GO ON THE FARM.

When at the Hotel Pfister recently,
b. Heinemann, of this city, uttered the
following good words of advice to the
poor man, to Sentinel reporter:
Farms are the places for poor men
to get start he said 81 know men
VIII took up chopped over lands twenty
years ago, and gradually cleared up
farms Today they have property worth
from 5000 to $4,000, and are abso-
lutely independent Take the man who
started at the same time and went to
work in mill. If he has been frugal
and Industrious, he owns house and
will have, and he will have to keep
right along working for somebody,
while the farmer can, if he wishes, re-
tire and take things easy the rest of his
days. Both have worked hard, but it
seems to me the farmer has come out
away in the lead
at is true that the farmers up. our
way have had exceptional advantages,
because of the demand for oats, hay,
corn and potatoes to be used in camps
and in the woods We have never
raised enough of that kind of product.
and it has had to be shipped in. Con
sequently yOu can see that our mill men
have had to pay about Milwaukee prices
right at home, and the farmer has saved
what the freight would have cost.
These things have made farming pro-
titable in the north, and have materially
aided our settlers"

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED TO
CONVINCE

The clever scheming quack doctors
throughout the country have made
the people so sceptical as to be suspicious
of the whole profession and the induce
ments offered by those who advertise
mo cure no pay have drawn so many
victims who found out that the adver.
tisements were but subterfuges, and
they must pay for treatment, that it is
hard for those in need of medical treat
ment to know whom to consult.
Convincing proofs of physician
skill are found in the expressions OF
gratitude from those he has cured and
the confidence our people place in DR..
rTurbin, of Chicago, who visits our city
monthly, show that the doctor has
gained the respect and esteem of our
friends and neighbors through his abil-
ity to cure all chronic troubles
Byreason of his professional standing
his scientific knowledge and the success
which attends his visits here, he has
made so many friends as to remove all
doubt of his skill and prove that the
confidence is warranted
All chronic, nervous, and special af-
fections he successfully cures; his
method of treatment is safe and sure,
and we would advise those who suffer
from any such trouble, to consult the
doctor without delay
Consultation is free and DIR. Turbin
may be consulted with the same degree
of confidence as the family physician.
Dr. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day, Nov. Sd, at the Bells Hotel

Judge C.. g. Barrett, OF Edgar, was
in the city Saturday looking for sur
veyor to lay out town lots for him. He
stated that some time ago he plated
2l5 lots but the town is growing so fast
that now he finds he must plat another
addition He has built one thousand
feet of sidewalk and has men
engaged in setting poles for cleo
trio light wires. The villagers, he
stated, are making efforts to secure the
location of an excelsior and furniture
factory, and are also locking forward
to railroad connection with Athens.
Promoters are issuing weekly
paper, called the Edgar Torch, which
is furnished free tn about go people,
the advertisers paying the postage. AL
together he says the future looks rosy
for Edgar.
VIM. Slew ers, a farmer living in the
town of Weston, died Thursday morn
ing of Inflammation OF the bowels.
His death came suddenly and unex-
pec,ed for he had been feeling in his
usual health up to few days previous
to HIS sickness His wife was recently
very sick aud Tuesday last he was in
town buvipg medicines aud other ar
ticles for her and as .sen feeling quite
well. On Wednesday he was taken
sick aud after suffering eNcruciating
agony for several hours, died on the
morning mentioned. MIR. Siewers was
thirtv-five years of age and quite well
known in the city, having rssided in
the county for quite a number of years.
Funeral was held Sunday.

to carry him on his journey home. His
empty pocket book was later found in
the woods, and Young spent money
freely after the crime whereas he was
always short on finances, previously
If, as he stated, he had killed Smith in
self defense, and had brought the body
back to Athens and made open confess
sion of the murder, he might have got
off with much lighter sentence, but
the action he has now taken almost
precludes the possibility of ever again
gaining his freedom.
The public breathes sigh of relief in
the knowledge that he is thus disposed
of and at so little cost to the county.
A trial of the case no doubt would have
had the same results, and it is doubtful
whether it could have been tried in this
county for nearly everyone is familiar
with the case. Had change of venue
been taken to another county the ex-
pense would have been very great
The remains of Edward Smith are
now lying in the receiving vault of our
cemetery, it being intended at the time
they were placed there that they should
remain until after the trial Now that
the matter is perhaps forever settled it
is quite likely that the corpse will be
shipped to the parents home at Au-
gresh, Mich, for burial.
Thus ends the final chapter of a crime
that has startled the whole county by
reason of facts which has made it APP
pear as one of the most brutal that has
occurred in Northern Wisconsin in
years. The murder was such a bung-
ling piece of work throughout as to
cause few people to doubt whether
Young was really guilty of it, in view
of his actions. 1t did not seem reason
able that man could commit
such crime and make so little effort
to hide it. That murder will out has
been fully exemplified in its statement
in this case.

MRS. sTARKWEATHER DEAD.

Widow of Late Major Giles Starkweather
Died at Her Home ON Congress Street.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Starkweather,
aged rs years, widow of the late Maj
Giles E. Starkweather and one of the
best known ladies of the city died at
her home on Congress street Friday
evening after a short illness from
heart disease. Mrs. Starkweather was
taken seriously i'll some two weeks ago
and her death was not unexpected.
Her sole surviving daughter, Miss
Abbie C. Stsrkweather, and other rel
atives were with her when the end
came.
Mrs. Starkweather was a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. David Griffith. She
was born at Syracuse, New York, Feb.
Ia, 1923. Shortly after her marriage
to Major Starkweather she came to
Wisconsin and for many years made
her home in Milwaukee. Some time
after the death of Major Starkweather
Mrs. Starkweather came to.this city to
live hut she had spent much of her
time at Cleveland, Ohio.
The deceased was woman of many
noble qualities and her death has
caused great sorrow among her friends.

forgotten Ia the Kenosha Annual.
There is large cut of the leading
athletes of the school and the records
of the boys during the year are given.
The annual portion of the book
closes with splendid selection of
High School poetry all written by
members Of the class. The poetry is
not of the hackneyed sort that is usual
" given out in such books but it is of
high order and reflects credit on the
authors. It would be impossible to
mention all the interesting features of
this portion of the book but it is only
necessary to state that the Annual
teens with good things for the boys
and girls of the High School and their
parents cannot but be interested in the
happy manner in which the material
has been selected and edited.
The book is remarka bly, well printed
on fine book paper and is bound so
thatit will form an addition to any of
the libraries in the city.
Hundreds of copies of the Annual
could have been sold at price double
the amount asked by the boys but they
have placed the price at dollar and is
expected that copy will find its way
into every student house in Kenosha.

MARATHON COUNTY LANDS.

The recent opening up of thousands
of acres of fine farming and timber
lands in Marathon county, has created
quite rush of settlers and investors
to thats section of the State. Mara
thon county, situated almost exactly
in the center of the State, is noted for
its fertility and its natural resources.
Nearly every acre of land is tillable.
Government reports show that there
is a smal1erI percentage of waste and
swamp lands than in almost any other
county in the State. Marathon is one
of the leading counties at the State
Fair in agricultural and dairy pro-
ducts. The unimproved lands within
short distance from railroad stations
are covered with hardwood timber in
quantitiesns sufficient to pay for. the
price of the land andsthe cost of clear
ing. Thesettler can find a handsome
profit in the sale of timber products,
besides making a valuable farm and
home in this fertile region by clearing
the land. Il These 1andsscan be had at
from six to sixteen dollars per acre,
and someS partly improved farms at a
CORRESPONDENCE low figure.
FREE excursions for purchasers run
weekly to Wausau, the center of this
region. For further information APP
