BRAINS VS.. GALL.

A man entering store in his own
town-a small place-approached the
merchant and asked if he would ex-
change for him a garment he had
bought of mail order house in big
city for similar garment of another
size, says an exchange.
The merchant almost tainted at the
mans gall, but being an obliging
merchant he did not get angry He
asked the man why he did not return
the garment and have it exchanged.
The answer was that he would have to
return it at his own expense and might
not then get what he wanted. The
merchant looked sharply at the man to
see if he was joking, or if he didn't
really know any better, and seeing ii
was only the latter, he agreed to mike
the exchange. The man was profuse
in his thanks for the accommodation
Then the merchant, speaking to the
man gently but firmly said:
"My friend, you live in this eommu-
nifty. You own a farm that Cost oG
perhaps $15 or $40 an acre, and it is
now worth S75 or 800 an acre, and yet
the land is not as good as when you
bought it. 1t is worth more because it
is near a good town-to this town that
JOu IhN JOuI hohC hC1pOu
build up by patronage, and while you
were doing it you were unconscious of
doubling and trebling the value of
your farm. Deterioration of the town
would have injured the value of your
farm. If you buy goods in Chicago
you help to make Chicago larger city,
and leave to other people burden of
making your community, your home,
your land, increase in value. If you
help to build up Chicago how much
will it increase the value of your farm ?
If you are short of cash and ask credit
of the stores here, and you get it, it is
favor to you. If you buy anything
at the stores here you can exchange it
or get your money back. In many
ways you are under obligation to this
town and the merchants here to trade
with them, and yet you have sent your
money to this mail order house to get
what you want and have not got il
after all And you are hurting the
value of your own farm when you hurt
this town.

WILL PREACH IN THE EAST.

The following is taken from the Post.
lntelligencer, of Seattle, Wash, and re.
lates to minister of the gospel who
formerly was pastor of the M. E.
church of this city, viz:
Rev. Fletcher l.. Wharton, pastor o.
the First Methodist church, will leave
for Wheeling, w. Va, to accept a call
from that city, and will be succeeded in
this city by Rev. Combie Smith, OF
Omaha, Neb., according to a special
telegram to the Post-Intelligencer from
Omaha
REV. Mr.. Wharton refuses to either
confirm or deny the truth of the
telegram, other than to say that he is
not yet ready to give out a statement
for publication. He admits that the
information in regard to his leaving
for the East is founded on fact and that
the Rev. Combie Smith will start for
this city very shortely to succeed him
"Dr. Wharton, who is one of the best
known divines in the city, has been
here about two years"

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

JOS. Autritt, town of Easton farmer,
suffered injuries Wednesday while in
the city, as the result of a runaway
accident. His team ran away on Forest
street and he was dumped out and sus.
tanned severe scalp wound and other
bruises. He was rende"ed unconscious
for time.
The JOhnson-We Wentworth, Co. of
Cloquet, Mimi, has bought from G.. A.
Goodyear, of Tomah, 1000 acres of
timber land in st. Louis county, Mimi,
for 81, 100000. The tract contains 25,-
600, 600 feet of pine, which means a ten
years cut. The company will extend
it's railroad to this tract and ship the
logs 100 miles to it's mills.
The fair and supper of St. James
church closed Wednesday evening with
a dance in Mercer's hall. During the
two days the fair was in progress the
ladies' society of the church, which
planned and directed it, realized a
snug, sum OF money in the sale of fancy
articles sold in the different booths and
by the disposal of supper and dance
tickets. A musical program, in which
some of the citys leading musical
talent took part, was one of the pleas
The Wausau Lumber company which
has been operating a saw mill for
quite number of years at Edgar, is at
work building a new mill at Rib Falls
In referance to it the Edgar Press says:
The Wausau Lumber company have
moved their bOrding house and sleeping
outfit out to Rib Falls where they now
have crew of fifty men on the site of
their new mill. The timbers have been
gotten out at Rib Falls and are now
ready for framing. The company
expects to put In mill that is in every
respect modern and up-to-date."
The county school boards convention,
held in the county school building in
this city last Tuesday was a very profit
able meeting and, it is thought, will
result in much good for the schools of
the county. 1t was the first meeting of
the kind under the new law passed last
winter and as such was well attended.
There were upwards of 800 district
school officers present, representing a
major portion of the districts. There
were few changes in the program as
published in our columns last week and
the talks and discussions were interest
ing, instructive and helpful to those for
whose beneht they were gwen.
1t is said that lumber companies of
Northern Wisconsin will this winter be
required to pay higher wages for their
labor than they have ever done before
The reason for this is the great scarcity
of laboring men in this section. Many
of the large companies which usually
operate full crew at this time are
doing business with only half their usual
force and some have been gathering up
''dagos' from the cities to fill out, but
the latter experiment has proved un-
successful. Vessel men of the lakes also
are distressed for vessel leaders. The
cause of the great scarcity of men, it is
said, is due to the fact that employment
agencies have been at work sending all
the men they car get hold of to the
western states, where the lumber in
dustry is rapidly developing and where
higher wages has an allurement for the
men. The result has been that the state
has practically lost all its experienced
lumber jacks

HIS OPINION.

The following, picked up on the
Humboldt school grounds, was handed
us last week by the party who found it
and is evidently an essay on girls,
written by some youngster who had
some ideas of his own:
Girls are the sisters of boys and has
long hare, wares dresses un' powder.
The furst girl was called Christmas Eve,
though | never cud see why. Most
every family has one girl and some of
'em that is in hard luck has two or
three. We have girl in ourn who is
my sister. Girls can grow older and
get younger. My sister has been
twenty for three years and some
day we may be twins Girls play
pianner and talk about each other. Fat
girls want to be thin and thin girls
want to be fat and all of 'em want to
marry doods. Why the lord made girls
nobody nos, but | think it were to 60 to
church and eat ice cream. They is
three kinds of girls, blond girls, brunei
girls and them that have money. Girls
is afraid of mice and bugs, which makes
1t fun to put them down their baks.n

ELAND JUNCTION BOOMING.

Eland Junction, which Is just across
the line in Shawano county, has had 4
steady growth for years. No one
thought that it would ever amount to
much, but now there is good and suffic-
lent evidence that it is going to be a
town of considerable Importance. 1t
is the junction where the Northwestern
railroad splits, one branch going north
to Ashland and the other going to Wau-
sau and other points. 1t has grown
now to 500 inhabitants. The North
western Railway Co. is at present en-
gagged lin building a road from Eland
junction to Green Bay, and this will
make 1t a distributing point for goods
going to points north and east to Green
Bay, south to Chicago, west to Merrill
Ian junction and to Rosholt-a short
line running southwest into the towns
of Norrie and Eldron. The company
has recently built nine-stall round
house, new and extensive coal sheds,
and has purchased land sufficient to ex-
tend its yard for half mile and to
widen it considerable.
W. III. Mylrea and John Lull, of this
city, have thirty acres of land in the
town which they are now having plat
ted into lots ; they were forced into
doing this because SO many wanted
sites on which to build homes. The
town will grow several hundred within
the next six months and will come
close TO reaching 1000 inhabitants be-

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL NOTES.

The first years students are at
present taking up the study of soil and
the second year pupils the subject of
plant life.
The grounds, which have given so
much trouble because of standing
water, are being tiled and it is hoped
that any kind of crop can be raised
next year.
Beginning at time near the holidays
the classes in animal husbandry will be
taken out to visit the different stock
farms of the county, for the purpose of
giving the students opportunities of
testing their knowledge of stock judg-
ing.
The students organized lyceum Fri
day afternoon and will present literary
programs at regular stated intervals
hereafter. Walter Paff and Miss Goldie
Short were chosen temporary president
and secretary respectively. Then the
members proceeded to the election of
permanent officers and Henry Gohdes
was selected as chairman and Miss
Marie Bentz as secretary. The election
OF sergeant-at-arms was left over to
the next meeting. The president was
authorized to appoint standing, execu-
constitution and bylaws previously
submitted were adopted. The next
regular meeting will be held Friday,
Nov. 10, at which time an interesting
program will be prepared and carried
out.
Messrs. Johns and Bonnel began a
series of meetings Saturday night ad-
vertising the school. The first meeting
N OF Ia Of
land, Geo. Koehler, clerk. On Friday
evening next meeting will be held in
Dist. No. 4, town of Cleveland, and on
Saturday night one in Joint Dist. No z,
town of Emmet The meetings will be
of about the same character as held the
past two years, both gentlemen explain
ing by word and stereopticon illustra-
ton, the work being done in the school.
In all about thirty of such meetings will
be held during the winter months, or
more than has ever before been held
during single winter.
The principal, Mr.. Johns, has in con-
temptation the Inauguration of the
study of forestry for the advanced
classes about Christmas time The
| school is in receipt of a number CT books
called the Forestry Primer, which is a
plain, well written treatise on the sub
ject. The study of forestry is one
which is fast coming into prominence
IN this country. Yale and Harvard
colleges have established chairs of
forestry and a school devoted to in
struction in this study exclusively has
been established in BiItmore, N. G..
As the timber is cleared from the
country and becomes scarcer and more
valuable, steps will be taken to re-
forest tracts cleared. The county
school has seed of all the native woods
growing, and Mr.. Johns sent down to
Ohio and secured quantity of waInuts
and hickory nuts, which also have been
planted. When these trees grow OF
sufficient size, they will be transplanted
on the schools grounds.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Ever since the adjourned term of cir
cult court convened two weeks ago, the
time until Thursday was taken up in
the examination of witnesses in the
Schuttenberg murder case. The at
torneys concluded their pleas on Thurs
day and that evening the case was Civ
en- to the jury. The jury, after being
out several hours, returned a verdict
acquitting the defendant, Aug. Schut-
tenberg, of the charge of murder.
Many were not surprised at the verdict,
for they believed there were extenuat
| ing circumstances connected with the
crime which warranted an acquittal.
On Thursday, special venire of fif-
| teen jurors was drawn.
After the Schuttenberg case had been
| disposed of the case of the State VS.. Ida
| Erdman was called, but as the COM
| planning witness was not in court, the
matter was dismissed.
| The two cases of the State vs. Caro-
| line Ohls were next called and upon the
| filing of a petition alleging prejudice a
change of venue was granted. The
cases are to be|tried in Green Bay. The
history of Mrs. Ohls' troubles is so well
known in the county that it would be
| difficult TO secure jury.
Saturday the case of the State VS.. Geo.
Haas was called and the defendant
entered plea of guilty. The original
charge against the man was murder,
but by stipulation of attorneys this was
changed to manslaughter in the first
degree. Haas, who was living in the
house OF Franz Pesnecker, of the town
of Stettin, killed the latter on The night
of July 6th last by disemboweling him,
the instrument used being a long
bladed knife The murder grew out of
an attempt by Pesnecker to protect
Haas wife, who at the time was being
abused by her husband. The mans
mind was infamed with liquor and he
was so enraged at Pesnecker's inter-
ference that he drew knife and COM
mitted the deed and then jumped
through a window and ran away, but
was later captured and locked up.
Haas is an Austrian, who has been in
this country but short time and can
talk no English. He has been in a
remorseful mood ever since he came to
a realization of the enormity of his act,
and has lost greatly in flesh. He was
given the maximum sentence under the
charge-ten years imprisonment.
After the Haas case had been disposed
of an adjournment was taken to Mon
day morning when civil cases were tax
en- up.

its way to Chicago markets. This was
the last of the herd which has been
pastured near Camp Ruth this summer
The sheep went by way of New Lis
bon, Portage, Madison, Milton, James
vile and Chicago. The train was
scheduled to stop at Edgerton, where
the sheep was unloaded for exercise
and feed
E. l.. Shepard, in whose charge the
sheep were placed, is so well pleased
with the sheep industry in Northern
Wisconsin, that he has no doubt but
that many more western sheep will be
brought here next summer for grazing

NO STATE TAX.

Last Tuesday afternoon the state
officers met and after mature delibera-
ton decided that it would be unneces-
sary to levy state tax this year, other
than the one mill school tax which is
collected and then paid back to the
counties in proportion to the number of
school children each has. The amount
of state tax remitted was 81, 125, 484, and
the amount that it will save the taxpay-
ers of Marathon county will be about
$4,000.

spANlARp's NERVES GAVE WAY.
Suffering Fuse Was Getting Too
Close to Dynamite"

When, some time ago, an American
and a Spanish officer quarreled fierce
ly over love affair and the choice Of
weapons fell to the American he ar
ranged the following method of set.
Ting their differences Two cases Of
dynamite were to be placed 100 yards
apart, and to each was to be attached
long fuse. Each rival was to take
his seat on one of the boxes, the fuses
we're to be lit simultaneously, and the
man who retained his seat the longer
was to be declared victor. At the
time appointed the duelists duly en-
throned themselves on their respec.
tive seats and the fuses we're lit. AS
the fire ran kissing along the fuse and
death came nearer and nearer the
Spanlard turned first pale and then
green with alarm, and, finally, unable
to bear the strain any longer, jumped
down and took to his heels. Mean
while his American rival maintained
his seat placidly, never moving a
muscle; and when his fuse had burn
ed itself out he calmly dismounted
and emptied and took away the cases,
which, as he well knew, were filed
with nothing more explosive than
sand.

Saved from Suicide by Bath.


A keeper at the county jail ip Jer.
sey City made the discovery few
days ago that Nicola Murdaco a con.
demned Italian murderer, was in need
of bath.
The tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, negro murderer who is
Tnder sentence to hang one week be-
fore the date set for Murdacos execu-
tion. Tapeley said he strenuously OBJ
iected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless the dago
had wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
bathtpJ, but refused. He said he
would die first, and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes off and wash
ed him Murdaco's yells wer. heard
in every part. of the Jail Three or
four men held him down while others
scrubbed him from head to foot.
Murdaco tried to kill himself the
other day by twisting and pulling his
tongue until II bled at'the roots. The
keepers believe the italian had an
idea that he could commit suicide by
allowing the pores of his skin to close
up, and fer that reason refused to
wash hir'self
