MRS. R. J. WILLIAMS.

Mrs. r. j. Williams died Friday morn
ing in st. Mary's hospital as the result
of injuries sustained about three weeks
previous. On June IL, after finishing
house cleaning, Mrs. Williams at
tempted to hang some lace curtains
from the top of high window. She
got up on chair and while in the act
of suspending the curtains the chair
tipped over and she fell to the floor
She was alone in the house at the time
and though badly injured she managed
to crawl to a couch and lie down. Her
husband returned from his work some
time later and found her suffering great
pain and at once summoned a phvsi-
clan. Her back was bruised and it was
apparent that she was injured internal
ly. She was treated at home for some
time, but later was taken to the hospital
and though receiving every attention
from her physician and nurses, she
gradually sank.
Deceased was born in Sheboygan
June s, 1865. Her early life was spent
IN Winnebago county, where she was
married to Mr.. Williams. In 1888 they
moved to this city and this had been
Mrs. Williams home ever since.
Besides her husband she is survived
by two sons, Harry of Milwaukee, and
Hugh of this city.
The funeral was held yesterday, Rev.
s. n. Wilson officiating.

NARROW ESCAPE.

A. j. Plowman and an adopted son
of the town of Elderon, came near be-
ing killed or badly injured yesterday.
They drove under hay shed on the
Plowman farm for protection during q
rain shower. A strong wind came up.
MIR. Plowman was leaning back in the
buggy looking up at the roof when he
noticed it beginning to move and
crackle. he saw that the roof was
coming off the cedar posts supporting
it and he struck the horses a crack with
the whip. As he did so the roof came
down with crash. He threw up his
arms thinking be could hold the roof off
the boy and the sudden start of the
horses threw both over backwards onto
the ground. The roof struck the wheels
of the buggy and thereby saved MIR.
Piowman and the boy. 1t was a
narrow escape.

ROBBED PEST HOUSE.

Parties recently discovered that -he
sheet iron shutters on the windows of
the pest house, which is situated west
of the city, had been broken open and
city officials were notified. John Wolf,
member of the city councils commit
tee on health, and H. E. Marquardt,
comptroller, made an investigation yes
terdsy and found that someone had
broken the fastenings of the shutters,
allowing them to get 1T the windows,
and then had broken panes of glass so
tEat the sash could be raised. The
parties who entered the building stole
all the quilts. blankets, sheets, part of
the dishes and articles used by the
nurses. Some dishes left were broken.
From the evidence st hand it is pre-
sumsble that the sheft was committed
some time ago-it might have been last
winter. At tonight's council mecting
the matter viii be reported and il =
presumed action viii be taken TO re-
place the articles stolen and to fix the
building in such shape that il cannot be
easily burglArixed.

A. w. Mumm has again assumed
charge of his old book store, deal for
the same having been completed last
week. He sold out to q. w. Wilson
several years ago who last fall sold to
VIM. Felker of Marinette, who operated
the store until the recent fire when the
goods were more or less damaged.
Since that time Mr. Felker has had a
desire to get into some other line of
business and made a proposition to Mr..
Mumm for the sale of the store, which
was accepted. MIR. Mumm is now in
charge and will operate both his paint
and book stores. He will dispose of all
the goods in the book store at fire sale
prices, (see advertisement in this issue
of the PLoT,) and it will pay any one
wanting books, stationery, etc., to give

store will be put in fine shape and MIR.
Mumm will put in an entire new line of

The assessor of the town of Ringle
and some of the tax payers of that town
have locked horns over the assessment.
W. j. Kregel, supervisor oI assessment,
was called there last week and was in
formed by those who are protesting
against the assessment that they in
tended cutting the assessors figures in
two. This, he informed them, they
could not do without showing proof
that his figures are inequitibly wrong.
They then threatened to Lave the town
re-assessed by the state and were in
formed that in such case all property
will be assessed at its full valuation. 1t
is thought an amicable adjustment of
the trouble will be arranged.

3. B. NOTES.

Since leaving Wausau on the last
trip, opening in Freeport June %, our
team has won nine games. lost i've and
one went twelve innings to a tie. This
Is the best record ever made by our
team while on the road in the four
years of league playing. 1t shows that
the present aggregation is a strong
road team as well as being stickers at
home. The team returns with a safe
margin over Freeport for the leader
ship. For the next fifteen days the
latter will be on the road and people
who have watched that teams playing
away from home confidently expect to
see it drop into third or perhaps fourth
position. The Gamers are the weakest
road team in heleague. Madison has
shown great strength in the past week
and during the middle of the week
nosed Lacrosse out of third position.
Last Sundays game With Madison
was transferred to Milwaukee by man
ipulation of President Mol. Likewise
game with Freeport Monday, SEIZED
uled for Wausau
Sundays game was attended by only
about !, 200 people, Moll expecting at
least 1900. Yesterday, after three
innings had been played. the game was
called off on account of rain. There
we're only about 200 people on the
grounds. This experience will no
doubt cause all clubs in the league TO
tell Mol to go to Halifax when he in
sists on transferring games to his own
city hereafter.
Freeport plays here today, Wednes-
day and Thursday and Wausau will be
at home until July %. The team takes
but one more long trip away from
home.

COCHRAN ON TAFT.

There is a remarkable unanimity of
opinion of Judge Taft in all parties and
in all sections. Men pay tribute to
his remarkable ability even when party
policies may exert such an influence
as to demand the espousing of the
rival presidential candidates cause.
AS an illustration w. Bourke Cochran
in an interview at Boston the other
day said:
"Yes, shall support Bryan; he is
the best candidate the democrats
could put up. Taft. however, is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any republic in the
world. He is a greater man than
Roosevelt, and when surrounded by
the same environments that made
Roosevelt great will prove a bigger
man. Taft is a wonderful administra-
tor, the greatest the country has ever
seen and is a wonderful worker"

TO RUST.

Prof. Olive, botanist of the State
College of Agricultural and Mechanic
Arts has published in Bulletin 100 an
exhaustive study of Rust of Cereal
and Other Plants" 1t is a work of
great interest, and advances many
propositions that every farmer should
know. He differentiates three sorts
of rust: The black stem rust, the red
leaf rust and orange crown rust. He
declares that these rusts are always
present to a greater or less extent
with every crop, but in some seasons
when conditions are particularly fav-
orable to their development they may
be utterly destructive as we learned in
1904. Prof. Olive advises that the rust
is not transmitted through the seed
or the straw, but comes from outside
vegetation. The black rust originates
especially on the barberry, and the
red rust from the thorn apple. After
the spores have reached a certain
stage of development on these nursing
plants they are scattered to- the grain
fields where they multiply ~prodigiously.
Prof. Olive deplores the attempt to
force winter wheat culture into the
spring wheat region, as this increases
the danger period for the propagation
of the rust spores. He points out
that spring wheat is rarely successful
ly cultivated where winter wheat is
grown.-Pierre Dakotan.
