WILL SETTLE IN THE COUNTY,

Fisher Bros, a real estate firm of
Darlington, Wis, recently purchased
vast tracts of land near Knowlton. all
the lands they could secure in that
vicinity, nearly a township, and will
dispose of the same to settlers. They
intend to settle up that part of Mara
thon county and the nMt year may wit
ness a large increase in the population
of that district, preliminary steps for
such having already been taken. A
colony viii be planted for which the
state of Illinois VII be drawn upon
largely. The settlers secured will be
mostly practical farmers who have
found it unprohtabl 80 work the prai-
RE lands of that state and who are look
ing for new country where they can
make living and feel free and indie
pendent from the start, and such a
country is only to be found in Northern
Wisconsin.
A great deal of timber abounds in the
section of the county we have men
toned all of which a farmer can turn
into money in clearing his land for there
is now market for everything in the
line of native woods. After the land
has beer cleared of its timber the farm.
er finds soil far more productive than
that of the prairie He can also leave
some of his natural forest 20 supply him
with fuel in the years to come and also
enjoy many advantages too numerous
to mention. The country about Knowl-
ton, Dancy and Mosinee is destined
some day to become the potato country
of the world for the soil is peculiarly
suited to the raising Of "Murphys'' and
that country is better watered than is
the now famous Waupaca region.
These gentlemen hope to have some
settlers on these lands by fall and dur
ing the coming winter expect to plant
great numbers in that vicinity. Set
tiers, such as they propose to bring
here, are welcome addition to the
county's population for they form a
stable development of the county's
resources, that is bound To make for
the county's benefit at large.

BASE BALL.

Appleton appeared on the home
grounds Sunday and was defeated in a
game that was notable for errors on
both sides. There were more long hits
made than in any other game played
here this season, and the Appleton
fielders ripped over their own feet and
| fell down nearly rs often AS did the
Manitowoc team few weeks ago
Appleton went TO bat first and got two
runs and Wausau secured two in its
half by home run hit by Papenfuss,
who drove in Fallon. In the next in
ming Wausau secured a lead and the
visitors were never dangerous again
until the eighth when they made five
scores Appleton, no doubt, could
have added to its score at times but for
stupid and slow base running. Bull
man, of the defunct Waupun team,
pitched for Appleton. while Ed. jess,
OF the Oshkosh Continentals, caught
for the visitors. jess is playing a de-
cidedly improved game this year over
that which he played for Waasau last
season. Papenfuss had his eye on the
ball Sunday and made a home-run, a
three-bagger and a single. Several
double plays we've made that We're re-
deeming features There being such a
strong wind it was hard for the out
fielders to Judge ball and consequent
ly flies were missed that woulC have
been easy otherwise The score by in
nings follows;
Wausau. - 3 O A 2 0 3 SIS
Appleton..2 0 q 0 2 0 o.
Dick Huckbody, as a special police
man, ordered man off the fence Sun
day and ne threatened TO whip Dick.
Jake Werle came to the rescue and
with stick drove the fellow down.
He then got sassy" and called Werle
ma mes and Werle had him jugged. The
fellow appeared before Judge Clarke
Monday morning and was found guilty
of using abusive language and was
taxed fine and costs amounting to
about $40. There will be others that
will End themselves in the same boat if
they persist on beating their way in, so
the management says.
The game yesterday between the same
| teams was much better and was wit
messed by fair sized crowd for week
day game. Bulman pitched again for
Appleton and appeared stronger than
in the game of the previous day. Drew
also pitched strong game for Wausau,
each team securing. nine scattered hits.
Appleton secured lead in the fourth
inuing which was held until the ninth,
when Wausau run in two scores, which
| made it tie and necessitated the play
ing of an extra inning, nobody Oeing
out when the visitors make the winning
run.
| The following is the score by innings:
Nausau...0 1 0 0 0 0 O.
Appleton..0 0 2 0 0 0 0 10

games will be played.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANKS CAPITAL
STOCK INCREASED TO $l5O,OOO

The First National of this city has
been in existence for a period of twenty
years. The bank succeeded what was
known as the Bank of Silverthorn &
Plumer, which commenced business as
a private bank in the eos.
The first business was done in a
building on Jefftrson street. Increas-
ing busin 4. demanding larger quarters
the bank was moved 10 the Music Hall
block, corner OF Third and Washington
streets. In the eos the bank erected a
one story building in which to do bust
ness on Third street where Weinfeld
Bros. store now stands Twenty-Five
years ago the building now occupied
by Borowitz & Son, was erected by the
bank and the business was transacted
in that until ten years ago, when the
handsome, solid brick structure which
the bank now occupies was erected.
This Is by far the handsomest and most
substantial bank building in northern
Wisconsin and it is doubtful if there is
bank in Wisconsin, outside of Mil
waukee, that owDs more pretentious
and more complete building. The
history of the bank has been one of
progresc since its very start, and its
officers and directors have always been
of our most honorable, wealthy and in
fiuential citizens.
The First National Bank was incor-
porated in 1882 with a capital stock of
$50, 900, which was soon increased to
S1O0,O00 All National banks are char
tered for period of twenty years, and
as the charter of the First National will
expire next October, steps have been
taken to have the charter extended for
another period of twenty years. On ac-
count of the great increase of business
it has been deemed advisable to again
add to the capital stock of the institu-
ton. A special meeting of the stock
olders was called to take that matter

DEATH LIST.

Sunday afternoon at about 2:45 Jacob
Geier entered the valley of death after
a struggle covering quite a period OF
time. He had not been feeling well for
$50 years or more but had been able to
attend to his work up to the time he
was injured one day while working at
Mosinee little over a year ago. From
this injury he never recovered and other
complications set in which aggravated
the case and he grew weaker as time
elapsed, suffering almost continually
and for some time his death had
been momeTtarily expected. Mr.
Geier was born at West Bend,
Wis, March Doth, 1868, and came
to this town when boy, where he
learned the trade of tinsmith with his
father On Sept 9th, 1886, he was united
in marriage to Miss Katie Egeler, who
survives him. For a time he lived at
Merrill, but for the past eight years has
resided here where he has continuously
conducted IA tinshop. He was the father
of seven children, four of whom are
living, whose names are Matte, Lillian,
Lila, and Catherine. He is also sur
yived by his parents and four brothers
and five sisters, George, Louis, Albert,
Edward, Mrs, f Wolslegel, Mrs. f.
Marquerdt, Mrs. Carl Haase, Mrs VIM
Dreves and Emma. Mrs VIM Dreves
and Emma live at Oshkosh and Mrs.
Haase at Arbor Vitae while the rest re-
side in the city. Mr. Geier was a kind,
considerate father and husband and a
genial friend and neighbor whose So
licitations were always. Tor his family's
welfare. He was a member of the local
lodge of A. o. U. W. in which society
he carried 81, 900 and he was also insured
in the Northwestern Life ms Co. Fu-
neral services will be held at the home,

THE COUNTY FAIR.

VIM. S. Dixon. stock raiser, of
Brandon, he's written L. K Wright,
secretary of the Agricultural assertion
that he will be here at the county fair
this fall with large flock of sheep. He
will bring with him quite number
each of Shropshires, Oxfords and
Downs, all excellent specimens of those
breeds. The exhibit, while it goes to
help the fair management in making
success of the enterprise, also serves as
an object lesson to the farmers in de-
monstrating what can be done in this
state in the breeding of sheep.
As the time draws near for TIE hold
ing of the fair and each detail is COM
pleted, everything looks rosy for its
success. The work of soliciting exhibits
is being carried on continually but
many are coming forward daily with
their names voluntarily. So abundant
have been the crops of Marathon coun-
ty this year and SO great has been the
] interest taken by the farmers who will
exhibit agricultural products that it
has been feared that more room will have
to be provided for grain, vegetables and
fruit. The house wife has been awaken
| ing to the interest and the display of
fancy needle work, works of art, pre-
serves and canned goods, productions
of the culinary department, etc, will
be there in greater abundance than
ever. There being such large crop on
the asylum farm this year it will give
that institution an opportunity of max
ing much greater show than ever before.
While the exhibits of Marathon county
people alone will make greater fair
than any of former years. yet there
will be an unusually large number of
outside stock raisers, poultry men, and
exhibits of a special nature. Prepare
yourself for witnessing the greatest
county fair ever held in all Northern
Wisconsin. Sept 2-3-4 and 9Th.

SITE ACCEPTED.

1t is reported that on Wednesday
last the offer Of w. H. Bradley, of
Tomahawk, of tract of land contain
ing 240 acres near that town as site
for the location of health park, was
accepted by the Wisconsin Health
Park association. 1t is also stated
that steps will at once be taken to raise
funds for the erection of suitable build
ings on the grounds and that before
snow hies several cottages will have
been erected The object of this park
is, as we stated last week, for the
care and cure of consumptives where
the disease is in its earliest stage
The poor are not able to go to Colo
RADIO and Arizona and they linger at
home and die. Out door life in such a
climate a. that of the north. it is
said, will prolong their lives aud in
many cases restore their health com
pletely. The association cannot hope
to do much with advanced cases of tu-
beroulosis. But every physician is dis
tressed to see cases advancing from
early stages, under his eye, to the hope
less stage, and he feels the need of some
such place as this proposed Health PARK,
where he may send them. Out door
life, simple living, cheerful, inspir-
ing home life, abundant fresh air by
day and by night build up the body,
and supply resisting power to the en-
croachments Of consumption. This out
door treatment of the disease, these
forest sanatariums, are the accepted
solution of this fatal disease which ac-
counts for one-sevenih Of the deaths in
the United States.
