BURNED COLLEGE PRESIDENT IN
\ EFFIGY AND WOULD HEAR
HIM TALK.

WHEELING, Jan. 24.-According
to reports received here from Beth
any last evening. President Cramb-
lett, Of Bethany college, was hung and
burned in efTigy by the student body.
The action Of the students was sail
to- have been due to rather harsh
words used by the president to Mrs.
Bourne. English professor. and Miss
Ellis, professor in Greek. on the night
of January 81, regarding the fire which
occurred that night in the dormitory
occupied by the girls at the college.
The demonstration is said to have
been the outburst of long Ynent up in
dignation and was one of the widest
and most impressive ever seen in this
section of the country. From what
meagre details were learned here 1t
appears that about 10 o'clock the
campus was suddenly lighted up and
dummy hanging to a tree, saturated
with oil was disclosed to view. On
the tree was placard telling who the
victim was. The students all gathered
around the dummy and in the midst Of
great excitement one of the students
applied a match to the clothing of the
dummy.
While the fierce demonstration was
at It's height President Cramblett APP
.peared and made an eulogistic effort
to defend himself. but the students
refused to listen to him.
AS is stated above the principal
thing which caused the outburst of in
dignation last night was the remarks
Of the president to the two lady
teachers while aside from this, the
students expressed the belief that Mr..
Cramblett did not have the proper fire
protection at the school.

HON. STUART f. REEL.
Harrison's Candidate
for Secretary cf State


Mr.. Reed was born and reared on
a West virginia farm. his ancestors
being pioneers OF the historic Harr!-
son county territory. He traces his
lineage, both maternal and paternal,
to soldier of the Revolution. Form
ing and carpentering were his early
avocations until he began teaching in
the country school. By saving his
earnings and attending the Falrmont
State Normal school and later, the
West Virginia University, he partially
satisfied his craving for higher edu-
cation. But college diplomas TO him
meant only that he was in some mea-
sure prepared to begin as real learn
er in the great school OF life. Upon
leaving the University, he joined Cen
erel Gof and others In the purchase
of the Clarksburg Telegram. and was
for eight years its editor. Being a
brilliant writer and student OF pub
lie affairs he gave that newspaper the
impress OF his. talented personality
and made 1t a power in the State for
the Republican party. His active po-
litical services, however, began before
he was old enough to vote, when he
threw down his books, left the school
room and went out to make Republi-
can speeches. In every campaign, for
twenty years, he has given his best
energies by voice and pen, fighting
for his party. Receiving the nomina-
ton for the twenty-third State senate
without opposition he was elected as
it's youngest member and was made
chairman ION Education a member
OF the Judiciary" and other import
ant committees. rs
Senator Reed was president of the
West Virginia Editorial Association
three terms and was elected vice pres
ident of the National Republican Press
IAssociation OF the United States. at
Washington, in 1903. He has been a
member of the Board of Regents of
the West Virginia University, mem
Der of the Republican State commit
tee, and member Of :he Executive
Committee of the National League OF
Republican Clubs. These positions,
while of no pecuniary advantage to Mr..
Reed, have nevertheless been valua-
BILE schools OF experience. IN these
calls to public duty he has always pre-
sented the full measure of a man OF
honor, force and originality and has
rendered his party and his State SER
vices which bespeak his scholarly at
tainments and high ideals. He Is
president of the Board of Trustees of
Broaddus Institute. one of the Chris
tian Educational Institutions of his
home city, Eminent Commander of the
Knights Templar order OF Clarksburg.
and enthusiastically interested in all
movements having in view the moral
and material advancement Of the
State and community.
The nomination of Senator Reed for
Secretary of State by the next Re-
publican State convention would be a
most deserving compliment to one of
the States best men and likewise to
! Harrison county, whose five thousand
loyal Republicans have not had rep
resentation on State ticket for twen-
ty years.

Frank Lang, Wausau's star pitcher
OF last season, has joined the second
team of the Chicago White Sox at Oma.
ha.
From now until the team returns
home about May l, returns of the
practice games will be received nightly
in this city, arrangements to that effect
having been made with Manager Fergu-
SON.
Wausau opens the playing season
earlier than most other clubs in the
league, so therefore the fans in the
different cities will watch our teams
work with interest, so as to get line
on its strength.
Manager Ferguson has the smallest
bunch of ball players of any team in
the league, and still the largest num-
Der of pitchers, yet it is confidently
hoped that he will pick first class
team from the material at hand. If
pitching will win games, Manager
Ferguson intends to have the goods.
The team was scheduled to open
practice in Burlington, Ia, last Satur-
day, and from low until the end of the
month will be playing almost every
day. For results Of games look else
where in this paper.

SITE REJECTED.

Wilson -HErd Co., we have been in
formed, has purchased lots south of the
cemetery on Grand Ave, ard will in
the spring erect plant built of con-
crete blocks. Some time ago the COM
pany made application to the city coun-
Gil for sight and was offered small
tract of land near Wausau Jet. The
location did not suit the company, for
various reasons, and at the next council
meeting to be held Tuesday evening,
April IA, the site will be rejected
The company was organized and in
corporated about three years ago with
capital stock of $40 900 for the purpose
of manufacturing and placing on the
market bag holder, the invention of
A. j. Hurd. From the start the venture
proved successful and as the business
grew the company branched out into
other lines of novelties. The firm at
present manufactures a complete line
of advertising specialties and it's trade
is fast growing and has branched out
into large territory. The present
officers of the company are:
President-G. w. Wilson.
Vice-Pres. j. Hurd.
Sec'y. and Treas F. B. Hubbard.
Directors-G w. Wilson, III. j. Hurd,
f. A. Hurd, F. w. Genrich. w. d. Sic
becker.
The company in its new location will
employ twelve or fifteen men steadily
and its location south of the city may
have tendency to build up that section.

AL THE SPORTING NEWS.

The steady reliability with which the
Chicago Record Herald presents the
sporting news of the whole country
each day has made it an authority in
this field. 1t has large staff of editors
and reporters to handle the telegraphic
matter and ga her the local news in this
important department alone. In the
Sunday Record Herald this department
has separate supplement of four full
pages-a newspaper in itself-in which
all the latest sporting news is presented
with numerous illustrations. All that
is ofinterest in baseball, football, racing,
athletics, automobiling, catching, golf
tennis, pugiiism, aquatics and other
sports can always be found here, along
with many special articles by experts
of national reputation. The Chicago
Record Herald is a fav0rite among
lovers of sport because itssporting COL
umns are written by "men who know"

Mhen the Nose RIeed..

When the nose is bleeding never
hold it over basin, or hold the head
down in any way. This only causes
further rush of blood to the broken
tissues in the nose The head should
be held up and back, the flow being
caught in handkerchiefs or cloths.
One of the most effective and simple
means of checking nose bleed is to
press on the upper lip. Near the un-
der surface of the lip runs the artery
that supplies the interior nasal pas
sages where the ruptures occur II
this is pressed, the flow of blood is
mechanically checked, thus allowing
the blood around the broken tissues
to CONCEAL and seal up the opening.
If merely pressing the finger does not
succeed, place wad Of paper under
the lip and fold the lip over it, hold
ing 1t down tight, says Womans Life.
Again, if this does not succeed, and a
drug store is near, get some adrenalin,
saturate piece of cotton with II, and
apply to the interior of the nose from
where the blood flows.

See THINGS as They Are.

For the cultivated man there is nc
virtue in either optimism or pes
simism. Some people think it is a
duty to be optimistic, and for some
people it may be a duty; but one OF
the great uses of education is to teach
US to be neither one nor the other
In the management of our personal
affairs, we try to be neither one nor
the other. In business, persistent
and uproarious optimist would certain
ly have poor credit. And why? Be
cause in business the trustworthy
man, as everyone knows, is the man
who sees things as they are; and to
see things as they are, without a
glamour or Illusion, is the first condi,
ton of worldly success. 1t is ahso-
lutely ESSENTIAL in war, in finance, in
law, in every field of human activity
in which the future has to be thought
of and provided for.-E. L. Godkin.

APRIL ADMONITiONS.

"April showers bring May flowers" :"
The snow storms of the past week indi-
cate that the flowers are not in sight as
vet, and the robin retains his winter
overcoat. Wausau merchants are still
displaying winter clothing in their show
windows. April usually develops the
spring poem crop. Some spring poems
are awfully simple-some are simply aw-
full. AS sample, here is one expurgated
from the think Tank of the PILoTs
contributor to the Mothers column,
which may be guide to our POLITICALLY
inclined readers:
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life is not ghat it seems to be,
For weary rests the~soul that slumbers
After taking Rocky Mountain Tea.
A little spring in poem is all right,
but it's not up to spring on a milk
mans farm. A little spring in bed is
better than too much spring, or none
at all. The spring poet who springs
spring poems on the spring poem editor
u7ually goes out of the door in hurry.
Last Wednesday was All Fools day.
The question arises, "Who is the bigger
fool-the one who fooled, or the one
who got fooIed?" Oil up your lawn
mower this month-your neighbor will
want to borrow it next month. April
is a good month to do your spring
painting You should always placard
newly painted surfaces thus: Fresh
paint" If women would do this, fewer
men would get pink paint on their
whiskers. A woman hasn't the cheek
to do it. This is also good month to
clean up your back yard. If yoa can
find no other place TO dispose of your
old tin cans and dead cats, throw them
over the fence onto your neighbours lot
1t will greatly assist in cementing the
ties of friendship. April brings out the
fisherman. He buys 81 outht, spends
So for bait" 81 for railroad fare to
some distant stream, tears up SIS worth
of clothes-total S24-and returns home
with string of fish which he could buy
in any meat market for 75c. But think
of the fun he has had.
This month also brings out the voter
and the candidate for official honors.
There are many frosts this month and
half of the candidates get frost bitten
on election day. The other half console
themselves. They have missed the OPP
portunity of losing friends and laugh
with vengeful glee at what will happen
to tn cir adversaries.
April is also very good month for
the Wausau merchant to advertise his
spring wares, or for the delinquent
PILOT subscriber to square up" For
the former let it be remembered that
there is no better advertising medium
in Marathon county than the PnoT.

RAVAGES OF DISEASE.

The average person afflicted with any
itate HIM for work, drifts with the tide,
thinking tomorrow or some more con-
venient time he will make an effort to
rid himself of this slight indispostion "
or annoyance" Then some day he
awakens to the fact that while he has
been drifting, health has been gradually
bat surely disappearing until his whole
system is in deplorable condition.
Too often, when he is physically
amost a total wreck, he grasps at any
method of treatment which suggests re-
lief, with never thought of the ia 81
that he is in condition which requires
expert treatment.
The work of permanently checking
the progress of disease in its chronic
forms should be entrusted only to one
who has proven his thorough mastery
of the general principles of medical
science and his ability to handle such
cases.
A physician who has risen above the
crowd of mediocre physicians through
sheer force of character, and a con-
seientious desire to give each and every
patient the full benefit of his technical
knowledge and the skillful methods he
has perfected and employs in the bat tie
with disease, is the specialist who visits
our city once a month, DIR. l.. NJ.
Turbin, of Chicago.
The quality of the work which DR..
Turbin has accomplished for so many
of our friends and patrons, is proof
conclusive Laat DIR. Turbin is the physi-
clan to consult when in need of medical
attention.
, Q Those who are, through oyerwork,
wrong living, carelessness, or heredity,
han dicapped by disease, should make
an effort To free themselves from snch
bondage and the surest, easiest and best
way is to consult DR.. Turbin.
Examination and consultation are
free, and DR.. Turbin may be consulted
Thursday April 3, when he visits Wau-
sau at the Bells Hotel.
