BISHOP MESSMER
NEXT ARCHBISHOP

The Catholics of Grand Rapids will
be glad to learn that Bishop Messmer
of Green Bay has been appointed
Archbishop of Milwaukee in success
|sion to the late Archbishop Katzer.
The archbishopric of Milwaukee is
the most important ecclesiastical
position in Wisconsin. Its. iurisdc-
|tion extends not only over the arch
diocese of Milwaukee, but over, the
Poles in Wisconsin and the diocese of
Marquette, which includes all OF the
northern peninsula of Michigan.
|. The promotion ofsBishop Messmer
lcreateS vacancy in the bishopric of
Green Bay. 1t seems certain that the
Rev. j. !. Fox, vicar-general of that
diocese fer a number of years, wilt be
prominently mentioned in connection
with the position. He is native OF
IsWisconsin and a graduate of ST.
i;Franci5 seminary, south Of Milwau-
ikee. He ranks as an able churchman,
Eis urbane and scholarly and is popular.
+ The Poles of Wisconsin have long
been trying to get representation in
1.-THE hierarchy of their church and 1t
lis probable that some priest of their
l;nationality will be pressed f2r the
iyacaHt biShopric.

WAS NEARLY SHOT
TRYING TO FOOL DEER

One Of the most amusing incidents
of the hunting season occurred at Bal
sam, Mich, last week. A PolandeI
who is working in the vicinity devised
a scheme by which he was able to
decoy the deer and kill lots of them.
He enveloped himself in two great
hides, placed pair of antlerS on his
head, and went out and stood on all
fours in the runway where the deer
were known to pass. He had been
there but short time when one OF
the railroad boys from Crystal Falls
came walking along, aching for shot
at a deer. All at once he Spied the
''made up deer but a few rods from
him. Up went his gun to his shoulder
and he was just going to let drive
when he noticed a human hand rise
out from under the supposed deer's
hide. The fellow dropped his gun in
aStoniShment and started TO investi-
gate when he found the Polander as
described Had this railroad man
been other than a cool headed hunter
another fatality would have attached
itself 20 the hunting season.

$4,000 ACRES
TO BE DRAINED
Petition Of Property Owners in
Beaver Drainage District
has Been Granted.
DRAINAGE DISTRICT
LARGEST in STATE
Cranberry Men in This City
Interested==Judge Gaynor Re-
presented Bissig Bros.

Judge John A. Gaynor returned
Tuesday from Neillsville where he
represented BiSsig Bros in the Beaver
drainage case on Monday. The court
decided to grant the petition of the
property owners in the district and
appointed the commissioners.
The Beaver drainage district is the
largest in the state. 1t takes in
nearly all Of town 21, range l E, in
Jackson county, and extends south
into Monroe and Juneau counties. In
all, the district includes about $4,000
acres, mostly marsh land: %, 900 acres
are in Jackson county and the balance
in Juneau and Monroe counties.
The granting of the petition means
the making of one main and a large
ditch through the district, with
smaller laterals, to give all the lands
in the district the benefit of the
drainage.
The district derives it's name from
the Beaver creek, along the general
course of which the main ditch will
be made, and the outlet of which is in
Lemonweir river in Juneau county.
A number of the cranberry men, who
have marshes at City Point, were
interested in the outcome of the
case just decided
w. S. Braddock and Fred Hoffman
were two of the commissioners ap-
pointed.

Some weeks ago Dan. Rein gave
Geo. NJ. Hill and Geo. w. Paulus an
option on his cranberry marsh near
Cranmoor. A conference was held
which resulted in the formation OF
the J. j. Emmerick Cranberry com
pany, consisting of the Gaynor- Black.

ick. The new organization was
capitalized at $4,000 and the stock
was taken in equal shares by the
four above named parties
Wednesday the deed was made out
and signed, Mr.. Rein transferring
the property to the Emmerick Gran
berry company.
The marsh lands which the new
company has acquired consist of
1000 acres, sixty acres of which are
under cultivation. The dwelling
house and other buildings are also in
cluded iD the sale.
J. J. Emmerick will have charge
Of the marsh.
1t is the aim of the purchasers to
put the marsh in first class cUndit tiOn
that the largest possible quantity of
berries may be raised next year.

ENCHANCE DOM
ESTIC HAPPINESS
Geo. F. Krieger Will Manufac=
ture Automatic Fire Builders
in This City.
INVENTED BY j. H. Heb
AND JUDGE HOFFMAN
Description Of the Blessing
Which Will Bring Joy to Hus=
bands and Wives.

Geo. f. Krieger has received the
contract to manufacture automatic
fire builders for John Fl. Heib. of this
city, and Judge NJ G. Hoffman, of
Merrill. AS soon as Mr. Krieger has
manufactured sufficient quantity of
these devices they will be placed upon
the market by the inventors.
The apparatus, which MeSsrS. Heib
and Hoffman have invented, is not
larger than silver dollar and can be
attached to an ordinary alarm clock.
Into the apparatus is deposited a
illuminate and fuse leads from it
to the fireplace Of any wood or coal
stove. In the evening when the
kitchen stove is out, the clock is set
to go off at the proper time, then the
illuminate and fuse are put into the
proper place. The next morning the
owner wakes up finding that the
coffee pot is sweeGly singing on the
red-hot stove.
Two years ago, Mr.. Heib went to
interview Judge Hoffman on the
subject of his automatic fire builder.
Mr.. Heib'S invention then consisted
of an alarm clock fastened by its feet
and fitted into groove of a box; on
the box was a carriage which, actuated
by spring, ran from one end Of the
track to the other; on the top of this
carriage was a piece of sand paper.
Then there was mechanism work
ing like a human hand pressing
the match upon the sand paper. 1t
was delicate thing to so arrange the
springs that there was enough force
to ignite the match and yet not so
much as to tear off it's head and thus
produce failure. Over the match was
string soaked in kerosene which
lead to the fireplace. The invention
was not satisfactory, however. 1t
took MeSSrS. Heib and Hoffman
year and a half more to put the in
yention in its present useful shape.
1t was through combination of
certain chemicals that perfect
illuminate and fuse. cheap and etfec-
tive, were discovered.

HOW WOOD COUNTY
HASADVANCED RECENTLY

when w. Fl. Upham was nomin-
ated for governor by the republicans,
said John P. Hume of Marshfeld, at
the Pfster yesterday, paul Hull,
well known newspaper man of Chi
cago, was detailed by his paper to
come to Marshield and give Upham,
the city, and the surrounding country
a write up. He was invited by Upham
to take trip around the neighboring
section, dnd was told that among the
features was the Upham farm.
"Hull made the trip IN company
with Upham and number of friends,
and upon his return to the city dis
appeared from view for several hours,
saying he intended to write his story.
When he came down from his room
he displayed something that re-
sembled an oil painting labeled Bill
Upham' Farm Instead of using
colors Hull had gone into a hard ware
store and provided himself with nails,
tackS and screws of different sizes.
These he stuck through the card

and fire burnt woods of what he was
pleased to consider Upham's farm.

Went to Wittenberg.

Ill-clad, cold, forlorn. This de-
scribes the appearance of young
woman on our streets Wednesday.
Penniless-from home of comfort
she was now an outcast!
She gave her name as Annie Olson
and stated that she was 20 years OF
age and formerly lived in Chicago.
She had worked in several Of the
hunting camps of the northern part
of the state and was now in need of
money TO get to Hurley, Wis. 1t
developed from questions that she
was about to enter a house of question
able character, kept by one Dollie
Olson.
The woman said that her mother
still lived in Chicago and that she at
one time worked in the Ozure Wax
Works factory on Lake street and the
American Canning factory at May
wood, IL.
Daring the Centennial celebration
she became interested in some Of the
Indians, who visited Chicago, and
followed them to Wittenberg, Mar
shall Carnahan, it is said paying her
railroad fare.
She soon grew tired of the life
among the Indians and sought other
fields Of excitement among the lumber
camps at Gallon, Moon and Bevent.
The woman laughed at the idea Of
reforming, saying that it was too late.
She stated that it was her intention
to beg enough money to get to another
town. She was afraid to apply to the
police for help, her experience with
the authorities in other towns not
having been the most pleasant.

bath, stepped back against hot stove
which burned him severely. The
child was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a
bottle of Chamberlain Pain Balm in
the house, she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was

MOSQUITOES RoUT HIM.

Monster mosquitoes of the Louisi-
ana swamps have pat stop TO the
United States Coast aud Geodetic
Surveys attempt to map the oyster
reefs Of Louisiana. j. B. Baylor,
who made the famous survey of the
Virginia reefs, was placed in charge
by the government, and schooner
was specially fitted up for him by the
oyster commission of Louisiana.
When all was complete Mr.. Baylor
and his party proceeded to the coast
and began operations.
But Mr.. Baylor reckoned without
his host. Acclimated and accus-
toned to the smaller and less trouble
some mosquitoes of farther north, he
was not proof against the ravenous
insects of the Louisiana coast. The
mosquitoes and their allies, the deer
flies, made life burden. Mosquito
bars and every known patent medicine
were employed to keep the monsters
away, but all attempts were in vain.
After several weeks of fruitless re-
sistance Mr.. Baylor quit. lie fled
back to Washington, leaving his sur
vey uncompleted, stating in letter to
the oyster commission that he would
probably resume operations when the
cold winds had come from the north
to be his allies againt the terrors of
the swamps.

HOW TO GET RUINED t?,.

This is the way great state gets
ruined by the absence of saloons
When prohibition went into opera
ton Kansas had population of
996,616. Out of the population she
had 917 convicts. After twenty-one
years of prohibition the population
is l 1,570, 495, an increase Of nearly so
per cent, but she now has only 7SS
prisoners; while the population has
increased so per cent. crime has de-
creased in proportion to the present
population 65 per cent. Liquor is
the great cause of crime. Chaplain
McBrain, of the Kansas state prison,
practiced Law twenty-five years before
becoming chaplain. He says rs
per cent. of all crime is due to liquor.
Kansas has one hundred counties.
Five of these are notorious Tor the
violation of the prohibitory law.
These counties, with II per cent. of
the states population, furnish over
80 per cent. of its crime.
"One of the strong points for max :
ing counties dry in Florida is the
claim that it lessons crime and court
expenses. Facts and figures are on
the side Of the drys to sustain this
claim, and the consequence is that
the voting is, in a majority of cases,
on the same side.-Jacksonville (Fla.,
