LOGGING CONDITIONS.

up in our part of the state the log
ging companies are awaiting a good fall
OF snow to begin their annual hauling
operations and it won't be long now be-
fore the mills begin running, said H. l..
Burns, Wausau, Wis, at the hotel Blatz.
Already the logging companies are
sending men into the woods, but are ex-
periencing some difficulty in getting
men enough for the work to be done.
Just what's responsible for the scarcity
of labor | don't know, but there's no
getting away from the fact that it exists
More m IN are wanted everywhere and
while TIE employment agencies in the
cities have been sending out some men,
good many more could be used. Seems
as if the men nowadays are afraid of a
little hard work, but logging is good,
healthy occupation and it never did any
one any harm.
THE supply of pine is growing scare
er year by year and there will not be
nearly so much cut this year as there
was last season. The lumber industry
in our part of the state will be a dead
one before many years more have passed
and its place will be taken by agri-
cultural pursuits and dairying There
is considerable hemlock on the farms in
Marathon county, but that, too, will be
gone before long. Some timber already

A. c. CAMPBELL KILLS DR..
B. F. HARRIS.

Last Friday afternoon, former citi-
zens of Amigo were the participants in
an affair which created a great sensa-
ton in Chicago. A. g. Campbell of
Polar, Wis, which is near Amigo, and
DR.. +. B. Harris, former physician of
Amigo, ana others met on the 10th floor
of the Stock Exchange building. 1t
seems that the former was very jealous
of the DR.. for some time. DR.. Harris
established an Office in Amigo about s
years ago; he was single man and was
the Campbells' family physician. In
formation reached Campbell that con-
nected the name of his wife with that of
DR.. Harris, and his domestic life from
that time is said to have been unhappy
he was given to brooding over his troub-
les, it is declared, and finally sought
a separation from his wife. The latter
has filed an answer in the case and has
arranged to contest it.
DR.. Harris was married three years
ago and lived with his wife for two and a
half years. When she obtained divorce
last November, she accused him of
cruelty. At that time the name of Mrs.
Campbell was brought into the case,
but the decree was granted on the
ground of cruelty.
Campbell believed that Mrs. Harris
knew something concerning the alleged
relations between his wife and DR.. Har-
ris, and it was for that reason he sought
to obtain her testimony last Friday for
use in his suit for divorce. DIR. Harris
learned that she intended to testify be-
companying Attorney Finucane to the
office. When they reached the office
DR.. Harris stepped toward Campbell as
if to greet him, when quick flash
Campbell drew his revolver, and with
out saying word began firing at Dr.
Harris. The bullet passed through the
latter's left hand and entered his groin.
On the second shot DR. Harris was
wounded in the intestines, and he
turned and ran from the Office. Three
more shots were fired in the hall. two
of them taking effect. Campbell has
made this statement:
'He blasted my happiness and broke
up my home. If | didn't kill him |
ought to have done So"
Campbell was arrested and is now in
custody in Chicago.
sit is retribution Of God, /" the ex-wife
of DR.. Harris declared. ''He deserved
just what he got | knew something
like this would happen, and at last
it has come. What would you do if the
destroyer of your home came up to your
Wouldn't you do just as Campbell did,
OF course you would. That man has
ruined homes for fifteen years. For
over two years lived with him, and he
treated me brutality l suffered every
thing until | could stand it no longer"
DR. Harris died on Sunday night.

GREECE.

The lecture delivered Friday night by
Prof. c. G. Parlin was largely attended
His topic was Greece and it proved
highly interesting. Last summer, dur
ing his travels through Europe Mr. Par
lin visited the land of the ancient
Athenians and was much impressed with
the sights of old ruins, the climate, etc.
Regarding the latter it can be said that
it differs from that of almost any other
country, in the fact that it never rains
and the sky is almost always cloudless.
Mr.. Parlin collected many photograph
ic views of interesting scenes and
these he had made into lantern slides,
and used them for the first time Friday
evening. Mr.. Parlin is an observing
man, like a news reporter, and being
gifted with powers to describe things as
they are, and in a comprehensive and
and easily understood way, we can say
that his lecture, aided by the lantern
slide views, was highly entertaining and
instructive, and that covers it all. 1t is
probable that he will be prevailed upon
to give additional lectures on last sum-
mer's travels, at some future time.

GOOD WATER SOON.

1t is expected that in about two
weeks time, sufficient number of the
city's drive wells will be connected so
that the new supply of water can be
turned into the mains Some people
are of the opinion that they are now
using the new supply, but they are mis-
taken. 1t is expected that when the
water from the new wells is run
through the mains for time, loosening
up of the pipe-clogging growth will
take place, causing the water to have
muddy appearance. To obviate this as
much as possible it is proposed to in
augurate system of frequent flushing.
The mains are very much in need OF
flushing at present, as was witnessed
after the fire Friday night, when the
water was of the color of cocoa. Over
half of the wells it is proposed to con-
meet this winter are already joined by
pipe to the main pipe which is connect
ed with the engines.

LECTURE POSTPONED.

The lecture on wireless Telegra-
ply" which was to have been given in
the Presbyterian church last evening
by HI. j. Evans, under the auspices of
the Mems League, had to be postponed
because of the fact that Mr.. Evans had
not received certain parts of his appar-
atus necessary to make the experiments
a success. The lecture will be given
some time in January.
F. L. Hudson, president of the Mems
League, says in reference to the lecture:
'The Mems League accepts the situa-
ton and assures its friends that the
merits of the demonstration will war
rant large attendance when the date
is fixed upon. Tickets already sold will
be honored at that time or money re-
funded if desired:

KILLED BY TRAIN.

Henry Butler, brother of Theodore
Butler of this city, was killed Friday
morning near his home at Elm Grove
by G. M. & st. P. train. Mr.. and Mrs.
Butler departed for Elm Grove Satur-
day evening to attend the funeral In
company with neighboring farmer,
Henry Butler went to Elm Grove that
morning for the purpose of weighing a
wagon, preparatory to taking some pigs
to market and on their return were
struck at the crossing and instantly
killed. Their wagon was reduced to
splinters and the fragments thrown
high in the air, but, strange to say, the
team was not injured. One of the
mems bodies was thrown up on the
pilot and remained there until the train
stopped. Every bone in their bodies
was broken. Mr.. Butler has visited his
brothers family in Wausau and is
known here The crossing, it is said,
has furnished victim every year for
fifteen years.

THE WAUSAU PILOT.

Forty-one years old The Wausau
PILOT had a birthday last week, and we
take this occasion to congratulate its
progressive editor, Mr. Thayer. Nearly
half a century the PILOT has pointed
the way for its readers, has laughed
and sOrrowed and philosophical, has
admonished and stormed and beseech-
ed-has been a mentor, counselor,
teacher and friend, and for twenty
two years of that time Mr. Thayer has
been the guiding personality of this
bright paper. The intangible some
thing that stands out of newspaper
and makes it seem like the dear familiar
face of a friend, has left its trace upon
the PLoT 1t has a distinct individ-
uality Of its own and among those who
hold warm fraternal feeling for the
PLoT can be numbered The Merrill
Advocate.

LINCOLN SCHOOL. NOTES.

BY an extra effort the following
pupils of room A have succeeded in
securing 100 in spelling during the past
month; Veneta Beck, George Laabs,
Estella Berger, Elsie Wo lfgram, Myrtle
Harding, Emma Zahn, Harvey Taylor.
The pupils who were neither absent
nor tardy were granted their usual
quarter of day holiday last Friday
Gladys Davis, who has been staying
with her grandparents at Beaver Dam,
has returned to her home and is en-
rolled in room G..
The icy slide, which has been the
source of amusement for the children
since the snow came, was spoiled by
the application of sand by few mis-
chievous boys.
According to the usual custom the
report cards were distributed to all
children in the building Monday noon.
The boys in manual training are at
present interested in a new model
which they hope will develop into
Christmas gift.
The manual training exhibit from
the Oshkosh normal was exhibited on
the upper floor of the Lincoln building
last week. The children were very
much interested in it and no doubt
gained much from studying it.
Elsie Wolfgram, Emma Buntrock,
Selma Bentz, Emma Schwentkofski
Veneta Beck, Estella Berger, Eva
Hietl, Nina Nelson, Ernest Sommer-
field, Claude Smock, of room A, were
those to receive E in department. We

TELEPHONE PROTECTION.

Alfred p. Jones, advisory agent of
the board of Underwriters for Wau-
sau, has asked of the local telephone
company that the telephone wires
entering business places and public
buildings, be supplied with protectors
so that lightning or electricity from
electric light wires may be diverted and
grounded, and thereby prevented from
doing any harm. A meeting of the
directors was held last Wednesday
and s resolution was passed to put on
the protectors. 1t viii require the
placing of what is called Sub
scriber's station protector, on the
telephone wire where it enters the
building. 1t viii take some time to
get the protectors here and then after
that month or more to get them in
place.

THA1ER DESERVES THE Sue
CESS THAT is HIS.
With the issue this week of the WAU-
sAU PILOT, it enters upon the forty
second year of its existence, and Editor
Thayer is perfectly justified in contem-
plating with complacency the history
and work of that paper. Commencing
in 1865 as a compositor for the Wiscon-
sin River Valley Pilot, edited by Valen-
tine Ringle, Mr.. Thayer worked up
from the lower round to the great pro-
fession of journalism, taking possession
of the paper in 1884, as its editor and
proprietor, and little later changing
the name to the WAUsAU Pilot. The
history of the paper has been a COM
mendable one, through tie entire man
agement of its present editor. 1t is
recognized as one of the best edited,
most conservative, and up-to-date week
ly newspapers of the state. Mr.. Thayer
has won the respect of his constituents,
been credit to his party. and in his
passing this birthday anniversary, the
Daily Record can honestly express its
sentiments by wishing that his shadow
may never grow less. '-Wausau Daily
