THE MODERN WOMAN.

At Newport this summer the women
have taken to wearing boas Of flowers in
lieu Of those OF feathers and the dainty
colors Of the artificial blossoms add much
TO the becomingness Of the gown. One Of
the prettiest was Of pink roses, the short
neck piece being OF the solid flowers. Long
streamers Of satin ribbon Of the same shade
fell from the ends of the boa nearly to the
hem Of the dress, the ends OF each Of which
were finished with a single blossom.

PECULIAR CHARACTERS.

I'VE have had some peculiar charac-
tiers up in our section, said A. o.
Empey, WauSau business man, at the
Republican house, 'but none whose
strange actions created greater interest
than hermit who for three years lived
in hut on the Wisconsin river bank
about five miles below our city.
He lived there alone, and the hut he
occupied still remains. He allowed his
hair and beard to grow untrimmed and
dressed in manner that excited atten-
ton, his usual costume being an old
silk hat and black frock coat. His pro-
visions and mail were brought to him
by neighbor, whom he paid for the
service, but to whom he never confided
anything in regard to himself.
Different curious people visited his
place and tried to gain some knowledge
of the mans past, but were unsuceess-
full. His mail all came inclosed in the
stationery of Chicago law firm. His
bearing, his brief but curt responses to
those who made overtures to him, left
no doubt but what he was a man who
had filled some prominent position.
Zone day he disappeared as mysteri-
ously and quietly as he had come. 1
have been wandering ever since if he
was not one of those mysterious disap.
pearances' we frequently hear of in the
newspapers. milwaukee, Sentinel.

SAYS He HAULED MAIL.

Last week an old pioneer of this
county was brought down from Villas
county and placed in our poor house to
remain the balance of his DAYS. He is
Steve LaPorte, who lived here in the
SOS but who of late years has been a
wanderer, making his home wherever
he hung his hat. LaPorte is now past
70 years of age and claims that he was
engaged in an early day in hauling
mail through to Lake Superior by dog
team. An old settler whom we CUES
toned on this subject doubts LaPorte's
story and says that Sam Bell was het
only one who used dog team for such
work. This old resident also stated
that in the winter of 1853 a vessel was
frozen solid in the ice near Ontonogan.
Mich, and that the crew came through
overland to Wausau and then continued
south. The steward of this crew was a
negro, the first one to set foot in this
territory. DR.. H. d. Single, who now
lives in Amigo, was then little boy and
the negro was the first one he had seen
and greatly excited his curiosity
Hank circled around the black man
several times, surveying him, and
finally addressed the Ethiopian with,

STEWART BRITTlNGHAM.

Cards were received in Wausau the
past week announcing the marriage OF
Miss Mary Elizabeth Stewart, of this
city, to Mr.. Beverly Marvin Drifting.
ham, of New York City. The event took
place on Wednesday, February 18th,
1905, in Trinity church, San Francisco.
1t was very quiet affair, only relatives
and few intimate friends being pres
emit. Mr.. and Mrs. Birmingham went
to Monterey to spend their honey
moon. They will return to San Fran
cisco and then go to New York City to
reside and will be ut home to their
friends after April 10th, at 1862 River
side Drive.
The bride is the second daughter of
ex-CoDgressman and Mrs. Alexander
Stewart, of this city. She has resided
in Wausau all her life except when at
tending school and travelling and is
very highly esteemed by all who know
her. The groom has often visited our
city and has many warm friends here.

STABBED EIGHT TIMES.

e. V. Alderman, a justice of the
peace and who for many years has
represented the town of Eldron on the
county board, tried Saturday afternoon
to raake pork chops of Jas. Beedee, also
a resident of that town. Itappears that
the two men met in saloon in the vii
lage of Elderon and became en-
broiled in a quarrel over politics.
Alderman had been candidate for
reelection to the office of town chair
man last spring but was defeated and
this matter was brought into the
quarrel. Blows were exchanged in the
saloon and Alderman went out. At
this point ii the story two stories be-
gin. Alderman claims he went out to
get away from his assailant and later
returned to the saloon thinking the
trouble had passed, when he was again
attacked He was knocked or thrown
down and was being pummeled when
he pulled out his pocket knife and
slashed Beedee across the back and
arms eight times.
Others, however, say that Alderman
first tried to borrow revolver of the
proprietor. 1t was refused him and he
was admonished to be careful. He
went away but soon returned with
knife in his hand Beedee walked over
to him and in a moment the two were
in on All
vigorously welding his knife. After
the trouble was over the wounded man
was cared for and physician who was
called found that the man had been
slashed eight times and that two of the
wounds were very dangerous and may
prove fatal as. the lung tissues have
been severed
After the fight Alderman hitched up
his horse and with his wife drove
home. Later he came to Wausau and
surrendered himself to the sheriff La
coming up on the train from Eland Jet.
he is alleged to have expressed satisfac-
ton at what he had done.
He engaged M. B. Rosenberg as an
attorney and with the sheriff the two
went down yesterday to the scene of
the fight for the purpose of cleaning
facts regarding the case.
Mr.. Alderman is known to many
residents of this city and to those who
know him intimately his act of Satur-
day cannot be accounted for He is an
old man, a veteran of the civil war
While he is companionable man he is
also, rather quiet in his actions and
one would never suspect him of being
quarrelsome. Those who were wit
nesses of the fight say that Alderman
had not been drinking and that his at
tempt at making ribbons of the other
fellow was from sober deliberation.
1t is likely that no charge will be
brought against him until the out
come of Beedee's condition can be
determined.

Feb. 10, $780, o. G. Callies purchased
his present business at time when it
was run down and at the outset began

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL NOTES,

The work in stock-judging has been
| completed, in so far as the herds are
visited Much work is yet to be done
in the textbooks on sheep, swine and
horses. This has been very profitable
work to the classes. The types and
standards are learned from the books
and comparisons of these are made
with the animals actually found on the
farms. This is the main work in all
otock-judging, whether done by stu
dents or experts.
Work in the dairy will be taken up
next week using the milk separators
and Babcock test. The school has two
separators, the U. S. and DeLaval and
a six weeks course will be given in the
running of these and the care of milk
and cream on the farm.
Apple tree pruning will soon COM
mence now and the principles of graft
ing and planting will be taken up.
The second year class of boys are
progressing rapidly with the principles
of annual breeding and the care of
animals in sickness and in health.
The school is soon to purchase the
instruments necessary for the testing
of COWS for tuberculosis and also for
treating milk fever This work can be
done by any person who has received
training in the school hereafter.
The last meetings held by the school
faculty in the towns CT Cassel and Rib
Falls respectively were very well at
tended and promises of more students
for next year were received from both
places The farmers are giving their
support to the school now as never be-
fore which promises well for the
| future.
SHOP NOTES.
The first year boys are now at work
| finishing a class room desk for Mr..
Johns, and this class is also about to
| begin work on a cardfile for the office
Besides this some of the boys are at
work on chairs, tables, and other
pieces of furniture for themselves.
The second year boys have finished
the plans for the new barn and all now
working on plans for farm buildings.
These boys have just finished painting
the wagon for the school. The second
year class is now at work in the forge
shop making complete set of tools
for a farm blacksmith shop. These
boys have also finished a few nice
pieces of furniture for themselves.
All places that can be occupied are
now taken and everything is progress
ing very nicely.
The girls of the 1st year sewing class
are greatly interested in learning to
make clothes for children. They are
worIing on underclothing and dresses
for children from to 5 years old and
consider it easier work than sewing on
larger pieces. They have nearly all
finished making underskirts for them
selves and will soon begin on waists
We are greatly in need of enc or two
more sewing machines as those that
| we have are busy all the time and one
or two girls are generally waiting for
them.
End year girls are finishing dress
skirts; two were finished last week and
the girls begin work on the waists to-
day. That will make complete wool
dress, every part done by the girls in
Guiding drafting, cutting and making.
The work in millinery will begin in
| March.
The cooking classes are having les
sons in frying. They are making rice,
potato and fish croquettes and fritters
and doughnuts.

not find place on his shelves and he
has in consequence one of the best pat
ronized substantial business houses in
this section. He buys direct from the
factory and can therefore undersell
competitors and give his customers a
superior article. There are few people
in this community who do not know

deal with him. He is this year making
preparations to give his customers
better bargains than ever and thus
make record breaking year of bust
