spring classes will shortly begin

dorsed by leading physicians every
where. Free scholarships in the two
years course are available and provide

and wholesome conditions and opens
the way to almost immediate financial
betterment for those who need to in
crease their earning power.
A special short course class opens
February 24th, 1911. This class is
formed at the request of lea ding
physicians who are anxious that some
provisions be made to meet the in
creasing demand for nurses in all
sections. This is an opening which
will be appreciated by those who
need to quickly prepare themselves
for self-support and nursing duty.

CORN SHOW AT MOSINEE.
Over 100 Exhibits in at Capacity
Attendance Out

Paronto's hall has the appearance
of the agricultural building at the
Marathon county fair today, the
opening day of Mosinee's first corn
show. Over 100 exhibits of corn,
potatoes, wheat, barley and other
crops had been received up until noon
and the management has been on the
jump every minute to get them listed
and tagged. The attendance this
morning greatly exceeded the expec-
tations of those who have had the ar
rangements in hand. The ball was
filled to its capacity and everyone
present seems to take keen interest
in the program. This forenoon E. d.
Gibbs, of Fox Lake took up the time
in paper entitled "How / Became
Dairyman and What l Have
Learned" His discussion of the mat
ter was given in good, logical language
and we know that he impressed upon
the audience the fact that there is
money in the dairy business if it is
gone at right.
The attendance this afternoon and
tomorrow promises to be even larger
than the one today, and from the in
terest taken it is easily to be seen
that the corn show will be an annual
event in Mosinee hereafter.-Mo Mosinee

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

Thos. Fitzgerald was brought to
this city Wednesday nishJ from the
Brokaw paper mills, and taken to St.
Mary's hospital where he passed away
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was employed on
the second floor. A hole in this floor
was covered with canvas to keep
the heat from below permeating the
atmosphere above. In his work Mr..
Fitzgerald happened to step onto this
canvas and fell to the floor below, re-
sultihg in a broken neck. A physi-
clan from Wausau was summoned,
who did all he could to alleviate the
suffering of the man, but it was fore
gone conclusion that death was in
evitable.
Deceased was fifty-eight years of
age and came to this county when
ten years of age, residing near Haider
for many years. From this county
he moved to Marshfeld, and eight
years ago came to Wausau with his
family. He was twice married, his
first wife dying sixteen years ago.
He was later married in Marshfield.
He was the father of eleven children,
all of whom survive him, as does his
wife. The remains were taken to
Halder Saturday for burial.

Yesterday morning John f. Bartlett
and his son-in-law and their families
''tied loose" from this place and left
for Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mr.. Bartlett
was one of the pioneers of Mara

one of the best farms in the county.
He afterwards sold his farm and
went into trade and last fall was

The other day while in the residence
of Hon. w. d. McIndoe we saw in
his library hat rack which to us was
great. Is was of black walnut some
higher than ones head and the pedes-
tai handsomely decorated, but the
unique part of it was the places to
hang the hats, ETC., which consisted
of three large buck horns, the finest
we have ever seen-one in the center
at the top and one on each arm of
the cross with spreading antlers. 1t
was manufactured at the furniture

A TYPICAL SLAM"

Lincoln county people are agitat-
ing the question of building new
JAIL They need one or more up there
bad, especially in the county seat.
There will undoubtedly be another
fight, or rather a continuation of the
old fight, between the east and west
sides as to which secures it.
The above from the Wausau Pilot,
is typical Wausau "slam," correct
ly in line with the apparent delight
of some of the people of our neighbor
ing city to the southwark. While
things were in an unsettled condition
here, it seemed the delight of our
Wausau neighbors to ''spread the
news" of another big scrap at Merrill,
and really not only did more to spread
the report that Merrill people were
scrappers, but did not hesitate to
largely overdraw the conditions, even
when they were at their worst. The
old desire crops out every little while
still indicating sort of delight in
other peoples misfortunes, and "sig-
ing on' all the time.
But your trolly is off this time,
Bro. Thayer, for there isnot "another
fight" or any continuation of the
old fight" for the people Of Merrill
never were SO bad as painted, and
with an awakening to the conditions
dropped all those old misunderstand-
ings and today there is no city in
Wisconsin where there is greater
harmony, than right here in Merrill.
We have no "east side," or "west
side," but it is all just merrill"
from the fartherest point eastward TO
the fartherest point westward. Re-
member, Bro. Thayer, just Merrill"
There was no public diversity of opin-
| ion on the location of the postofiice
site, in the practical center of the
city. The location of the Carnegie
library building in the park, in the
center Of the city, met no opposition.
The movement TO spend S25, 900 for a
public park in the center of the city,
was practically unanimous PROPOSE
tion, and in the location Of the site
for the new Jail, the people took no
hand. 1t was decided by the county
board, and the people approve, how
ever much to the discontinue of our
Wausau neighbors it may be.
And thus it goes. Merrill people
are for Merrill all the time, and by
and by Brother, when the sign is
right, you will see the fruits Of this
harmony is an onward march that
will make our neighbors sit up and
take notice.
You have another guess coming,
Brother Thayer.-Merrill Star Adyo-
cate.
Really, Bro. Allen, that squib was
not intended for slam, but just a
bit Of pleasantly. However We will
be more careful in the future.

AS TO "KRISSMUS." /"

Christmas falling on Sunday this
year, will be celebrated on Monday.
Every place of business in the city
will be closed the latter day. This
will be tough on those who celebrate
what they call "Little Christmas, .
or the day following Christmas. This
year they will have to put the two in
to one bag. There are some people
who celebrate for week. The writ
er once lived in a section inhabited
largely by people of northern Europe.
These people always put in at least
one and sometimes two weeks in
celebrating this event. Dressed in
the most outlandish, clothes they
could get, the sexes often exchanging
garments, they would meet at cen
tralspoint. Each would have his or
her features covered with a mask,
and then they would set out and visit
neighbors. AS these visits were ex-
pected there was always a plentiful
supply of eatables and drinkables in
each house, which were doled out
with a liberal hand. 1t was Gus
tom these people brought with them
from foreign land. The rising gen.
GRAFTON did not indulge in it so much
as did their elders.
Nearly every christian nation has
ways of observing Christmas peculiar
to itself. We of the United States
look upon the day largely as one on
which we should spend our money
like Coal Oil Johnnies, or, to be more
correct, we do our spending before
hand. In many cases other members
of the family take pity on us and to
save us the trouble, do our spending
for us. The Americans also look up
on it as day for gormandizing and
flirting with dyspepsia, a,-"Eat, drink
and be with Mary, for tomorrow she
may want divorce" In some re-
spects the people of this nation are
subjects for the wheelhouse. The
money spent for trifies at each Christ
mas season could be put to
better use, but we are not going to
try to correct any national evils.
We know of nothing which is going
to be pulled off in Wausau to make
this years Christmas out of the or
dinary-just the same old thing.
The churches will have their services,
exercises and trees the same as usual.
On Monday, if the day is fair, there
no doubt will be many people out.
The sleighing and skating are excel
lent, and it wouldn't make US very
sore if we had the nickels that the
street railroad will pickle that day.
The day will result in several fam
lily reunions, and good many chill
dren who have been away from the
old fireside, will stick their feet
under paws and maw's table, while
the edibles go cellarward.
There will be some big feeds at the
hotels and restaurants, and many
families will take their dinners there,
instead of putting Angie to the
trouble of spelling one herself. The
patients at the county asylum, those
living at the poor house and the bad
eggs locked up in the county Jail will
all get something better than calves
liver to eat, and at the two first men,
toned institutions real Sanity Klaus
with store whiskers, will appear and
empty his sack. The asylum patients
will have a dance, too.
A number of dances and social af-
fairs are scheduled for next week.
