by {. III. Hofmeister of Woodruff, a
hotel keeper The former owner re-
ceived Sll 500 for it, with the privilege
of occupancy and collection of rent un-
til May /. The plans of the new owner
are not settled, but he is of the opinion
that he will in time move here and oc-
cupy the building himself. The build
ing has frontage of 25 feet and is
three stories in height. The lower floor
is occupied by Anderson q Belanger as
a saloon, the second floor as living
quarters and the Third as store rooms.
1t was built by ex-Assemblyman Her
man Miller over twenty years ago and
the lower floor has been occupied as a
saloon ever since Mr. Hofmeister
plans to made number of alterations
fhe price paid is considered by real
estate men as very cheap. The site is
valuable because of its location and the
solid brick building and fixtures on it
could not be replaced for what they
cost.

NEW STATE PRESIDENT.
Lamar Sexmith of Wausau Elected
State President of the Y M. G. 4.
Character of the Choice.

At the recent state convention of the
Y M. G. A held at Wausau, Lamar
4Sexmith of that city was elected state
president of that organization.-New
Item
To those who know hia, not, but who
love the organization, the above will be
read in the profound belief that whoever
and whatever the new president is, the
association, because of its high charac-
ter, its splendid achievements and the
wisdom of those who shape its policy,
an excellent choice has been made and
an extended career of usei illness will be
entered upon.
To those who know him, it is story
of triumph written before the battle,
the details ci victory sure to follow,
every feature of which rests upon the
substantial foundation of a life whose
achievements have been of just that
character which the Y NJ G. A. con-
tinually aspires to. Reading between
the lines, and that is usually the most
accurate and reliable, the future writ
ing will tell of the quiet and unosten,a-
tious leader, who gets so close to the
young men of Wisconsin, that he can
feel their heart beats, detect the un-
healthy character of their moral pulse
throbs and so effectually point out to
them better, more useful and more
enduring way of living, that the uplift-
ing influence of his life and work will
constantly tell of the preparation of a
future citizenship, in which all the state
will rejoice. His work as president of
the Y. M. G. A. at Wausau has been one
OF signal triumph and will live long
after the magnificent building dedicated
year ago shall have outlived its useful
ness and the splendid silver loving cup
given him on that occasion, shall have
lost its brightness. The Y. M. &. A. of
Wisconsin is to be congratulated and
the state has occasion to rejoice. We
know the man. Wild Rose Times.

BIG STORM.

The storm of Friday, it appears, was
general throughout the state. but this
section did not suffer as much as did
the southern part of the state, and the
Middle West generally The snow fall
in this section was not very great, but
there was a very heavy wind prevailing
which drifted highways and railroads
to considerable extent. The path of
the storm seems to have been in a
northeasterly direction, starting from
Oklahoma and increasing in fury until
Southern Wisconsin was reached. In
some sections snow and sleet was driven
by ninety mile gale, resulting in put
ting telegraph, telephone and train
service out of business. In the south
ern part of the state most all trains
were stalled by snow drifts and on the
great lakes ships were held in harbors
The metropolitan papers say it was the
worst storm in years. The city of Mil
waukee was almost entirely cut off
from communication with the outside
world
Trains on the roads entering Wausau
were delayed Friday and Saturday, be-
cause of snow drifts The morning
north bound trains on the st Paul were
about three hours late each day, and
all of the passenger trains on that road
were drawn by two engines.
1t was pay with interest for the ten
days of spring-like weather we enjoyed
previously. b. +. Mcmillan of McMil-
Ian. will be obliged for p time at least
to forget that stock story of his regard
ing seeing frogs roasted on logs in his
hot pond. Had there been any in sight
blown the spots off them.

A Common Cold.

Werlaim that if catching cold could
be avoided some of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
of. A cold often forms a culture bed
for germs of infections diseases. Con-
pneumonia, diphtheria and
scarlet fever, four of the most danger
Gus and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the developement of the germs
of these diseases, that would not other
wise find Judgement. There is little
danger howeyer,of any of these dis
eases being contracted when a good ex-
pectorant cough medicine like Cham
hsT,ain,s Cough Remedy is used. II
cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs of these
diseases. That is why this remedy
has proved so universally successful in
preventing pneumonia. 1t not only
cures your cold quickly, but minimizes
the risk of contracting dangerous dis
eases. For sale by w. w. Albers.

AN OLD GUN,

While attending an auction sale re-
Gently upon the farm of Henry friedrich
in the town of Easton, E. G. Kretlow
purchased an old relic. A single barrel
gun was offered for sale and because of
its quaint character he purchased it,
paying 25e The gun is without doubt
the oldest of any in the county. A
brass plate on the stock shows that it
was made in 1928, or 81 years ago. 1t
is of French manufacture and though
it has history the history is not com
plete.- 1t was manufactured at time
when cartridges were unknown the
csarge being fired with percussion
CAP Sc on the side of the barrel. The
barrel is longer than the gun of the
present time, and the arm is supposed
to have been an accurate firing piece
in its day.
As near as can be learned the gun
was originally owned by French
revolutionist At time when the city
of Paris was seething with revolution,
when streets were barricaded against
the soldiery and France was passing
through a crisis which resulted IN the
writing of red pages OF history, this
arm did service. After the revolution
airy days it descended from father 10
son until the Franco-Prussian war. 1t
was tnen owned By peasant in the
province Of Lorraine who used il IN de-
tense of the Invading army, but it was
captured and eventually fell into the
possession of Mr.. Fredrick's father.
When the family emigrated to this
country the gun was brought here and
has been relic in the family uutil the
recent auction sale, Mr. kretIow
bought il merely for curiosity.

against 50, ,4s3.2 for last year, or gain
of 1928 26.

year 1900, and during Its existence has
proved to be money-maker for those
who have invested in its capital stock
At the annual meeting cash dividend
of Is per cent was declared. The fol-
lowing directors were elected:
G. S. Gilbert, f. P. Stone, A. l..
Kreutzer, of Wausau; C. B. Barrett,

board.

existence has proved very successful
venture. 1t covers most of the impor-
tent territory of the county and connects
with most country lines, as well as the

BANKRUPT.

The F. M. Logan store has been de-
c.ared bankrupt and the stock and
affairs of the concern are in the hands
of a receiver. This action was taken
upon the petition of the proprietor and
the Wisconsin Valley Trust Co. is act
ing as receiver. The creditors will
meet shortly and select trustees who
will handle affairs until a settlement is
made. The liabilities are said to be
about S29. 600, with assets footing up to
about half that amount. For some time
it has been currently reported that the
financial affairs of the store were in
a bad way, hence the notice of bank
ruptey did not come as surprise. The
store has been doing fairly good busi-
ness but there was not enough capital
back of it to carry the book accounts.

TAXING FISHERMEN.

The people of Minocqua and other
northern lake towns are getting worked
up over a proposed law to tax non resi-
dent fishermen ;,meetings are called in
various towns to protest against the
bill. The Minocqua Times, in com
menting upon the situation, says
at seems that Northern Wisconsin
is getting it in the neck lately. The
forest reserve is taking away our tax
able property and shutting out settlers.
A corporation is now in control of the
rivers and streams, and now they want
to tax the fisherman so as to keep them
out. Ii won't be long until they will
be wanting 10 charge license for run
ming a boat on our inland lakes.

New British Cavalry Sword.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The pattern Of the new cavalry sword
has now been approved for manufacture.
1t differs from those Of previous pattern
chiefly in being fitted with straight Ia
pering blade to facilitate thrusting. The
guard is shaped to afford more protection
on the left side, and the grip is formed
TO fl the hand. a recess for the thumb
being cut IN the back. The scabbard is a
straight taper from end to end and made
Of steel The weight of the sword is about
two pounds fourteen ounces, and of the
scabbard one pound six ounces.
Historically the Times observes, the
adoption of a thrusting sword is of inter
est as being a reversion to the single
edged rapier of the seventeenth century,
the period when, according to some of our
most eminent authorities, the qualities Of
fighting sword were best understood,
armor having practically gone out of use
and firearms being still very imperfect.
Such an authority AS Capt. Hutton is
understood to object to sword special
lied for thrusting. on the ground that a
man cannot fight his way out of crowd
with 1t. 1t may. too, be objected that the
sword is comparatively heavy, but that
may be due to the British troopers we'll
known prejudice in favor of certain
amount of weight.
