ate judiciary committee held to con-
slider a bill to prevent the sending
of race track gambling information
by telegraph or telephone.
The Norwegian sage sat at the
head of the table. Thin, nervous,
bearded men who had turned from
the pulpit to fight evil had to hand
were grouped opposite him. They
led off with voluble denunciations
of bookmakers and poolrooms.
Look here, let's have some eX-
PLANTATION" suddenly spoke up Nell
son. what is poolroom?" How is
business done Yn a poolroom?"
The crowd looked at him, ready to
laugh at the joke, but suddenly real
lied that he was in earnest. Smil-
ing at his own innocence Nelson
continued: 81 never saw a horse
race and l want to understand this
thing. Why do you call man a
bokmaker? What does he do?"
A reformed "Oookie," who had
Joined the uplift when track in
which he was interested was put out
of business, undertook to explain
the mystery. Unconsciously, how
ever. he used some technical terms
that left his answers a little foggy.
Glow do they bet?" insisted Mel
son.
"Well, I'm the bookmaker-the
man who takes the bets-and you
are the bettor," explained the eX-
horseman. In the first race there
are eight horses and I show you
their names and the odds. Well say
LadyUlma is 2 to 1 and you want
to bet So. I give you aticket that
says $40 to So"
do l bet with you"
Yes, that's right, bet with
everybody" said the bookie.
What if I VIM" asked the sena-
tor.
You get the $40 you won and
in addition, the IS you put up as a
stake, is returned"
The senator smiled approvingly
But what if / lose?" he asked.
"Then you keep the ticket as a
souvenir" was the reply, and the
senator joined in the general merri-
ment.
Near the. close of the hearing the
! senator brought up the question
again with the observation; 81
have heard of poolrOoms where they
play a kind of billiards on a cloth
covered table, but l would like tc
know how the poolrooms you gen
tlemen refer to are conducted"
The ex-bookmaker started TO ans
wer, but somebody interrupted ant
the senator's quest was lost in the
discussion of another subject.

HIGH SCHOOL ITEMS.

Mr.. Parlin in his opening speech
before the high school yesterday told
of the period of encouragement that
often time comes to high school stu
dents and especially to those who
have just entered. He urged each to
tide over to this short period, to stick
to it and remain in high school what
ever happens. He advised the fresh
men to come to the faculty and to
the upper classmen when in trouble,
assuring them cordial reception.
Up to this time, part of the eighth
grade has been seated in the high
school assembly hall, but this year
the hall is occupied entirely by the
high school students.
Miss auckland, one of the English
teachers, has been called home on
account of death in the family, and
will not be in school for few days.
c. j TeSelle, the history teacher,
is suffering from an abscess in the
throat and will not begin teaching
until he has recovered, which will
not be until about November LIST. In
the meanwhile, Mr.. Taylor of Green
Lake, a member of this years class at
the state university, will take his
place.
Miss Mayme Myers who was to have
taught the kindergarten in the Pres
byterian chapel on the west side, was
unable to come at present because of
illness in the family. AS repairs are
also being made upon the chapel,
school will not be resumed there I'M
til about the last of next month.
The Athletic association met last
night to elect officers and to plan the
football season.
Mac Alexander, the captain of the
foot ball team was reelected presi-
dent. Mark Gearhart was elected
vice-president and Oscar Eggebrecht
secretary.
The constitution was signed by the
new members of which there are a
promising bunch.
In his speech, Pres. Alexander urged
every member TO get out for foot ball
and said that the outlook for good
team was very good. Wylie Sampson,
member of last years team, spoke
along the same lines.
Mr.. Schneider, the coach, said that
the one aim toward which he would
work was to defeat Grand Rapids.
We have defeated them on the track
and in basketball and now is our
time to rout them in foot ball Our
hardest games this year are to be
away from home and we will have to
have corker of a team to win. Mr..
Schneider says there is good enough
material in the school if it can be in
tereSted.

At Marathon County Asylum Farm
Wausau, September 20, 1909.

A farmers demonstration meeting
will be held at the asylum farm at
Wausau on September 20, from | to
4:30 p. m. Supt. Jos. Roehl has Co
operated with the agronomy depart
ment of the Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University of Wiscon-
sin, with the purpose of introducing
upon the asylum farm, methods of
handling and improving farm crops
which will be of benefit to the farm
and at the same time serve as demon
strations of these methods to the
farmers of the community. An effort
will be made to make the asylum farm
seed grain center where local farmers
can in the future, get pure bred seeds
at reasonable prices. The crops
grown and the methods used will be
shown to the farmers at annual
demonstration meetings held on the
farm.
Only part of the work proposed
has been started this year and next
year it will be extended. The present
meeting is intended as an introduc-
tory meeting for the work. Methods
of work will be discussed and the
grains grown on the farm this year
will be shown. The meeting will be
conducted by Prof. c. P. Norgord of
the agronomy department.
The program for the day will be as
follows:
Wisconsin Pedigree Grains their
production, value and dissemination.
Denomination of pure bred grains
grown on asylum farm.
Smut and rusts with demonstration
of the use of formaldehyde in treating
grains for smut.
Corn culture and seed selection.
Address: "The relation of the
county agricultural school to the
farmers of \ .athon county," by

thon county school.

Hartman,

Hartman, the wizard of Wall street
is dead. He was the Jay Gould of his
day. But he was greater than Gould
for where Gould destroyed, Har-
riman builded.
Hartman was buccaneer upon the
financial seas. He became the master
pirate. He was hated and feared
wherever there are men "that have a
dollar" No man with railway in
his possession felt secure. Now that
he is dead, they join in paying tribute
to his memory. Yet they are relieved.
Hartman was genius. He was a
remarkable and marvellous man, in
which were mingled the good and bad.
The theologians, we believe, have a
theory of total deprayity. But there
is no man so bad that he is not with
out good qualities, though they may
escape detection. With such man IS
Hartman, whose activities embraced
the affairs of a continent, any one
phase of his character was large
enough to arrest and hold the atten-
tion of the average man.
Hartman looted the Alton. But he
rebuilt the Union Pacific. He created
a great network of railways with their
threat of transportation monopoly,
but he emphasized the fact that the
railway in itself is natural monopoly
and that the public interests lie in rail
way consolidation and public control.
Hartman might have lived his life
and have escaped the storm of criti-
cism and censure that broke about
his head had it not been his misfor
tune to fall out with his friend and
political associate Theodore Roose-
Welt But that is another story. Har-
riman is dead and Roosevelt is alive.
We shall hear more OF it. 1t will
do for another day.
There may be furry on the stock
market. The Hartman dream of en-
pire viii be interrupted. But he is
not the last of his kind. There will
be other Harrimans. There will be
more railway consultations more
high financing-more looting. The
struggle has not endea. The prize is
a rich one and the spirit of adventure
is not dead. Milwaukee News.

THERg is not paper Of any note
that comes TO the PsLor's table but
what is denouncing Peary fer his at
titude on the north pole controversy.
1t seems that Peary is 50 thoroughly
worked up because DIR. Cook reached
the pole one year in advance of any
other person, that he is willing TO say
or do anything that will discredit
him. Cook, or the contrary, is acting
as becomes a gentleman and simply
asks the world to await his proofs
which he says viii be sufficient to
convince the most skeptical.

A PRETTY LOCATION.

On the first page is mentioned the
purchase of tract of 10 acres Of land
near the southern limits of the city
by VIM. r. Chellis. Since the above
was written Mr.. Chellis has decided
to plat the same into half acre lots at
once and place them on the market,
and he should have no difficulty in
disposing of them in hurry. The
city is built up to the property and
will continue to move that way for
years to come. 1t therefore stands
one in hand to get in on the ground
floor.
AS beauty spot this tract has no
superiors in this section. Mr.. Chellis
intends to let the white pine grove
stand as it is, and the buyers of lots
can do as they please regarding the
disposition of the trees they buy.
The land overlooks Rib river bottom,
which will be oyerfiowed and form
part of lake Wausau when the Roths-.
childs dam is built. For one who
wants plot for summer home there
is no more desirable territory sur
rounding Wausau, with boating and
fishing right at the door.
The day has passed when one can
buy lots within the confines Of the
city at reasonable figure and secure
good location. One must now go
outside the city and then is not sure
that he will be satisfied. Here then
is the opportunity-half acre lots at a.
low figure where even chronic
kicker can live in contentment, from
summers glow to winters snow, and
all the year around.

WE are mighty glad man by the
name of Cook found the North pole.
In the last election it was our hope
that a man by the same name from
Neenah would find place in Wash
ington as u. S. senator but his balloon
bursted like Wellman's and he has
been busy ever since picking up the
pieces. While on this subject would
it not be well to petition congress to
change the constitL Jon aud make the
gum drop the national emblem of
sweetness. OF course there are lots of
things equally as sweet but it was
through the influence of the gum drop
that the North pole was found. Guess
ing at their weakness Cook took along
several barrels of this candy and when
the natives tasted it they would have
fought polar bear to get more They
liked them like porcupine does salt
bacon and when Cook offered his cargo
if they would help him find the North
pole they could not get in their skins
fast enough. If the task had been TO
find out who struck Billy Patterson
they would have enlisted their services
just the same. Anyway the North
pole is owned by the United States
and its about the only thing it does
own. The trusts own everything
else. Marshfield News.

CONGRESSMAN MORSE of Amigo,
who voted for the tariff bill, says: '"The
whole attitude of the country is selfish.
| stood for tariff on lumber and print
paper because the interest of my dis
trict demanded it. Such was the case
with the other congressman each had
interests which he was elected to pro-
tect." This is the testimony of re-
publican congressman. What kind of
a county board outfit do we keep down
there at Washington if this is speci-
men of them? And where does the
consumer get represented?- Weyau-

THE LaFollette campaign is get
ting well under way and active work
commenced by his friends for his
reelection to the United States SEN
ate. Win Stephenson's money vaults
stand another touching up similar to
that of last fall? If SO, will that vast
expenditure of money turn any votes
against "Bob?" Doesn't it look as if
the Stephenson money, and the de-
termination of two-thirds of the
members of the present United States
senate, to drive Senator LaFollette
out of business, viii bring strength to
the latter and make his election easy?
These and kindred questions are both
ering the stalwarts of Wisconsin and
they know not what to do.
