COST OF POOR.

| Wausau is fortunate in not having
many poor; it also has good system OF
taking care of its INDECENT and has a
competent superintendent. Some fam
| lilies during an ordinary winter can
squeeze through without calling for help
but when bitter cold comes and hangs on
for weeks they are forced to ask assist
ance. Men and women who are all
alone in this world find haven of rest
in the county poor house in their old
age, when they are physically incapa-
bic of performing any manual labor,
but with the man or woman with chill
dren it is different During the past
year, Wausau's population has material
ly increased yet it is a surprising fact
that our poor have decreased We
have very few of this class in proper
ton to the population, yet if the pres
ent price of eggs holds out much4onger
and delinquent subscribers fail to pay
up, we fear a few newspaper men will
increase the number before spring. In

partially repaid in caring for some
couples because they have decided their
property to the city in consideration
that they be furnished with the neces-
saries of life as long as they draw
breath. Cases have been found where
people were too proud to ask assist
ance although these cases are rare. 4
few have tried to get aid from the city
who were not entitled to it and these
cases also are few in number. The
worst trials the poor commissioner has
is when Wausau charge turns up in
another town. The bills coming from
the department in those towns invaria-
bly, cause trouble. The cost of'main-
tanning our poor is very small. Some
aid is given by citizens near the holi-
days but the average cost, year in and
year out is small in comparison with
other cities The cost in winter is
naturally larger than in summer Here
are the figures for the past year:

ANOTHER RECORD.

Two more of Fred RietbrocK's herd
of Gurnseys on his Helendale farm
near Athens have finished tests for but
ter fat and one has established a new
worlds record in her class and the
other has made very creditable show
ing. Standards Morning Glory began
the test Jan. Sd, 1905, and during the
year yielded 12,9i7 pounds of milk
which produced ia Oh pounds of butter
fat or l1S 66 pounds over the record.
This COW is young and bids fair to in a
few years rival, if not surpass, the
worlds record made in the aged COW
class by Yeksa Sunbeam, another of
Mr. Riethrock's herd Electrical start
ed under the test Jan 1st, 1905, and by
Dec. 3lst had produced II, 1864 pounds
of milk yielding 6l3.39 pounds of
butter fat which puts her sixth in the
aged COW class Both of the cows
which have just finished the test have
strain of blood running from the
prize cows of the choice herd of the
late N. x. Fairbanks, the millionaire
soap manufacturer Prominent stock
men claim there are other cows which
ought to equal the records made by
Mr.. Rietbrock's animals but that the
latter have the advantage of ex-
perienced attendants and choice feed,
for which their owner ought to be
given credit. If it is the feeding, then
praise is due to Marathon county
grasses, which are acknowledged to be
the best in the world. But Mr. Riet-
brock says, You can't feed a stick.
Without being well bred, these cows
would never have made these very sat
isfactory records"

The crow is said to be a reliab lie
weather prophet and to regulate his
migrations according to the prospects
of the fall. If the signs indicate a
severe winter the crow goes south, if a
mild winter he remains. This year
man crows remain which would lend
confirmation to the hope of a mild
season. The crow rarely makes a
mistake of any kind and few are ever
killed or TRAPPED. The normal life period
of the bird is said to be, one hundred
years.-Ex.

There is a probability that Beloit will

its place. Fond du Lac, one of the

ing strong bid for a franchise and it is
quite likely that Mr. Powers trip

Wichits, Kan, Jan. S.-This city
is to have separate schools for white
and negro children. Action toward
this end-w taken -hy the seheel
board. Bonds Tor the erection ofnew
buildings and additions to some OF

The agitation for separate school
buildings for the negro children OF
the city has been on for several years.
but the school board heretofore has
refused to act on the question. There
was no dissent among the members.
The plan embraces the erection OF q
High School as we'll as graded

very strong and leading negro polit-
