the army now has an annual income
OF about $5.000,0O0. The Britishers do
not make any reflections upon the gem

A SERIOUS OFFENSE.

Sheriff Chellis arrested john Kop-
szinski at Kelly Saturday night on
complaint of Mrs. Augusta Miller, of
Ringle, who charges that the man has
been guilty of criminal assault upon
her daughter, Martha. The alleged
crime is claimed to have been committed
on the night of the 18th of last Febru-
airy while the two were returning from
Kelly to the girls home. Kopszinski
shortly after skipped out and his where
abouts were unknown until few days
ago, when he came back and went to
work at the John Manser mill at Kelly.
He was brought into court yesterday
morning for hearing, but owing to
the absence of the district attorney a
continuance was taken to Wednesday.
The girl is but fourteen years of age
and her father, e.. Miller, came to a
tragic end year ago, by shooting him
self through the head one evening while
in a remorseful state of mind.

TO LIVE STOCK GROWERS.

Bulletin No. ia, entitled "A Lesson
in Bovine tuberculosis, issued by the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Station, is one of great Importance to
every grower of live stock. 1t treats
especially of the way in which the
disease is introduced into herds through
the purchase of stock which may show
no physical SYMPTOMS of the disease, and
yet react to the tuberculin test. An
actual instance Is cited where herd
was sold at public auction, and of the
forty-one animals thus disposed Of,
thirty-one were found to react TO the
tuberculin test
Copies of this bulletin viii be sent to

GET RID or STUMPS.

As there are bnt few farmers in Mara
thon county who have no stumps on
their land the following might be of in
terest to them. The method quoted be-
low is from the Scientific American, a
paper usually reliable and up-to-date.
In the autumn bore hole one or two
inches in diameter, according to the
girth of the stump, vertically in the
center of the latter, and about eighteen
inches deep. Put into it one or two
lunches of saltpeter, fill the hole with
water and plug up close. In the spring
take Out tne plug and pour in about
one-half gallon of kerosene oil and ig-
mite it The stump will shoulder away,
without blazing, to the very extremi.ies

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS.

Since the thunder storm of last Thurs
day morning numerous instances of
damages resultant from the lightning
of that morning are reported, and it
appears that the storm was heavier
east and south of the city than in or
near town.
At the farm of VIM. Koknhorst in the
town of Wausau the family dwelling
house was struck and badly damaged.
Mr.. Kohnhorst's wife and children were
home at the time but were only shocked
and frightened. The lightning struck
at the top of the chimney and running
down scattered bricks in every direc-
ton, making a complete wreck of that
structure, and also done considerable
damage to the walls and other portions
of the house.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Sell, located on East hill, also suffered.
The storm broke in its fury at about
four O'Clock that morning and shortly
after that hour the Sell home was
damaged The bolt appears to have
entered the house at several different
points for there was hardly a room in
The house that was not visited and badly
damaged leaving the house almost a
wreck. Furniture in the different
rooms was also destroyed and the whole
will entail large financial damage.
Mr. and Mrs Sell and three children.
were in the house ut the time anl were
momentarily stunned by the shock and
the house dog sleeping in the yard was
killed outright Barns and hay stacks
belonging to A. Hochstein, residing
east of the city, were struck and burned
to the ground and people coming into
town next day encountered many trees
that had been broken off by lightning
and fell in the roadways. From other
sections of the country come reports OF
damage more or less serioGs in its
nature, but so far we have heard of no
deaths. One farmer in the southern
portion of the county, whose name we
did not learn, is said to have lost three
head of cattle The animals were
standing near a wire fence, which acted
as a conductor, when they were
killed Nearly every post in the fence
was shattered.
