Old Mr.. Dinwiddie MISSING,

Charles Watson reports W. c. Din
widdie missing and has not been seen
for about three weeks. About three
weeks ago Mr. Watson called at Mr.
Dinwiddie's cabin and finding no one
there and his rifle being missing, he
supposed he was out hunting. He called
at his cabin last Sunday and found
him still missing and no signs of his
having been there since his last visit
to the cabin.-Boise Statesman.

MAJOR GENERAL AINSWORTH
GIVES REASON FOR so MANY
ARMY DESERTIoNS.
Declares People Must Realize That
Professional Fighters Are Neoes-
sary to Preserve Nation.

Maj.Gen. F. G. Ainsworth, the mill
itary secretary, in his annual report,
devotes much attention to desertions
from the army. He also says those who
know how the canteen came to be
abolished are not hopeful of it's resto-
ration; there is no likelihood Of any
such increase in the soldiers pay as
will offset the greater inducement Of
fered in civil pursuits; the comforts
and even luxuries that are furnished
to enlisted men in our service are even
now criticised by some as being not
only extravagant, but injurious in
their effect on men whose real business
it is to march and fight encountered
with few comforts and no luxuries and
the discipline and instruction to which
the soldier is now subjected are not
likely to be relaxed in future.
Our people," he says, have little
real interest in the army in time of
peace and from the earliest day of the
republic have been accustomed to look
upon it as a more or less unnecessary
institution. Enlistment in the army in
time of peace is not uncommonly re-
garded as evidence of worthlessness
on the part of the recruit.
Blames Public Sentiment.
&c, hot
from the army will continue to be
excessive until there shall have been
q radical change of public sentiment
toward the army and until the deser
ter shall come to be regarded as the
criminal that he is, to be ostracised
and hunted down as relentlessly as any
other transgressor of the laws. There
is no reason to look for such a change
of sentiment in the near future and
there are some who believe that the
change will never come until our peo-
pie shall have learned true national
disaster and humiliation; that the eff
fective maintenance of an army of pro-
fessional soldiers is absolutely essen
tial to the preservation Of the ma
tional honor and life, and that the
trained and disciplined troops of a
modern enemy cannot be withstood by
hastily organized armies of unframed
Or half trained civilians"

WILL NOT PAY POSTAGE.
Wisconsin's Free Rural Delivery Is
Defined.

MARSHFTELD, Wis, Nov. las the
result of correspondence between r.
3. Williams, editor of the Marshfield
Times, and Edwin c. Maiden, third as
has been handed down by the latter
which means much to many news
paper publishers.
According to Mr.. Williams interpre-
tation of the postal laws he could find
no reason why a publisher should be
charged postage on mail delivered in
side the county by rural free delivery
carriers, a practice that has been in
vogue in the Marshfield postoffice since
the free rural delivery system was
begun. The question was the cause of
much argument with the result that
the opinions and practice of post
masters at Wausau and other cities
were asked for. There were
found to be in keeping with the prac-
tice in vogue in the Marshfield office.
Not content with this, Williams then
directed a letter to Mr.. Madden and
his answer will no doubt put to rest
any further controversy On the matter.
It means a big savingto publishers
who have been subjected to like condi-
tons. The letter is as follows:
Reply from Washington.

nication Of the 9th ult., you are in

before mentioned, the generosity of her

is hoped that the people will come in
time, and in short time, to appreciate
the fact that better salaries would be a
long step toward greater professional
skill Then could instructors be
secured of sufficient age to possess not

reason sufficient to apply that knowl-
edge.

THANKSGIVING,

Thanksgiving was observed in Wau-
sau this year IN about the usual way.
There were dinner parties throughout
the city, family reunions, ETC., and the
only thing regretted was that there was
not enough snow to make good sleigh
ing. AT the county asylum over 100
inmates were treated to dinner that
would make the boarder at the average
hotel turn green with envy. At the
poor farm about thirty men and women
who have been defeated in this lifes
battle for riches partook of a dinner
not often enjoyed by their more forUu-
nate brothers and sisters and they were
thankful that this republic takes care
of its poor. In the evening the English
churches of the city held union services
at the Universalist church. There was
a short sermon by Rev. S. N Wilson,
of the Presbyterian church and there
was special vocal and instrumental
music for the OCCASION A thank offer
ing resulted in about S18 being collect
ed for the poor of the city.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BEGUN.

1t is difficult for the people of our city
to realize that Christmas will be here
in less than four weeks. The delight
full weather and the lateness of Thanks
givin day have made the season appear
deceptively early.
But the local newspaper advertising
columns and shop windows evidence
the subject which is undeniable, and
that portion of the feminine half of
creation is busy, which sticks to the
pleasant notion that those Christmas
gifts are most appreciated which con-
stitute the handiwork of wives.
The shoppers are busy, too, and they
show excellent judgment In taking adj
vantage of the fine weather and of the
better opportunity for deliberation in
the selection of their purchases than the
rush and scramble of the final fortnight
of holiday buying will afford.
