large number of voters from all parts
of the district who, from their stand
ing in business and politics are enr
titled to the most respectful consid-

time to state plainly the platform up
on which 1 stand.
l am a Republican and believe that
every voter should know what each
candidate stands for and what he will
do if elected.
am for a reduction of the tariff tt
such an extent as will prevent its
fatherimg of trusts and monopolies,
but believe i'm a tariff that will COM
pensate the laborer for the difference
of wages here and in Europe, if any
such difference exists.
The tariff should not be a po-
lltlcal question. l favor legislation
placing the making of tariff schedule
in the hands Of a Board of non-par-
tlSan experts.
| believe that good roads increase
the Value of the farmers crops and
benefit the whole people and that
reasonable State aid should be Civ

l believe in the regulation of rail
roads and other quasi public corpor
atlons by the government to the end
that their rates and charges to the
public shall be made fair and reason
able and the investors in the stocks
and bonds thereof protected from
fraud and Misrepresentation For
this purpose l believe state and fed

1910, about one hundred young peo-
pie ct Royalton, Wisconsin turned out
to meet the Green Bay and Western
train due at 700 p. m. to rice new
married couple that were expected to

The coupIe evidently gave them tht
slip as they were no where to be
found, but they misstook our enter
prlsing travelling salesman, Matt Err
nser, who represents the Reiland
Packing Co., of this city, for the
groom. After a shower of rice of a.
bout twenty minutes duration, Matt
came out blushing to the ends Of his

UNKNOWN MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
Nothing on Horribly MangIed
Body to Give CIew to Identity
presumed he was Circus
Employe and Fell off Cars.
. (Wausau Daily Record. !

An unidentified man was run over
and killed by one OF the Ringing
Bros circus trains near Mosinee
Saturday night. 1t is presumed he
is one of the circus attaches. The
remains were discovered by the crew
of one of the st. Paul trains, the
next day. The head and arms were
severed from the body and the body
was horribly mangled.
Coroner w. c.. Dickens of this city
was notified of the accident and went
down to view the remains and inves-
tigate the circumstances He came
to the conclusion that death was ac-
cidental An inquest therefore, was
not held.
The identity of the unfortunate
man could not be established. He
appeared to be about thirty-five years
of age. had red hair, w2a smooth
shaven, wore. clothes Of inexpensive
quality and had nothing on his per-
son except a bottle and a pipe. The
coroner ordered the remains remov-
ed to the Wegner under rtaking estab-
llshment in Mosinee, from where
they will be taken to the Mosinee
burial grounds.

A VERY GOOD IDEA

K. A. Hansen, a progressive farm
er who resides on r. F. D. No. 6
in the town of Saratoga, has given his
farm the name of "Oak Grove" and
has this sign painted ON round
sign board under which he has for
sale, and wanted, SO that the passer
by lis informed of his name, the namt
of the farm and what he has for sale
and what he wants to buy. This is
an excellent scheme which farmers
should adopt, as it individualizes the
farmers and tells what they have for
market and what they want to buy.
Along with these improvements they
should have printed letter heads and
envelopes ON which they should do
their correspond ence and in this man
ner advertise their farm.

assembled at the Lincoln school house

longer any question concerning the
ultimate success of the project. A

were reelected, three committees
were appointed, and other business
Of Importance was transacted.
The annual dues of the Alumni ass
sociation will be twenty-five cents,
and all eligible members are urgent
ly requested to comply with the con

ber A great deal depends upon the
prompt manner in which the dues
are paid.

Aside from the wool. II the sheep

many Of them are also quite particular
about the selection of the boar, but
when It comes to cattle anything that
will get calf seems to be the rule.
