THE OTHER FELLOWS
SAY--And Mine.

A businessman wants to know where
is the advantage of sending the fellow
to jail who did the the shooting in the
street the other day, when he had
money with which to pay a fine?
AS far as the shooting in the air
was concerned, it didn't amount to
very much-but swapping his revolver
at Officer McNally was another and
very different matter. 1t was an ap-
parent intention to kill the officer.
Of course whisky did it, but the Of
fender voluntarily got the whisky. So
that doesn't help much.
Now, as to the penalty. 1t doesn't
occur to me that the Jail sentence
hurts such fellow any more than a
fine-perhaps not as much. To take
every dollar the fellow had, yes, and
every cent, and what he had due him
in all about $1O0-would have hurt
any young fellow. And that is what
was needed.
This business man figured profit and
loss-it is the long suit Of merchants
and he finds tnat the Jail sentence will
cost upward of a hundred dollars-con-
siderably upward in fact-while a fine
would have put the county nearly $100
to the good. There is both profit and
loss.
Now, if you can hurt the offender
lust ais badly and come out couple
hundred dollars ahead, this business
man and tax payer wants to know why
not.
Logging is reported as going on in
fine shape in the woods Good headway
is reported in cutting and skidding, the
work being promoted by The lack of
snow. The smaller loggers will want
Snow to haul upon, while the heavier
loggers will use ice roads. The season
promises to be good one.
The price of wood prevails high this
season and hardly enough has come in
so far to supply the demand. The News
makes no objection to good price for
wood as it is an inducement to settlers.
We are out of calendars just now.
The call was heavier than anticipated.
It shows what local in the News
will do. We will have more calendars
in day or two.

L0GGERS ARE BUSY
F. w. spiegelburg Says that things
are Rushing.

F. w Spiegelburg of Larson is en-
ployed this year as Inspector of camps
for the Menasha Woodenware company.
Mr.. Spiegelburg says that the Menasha
people will put in more logs this year
than ever before
The additional supply of logs will
necessitate an extension of the booms
at the mills in this city.
Other logging concerns are also push
ing their work and probably more logs
will be harvested in Rusk county than
in any year since the hardwood industry
was started.

School Closed for Vacation.

The city schools closed Tuesday for

place few days earlier than it other
wise would on account of a considerable
scarlet fever prevailing in the city. It
was thought better to close the schools
a few days earlier as precautionary
measure.

AND CROPS FOR 1904
a Review Of Conditions 81 Months Is:
Sized hu ssctian lirector Ranef:

a Review Of Conditions 81 Months IS:
Sued BY Section Director Bauef:
The ANNUAL review 81 weather and
crop conditions issued by Section Di-
rector Bauer for 1904 is full of interest
to all who are affected or at all con-
cerned about such matters. The re-
view says:
The year was, seemingly, an anon
.olous one in the relation between the
prevailing weather and crop produc-
ton. The spring was cold, especially
during April, and was very dry well
into early stlmmer-conditions adverse
to favorable termination and rapid
growth. During June, July and Aug
ust, Slightly more than As per cent. OF
the years precipitation was recorded,
and during the same fnohths the tenn
.perature was unusually equable, with
no long periods Of extremely hot
weather. Both of these conditions were
very favorable on crops that had their
principal period of growth and devel-
opment in these months, such as corn
and cotton, and the previous long period
Of dry weather had afforded ample op-
.portunity for thorough cultivation,
which Is an essential factor In caus-
ing large yields of these crops. How
ever, increased yields, over 1903, were
not confined to those two crops, but IN
cluded wheat, oats, tobacco, rice as well
as less important crops Commercially,
such as fruits, hay and the many minor
crops that have a large economic I'M
.portance though of small commercial
value. Nearly all of the latter crops
we're not materially affected by the
mid-summer rains, having matured
before the rains set i'll, or having had
their growth prolonged to the less ia
vorable autumn, aid yet they produced
more abundantly than in the previous
year, hence the anomoly.
The seeding time for wheat and oats,
late in 1903, was not favorable; the
winter was an unusually cold one; the
spring was cold and dry; the summer
had an equable temperature and CO.
pious rainfall; the autumn was unusu-
ally dry; the killing frosts somewhat
later than the average date of occur
renee; the closing months were fairly
favorable for seeding wheat and oats.
This is brief epitome Of the weather
for 1904, to which may be added that
the year as a whole was colder than
usual, and had the smallest average
amount of precipitation Since systematic
records have been kept.
January was unusually cold with less
than the usual precinitation. fhes'

RUSSIAN CAUSE DESPERATE
Only Their Well Directed Flight Has Saved Entire
Army From determination
Made a Good Run.

Official information from the Rus
sian headquarters in the field. supple
mented By dispatches from CORES
rondcnts with the army of the Rus
sian Emperor, show that General Ku-
ropatkin, after suffering by far the
most severe defeat of the war, has
succeeded, as he did after the battle
OF Lao Yang, in extricating the rem
nants Of his army from a position
which military experts "a hours be.
fore believed would result III it's ami
hilation or surrender. The retreat
from Lao Yang has been considered
the most mastery ever executed, but
it is far oversha6owed ty this latest
feat OF the Russian general, who has
taken personal command of the
troops. After fighting for nearly
three weeks. losing in killed. wound
ed, and missing, probably third of
bis army, or nearly 100000 men, and
fourth Of his artillery. Kuropatkin
gathered what was left together north
OF Mukden and is taking them towards
Tie Pass through rain of shrapnel
which is being thrown on them from
both right and left. This he seems
to have been able to accomplish by re-
sorting to the same tactics which
saved his army at Lao Yang.
Genera. Kuropatkin has .sent in his
resignation to the Emperor.
General Kuropa.kin has telegraphed
to Emperor Nicholas assuming him
self all the responsibility for his de-
feat, making no excuses except that
the strength Of the Japanese was mis-
calculated and refusing to place any
of the blame upon the council Of gen.
erals upon whose advice he determined
to give battle. His reputation as an
offensive strategist is gone, and,
thought the Emperor's military advis-
ors know not where to look for n bet
ter general, his resignation will be
accepted.
In losing General Kuropatkin, the
army will lose the idol of the private
soldiers, an officer who, in spite OF
the intrigues Of his generals and his
failure to win battle, has won their
confidence and affection.
