BOUGHT A STEPPER.

r. E. Powers, editor of the Wausau
Herald, spent a few hours in the city,
last Saturdy, coming down on bust
ness trip, and while here purchased the
handsome black stopper owned by
John Finch. The animal is five years
old and is finely bred it's dam having
record of 2:121, while the sire was also
one of the fastest in his time. Mr..
Finch bought the horse only few
months ago, and disposed of it because
he expects to be away much of the COM
ing summer. Our friend Powers will
be able to throw the dust in the eyes of
some of the best of them at Wausau-

Mrs. Frank Pumerlie, of Schofeld, has
been awarded verdict of 81, 700, in
Guiding costs of action, by decision
rendered recently in supreme court
against the city of Merrill. She was
formerly a resident of that city and
some years ago was injured by falling
on a defective sidewalk. She offered
to settle her claim at one time for 81 800
but this was refused. She brought suit
for $1,000 damages, which was tried
twice in Lincoln county and once in
Waupaca county on a change of venue.
In each instance she was given iudg-
ment and an appeal was then taken to
the supreme court with results as above
stated.

whv Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible, and that alone
is worth many times its cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for a short
relief from suffering have been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the
relief became permanent. Mrs. V. II.
Leggett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U.
S. A, writes: Il am a great sufferer
from rheumatism, all over from head to
foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is
the only thing that will relieve the pain"

After lengthy discussion the senior
class decided to have as motto mo
Excellence Without Labor" The ques-
ton that caused the argument was,
what should the last word be labor"
"pull" or graft" The graft side
put up strong fight and 'labor" only
won by one vote. Some time ago the
class, for joke, adopted the following
quotation, Fortune is tickle and even
professors fall" for motto. This was
to remind themselves when they are
teaching the "young IDEAL" that they
might possibly make mistake.

About 200 chiefs and braves as delegates from subordinate tribes in the state were in attendance when Great sachem William R. Risley, of New Britain, rapped the gathering to order with the tomahawk.
 Great Sachem Risley in his report recommended an earlier date for the election of delegates to the great coun- cil for the convenience of the officials.
 William Saunders, of Naugatuck, great chief of records, expressed the belief that the order is stronger and more popular than ever in the history of the reservation. No new tribes have been inaugurated within the last year, but there has been healthy growth, he said, and much work has been done in bringing in new members. The total membership was reported as 3,729, an increase of 33S during the year The ag- gregate receipts of the tribes during . CIlt year were E@tvfou4s etiu lilS ChPCliui7 turss $24,64S, for funeral benefits relief work and other charitable purposes, to- gether with general and current ex- penses. The resources amounted tc sS1,561 The total funds in the treas ury of the great council amount to g.. 271.

x-RAY TREATMENT FOR CANCEL
Berlin Professors Successful Experi-
 men.s.

Berlin, May S,-The treatment of can- cer by Roentgen rays rather than by the knife was discussed at to-day's session of the international congress called to celebrate the tenth anniyer- sary of the discovery of the Roentgen ray. Prof. Lassar of Berlin, who is re- garded as an authority on diseases of the skin, read a paper averring that he has had only three failures in this cure for cancer in some hundreds of cases he had treated, but only where the growths were not deep seated because the healing effect of the ray only pene- trateed to depth of one-fifth of an inch. The ray seemed ineffective for large growths. s....s. ', Prof. Imelman of Berlin read a sum- mary of reports on sixty cases of can cer treated by Dr. Conas of Lisbon
 whose results had been equally success ful with those of Prof. Lassar. A Prof. Unger Of Berlin was sceptical of cures in serious cases. He knew of no cure of cancer of the breast.
 Prof. Sjoegrenl of Stockholm agreed with Prof. Unger but Prof. Wolgemutt of Berlin cited an instance of a woman seventy-five years of age, who was
 cured of cancer of the breast after sev' enty-two applications. three applica- tions being made each week she was
 under treatment. x. ssSty a Prof. Gocht of Halle exhibited g clocklike invention that rang an alarm when the ray reached the burning l point . .

"RAILWAY MERGER BILL.u
Debated in the Massachusetts LegisIa-
 ture Yesterday.

H ! Boston, May 3.-The so-called '.rail- way merger bill," to authorize railroad companies to acquire the stock of rail- ways of street railroad companies. was debated in the legislature to-day. MT. Luce, of Somerville, moved reference of the matter to the next general court. He said that the legislature had been confronted with a more serious propo- sition than that the steam and the street roads should merge. The pub lie can gain from consolidation in only two important ways" said MT. Luce lower fares or better service. The re- cent history of the steam roads does not
 indicate any desire to share their. prop erty with the public" .. MT. Hayes, of Lowell, opposed refer lence to the next general court, saying that the bill was based on the report land recommendation of the railroad commission. Speaking of the alleged purchase by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad of 8 Massachu- sets railway, he declared that the New Haven road was not domestic corpor- ation purely and simply, and that un- der its Connecticut charter it has the right to own the stock of street rail- ways in Connecticut; and the street railway company under it's charter. is given the right to hold stock in Massa- chusetts street railways and to own and operate them through holding company. @
 | The Luce motion was defeated and the bill was passed to a third reading.

Boston, May 3.-Announcement was made to-day that the Boston Employ CTS association has decided to attempt to place all non-union men in the city under the protection of the Citizens h. dustrial Association or America and or galize them on principles which are di- ametrically opposed to the aims of la bor unions. The chairman of the spec ial committee which has the matter in charge is George B. Hugo, Boston employer. MT. Hugo said to-day that the movement in Boston is part of a general movement throughout the country to do something Ito prevent the abuses of labor organizations, on the theory that the orry proper way of meeting an enemy is to meet him with his own weapons The plans include the opening of an employment bureau. The declaration Of principles includes the following:

 Replying to a question by Senator Clapp as to the effect of the Panama canal on the railroads, Mir. Hill said that for Atlantic and Gulf ports and for l15O miles inland the canal would be of some advantage. But" he added, flor all interior points we will meet any rate made by the canal route"
 Again questioned by Senator Clapp, MT. Hill declared that every railway officer should be disqualified from en-
 gazing in the production of traffic on line where he is on the payroll, because of the temptation to favor the company in which he was interested. When Mir. Hill concluded the commit tee adjourned until tomorrow.
