The CROW BILL.

The Milwaukee Free Press of Sun
days issue says:
"The time in which the governor
should have signed the crow bill has
expired and the bill has not as yet been
deposited with the secretary of state.
While this cannot be stated positively
as pOrtending a veto, it is believed by
some of the Assem- blymen who take an
interest in the measure that this is the
case. After the bin had passed an
effort was made To recall it from the
governor for the purpose Of changing
Il. The bin passed in a spirit OF fun,
and but little attention was given to the
drawing of the measure. Ii was not
the original intention To pass the meas
nre, and after it got through so1e de-
sired to call it bacS. so that II could oe

prevented this aud now some of the as
semblymen fear the bill may De

This bill has stirred up a great deal
of criticism from the state press, more
unfavorable than otherwise The Dunn
County News argues against the OH
from a political standpoint. thus

WARN YOUR CHILDREN.

1t will stand our citizens well in hand
to warn their children, when going to
the cemetery, not to desecrate the
grounds in any way; the trees and
flowers there are grown in memory OF
the dead. Great care and patience
have been exercised IN all this and for
any to 90 there and deliberately break
down the trees or pull up the flowers,
should receive the severest penalty of
the law. The association has a stand
ing reward of $500 which it offers to
the person who discovers any one
mutilating trees and picking flowers on
the cemetery grounds, and who will
notify an officer of the violation. Last
week a little girl went to tie cemetery
and broke down several of the little
pine trees, taking the boughs of the
same and putting them on her sister $
grave Later, when one of the officers
of the association spoke to the girls
father about the matter, the child was
brought in and questioned, she admit
ted having committed the deed, but
thought there was no mcfe harm IN
mutilating the trees on the cemetery
than those that grow in the woods.
There was nothing done in this case as
the child was too small to be- i'esponsl.
BILE, but parents should impress it upon
their children not to touch q tree,
sprout or flower that grows in the Gem.
etery, by so doing they may save lots
of trouble for themselves as well as for
the cemetery association.

GOOD WORK.

The good work done by Senators
KreutZer and Stout in securing addi-
tional state aid for the County Schools
of Agriculture and Domestic Economy
of Marathon and Dunn counties should
not be overlooked by fhe people.
When these schools were organized the
state agreed to pay only one-half the
cost of instruction, but by the law Sc
cured through the efforts of these two
senators the state increases its support
TO two-thirds the cost of maintenance
When the County Training school for
teachers was established those who op-
posed the school insisted that the cost
to the county would grow greater each
year. The reverse has been true and
although the school has steadily grown
in size and Importance the cost has
grown less each year. The same thing
will be true of the Agricultural school
and the county will now pay Just
enough to keep control of the laal ad-
ministratiou of the school, Marathon
county has builded wisely and We now
have an institution that is practically
state school, but under the complete
control of the county authorities and
one that will be of incalculable benefit
to the county. 1t was through Sena-
tor Kreutzer's popularity and ability
that he was made chairman of the Com
mittee on Judiciary aud a member of
the Joint Committee on Claims and of
the Senate Committee on Education
and these preferences gave him power
to secure this additional state appro-
priation to these schools.
The law places our school where it
cannot be said to be burden On the
tax payers and does much toward
making it independent of local fnan-
cial support.

YOUTHFUL BURG LARS.

Wednesday Judge Silverthorn SEN
fenced Louis Schopf, of Athens, aged
twenty-one TO serve one year in the
state prison and his brother Joseph,
aged seventeen, to term in the in
dustrial school until he is of age. The
crime charged, and to which they plead
guilty, was burglary. 1t appears from
the boys stories that on the Saturday
evening previous they secured and
drank a quantity of Athens whiskey,
which was responsible for their actions
later. After filling up on the com-
pound of fusil oil and Sitrol they pro-
ceeded to the farm house CT Herman
Cook and breaking into an Outbuilding
took therefrom some brides, cellulOid
rings and harness trimmings to the
value of S1745 The next day the
younger boy came to Cooks place and
asked to see the trimmings, claiming
he had purchased a set like them and
wished to make comparison. Cook
became suspicious and had the boys
arrested At first they denied know
ing anything about the theft but later
made a confession and showed the
officers where the articles were hidden,
under some hay. The boys were taken
before Justice Schmidt at the village,
where they plead guilty and were fined
S25 and costs each, Tuesday afternoon
the district attorney, who had been
notified of the arrest, went over to
Athens accompanied by the sheriff, and
there found out what had taken place.
AS the breaking into building in the
night time is a statutory offense in, the
trial of which justice has no jurisdic-
ton, the young fellows were re-arrested
and brought TO Wausau. They next
day stated their desire to enter a plea
of guilty before the circuit Judge, with
the results as above stated.

lard, at Waukesha, superintendent OF
state hospital at Mendoza, and also in
the residence of A. S. Ludlow of the
same city. It is also putting in hot
water plant in the Portage Hosiery
company's works at Portage City. A
popularity about this plant is that the
water is heated by the exhaust steam
from the engine. A large plumbing
job is also being done by A B. Wheeler
& Son III St. Johns parish, at Marsh

EFFIE ELSLER.

a 1t is seldom that the people of Wau-
sau have an opportunity of seeing such
q performance as was presented at the
Opera House last Thursday evening,
on which occasion Miss Effie Elsler APP
peare6 in when Knighthood Was in
Flower" 1t was a grand piece of work
as interpreted by Miss Elsler and her
support. Few novels have attained
the artistic and financial success of
when Knighthood Was in Flower"
The book was copyrighted in 1896 and
has had since then sale of nearly
half million copies. 1t was dramatized
the following year by Paul Kester,
pecially for Julia Marlowe and pro-
q iced at the Criterion Theater, New
York, where it ran one whole year,
netting Miss Marlowe's manager, $780,
coo. The Duchess-queen,p princess Mary
Tudor, of England, who was described
by the chroniclers of her time, as the
only good woman in the court of Henry
VIII, was taken by Miss Elsler and she
is said to be, by those who have seen
both, fully as good as JulialM !;
she pleased her Wausau audience to
such degree that it was necessary for
her to appear at the close OF
every act, before the applause would
cease. The stage settings were equal
to anything ever seen here. There
were five massive stage settings repre-
senting Windsor Park, London; Bride
well Palace, London; The Great Bow
and String Inn, Bristol; King Louis
Royal Palace, Paris and Greenwich
Palace, London which were said to be
historically correct. The entire support
was composed of artists. The house
should have been crowded but it was
not; it was only comfortably well filled.
Mr.. Cone is certainly giving the public
some excellent attractions and the
public should show proper apprecia-
ton by turning out and giving full
houses and thereby encouraging him
in his work.

DAM BILLS PASSED.

The bills presented to the state legis-
lature by Wausau parties, through their
representatives at Madison, allowing
them the right to construct dams across
the Wisconsin river for the purpose
"of creating hydraulic and electric
power and transmitting and using
same" have been passed and approved
bv the governor and are now in force.
The object in building these dams Is
guessed at by the people to mean that
they are TO furnish the power for an
electric railway, and now that the
gentlemen have secured the rights
asked, the people look forward to them
accomplishing something. Bill No.
234a gives c. j. Winton authority to
build dam in sections 80 and 80, L 26,
R.7. This is near the Portage county
line, below what is known as Battle
Island, and will furnish an excellent
water power Bill 235a allows tise
same rights to J ID. Ross, G.. } Ninton
and Z. ". Brooks in L 90 Z, at Just
what point on the Wisconsin river is
not stated, but il is ,urmised that Roth
childs will be the place. Bill 259a
authorizes G.. D. Jones and Neal Brown
to harness the river in sections l3 or II,
Il. 80 r : which is at arapids northwest
of Trappe City, these gentlemen now
owning the land on both sides of the
river at that point. All are excellent
points for the purposes to be attained.
and the three can furnish power
enought to run cars from Wausau to
the Gulf of Mexico. We look for
something doing in this work and
that at not far date. While the
gentleman mentioned do not herald
their movements with brass band
music, they are at work all the time,
and one of these days we may be able
TO announce to our readers that crew
of men has begun laying the steel bands
that are to connect towns of the Wis
consin river valley. and carry the cars
of an electric inter-urban railway.
