Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy as pie" and that the fives are
not much harder; but, slight as is the
mental effort required in multiplying
any number by five, it may be lessened
still more by discarding the multiplier
entirely and substituting a divisor in
stead. This may sound paraGoxicaI,
but by experimenting you will find
that dividing by two will bring the
same result as multiplying by five,
provided you add a cipher to the quo
tent if the dividend be an even num-
Der or FIVE if it be odd. For instance,
if you multiply 2.734 by five the prod
uct is 1860. What is still easier, di-
vide 2,734 by two, which is done al
most instantaneously; then tack on
your 0 and you have 1850.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 8, 1909.
Thus far he is observing about the
same office hours that Mr.. Roosevelt
observed. He expects to get over to
his Office about $3.50 in the morning,
which is half hour earlier than Mr..
Roosevelt was accustomed to getting
there. Mr.. Roosevelt usually went to
luncheon about l o'clock. Mr.. Taft
plans to go to luncheon about 2
o clock. He has started out by TAX
ing little exercise daily. Thus far
his exercise has been principally walk
ing. His first exercise, after his inau.
guration, was to go walking in the snow
and slush with his two brothers. AL
though heavy man in avoirdupois
the President can walk very rapidly
more rapidly than suits his average
walking companion. He walks so fast
when he tries, that some men would
have to proceed at dog trot to KEEP
up. On the morning of March 5, ths
Seventh New York regiment, which
arrived in Washington too late for tbs
inaugural parade, asked that the Pres
ident review them from the main in
| augural stand. He put on his hat ant
| walked across the White Hous,
grounds at pace which only the bes
of pedestrians could equal. uoverno
Hughes of New York had made
| special request for the review and wa
walking around very lively himsel
that morning. But the Governor wa
out of breath keeping up with tn,
| President.
Probably President Taft will no
| work as much very late at night a
| Mr.. Roosevelt used to do but he vii
arise earlier in the morning. He ex
poets to put plenty of work upon hi
cabinet officers, to whom he will leav'
| many things that Mr.. Roosevelt uset
| to look after in person. There ha
been great difference among Presi
dents il that regard and according a
more work is placed upon eabine
| officers are they allowed real import
ance in the conduct of an administra
ton. 1t used to be said that Mr. CIeve
| land IS cabinet officers were little NOR.
| than clerks Harrison relied much upol
| his cabinet, as did Mckinley. Some
| Presidents seek the advice of cabine
| officers more and others less. Presiden
Taft, as indications go up to the presen
| moment, intends to benefit from tn
| advice of his cabinet and to weigh thei
| opinions carefully before deciding upol
/ a course of action. He had said tina

STARTING THE WHEELS OF
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

that he might have the benefit of the
soundest and most expert legal advice
On every important step he might take.
He has had already TO face an influx
OF oficeseekers, but they have not been
as numerous as at the beginning of
some former administrations. The vol
ume of applications for office are piling
up daily. Senators and Representatives
of the Republican party are flocking
over the threshold to urge appoint
ments. The extra session of the SEN
ate adjourned after three days and the
proclamation calling an extra session
of Congress to convent March Is has
been issued. In the brief time inter
vening, most members of the law max
ing body are tarrying in town and the
Republicans thereof are improving the
time to some extent by ascertaining
what can be expected from the Taft
tree of patronage.
AS matter of fact, however, there
will be fewer offices TO fill than most
persons might suppose, for there is, of
| course, no change in politics or of poll
| cies between the two administrations
and many thousands of officeholders,
| nominated for a four years term, will
| be allowed to serve out their time. A
| half dozen Ambassadors and a score of
+ Ministers plenipotentiary will be dis
placed and also about score of men
filing important administrative posi-.
| lions in the departments.
| Tariff Revision.
| Just at present President Taft is
most concerned about obtaining an
early revision of the tariff What he
has said in public speeches and in his
| inaugural address about the importance
| of an early revision upon the revival
of business he is emphasizing in detail
during his talks with influential visi
tors. "Uncle Joe' Cannon has recent
ly stated that every day of delay in
completing the revision probably means
difference of $10,000,000 to the coun-
| try in production and consumption. The
| President agrees thoroughly with that
| idea and he loses no opportunity to
smooth the way as much as possible
! for the legislation. Special efforts have
| been made during the last two or three
weeks to encourage the most friendly
| relations with Congress and it is one
| of the most pleasing features of Mr.
| Taft rs early days in the White House
that Senators and Representatives OF
all factions have reciproeated in kind
and have given him the most cordial
assurances of their desire to cooperate
with him. Among his first callers, the
day after Inauguration, were the Re-
publicans of the Ways and Means Com
| mittee, who have as good as completed
| their revision bill, upon which the
| finishing touches are being put this

proposition to increase the President s
salary to 100000 year, which was
carried on the same appropriation bill,
was saved only in part. The opposi.
sition to it was the same opposition
that fought the additional Offices in
the Department of State
Taft's Salary $4,000.
BY the agreement which was finally
reached, President Taft viii have q
salary of $4,000 a year. or $6250 a
month. 1t is more than was ever paid
TO any previous President in salary.
But Congress cut off the allowance of
$4,000 year for travelling expenses
which it has been giving to President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt did not
spend all of that amount for travelling.
and it will not cost Mr. Taft. prob.
ably, half of $4,000 year for trans
portation. Therefore, all round. he
gains something in compensation
New Attorney General.
There is great official interest in the
new Attorney General, Mr. Wicker
sham, because he will be one of the
most important of cabinet officers dur
ing the next four years and also be-
cause as a public official he is an I'M
known quantity in Washington. He
was the tirst of the cabinet to be sworn
in, and, in fact, took the oath on Fri
day, after the Inauguration, the day
before most of his colleagues took the
oath.
President Taft intends to place great
| reliance upon Mr.. Wickersham in out
! lining the policy to be followed toward
the trusts and corporations. He ha:
| said recently that he does not propose
| to make s'special'' the libel suits in
the name of the government, which
President Roosevelt pressed with grea
zeal, but that he would regard then
| simply as eases before the Department
| of Justice, like many other cases there
Mr. Wickersham will probably hav,
as much important business to bring
to the cabinet table as any other o.
Mr. Taft's advisers.
Secretary Macveagh.
! The new Secretary of the Treasury
! Mr.. Frank MacVeagh of Chicago, wa
the last cabinet officer to be selected
and probably will be the last to b.
| sworn in. There is an interesting
| story in inside circles as to the car,
which Mr.. Taft exercised in selecting
this cabinet officer, who has great fl
naneial problems to tackle during th'
next year or two. AS Mr. MacVeagl
in his department will have much tt
do with questions of government rev
enues, upon which Congress will b.
called to legislate, President Taf
wanted the new Secretary of the
Treasury to be acceptable to the lead
ers in both branches of Congress
! When Mr.. Taft was last in New York
he sent for Senator Aldrieh, who wa'
asked his opinion of Mr.. MaeVeagl
and was then requested, on returning

Reform Legislation.
President Taft has prepared much of
MS program for six or eight months.
just as soon as the tariff bill is out
OF the way, he has promised to work
out recommendations for reform legis-
latlon IN line with the Roosevelt poll
cles for the control of railroads and
other corporations He has said with
IN day or two, as demonstrating some
thing of his general purpose, that he
wishes to urge as few and as brief
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
law as may be. He does not want to
disturb business by sweeping legisla-
tive changes; neither does he want leg
islation SO sweeping that it will render
useless large body of judicial opinions
affecting the Interpretation of existing
laws. He will not encourage Congress
to touch any other general legislation
than that affecting the tariff at its
extra session.
The Secretary of State.
Secretary of State Knox, like most
of his cabinet colleagues, had a happy
induction into office. Because of his
long cabinet experience as Attorney
General under two different Presidents
he knew how to settle down to business
promptly as soon as he and most of the
other cabinet officers had gone to the
White House Saturday morning and al
taken the oath as administered by
Chief Justice Fuller.
The first man to congratulate Secre
tary Knox was his prospective success
sor in the Senate, George 7. Oliver
of Pittsburg. Mr.. divers appearance
at the State Department was the sig
nal for the fixing up of political differ
ences between him and Mr.. Knox, tn,
latter having favored the election o
Representative Jimmie Burke, o
pittsburg, for Senator. AS soon as con
gratulations were over Secretary Kno,
and Mr.. Oliver talked senatorial poll
ties for a few moments and the Secre
tary assured the prospective Senate
of support in winning the election
which will take place at Harrisburg
| next week. Mr.. Oliver had alread.
virtually won his fight. He afterwar'
/ had talk with Representative Burke
in which they settled their difference
and parted in political friendliness. Thi
done Mr.. Oliver hurried back to Penn
sylvania expecting to return here il
about ten days with his credentials ant
to take the oath as Senator forthwith
Secretary Knox has been disap
pointed because the Congress refused
to authorize an under secretary or vie'
secretary of state and also a fourth
assistant secretary. He wanted those
two officials to facilitate the work Of
the State Department during his ad
ministration there. The Senate voted
the authority for the two additional
offices with alacrity, but the House
was stoutly opposed and fought tht

WAS MURDERED.

Since our last issue we learn that
the Shawano county authorities are
of the belief that the man found dead
Sunday, Aug. 15, near the line be
tween Shawano and Marathon coun-
ties was murdered. Two small holes,
one on each side of his hat, led the
officials to make an examination OF
the mans head, with the result that
a bullet hole was found in the mans
cranium. The bullet had evidently
been fired from rifle or a large cali
bre revolver for it passed through the
mans head.
The body when found was lying
near a windfall in place little
trayerSed and had evidently beer
there for some time, for it was badly
decomposed. No fire arm of any kind
was found and there was nothing N
the pockets Of the man So which ht
might be identified. He was dressed
as laborer.
The body was found not far from
Eland Jet. and the officers here were
notified at the time, it being thought
at first that the body was sying OF

NEW LUMBER PRICE LISTS.

New price lists on northern pine
lumber were issued the. past week,
they being the first issued since Jan.
1st. All low grade lumber has been
reduced $1.00 thousand, to bring the
list somewhere the actual market.
Since the panic of 1907, the demand
for low grades has been very slack
and there has been surplus to which
the mills are continually adding. No.
3 boards are cut $l.00 per thousand
on all lengths No. 4 boards, which
are staple in the box trade are re-
duced from SIS to Sl4. No. 5 boards
are cut So thousand, dropping from
S11 to IS. Piece stuff and rough lum-
Der remain about the same. The only
advances are on the highest grade
lumber which is getting relatively
scarce. The sd and better" grades,
both inch and thick finish, which is
used for factory lumber, is advanced
Sl.00 a thousand 1t is rather of a
disappointment to have prices take a
downward slide on the eve of BOOM
ing times and after two years of de
preston.

A FRESH AIR HOME.

A few weeks ago Harvey Dee Brown
of Milwaukee came to Wausau and
made arrangements for showing the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
tion's exhibit, which followed a few
days later. Mr.. Brown is the out
door lecturer for the association
While here he visited the new home
which jeremiah Johnson is building
at Sl2 Fulton street and was much
impressed with it. In recent
lecture before an assemblage of several
thousand persons in Milwaukee, Mr..
Brown said:
Mr.. Johnson is setting an example
that may well be followed and Is
showing the way to the pathway of
good health in novel manner" said
| Mr.. Brown.
He is completing work on a new
residence which embodies advanced
ideas of home building. 1t is a fresh
air palace i'm itself On the east side
of the building, roomy balcony has
been erected and divided into sleep
ing apartments. The balcony is en-
closed by screens, and bed under a
tree or in the open field cannot afford
more fresh air-one of the greatest
necessities for right living. The
home, throughout, is arranged with
view TO obtaining all the fresh ali
| possible.
Mr. Johnson and his wife are ardent
advocates of fresh air and plenty OF
/ il. As result, they are rugged and
healthy. BY building this home, they
are doing inestimable good. Ii Sll
homes were built along these lines,
we would have need of fewer sanator.

COULDN'T AGREE.

A meeting of the village board of
Schofeld was called last Friday sven-
ing to further consider the tax con-
troyersy between the village and the
Brooks & Ross Lumber company.
As at previous meeting mentioned
last week in this paper, Atty. Jos.
w. Coates appeared for the village
and NJ. B. Rosenberg for the lumber
company. Mr.. Rosenberg proposed
as compromise measure that s25, 900
be knocked off the valuation of the
stock of lumber, logs, mill and other
property of the company, then he
said the company would make no
further protest against the asses
ment, though the owners of the
property would still feel that they
had been unjustly assessed. The
board did not view the matter in that
light, and rejected the proposition.
A resolution was then passed proyid-
ing that the state tax commission be
'importuned TO cause a reasSesSment
TO be made of all property within the
confines of the village.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.

John Zilke, a former resident of
Wausau, was arrested in Milwaukee
Thursday by Undersheriff Frank
|O'Connor, the man being charged
with the crime of arson. Zilke re-
sided in this city for period prior to
Feb. g. 1908, he being a boarder at
the home of Rev. A. +. Lemke, COS
Jefferson street. lin the forenoon of
the day previous to the above date a
fire started in the home in some
mysterious way, the damage being
The incident would have passed
further netice had it not been for the
fact that next day Zilke shook the
snow of Wausau from his brogans
and departed from the city. After
his departure it is said other occu-
pants of the house complained of
missing various articles of clothing,
and they formed the opinion that
Zilke had got away with them and
had set fire to the closet give the
impression that the clothes had been
burned.
f. J. Vanderboom of Marinette,
deputy fire warden, investigated the
fire and decided to have warrant
issued for the arrest of Zilke, but it
was only few days ago that the
man was located. He was serving a
term in the Milwaukee house of cor
rection for larceny. His sentence ex-
pired Thursday and as he was escorted
outside the prison gateMr. O'Connor
arrested him and brought him here.
He was brought into municipal
court FridaI, waived examination
and bound over for trial in circuit
court. Unable to furnish bonds Of
$500 he was placed in jail. Zilke is a
man who has passed the meridian of
life.
