New Orleans, Feb. 26.-Dr. E. Still
man Bailey, a prominent member Of
the staff of Hahnemann Medical col
lege of Chicago, in an address before
the Southern Homeopathic conven-
tion, announced that he has discov-
cred a substitute for radium which is
available in such large quantities that
it will be almost as cheap as ordinary
lead.

"1t generates the purple ray, the same
which Finsen used so successfully in
treating lupus, and which is given off
by radinm. The substance resembles
kid leather and is made from pitch
blende, of which twenty tons have
been discovered near a Colorado mine,
with twenty tons more in sight under
the surface"

MUST BREAK STONE.

One of the best laws passed at. the
last session of the legislature was one
which provides that county boards
shall furnish stone piles and hammers
and sst all yagrants confined in
county jails shall be compelled to
break stone. The bill met with con-
siderable opposition from country
members who are not greatly bothered
with the tramp nuisance and who
were of the opinion that, the expense
of providing rock would be a useless
one. s
The tramp nuisance has become
one which must soon be dealt with in
d harsh and forcible way if it is to be
broken up. The stone pile is the first
remedy and has proved very success
ful in counties where it has been put
in force, notably Fond du Lac and
Marinette. A tramp will steer clear
of such counties at all times, and
when state enacts such a law as
mentioned above 1t Is reasonably GER
tain that the yag element will keep
out of such states. No more will
this class look for the county Jail
with its steam heat, free victuals and
reading matter when it is known that
a stone pile is one of the accessories
of such an institution. 1t costs the
city OF Wausau and the county of
Marathon a considerable amount of
money each year to feed this element,
to say nothing of the cost to individ
uals for Handouts" As rule the
tramp class is tough one and thefts,
murders and other crimes are COM
mitted by its members every day.
If the Wisconsin legislature did no
other thing than to pass this law it
ought to be entitled to some praise.

LOST POCKET BOOK.

Upon complaint of Jas. l.. eager OF
the town of Knowlton, Frank Spar
hawk of the same town, was arrested
Thursday and brought TO this city
and lodged in the county jail. The
charge against him is larceny. eager
has lost the use of his lower extrem-
titles and travels about on his knees.
He claims that while in bed on the
night of June q Sparhawk came to
his room ostensibly for the purpose OF
talking over horse trade, Sparhawk
at the time sitting on the floor near
the bed eager, when retiring, hung
his trousers on the floor near The bed
and he claims that in the pockets OF
them was a pocketbook containing
s65. He did not miss the money until
Thursday and as soon as he discovered
his loss he communicated with the sher-
iff with the result that Sparhawk was
arrested. The latter's examination
was postponed one week.

MISSED HIS FISH.

A certain well known w ausau man
did not enjoy fish dinner one day
last week as he had expected, all due
to the watchfulness of game warden.
Martin Robrecht of Amigo, a deputy
game warden, was enroute to the
city and going into the express car of
the train found box of fish billed to
Wausau. The label on the box said
that the box contained one muskel-
longe, weight two pounds, and num-
Der of pickerel. As the law prohibits
the catching of muskellonge less than
four pounds in weight, the box was
confscated. When opened it was found
that the box had been billed truth
fully and it is presumable that the
party catching the fish was ignorant
of the law. The game warden threat
ened to commence proceedings against
the gentleman who caught the fish
and also against the express company.
Under the law the company is equally
guilty in the fact that 1t accepted the
fish for shipment.

OVERCOME WITH GAS.

Mrs. Otto Mueller left her little
daughter Marguerite alone in the
house for few minutes last Tuesday
night while she went out on the porch,
never dreaming that the child would
be in any danger. After being out in
the open air few minutes Mrs. Muel-
ler thought she detected the smell OF
gas, and returning to the house, she
found her daughter lying on top OF
the gas range in state of partial un-
consciousness. She quickly removed
the child to the open air and soon the
little one regained her senses. While
the mother was absent from the house
the little one, by the aid of a chair,
climbed on top of the range and
opened one of the gas vents, with
results as stated.

A small but select party went OF

The Nortnland is one of the largest

can be comfortably slowed away
and none disconnected for lack o.

The first stop was made at Harbol

taken advantage of by many of the
passengers and among the attractions
is a driveway of nine miles, entirely
encircling the island, while number
took the circle, more contented them
selves by merely inspecting the town.
Probably the most conspicuous object,
as viewed from the lake, is the Grand
hotel located on the shoulder of the
high bluff, apparently occupies an
entire block or square. The dilapi-
dated walls of the old fort, and built in
the early days of the French occupa-
tion, are of interest to students of
history, and the stronger and better
preserved walls of the fort built by
the British many years later, are
objects of historical interest.
We were due at Detroit, the next
stopping place, at Ills A. NJ. Mon

fog was so dense that progress was very
slow, and from midnight on, the fog
horn gave it's warning at such short
intervals as were extremely uncom-
Portable to nervous people. The
entrance to st. Claire river at the
foot of lake Huron is, because of lack
of depth of water, rather intricate.
The channel is marked by buoys and
lights but the fog was so dense that
neither could be seen except at SO
short distance as to render it unsafe
to proceed, and the vessel stopped,
but the fog horn and those of other
vessels kept up a continuous din:
The fog lifted at about 9:3C
and the voyage was resumed
after delay of four hours,
and Detroit was reached at 1886
