SURPRISING CURE
BY DR.. TURBIN

1t is perfectly astonishing to note the
results of certain modern methods of
medical treatment
Some time since there applied to Dr.
l.. M. Turbin, the noted specialist, who
is well known in this community
through his monthly visits to Wausau,
Mr.. Emil Griffin, of Deerfield, who had
treated with various doctors for nervous
debility for several years without OBJ
tanning help.
His general health became so depleted
from the weakness caused by frequent
severe attacks, as to make him at times
contemplate suicide. The opinions eX-
pressed by some of the physicians whom
he consulted were that his vitality was
so low and the nerve-system so wrecked
as to give the case severe feature of
hopelessness.
In this dire extremity, the patient
called upon DIR. Tnrbin, who probed
deeply into the cause of the patients
terrible state. After thorough exami
nation, DR.. Turbin discovered that his
patients debilitated nerve-system, ag
gravated by neglect, could be restored
to normal condition by scientific treat
ment.
For snch cases DR.. Turbn has a
wonderfully effective system of treat
ment which he at once applied in this
case with the result of immediate re-
lief and a speedy cure. Thus is proven
that scientific, conscientious physician
is master of grave conditions by reason
of his possession of deep medical knowl-
edge and acute skill.
Those who wish to consult specialist
who is thoroughly abreast of advanced
science and who can cure any forms of
chronic diseases -in men and woman,
may be assured that they are right in
calling upon DR.. Turbin. He has the
utmost confidence of many of our fore
most citizens, and he merits it, The
doctor may be consulted in Wausau,
Tuesday, May 18th at the Bells hotel.

DEATH OF MRS. VIM. JALLEY.

Anna, wife of VIM H. Jalley. died
last Tuesday evening at the family
home in the town of Weston just south
of the city. She had been i'll but
short time, having contracted cold
a few days previous, which developed
into pneumonia. Mrs. Jalley and her
husband were among the earliest resi-
dents of the section now within the
corporate limits of Wausau. Deceased,
whose maiden hume was Annie Dunn,
was born in Ireland April %, 1888. She
emigrated to this country when quite
young and settled in Milwaukee, where
at about the age of twenty-one, she was
married to VIM. Jalley. Shortly after,
they came to Wausau, and this has
been their home ever since, up to about
six years ago, when they moved south
of the city on a. farm facing the Scho-
field road Besides her husband de-
ceased is survived by three sons and
four daughters. all of whom are living
in different and remote sections of the
country, the ones living nearest being
present at the funeral, which was held
Saturday morning from St. Mary's
church.

Climatic Cnres-

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawD. The poor patient and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syr-
up. Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitating night
sweat Restless nights and the exlaus-
tion due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to warmer
cline, you will find that of the thou
sands of consumptives there, the few
who are benefited and regain strength
are those who use German Syrup. Trial
bottles, Poe; regular size, 75c. At al

INCREASE IN ACREAGE.

Few people outside of real estate
men realize how fast the assessed
acreage of Marathon county lands is
Increasing each year. In going over
the returns made by the town clerks to
the county clerk we have found some
very interesting figures and give here
with the result for five years. These fig
ures are fer lands in the county that
have been returned for the years given,
as assessable
Year 1899 ...............9 .969, ,5Gt Acres

There are several reasons for this In
crease one being that state lands have
been purchased and settled upon from
year to year, and are now subject to
taxation. But notwithstanding the in
crease from this source, it is fact that
IN Wausau and many of the villages,
lands that have heretofore been taxed
as farms, have since been plated into
city and village lots, and are taxed as
such For instance, in the city of Wau-
sau for last year the sum of | 73l acres
was given as the assessed acreage, while
the year before there were 1914 acres
credited t., the city OF the towns, Pike
Lake, which contains eighty-four sec
tons, and is the largest town in the
county, has so, 500 assessed acres, and
the town of Vein the smallest amount

Tor number of years to come before

greater than that OF any year, owing
to the sale by the state of several thou

ONLY 10000 MILLIoNAIREs.
Number includes All There Are In tn

The New York Press says: II there
are 100000 millionaires in the United
States, as Senator Depew said at the
dinner given by John D. Rockefeller
Jr., to his Bible class, an official OF
great commercial agency and the pres
ident of one of New Yorks richest
banks are decidedly in error. Both
placed the number of millionaires
in the entire world at 10000. There
are 1000 in the United States and l,OOO
Of these live in New York city, wheth-
er they pay taxes here or not. The n
nancial Red Book, a most carefully
compiled publication, gives the names
Of practically all the persons in the
United States, who are supposed to be
worth more than 100000. And there
are only $4,000 names on the list. No
claim is made that the names of every
person worth that amount or more is
given, but the proportion of those left
out is extremely small, for most eX-
haustive investigation has been made
There may be few more than 1000
millionaireS in the United States" said
the official of the mercantile agency.
II doubt it, however. 1 also doubt If
there are more than 1000 millionaires in
New York city. 1t is absolutely i'm
possible to tell accurately. 1t may
seem strange that we should not be
able to tell, especially when we are
engaged in finding out how much a
man is worth, and giving such infor-
nation to our subscribers.
But in the last few years there has
been 4 marked tendency among men
of wealth to conceal the amount of
their worldly possessions. The first in
centive in this respect is the vulgar
prominence that is given to the man
who has lots of money.
There are other reasons men have
for Suppressing knowledge of the
amount of their wealth. Some wish to
avoid heavy taxation and give false re-
turns. Another man may have made
his money in a business not supposed
to be especially lucrative and he does
not care to have his affluence blaZoned
forth to arouse competition. There also

CHEERS For THE CoLoNEL.-Con-
gressman Currier, who halls from New
Hampshire, says the New York Trib-
une, tells story of a military funeral
up in his state. "A well-known colo
mel died in a certain state of the Un-
ion," said Mr.. Currier. THE boys, very
commercially desired to give him an
appropriate funeral. 1t was decided tc
bring a battalion of the guard to town
to assure the proper observance OF
military honors.
The battalion arrived the evening
previous to the funeral. The boys had
no immediate business on hand and be-
fore the hour of the obsequies I am
sorry to say some of them were feeling
pretty good. After the funeral cere-
monies the coffin was borne out
through the door between lines of mil
itiamen standing in proper position

colonel. He was d-n good fellow!
