1t has been decided to hold the
annual meeting osthe Marathon County
Agricultural society, in November, at
the time the county board is in session.
This is done for Two reasons. First,
because many of the members of the
county board are also members of the
agricultural association, and second,
that the members of the board may be
invited to the meeting and become
interested in the welfare of the asSocia-
ton. AT this n.eoting, officers win be
elected and the secretary will make his
annual report, which viii include a
financial statement of the late fair.
The fair has been a decided success
under The present management a
better showing and more Improvements
being made each year, ard we think it
wise that the old officers be reelected.
They are untiring workers and under
stand the WORK of making fair that is
credit to the county.

SCHWANTES INSANE.

A A. Book, clerk of the circuit court,
received notice last week from the
state board of control stating that a
mental examination would be made of
Frank Schwantes in the state prison on
Oct. 5th, and that in case he was found
insane he would be sent to tie state
hospital at Oshkosh Schwantes, it
will be remembered, was convicted
here in circuit court three years ago of
having murdered VIM and Ernestina
Klokow, an aged couple living near his
place in the town of Spencer. He was
sentenced by Judge O'Neill, Of Neills-
vile, before whom the case was tried,
to serve the balsffce of his life in Wau-
pun prison. The general supposition
was that Schwantes went to the old
couples home and after numbering
them, SET fire to the house TO cover up
traces of the crime, and in this he
succeeded fairly we'll Tracks in the
light snow that had fallen that evening,
leading 10 and from his house to the
KlOkows was a tell tale, and all the
evidence, which was in the main cir
pointed the finger of guilt
at him as the author of the crime.
Shortly after he was incarcerated in
the state a.'::ssc;;i ms wife, who manifested
great grief at his conviction, was
divorced from him and married again.
Ever since being confined, it is said,
he has been gloomy and has spent his
spare time in brOoding over matters, so
that at present it is clearly apparent
that he is not of right mind

OPENS THREE LAKES CANAL.

The canal connecting Maple lake
with the Eagle chain of waters at Three
Lakes which has been four months in
process ofconstruction, was opened one
morning last week at Z O'Clock by the
explosion of twelve pounds ofdynamite.
A ditch 200 feet long and feet wide
was dug in less than two hours from
the time the water was let through, the
current increased IFS size to go feet in
width and i2 feet in depth, making fur
ther excavation unnecessary. Three
Lakes is now connected with a chain of
thirty-five lakes, making it most de-
sirable place for tourists.

MORE STREET CAR TALK.
A Representative of Eastern Cap
italists Visits Town

DR.. G. M. Funk, of Wytheville, Va,
spent Wednesday in the city for the
purpose of looking over the town and
Investigating conditions with view of
later asking for a franchise granting
the privilege of buildig a street car line
here. He is a representative of Eastern
men of capital that have been interest
ed in Wausau, and who, if conditions
warrant, intend building local car line
that may later be extended to other
towns. These men, he stated, had al
most unlimited wealth and mean busi-
ness.
He spent the day in gathering as
much information as possible as to the
feasibility of building such a line,
interviewed business men, talked with
city officials and secured a copy of the
old franchise. granted to local men
two years ago, and which has expired.
He appeared satisfied with conditions
and with the information he gathered
will go to his people and lay the matter
OCiotC IhCHis AC CApcCtS W lcluIH y
little later and petition the council for
a franchise and stated that if necessary
he would be prepared to furnish bond
or place a sum of money in any of the
city banks which shall be forfeited in
case his people do not build If they
see fit to ask a franchise, and it is
granted, these people will begin build
ing operations Immediately, he said
Within the past few years the city
council has granted three different
franchises giving privileges for build
ing a street car line and all have expired
without foot of line being built 1t
now remains to be seen what these
folks will do.

Chas. McCauley, alias Edward
Ratigan, convict in the state prison,
appeared before the supreme court last
week securely ironed. and through his
attorney plead for Ills release from
prison on habeas corpus proceedings
The grounds upon which he bases his
argument for freedom is that shortly
after he was imprisoned for the
Amherst bank robbery, he escaped and
that the time he was at liberty before
being recaptured ought to be deducted
from his prison sentence. Ratigan was
caught near this city in the spring of
1899 after desperate resistance, in
which he fought revolver battle with
Sheriff Thos. Malone and deputies
He is one of the smoOthest and most
desperate safe breakers on the con-
tinent If he secures his freedom
through present proceedings he will
Immediately be re-arrested under a law
fixing heavy penalty for breaking
Jail or prison.
Harry Seavers, of Appleton, was SEN
fenced in circuit court Wednesday to
serve one year in the states reformatory
at Green Bay for having committed the
crime of forgery. Seavers, our readers
will remember, was arrested two weeks
age charged with having forged the en-
dorsement of check he found belong
ing to VIM Girdwood, and afterwards
cashing the check and appropriating
the money to his own use. Realizing
the fact that he would stand little show
of being cleared if he stood trial he en-
tered a plea of guilty The young
mans father was present when the son
received sentence, and M b Rosen-
berry acted as attorney for the boy and
made strong plea for clemency, argu-
ing for the minimum sentence of one
years Imprisonment. The district
attorney was also of the opinion that
one year was sufficient. In view of the
fact that young Seavers has, so far as
can be learned, heretofore borne a good
reputation, and as this was his first
otfense, the Judge considered the
p lea of his attorney and sentenced him
as above stated.
