VOLCANOES IN ACTION.

No grander display of Natures power
can be thought of than volcanic erup-
ton. The phenomenon is of such stu
pendous magnificence that the awful
destruction of life and property is al
most lost sight of. Until recently it
was impossible to represent a volcanic
eruption on the stage with any effect,
for the risk of fire was to- great.
Modern science has overcome the OBJ
stacle and with the aid of electricity, a
thrilling approach to the real thing is
now possible. In the tragic melo-
drama, ''Fabio Romani'' to be present
ed at the Grand opera house on Satur-
day, August 10Th, the eruption of Mt.
Vesuvius and the illumination of the
Bay of Naples are among the startling
effects. This comes as fitting climax
for one of the most powerful plays
which hold the stage today. The COM
pany with its mass of scenery comes
direct from it's New York success.

MAY EFFECT GINSENG SALE.

Local ginseng dealers have received
circular letters from wholesalers call
ing their attention to the boycott China
has started against American products
and advising them to Immediately ship
any ginseng they may have in stock
As the Chinese get practically all of
their ginseng from this country and
cannot very well get along without the
root, the circular letter is thought to be
nothing more than scheme to get for
the wholesaler a large stock of ginseng
at a low price. The price paid by local
dealers at present is about Sc per
pound. One of the fool laws passed at
the last session of the legislature was
one prohibiting the picking or sale of
wild ginseng during the month of
August. The law was intended to pro-
tect tho plant, for during this month
the seed drop from the blossoms and
sprout. Instead of projecting the plant
the law is imperative, for there is not
one dealer in ten that can tell the
difference between the wild and the
cultivated roots, and must accept all
that comes to him. Local druggists
ard some general stores purchase most
of the wild roots offered for sale in this
city and they in turn sell to agents of
wholesale firms, the agents visiting
Wausau frequently There are great
many gardens of the cultivated plant
in this county but few so far have sold
any roots, there being more money in
selling The seed.

It is reported that the Edward Hines

1t is reported that the Edward Hines
Lumber Co. is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Alexander-Edgar saw mill
at Iron River. The mill, it is said, Was
offered the Hines Co. some time ago at
a very low figure but at that time the
company refused to buy. Lately the
Hines Co. has purchased big tract of
timber only a few miles from the
Alexander Edgar mill and it is said
that the price which will now be paid
for it, if it is sold, will be about double
what was asked for it some months
ago.
Local dealers report that since yell
the lumber market has been greatly
strengthened OF late years the South
has furnished Northern retail lumber
dealers with a great deal of yellow pine
and other woods which take the place
of northern white and Norway pine.
At present those dealers are skeptical
about buying southern lumber and the
result is that they are purchasing stocks
from northern mill men.

A DAY AT ATHENS.
Mr.. Wright Tells about the Coming
County Fair.

Mr. L. X. Wright, secretary of the
Marathon County Agricultural society
and the Wis. Valley Livestock Breed
ers' Assn, drove over from Wausau on
Saturday, bringing his family and Mr..
Reitbrock with him, and returned Sun
day afternoon. Mr.. Wright is enthus-
iastic over the prospects of an excel
lent fair to De held at Wausau, Sept. s.
rs, 1905. He says the shows in all
lines of stock will be better than ever
Defore-that there will be the greatest
show of pure bred cattle in Wisconsin;
an excellent show of horses, sheep and
hogs. Many leading breeders from all
parts of the state are attracted to this
fair because here the square deal is
handed out to all. The money eXpend-
ed by the society is put into premiums
that will bring first class stuff to the
fair, and no money is put into fakes,
gambling devices, etc.
Mr.. Wright heartily invites the farm
ers to bring with them any samples of
grains, grasses or live stock that they
may have upon their farms, and thus
help make the fair better and more
helpful than ever. In all classes, expert
judges from without the county will do
the Judging and fair treatment will be
accorded to all exhibitors. Take a day
off and go co the fair, there gain what
knowledge you can from the talks of
the judges and by the exhibits you will
see, and then return to your farm and
as much as possible, apply what you
have learno / to your farm operations

MARATHON CO, FAIR AND Wis.
LIVE STOCK BREEDERS ASSN
The Greatest Fair in Wisconsin-Record
Breaking Crowds and Exhibits.
HALF RATES ON ALL RAILROADS.

The famous Marathon County Fair
and Wisconsin Valley Live Stock
Breeders association meeting, opens
here three weeks from today.
The largest crowd of people that ever
visited Wausau will be here and our
citizens should take every advantage of
this opportunity to boom Wausau.
Every business house should arrange
their windows and places of business
for the occasion, and every one should
make up their minds 10 attend the Fair
as often as possible.
ONE FARE RATE ON RAILROADS.
Recognizing the Importance of the
event and realizing the benefits they
can reap, the railroads have offered
rate of one fare for the round trip from
points where the one way rate is 49,
or less. Tickets on sale September 4-8,
good to return leaving Wausau up TO
and including September oh.
This rate alone insures tremendous
crowd of visitors, many of whom will
visit our city for the first time. This
one fare rate includes all points south
on the st. Paul road to Portage and
north to the end of the line. On the
Northwestern the rate applies north as
far as Manitowish, south as far as Cato
and Fond du Lac, and west to Marsh
field aud up the Omaha to Chippewa
Falls On the Wisconsin Central it
applies west to Chippewa Falls, north
to Butternut, and south to Fond du-
Lac. No such rate was ever before
secured for any event in this city.
The management of the fair promises
that this fair will surpass all of its pre-
decessors. The live stock departments
will, as heretofore, be the great feature
and the entries already promised in
sure that every bit of space in the cattle
and horse barns will be crowded The
exhibits of sheep and hogs will also be
larger than ever Prof Wayne Dins-
more, of Ames, Iowa, Will judge the
live stock.
The poultry department viii be the
one to show the greatest gain over
former years, for w. H. Laats, of Wau-
paca, the secretary of the State Poultry
association will do the judging and has
induced many of the best poultry breed
ers in the state to exhibit.
The dairy exhibits will be judged by
Prof Harrington, of Madison, the great
est dairy expert in the West. Every
creamery and cheese factory in the
county should enter their products.
l.. l.. Olds, of Clinton, Rock county,
will Judge farm products, his work on
two former occasions gave general
satisfaction. Our farmers should make
special efforts to have this department
surpass the great shows OF former years
Prof Fred Cranefeld, who has
charge of the state tlial orchard in the
town of Maine, will judge the fruit and

and caring fortress.

cows of the breed, is threatening to
shatter the Guernsey record for cows
Al years old. The record is 595 ID. In
z months less 8 days Standards Morn
ing Glory has made Ais So h. including
81 lbs. in July.
We doubt if people realize what the
phenominal work of this herd means to
Marathon county. If one COW had
broken the record we would give all
the credit to the COW. But when we
consider how many finely bred Guern-
| seys, the best that money can buy and
fed by the best men that money can
hire, fail to make the best; we must
realize that the work of Mr. Reitbrock' s
herd in so easily making the test,
means more than good cows and good
handling. 1t means that Marathon
county grasses, climate and water, with
Intelligent care and feeding, surpass
the best that any part of the United
States furnish, and mark Marathon
county and the clover belt of Wiscon-
sin as the finest dairy country on Gods
| footstool.
Marathon county and the neighbor-
ing counties shorld take off their hats

will be done by a committee of ladies
from Merrill, and the housekeepers of
Wausau should resolve to make these
departments something to be proud of.
The departments mentioned above
are the real beneficial ones, those which
should be first in the thoughts of Fair
management, but the American public
demands amusement in addition TO in
struction, so the Marathon County Fair
has offered large purses for speed, in
Guiding four early closing stakes, en-
tries to which closed July 1st Forty
seven horses are entered for these
stakes, including horses from Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.
Minnesota, Nebraska and the Province
of Ontario. These stakes are for 2:G0
trotters; 2;1S, 2:24 and 2:13 PAGERS. In
addition to the stakes, three class races
will be given for $50 PAGERS; 2:2O and
2:16 trotters. Entries to these classes
close Aug. 25th.
FAIR NOTES.
The exhibits of farm machinery will
be much better than usual. The j. 1.
Case Threshing Machine Co. of Racine
will have large exhibit.
Oakley ID entered in the 2:18 pace
took record OF 2:OSf at Grand Rapids,
Mich, last week. He has the fastest
record of any horse ever entered for
race in this section.
Hotels, boarding houses and private
families having rooms to rent during
fair week, are requested to list the same
at once with Chas. Weinfeld, chairman
of the Information Bureau which will
have headquarters in the Bells House
lobby. The reputation of Wausau as
for a hospitable city is at stake. No
one must be compelled to sit up all
night.
A. M. Crawford, of Chicago, and T.
j. Fleming of Milwaukee will be two of
the Judges in the race stand. The
third Judge has not yet been selected.
The Fair has planned for more ex-
tensive advestising than ever before
$1,000 school childrens tickets were sent
out to every school clerk in the county
last spring. Early in July 1900 pre-
MUM books were mailed out. This
week a fine line of hangers will be put
up in every town within 125 miles of
Wausau.
Later these will be followed by 10000
dodgers advertising the excursion
rates.
The Fair management is having all
their stock barns, racing barns,
poultry buildings, sheep and hog pens,
whitewashed and disinfected. This is a
wise precaution as many live stock
breeders do not show at fairs for fear of
getting their herds contaminated with
disease. 1t is such foresight as this,
that has given the Marathon County
Fair its reputation among breeders of
live stock.

SAVED IN THE ARCTICS.
r. N. Larner, of This City, Had a
Cousin With the Party

Anthony Fiala and thirty-seven mem
bers, of the Ziegler polar expedition,
have been rescued. After two years
trying 20 find the north pole, Capt
Fiala and his men reached 81 degrees
and 80 minutes north latitude. Their
ship vas crushed in the ice during the
winter of l9O3-04, and all would have
perished from starvation had it not
been for the stores of fuel and provi-
sions left by the Andree and other
relief expeditions several years ago.
AS it was, only one sailor died, and he of
natural causes. Robert N. Larner, of
this city, had a cousin with Fiala, he
had given him up as lost, and he felt
very jubilant upon receiving the daily
papers, Friday, giving accounts of the
rescue. Mr.. Larner's cousin was j. Z.
Vaughn. He is doctor and had pre-
viously spent some time in Alaska, and
was quite an expert in the training and
care of dogs. The party reached Hon
uingvaag, Norway, Aug. 10th, from
which city the glad tidings were tele
graphed to the world.

Fred Rietbrock of Athens will show
herd of his Guernsey cattle at the
Marathon County Fair. MIR. Rietbrock
was very much opposed to Bringing his
cattle to the fair for fear of accidents
but Sec'y Wright worked ON his patriot
ism and he will be here.
This herd is one of which Marathon
county should be proud and which we
trust our people will al see and
appreciate. 1t is today undoubtedly
the most famous herd in America for it
has COW, Yeksa Sunbeam, which has
the worlds record for the production
OF butter fat at her mercy. The record
Ia year tesG is now 7756 lb. of fat
equal to about S91 ID. of butter. This
record will be beaten about 40 or so Id.
by Yeksa Sunbeam. She has made up to
Aug. l, 733. .l3 10. of fat and has IS days
still before her. She made 74Iu dur
ing July. So far in Aug. she is doing
better than at any time. On Saturday
Aug. 9Th when Mr. Wright visited the
herd at Athens she MIXED 49.4 Id. OF

duetion of over S0lb. for Aug.
Lilynor, heifer that entered the test
year ago, August 18th, also has a
wonderful record which places her a
close third in the two year old class
On August 1st, with eleven days to

MUD MIN N0WS.

Grand Rapids, Wisconsin enjoys the
distinction of having an industry
unique and peculiarly its own, that of
supplying all the summer resorts of
the north with fish bait. The large
mud minnows that abound in the
swamps around town offer a very
tempting bait to the kingly muskalonge,
the pike, pickerel and bass, and nearly
every train that leaves for the north
has from 500 to 5000 minnows aboard
headed for the resorts. 1t is estimated
that an average of 800 worth week
is shipped out of here during the open
season and lots of schoolboys will re-
turn to school after vacation with new
shoes and clothing earned by catching
minnows.-Grand RAPIDS Reporter.

TOUGH ON HUNTERS.

The new state laws which have
recently gone into effect in Wisconsin
are surprising, not only the editor who
holds public office, and therefore can
not travel on mileage which he has
honestly earned, but others are getting
it in the neck"
The latest announcement is that tents
and camp equipments, used by hunting,
fishing and camping parties, can no
longer be carried by the railroads as
baggage. The general baggage agents
of the Wisconsin roads have just is
sued positive instructions to all agents,
to the effect that under the Wisconsin
laws no railway employee will in the
future accept, for transportation as
baggage, any tents, camp equipage, or
any other article not authorized to be
carried as ordinary ba gage, belonging
to any resident of the state of Wiscon-
SIM"
To make this point plain beyond a
doubt the circulars declare that agents
will not check free any excess baggage
above the legal free allowance of $50
pounds for each full ticket, or 70
pounds for each half ticket, and no
other articles can be checked as bag
gage; these rules will be strictly en-
forced to avoid discrimination, which
is prohibited by law"
In the past every road in Wisconsin
has extended special courtesies to
parties going on hunting. fishing and
camping trips by carrying their camp
outfits as baggage, either as excess
baggage at excess rates, or free. Here
after all will have to be sent by ex-
press or freight.
