BURIED BY COUNTY.

A stranger was buried in Colby last
week at the expense of Marathon
county, whose actions and death are &
mystery. The fellow was found one
morning on the platform of the Wis
consin Central depot. He was very
sick and when asked questions would
not or could not talk. He was locked
up in Jail and placed under the care of
physician and few days later died
without having uttered word. When
his clothes were searched for evidence
of his identity all that his pockets con-
tanned was a railroad pass from Chi
cago to Owens and naturalization
papers. 1t is presumed that he was
going to Owens to work on a branch of
railroad being built near there, but how
he came to get off the train in Colby, is
unexplained. The citizenship papers
showed his name to be Anton Perha
and they were filed out in Pueblo,

MUST BE LABELED.

Wausau people who are particular as
regards what kinds of products of the
packing houses they eat. will be pleased
to know that the new law regulating
such establishments goes into effect
Oct. 1st. Thereafter it will be a fool
hardy packer who dares to print
''potted chicken" on his cans if they
contain some other meat than fowl
The one clause which will, in the hope
of congress, benefit the public is the
requirement that all labels on meats be
indicative of the real quality and
character of the goods. No more
cotton seed oil will masquerade under
the name 'snowdrift lard" The packer
who attempts to deceive the people will
be amenable to fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for not more than two
years. When the can says pork sau-
sage it will contain no other meat,
potato flour, or other adulteration, un-
less that fact be expressly stated Un-
canned meats will be labeled, but as
they are bought in pieces, the general
public will not become acquainted
with these labels. All animals will be
examined before and after killing.
Packers must obtain certificates to be
sent to each consiguee showing that
the meat or by-product has been prop
erly labeled. The law applies particu-
larly to meat which is to be shipped,
but it goes so far as to include butchers
doing retail business. For willful
violation of the law these may be ar
rested and fined not more than 81 ,00O
or imprisoned not more than one year.

OUR COUNTRY CLUB.
0 THE Ep1roR oE rHE PILor:

10 THE EDITOR OF THE Pilot:
The wisdom of forming a country
club in Wausau is probably not very
apparent to most of our citizens. One
reason is that we are busy people and
rather inclined to look upon any time
devoted to recreation during working
days as squandered. In other words
many of us have not fully learned how to
enjoy ourselves in a reasonable way.
Another reason is that some of US, who
appreciate the value of proper recrea-
ton, even from business stand
point, have learned to take yearly
summer vacation of considerable dura-
ton, usually in our delightful northern
lake country, from which we return to
work with added energy until our next
vacation. 1t is plan that has much to
recommend it, but it is not fiawless.
To begin with, it is not feasible plan
in many instances. But where it is so
the arrangement is incomplete. There
are occasional days when half holiday
or even less is worth almost as much as
a regular vacation. This is so because
it is taken on the spur of the moment
as the spirit moves and without the
alloy of premeditation. But recreation
can not be taken in that way without
the immediate means at hand for doing
so. Sometimes drive or horseback
ride fills the bill, aud in some favored
locations there are opportunities for
various short pleasure trips, but none
of these things are so well adapted to
the purpose of supplying healthful
recreation on tap as well ordered
country club. A country club conven-
iently located is a most satisfactory
point for drive or ride or bicycle
run. 1t supplies country home for
each of its members. 1t brings them
together on its porches and grounds
and under its trees in natural manner.
1t affords delightful out-of-door recrea-
tion of various kinds, including the
noble and fascinating and ancient game
of golf, for all ages. 1t provides means
for occasional relief from the cares of
house keeping or for entertaining guests
through dinner at the club house.
If such club is formed in Wausau it
can add the delights of boating and
bathing in Lake Wausau to these at
fractions. 1t is altogether likely, also,
that some of its members would find it
to their advantage to build modest cot
tages in the neighborhood of the club
house in which to spend an occasional
holiday unvexed by the trouble of
housekeeping, since the club house
would supply that. Finally it is likely
that its grounds could be selected at
a point so near the city that they could
be reached in walk of quarter of an
hour, and thus be unique for conven-
fence and accessibility.
Wausau is too progressive and pros
porous to be se4tiIout an institution that
is the hall mark of an up-to-date town.
We are bound to have country club
some day-now is the time to organize
it to the best advantage.

Up to date few hunters are to be
seen in the woods and all appear 10 be
waiting until colder weather. AS yet
there have been no frosts to remove
the leaves from the trees and under
present conditions it is hard to see
game. 1t may be several weeks before
we have killing frost and il may not
be day. Until we do, the partridge
and rabbit will have some rest. In the
meantime the game warden will travel
about the country inspecting" the
county clerks records to see how the
huntirg license fees are coming along,
and at the same time to swell their
expense account.
One of the patients of the county
asylum ran away from that institution
Thursday morning and came up town.
He wandered about the city for time,
taking in the sights He approached
party of men and tried to negotiate
loan of 1000, 100000 with which he
informed them be would build a line of
railroad from New York City to Liver
pool. Eng. When the party informed
him that they did not happen to have
quite that amount of money in their
jeans that morning, he sauntered over
to the court house He followed
several other people up stairs into the
court room and was pacing back and
forth within the court officers railing
when he was "collared' by an officer
and removed from the room 1t was
later learned that the man had escaped
from the asylum and he was returned
by the officers.

A FINE WATER.

The people of Wausau are inter-
ested in knowing where to obtain
a water that is the best; a pure
water. and one that can be relied
on as being ever the same. Until our
new wells are built ana the growth in
the mains are cleared out, this interest
will he kept up. While nearly eysry
one VIII be using spring water of soLle
kind for a time, at least, more or less
will always use it in Wausau. The
question is, where can the best be had?
Every state has its famous springs; for
years one of the most prominent has
been the one at Waukesha. 1t has
been determined that close to Wausau
is spring whose waters are fully as
pure as those of Waukesha. tbs known
as the Alta spring water. This is no
Idle boast, for the waters have been
repeatedly analyzed and found as pure
and healthful as any on the con-
tinent. The spring is at Duntield,
Wis, some fifteen miles above Merrill,
and gushes out from the bottom of a
large hill in quantity sufficient to
supply the whole country. The flow is
ever the same. This spring has been
famous in Northern Wisconsin for many
years, but it was not, until few years
ago, that an attempt was made to put
this purest of spring water on the
ms ~ H. - J1lI
have been invested to put it up in its
natural state, carbonated, etc., and it is
shipped to every part of the United
States. 1t is put up for use in cities
close by, such as Merrill, Wausau and
other places, in large cans, reaching
here the same day or not later than
twenty-four hours after being taken
from the spring. 1t is certainly the
best and cheapest water for Wausau
people to use.
The men Who operate it are we'll
known to our people; are reputable
gentlemen who are looking to the
future and all can depend upon what
they say of the water as being the abso-
lutte truth. We take the following
in reference to the Alta waters from a
Merrill paper;
"The Alta Spring Co. is increasing
by leaps and bounds. 1t is matter of
local pride that we do not have to send
several hundred miles to secure pure
spring waters, but we have it close at
hand. The Alta spring has grown
from a small industry to large and
fourishing one, and this due wholly to
the fact that people have discovered
for themselves the benefcent quality of
Alta spring water 1t is clear and
sparkling, and tastes as it looks-abso-
lutely pure. 1t comes bottled and is
shipped in cases to any part of the
state. The Alta Springs Co. is an in
stitution that is here to stay on its
merits.'
The PILOT is not paid one cent for
this article it has not been asked to
write a line about the spring, but it
feels that it is doing the right thing to
call the attention of it's readers to
water that is put on the market that is
known to be absolutely pure, and the
truth of which assertion anyone can
find out for himself without a waste
OF ten minutes time.

INDIANS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Although Not Citizens, the Red Men
Must Keep Their
Contracts,

Guthrie, Okla.-Judge Bayard T.
Hainer, sitting in the United States
district court at Pawhuska, has de-
cided that his lack of citizenship does
not relieve an Indian from paying his
debts or carrying out any contract
into which he has entered. In the case
at issue white man had done some
work for an Indian, and the latter re-
fused to pay, claiming that as he was
an Indian no contractural power was
vested in him; that he could not be
forced to pay the debt, as he was in
the same legal state as an infant.
The court held after a full hearing
that with the exception of contracts
relating to lands and annuities, the
Indians, although sustaining tribal re-
lations, can contract and sue and be
sued; that it was the policy of the
government to educate the Indians and
to teach them to transact business and
become self-sustaining, and to hold
otherwise would be contrary to public
policy. He further held that there is
no act of congress which forbids ordi-
nary contracts being entered into by an
Indian and their enforcement in the
courts of the United States.

Honey in Texas.

The production of honey in Texas
this season is greater than for many
years. This is due to the remarkably
favorable weather and to the in
creased number of bee colonies.
Uvalde county, west of San Antonio,
is the leading honey producing section
of the United States. There are more
colonies Of bees in that county than
in any other in America. The open
winter, coupled with copious rains,
has made 1t possible for the bees to
store honey during practically the en-
tire winter. and the result is that
there has been constant marketing
of the product this season through the
months that usually are not pro-
ductive of profit for beekeepers.
