EDITOR PmoT:
It is reported that the noble old elm
at the east end of the public library
building is to be cut down. and a porch
added TO that end of the building. It il
difficult to understand why this should
be done.
Wausau, the home of the tree. has hut
few of the grand old trees remaining
and they are gradually dying. Why
should their disappearance be fastened
by the wanton obstruction of this most
beautiful one It's like could not be
reproduced in two generations, it is
the most beautiful ornament on the
grounds A porch in its place would
be Ike wart on a mans nose, neither
beautiful nor useful.
The building has its own symmetry
ana lines OF beauty. Why should its
harmony be married by an excrescence
whose chief usefulness, if it has any,
other than doubtful ornamentation
would destroy large part of the service
of the buildings
A strangers first impression on enter
ing the building is of a spacious and
elegant hall or reception room, with a
slight suggestion OF a library. Closer
observation discovers two public read.
ing rooms, too little secluded for I'M
interrupted reading The accommoda-
tlons for books are-meager and, for the
most part, inconvenient for library
assistants. If the porch is to cover an
entrance to the building, the public will
troop. through one reading room and
practically destroy one-half of the build
ing for its intended purpose. If there
IS to be an addition TO the building,
with present or prospective funds, il
might better be added to the rear of the
building for the greater accommoda-
ton of books
IL the porch, or portico, is not de-
signed to cover an entrance to the
elilding, it will be interpreted as a
device to conceal the incompetence OF
the architects. Whatever mistakes may
have been made in the plans or the
placing of the building, it is not wise to
increase the volume of criticism along
those lines by the addition of useless
structure requiring apology or eliciting
awkward and embarrassing explana-
lions.
For the present it will be better to grade
and beautify the grounds; with the best
endeavors no single thing can be added
to match the beauty of that noble
, remnant of the forest. Woodman
spare that tree. o. E. WELLS.

ORIGIN OF NAM ES.

The Chicago & Northwestern Railway
Co. has issued book giving the history
of the naming of different cities, towns
aud counties in the state, which makes
very valuable reading. From it we
take the following:
Marathon oounty-Named for the
battlefield in ancient Greece.
Wausau-This is corruption of the
Indian word, Massa, meaning ''far
away" The town was named by Wal
ter McIndoe, a Scotchman. He also
named the county. At an earlier date
the Wausau settlement was known as
Big Boil Falls from the French equiva-
lent, given the river and falls by French
yoyageurs and trappers who passed this
way.
MeMillan-Was named for b. F Nc
MILAN, a lumberman of Wisconsin.
Stratford-Was named by +. w.
Rniaeiander. then the president of the
first railroad that reached this point.
Ii was named from the home okShakes-
peare IN England. 1t was plated in
1891 by the Milwaukee, Lake Shore q
Western Railway Co
Fenwcod-Was plated BY the Mil
waukee, Lake Shore 4 Western Rail
way in 1891, and was so named because
a great number of trees and shrubbery
grew in q nearby fen or marsh.
Edgar-Was plated by the Lake
Shore Railway in 1891. and was named
for William Edgar. who was interested
in the vicinity aud owned saw mill
near Wausau.
While the above mentioned book does
not say so, il is fact that Hatley was
named because the bellies of that village
were the originators of the Merry
Widow hat; Rockville, because of the
presence of so many wild roses in that
section; Norrie, because the place was
discovered by Norwegian, Cad z. o..
because the girls of that place CAD on
the streets so much, and Poniatowski
because, becau-be-, well, we give it
up.

FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.

A custom of historical antiquity, that
of holding forty hours of prayer and
alteration, was instituted at st. James
Catholic church, on Second street Tues
day morning last, continuing uRtil
Thursday morning There were five
visiting priests in addition to Rev. j. j
Brennan, the pastor, conducting the
services. Rev. Father Dunno of Eau
Claire, recognized as one of the greatest
pulpit orators in the state, delivered ar
eloquent and impressive sermon on the
occasion, as did Rev. Father Murphy,
of Lacrosse. The services begun al
s o'clock a m. and continued until
eight in the evening each day. ST
James church was crowded to its fullest
capacity during all the services.

In the Interests of Labor.

In many instances the duties imposed
by the Dingley law reach from 100 to
900 per cent. Cigars, cigarettes ead
cheroots of all kinds are taxed 81 80 per
pound and 25 per cent ad valorem.
What the steel trust gets in the way of
tariff benefits it is only necessary to
point to the colossal fortunes of the
Carnegies, the Morgans, the tricks, the
Corrys, the Garrys and the Ryans. But
what does the Dingley tariff law con-
cede to the 'aboring MANI We have the
Dingley free list before us. He gets free
acorns, analine salts. arrowroot, arsenic
with which to commit suicide when he
cannot ind job asbestos, wood ashes,
assafetida, beeswax, broken bells, bis
nuth, dried blood, burned bones,
Brazil paste, cat gut. worm gut, crude
chalk. pitch of coal tar, and crude civit
Even more than that. He gets-listenl
free creosote oil, benzol, toluol, naph-
thalin, zylol, phenol, cresol, talnidine,
xylidin, cumidin, binitrotoluol, bini-
trobenzol, benzidin, tolidin, dianisdin,
naphtol, naphtylamin, diphenylamin,
benzaldehyde, benzyl chloride, resorcin,
nitro-benzol and nitrotulul. How
magnanimous it was in the Dingleyites
to give the blessing of free xylidin and
cumidin to the wage workers? Yet the
Dingley law goes still farther. 1t allows
the wage workers freedom from tariff
taxation on cutlefish bone, dandelion
root, dividivi, dragons blood, fossils,
sisal grass, manure, horse and cattle
hair, old hoofs, old junk, kelp, leeches,
lemon juice (skidoo-23) moss and sea-
weeds, rope ends, waste rope, old gum
my cloth, old gunny bags, pewter,
plumbago, saltpetre, rags. sheep dip,
silk worms eggs, skeletons, raw skins,
except sheepskins with the wool on"
spunk, old stamps, European pauper
stamps, storax, oxide of strontia, tar and
pitch of wood, terra japonica, tobacco
stems, old type, hop-poles, hair wood.
yams, virdigris and zaffer,. Isn't that
enough to satisfy the most solicitious
wage Garner? What more could he ask
for than free dragons blood, old hoofs,
old rags, old type and hop poless But it
is paragraph 435 of the Dingley law
that peculiarly interesting, since it
shows so much concern for the common
herd. 1t provides that diamonds and
other precious stones advanced in con-
dition or value from their natural state
by cleaning, splitting, cutting or other
process, and not set,' shall be taxed
ten percentum ad valorem; and that
limitations of diamonds or other pre-
cious stones, composed of glass or paste,
not exceeding an inch in dimensions,
not engraved, printed, or otherwise
ornamented or decorated, and not
mounted or SET" shall be taxed twenty
per cent adj valorem Isn't that going
some? Of course the Dingley tariff is a
boon to the laboring population. And
one can reach that conclusion if he will
take the time and trouble to examine
the schedules The 'Interests,'' who
wrote them did not write them for their
benefit They wrote them for the saliva
ton of the workers. They had no
thought of themselves.

A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region
of the heart are not necessarily heart
trouble. We suggest that you start
with stomach and whenever you feel a
depression after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take Kodol.
1t will not be very long until all these
heart pains" will disappear. Take
Kodol now and until you know you are
right again. There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you will find
the truth Of this statement verified after
you have used kodol for few weeks.
It is sold here by w. w. Albers.

A WISH.
"a Song of the Sea-

If had wings, I'd fly now, to that cot beside
the sea,
So gladly free, I'd live there, no other place I'd
be-
I'd set my nets and lobster pots, to catch a
lucky tide,
And be again that fisher-maid to roam long
waters side.
If had wings, I'd fly nov, to dream on peb-
bled shore,
To hear the lap of waters, the seas wild foarc-
ing roar
To watch the gulls awlnging, hear kill-deer's
lonely cry,
And be again chat fisher-maid upon the sands
to lie.
If had wings, I'd fly now, to that place long
to be-,
The rock bound coast the sitting sands for
salt spray from the sea,
The waves are ever calling, in my dreams to
cOme,-'tis vain,-
To be that happy fsher-maid, upon the sands
again.

HENPSTEA) COUNTY
GRAND JURY
{CoNrTNUED FROM FIRST PAGE)

full investigation Of the vie alton of
the liquors laws, at Fulton, as we
could, and the facts disclosed a
wide condition Of affairs there. The
conclusion was forced upon the
jury, that this condition is, pri-
marily, AID we nigh say prince
pally, due to tue neglect on the
part Of the officers to enforce the
law, and we believe there is testi-
mony to be had, Of the unwilling
ness on the part Of some Of the
officers to do so. Th- Grand Jury
calls the attention of the mayor and
town council of Fulton to this s ate
of affairs, and the neglect upon
the part Of the marshal in enforcing
or abating what seems to be known
to every citizen Of Fulton, and es-
peci2lly to a certain blind tiger en-
housed in shack near Boat Oar
Plant, and that the four council
men sea that the law is enforced
and in case tie officers fiji to do
their duty, to remove said officers
and appoint others who will. There
is no constable in Bois'D Arc town
ship and we recommend that the
proper authorities take steps to APP
point such an officer, who will do
his duty fearlessIy.
We have used our best efforts t.
present no eases TO Tie Court which
we felt could pot be sustained, and
when trivial matters have been pre-.
sented by volunteers, we have ad-
vised resort to the court Of the
justice of the peace.

We have also made a careful in
vestigation Of our County court
house and grounds and find the
grounds neatly kept.
The court house shows some
damage on account of water from
