BIRDS ARE SCARCE.

Turkey dinners this year promise to
be even more expensive luxury than
they were last Thanksgiving The an
nual turkey day, is but short way off
and already the poultry dealers are
planning on meeting the annual de-
mand. But they find that the popular
bird will be a high priced article.
Everything points to their being as
high if not higher than they were last
year.
The supply will not only be short but
what turkeys there will be on the mar
ket will not be large, in fact they will
be the smallest, on the average, that
they have been in years. The heavy
rains and the continued wet weather of
the spring killed off the young turkeys
almost as fast as they were Matched,
but later, as the season became more
favorable, the young stock commenced
to thrive and get along nicely. But the
big damage was done early and the sup
ply for the year was greatly cut down.
The late birds have not had sufficient
time to mature the way they should,
therefore will be underslzed. Some of
the dealers are starting to buy their
supply already.

ECHO OF A MYSTERY.

A case, the peculiar nature of which
is not often heard of, came up for hear
ing in the United States land Office in
this city Friday. 1t was entitled La
plante VS.. McGregor. Some years ago
Duncan McGregor entered a tract OF
land in Marinette county under the
homestead act and resided on it dntil
last July. On the 4th day of July OF
the present year Nc cGregor mysteriously
disappeared from his hoine and has
never since been seen. Not even
clue has been found and though a
most diligent search has been made by
relatives and detectives no trace OF him
can be found. He was a wealthy lum-
herman and the day before his dis
appearances it is said, drew a large
sum of money from the bank with
which to buy some timber lands he
had been negotiating for, and it is sup
posed he was waylaid, murdered and
MS body effectually concealed.
After his disappearance, one, Edward
N. Laplanto contested the entry and
testimony was taken before the Mari
nette county clerk of the court, who by
the way has also disappeared, though
his disappearance has no connection
with the case. The defense had to ac-
count for Mr.. McGregor's absence and
relative, VIM. Ellis, went on the
stand and told of his disappearance and
the efforts made to find him. The
plaintiff tried to show that McGregor
voted in the city of Peshtigo in 1904
when he was supposed to. be residing in
another town on his homestead; also
that he owned 800 acres of land. The
defense witnesses simply gave testi-
mony to show that he had entered the
homestead, built house on it and re-
sided on 1t the proper time required by
law.
The action was started against the
defendant as live man, as there was
nothing in evidence to show that he
was dead or that his relatives or friends
accepted the theory of his death.
Everything was carried on as though
the man was alive and simply was un-
able to attend the trial. The officers of
the local land office found some illegal
practice and irregularities in the case
and sent it back for revision. The
plaintiff has thirty days in which to
proceed under corrections and it will
again be referred to the Wausau land
office, provided the contestant cares to
carry it any further. The taking away
of a homestead from a man is of as
serious nature as taking away the
home that shelters him, and must be
proceeded with carefully.
The disappearance of McGregor, who
had carried on business in Marinette
and vicinity for years, has caused no
end of excitement in that locality His
financial dealings were all straight and
he had no troubles, domestic or other
wise, to cause him to leave home He
was contemplating more extensive
operations and was in position
financially to carry them out, so that
the theory that he was murdered for
the money on his person and buried or
sunk in the river, is generally accepted.

MUST BE HUNGRY.

From experience we know that the
trials and tribulations of a country
editor are sometimes enough to prompt
him to take dose of aconite and end
his earthly career, and sometimes one
does so. Other business men sometimes
have their pockets mended where
money has worn holes through, but that
is one of the difficulties that never
bothers an editor. He's lucky if he
has the pockets. He often goes to bed
to sleep on cracker and cheese
supper and wakes up in the morning
to begin another days campaign
against the merciless delinquent sub
scriber who persists in carrying the
editors money around in his pockets
The editor, though, is an appreciative
soul and, like an Indian, he remembers
good turn" to his dying day But
below we reprint an item taken from
one of our exchanges, the last sentence
of which shocks us. There is a code of
honor and code of ethics established
among newspapers, which can not be
violated without bringing the violator
into shame among his brethren. One
of these is never to give any free
advertising, except to churches. No
matter if an editor is so starved that
his ribs rub together, and he is given a
square" by John Smith, the merchant
he should not in gratitude advertise
John Smiths wares unless he is paid
for the space, for his space is his bread
and butter, or more properly speaking,
his oatmeal and crackers. Here is the
item which was published last week in
a paper not over thousand miles from
Wausau
"While in Rib Falls Thursday we saw
the incest lot of fish at Jos Lochman's
that our eyes have seen for many day
and had nice mess given us. Joe GER
talnly intends 10 satisfy the wants of
his customers. If anyone wants bar
gain IN shingles, they can get a good
one by calling on Jos. Lochman at Rib
Falls"
Think of It'll A newspaper man bribed
with paltry string of fish, and We'll
bet our old weather beaten hat that
they were suckers at that. The above
three lines of advertising would have
brought any paper the fabulous sum of
15c. This mans taste running to fish
he could have bought sc can of mus
tard sardines and had 10c left to rattle
in the inner recesses of his clothes. Or
he could invest the remaining Zoe in
pickles and pretzels and had a three
course dinner, which would swell out
his hickory shirt. If he used judgment
and economy in making his purchases
he might also get bit of brick cheese
and few Mary AIMS thrown in, and
then he could invite a few friends to
sup with him. At all events he did
not practice wisdom.

SAW GREAT WEALTH.

The death of Mrs. yes-Chynoweth
recently at her home near San Jose.
Cal brings back to the minds of many
Wausau people an incident of the early
mining days on the Gogebic range.
Madam Hayes, as she was then known,
was credited with being possessed of
occult powers, and these she used to
the financial advantage of her two sons
in tieir' mothers superhuman vision.
The big Ashland iron mine was opened
by j. o. and f. A. Hayes in an early
day and was later leased to a com any,
which worked it for a number of years
until the ore was apparently exhausted,
when the property reverted back to
Hayes brothers. The mother then
lived in her far away California home,
and to her the underground openings
were minutely described by the SOUS,
and she indicated the location of large
ore bodies remaining untouched with
such exactitude that anyone familiar
with the mine would know where to
look for them.
Acting upon their mothers instruc-
tions the Hayes brothers the next
spring re-opened the mine. The
mothers supposedly inspired prognos-
ticatiOn's became known and the sons
were the subjects of all kinds of ridicule,
but when strike after strike of ore had
been made the scoffers became silent.
In every case the ore was found where
the mother of the owners had told them
to look for it. In the first twelve
months 10000 tons of high grade ore
was removed from the mine and few
years later the output had doubled.
The mine was later sold by the soEs to
a Cleveland syndicate for S4,000000
and it is estimated that as many tons
of ore have been mined since, with
enough ore in sight to last for several
decades. The name of Mrs. Hayes
was quite familiar in this section at the
time of the rich ore strikes. She was a
cousin of the late President Rutherford
b. Hayes. Her son E. A Hayes, is
representing his California district in
congress.

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS

The conditions in Russia seem to
be no better. New outbreaks are
continually reported. 1t seemed by
newspaper reports the fore part OF
the week that the revolutionists in
Moscow had been routed and com.
pletely cowed. Later reports, how
ever, indicate that they are only re.
cuperating and gathering strength
for renewed efforts. The slaughter
there has been fearful. The insur-
gents poorly armed and undis-
ciplined were moved down by the
hundred by the merciless fire from
the. machine guns. The soldlery
became incensed at the constaat
bomb throwing and slaughtered
them without mercy. ,l.
In all the principal cities of the
empire riots and destruction of
property continue. The loss of life
is appalling. In the country dis
tricts and smaller towns the insur-
g.Ais arc in complete control and
are rapidly arming themselves and
Organizing for war in its vsFst form.
