The Ladies Aid society of ST. Paurs
church conducted its annual sale of
fancy articles last Friday afternoon in
the basement of the church. Its mem
bers were quite successful in disposing
of the articles offered for sale and the
funds of the treasury were increased
accordingly.
A joyous heart is permanent bless
ing Our prices on wall paper, paints,
oils, glass, brushes, ETC., make the heart
glad-O c. Callies.
The Ladies' Aid society of the Presby-
terian church held an annual sale on
Friday last, which concluded with a
supper. Tables were arranged in the
basement of the church on which were
displayed fancy articles, flowers, candy,
ETC., presided over by the society's
members The sale and supper was
literally patronized which resulted in
neat profit to the ladies, in fact it was
one of the most successful fairs ever
held by the society.
Frank Garske, of McDill, Portage
county, was in the city today on his
way to Rhinelander for the purpose OF
ascertaining if a Minnie Garske that
died there last week was his sister She
claimed to be resident of Wausau but
no such person is known to have lived
here. The young man has sister,
Anna. away from home, whom the
family has not heard from for some
time, and under the conditions of the
death of the young woman mentioned
above, it is natural to suppose that she
wished to hide her identity and thus
gave fictitious name and address.

specialist and surgeon. will be at the

S2,OOO,OOO PER DAY
Cotton Exports For October Reach
the Enormous Total of
500, 283,412.00.

Washington, November 81
Two millions of dollars a day is
4 snug sum for the total receipts
from the sale of a single agricul-
tural product in single country,
even such a country as the Uuited
States. This is the figure shown
by the department of commerce
and labor, through its bureau of
statistics, is the value of cotton
exported from the United States
in the month of October, 1908.
The preliminary statement of
the bureau for the month of Octo-
Der shows the value of cotton ex-
ported in the month of October to
be $50, 283, 412, against $40, 000,-
900 in October, 1902; $4,000, 900
in October, 1901, and $50, 474, 437
in October, 1900. The total quaint
ity exported in October, 1908. as
shown by this preliminary state
ment, was 594, 540,872 pounds, be-
ing an average price of 10.1 cents
per pound.
This figure of $50, 100000 re-
ceipts for cotton in a single month
is not equaled in the history of
cotton exports except in the month
of October, 1900, when the total
value of cotton exported was $780,
A. Even the figures of $780,
283, 412 for the month of October,
1908, are subject to a slight pros
pectiye increase, as this prelimina-
ry statement of the bureau of stat
istics does not include the figures
of certain distant ports, through
which small quantities are export
ed.
1t should not be understood
from the above statement that the
value of cotton exports of the I'm
tied States averages 100000
per day the year around, although
they have averaged 100000 per
