Mr.. Boyer was born in Watertown,

of age enlisted in Co. X, Twenty Ninth

THE BILL BOARDS.

In Grand Rapids, those who love to
see their city improved and beautified
have taken up the fight against the un-
slightly bill boards. and they hope to
work enough public sentiment against
them TO have them removed. Wausau
can never be made city beautiful un-
til bill boards are removed. Every
where they obstruct the view. They
are mess of filth with their accumuia-
tions of paste and old bills and st the
base of each, the dropping of paste torn
goodly sized piles which emit smells
that are as rank as those which come
from slaughter house. Our people
have become SO used to this that
the pass along without Civ
ing the matter a thought except
to occasionally hold their breath.
Those interested in beautifying our
city should get after the bill board
nuisance.

PASSED RESOLUTION.

At a recent meeting of the s.hrary
board the resignation of Miss NelliS
Silverthorn as Librarian was considered
As Miss Silverthorn informed the board
that her term of service had been Sc
long she desired a release from her
duties, there was no other action for
board to take than to accept the resig-
nation, though the board did SO un-
willingly. During the years Miss
Silverthorn has been librarian she has
performed her duties with efficiency
and ability and in recognation of such
the board passed the following resolu-
ton:
WHEREAS, our highly esteemed Ii
brarian, Miss Nellie SIlverthorn, has
rendered her resignation and we have
felt compelled under the circumstaces
10 accept the same, therefore be il by
the board of directors of the Wausau
library,
ReS0lped, that we regret the necessity
of seVering the pleasant relations which
have existed for years between Miss
Silverthorn as the librarian and this
library board during the years of her
valuable services devoted TO library
work, and be it further.
ResolUed, that our best wishes and cur
highest commendation go with Miss
Silverthorn to any new field of labor OF
her choice
As yet no choice has been made for
Miss Silverthorn's successor. The
board has written to young lady who
has been recommended, but has not re
ceived a reply

ANOTHER BANK FOR WAUSAU.

That Wausau is to have another bank,
making four in all, now seems an as
sured fact. 1t is quite likely that it will
be doing business before snow flies
again. For some time there has been
an agitation to secure banking insti-
tuition for the west side of the river and
at present the movement is well under
way. Residents of that side of the river
for several weeks have been soliciting
for the sale of stock and at present
about $50, 600 has been taken. tits pro-
posed to capitalize the institution at
$4,000 to start off with.
The gentlemen who have been push
ing the matter have found no difficulty
in disposing of stock Indeed had they
sold all that has been applied for they
could start bank with several times
the capital they desire. The object,
however, is to distribute the stock
among as many individuals as possible,
so that it will not be controlled by a
few men. AT present not over five
snafe5 OF Sl0u each are sold TO any one
person. Quite number of farmers
have subscribed for stock. If, after the
institution is duly organized, any stock
holder is not satisfied with his invest
ment, he can withdraw and his stock
will be open for sale. If there should
be then any difficulty in securing new
stakeholder to take it, which there is no
liability of being, other stockholders
can purchase it.
A meeting win be called soon to per-
feet temporary organization tospush
the matter 1t will be decided later
whether building will be rented or
erected, and other details will be set
tied upon.

KILLED HIS WIFE

Henry Wolf, farmer living IN the
town of Easton, came to the city lnurs-
day and presenting himself AZ Inc
county jail asked to be locked up, stat
ing that he had committed crime,
AS the sheriff was not there at the Time,
he was directed to go up town he
went up and consulted firm OF law
yers. Shortly after dinner the man
nephew, Wm. Paulman, came totown
and in the afternoon called upon ON
cials and notified them that Woif had
that morning killed his wife. Accord
ingly a warrant was sworn out py
the district attorney for VOLTS arrest,
During the afternoon Wolf, in company
with his attorney and physician, drove
out to the scene of the murder and
viewed the surroundings. The aherlf
empaneled coroner's jury consisting
of A. r. Bardeen, Ray Hagen, Carl
Kruger, Pat German, Alfred Zinlnier-
man and Henry Ziebell and in company
with the district attorney started Tor
the Wolf home On the way out they
met Wolf, the attorney and physician
returning and the attorney guarantee
ing the surrender of Wolf, they EFo-
ceeded on to the home.
When they reached the house terri
Bile scene met their gaze. The dead
woman lay upon the floor, her hands
clenched and the arms bent at the ell
bows and resting in an upright posi-
ton. Ine upper portion OF her BODY
was clothed only in shirt, leaving her
arms bare. Her face and arms were
covered with blood. her head was rest
ing in pool of blood, there were pools
of blood on the floor in various places
and the whole room was more or less
bespattered Chairs were overturned
and the entire room disarranged, show
ing that there had been a hard struggle.
The dead woman's head was badly cut
Esnd bruised On the forehead there
We're evidences of heavy blow
struck with blunt instrument, forthe
skull was crushed in This blow eyi
IDENTITY was the one which produced
death. The kitchen dishes stood where
they mad been left at breakfast time
and the tragedy must have occurred
shortly after the breakfast hour
The only weapons found was cievis
bolt and a revolver, but it is probable
that chairs were used
After the coroner's jury viewed the
premises the body was turned over TO
an undertaken and on Friday morning
a postmortem examination was con-
Quoted by physicians. The jury viewed
the remains, the physicians pointing
out the cuts and bruises of which there
were seventeen. None were found on
any other part of the body except the
head An adjournment of inquest WAS
taken to yesterday morning
Those who know Wolf Intimately
were astounded at the crime. Last fall
for county treasurer before the prim-
aries, but was defeated by Ernst Ringle.
At present he is town clerk of his town
and at various times in the past the
voters have honored him with town
offices. He has borne good reputa
ton in the past and is well spoken OF
by his heighbors.
The dead woman was, before her
marriage to Wolf, the widow of the
late VIM. Klingbeil of this city, musi
clan of more or less prominence. From
what can be CLEANED it is apparent that
VOLTS second marriage (he having
been widower) was not happy one,
and his life since has been punctuated
with frequent quarrels with his wife.

There is small orchard of about fifty
trees near Wausau that l have watched
with much interest for three years
The greater part of the trees were
planted in the spring Of 1904; fine, thrifty
trees bearing the label of one of our
best Wisconsin nurseries. The man
agement of this little orchard has been
succ cession of mistakes so obvious that
to one familiar with fruit growing it
would almost seem that these had been
deliberately planned. The site had
been garden spot previous to plant
ing and heavily manured at planting
time. Mistake No |.
Fruit trees, especially apple, require
but moderately rich ground as an ex-
cess of fertility induces too rapid
growth and growth late in the season
the former encouraging fire. blight,
the latter winter killing.
Secondly the apple trees were set
about twelve feet apart and the piums
less than six feet This wss the second

will be merely thicket. Twenty feet
is the least distance that orchard trees
should be set and twentv-four is
better. Remember that in the success
full orchard, provision must be made
for team work in cultivating, spraying,
etc.
The orchard was seeded to timothy
as soon as planted and a heavy crop of
hay cut each season since. Owing to
the original richness of the soil this
was not so serious as it would have been
on ordinary farm land, but it was bad
enough as it eliminated cultivation. one
of the essentials in orchard work
Mention was made of the labels on
the trees; many of the trees still bear
these labels much to their detriment.
Nursery labels, the kind made of wood
strips, are fastened to the tree with
copper wire and should be removed
as soon as the tree is planted. If
neglected this wire will usually gridle
the tree. This has happened in several
cases in the orchard mentioned
