WILL KAlSE SHEEP.

Duncan Bros, who conduct a stock
farm northeast of the city, will, in adj
dition to raising Shorthorn cattle, try
the experiment of caring for flock of
sheep during the coming season. Some
time ago they bought the Wintergreen
farm of 100 acres. This farm is farm
in name only, for it is covered with
growth of brush, which has no market
value and hinders cultivation. For the
purpose of clearing the land they have
bargained for four car loads of sheep
in Montana and the animals will be
shipped here the latter part of April or
early in May and placed on the land.
If the experiment meets with the result
expected they will winter over a suf-
ficient number to start fine flock the
following spring. The land is well
adapted to sheep raising. 1t is high,
try and stony, thus insuring immunity
from foot rot and other diseases pecul-
lar to sheep.
There will be more sheep raised in
Northern Wisconsin this year than ever
before. The Edgerton parties who
pastured 5000 head on lands near
Harshaw last season will this year in
crease the number to 5000 1t is said
the owners cleared from 81, 900 to 100000
on last summers experiment and
would have done better had they
brought the sheep north few weeks
later.

NEXT MUM Der.

The next number of the Y Nj. G.. A.
winter course of entertainments will
be Isabel Carghill Beecher in interpre-
tive recitals, who will appear in the
opera house tomorrow evening, March,
21st. OF her, Murat Haistead, the great
American biographer, says:
81 have had the satisfaction of hear
ing Isabel Carghill Beecher recite be-
fore a vast Chautauqua assembly selec-
tions of the liveliest humor and deepest
pathos, and there was an easy COM
mand of the immense audience in her
voice, and her grace and brilliant but
sober force and simplicity of art made
up fascinating picture and perform
ance rare and radiant. she is attrac-
lively dramatic without being theatri-
cal, and in every style of story there is
charm all her own"
Hon j. p Dolliver, of Iowa, who has
appeared before a Wausau audience
under the auspices of the Y. M G. A.,
also has the following to say of her:
'Mrs. Beecher has done more to give
life and heart to the public reading than
any of our present day elocutionists.
Her art has a charm and fascination
beyond the genius of either the plat
form or the stage of today. In her
reading of "Quo Vadis' she gave that
great assembly new sensation-the
sensation that makes one wandering
among pictures fear to go on least the
lofty impression of the masterpiece be
lost'
The next and concluding number
will be Russell H. Conwell, author and
orator, who will appear here April 18th

STATE AID CUT.

A new law, or new ruling, cuts
down the state aid heretofore given to
county and district fair associations
this year to very serous degree. AS
at present construed, the 40 per cent
state aid for speed purses, ball games,
band contests, and similar features OF
the ordinary fair must not exceed the
40 per cent aid given on premiums
actually paid for exhibits of live stock,
farm produce, etc. An itemized state
ment must be Incorporated in the an
nual report to the secretary of state, on
which the state aid is based. Before
this, the fair received 40 per cent state
aid on all premiums paid-speed pre-
miums and all in that line, being added
to the premiums for farm exhibits,
etc.
This affects every fair association in
the state receiving state aid and puts
some of them badly in the hole, finan-
cially

OFFER HOSPITAL SITE.

The Sisters of the Divine Savior, who
last fall assumed charge of the River.
side hospital and renamed it st. Mary
hospital, have been made a generous
offer of a hospital site by the firm OF
Brown, Pradt q Gilbert Last fall the
latter firm purchased the east side
farm OF r. Z. Parcher, the southern
portion of which they will have plated
for city lots. They offer four acres of
the north portion to the sisters for a
hospital site, the matter of location to
be left to the sisters. Before they
accept they must get permission from
Rome and have written for such per-
mission, which no doubt will be
granted. The west portion of the land
from which the site is to be chosen
fronts on a shady road way running
along the rivers bank. Jim Moore
creek is at the north. The land for the
most part is covered with a growth of
timber and the hospital would be
afforded with a natural park. The site,
barring the distance from the city, is
an ideal one, but the matter of distance
perhaps will rot enter into considera-
ton, for assurances are given that a
street railway will be constructed to the
grounds the coming summer.
When the sisters came to Wausau last
December they announced as their
intention the plan to build a large
hospital-one which would perhaps
cost in the neighborhood of 800, ,000
Since then, we learn, they have
received much encouragem ent from
citizens, and it is quite likely that at
some early date an effort will be made
to finance the proposition.
