Any Wausau citizen, pestered with
rats, might profit by applying the fol-
lowing method of determination given
by one e our exchanges: The plaster
paris cure has worked well in several
instances but is not generally under
stood Tempting morsels are placed
about in easy reach of the rats after be-
ing well filled with plaster paris, and
when one of the animals has swallowed
about an ounce of this innocent powder
he is taken with a severe thirst, and
after hearty drink of water the plaster
paris sets, the result being petrified
rat. A rat with his liver in plaster
paris cast is said to be harmless.
Robt. H. Johnson, editor of the
Central Wisconsin, who has been
one of Marathon County's hardest
working republicans for the past thirty
five years, has been rewarded by his
party by being appointed deputy rev.
enue collector for the Second district
of Wisconsin. He will supply whole
sale dealers in this section with rev.
enue stamps from an office which he
will open, besides performing other
duties. Heretofore local cigar manu-
factuers and brewery men had to send
to Madison for their stamps. Robert is
worthy and deserving of any position
that may be given him by his party and
the greater the emolument the more
nearly will the republican party come
to liquidating what it owes MIR. John
son for valuable services rendered,
An open meeting of Cutler Post was

not unexpected Mrs Stowell was

Geo. Forsythe, alias Geo. Barnette,
alias Geo. Weise, charged with at
tempted criminal assault upon Eva |
Peterson a seven-year-old girl of the |
town of Eldron, was measured last |
week by the Bertillon system and the |
measurements sent to the Waupun pris-
on. The result was as surmised. The |
man proved to be Geo. Forsythe, SEN
fenced from Brown county on ten |
year term for the same offense and who |
was only liberated eighteen months |
ago. AS soon as the man was con-
fronted with this record, which he had |
previously most strenuously denied, he |
wilted and decided to plead guilty. Up
on the arrival home from Merrill, Satur-
day, of Judge Silverthorn the man was
taken before him and sentence pro- |
nounced. His previous bad record was
damaging to him in receiving the pun
ishment inflicted by the court, mas
much as he was up again for the same |
crime. On account of his age, however,
66 years, the court let him off little |
easier than might otherwise have been |
the case, and his sentence was fixed at |
six years Imprisonment. Since the |
Bertillion system was installed at the |
county jail it has paid FOR itself. In
such eases as this it proves its useful
ness and saves the county the expense |
of going to trial.
VIM. Pophal, farmer living on the |
town line road was badly injured yes
terday in runaway accident. He left |
his team standing at the rear of the |
Pfeiffer Il Klecker meat market, while |
he went up town on some errand. AS |
he neared the shop on his return the |
steam engine that drives the sausage |
grinder was started, frightening the |
horses and they ran away. Mr.. Pophal |
endeavored to stop them but was run
over and trampled on, the wagon pass
ing over him and his body dragged |
some distance. When first picked up
he was in a state of coma but soon
rallied and was removed to the Emer-
gency hospital DR. Humid called in
Drs. ID. L. jones and A T. Koch and
together they made an examination
and found the man to be very seriously
injured The bones of the pelvis were
broken, part of his left ear was gone,
his left cheek bone was fractured and
there were numerous deep cuts and
bruises on the head, body aud limbs, but
