CALLED HER A LIAR

Hans Herfurth, teacher in st. Pauls
parochial school, was arrested yester-
day at the instance of Miss Elsie Veh-
low This was one of the results of the
fight in the church building Thursday
night. 1t was alleged that Herfurth
called Miss YELLOW liar. He did not
deny the charge. He pleaded guilty
under protestations that he was justi-
fed in calling her the name he did
He was fined s. and costs.
Yesterday morning Herfurth attempt
ed to open school as usual, but found
the doors locked from the inside. The
children were there and so were many
of the parents. There was considerable
loud talk and two police officers went
there to quiet the trouble which it
seemed was brewing The officers dis
persed the people and afterward Sc
cured possession of the keys to the
school and viii retain possession of
them for the present.
There were no services in the church
Sunday. and it is not likely that there
will be as long as the pastaf is confined
to the house One of his eyes is said to
be in very bad condition.
The latest development is that the
teacher has threatened division of the
church.

in court yesterday Lehman was
brought here a5out two weeks ago,
charged with entering house in Colby

when his case was called the court APP

not guilty for the fellow and asked that
a commission be appointed to deter

questioning, determined that the man is

mind may be developed. They recon-
mended that he be sent to the Home for
Feeble Minded in Chippewa Falls and
he was removed to that institution to-

preventing employees of the HOLSTER
Lbr. Co. from hauling lumber off his

tinued to use the land Recently when
the company attempted to make settle
ment with Schlais for the use of the
land it was found impossible TO do so,
and when an effort was made to haul
the lumber away, it is said Schlais stood
guard over it with rifle and threaten
ed to perforate anyone who carried of
any lumber.
The writ of replevin was read to him
and he was informed that the Oshkosh
concern would make good any claim
he had against it. He peacefully sub

men haul the lumber away. There is

quantities that he can afford to sell
cheaper than other dealers and this

OUR DAIRY PRODUCTS.
A Farmer in Lincoln County Shows a
Great Record From Twelve Cows.

A letter received by the Marathon
County Dairy Co from a farmer at
lrma, Lincoln county. shows what bust
ness methods on dairy farm can ac-
complish. This man received from the
cream of ~ cows, during January last,
S120.19, and for the first half of Febru-
airy S64 .96. Very few Marathon county
farmers can show such results from the
same number of cows. Mr.. Blends
earnings in the northern part of Lin
coin county should show our farmers
the Importance of good dairy methods
as compared with the old hap-hazard
way of doing things.
First: He has gone into dairy breed
of cattle, mostly grade Jerseys.
Second: He keeps record of the pro-
duction and earnings of each COW and
undoubtedly has culled out his unprofit-
able cows.
Third: He must be an intelligent
feeder.
By the second plan he knows just
what his COWS are doing, and instead of
looking to the creamery for lack of
results he looks first to the farm.

Gentlemen Enclosed please find state
ment OF what my cows are doing, the
amount of milk, what it tests and the
amount of butter fat for each COW for
the month of January, 1907
There is difference of 18 pounds of
fat between my test and what you paid
me for, bnt [ think we can account for
that. There would be about twelve
pounds loss in the skim milk and we
use cream for our table, so | think you
are doing just as near right as you can,
and if you do that it is all that any one
can ask. There will probably be two or
three more shippers in a month or two
and next winter there will be more.
Butter keeps up fine

Century.
Summons came at one NJ, Tues
day, Feb. 10, 1907, at the ripe old age of
y years Mrs Louise Elizabeth Kent
was born in Alaghany county, New
York, in 1885 She moved to Wisconsin
with her parents at the age of nine
years. In 1853 she became the wife of
Asa j. Kent, and moved on the home
stead two and half miles south of Kelly,
which was her home until her death
Her demise was not unexpected as she
had been critically ill for six months.
Mrs. Kent was one of the prominent
women of the town of Weston and the
news of her death brought sorrow to
many hearts. In living here so long,
the many acts of kindness that she had
performed and the many close friend
ships made, endeared her to the whole
community. Until year ago, she en-
joyed very good health, perhaps better
than is usually md in persons of her
age, but at tn: g she was taken seri-
ously i'll and 81. nas gradually failed
until death relieved her of her sufferings.
For over fifty years she had lived in
this community and in the same house;
had seen it change from pioneer set
Element to its present condition. Dur
ing this time she had been one WHO had
rejoced with those that did rejoice and
70
for loving sympathy in sorrow as well
as more material aid
The First Presbyterian church of
Kelly, of which she was charter mem
Der, has lost great worker and friend.
She encouraged those who were work
ing hard and sought the assistance of
others and rallied force about the lit
tie church that soon placed it upon
firm foundation. She taught in the
Sunday school for over twelve years
and only gave it up when age and i'll
health FORBADE il. All who knew her
feel that they have lost dear old friend
and Grandma Kent" will be among
the good old souls who will long live in
the memory of the good people in this
part of the county. She was an inspira-
ton to any one living christian life.
So retiring and unassuming was her
life that not until the end came was it
realized how strong the ties were that
bound her to us. Her beautiful charac-
ter has exerted an influence for good
upon every life with which she came in
contact. Very dear was the clasp OF
her hand, very sweet and tender was
the expression of her tone, for the lack
of which hearts will break, but the
loneliness and sweetness of her life will
help to make real the unseen things
| upon which her loved OPS must now
depend for comfort.
Mrs. Kent is survived by her huS-
! band, two daughters and son and five
| grandchildren. The funeral was held
at the First Presbyterian church ct
Rev. S, N. Wilson, y. d., officiating.
A host of intimate friends Of the family
| paid honor to Mrs. Kent's memory by
attending. The remains were laid to
rest in Pine Grove cemetery.
| dearest dead, we saw
Thy white soul shining
Behind the face,
| Bright with the beauty and celestial.
| Glory of an immortal grace,
| In the clear morning of that other country.
In paradise, with the same face
We have loved and cherished,
| She shall arise.
| Let us be patient.
We who mourn with weeping,
| Some vanished face
| The Lord has taken to add more beauty,
| And divine grace.

NOT THIS YEAR.
The Berlin-W ausau Extension of the
Milwaukee ROAD is Postponed.

The Post is in receipt of information
from an official of the c. NJ & St. P.
Ry. Co, to the effect that the proposed
extension of its line from Berlin to
Wausau by way of this city will not be
built this year. The reasons assigned
are:
with the persistency with which
state and national legislation is being
sought for the purpose of decreasing
tho earnings and increasing the ex-
penses of operation, there is not the
slightest incentive to railway companies
to engage in any new enterprises, and
much, if not all, of the construction
work now in progress would not have
been under way if present conditions
could have been foreseen. Whatever
prospect there may have been of build
ing line from Berlin to Wausau has
been entirely dissipated by subsequent
developments in the direction indicated
above, and | have no hesitancy in say
ing to you that no such line will be
built this year, nor will the construc-
ton of any other new line be under
taken until there is cessation of that
hostile public sentiment which seems
determined to reduce to the minimum
the valuo-of present railway securities
and annihilate all demand for new
ones"
From another source of information
it is learned that the company has de-
cided to finish its Pacific coast extern
sion before undertaking any short lines,
cut-offs or extensions. w aupaca Post.
