LAYING THE CORNERSTONE
FOR MASONIC LODGE,

The cornerstone of TeutOnia hall. !.
the lodge home of Teutonia Lodge,
+. and A. NJ, Jersey City, n. j., was
laid on che 18th day of August and
the distinction of placing it in posi-
tion was conferred on Past Master
Jacob Ringle, cousin of the Hon. John
Ringle, of this city. Mr.. Ringle was
Wausau visitor last June and re-
manned here several weeks, making
many friends. Therefore the follow
ing brief description of the stone,
taken from the Jersey City Evening
Journal will be read with interest, viz:
''Past Master Jacob Ringle the
donor, who is a charter member of
the lodge and who had the stone
brought from King Solomon's quarries,
which are five hundred feet beneath
the City of Jerusalem. The ceremony
was opened by Worshipful Master
Sarbin, who called on Worshipful
Brother Ringle to lay the stone,
which he did, assisted by the archi-
tect.
The stone is lodged in the hall at
the entrance and on it has been cut
"Teutonic Lodge Y, lS64-19O9." :"
Above it was fastened a bronze plate
with this explanatory inscription:
''The stone below was hewn and
squared in the quarries of King Sol
ONION at Jerusalem, in the year 1909;
and presented to Teutonia Lodge, No.
II, f. and A. NJ, by Il. w. Brother
Jacob Ringle on the occasion of the
dedication of the building, Sept. 6,
1909" The formal presentation will
be part of the dedicatory ceremony,
and the indications are that they will
be held on the date fixed, as the work
is progressing rapidly.
The stone is a species of marble
blended with limestone. Mr.. Ringle
who has made several trips to the
Holy Land, said it is easily quarried
so soft that it can be cut with knife,
but when exposed to the atmosphere
it becomes as hard as flint. 1t is
necessary to obtain permission of the
Turkish officials to secure the stone,
but Mr. Ringle is familiar with the
circumyention, as he presented a sim
liar stone to the Masonic Home at
Burlington, this state, and got a cut
larger than the orthodox size "a cubic
foot allowed TO be cut out by the
government, Mr.. Ringle merely
smiled when asked how he succeeded
in being specially favored by the
Turks"

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Plans to sBuild an Electric Line Uu
the Wisconsin River Valley Through
Stevens Point.

A dispatch from Madison saws that
new railroad proposition which will
be OF vast Importance to the Wiscon-
sin river valley has been put in mo-
tion by citizens from different parts
OF this and other states. A meeting
OF those interested in the enterprise
was held at Madison few days ago.
The new company is to be known
as the Chicago and Wisconsin Valley
railway and will connect with the
Chicago line at either GAINESVILLE or
Rockford, going north to Madison,
from Madison to Portage either by
the way of<Lodi or parallel the Madi-
son-Portage road, from Portage north
through Briggsville, thence north
through the center of Adams county,
nearly its entire length. touching
Stevens Point, Grand Rapids, and
later north to Wausau and other up
state points.
The project has been under discus
sion for several months and during
the last month two meetings of pro-
moters and proposed incorporators
have been held in Portage and two
in Madison to discuss the subject and
arrange the details of organization
Plans were formulated and engi-
neers put to work who, within the
next thirty days, will traverse the
entire proposed line and report to the
men back of the proposition who pro-
pose to furnish the capital and con-
struct the road
If built it will be an electric road
and will carry both freight and pas
sengers.-St Stevens Point Journal.

THREE LITTLE GIRLS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lorenzo A. Pritchard,
who live on a farm near Staadt P. o.,
were in the city Friday, bringing
with them their four children, the
youngest of whom is about a year,
the Others nearly three. When we
say others we mean that there are
triplets in the family. Wherever
they went they were objects of inter
est, for triplets are uncommon ia a
family. If they were common
what world full of people we
would have? The little ones,
all girls, were dressed in neat lit
tie blue dresses with white trim
mings. Their plump, red cheeks and
clear, dark eyes denoted health and
they were full of activity and wide
awake to everything about them.
Lottie Leila and Lula are their names.
Mark Twain, in his story, can En-
counter With an interviewer tells
of man who lost a twin brother, in
the following words, as near as we
can remember:
''Y0u see we were twins-defunct
and and we got mixed in the bath
tub when we were only two weeks
old, and enc of us was drowned. But
we didn't know which. Some think it
wasBill Some think it was me-
This solemn, this awful mystery has
cast a gloom over my whole life. But
| will tell you secret now, which |
have never revealed TO any creature
before. One of us bad peculiar
mark-a large mole on the back of
his left hand; that was me- That
was the child that was drowned"
There is no danger of such an en-
tanglement occurring in this family.
The mother will never be obliged to
tie blue ribbon on Leila, Lottie or
Lulu to distinguish one from the
other The proyerbial peas in the
pod story don't apply to them. The
shades of their hair run from nearly a
blond to a dark brown. They are
also different in disposition.
While in the city the little girls
had their photograph taken, and, if
possible, the triplets will be exhibited
at the county fair next week, so the
father informed us.

TO ERECT GUIDE BOARDS.
All Rural Roads About Wausau Are
Soon to Have Them for Benefit Of
Travellers.

Drivers of automobiles and horses
within short time viii find it much
easier to make their way through the
rural districts of Marathon county by
guide boards erected at cross roaGs,
forks and along the public highways.
That is, there will be such guide
boards providing the different towns
observe the wording of a new law.
The state legislature at its last
session passed a law requiring the
erection of new guide boards. The
law is known as chapter 4O5 and it
provides that the town board in each
town in the state Of Wisconsin shall
erect and keep in good repair guide
Doards along all main Travelled pnblic
highways within their limits A
time limit is prescribed in the law, it
being required that such boards shall
be erected before November |, 1909.
That gave the towns only about ten
weeks in which to comply with the
law
The law provides that the boards
shall be securely fastened at the upper
end of post seven feet and half
above the surface of the ground. 1t
is prescribed that the boards shall
carry tile names of adjoining or i'm
portant cities or villages to which the
highway leads and the distance to
these places, together with any indi-
cation of direction which would be of
assistance or benefit to the traveller
The law specifies that the letters on
the boards shall be of plain Roman
style, not less than two and half
inches in height.
1t also provides that if any person
shall deface or destroy any of these
boards he shall replace it in as per-
feet condition as it was within ten
days or pay penalty of $40 and also
pay damages of three times the cost,
to the town making such repairs. 1t
is made the duty of every town sup
eryisor to make diligent inquiry in
case of injury or DETACHMENT of a
guide board and to prosecute such a
person in court in the name of the
town if the repairs are not made and
TO collect the damages prescribed by
the law.
Up to date we have heard of but
few towns in the county living up to
the law, but it is expected they will
all fall in line soon. Such guide
boards are great help to those who
are obliged to travel over country
roads.

ECHO OF THE PAST.
Supreme Court Returns Papers in
Case Started Fifty-one Years Ago.

A. A. Book, clerk of the circuit
court, on Friday last received from
Madison, files of several Marathon
county cases brought before the
supreme court half century ago.
One of them is particularly interest
ing, from the fact that names OF
several OF our once prominent citizens
are mentioned in it. They were all
then in the full fiushof manhood, but
Death has since touched the brow OF
most of<them.
This was replevin suit started in
justice court, entitled VIM. Morrison
VS.. Hiram Austin. The date of the
beginning of the action was Feb. %.
1858. From the text of the case we
find that the defendant was accused
of holding lumber belonging to the
plaintiff; the sheriff, g. L. Judson,
being ordered to levy upon seven piles
of lumber in the village of Wausau
on grounds owned or controlled by M.
p. Beebe, and two piles at Rib mills,
on grounds owned by Ben Single.
The amount of lumber claimed by
Morrison was 10000 feet, valued at
$240 or Sc per thousand. Wouldn't
some of our lumbermen of today like
to buy that stock and the grade OF
that Gay at that price? We guess
yes.
The case was started in Justice
Luman Stevens court. Hiram Calk-
ins was plaintiff IS attorney, and Ken
nedy & Chase defendants attorneys.
At the conclusion of the trial an
appeal was taken to circuit court and
the case was duly tried before Geo.
w. Cate, presiding judge. When the
case was filed Asa Lawrence was clerk
of the court, but in subsequent pro-
ceedings the name of r. p. Manson
appears as clerk. The jury, of which
Stephen Durkee was foreman, rem
dered verdict adversely to one of
the parties and the case went up to
the supreme court, Luther Dixon
then being chief justice, Milton M.
Charles court commissioner for Mara
thon county, affixing his name and
atfidayit to the papers before they
passed to the higher court. What
the decision in the supreme court was
is not shown and it is immaterial.
OF those mentioned in this case,
fourteen in all, there are nine we
know to have passed to the great be-
yond: Chief Justice Dixon, Judge
Cate, M. P. Beebee, G l.. Judson,
VIM. III. Kennedy. Stephen Durkee, r..
P. Manson, Asa Lawrence, and M. M.
Charles. 1t is quite presumable that
VIM. Morrison, Hiram Austin, Luman
Stevens and Hiram Calkins are dead.
They left this community years ago and
we lost track of them. The only one
among the fourteen whom we know
to be living is Eli r. Chase. He has
resided in California for many years
and is man now nearly, if not quite,
eighty years of age.
These papers have reposed in the
vaults of the supreme court in Madi-
son for fifty years, and recently the
court directed the chief clerk to re-
turn them to Marathon county. They
are quaint in style. There were no
typewriters in those days, everything
being written with pen and ink on
legalcap paper.

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
THE. RAISING OF TOMATOES.
Some of the Many Things the Veg
etable Can be Used For.

etable Can be Used For.
In sense, the tomato is one of the
new vegetables. There are those pres
ent who can remember when it was
called love apple and classed as fruit
Also that il was used principally as
an ornament and was considered pois-
onous. AT the present time l believe
am safe in saying that it is now the
most used Of any vegetable grown, except
the potato says a writer in the Kan
sas Farmer. While il is a tropical
plant by nature, it will produce in any
section of our country where the season
is long enough to bring it to maturity.
It's bearing season in the more tenn
perate zone is longer and the tomatoes
OF better quality than those grown in
the more aeated sections. It viii pro-
duce more or less of crop on almost
any soil and under various conditions.
It can be used in more ways and for
more purposes than any other vegetable
or fruit that grows. just think for a
moment of the different ways that the
tomato can be used, and we can read
lily see why it is so popular with the
housewife as well as the manufacturer,
There are several distinct types Of
tomatoes, with different sections fav-
oring some one or the other. But we are
more interested in the general COM
merieial type Of our own section, as
what may be very satisfactory to-
mato in some locality would not be a
profitable one for us at all. Soil, tenn
perature and elevation have much to
do with the productiyeness of various
varieties. This being true, we must
study our local conditions and plant
that which is best suited. When we 60
to buy our seed we have an almost
endless list of varieties to select from.
They vary in length of season, shape,
color, size and fifmness. We must also
remember that markets are very par
ticular regarding some Of these points,
and demand certain characteristics
which the grower must cater to. To
Illustrate, some sections find it very
profitable to grow Earliana; with me
il would be waste of time and money;
it is very productive on my soil, but
its color and quality do not suit our
market, and the trade viii not buy
it If anything better is offered.
