he received a fee of $4,000, a windfan for a
young lawyer in his early twenties.
By 1877, when Parker was tWenty-six, he had
already made his talents and energy so well known
in Ulster County that he was asked to take the
Democratic nomination for Surrogate. He was
in the minority party, and the Democratic ticket
went. down in defeat; but so remarkably large
was the vote for Parker that on election night the
return for Surrogate was still in doubt. When
the count was complete it was found that Parker
alone had pulled Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Misplaced Confidence.

The distinguished Samuel Hoar, father of the
present Senator of Massachusetts, once said to
a jury that the case was so perfectly plain that
he would not insult their intelligence by arguing
it. The jury returned in a few minutes with a
verdict against him, and when the astonished
lawyer asked the foreman how the jury could have
returned such a verdict, he received this an
swer:.
"The fact is, Square, we all agreed that if any
thing could be said for a case Square Hoar could
say it, and as you didn't say anything, we con-
cluded to render a verdict ag'in you."-Selected.

THE PRESERVING KETTLE FOR JULY.
Some Timely Hints for Housekeepers-General Direc-
lions for Canning.

Only fruits in prime condition-large ripe and
frm-are suitable for canning. The over ripe
and bruised or broken fruits, however, will make
the best of jams and marmalades, for fruit cannot
be too ripe for this purpose. LIE sugar is s~prinkled
over soft fruit a few hours before it is cooked
it's form will be better preserved. To keep berries
entirely whole place them in jars which have been
sterilized in hot water, pour a hot syrup over the
fruit and place the jars on a fruit rack in a wash
boiler containing cold water. After the water
is brought to a boil the fruit should be cooked
from five to twenty minutes according to the
variety.
Fruit keeps as well when cooked without sugar
s~when the sugar is added, and that intended for
pies is always best cooked without sugar.
Only a granite or porcelian-lined kettle should
be used for preserving and nothing but a wooden.
granite or silver spoon allowed to touch the fruit.
Rubber rings are useless a second year. The jars.
covers and rings should all be thoroughly cleansed
and sterilized by placing them in a pan of colo
water which is b brought gradually to a boil. They
should be kept in this hot water until just before
needed, and then only one at a time, removed and
filed. The size of the jars used depends upon the
number in the family. A quart of fruit serves
amply for eight people.
The fruit must. be stored in a dark place as the
light somewhat mpd1rS Tile udNOT dLu q 10 "
possibility that it also affects the keeping quail
ties. If the cans cannot be kept in a dark closet
or cellar, they may be wrapped in brown paper or
placed in a box and covered.
Cherry Preserves.-Allow a pound of sugar to
a pound of picked fruit. Select tart cherries, pit
and sprinkle one-half the sugar over them. Allow
the sugared cherries to stand an hour, then put
in the preserving kettle and boil for ten minutes
of+a- which skim ont the cherries. Add the rest
of the sugar to the syrup, boil, skim and add the
cherries. Boil for twenty minutes, pour into
heated glass jars and seal.
Cherries Canned Without Cooking-Wash and
nit tart cherries. Put three cupsful of the best
granulated sugar in a stone jar; place next a lay
or of the fruit, then another layer of the sugar
and so on until the jar is full. Cover the jar and
nIace It under heavy weights for several hours.
Separate the berries from the juice and boil the
latter. Place the cherries in jars, pour the boil
ing Juice over them and seal.

HEAVENS IN AUGUST.

The Scientific American publishes, in
its last issue, an article upon aThe
Heavens in August, {" which is very in.
teresting The first part is devoted to
the summer consultations. About the
planets it gives out the following infor-
nation: Mercury is the evening staF
throughout August and is visible in the
evening twilight for most of the month.
On the lst he is.close to the bri2nt ST n
Regulns. The two set at about 5 p. NJ,
SO they will not be easy to see. Venus
is also the morning star, Eat is still too
near the sun to be visible to the naked
eye. Mars is the morning star and rises
about two hours before the sun. Jupiter
will soon be conspicuous in the even
ing sky. He rises before ten O'Clock r.
NJ. on the 10th and is well observable
after midnight. Saturn is in opposition
on the 10th and is visible all night long.
He is better placed for observation than
he has been for several years, though
he is still a good way south of the
equator. His rings are more nearly
edgewise than in the last few years and
consequently appear narrower, so that
the ball of the planet projects conspic-
uously beyond them at each side.
Uranus is evening star in Sagittarius
de is not near any conspicuous star,
but if his place is plotted on star-map,
he can easily be found Neptune is
morning star in Gemini and rises at
about 2 A. NJ. New moon on the llth,
and full moon on the 25lh.

CONTRACTS SIGNED.

The city officials signed contracts
Thursday with the Wausau Electric
Co., the Blomkum Electric Co, and
Langstadt Il Meyer for a city lighting
plant. The former company is to fur
the current, the Blomkum company
will set the poles and do the wiring and
the Langstadt & Meyer company will
supply the lamps. U. ID. Simons,
electrician of the Grand Rapids Con-
solidated Water Power and Paper Co.,
represented the Wausau Electric Co.,
Henry Meyer. of Appleton, the Lang
stadt & Meyer Co., and Frank Blomkum
the Blomkum Electric Co, while Jacob
Cloos, of Milwaukee, a consulting
engineer, looked after 4he city's inter
ests. 1t was decided to place the
switchboard in the plant of the Wau-
sau Electric Co., instead of in the city
hall, as was first intended, and to build
a four circuit line instead of a three
The construction company already has
a great many poles delivered in the
city, and crew of men has begun the
work of setting them and it is expected
that within sixty days the line will be
completed.

HOME FROM CAMP.

Co. G returned home from Camp
Douglas Friday evening, after week
spent on the state reserve in going
through military maneuvers. The
work this year was more in the nature
of regular army camp life than any other
encampment ever held, which of course
made more work to perform, but the
boys liked the change. Since the mil
itia organizations have been made a
part of the standing army, by the
passage of the Dick bill, the govern.
ment's policy has been to raise the
standard aud efficiency of the former
and inculcate regular army methods
during state encampments. Last week
the Third regiment received the benefit
of lectures on different subjects per-
tanning to military matters, which
were delivered by officers of the reg
ular army, who were present. The
weather was pleasant all the time the
boys were in camp, and the new regu-
lation uniforms given them are much
cooler and better adapted than the old
oues. The Mauston company estab-
lished new state record in shooting,
and Wausau made the second highest
score, but as the Mauston boys had
more hits than shots fired, indicating
some irregularity. it is possible that
the Wausau boys are really entitled to
the honor of the highest score. Not
withstanding the good shooting made
by our boys as company, Sergt.
Braatz, of the regimental staff, was the
only Wausan mau who succeeded in
getting on the regimental rifle team.

IMPORTANT CASE.

A case entitled John O'Day and d. j.
Shea VS.. j. S. Stearns and Fred Her
rick, was heard in circuit court yester-
day before attorney g. ID. Jones as ref
cree. This case which involves thou
sands of dollars, was brought by plain
titfs to secure payment of damages
growing out of logging operations on
the Lac 6u Flambeau Indian reserva-
tion. The plaintiffs are logging jobbers
and were engaged in cutting off timber
from the Indians lands that had been
subject to allotment, when they were
interfered with by the defendants, thus
causing to them great pecuniary loss,
rs they claim. Stearns and Herriek are
the principal stockholders of the Flam-
beau Lumber CO., a corporation owning
saw mill and conducting numbering
operations on the reservation. Stearns
is a multi-millionaire, was formerly
secretary of state of Michigan and q
man of wide reputation in republican
politics Herrick is resident of Mil
/ waukee and also man OF great wealth
Two weeks have been consumed in
gathering testimony.

MASTODON'S TUSK.

Henry Coleman, of Minneapolis
brother of Niles and Frances Coleman
of Eagle River, passed through Wausau
few days ago enroute to the latter
town for Visit. He was travelling in
an automobile which he purchased in
Minneapolis shortly after his arrival
home from Klondike, where he has
spent several years in search for wealth
Stored in his automobile were several
curios which elected the attention of a
great many people who chanced to pass
the Bells House upon Mr.. Coleman's s
arrival in town, but the one that excited
the most interest was the tusk of a
mastodon or mammoth which the
owner secured in the far away land
of snow, ice and gold. 1t was sawed
from the skull of the animal ard had
the appearance of being hundreds Of
years old for it was decayed in several
places, and, as anyone knows, ivosy
will withstand the elements for great
many years, without any change in APP
pearance. 1t was about six feet in
length and the manner in which it was
secured is told in the following article,
taken from the Rhnelander New
North:
''The tusk of solid ivory was over six
feet in length, similar in shape to that
of an elephants and weighed about fif-
ty pounds. During one of his rambles
in the land of more cold than gold, Mr..
Coleman and party discovered the enor-
NOUS carcass of one of these pre- historic
monsters firmly imbedded in the snow.
With no small amount of labor on the
part of several men, the animals head
was partly uncovered allowing MIR.
Coleman with the assistance of an ordi-
nary meat saw, to sever one of the tusks.
The task was difficult one and re-
quired several hours of constant energy
combined with patience, but " hen com
pleted, proved a source of satisfaction
to the gentleman to know that he
possessed a rare natural relic, of which
kind there are but few in the country.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
Rapids House Sunday evening to in
spect the tusk, and for time many
doubted its genuineness, believing it
to be piece of petrifed wood A
mounted silver fox, an animal native
of Alaska, several fine species of
buffalo horns and numerous trinkets
gathered from the Indians, also con-
stituted interesting features of Mr..
Coleman's list of curios. We under
stand that he has presented the en-
tire collection to his brothers at Eagle
River"

STOCK EXHIBIT.

| otOCh
The exhibits of pure blood stock will
excel the great show of last year. A
feature will be the studs of Percheron
and Belgium drafters owned by II. HI
| Briggs of Elkhorn, the famous Wiscon
sin importer and breeder This exhibit
above should prove great drawing
card and will interest anyone engaged
in farming or numbering. The exhibit
will contain number of aged stal
lions, mares and colts of the two breeds
A special Arms palace horse car will
convey the exhibit The management
of the fair is to be commended for
getting en attraction of such educa.
tional value, instead of spending money
for some of the circus attractions
usually hired for fairs. 4
| A number of outside cattle, sheep
and hog breeders have already agreed
to exhibit. The secretary refused to
give out the names at this time but
there must be something doing as he
is urging the directors to build another
barn
Ia EXPERT JUDGES.
| Another feature peculiar to the
! Marathon county fair is the array of
expert judges. No other fair in the
state secures judges of such calibre as
ours and no expense is spared to get
the very best. The stock judges are
Joseph E. Wing of Mechanicsburg,
Ohio; an authority of world wide repu-
tation in live stock matters, associated
with him are Prof. c. Humphreys, head
of animal husbandry department at our
state college, and Prof A. s. Alexander,
head of veterinary surgery depart
ment at the Madison college and
veterinary editor of the Breeders
Gazette. Prof. E. Harrington, head of
our state dairy school, and now in
charge of the dairy herd tests at the
Worlds Fair, will come from st. Louis
to judge dairy products and advise our
farmers and dairymen on dairy matters
Prof K. p Sandsten of Madison and A..
j. Phillips of West Salem, long in
charge of our trial orchard, will Judge
farm products and fruit.
THE LADIES NOT FORGOTTEN.
A happy thought which came into the
head of j. w. Bruce, Sec'y of the
Lincoln county fair, is responsible for a
new departure in judging the work of
the women and children. He proposed
that Lincoln county ladies should Judge
the ladies departments at the Marathon
county fair and our LADIES' do similar
work at the Lincoln county fair. So
six ladies from each county will ex-
change in doing the work. This
reciprocity will help maintain the
neighborly feeling existing be-
tween the two counties and will stimu-
late the ladies to make the ex-
hibits credit TO both counties.
To encourage good exhibits in the
domestic departments the directors of
our fair will put in large upright glass
cases running the full length of the
center of the main building and facing
both ways, to display and protect the
ladies' needle work So much for the
work of the fair managers, now let
every man, woman and child in Mara
thon county do their part. Get busy
and help keep the Marathon county
fair at the head. Remember the Mara
thon county motto, used by Dumas
lmusketeers zone for all, all for one.'
