Otto Sell, step-son of John BALI, of the
town of Wausau, was examined in
Judge Miller's court Friday and COM
mitted to the Home for Feeble Minded
at Chippewa Falls, and was taken 10
that institution at noon of the same day
by Mrs. W. G. Dickens. The boy Is
fifteen years of age, and though capable
of gaining some education, he has
never had any advantages of learning.
w IL. Heideman and Albert Dono-
van, the two agents Of the L. A. Chap
man Co, of Milwaukee, arrested here
last spring for selling goods without
city license, were arrested at Rhine
lander last week on the same charge.
E. Rickmeyer, the fur man, who spent
few days here last week, was arrested
there charged with like offense. The
two former secured continuance of
their case and gave bonds for their ap-
pearance while the latter plead guilty
and paid fine. The RhiRelander Vim
dicator in commenting on the arrests
says: "The proposition is one which is
being generally discussed throughout
the city, and one which has caused no

CLEARED $4,000.

A meeting of the officers and directors
of the Marathon County Agricultural
association was held early last week for
th e purpose of settling up the affairs of
the association for the past year. The
auditing committee found that after
premiums are paid and state aid is re-
ceiyed, there will be deficit of 81, 600 to
carry over to next year. Had it not
been for the improvements made this
year however, thereIwould have been a
gain to the association of 1900 The
new buildings, repairs, painting, ETC.,
made this year, cost the association
SO, 1867 but next year the expenses
will be light in comparison, and it is
hoped that the debt may be wiped out
and balance left in the treasury.
One of the gracious acts performed
at this meeting was the raising of Secy.
Wright's salary for the past year. In
view of the efficient work done by him to
raise the fair of this year to its high
standard, and the success of the enter
prise, financially and otherwise, it was
deemed proper to reward him with a
salary somewhere nearer commensar-

CITY is POW WERLESS.

Last Tuesday we mentioned the fact
that the supreme court had that day
reversed the decision in the case o. the
City of Wausau VS.. w. II. Heideman,
an agent arrested in this city for selling
goods withouta a city license. Accord
ing to the decision of Justice Marshall
an agent soliciting orders by sample
does not como under the head of tran
sient merchants and does not require a
license. Unless such agent brings with
him stock of goods which he delivers
when sale is made he is not considered
a transient merchant within the mean
ing of the law and cannot be taxed
The case rests as follows:
at is not claimed in the complaint,
which was written by Justice Marshall
established by evidence or found by
the court, that The appellant brought
into the city any other goods than the
samples he carried about with him as a
mere travelling agent, or that he offered
for sale or sold any of such samples or
any goods by sample or otherwise
That essential of the ordinance was left
wholly uncovered. In that situation it
seems that the case of the city clearly
failed to satisfy the calls of the ordi-
nance Being penal law, upon famil
lar principles it must be strictly con-
strued against the city if open to con-
struction at all. The learned trial court
obviously supposed it was so open, for
certainly the mere taking of orders for
goods at Wausau, to be filled out of
mercantile stock in Milwaukee, exhibit
ing samples in So doing, is not within
the literal sense of the words, bring
into the city of Wausau any article or
articles of trade etc, and sell or ex-
pose for sale, barter or exchange, by
sample or otherwise any such goods
Such LITERAL sense plainly covers only
selling of goods by samples or other
wise out of stock of goods brought
into the city by the seller and presented
therein. To read into the words used
the idea that they were aimed at mere
travelling men, or agents, taking orders
for goods as appellant did, would re-
quire not only construction, but con-
hardly warranted in any case; certainly
not in one involving the rights of
person charged under penal statute !"
Thus it is apparent that the city at
torney is powerless to prevent these
statesmen from entering the city and
taking orders for the firms they repre-
sent, but action can be taken in regard
to outside people who come here and
rent store or grounds and offer for
sale goods that come in competition
with home merchants.

BOOK AGENTS CAUGHT.

Sheriff Cheilis received word Thurs
day evening from Merrillan Jet that
two fellows answering the description
of the two. men wanted for alleged
swindling operations among the town
school boards in towns of Mara
thon county about two weeks ago
were being held there. Summoning
Jos. Burger, of the town of Wausau,
one 6f the parties of whom they Sc
cured an order, he went to Merrillan,
Burger going with the sheriff for the
purpose of identification. They proved
to be the right parties and were brought
back Friday evening and locked up in
jail. Saturday they were brought be-
fore Judge Miller and Atty. M b.
Rosenberg, who appeared for them,
asked for and secured continuance
until Oct. 9th at nine O'Clock in the
forenoon, they being required to give
bail for their appearance, each in the
sum of $400. When here before in the
week of Sept. 1919 one of them went
by the name of E. j. Gies, but is now
known as Wilson McGeachy and it has
been learned he has travelled ps3der
several other aliases since leaving here
They were working in Jackson county
when caught, and had secured two or
ders there but also had orders on school
boards in Rock and other counties.
The method they pursued in jackson
county was similar to the one they used
here, and no doubt they would have
been successful in doing better busi-
ness had not the banks been warned to
be on the lookout for them.

Is YOUNG GUILTY2

Under this caption the Athens Record
has the following to say of the myster-
ious disappearance of Edward Smith,
mention of which was made in this
paper last week. Young is now serving
sixty day sentence in the county Jail
for not paying board bill at the Athens
House. Searching parties have gone
over the ground where the body of
Smith was supposed to be secreted, but
all efforts in finding any clue have
failed and the ground is now being
rapidly covered with mantle of leaves
Art Young's connection with the mys-
terious disappearance of Ed. Smith has
aroused n suspicion in many minds that
he could throw considerable light upon
the mystery. Young was the last per-
son seen with Smith and his verson of
Smiths departure is anything but plaus-
ible. Young and Smith left Athens
about O'Clock in the afternoon and at
q O'Clock Young had returned with the
livery rig. Young says Smith got out
of the buggy ut the school house about
mile south of Poniatowski and that
he did not notice in which direction
Smith went, but returned at once to
Athens. 1t should not have taken him
three hours to go that distance, and
three hours is insufficient time in which
, to drive to Edgar and return.
When Young returned the team to
the livery stable, Smiths valise was
found in the buggy and was hung up in
the Office by the stableman. The valise
soon after disappeared and was found
| later in 1oung'S room at the Athens
hotel Upon the day of Smiths disap-
pearanee Dan Bilsie, the livery man,
was in Edgar and when he passed the
school house on his return trip, noticed
buggy track coming from the
west and from the direction of
lonely stretch of woods. Bilsie
| followed the tract to Poniatowski,
where he found the, team hitched in
front of Wisnewskfs saloon. He
thought nothing of the matter as he
was absent when the team left the barn.
Young also had considerable money
shortly after Smiths disappearance
To Rob Mcconnell he showed u roll of
money in which Mcconnell says there
was $50 or $50. The fact that Young did
nothing for four or five weeks and yet
appeared to have considerable money
also raised a question as to how he was
able to live without working. The evil
dence against Young is purely circum-
stantial, yet strong eircumstantial evi-
dence is sufficient to convict.
| On the other hand il is said that when
Young aud Smith left Athens they were
Intoxicated, having been drinking all
day If this be true there is "A poSsibil-
ity that they quarreled and that Smith
did get out and start to walk the remain
/ ing distance to Edgar. If he had done
this it is also probable that he would
have forgotten to take the valise from
the buggy, Young has plenty of eyi-
| denee To prove his innocence, yet should
] the affair come to trial his previous bad
4 record in Michigan and the cireum-
stances surrounding Smiths disappear
ance would give him hard fight.

KILLED BY SEWER CAvE-IN.

Tuesday afternoon last at about $50
Max Friedrich, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Friedrich, living at 72S Scott street,
was killed in sewer cave-in.
The boy was playing with others of his
own age and they were engaged in
jumping back and forth over the trench
when at an untin.ely moment the earth
caved in carrying with it three boys, two
of whom were only partly covered with
dirt and scrambled out again but the
other, young friedrich, was completely
buried. AS it was getting dark the
workmen were about ready to go
home. Some had already gone but the
others were notified of the accident and
set to work with their shovels and soon
dug the boy out, but life had passed
from him. He had been hurled against
the south wall of the trench and buried
at depth of five feet from the level of
the road. Death had apparently been
instantaneous for his head was so badly
crushed that the oval shaped bones
over Tapped one another, his neck was
broken and he suffered other bodily in
jury. The south wall of the sewer was
hard and firm and the loose sand had
jammed him with fearful force. The
coroner was called and after an exam
ination of the body the remains were
removed to the parents home.
The boy would have been eleven
years old had he lived until next
December and was one of four children.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon
from the German M. E. church. The
children of the department of the Hum
boldt school, which the boy attended,
contributed floral offerings and many
of them attended the funeral
The accident is sad one to the
parents and will be warning to others
No blame can be put upon the sewer
contractors for they have exercised
care, so far as possible, in keeping boys
away from the trench. The only way
it could be done effectively would have
been to put patrol of men guard 4
ing the trench at all times.

HAMBERLAIN'S COUGH
REMEDY,

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
aud grip etfectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also certain
cure for Group. Whooping cough is
rot dangerous when this remedy IS
given. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given rs
confidently to baby as to an adult.
1t is also pleasant to take. When all
of these facts are taken into consider.
alton it is not surprising that people in
foreign lands, as well as at home,
esteem this remedy very highly and
very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale by
all leading druggists.

LAND SALES OF LAST YEAR.

The register of deeds, Edward G..
Kretlow, has just completed his annual
report of the land sales made in the
county dpring the pas year ending
Sept. 1st, ND which viii be filed with
the secretary ei state at Madison. The
report is adite lengthy and required a
Gcath in compilation and differs some
what from the report of last year in the
fact that it shows the exact number of
real estate sales in each town, village
and city instead of giving the sales of
the county at large. The purpose of
the report, it is stated, is to give the
state tax commission an opportunity of
making comparison with the reports
of the different assessors.
The following real estate sales are by
law not included in the report: O
sales covering more than one assess
ment district, ~ sales where the con-
sideration is 81, (3) quit claim deeds, "a
