An Invitation 10 Those Who Are Strangers,

An Invitation 10 Those Hno Are Strangers
The citizens of Canyon City and the
County of Randall know that they live
in a great country filled with opportuni-
ties for the energetic farmer and bust
ness man and they can therefore invite
the outside world to come ana investi-
gate the great possibilities. They know
that concientious investigation is all that
IS needed in order to convince even the
most conservative. Drones are not in
the class which is wanted-the people
here are wide-awake and believe in get
ting up and doing things. This invita-
tion is to those who want to prosper.

hunt in the town of Elderon and as a
result of their work they shot and
killed four of the animals, MIR and Mrs
Bear and two little Bears. A resident
of Eland Jet had previously been sur

TORY Cedar company of Clintonville,
when he came across a bears ''nest."
He at the time saw but one bear, but
having no fire arms and being alone he
thought it a good plan to make prepar
ations before beginning a siege. He
summoned reinforcements and the

place was again visited This time
there were four bears at home instead
of one, and by expert maneuvering and
well directed si1ots the four were laid

For the benefit of fishermen and
hunters who desire to make their
clothes waterprooi, the Pn-or publishes
the following recipe:
Take eight ounces of sugar of lead,
eight ounces OF powdered alum and two
and enc half gallons of luke warm
water, mix in tub and let stand for
twenty-four hours. Stir thoroughly
when first mixed and occasionally for
the first hour, TO dissolve the ingred
tents. Take the garment (overcoat,
suit or dress, anything of wollen or
cotton maieriaD brush thoroughly, and
let soak for twenty -four hours. Take
out, let drip until almost dry then press
as usual. Water will fall off as from
the proverbial ducks back One can
use suit treated in this way, on hunt
ing trips and in a driving ram and
come home dry. 1t does not destroy or
interfere with the ventilation or injQre
the fabric in the smallest degree. The
quantities as given here cost about
twenty cents, and will successfully
waterproof an overcoat and suit, or in
proportion.

A NEW INVENTION.

z. S. Hamrick and S. B Tobey, re-
spectively supervisor of manual train,
ing and superintendent of the Wausau
high school, have patented sanitary
drinking fountain, as shown in the ac-
companying illustration. This is the
best thing which has as yet been put on
the market in the way of sanitary
fountain A year ago a4arge proper
ton of the school children of Wausau
were afflicted with scabby mouths due,
it was thought, to so many using the
same cup to drink out of. The teachers
did all they could to prevent the spread
of contagion, but their efforts were use
less and finally the disease, whatever
it was, run out at the heel and ended.
This condition of affairs set these two
gentlemen thinking and after consider
able experimenting they succeeded in
perfecting the fountain here shown.
The principal is this: The spray head
shown in the glass cup is drilled at
such an angle that the water is thrown

NEW HOME.

When MIR and Mrs. Anton Dern re
tire from the Northern hotel July |.
they will take up housekeeping in a
new cottage house. The brick barn on
the hotel premises, which was built at
the time the hotel was constructed over
twenty years ago. is being torn down
as rapidly as weather conditions will
allow. This is done to make room for a
nine room brick house Mr.. and Mrs,
Dern will build, and which they hope
to have ready for occupancy by mid
summer AT the latest. The barn was
no longer needed, for since Frank
Menier has taken charge of the hotels
bus business, MIR. Dern has sold most of
his horses, reserving but two and these
with two buses will be disposed of
soon. On July l, as previously stated
in these columns, the hotel manage
ment passes into the hands of MeSSrs.

A BIG BILL.

0pie Reed, the humorous novelist,
once wrote story entitled, "Big Bill
and Little Bill" This story was brought
to our mind by little incident of few
days ago, though the story has nothing
to do with the incident, but merely the
title. Big Bill made his appearance in
Mosinee and then in Wausau, and a
number of Little Bills have taken his
place in his old haunts. The story runs
thusly:
The State Bank of Mosinee one day
recently sent a 81 900 bill to the Nation
al German American bank of this city
to have broken" and was aceommo-
dated The bill came into the posses
sion of the first named bank through a
farmer living near Kuowlton, who de-
sired some change. The state bank
was unable to give its equivalent in
bills of a smaller denomination without
crippling its supply of small money,
and so forwarded it here. Seldom does
bill of so large a denomination find
its way into village bank and they
are not over plentiful in the larger
institutions. When one does appear il
is carefully scrutinized to find out
whether or not there are any marks OF
ungenuineness about it.
The fact that this bill was presented
to the bank by farmer speaks words
above a whisper for the thrift and sta
bility of our farmers the wealthiest, as
a class, in the United States. In most
communities the farmer is wearing his
toe nails off trying to pay the interest
on the s'plaster" on his farm.

BURGLARS AROUND.

Quite a number of the homes in
Grand Rapids were entered by burglars
last week They seemed to be after
money and left everything else undis-
turbed. In two OF the homes The burg
lars Ewere discovered and beas hasty
retreat. The police were notified and
the city r-etty well stirred up but the
burglars could not be apprehended.
The city of Stevens Point was stirred
up recently by burglars visiting various
homes. Wausau citizens had better
get their shooting irons in shape as
these ight-ingered gents may be
making their way north on account OF
the increasing warmth where they have
been conducting business. If one gets
in pinch and has no revolver at hand
he can do as former Wausauite did
recently. A burglar entered his home,
which is now in the east, turned on the
electric light in the dining room and
prepared to take charge of the solid
silver. The aforementioned citizen
awoke and seeing the light, tci4 his
wife that there was some oDe besides
themselves in the house. She told him
that he must be dreaming; but the next
thing she heard was her husband say
ing: Il will give you just one second
to get out of this house or will shoot
you" The burglar made hurried
exit. The man had nothing with which
to shoot, so he picked up something
that looked like shooting iron and
made the bluff which worked very
successfully. The burglar had been in
every room in the house and even taken
money from dresser close to the bed
in which they were sleeping. Anyway,
be prepared
