LIGHTNlNG-FIRE DAMAGE.

st. James Catholic church was struck
by lightning Saturday at midnight, set
on fire and damaged to considerable
extent The bolt struck the erosion
the pinnacle Of the steeple and ranged
downward. Soon flames were discoy-
cred shooting forth from the open work
and the fire department was called out.
When the flames had been subdued a
large part of the woodwork of the
steeple had been burned off and many
of the rafters of the roof were so dam
aged that the roof must be repaired.
Of course the lower part of the church
suffered from water, but not so bad as
was at first supposed. 1t is feared,
however, that the plastering has been
loosened. Altogether the loss will
probably foot up to $1,000, which was
fully covered by insurance. Services
will continue to be held in the edifice
until repairs are made The steeple
will be rebuilt at once, though it is quite
likely that the new one will not oe so
high as the one destroyed. The mem
bers of the congregation feel fortunate
in the fact that the fire was discovered
before it had time to eat its way into
the interior of the auditorium, or the
damage would have been so great as to
cause suspension of services for time
The force working on the addition at
the rear has been increased and it is
expected to have the building complete
bV December 1st.

LAND CONTRACTED FOR.

The Wausau Canning Co. has made
contracts with farmers for lands on
which ITO raise the pea crop of 1906.
The company has already secured ap-
proximately 700 acres, but the acreage
eventually contracted for will perhaps
run up close to 1000 acres, which is a
far larger area than was sown to peas
during 1905. The lands engaged
lie mostly in the towns of Maine, Texas,
Wausau and Easton. The company
has viners installed in the town of Eas-
ton, so as to reduce the bulk of the
loads hauled to the cannery, the peas
being shelled where the viners are
located The past year was very sue
cessful one for the company, though
one difficulty was experienced, which
was, that too many peas podded at the
some time and threatened to ripen be-
fore they could be handled, but that
difficulty will be overcome next year
by more attention being given to distri-
button of seed sowing PERIODS. A large
part of this seasons crop is still in the
cannery, packed in cans, butunlabelled.
The work of labelling is going on as fast
as possible and the peas will be shipped
TO dealers as soon as ready for packing
in crates.

ANOTHER MYST ERY.

A short time ago Sheriff Damon re-
ceived a letter from Fond du Lac ask
ing for information regarding John
Resch who had not been heard from for
two years. The young man had been
working in this locality when last heard
from and it was thought the sheriff
might know something of him. 1t ap-
pears now that young man of that
name mysteriously disappeared from a
farm near Athens about two years ago
and no trace of him has ever been
found. 1t will be remembered that
some months ago woman, while out
in the woods near that village, looking
for her cows, was frightened by what
she declares were the bones and grin
ming skull of human being She was
so frightened at the time that she could
not tell the location where she made
the discovery, and though searching
parties have since secured the woods
in that vicinity they have been unable
to find the skeleton. AT that time the
story of the woman's discovery was
connected with that of the disappear
ance of young Resch. 1t is possible
that further efforts will be made to find
the bones, though a search is i'm
practical at this season of the year,
when the ground is covered with fallen
leaves. The missing boys father, c..
Resch, is a butcher living in Fond du

LIFE'S EFFORTS WASTED.

The people of Rhinelander who suf-
fered no losses in the recent fire, have
contributed generously to their needy
bretheren who lost their homes and
furniture in the recent disastrous fire
and everything is being done to make
their lot as comfortable as possible.
Besides the money contributions, the
good women of that city have set to
work making quilts, clothing and other
things needed by the families of the fire
sufferers. Much of the debris has been
cleared away and preparations are be-
ing made for erecting new homes and
starting the mills in operation.
The homes destroyed were mostly
those of laboring men and many la
mentable features of their situation are
presented. They had worked hard for
years, denying themselves and families
luxures and many necessities that they
might some day call their homes their
own. Few had their houses all paid
for and some, after working twenty
years accumulating a fund for building
had, just previous to the fire,
paid the last cent of Indebtedness on
their buildings, only to see their life's
efforts all wasted in smoke. The COM
ing winter will present difficulties to
many of them.

The EXPERIENCE OF ONE OF
OUR CITIZENS.

That the thorough scholar who has
mastered the science of medicine and
surgery establishes his reputation for
marvellous skill and ability to success
fully treat and cure chronic diseases, by
the testimonials from grateful patients
who have been afforded relief and cure
through his treatment, is proved in the
case of DR.. l.. M Turbin, the special
ist of Chicago, in whom the people of
this community have the utmost con
fidence.
An example of the high regard our
friends have for DIR. Turbin's skill is
found in the following letter Mr.. Fred
Droster, of Madison, Wis, says, "For
years | was nervous wreck, broken
down from over-work, had chronic
stomach trouble, and no doctor l con-
suited seemed to help me much. Life
was burden to me, and had about
given up hope of ever being well again,
when friend who had been benefited
by DR.. Turbin's treatment persuaded
me to consult him. After a month
treatment | felt much better, the ner-
vous headaches, dull pains in stomach,
and nausea not being so severe and
from that on improved rapidly, until
now | am entirely free from pain and
am well in every way. l am glad to
to testify TO Dr. Turbin's ability to cure
chronic cases like mine, and wish those
who suffer as | did would consult him. -
DIR. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day, Oct. oath at the Bells Hotel.

HONOR FITLY BESTOWED.

E. G. Zimmerman and w. N Allen
returned home Thursday evening from
Mineral Point, where they had been at
tending the session of the Grand En-
campment and Patriarchs Militant.
They report a very pleasant and well
attended meeting and that all visitors
were well entertained byOtheir Mineral
Point brethren. Mr. Zimmerman, who
retired from the office of Grand Patri-
arch, which he held for the past year,
was unanimously elected as Grand Rep
resentative of the Wisconsin body to
the Grand Lodge of the World, which
will be held in Toronto, Can, next
year. He was also presented with a
Grand Patriarch's collar and jewel by
the Grand Lodge. The next Grand
Lodge meeting of Wisconsin will be
held in Oconto.
Mineral Point has the distinction of
having the oldest Odd Fellows lodge in
the state. 1t is Iowa lodge No. 1. The
corner stone of the first hall was laid
by Father Wilde in 1888, and is still
preserved as a memento of the intro
duction of Odd Fellowship into the

NOT WHAT HE ANTICIPATED.

There was a case in court Sat
urday morning in which the bitter
got bitten. Chas. Kuehl, who resides
on the west side, caused the arrest of
his oldest daughter on an assault and
battery charge, but when the evidence
was heard, he was fined $50 and
the girl was discharged. Mr.. Kuehl is
at present enjoying the quietude and
warmth of one of the steel rooms in the
county Jail, where he will remain
month. 1t appears that on Thursday
Kuehl got drunk and drove his family
out of the house and the members were
forced to sleep in the barn over night.
Friday he repeated the first act, but his
wife and oldest daughter saw him COM
ing home and hid in the barn to avoid
meeting him. He later found them
and assaulted both, but the daughter
turned on him and dealt him a blow
over the eye, with a club, which cut
the flesh and caused the claret to
tricklo down his cheek. The shock was
sudden. 1t was not what he had antici-
pated. 1t jolted his nerves to be SO
roughly dealt with by a frail woman,
and so he "hiked" over town and swore
out warrant for his daughters arrest.
The climax, the neighbors say, was a
just rebuke and will give his family
encouragement to ''go AFTER him in
the future, when he is loaded for bear
and looking for trouble.

TOOK FIRST PRIZE.

Mrs. l.. S. Cohn came up from Gran
moor on Friday and remained in Wau-
sau until Monday Mrs. Cohn is the
owner of very fine cranberry marsh
at CranmoOr where she goes each sea-
son to look after the same. Last year
the cranberry growers of the United
States were induced to send to the
Worlds fair at St. Louis a certain
amount of their berries in competition,
that it might be determined where the
best were grown. Mrs. Cohn sent
down liberal amount from her marsh
but nothing was heard as to the out
come of the competition until few
days ago when Mrs. Cohn received a
word that her cranberries had taken
first place, and that she had been
awarded diploma and bronze medal
The diploma accompanied the letter
but the bronze medal will be sent
later, when it is completed Mrs Cohn
feels very proud over the result of the
competition. Truly Wood is a great
county. 1t carried off the first prize at
the state fair and now comes the
honor of the finest cranberries in the
world being grown within its borders.

FIND IT PROFITABLE.

The parties who last spring brought
about 5000 sheep through here from a
ranch in Montana and put them out to
pasture on cut-over land around Har-

and a nice little sum of money was
obtained from the sale of the wool
During the summer the drove increased
to about 5000 in numbers and as NUT
ton prices are higher now than for
some time. the owners of the sheep
will reap large profit. The raising of
sheep in Wisconsin is 40 longer an ex-

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.

Al interesting and instructive dem
onstration of tuberculosis in cattle was
given at the Wisconsin State fair park,
recently, under the auspices of the State
Board of Agriculture. Five COWS were
secured for the demonstration and the
post mortem examinations were conduct
ed by Dr. E. d. Roberts.
The fifth cow, which was killed for
the Gest, was a family cow and her milk
was being consumed by the family, in
which there were small children.
The COW had slight cough and was
loosing rather than gaining flesh on
good feed. This aroused the suspic-
ion of the owner, who called in a local
veterinarian and he pronounced her
healthy, with the exception of cough
which he said would disappear of itself
The cough, however, continued, and
the owner becoming more alarmed on
account of the milk being fed to the
baby, determined to take no further
chances. He called in cattle spec
ialiSt, who, without tuberculin test,
pronounced the COW diseased and
tuberculous, and condemned her milk
for human use.
SACRIFICED Cow FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT.
The owner of this COW, upon learn
ing that the State Board of Agriculture
expected to make public demonstra-
ton at the Wisconsin State Fair, offered
to donate this animal for that purpose.
They accepted her and she was killed
and the post m0rtem showed she was
in the last stage of tuberculosis and was
the most diseased specimen of the five
that were slaughtered The inside of
her chest was completely covered with
tubercles and her lungs were one solid
mass of yellow, cheesy, mattery corrup-
ton which will long be remembered by
those who watched the test.
This one illustration may be the
means of saving the lives of many help
less babies.
tuberculosis is an infectious disease
and affects the glands of the body. 1t
is caused by germ. When this germ
enters the body, it begins to multiply
and then causes an irritation in the
tissue around it, this leads to the fOrma-
tion of the so-called tubercles and it
then receives the name of tuberculosis.
