A WORD OF ADVICE
From a Former Wausau Citizen in
Alaska.

Chena, Alaska, 40, 1908
f. B. THAYER, Wausau, Wis.
DEAR SR:-Undoubtedly the people of
Wausau have by this time learned OF
the wonderful strike made on the Ia
Dana river, Alaska and are making
preparations for the big rush. would
like 10 offer little advice. A man who
undertakes the journey should have
the best of health and come prepared
for all emergencies. Travellers perhaps
get hold of the big steamships Cos
prospectus and while reading it may
think that gold grows on trees, but
such is not the case. Mining is the
hardest graft man ever tackled. l
will, however, say this much to en-
courage the stampeeder; No matter
how poor he may be, we are all on an
equal in Alrska, and also he has the
same chance that a practical miner has,
that is, he can go To bed broke and
wake up and find out some body has
struck it rich next claim To his own,
then he imagines he has all kinds of
money until his pipe goes out. People
coming here should not do so with the
idea that they are going to get rich the
minute they land. but if they are will
ing to take chance this is the best
country in the world today for a man
to make a home stake. Yours,

diers returned to their ruined homes
worse than paupers. In famine and
want they began life again, desperate
and bitter, not knowing how they were
to care for the helpless ones dependent
upon them. Our burdens and sacri-
tices in blood and treasure were great
| would not belittle them, but only a
small part of the North suffered from
invading armies. Our soldiers re-
turned home and found their country
rich enough and its people grateful
enough to do them Justice.
Victorious over them in arms, we
should have conquered them in spirit
by our greater magnanimity. We
could afford to let them honor their
dead in their own way God help a
people that will not honor its dead
We can generously give them the
praise due to valOr without fear of con-
ceding too much favor to the cause
they fought for Let us honor the
southern people for honoring their
dead, and let the bitter taunt aud sneer
remain unSpoken.
I'VE were never so blameless that
we could afford to play the pharisee
towards the South. The North profit
ted by slavery and sanctioned it until
1t finally acquired much wasted rights
as every folly and abuse in government
and every wrong founded on mans
SelishneSS, comes to have"
In the final summing up of history,
we of the North VIII have much to
answer for, and this should compel that
charity and forgiveness towards the
South, that we must ask from its peo-
pie for what we inflicted upon them
after they laid down their arms. The
fate of Lincoln was the greatest evil
that could have happened to them, and
| don't know that they think if he had
lived, the South would have been
spared that misrule of corruption and
degradation. Needing so much of
charity, let us be charitable
In the territory acquired from Spain
we may not have done all things well.
War always brings some excesses aud
some crueltieS, and offenders against
the laws of humanity should be pun
ished. But we should not slapder our
whole army in the field, because of the
atrocities of few individuals We
should have but one sentiment on this
and that should be, to put down armed
rebellion at whatever cost of blood or
treasure. There is a time to criticise
and time to investigate but criticism
and investigation should be so con-
Quoted as not to give aid and comfort
to the enemies of our country.
II want to say to the soldiers across
the seas that which would have desired
to say to you as you marched home again

little, but have kept the faith For
you the welcome of the crowded street,

COUNTY BOARD.

At the assembling of the county
board on Wednesday morning Cbsf
man Rienow announced the appoint
ment of his committees, which are the
same as last year with the exception
that the new members names have
been placed in lieu of those of their
predecessors.
| The towns of Hewitt, Frankfort,
Stettin, Vein and Weston asked for
county aid to the extent of SO 600 for
the building of bridges and macaGam-
izing roads and upon motion the m2s-
ter was referred to the committee on
streets and bridges. Later the 5tffer-
ent sums were allowed with the ex-
ception of one item of 81 800 for build
ing bridge in the town of Weston,
which was held open for investigation.
A final report was made by the build
ing committee of the agricultural
school which showed that total of
SIS, ,92l 81 had been expended.
The sheriff and district attorney petit
toned the board to be allowed to es-
tablish the Bertillion system of meas
urments at the county Jail to assist in
the identification and prosecution of
criminals, the petition setting forth the
system had often proved great saving
to counties where it has been estab-
lished. The total cost of placing such
system, together with the necessary APP
paratus, in the county jail, it was
further stated, would be S44. 1t was
referred to the public property com
mittee, and later the petition was
granted.
A resolution providing for an appro-
priation of 5000 to the Marathon County
Agricultural society to defray the ex-
pense of making an exhibit at the state
fair was passed by vote of 80 to 12.
Upon the advice of the district at
torney, committee was appointed to
make an investigation of the county's
inmates of different institutions, that
are now being supported by the county
where the expense should be borne by
relatives.
Supervisor Gilbert introduced reso-
luton which carried, providing that
the sheriff shall not purchase any cloth
ing for insane patients without first get
ting an order from the county Judge
and that such order shall be attached
to the bill when same is presented for
payment.
The finance committee was author
lied to borrow not to exceed $4,000 at
a rate of interest not to exceed six per
cent. to tide our affairs until the No
vember meeting.
A number of the county officers petit
toned the board to purchase an adding
machine, the same OF similar to the
ones used in the city banks. On mo-
ton of John Ringle the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on public prop
erty to be reported on at the next
meeting of the board.
The chair appointed NJ c. Thorn as
a member of the committee on equaliz-
alton, vice j. w. Wagner, who asked
that his name be withdrawn from such
committee.
On Thursday the board visited the
asylum, poor farm and jail.

D Coincidence!

We note with some concern that
Gov. Cummins-perhaps because of a
bad throat, toothache, or other form
of indisposition-has not found 1t
convenient to accept any invitations
to speak at agricultural gatherings in
the past few months. Not long ago
his name was mentioned among those
invited to address the national con-
vention of live stock growers at
Kansas City. He did not appear at
that convention. He has not talked
to farmers for some time. One would
think that so strenuous a tariff re-
former as the governor is would with
avidity improve opportunities to
spread the Iowa idea" of potential
competition as a price cutter among
agricultural communities. He has
found it possible on numerous occa-
sions to talk reciprocity, tariff revis-
ion and trust busting at gatherings OF
manufacturers, but his throat or
something seems to go wrong when
ever it comes to presenting his views
before gatherings of people who make
their living out of the soil. Farmers
are such sound protectionists that it
seems strange to find Gov. Cummins
so reluctant to propagate the Iowa
idea" among them.

The Only Hope.

The only hope for campaign issue
for the Democrats lies in the question
of tariff revision. Being a free
trade" party they will be obliged to
greatly revise their tariff policies, for
they will certainly not find free trade
or tariff for revenue only a winning
card with the BUSINESS community
or even the producers. They have
tried that policy once before and its
adoption brought universal ruin and
bankruptcy.-Dayton (Fla) Journal

Cuban products passed the House Of
Representatives and was defeated in
the Senate. Obviously If bill could
not be passed, it is little less than
folly to expect treaty, proposing to
accomplish the same ends, to be rati-
fed
There is opposition by Democratic
Senators to the treaty on the ground
that it involves an unconstitutional
method for reducing the tariff. The
constitution contemplates that all
revenue measures shall originate in
the House of Representatives and be
acted upon by both branches of Con-
gress. The reciprocity method of
reducing duties eliminates the House
of Representatives., the only really
representative branch of the Federal
government, and places the power in
the hands of the executive and the
Senate.
The objection is well taken. Tar
if legislation by treaty is repugnant
to our scheme of government and an
obnoxious and unwarranted use Of
the treaty-making power.-Milwaukee

Ienislatinn by Treaty.

Reports from Washington indicate
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty
will be rejected II brought to vote
in the Senate. Republican senators
with beet sugar constituencies have
served notice on the administration
leaders that they will be forced to
OPPOSE ratification of the treaty. AS
II requires a two-thirds vote of the
Senate to secure ratification of
treaty, there is little likelihood of its
being approved.

ton should have undertaken to
secure our plain duty" to Cuba by
treaty, At the last session Of Con-

A Needed Precaution.

White lines are painted across all
windows in third-class cars in Japan
as check upon the impulse of occu-
pants to thrust their heads through
them. Window glass is an article
with which the people are not familiar
in daily life, and since passengers
commonly suppose that sashes are
merely spaces for air the bill for glap-
ing was one of the largest petty items
in the monthly accounts for all the
companies until the white line was in
vented.

ports and Imports.


ports and Imports.
The table of imports and exports
of the United States for the twelve
months ending with January, 1903,
shows an unusual fluctuation in ex-
ports because Of crop shortage and
consequent increased prices of food
stuffs, and it also shows a steady in
crease in importations from the low
point of SOS, 1850, 459 in February, 1902,
to the high point of $94,356,9S7 in
December 1902. The exports also
show a marked increase from the
midsummer minimum of SIS, 240, 4S3
in July, to $14S012,403 in December
In spite of smaller exports owing to
exceptional conditions, and in spite
of the largest imports for any year
in the history of our commerce, the
figures show comfortable trade bal
ance in favor of the United States
amounting to close upon $500, 900.
If the advocates of potential compe-
tition" through the larger admission
of competitive products from abroad
had had their way it is certain that
the trade balance for 1902 would
have been very much smaller.
The following table shows the
total imports and exports of the
United States in each of the twelve
months ending with January, 1908:

Where Crime Is Unknown.

The police force on the island of
Sark few years ago consisted of two
constables. The prison was a small
room in the schoolhouse. One of the
constables was asked as to the prev
asence of crime on the island. He re-
piled that the only person he had ever
had to arrest and incarcerate was his
own colleague, who had been a little
overcome by the hospitality of certain
unregenerate tourists.
