Expelled Priest.
Paris, Jan. 22.-The Chamber of Dep

ment to-day in connection with the
case of Father Delsor, the Alsatiar
priest, who was expelled from France
recently on the ground that he was a
foreigner, seeking to foment agitation
against the government. His expul-
sion has revived the animosities grow
ing out of the F'ranco-Prussian war
a considerable element of the press
and public asserting that the expul-
sion of Delsor as a foreigner marked
the final abandonment of Alsace tc
Germany.
Owing to the chamber taking up the
question to-day extra military and po-

Premier Combes declared the agita-
ton had the same theatrical character
as Boulangerism. 1t was an effort to
revive an expiring Nationalist element

Washington, March 6.-Atlast
the department Of agriculture.
has run up against a practical
farmer who for the time being
seems to have called q halt on
scientific agricultural exploita-
tons.
The farmer i'll question, John
r. Daniels, resides a few miles
from Fargo, N. D. He came into
possession of a wornout farm OF
twenty acres, which then had two
COWS and Il horse for which hay
had to be bought. Now he keeps
four horses and from twenty-five
to forty head Of cows and young
cattle and is making a large in
come from the place, feeding
everything from the produce OF
the twenty acres.
The department Of agriculture,
through the state experimental
station, learned last year OF his
success and sent an expert to
study his methods. For couple
Of weeks the expert, who was
splendid farmer in a practical as
well as a scientific sense, followed
Mr.. Daniels over every inch of
the twenty acres, asking every
possible question as to methods
and results. A stenographer
came along in the rear taking
down questions and answers.
1t was found that Mr.. Daniels
had succeeded by introducing
what is known among those who
are ''read up on farm matters
as 'soiling.''
He had stumbled upon an old
book, little seen nowadays. by
Joshua Quincy, on the practice
Of cutting green forage and feed
ing it to COWS kept in q cool,
clean, fy-free stable, where they |
would have nothing to do but to
chew the cud of contentment and
profit and make all the milk
possible to be made from the tons
of green stuff hauled to their
managers.
Mr.. Daniels with only man
and a boy had found out how to
plant and SOW the succession OF
crops suitable for theprocess and
by hauling out manure every day
and spreading it OH his few acres
had made the soil extremely rich
and productive. He had built
large silos after the modern way
of preserving forage in a succul-
ent state for the winter, and he
had cut of all the losses and made
everything count for profit

on the part OF the authorities Arthur
Monette is incarcerated in the county

the charge of larceny and three wheels
stolen from Theodore Danielson, l..

covered. Throughout the summer

very suspicious. 1t was learned he had
a brother at Moon The brother was
visited by the sheriff in casual way
and three of the wheels located. The
wheels were not confiscated immed-
lately, but allowed to remain until last
Saturday night. Next day the sheriff
located Monette at Merrill and went mp

HIGH WATER.

The continued rainfall of Friday,
Saturday and Sunday has raised all
streams in this section, and especially
the Wisconsin river, to very high
stage. The government rain guage
shows that during that time 399 inches
of rain fell at this point and the fall
was even greater north and west of
here. During Sunday there was a very
rapid rise in the river and since then
some of the mills have been forced to
close down The paper mills at Bro
kaw, as it is usual in high water, was
flooded in the basement By about two
feet of water ANA had to close down.

A COUNTY HOSPITAL.

There seems to be of late some desire
upon the part of many citizens OF the
city and county TO build a county hos
pital in Wausau to be erected and sup
ported by the county. Some objection
has been offered that this would be a
burden on the taxpayer, but from some
investigation of other institutions OF
this kind, | find they soon become self
sustaining as has our county asylum.
That Wausau needs q public hospital
goes without question, and 1 think
thorough investigation by our county
board into the feasibility of the prGpo-
sition would result In the building OF
such an institution. Marathon county
does not lag behind, but is progressive
as il should be. Today patients in
county or city, needing hospital treat
ment and care, must be taken away
from home, and all county charges
must be sent to private hospitals where
the charges are high. but which would
be taken care of free in a county instl-
tuition Some charge that this Is doc
tors scheme. but not so, as their only
interest could be that they would have
q desirable place TO send patients, while
now they must send them away.
Modern surgery demands convenient
and well equipped operating rooms,
with competent nurses, something pri-
vate homes cannot give. The instItu-
ton would be looked after by trustees
elected by the county board or other
wise. and in my opinion the hospital
would soon be a paying investment
Therefore | would suggest thorough
investigation by the county board at as
early date as possible. A CITIZEN.
