To cigarette smokers who claim that
cigarette papers are made of rice and
are harmless, let us say to them this:
Take number of the papers and place
them in a bottle and fill the bottle with
water. A thick solution will be the
result. Take teaspoonful of this solu-
ton and pour it down the throat Of q
mouse or bird, or you can try it in
greater quantity on your pet cat or
dog, and then sit down and note their
behavior. They will go into fit and
then die.
Up in Marinette the Y. M. G. A,
which was organized in 1892, has passed
out of existence and the associations
building is closed, all on account of
lack of support by citizens. Here in
Wausau different spirit prevails and
the people are raising 100000 to erect a
new modern building for our associa-
ton. The Marinette boys building
has also gone into the hands of a re-
ceiver. The above incident just illus
trates the difference between Wausau
people and people of most other cities
of the state.

historical ship, while nearly every
American citizen traced his ancestry
back to the passengers or crew, or to
men who fought in the revolutionary
army"

pointed revolver at Fred Jaeger, of
the town of Texas, Thursday, and for
such offense was arrested and required
to pay fine of $40 and costs of action.

Jim Moore creek which passes through
land owned by Jaeger. The owner of
the land ordered him off the premises

went home and armed himself with a
hammer and pick axe and accompanied
by a son returned to drive away the
