AN OLD CLAIM.

Congressman Morse will at this SEES
sion congress introduce a bill pro-
yiding for the payment of a war claim
to Merrill lady. Her husband was
rafting logs down the Wisconsin ard
Mississippi rivers at the time of the
civil war. The union army needed the
logs and took them and the comman-
der gave the man receipt for the logs.
The records of the way: department
show that they were taken and never
paid for. This man was loyal union
man, and the fact of his ownership, the
act of the government in taking his
logs, and BIS loyalty has never been
questioned. The value of the logs at
that time was ten thousand dollars and
represented every penny that the man
had. A bill has been introduced in
congress many times for the relief of
this woman and the payment of the
money that is justly due and owing to
her. This bin has been reported favor
ably by the committee, but has never

SUCCESS THEREWARD OF MERIT

Mastering the general principles of
medical science requires untiring in
dustry. research, conscientiots and
painstaking study, combined with
natural tact, clear headedness and
adaptabilitv, of man is TO be fitted
for position in the first ranks OF the
profession.
Early in his professional life the Chi
cago specialist, DR.. H. M Turbin, who
has made monthly visits to our city for
many years, proved the possession OF
these qualities and established repu-
tation for reliability and unusual skill
in the manner in which he has success
fully handled many difficult cases
which did not yield TO the treatment of
others
Consequently, he is today an ac-
knowledged authority both as regards
the wise use of remedies and the skill
full use of surgical means, according to
the needs of each case. Diseases that
battle others arc so skillfully treated by
DIR. Turbin as to result in the eradica-
ton of the old troubles and permanent
relief for those who had given up all
hope.
1t often happen that an afflicted
man or woman tries the treatment of
many doctors in succession without
help. Such experiences are often bitter
and expensive, but those who wisely
consult this specialis. always find they
have good reasons to congratulate
themselves that hey applied to him.
DIR. Turbin at once discoySrs the true
nature of the disease, and couscien-
tfously applies the method CT treatment
in the beginning which he knows will
do the work to perfection.
No matter what the nature of your
disease. If it is chronic or of long stand
ing and obstinate, you can obtain the
information you so much desire by the
means of consultation with han. DR.
Turbin's record in this community is
such as should every man, woman and
child feel perfectly free to call upon
him, assured of an accurate diagnosis
and good advice.
/ Consultation and examination are
free. DR.. Turbin will visit Mausau al

'sI was agreeably surprised at the un-
animity with which business men of
the city Of Wausau get together and do
business, = said ID. G. Cheney of the

house. 81 have just got back from the
lumber city, where | attended ban
quet given by the Merchants as
sociation. While there they discussed
railroad and transportation matters,
and we were assured that there is not
'knocker in Wausau. No business
man seems to have either crouch or
kick of any kind against any of the
business institutions, and all pull to-
gether for the improvement of their
town. They regard their railroads
with the same degree of interest and
pride that they do their banks, fine
hotels and other Wausau institutions.
j. NJ. Davis, also of the Milwaukee
road, and Messrs. Quigley and Chey-
ney of the Northwestern We're also
guests at the banquet, and each was
given an opportunity to speak from
the railroad side of the questions under
consideration. We were listened to
with courtesy and apparent interest,
and others present addressed the meet
ing, giving their views with reference
to transportation and city improve
ment matters. But what struck me
with the greatest force was the manner
in which citizens stand together for
the general good of their city. Ana
you know, Wauau is'one of the finest
cities in the northern section of the
state. There were about $50 business
mei2 present, and / do not know when
