not only satisfying its thirst, but isi
filing up its eistern as well. One
after another the cells in it's stomach
are filed with water, and as soon as
each is quite full it is tightly closed
Then when the animal becomes
thirsty, few hours later. all that it
has to do is to open one of the cells;
and allow the water TO flow out. Next,
day it opens one or TWO more cells,
and SO it goes on day after day until
the whole supply is exhausted. In this
curious way a camel can live five or
even six days without drinking at ALL
and so is able to travel easily through
the desert, where the wells are often
hundreds of miles apart.

THE WATCH AS A COMPASS

"MoSt men who own a good watch, -
said jeweler, ''think they know all
about it. They have the number
fixed in their memory in case it is
stolen. They could probably pick it
out from so other watches with their
eyes shut. But how many men do
know that it is compass and will tell
north from south as accurately as it
will tell the time of day? Stanley,
the explorer, did not know it until
he had groped his way through the
dark continent and met a Belgian
sailor on the coast. Every watch is a
compass. If you point the hour
hand at the sun, the south is exactly
between the hour and the figure XII
on the dial. Suppose for instance, it
is four O'Clock. Point the hand in
dicating four to the sun and IL on the
watch is exactly south. If it is eight
O'Clock, point the hand indicating
eight to the sun and the figure X on
the dial is due south. No man need
get lost if he carries a watch. .''-Ex.

WANTED SOME CLOTHES

One morning of last week, one OF
the business men in this city made
the discovery that the girl Who was
employed in bis home as a domestic,
was missing, together with about $50
which had been in some clothes of
his, hanging up in another room than
the one he occupied. With an officer
from the city, he went to the home of
the girl in the country near here, and
after giving her to understand that
her connection with the missing
money was understood, she produced
the money. She gave as reason for
taking it that she wanted some better
clothes, and could not wait till her
pay would allow her to get them.
Since newspaper account of such an
affair often aids in a start to worse
things through branding the victim
of the affair, the names of the
parties interested are with held.

VOLUME 4S, NUMBER
WALSH LIVED NEAR HERE

James A. Walsh who appeared
before the coroner at Appleton,
Wednesday, to tell what he knows
about the death of his wife last week,
was at one time a resident of Wood
county. He at one time attended the
public schools OF Grand Rapids. his
home being in Rudolph, about three
miles from here. Walsh and his wife
were alone in their room at Crandon
one evening last week, and Mrs.
Walsh was shot. As husband and
wife were on the best terms, and
there was never at any time, so far as
anyone knows any reason for trouble
between them, it was thought that
the shot was accidental. But on the
other hand, she was good shot with
a revolver, had no motive for suicide,
and as she knows how to handle the
weapon, the accident and suicide
theory is also discarded. The truth
is expected to be revealed at the
inquest.

COZ FINE FISH

Clerk of the Court Bert Bever and
his brother Martin, who was visiting
here from Bruce went fishing on the
Consolidated pend Wednesday after.
noon and just as they were about to
pull up for home, the clerk of the
court got ''pull'' and succeeded in
landing fine pike. The fish was
twenty nine inches long and weighed
eight pounds. This is monster for
this kind of fish, the average wall
eyed pike weighing about two pounds.
Bert said it did not make the fight
one would expect from SO big fish,
but at that, it kept him busy for a
time landing it. 1t was brought
down town, weighed, measured aud
photographed, and was on exhibition
in the show window of the Wood
County Drug company's pharmacy in
the evening. Bert has been kept
busy ever since describing each
particular move made in landing it..
1t was not generally believed that
there were fish of this size, or in fact
any good fish above the dam, but a
number are being caught, and this
belief is fast disappearing.

HYDROPHOBIA COMMON

There seems to have been a sort of
epidemic of hydrophobia in dogs in
the tt wn Of Seneca the latter part of
this summer. There have more than
a dozen dogs gone mad in that town
since the first of July, and most of
the farmers are keeping their animals
chained up TO keep them out of
danger. One dog is the cause of it
all. He bit number of CANNES in
the town and instead of killing those
bitten. the farmers tied them up till
they were all right again, and then
let them go, with the result that
there are large number that are
liable TO Develop the disease, if they
have not had it already. This is a
very careless way of handling this
infection, and farmers should abandon
it, and kill every dog that is infected
with hydrophobia. Hunters who are
planning on hunt into Seneca
would do well to watch their dogs,
that they do not become infected with
the disease.

the third floor, and the first use of the
hall in this block will be on Tuesday

SENTENCED THIS WEEK

On Tuesday of this week, Judge
Webb sentenced Clarence Collins to
two years in the state prison at
Waupun after he had pleaded guilty
before the Judge to having stolen a
horse. The animal was the property
of Alonzo Meyer in Stevens Point.
Collins took the horse, rode it to near
New London, traded saddle he had
stolen at the time of taking the
horse for buggy, and was caught
soon after
When taken before the Judge at
first, he pleaded not guilty, but soon
after changed his mind, and pleaded
guilty. He was accordingly sentenced
to two years in Waupun by the judge,
and he was taken there this week.
The theft occurred about two weeks
ago.

JAIL BREAKERS
ESCAPE COMPLETE

Since John Macpherson dug his way
out of the county Jail here no de-
Unite information as to his where
abOutS has been received by the
sheriff. Reports of his having been
in Marshfield and at his home in the
town of Richteld haye come in, but
upon examination into The facts, they
were found to be worthy OF little
credence. 1t is now probable that
the fellow will get away, and the
county officials feel that it is as well,
for the county is ahead in board, and
if he was caught now, he could not be
properly punished, as the new law
enacted at the last meeting of the
state legislature, (Chapter 13O, laws
of 1905) declares that in such a case
the Jail breaker be given only six
months in the county Jail as a
punishment.
This would give Macpherson just
one year to serve in the Jail here,
punishment not sufficient for such
crime. Not only for Jail delivery, but
for that misdemeapor for which he
was sent to the jail. his punishment
would be too light. AS punishment
for beating his wife, sound horse
whipping would do more good than
any Jail sentence could. 1t being
that if he was caught his punishment
would be too light, the sheriff's
Office feels that the county is better
rid of him than to turn him out
among the good people of the county
again after a year in the Jail.

NEW FIRE BELL HERE
Placed on West Side Fire Conn
pany'S Hose House This
Week.

The new fire bell ordered by the
city council some time ago arrived
and was placed in position on the
west side fire company's hose house
the first part of the week. The bell
is large one, weighing nearly 500
pounds, has clear tone, and will be
heard all over the west side and the
east as well, when it is USED to call
out the fire company.
1t is more then two months ago
that the council decided that a new
bell should be purchased to replace
the old one which was broken and
could not be heard more than two or
three blocks away from the building
over which it was suspended George
Hill, Frank Steib, and A. +. Billmyre
were named on a committee to pur-
chase bell, and after looking over
and testing number, purchased the
one recently mounted oyer the west
side hose house. 1t cost the CITY
nearly $50, but will be worth a hun
dred times that at the first big fire on
that side of the river. Workmen
placed the new bell in position Tues
day afternoon, and the council men,
bers were called together by it on
Tuesday night, the first time it was
used Firemen on the west side, and
those to whom it is of interest to
know when fire breaks out and
where, will appreciate the superiority
of the new fire signal over the broken
one that was used for a long time.
