of one of
our old citizens, Mr.. Nicholas Marson.
He was struck by the 9:57 passenger
train, which was leaving this city for
Marshfeld and instantly killed. The
engineer Fred Krahn, saw him lying
on the track near the crossing on Third
avenue but was unable to bring his
train to stop and he was run over and
literally cut to pieces. AS soon as the
train could be stopped the conductor,
j. w. Corners sent word to Coroner
Dickens of the accident, who at once
went over and viewed the body He
deemed it unnecessary to hold an in
quest, and the remains were gathered
up and were conveyed to the under
taking rooms of Ritter & Deutsch
The body was so badly mutilated as
to be unacceptable, and while many
supposed that it was Mr.. Marson, it
was necessary for Mrs. Marson to be
called, who recognized the body as that
of her husband by the clothes that he
wore. 1t seems that Mr.. Marson had
started for his home from Roemer &
Thalheim's store about nine O'Clock.
He turned and walked south on Third
avenue, crossing the railroad track and
was met by G. NJ. Flemming, who asked
him where he was going, and he re-
piled, he was gong to walk a little and
then was going home. When he was
near the German Lutheran church it
seems he sat down for a time, where be
was seen by some boys. He stopped
them and asked them to help him get
up He complained of pain in the
side and of rheumatism, with which he
had been troubled for some time. After
that no one saw him until the accident.
1t was thought that he started to walk
back towards his home and when
reaching the railroad crossing he
stumbled and fell and was unable to
get up again. There are very few who
believe that Mr. Marson committed
suicide, but that his death was caused
as above stated.
Nicholas Marson was in the sixty
third year of his life He was born in
Germany on the 18th day of April, 1910,
ard came to this country in 1871. and
sent to Caledonia, Mimi, to reside.
While there, for seven years, he was a
teacher in the parochial school Of St.
Mary'S Catholic church of that place.
Later he went to La Crosse and ac-
cepted a position with the Southern
MINI. Railroad Co. ms surveyor, which
position be held for three years, when
he became foreman for the Coleman
was united in marriage 10 Miss Mar
garet kroach in 1850, and on that year
they came 10 Wausau and for nine
years conducted a hotel on the West
Side. He was kind hearted, generous
man and there are many who viii
cherish his memory for the good deeds
which he has performed.
He leaves wife and two daughters,
the Misses Marie and Agnes, aud a
brother. John p Marson, who resides
in the town of Maine in this county
