Everybody Invited.
DISAPPEARANCE STILL A MYS-
Terry.

All the past week diligent search
has been conducted for Aug Ladwig,
who disappeared on Friday, Sept. 80
Two OF three persons, who knew him
well, saw him that evening and others
who claimed to have seen him were
not quite so sure when subjected to
rigid questioning. The last time he
was seen was after seven O'clock that
evening He was then crossing one of
the railroad bridges apparently on his
way home and appeared to be in an
intoxicated condition. There are
several holes IL the bridge, through
which man could fall, and there are
several places on the sides where one
could fall off into the wa ter. One man
was crossing the bridge at the same
time as Ladwig but there is so much
noise in that vicinity from the rush of
water, passing trains, etc, that even
had Ladwig fallen into the water a
moment after met by this man the
latter would not hear the splash or his
cries for assistance. Last Thursday
the police force directed a dragging of
the river, which was continued again
on Friday, but resulted in nothing
The general opinion is that Ladwig
fell off one of the bridges on his way
home or he may have wandered around
and walked off the river bank. AT all
events there is little hope now of find
ing him.
Wenzel l., Boehm, brother of Mrs.
Ladwig, and Geo. kutzenmeier, a
brother-in-law, both of Shawano, ar
rived here Friday night for the purpose
of assisting in the search After ascer-
tanning all the facts in the case they
are satisfied that Ludwig met death by
drowning. They are satisfied that the
authorities have spent every effort in
finding the body, and it is likely will re-
turn home without conducting any
further search.

WILSON COLLEGE.


Miss Frances Afbers, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w w. Albers, of this
city, who is attending school in Wilson
College, Chambersburg, Pa, writes a
very interesting letter to one of her
friends, descriptive of that institution
of learning, which the PILOT publishes,
with the kind permission of the friend
to whom the letter was written. Miss
Albers says:
"WilsOn College is situated in the
outskirts of Chambersburg and is ex-
tremely pretty. There are eleven
buildings, three dormitsries; Main, in
which are about one hundred bed rooms,
library, parlOrs, class rooms, post
office and dining room, Fletcher dor
mitory and South College, the Seniors
home The dining room seats about
three hundred fifty people and is
finished in blue and silver, the college
colors. Besides the dormitories there
are Science, and Thompson Music
Halls, the Gymnasium, the President s
home, Harmony Cottage, where some
of the teachers live, the Observatory
Servants Hall and the Infirmary Most
of the buildings are built of brick
except the Music Hall and the Gymna-
sium, which are of gray stone, with
white stone entrances. The Music
Hall auditorium seats about four hun
dred people and entertainments and
lectures are given here. Mr. Hamilton
Maybee, one of the editors of the
Outlook gave lecture here last Fri
day evening on Good Books The
Chambersburg people are asked to
come TO the lectures and concerts.
1.-The college campus is very large and
beautiful. There are great many
trees on it and a fountain in front OF
Main Hall. On either side of the latter
is large hockey field and back of these
are three tennis courts and basket
ball field At the back of the buildings
is large orchard of pear and apple
trees which are loaded with fruit. The
ConococheaqGe, a small stream, flows
thro the orchard and the Athletic club
owns about fifteen row boats which all
the girls are allowed TO use.
"Chambersburg is very pretty city,
most of the residences are built of white
and gray stone or brick with vines
creeping over them. The lawns are
immense with grand old trees that
command respect, and great many
shrubs
"Altho Chambersburg has only ten
thousand inhabitants there seem to be
a great many more people here than
there are at home because about
everyone is on the main street especial
~ when the college students 60 down. :

NEW MILL IN OPERATION.

The new mill of the Jacob Mortenson
Lumber Co. was started ap for the first
time Saturday morning, just to test the
boilers and belts. This morning crew
was put to work and saving begun, but
it is expected that there will be several
delays before the mill will be prepared
To operate steadily, because of the belt
ing being new and stretching The
mill is new from top to bottom and of
course everything may not work as
''slick as whistle" at the start. After
week or ten days night crew will
be put on which, with the day crew, will
make larger force by fifteen or twenty
men than was employed at the time the
old mill burned. The mill will be op-
Grated steadily throughout the wiater,
a 'hot pond being arranged later and
kept free from ice all winter loIg. The
company has about 900, 900 of dry hem
lock to cut out, some of it being logged
year ago. Many people who failed to
get wood previous to the fire have been
eagerly awaiting the saving of these
logs that they can get the slabs. The
company has also been cutting logs on
Rib and has nearly million feet banked
near the Northwestern Ry Co.'S gravel
pit. 1t also has supply at Gallon sta
tion. As soon as the dry logs are cut
out, logging trains will be put on and
the logs at the two latter places hauled
to the city and dumped into the pond.
The new mill is twenty-five feet short
er than the old one and is a single band,
lie, the band saw cuts but one way
while in the old mill it cut while the
carriage was being moved either way.
Running night and day, however, it will
have as large cutting capacity as the
old mill. The steam feed cylinder is
ten inches in diameter which is doubt
less larger than that of any mill in the
valley, the usual size is from six to
eight inches. Being run all through
the winter months it will give employ
ment to great many men who would
be forced to leave their families aud 90
to the woods or seek employment else
where. 1t will also furnish market
for farmers having logs TO sell during
the winter season.

FROM THE WEST.

John G. Curran who was the first
white man to settle near the present
site of this city some forty or more
years ago, spent the past week in town.
Mr. Curran's home is now at Everett,
Wash, where he has resided for several
years, and near which point he has
large timber interests.
He appears as hale and hearty as
when he welcomed the first line of
railroad TO Pelican rapids twenty odd
years since. Mr.. Curran superintended
the building of the old logging dam,
now being removed by the Paper com
pany, in 1878, and personally laid the
bed timber which are found as sound
as when irst placed in the waters of
the Wisconsin river at that date

GAVE HER POISON.

Miss Martha Klawinski is sick with
typhoid fever at her home near Ponia-
towski. One day last week the attend
ing physician sent her large bottle of
disinfectant, composed principally of
corrosive sublimate, and ia beef
tea, with Instructions for usin ne beef
tea. Miss Klawinski's attendants gave
her two spoonfuls of the disinfeetant
instead of administering the beef tea.
The patient Immediately vomited up
the deadly poison, but next morning
another dose was given to her, which
was likewise yomited mp. The girl is in
dangerous condition but even yet may
pull through. Athens Record

TO SHIP SUGAR BEETS.

The Menominee River Sugar Co.
which company was Successful in inter
esting a number of farmers, and som,
who are not farmers, in raising suga
beets in this county this season, vii
send a representative here this week
He win visit the different beet field,
and advise the owners when to com
mence pulling up the beets for ship
ment, and will arrange for cars to be a
their service at the nearest shipping
point. He may also later send another
man here to attend To other details
when the time comes for shipping.
On the whole the crop raised in Mara
thon county has been very successful
In some instances there has been fail
ure, but this was mostly due to the
backward season and lateness in get.
ting the seed sowed. A few who sowed
seed had no previous experience and
sowed too deep, or on soil not adapted,
and of course their crops were failures.
In the majority of instances, however,
the beet crop has been excellent. John
Golz, of the town of v ausau, exhibited
some beets at the county fair that were
as fine samples as ever grew out of the
ground. The ones raised down the
line of the St Paul on lands owned by
the &. d. Jones Land Co., the ones
raised by G. S. Curtis, at Fenwood, and
those by the Wansau Mems club on the
Wright farm il the town of Stettin, are
all first class. At the latter farm there
is "patcl" of twelve or fifteen acres.
Over twenty acres were sown to beets
on that farm in the spring, but some of
the soil was not suited to beet raising,
which together with the fact that suffi-
eient labor could not be secured at the
thinning OUT period, and continued
cold rains, made the crop a failure on
some portions, yet enough beets will be
harvested to pay all expenses of the
experiment and leave profit to the
club.
The county agricultural school raised
a large quantity but it is doubtful
whether the saccharine test will be
very high. Under the top soil of the
school grounds is a hard pan, which
forces root crops up out of the ground
or rather prevents them from going
down into the soil. and sugar beet, to
contain sugar, must be buried beneath
the ground Some of our farmers will
compete for prizes that are offered by
the sugar company for the highest test
in beets, aud if the quality of our other
crops is any criterion to judge by they
ought to win. 1t is variously estimated
that there will be from seventy-tive to
one hundred ears of beets shipped out
of the county this fall to the plant at
Menominee, and quite number from
the western part of the county to the
plant at Chippewa Falls. On the
profits of the experiment this year will
depend the acreage TO be planted
next season.

Of the installation of $4,000 street

library; 81 800 for water fiItering test
plant; one-third more street paving

which will bear their just proportion

levy.

A comparison of these figures with
the cost of previous years outside of
the year the water system was built
shows considerable increase. This,
however, is not due to any ra-Sh or
wasteful expenditures of the present
city administration but rataer to a
growth of the city. During the past
year great many sewers have been
laid, streets improved and special levies
made for street lighting plant, new
bridge, etc, all permanent improve
ments and which have swelled the
total AS the city grows, the expenses
will grow, but the increase in popula-
ton viii keep down the tax rate.

Many people right in this vicinity

able to drag about. Don't know what
ails them.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun

Our vinol Is the one great tonic re-

create strength, tone UP the digestive

create healthy appetite, make rich
red blood and strengthen every organ
in the body to do its work. 1t will
drive away every feeling of lassitude
heaviness and depression, and infuse
new life and energy.
Vinol is not a patent medicine, con-
tains no Injurious drugs, but it is the
most delicious and valuable prepare
ton Of cod liver oil known to medi-
