TROUBLE IN LAKE COUNTY.

Tiptonvilie, Feb. I2,-Graver and
more serious is becoming the question
over the "four-wire" fence. The farm
ers are indeed worked up over the mat
ter. The report has gone abroad in the
Third district that Mr.. j. c. Harris has
said he Will rebuild the fence aud place
a guard around it with instructions TO
shoot the first trespasser. Further, the
report is current that b. W. Flemming.
"A mill man IN this section, offered TO
furnish the lumber and make the fence
hog proof, but Mr. Harris declined the
oher, saying that he was man abiding
strictly to the letter of the law,
Whether the reports are true or not,
they have had their effect, and every
small land owner and renter nearly IN
the neighborhood seems to be determin
ed oyer the matter. They say that il
has become question as TO whether
anybody can put up four wire fence in
that section in the day as fast as they
can be cut down at night
Not only is this the case with that
section but it is so in every other place
in the country where the four wire
fence is contemplated. The opIosers
claim that this was not the year TO pass
such law, as there has not been enough
corn raised to put in more than half the
crop next year, much less feed hogs.
Notices were posted in Lake county,
Tenn, for the negroes to vacate that
county by Feb. II, and serious trouble
was anticipated The farmers need
this labor. and must have labor The
negro is afraid to stay and it is doubt
full if white labor can be secured. The
cause for driving the negroes out is not
stated.

The ROUGH TALKFR.

Roosevelt is spoken of as the Rough
Rider because of his war service, but
if so, Tillman. of South Carolina, is the
rough talker. He IS an extremist, and
no political party, section or state even,
can afford to be responsible for what
Tillman SAYS. He afiillates now with
the Democrats. but he succeeded into
office by defeating Gen Wade Hamp
ton and the regular Democrats. Most
of Tillman's utterances are so extreme
his own party and people can not en-
dorse him, butreally IN his blunt, rough
speech, he csten tells world of plain
truths.

SOW OATS.

The newspaper farmers are giving the
real farmers columns of advice as to
sowing oats. This time it looks like the
advice is sound and sensible. The
scarcity and high price Of corn, to-
gether with the fact that oats come on
before the corn crop 1902, makes the
point clear. True seed oats are high,
but their use will save 81 corn in feed
ing your own stock, and any surplus
can be readily sold,

THREE CROOKS.

The three fellows arrested last week

sentence in the county Jail. After be-
ing released on the charge of being vags
they got boozed up that same evening
and proceeded to make Rome howl.
They were captured by police officers
Gornlan and Relitz in the lumber yards
near the St. Paul depot. When these
fellows were arrested the first time
nothing was found on them that would
indicate that they were crooks, but a
second search brought forth some skele-
ton keys and some corset steels. One
of the keys is neat piece of work and
when tried on the lock of the cabinet in
which all the, Jail keys are kept, it was
found to unlock same. They have, by
their actions 10 jail made the other pris-

to secure picture of them, which will

A GOOD PLAY.

On Tuesday evening, Peaceful Val
ley" was presented to Wausau audi
ence and it was reminder of Sol Smith
Russell, for it was in this piece that
Russell was at his best. 1t is said that
the authors inspiration was taken from
scenes surrounding Russell's summer
home in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire. The characters in Peace
full Valley" are nearly all of the New
England stock, noted for their content
ment, sociability and hospitality.
Hosea Howe, the leading character, is a
slow, easy-going young man of educa-
ton, dutiful to his aged mother and dis
graced sister, and it is be who lifts the
mortgage from their perpendicular
farm, so called because of its being on
the side of the steep mountains. Jack
Farquhar, the fast young man who re-
forms, was a part also well taken. In
fact the whole company was above the
average, and was deserving of much
better house than the one received.
1t is such plays that are enjoyed by
everyone for there is that home-like air
about Peaceful Valley" that draws

END OF WORLD.

Seventh Day Adventists are all
wrought up and declare that the end Of
the world is near at hand, firmly beliey-
ing that the warning has been conveyed
to them by the appearance of a black
horse on the ruins of Kellogg's santa
rium at Battle Greek
Upon the side Of wall, which is stil
as white as before the fire, has appeared
perfect picture of a black horse burned
in the wall With extended eyes,
and the ears laying back on the head
the animal presents a fierce appearance.
Thousands daily visit the place and
speculate on the strange sight.
The Adyentists, who lay great stress
upon Bible signs, have been searching
the bibl; for a reference to the black
horse. They have al last found just
one refe renee. and that is the sixth
chapter of Revelations. This entire
chapter refers to the end OF the worli
and the troubles to come, and ends
with this warming

aud who shall be able to stands"

The following letter has been sent out
by VIM. Waterhouse, supervisor of
assessment, to the chairman and town
clerk of each tow it is self explain
atory:
DEAR SIR The time is approach
ing when the electors of your assess
ment district will be called upon to
elect with other officers an assessor,
and, as the assessment for the current
year is to be made en- somewhat
different lines than formerly, you and
all good citizens should give the sub
ject matter of assessment" your
earnest and thoughtful consideration,
to the end that your and other assess
ment districts throughout the state of
Wisconsin elect first class assessors.
Will you join with the State Tax
Commission and endeavor to have an
assessor elected in your land all other
assessment districts that will make an
equitable and just assessment
The laws governing assessors are
contained practically within Sections
1890 to 1869 inclusive Laws of 1898 and
amendments thereto.
would respectfully call your atten-
ton to Section 1852 Laws of 1898 as
amended by Chapter 92 Laws of 1901 a
part of which reads: "Real property
shall be valued by the assessor at the
full value which could ordinarily be
obtained therefor at private sale"
Section S51 Laws of 1898 is in part as
follows: Town assessors shall be
paid such compensation not exceeding
three dollars per day as may be allowed
them by the town board.n
A part of Section Chapter 445 Laws
of 1901 directs that a meeting of all
the assessors of each county in the
state of Wisconsin shall be held at the
county seat on or before the last Tues
day in April, when said assessors are
TO receive instruction relative to the
duties of assessors etc.
/ trust that you will accept this in
the light in which it is intended and
not deem the writer impertinent OF
attempting to interfere in a seemingly
local matter, as the idea of just and
equitable assessment should be of in
terest to good citizens of our state
generally. Yours respectfully,
w. w. WATERHOUSE
Supervisor of Assessment.

EXISTING CONDITIONS.

The following information is given
out for the benefit of parents, by q. ID.
Jones, president of the school board,
and should be needed. The meeting
spoken of was held Thursday morning
and since that time hundreds of school
children have been vaccinated. You
are given the choice of any physician
and it costs you nothing.
There is strong impression prevail
ing all through the state that "the
woods of north Wisconsin is full of
small pox. Of course there is great
exaggeratIon as to the actual condi-
tious prevailing in the pineries, but it
/ is fact that small pox exists to some
extent all over the state, and the in
telligent and well directed efforts of
health departments in cities like Wau-
sau cannot stamp it out so long as
there is carelessness in certain districts.
There seems to be a general apprehen-
sion that when the men come home
| from the pineries in the spring the
danger of small pox will be consider
ably increased, and an investigation
made by the health officer in the city
I shows that very large number of our
children have never been vaccinated.
A meeting of the School Board, which
was also attended by the Mayor and
Health Officers, was held this morn
| ing to consider the matter. Ii was
very clearly shown that the mayor :.nd
health department have been vigilent
IN their efforts to suppress the disease
in this city. 1t is very interesting
fact 10 l., 81 - Il
a single case of small poX in Wausau
where the patient had ever been sue
cessfully vaccinated. After full dis
cussion of the matter resolution was
unanimously adopted by the board of
education requiring that all children
attending the public schools who have
not been successfully vaccinated be
vaccinated before the 10Th of March.
The resolution further provides that
all children of school age in this city,
whether attending public schools or
not, may be vaccinated, with the
purest and best vaccine, at the public
expense, if desired, within that time.
The city expects to make arrange
ments with every practieing physician
so that each child may be vaccinated
by the physician of his choice, pro-
vided such vaccination is made within
the time stated And after that time
the city health officer is directed to
vaccinate all children who attend the
public schools and who have not been
so vaccinated.
"An ounceof prevention is worth
pound of cure.n 1t is hoped that the
parents of all children will promptly
and cheerfully aid the mayor and
health department in their efforts to
reduce the danger from this dread
disease to the minimum.
Yours respectfully,
