solid brick school house in the village.

Local dealers have been shipping
evergreen out of the city of late. Most
of it goes to the Chicago market, though
some is shipped to eastern cities There
is considerable traffic in this COM
modify this fall owing to the season.
The crop is plentiful and the snow has
held off so long that people have had
plenty of opportunity to gather it.
While only few cents per pound is
paid for it, farmer and his children
can make good wages gathering it.
Two hundred pounds will net him
about so. Evergreen is used for
decorative purposes and large quanti-
ties are consumed in the large cities
annually, some dealers making spec

Wausau was visited week ago by
fellow who claimed to have resided in
San Francisco during the earthquake
and fire which destroyed that city. He
also claimed that he walked all the dis
lance from the coast to Wausau. He
further claimed to be Il painter and
cobbler by occupation and found work
in G, F. Bismark's shop. He worked
few days, collecting his pay each even
ing, but he is now serving Jail SEN
teuce because of too strenuous resist
ance when police officer arrested him
for begging on the streets. The fellow
is dwarf being little over four feet
in height, but the officer and Herman
Marquardt, the hack driver, who gave
the officer assistance, had their hands
full when arresting him. He fought like
demon. Brodi, as he calls himself,
is somewhat of cannibal, as Mar
quardt can testify. He bit chunk of
flesh out of the latter's arm and the sore
has given Herman much pain and
anxiety
