Well Casing is UnI0ad6d.

A carload of the casing for the ar
tesian we'll has at last arrived and has
been unloaded this week by Transfer
man Kelly, who is now delivering the
immense tubes on the ground where the
well is being drilled. The casing was
ordered early in December, but owing
to The numerous orders on hand, the
company could not fill the order at once,
end after vaxatious delays on the road,
ltarrived after more than three months
time had elapsed.
Work on the we'll was suspended on
account Of not having the casing on
hand. In the meantime Mr.. Mcdonald
decided to use the drill himself, which
he had leased to Mr.. Conner to do the
work with, and Mr.. Conner must now
await the arrival of his new drill, which
we are informed, has been on the road
for some time. We expect to see the
well rapidly pushed to completion upon
the arrival of the new outfit.

Date OF Easter Sunday.

The festival of Easter was. Instituted
about the year 68 A. D., but it was not
long before the date of its annual cele-
bration proved a cause of dissension
among the early Christians, those OF
Jerusalem, and the East generally, hold
ing it at the same time as the Jewish
Passover a practice distasteful to the
remainder Of Christendom.
And so, the Council of Nice, in 325
A. D. ordered that ''everywhere the
great feast of Easter should be ob-
served on the one and 1same day." and
ever since then Easter Sunday has been
the first Sunday after Ethe full gmoon
which happens upon orlnext after Ethe
21st of March; and if the full moon hap
pens upon a Sunday, Easter Sundays

1t is doubtful if any other newspaper
in the Uuited States offers so much that

ment on the Sunday school lesson, and
through the week will be found crisp

WILL PROBABLY COME,

Five gentlemen connected with the
Appleton Steam Boiler and Manufactur.
ing Co. spent part of last week in the
city with view of ascertaining what
Wausau has to offer as an inducement
for the company to move here. In a
communication addressed to the city
clerk and read before a recent council
meeting, these gentlemen stated that
| their business has grown to such pro-
portions that they must seek new
quarters and are desirous of changing
their location. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with them, and at the
committees solicitation they came here.
They were shown about the city and
viewed a number of sites on which they
might locate, all of which met their
satisfaction. They also interviewed
mill and factory men here and in Mer.
rill, to ascertain about how much work
they might expect if they decided to
move here. When they left the city
they did not say whether or not they
would locate here, but stated that they
were very favorably impressed with the
city. After their return home one of
the gentlemen was interviewed by a
newspaper reporter and when asked if
the company intended to move here he
replied, at looks that way

DR.. TURBiN-WHY HE COMES
TO WAUSAU.

1t is an undisputed fact that in every
community there are many cases of
chronic diseases that are beyond the
skill of regular practitioners, not be-
cause our home physicians are incom-
petent or unsuccessful, but because
their time is wholly occupied attending
acute cases. That is the reason DR..
Turbin visits our city. He has devoted
years of time in the treatment of these
particular specialties. He has treated
hundreds of cases in Wisconsin, and by
his unfailing success has established a
reputation unequaled by any specialist
in the state. His fame is world wide,
and he is renowned for the mary cures
he has made where others failed.
Dom. put off seeing, the doctor, as it
costs nothing to consult him and get a
positive and candid description of your
disease and learn the chance of a cure.
You may rest assured of honorable
treatment, and positive relief, if the
doctor accepts your case for treat
ment.
His monthly visit to our city will be
Tuesday, March II at the Bells hotel.

TUBERS OF IMPORTANCE.

From Washington, d. c., comes the
Information that our potato crop is
worth $3.50, 600 and is increasing.
The progress of food production in
modern times is shown in no way more
clearly than in the use which European
and American peoples have made of
the potato. The three great classes of
food for western people are cereals,
root crops and meats. The potato be-
longs to the second of these. Only in
recent centuries has it become incor-
porated into the farming systems of
Europe
The people who develop this crop
most fully are the Germans. Accord
ing to recent figures, it is shown that
Germany has a larger percentage of
land under potato cultivation than any
other nation in Europe. There are
64.3 acres TO every 10000 inhabitants,
against A s in Austria and 394 in
France. There has been a great tend
ency to increase this crop as its uses
have enlarged The chief use for
manufacture is distilling. There are
$4,000 potato distilleries in operation in
the German empire, 1900 of which
represent the chief activity of the farms
on which they are located and 1000
distilleries play a secondary role.

PRISONER DISCHARGE ED.

Robt. Engelman, the Stratford man
who was arrested a week ago, charged
with the murder of mill owner in Ger
many, and taken before the German
consul in Chicago, has been released,
having established an alibi.
Engelman, it appears, came to STRAIT
ford, this county, in 1909. In April, 1905,
he was missing from there and did not
return until the following December.
1t was in June of thai year that the
mill owner in Germany was murdered
and the mill burned to cover up the
evidences of the crime. The fact that
he was gone from Stratford in 1905 and
that no one knew where he was during
most of that year, resulted in his being
suspected of the murder. The German
consul has notified police departments
all over the country to be on the look
out for the murderer and when Engel-
man was recently locked up in Jail in
Grand Rapids, the sheriff began look
ing up the Stratford mans history with
the result that Engelman was held un-
til U. S. marshal arrived and con-
veved him to Chicago. Those who
sffE5n Engelman in Stratford, where
he was worked off and on for the r.
Connor Lbr Co., were of the general
belief that he was innocent of the crime
with which he was charged. 1t is very
unlikely that he was in Germany in
1905. The Marsheeld News says he
"was never known to have money
enough to buy ticket to circus, TO
say nothing of paying his way to
Prussia"

EMlGRANTS ARRIVE.

During the latter part of the week
total of eighteen Russian emf
grants landed in Wausau. They are
relatives and former neighbors~ of the
small Russian colony already here.
The members of the latter, it is said
sent part of their earnings over to the
land of the czar to assist these people
in coming here. They are Russians by
birth only. All are of German descent
and speak that language. They are of
a thrifty class and will be self support
ing from the outset, though at present
their wants are being cared for by
those who have lived here for the past
several years and who are giving them
Instructions in the ways of this country.
They are all dressed in the peculiar
fashion in which Russians are pictured.
The men have long coats which button
tight around the waist, while the
bottom is bell shaped.

Whiting is well known here in connee-
ton with his paper mill interests,
while Mr.. Whitcomb is the former
president of the Wisconsin Central
Railway company. MIR. Lines is only
nominally interested.
The capital of the new corporation is
only s25,0O0 but this will be increased.
Mr.. Whitcomb now controls the inter
urban line between Fond du Lac and
Oshkosh.
Several electric railroad franchises
have already been granted by the city,
but all have lapsed ~ reason of the
non-fultillment on the part of the sever
al grantees of the conditions imposed
The last one was granted to the Wis
consin River Railway and Power com
pany on March z, 1903; but one of the
conditions was that work should be
commenced within 18 months, and this
was not done.-Stevens Point Journal

one organized by Wausau men and
which secured franchises and right
of way, covering the territory from

OFFICER DISCHARGED.

A meeting of the police and fire COM
mission was held Thursday to take
action upon the suspension of Officer
Victor Gertschen. he was suspended
upon testimony given at the Pagel
trial ten days ago. 1t transpired that
he entered a saloon with Fred Herman,
the minor who admitted that Pagel
sold him liquor, and at the invitation of
Herman the officer took drink of gin.
He made the same admission to the
police and fire commission and as it
was a violation of the rules of the
force, no other alternative was left the
commission than to discharge him
from the force.
Gertschen was disciplined in the fall
for what was considered needless
assault upon q citizen whom he was
attempting to arrest. The mayor wit
messed the assault and gave the chief
orders to suspend him. At that time
he was laid off for long time and
