WORK RESUME ED.

wednesday morning work was re-
suned on the construction of the gov
ernment building. Hanson Bros fore
man, Theodore Langfeldt, arrived last
Tuesday and at once began hiring a
crew of wQrkmen. From Sl.75 to S4.OO
per day is paid, according to the class
of work performed. Eight hours is the
time allowed on any government work
and contractor working his men more
than that length of time can be reported
and prosecuted. A workman is fined
for working over time. The rule also
applies to sub-contracts such as paint
ing, plumbing. etc. At present the firm
which has contracted to do the plumb
ing, the Danielson Plumbing and Heat
ing Co., is at sea as to its contract. Ac-
cording to specifications the piping used
shall be of iron, while the city Ordin-
ances forbid the use of iron pipes. The
overseer, z. III. Lawler, has written in
to Washington for instructions in the
matter and expects an answer soon.
One carload of Bedford stone trimmings,
which was lost on the way during the
late snow storms, has arrived and was
unloaded Friday. One car of steel has
been lost on the way and up to date no
trace of it has been found. Pressed
brick for the outside walls is expected
soon and comes from the plant of the
Illinois Brick Co., Chicago. The same
firm manufactured the brick being used
for the interior walls, which is a more
durable brick than manufactured in
most plants in Wisconsin. Hanson
Bros, the contractors, complete the
building in every detail with the excep-
ton of the furnishings. The material
for the interior decorations will arrive
later. The foreman reports many ap-
plications from workmen for work but
only hires the best of labor. A man
who spends half his time lighting his
pipe does not hold his job long.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

Messrs. W. III. Mylrea and E. A.
Gooding have been spending the past
week in BiItmore, n c.. and vicinity on
business. The following is taken from
letter written at Brevard, N c., by
Mr.. Mylrea to the editor of this paper:
This is beautiful country. Some of
our good farmers would be surprised to
see how much they surpass the farmers
of this section. Oxen are common,
mostly driven by rope tied to the head
of each OK. Wheat and corn are the
chief products. Dairying is unknown.
They do not know what creamery or
cheese factory is, although the land is
well adapted.
This region is a great summer resort
for people from the South. 1t showed
this morning while Mr.. Gooding and |
were driving. in the mountains on the
Vanderbilt estate of Biltmore. This
estate consists of over 10000 acres,
mostly timber and mountain lands.
This village is county seat and is
only recently reached by railway
No saloons are permitted in the county
No book store or place where you
can buy SO much as a newspaper to
read. ] believe there is weekly news
paper published here by the name of
Hustler but like the boys hot pies
at the train, that is the name. The
druggist tells us they do not even sell
whiskey on a prescription or pat it up
as an Ingredient of medicine. We
asked our darkey driver what happened
if one were bitten by rattlesnake in
the mountain. Guess boss, he have to
die, sure, was the reply"

THIRTEEN CARS OF SHEEP.

On Wednesday afternoon last north
bound freight train over the st. Paul
carried thirteen cars of sheep. Seven
cars were what is known as double
deckers, kind seldom seen in this
section and used almost wholly FOR the
transportation of small domestic
animals. The other six were single
deck. The thirteen cars contained
about 5000 sheep consigned from a
point in Montana to Harshaw, where
they will Craze during the summer
moGtns on the cut-over lands of Alex
ander Stewart Lbr. Co. The herders
who came with them will live during
the summer in deserted logging
camps and give the animals what
little care they require and protect
them so far as possible from wolves
The lot was composed wholly of ewes,
which, with the lambs that will be born
during the early summer, will be fitted
for the Chicago market in the fall.
For the past several seasons Western
sheep raisers have tried sheep raising
on the wild lands of Wisconsin until it
is no longer an experiment. A year
ago about 5000 were summered in
Wood county. For two seasons past
large herds were pastured in Bayfield,
county. There are thousands of acres
of fine pasture lands in Northern Wis
consin, well watered, with plenty of
wild and tame grasses, that are well
adapted for sheep or cattle raising. 1t
is said that sheep pastured in Wiscon-
sin during the summer bring the owners
a better profit in the fall than those
which Craze on the mountain sides or
plains of the West. Besides the herds
are unmolested by cattle men and packs
of coyotes.

MURDERED INDIAN FOUND.

The body of Kickapoo Shopdoac, the
Indian murdered near Wittenburg, Aug.
IA, 1903, was found last week by tim
Der cruiser. Three Indians are now
confined in the Jail at Neenah charged
with the crime. Shopdoac had a short
time before his murder sold timber and
land for which he received 81, 500 and it
was to secure this money that he was
murdered by his companions. After
the murder the men who had killed him
got out of the country and ShOpdoac's
brother followed them through three
states, bent on vengence, but finally lost
track of them Last fall they came
back and one of the Indians, Blewsnake,
while drunk one day at Wittenberg,
made a confession which resulted in
the arrest of all of them. He claimed
they had shot Shopdoac in the back of
the head and then buried him under a
dugout. As the ground was covered
with snow the authorities made no ef
fort to find the remains until this spring
and they were dug up in partially de-
composed state. 1t was found that the
Indian had not been shot through the
head but through the body. As none
of the money has ever been recovered
and the further fact tat Shopdoacs
cabin was later ransacked from top to
bottom by his murderers it is presumed
that the money was secreted somewhere.
Chas. Scharp, of this city, an employe
of the Murray Mfg Co was present
when the body was exhumed.

TO PROTECT FISH.

A number of the local lovers of the
sport which proved so fascinating to
Isaac Walton will meet in the G.. A. r.
room in the basement of the court
house this evening for the purpose of
organizing themselves into an associa-
ton. The object and purposes of the
association will be.to protect fish from
the man with the net and the dyna-
miter by 'peaching" or every one
caught in any illegal act ia getting a
Lenten dinner out of Marathon county
waters. 1t is quite likely that steps will
be taken to establish a bureau of infor-
nation which will supply names of the
best brands of "bait" to be used and
prizes will be offered at the end of the
season to the member who can furnish
the best collection of fish stories. AS
Fritz kummerow is the boss fisherman
in this section he ought to be elected
president and Fred Marquardt would
make an excellent vice-nresident.
The members will dse their best
efforts in stocking Marathon county
streams with fish and each will act as a
deputy game warden, so to speak. A
fnnd will be created for the prosecu-
ton of violators of the game laws and
the association no doubt win cause
many arrests and prosecutions to be
faade

WILL GET GOLD MEDAL.


When the Third regiment Of w. N.
u. encamps meet next summer at Camp
Douglas 4ptain H. j. Abraham, of the
Wausau company, will be presented
with gold medal by the state for
fifteen years service, niue as captain.
He is the second ranking captain in
the state and had the encampment of
last year been held a few weeks later
he would have been given the medal at
that time. Captain Schultz, of the La
Crosse company, is the only other cap
tain to whom such medal has thus far
been presented, although number of
minor officers and privates possess
them. Mr.. Abraham will also tender
his resignation at that time and as it
appears now, Co. G-the company which
won national distinction in the early
'80'5 by winning everything in sight at
the international competitive drill at
Chicago and which has borne a good
record ever since-will pass out OF ex-
istence. There appears to be some
disaffection in the ranks and as the
members elect their own captain it will
be impossible to select one whom all
will serve under. There are number
of towns with independent companies
which desire to get into the state guaro
and the place made vacant by the dis
bandment of Co. q will not be long in
being filed. Wausau will then be the
largest town in the state without a
militia company.

LOSS OF SLEEP MEANS LOSS
OF MIND.
Inability to Sleep is Natures Plain
Warning of an Exhausted Ner-
vous System.
DIR. A. w. CHAsE's NERVE PILLS

When you overwork any muscle or
set of muscles they tire and must have
rest. What is true Of muscle is doubly
true of the brain, as from it emanates
all power to work, to act, to think
The brain is full of little cells that dur
ing the waking hours are never quiet
in their efforts to furnish to every organ
the power to do its duty. Rob these
little cells of their rest at night-keep
them at work all the time, and soon
they tire, refuse to act, fail to generate
nerve force and the system goes to
ruin. Bromides, sedatives, opiates only
hasten the end-they do not build up
they tear down. The true remedy, the
only cure, lies in Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills, medicine that revitalizes,
reinvigor ates, and by properly nourish-
ing these overworked little cells, give
them rest aud quiet and enables one to
sleep naturally and easily again.

CITY COUNCIL.

At last Tuesday evenings meeting of
the city council an endless chain of pc
titions was presented, asking for exten-
sion of water mains, installing of addi-
tlonal street lights, etc, all of which
were referred to the proper committees
Tor investigation and report.
The mayor reported that the expert
ment tried during the winter of employ
ing river water to cleanse the city's
water mains, had, it was ascertained.
been in large degree successful.
Some pipes had been entirely freed of
fungus growth and the growth in all
had been more or less diminished.
The experiment will be tried again next
winter he stated.
The committee on streets and bridges
reported favorably on giving Henry
Ellenbecker contract for furnishing
wooden street signs at the rate of 15c
each. 1t was moved and carried that
the city engineer report the number of
street signs required, tkat the total cost
might be determined before a contract
is made
The chief of police reported that dur
ing the month of March total of sixty
i've persons were confined in the city
lookup, OF whom ftty-0ne were vags.
The committee on streets and bridges
recommended that street grader be
purchased of the kind with pavement
scraper attached, at cost not to exceed
1895. No definite action was taken.
-Four ordinances were introduced and
ordered published, the substance of
which is that of the new bond issue $780,
900 shall be used for refunding the
water works bonds; SIC, ,0G0 for street i'm
provements; SIC, 600 for water works ex
tensions, and $l5,0000 for sewer con-
struction. This was done upon request
OF Farson, Leach u Co., the firm taking
up the new bonds. The firm doubted
the legality OF the issue as matters stood,
nothing being stated as to what amounts
and for what purposes the money
raised on the bonds was to be used.
The mayor stated that he had made ar
rangements with the different city
banks to take care of the water bonds
until the new bonds we're issued
The committee on streets and bridges
recommended that the city purchase
two street sprinklers Immediately, at a
cost not to exceed 1915 each.
1t was also recommended that a
street sweeper be purchased at a cost
not TO exceed 1896, but the council
looked upon the recommendation
adversely, and no street sweeper will be
purchased.
i. A. Lacerte's claim for damages to
his cement side walk, resulting from
blasting while excavations were made
for sewers in front of his place last fall,
was turned down" In his petition he
stated that unless the claim was allowed
he would bring suit against the city.
Upon motion of Alderman Liljeqvest
the terms of the present city officers,
who are appointed by the council, were
extended to May 1st, 1906
