MRS. HERMAN MILLER.

Mrs. Sarah Miller, wife of ex-Assem.
blyman Herman Miller, died at the
home OF her daughter, Matte, in Chi.
cago on Tuesday morning last as the
result OF injuries received a year ago
On September II, 1904, she fell from a
door step and sustained injuries from
which she apparently recovered in due
time, and for the greater part of year
thereafter was able to perform her
household duties as before. About
July lst she suffered paius and kept
getting worse until it was decided to
take her to Chicago to consult special
ist. Upon her arrival in that city a
physician was called who made an
| examination and ascertained that at the
time of the accident she had suffered
internal injuries and that her recent
illness was due to these having become
aggravated, perhaps through some
strain, Hopes were entertained for her
recovery until Tuesday, when she
experienced sinking spell in which
Sne CLOSED nef eyes IN death.
Deceased was born in Constableville.
Lewis county, N. T., in 1S41, and was
therefore GA years of age at the time of
death. Her maiden name was Sarah
Jane Duffy, she being sister of Mike
Duffy, an old and well known resident
of Wausau. who is now deceased
She came here in 1862 and on July 2,
1864, was united in marriage to Herman
Miller. She was the mother of six sur
viving children, as follows William,
Maude and Robert, Wausau Mrs.
Sarah Reed, Mrs Nellie Dorsey, Miss
Matte Miller, Chicago She also leaves
one adopted son, Oscar, who resides
here. The second oldest son, Herman,
died three years ago. Besides her hus-
band and children, she is survived by a
brother, Peter Duffy, of Utica, N. Y,
and sister, Mrs. Margaret Markham,
of Lafayette, Ind
The remains were brought home for
burial Wednesday evening, accompan-
led by Mr.. Miller, who was with her
when she died and by her daughters.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon from the home on the Sturgeon
Eddy road, the Rev S. N Wilson, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, con-
Quoting services.
The death of Mrs Miller removes
from our midst good woman. Com
ing here in her early life, when Wau-
sau was but a frontier town, it seemed
as though her early association with
nature had drawn into her life its fresh
ness and beauty and given her that
sunshiny amiable and loving disposi-
ton which she so thoroughly possessed.
Meeting with the reverses allotted to
every family it could well be said of her
that she was ''o'er all the ills of life,
triumphant" An exemplary and faith
full wife, devoted mother, a kind and
sympathetic friend to her associates,
she had endeared herself to all, and the
memory of her life is a rich legacy that
will be treasured by all who knew her.

WAS A PIONEER.

81 am one of the curiosities of Wis
consin-an Irish farmer" said j. II.
Kennedy, of Wausau, at the Hotel Pts
ter. 81 settled in Marathon county
when Wausau consisted of three saw
mills lost in the woods, in 1869. paid
$40 to have my trunk carried from Ber-
lin to Wausau. There were no railroads
beyond Berlin, and took passage in the
mail and express COACH and had the
privilege of walking beside the vehicle
and help to pry it out of the mud Iset-
tied on farm, or rather in the woods,
and could go out on my land at any
time and shoot deer. They had
habit of eating up my turnips and
cabbages, and they still continue the
depreciation, but not as much as they
used to. Ten years ago | was offered
eighty acres OF land up there, witi1
fourteen head of cattle, three horses
and twenty sheep for 81, 900. Forty
acres of the same farm was sold recent
ly for 81 900. Land up there has more
than doubled in price during the past
twenty years milwaukee Evening

M. w. A. PICNIC.

At a meeting of Woodmen held in
Merrill last Thursday it was decided e
hold the next picnic in this city, some
time during the summer of 1906. The
call for the meeting was issued by the
Merrill lodge officers. The last picnic
of Northern Wisconsin M. w. A. Picnic
association was held in that city in 1904
and Grand Rapids was given the picnic
for this year but 'fiunked," leaving
the Merrill officers still in authority TO
call the meeting. The Wausau dele
gates were Wm. Waterhouse and John
Foster for Camp No. 1854 and Albert
Rapraeger and S. C. Sawyer for West
Side Camp. The delegates discussed
the claims of different cities for the
next picnic and the delegates of
Wausau and Rhinelander made a fight
for their respective cities. When the
result of the first ballot was made
known it was plainly evident that
Wausau's delegates had put up the
better argument, for the vote stood 25
to in favor of Wausau. The time of
holding the picnic is left optional with
the local lodges and a meeting will be
called at some time in the future to
elect officers for the picnic association.
After the association has been organ
lied, committees will be appointed to
conduct the work of preparation and
no doubt the local lodges will entertain
their guests next year fully as well as
they did in 1901, when the picnic was
held here.
The picnic will bring to Wausau
from 1000 to 5000 people-perhaps
more for the annual state convention
of the order will be held here at the
same time, which will bring many
delegates who would not come to the
picnic alone. The jurisdiction of the
association covers all territory north
from New London The members of
the different lodges will come as organ
izations and number will bring brass
bands with them. A program COM
mittee will furnish plenty of amuse-
ment for everyone and committee on
hotels will see that no one will be re-
quired to sit up all night for want of
accommod ations.

PEACHES.
Not How Cheap-But How Good

Not How Cheap-But How Good.
Mr.. EDITOR =
Good peaches, like good men and
good women, are in demand every
where. We cannot have too many of
them. Being a peach grower as well
as a dealer | thought a short letter
might be acceptable on this subject.
Many know that the Michigan peach
belt is a strip not over so miles long
and perhaps 20 miles wide in Western
Michigan, St. Joe, Benton Habor,
South Haven being the best known
cities near the best orchards.
Have placed South Haven last altho'
L think it's the best. Land that will sell
near st. Joe at 5000 to 81 900 per acre
will sell near South Haven at S100 to $500
all depending on improvements and
fruit trees, length of time, etc.
This season the peach crop in Michi-
gan is abundant, while it is failure in
the celebrated Delaware district also in
the peach district of Oregon, known as
the Rogue River valley.
The first varieties to mature after
trees have been growing four to six
years and being pruned and trimmed
and plowed around during that time are
the white varieties, such as Amsdens,
etc, these: being low priced, for so
many people will not buy a white
peach. The other we'll known varieties
maturing in about this order are:
Early Crawfords, Cranes Early, Conk-
Inns, Engles, Mammoth, Barnards,
Elberla, Kalamazoo, Gold Drop.
The season is at its height at Gold
Drop period. There are too many
Gold Drop trees in one locality, all
maturing at once and IFS anything but
a gold drop as to price-comes near be-
ing ''nickel" or "copper"" drop. Then
follows Stevens, Late Crawfords,
Smock, Salway. The last two come so
late that good price is secured.
At South Haven we have canning
factory, using 1000 bushels per day OF
peaches, of which they buy the best but
at the lowest price-so we all, as far as
can, seek a market not at home
even though the best is wanted but
where good peach is appreciated.
Chicago being the dumping ground
for fruits of the world, you may say, is
the poorest place to sell, but in places
ike Wausau, where good fruit is ap-
preciated, have found a good market.
Heretofore you have had the left overs
from South Water ST., Chicago. From
South Haven in two days, without delay,
you now can have them.
The canning season is now with us
and within week, peaches in bushels
will be for SALE For this many pre-.
fer the Barnards, but anyone who uses
the Gold Drop or Kalamazoo, will never
regret it. Not how cheap but how
good" H. G. PARKER.

We wish to buy hemlock and hard
wood timber lands; any farmer wishing
to sell timber and keep the land should
come and see us. We want, more es-
pecially, hemlock timber, and logs that

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

/ Capt. johnson called a meeting of all
the boys interested in foot ball this year
and thirty-six fellows turned out, which
Principal Parlin stated was an unusual
ly large number for the first meeting in
the year. Coach Lewis gave a short
lecture on discipline, saying that there
should be no talking on the field, but if
the boys have points or kicks" to make
they should report them to Capt. John
son, the coach, or Mr.. Scholes. Mr..
Scholes, who has had quite little foot
ball experience and is an expert punter,
gave a short talk, congratulating the
boys on their spirit and the spirit of the
school, and he volunteered to help the
boys all ne could
Two full teams have been organized,
Mr.. Lewis coaching the first and Mr..
Scholes the second, so that the first
team will get some good hard work
"bucking'' the second which is heavier
than the first
We are going to win the valley and
perhaps the state championship, if the
| citizens will give us the proper support
The high school chorus was organ
lied Wednesday and is considerably
larger than before, so that more books
must be ordered.
Principal Parlin requested that the
pupils try to attend school every day,
as he wished to make a record this year
of attendance and punctuality
e. G. Parlin was i'll yesterday and
could not attend to his duties in the
school.
The boys will play the Business col
lege team next Saturday on the high
school grounds.
Last Friday afternoon, DR.. Seares,
who was the first principal in the Wau-
sau schools, gave us short
talk. He said it was forty-three
years ago when he taught in the little
white school house where the Washing
ton School now stands. He said it was
the best school in the state. for it had
an average attendance of SO per cent
He named over many of his pupils
among whom were Karl Mathie and
John Ringle.
The Alumni team defeated the H. S.
team, last Saturday, by score of 6-5.
Roscoe Young made a ninety yard run
for a touch down and kicked goal, scor-
ing six for the Alumni. In the second
half the H. S. made touch down on
pick-off, and johnson failed to kick
difficult goal, scoring (5) five for the
H. S.
The following is the lineup of the
two teams:

A BOYS COMPLAINT.


"When 7 was jus little boy" pa

An. if there waz some mischief up I'd

Mixed up in it worse than tn rest
Nv all tn boys in town,

Wv how him an some other boys
JUS played orfe trick,
But now, if l JUS bat eye in school
he says he'll whale

that JUS makes me sick.
A few days JUS fore Hollere'en pa

An says: INA, recollect tn time

Then up an told bout how twas

So Hollere'en done tn same, an

But pa caught on an he wuz mad
