KNEW WHEREOF HE SPOKE.

J The following statement, which ap-
peared in the Milwaukee Free Press, is
credited to a man named 5 A Mertins,
! who claimed Wausau as his home.
| We don't know the mantle city
| directory shows no such name-but it
does not matter, for what he said of
our city is true. Here's his interview
You won't find many people who
have been in Wausau who will not adj
NIT that it is the prettiest little city in
the state. While the city makes no
claim to be metropolis, there are not
many of the larger cities that can beat
it.
Streets all through the city are well
paved, making most attractive drives
for the horseman as well as for the
automobile enthusiast. There is an
abundance of money in Wausau, due
to the many retired lumbermen who
make their homes there. The city also
has a number of thriving manufactur-
ing industries that add to its wealth.
Il haven't seen town of its
size that has as many fine build
ings as Wausau has There are
many beautiful homes, fine schools
and fine churches Wausau is the
seat of Marathon county and has
one of the finest court houses 70 be
found anywhere. A new library is now
being finished, the new post Office was
completed only last fall, there are some
elegant club houses and plans are be-
ing made for new Y. M. G.. A. build
ing. The city is being improved right
along.
''There has been talk of street car
system for some time, but nothing has
come out of it. We expect, however,
that it will not be great while before
we have an interurban line connect
ing Wausau with Marshfield, Stevens
Point, Merrill Grand Rapids and other
surrounding cities. Wausau has many
transient guests all the time, but
especially in the summer time, when
the people from other cities are going
to and from the lakes up at Minoqua,
Woodruff and other resort towns. The
city is also a popular place with the
travelling men and many of them make
a habit of spending their Sundays
there"

Modest Claims Often Garry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven-
tor, placed his gun before committee
of judges, he stated its carrying power
to be much below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result of
the trial was therefore a great surprise,
instead of disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy. They do not publicly boast of all
this remedy will accomplish, but prefer

That tho royal leaders urge tho pope to
support tho religious movement in France.
That the pope granted an interview TO the

THE people I'm this case said Mr.. David,
"claim that the Standard OIL company of
New Jersey now owns the stock OF the
subsidiary companies. each one dependent
upon the other and right now doing busi-
ness among us. We have shown that
these same gentlemen-John d. Rookie
feller, William Rockefeller. Flager, Arch

nine original trustees in the trust"
The STANDARD Oil trust agreement Of

who followed MIR. David was responsible
for every trust on this continent-it was

The laws OF Ohio require he continued,
that the STANDARD oil company Of New

companies. must come here and do busi-
ness In it's own name All that we can re.
qu.rs is that Il shall cease to defy the

the Valentine law was being violated.
