CHANGE IN LAW.

The general land Office at Washing
ton, says the T6mahawk Leader, has re
Gently issued a>eircular calling atten-
tion to several changes made by con
gress in the laws in regard to proving
up on timber and stone claims. Here
tofore it has been necessary to go
to Wausau with two witnesses
to prove up on a timber and
stone claim, which has been a great
expense to the applicant, but now
under the new law person can make
final proof before the clerk of the cir
cult court. The new law makes ii
much easier and less expensive for the
applicant The new law is an act of
congress dated March A. 1904. The fol-
lowing is quoted from the circular
sent to clerks of circuit courts;
You will observe that by this act the
only changes made in the act of March
II, 1902 (32 State, 63), amending sec
tion 1894, K. S., circular of instructions,
March 26, 1902, are that proofs, aflidavits
and Caths of any kind required to be
made by applicants and entrymen un-
der the various land laws named in the
act may, in consequence of this act of
March 4, 1904, be made in the county or
parish in which the land is situated, al
though the place of making same may
be outside the proper land district, and
such act also validates all such proofs
or at1idavits which have heretofore
been so made and duly subscribed.

THE FAIR AN EDUCA7 OR.

The Agriculturist Is greatly interested
in the county and other fairs held
throughout the country. 1t believes
that these exhibitions of products of the
farm are or can be made of great edu-
cational value to the interests they do or
should represent. 1t knows that the
county fairs can be made strictly agri-
cultural shows because in our own state
we have every fall an example OF it at
Wansau, visa fair that by the wise
management of secretary l.. X. Wright
and the cooperation of the best people
in the county has been made great
success-and they have allowed neither
side shows nor freak attractions" to
make it so. They do have attractions,
however, and these are most excellent
exhibits of live stock and farm prod
ucts, judged by authorities in their diff
ferent lines who can and do give their
reasons for their work.
When we hear people talking about
the downfall of the county fairs and
predicting that their end has come or is
about here, we are inclined to pity them
and wish that they could be so fortunate
as to attend fair like that held at
Wausau. Wisconsin Agriculturist.

town of Norrie, was up before Justice
Jones Thursday charged with robbery,
but his attorney secured transfer of
the case to Justice Clarke's court The
attorneys not being ready to proceed,
an adjournment was taken to May 18th.

ing witness, Aug. Schaedler, who also
lives in the town of NCrrie, little west

working in the railroad eompany's coal
sheds at Eland, but Tompaeh lost bis
position a few weeks ago On the 2lth

around the coal sheds. and after his dis
appearance one of the men missed a
jacket. Later in The day man dressed
in q railroad employees jacket and over
alls, and with his face all blackened up
with coal dust, appeared at Sehaedler' 5
home when Mrs. Schaedler was alone,
and making threats of doing her bodily
injury unless she gave him money,
frightened the woman so that she gave
him her pocket book, containing about
s. 90. Although the man had disguised
himself, tEa woman's description of him
talIied somewhat with that of Tompach
and his arrest followed.

Assembly, No. 81. Z. F. u, and their
friends enjoyed social at MERGERS hall

been completed for the entertainment
of a great many more, but rain kept
away half the expected attendance.
John W. Miller acted as POSTMASTER
and called upon Supreme Secretary
Merritt L. Campbell, of Neenah, who
was a visitor that evening, for an adj
dress.
Mr. Campbell confined his remarks
to the subject, "Why am fraternal-
ist," and gave clear, concise, intelligent
reasons for people joining fraternal in
surance orders, and dwelt upon the
work and good they have accomplished,
reciting as instances the Galveston and
Kansas floods, the New Richmond
cyclone, etc, where the fraternal or
ders disbursed thousands of dollars IN
the aid of needy brothers.
F. A. Hecker, who followed him,
read well prepared paper ct humor-
Gus thought, which kept those present
in good spirit. In explanation of how
he came 10 be seated at a table removed
from the rest of the assemblage, he said
he had followed a plate of cottage
cheese which Sheriff Chellis had levied
an attachment on, at the table where
he was originally seated, he having a
strong liking for cottage cheese, espec-
tally the kind donated to the society
that evening by the Marathon County
Dairy Co.
County Superintendent of Schools
John + Lamont was hext called upon,
and gave some very cogent reasons for
his joining the Z F. u, and urged more
active work by the local members
A. Spear, field worker now organ
izing lodge of the order in this city
for ladies only, made few remarks in
cident to his work, and stated that
within the next few weeks he intends
to have large class of ladies initiated
as charter members of new lodge.
As it was late when Mr. Spear got
through with his remarks the session
came to close. Supper was served by
John Peterson, proprietor of the Old
English Chop House.

grand worthy president of Fraternal
Order of Eagles, state conventions
have been forbidden, but DRY Dollar

issue special dispensation to Wiscon-
sin aeries, and they will hold a state
convention at Wausau. The question
of Ashland's representation at such

PHILIP KREUTZER HEARD FROM
In the Oil Fields of Indiana.

The Anderson Qnd) Bulletin had a
write up recently of the oil investment
being made by Philip Kreutzer, former
ly of this city and brother of Senator
A. l.. Kreutzer of this city. A few ex-
tracts from this article may be interest
ing to the readers of the PILOT:
"What we'll defined purpose will do
in the oil industry is strongly illustrat
ed in splendid results which have at
tended the development of the Redkey
field, said to be one of the most promis-
ing territories in Indiana or Ohio, and
one which presents great possibilities
for successful operation.
LESS than a year ago this territory
was regarded as wildcat in the true
sense of the word, but acting upon the
faith that was in them and against the
Judgment of many oil operators,
Messrs. Kreuuzer, Grimes and Goehler
went into this field and quietly secured
the lease of 5000 acres of land in a
solid body and laid the foundation for
the very promising results which have
already given evidence of being realized
"Actuated by his absolute confidence
in this territory and its surroundings,
Mr.. Krentzer has continued to secure
leases until he now holds, independent
ly, $500 acres of the most promising
land in Jay, Delaware and Blackford
counties and his operations will be ex-
tended With this object in view he
has organized the Dunkirk Oil and Gas
company, of which he is owner and
director This company has one rig
up and will begin drilling this week.
Mr. Kreutzer is man of undefatig-
able energy and coupled with this is a
worthy conservatism which gives him
that rare faculty of taking the initiative
in project and carrying it to sue
cessful development without being led
aside by any allurements which might
weaken or divert his purpose"

If the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad Co will carry out the plans as
they are reported the company's patrons
on the Valley division will have nothing
to "kick" about in the way of train

not be stated for positive certainty at
this time.

The train will have dining, parlor and
chair cars and will be as good train

The management has the honor to
announce the positive appearance OF
Ernest Shipman's New York produc-
ton of the Shakespearean comedy AS
You Like IT, which is being played in
few picked cities for spring tour OF
forty nights.
To add to the already welcome news
of this engagement it is only necessary
to state that the cast will be headed by
Miss Florence Gale, without any doubt
the most talked of and popular imper.
senator of Shakespearean heroines OF
| the past decade.
Manager Shipman originally engaged
Miss Gale to appear in his all-star pro-
duction of "Othello" which by the way,
has broken all records in point of at
tendance throughout the East this
present season, and that astute manager
had knotty problem to solve when he
decided to take her from that company
and place her with 'As you Like IT.
In all contracts signed by him for
Othello" it was stipulated that Miss
Gale was to play Desdemona and when
it became noised abroad that she was to
appear in "As You Like 1t" Mr.. Ship
man had some trouble. However, by
conceding other things he has so ar
ranged matters that we are to
have Miss Gale as the star, and we
have no doubt that not only from an
artistic sense, but in point of receipts,
vital question, Mr.. Shipman viii be
amply repaid for his worry and trouble.
This superb organization headed by
Miss Gale, will appear here on Thurs
day, May 10Th at the Grand opera
house. Prices 1901 00-75-50-25c.

IT'S so, IT'S sol

Wausau is in the midst of a potato
famine. The potato crop of last year
was practical failure. The wet sea
son and the cold weather of last sum
mer prevented the potatoes from
ripening, and most of them rotted in
the ground. This winter the severe
cold weather froze them in most of the
81 40 bushel. and at that are scarce,
and most of those that can be had are
touched by the frost Many families
have been without potatoes for several
weeks. Grand Rapids Reporter.

millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints rs a horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of great
wealth But millionaires are not the
only cnes who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi
gestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty-five
years. August Flower rouses the tor
pid liver, thus creating appetite and
insuring perfect digestion. 1t tones
