THE TRANSGRESSOR.
His Way Is Hard sTi He Treads on
Thorns Instead of Mosses.

Two Marathon county law breakers
were sentenced to long terms in the
state penitentiary the past week. As
stated in our last issue, VIM. Zingler
was found guilty of the murder of
Mrs. Mary Nitchie, but he did not
receive sentence until three days
later, in order that his attorneys
might make u motion for a new trial.
This they did, but the petition was
denied. His attorneys then asked for
light sentence, basing their plea upon
the evidence, which they claimed did
not merit the verdict of the jury and
was too severe. The prisoner was
asked if he had anything to say. He
made statement i'm which he claimed
that he was not guilty of the crime
charged that was the substance of it.
Judge Reid sentenced him to serve
eighteen years in the state prison, and
advised him TO be model prisoner, 50
as to reduce his sentence.
Chas. Blake, charged with setting
the fire which caused the destruction
of about $780, 900 worth of property in
the village of Mosinee on the night of
May 10, appeared in municipal court
for examination Wednesday morning.
He entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of arson, and asked that SEN
tence be pronounced without delay.
A certain hour in the afternoon was
set for imposing sentence and Blake
was brought in at that time He was
sentenced to serve seven and one-half
years in the penitentiary.
Before he appeared in court the
prisoner made a written confession.
He stated that he went into a barn
belonging to Louis Beynier on the
night of the fire, lighted a match and
threw it into pile of straw on the
floor. He then went up stairs over a
saloon building and went 30 sleep.
When this building was threatened
with destruction he was awakened and
went outside to watch the fire. He
remained ON the streets nearly all
night and finally went to O'Keefe's
livery stable and went to sleep. He
gave no plausible reason for setting
the fire, other than .that he was i'll
tempered at the time.
Mr.. Blake, when he first came to

BAD SCARE.

At the hour when the tail of Halley's
comet was supposed to have enyeloped
the earth last Wednesday night, Tom
Sullivan, -ex-sher.ff of Fond du Lac
county-at his home town, Ripon,
played practical joke on the inhabit-
ants by exploding half dozen lots Of
dynamite, the first explosion being
out several miles and each one of the
others being closer TO the city. The
last explosion was followed by an
illumination Of ghostly green light.
The effect was startling in the ex-
treme and good deal of excitement
and hysteria prevailed for some.
Perhaps Tom thought the people
were looking for something of this
kind and he did not want to see them
disappointed.

lures to express his opinions on the
political incapacity of the Egyptians
to govern themselves with all the
authority of Rooseveltian oratory.
1t is with difficulty that mind ac-
customed to range popular leaders In
the familiar genera and species of the
Old World, succeeds in realizing the
psychology of Mr.. Roosevelt. This
primarily muscular man, who thinks
in terms of movement, sinewy in his
crush< thinking, who strikes as it were
instead of debating, and instinctively
resorts, in international matters, to
the lynch law of the ''big stick" is
too emphatically western for our class
ifications. There is at times some
thing Bismarckian about him. Bis.
marck also was muscular man, de-
ficient in sensibility, and for all his
ability, emphatically not intellectual.
But as the Nation recently pointed
out, in comparing the two men, there
preaching tradition which separates
him by whole world from Bismarck.
A belief in force unites them. But
Bismarcks force was veiled in none
Of the Elusive idealism that haunts
the New Englander. The typical con-
tradiction that makes the piquancy of
Mr.. Roosevelt is his ardent advocacy
of international arbitration, followed
in few days interval by a message to
Congress advocating a great navy.
The Sabbatarian tradition is deeply in
grained in him. The sentiments prop
er to the seventh day jostle, forever
without confusing the more practical
maxims of the six day week. This
implies neither rational inconsistency
nor hypocrisy but merely a man who
is the mouthpiece of every emotion
that comes his way. He attempts in
his battle with the trusts TO avoid
any clear issue of economic principle
by explaining that the enemy is not
capital, nor yet monopoly, but simply
immoral wealth have the hallmark
of the same tradition. These con-
venient moral categories are destined
to give their special coloring to all
the Rooseyeltian policies. The stir
ring foreign policy, however much it
may do the biddings of occult finan-
cial powers, will never wear the ap-
pearance of a conscienceless worship
of force, it will always be stated in
Old Testament terminology with a
suggestion of the proyidential in all
its dealings with the Moat of the Phil
lippines and the Edom of Central
America. Nor will the war upon the
trusts ever come to acquire the flavor
of quasi-Socialistic adventure. The
trusts will be combatted always as
moral evils and never as economic
tyrannies. The muscular man is also
the ethical man. He sees the world
as action, as evil, as good, where the
intellectual sees it as a complex OF
causes and forces. Striding over the
continents, trampling on the sensi-
bilities of Egyptians, stirring up the
old sun dried world of Rome, touching
on Frances gratest problems facile
word at his lips, chronicler at his
elbow, Mr.. Roosevelt is supremely,
typically, the natural muscular man.

SATURDAY, FEB. 18th. 1870.

The editor of the PILoT in this
issue told of trip to Jenny, of which
We give salient points. He said:
On Wednesday last some dozen
couples Of ''old settlers" left Wausau
to make their sister village, Jenny, a
visit, We local and better half included.
We started at one o'clock and as the
day was mild and pleasant all were in
the best Of spirits in anticipation of
pleasant ride, and the enjoyment of
social and happy time generally. 1t
was our fortune to take a seat in the
Jenny Express A. Poor, proprietor,
and although the driver was A Poor
one, the team was good one and
did travel. AS it was the first time
we had been north of Wausau for
several years, we had but little idea
of the Improvements that had been
made in the country or the increase
in the population of our county and
therefore went prepared to ''take
notes. even greenbacks, should they
be rendered. About a couple of miles
from town we Unexpectedly came up
on village of good dimensions and
thickly settled, the inhabitants being
native Americans.
In passing the old Marshall place
we were reminded of old and happy
times, and the changes that had taken
place within the last twelve years.
This place is now owned by VIM.
Schwaff, has been greatly improved
and is now one of the finest farms in
the county. After ride of nine
miles we arrived at Trappe mills

BOUGHT FACTORY.

Louis Scharbau on Friday last made
purchase of the Chicago Excelsior
Co.'S property in the southeastern
part of The city. The purchase in
cludes the factory building and eight
and one-half acres of land. Mr.. r.Schar-
bau intends to plat about four acres
into lots and place them on the mar
ket. The balance of the property
sill be held for the present at least
as factory site. Mr.. Schrrbau had a
lease of the building last season and
intended to convert it into shingle
mill, but later changed his mind.
The location is excellent from the
view point of manufacturer, mas
much as shipments can be made over
either road.
In tliat period from 1891 to 1893,
when the city was offering bonuses
for the location of new industrial
ins titutions, company was induced
to come here TO open a coffin and
casket, mandatory, and the above
site was given that company. A
building was erected, but instead of
manufacturing wooden oyercoats the
company installed machinery for the
manufacture of picture moulding.
The panic was just beginning to be
felt, and the product of the factory
was like hens teeth-yery limited.
The industry died in its embryotic
state as did several others at that
time. Fifteen or more years ago the
Chicago Excelsior Co. purchased the
property. The old factory was later
destroyed by fire and the present
building was erected and occupied by
that company until about two years
ago. when the machinery was moved
to Green Bay.
