Nineteenth Ballot.
From the Fifteenth ballot condi-
tions were practically unchanged. In
the nineteenth the Gray boosters did
business by pushing their favorite to
the front. He registered % votes
though Kuhn and Null both remained
ahead with 4S each. The ballot stood !:
Kuhn IS; Null IS; Gray %: FEEDER
man IL.
Twentieth Ballot.
Wayne county partially abandoned
Kuhn on this ballot, dividing her
twenty-six votes between Kuhn and
Gray. The result of the ballot: Kuhn
SO; Gray, Al; Null, 81.
Gray Nominated.
The twentieth told the tale. Gray's
friends rose to the occasion and the
excitement was at its greatest height
The Kuhn supporters decided that
Null should be defeated if Kuhn could
not win and they rallied to the Con
nersville man. Gray, therefore. car
ried off the plum with Il votes.

SAVED BY A
LUCKY CHANGE
Popularity Covers Many States
Of the Union.

Because newspapers throughout the
country are publishing scores of testi-
monials from people whom Root Juice
has cured or greatly benefited, there
can be but little doubt regarding the
unusual curative merits Of the remedy.
Newspapers all over the country are
publishing news of many Of the re-
markable cures the discovery is max
ing and there are but few localities
that have not reported some great
good from the use OF Root Juice.
From Bedford down in the southern
part Of Indiana, the proprietor of the
Owl Drug Store wrote the Root Juice
people that Mrs. Sam White. of north
! street, said: II had quit taking med
icine, dismissed my doctor and pre-
pared to die, when heard of the
great discovery called Root Juice. l
sent for some OF it, and before I had
finished taking the first bottle, I was
able to sit up In bed. The doctor said
had cancer Of the stomach don't
know what is was, but Root Juice soon
cured me. and I can't say enough In
favor Of It."
Frank Brown Of 81: East Fourteenth
street. Bedford. Indina. said: Il had
stomach trouble for years. and tried
many doctors and medicines without
much benefit. but after taking Roo,
Juice = short while. was free from
pain and annoyance. and could eat and
sleep. I soon became strong and vel
and wouldn't take any sum for what
the great medicine did for me-"
Il seems that Root Juice benefits
every one who takes It q short while
The tonic virtues OF the medicine arr
amazing. It Is also very soothing t
the stomach. bowels and kidneys.
The Luken & Co. drug store Is per
haps the best place to get information
regarding the regnsdy.

NORTHWESTERN ENGINEERS
HERE.

A crew of Chicago & Northwestern
engineers arrived in the city Monday
morning and are now engaged in es-
tablishing preliminary survey be-
tween Rothschilds and this place.
What the results of this will be is
problematical, but it is intimated
that the Northwestern road contem-
plates building into this village. If
the report is borne out by future de-
yelopments it will be most welcome
news to the people of this section as
1t will give us the much needed i'm
provement in our railroad facilities
that some of our optimistic people
have long been looking for.
The Wausau Sulphate Fibre COM
pany's plant will increase the freight
to that extent where it is profitable
for another road to enter the village,
but whether the Northwestern, if it
does build here, will extend it's line
on through TO connect with their line
elsewhere is mere conjecture. How
ever, developments will be awaited
with keen interest as more railroads
mean better freight and passenger
service, better train service and a
stimulus to all branches of business.
Whoop 'er up for the Northwestern.
Times.

RUSHING THINGS.

Ihe Wausau Sulphate Fiber Co. is
installing a temporary lighting plant
at Mosinee, SO that work can be carried
on at night if necessary. The base
ment walls for the power house have
been completed and steel for the
saperstructure is arriving. OF the
work on the dam the Mosinee Times
says: The eight piers on the east
side OF the guard lock have been COM
pleted and the forms for the remain
Ing eight piers are up. The work Of
hlling these will be started tomorrow
and will take about ten days to COM
plete. These eight piers, between
which the six sluice gates will swing
are twenty-six feet high above the
crest, or between the bottom of the
gates to the reinforcing beams. The
openings between the piers are u
feet wide and will be closed. with
wooden stop plugs, excepting the six
openings in which the sluice gates
will hang. The top will be covered
with a fifteen foot wide reinforced
concrete floor with railings on each
side. When finished the top of the
guard lock will be about even with
the high bank on the west side. On
the east side steps will be placed
for the accommodation of pedestrians.

be turned over when the road was COM
pleted. One day Richards drove up
TO the land Office and informed Mr..
Ellis that he wanted to look over the
papers, for the purpose of verifying
some of them. They were handed to
him and when Mr.. Ellis back was
turned, Richards pocketed the papers,
jumped into his buggy and drove to
Plover the county seat, where the
papers were filed for record in the
register of deeds office.
1t is needless to say that the rail-
road fell through, and that investors
lost what they had put into it. 1t
was an instance of ''high finance" in
early Wisconsin history.
In 1862 public meeting was called
in this city, and delegation of five
of our most prominent business men
was sent to Milwaukee, to confer
with the management of the st. Paul
road. These gentlemen offered Pres.
Mitchell bonus of $50, ,OOOifhe would
extend his road from Berlin to Wau-
sau, but he declined the offer.
The next effort towards getting
railroad into this county resulted in
the end sought, being obtained. In
the early '70's the Wisconsin Valley
Railroad Co. was incorporated. The
work of actual building began at
Tomah, and from Monroe county the
road was extended northward, passing
through Grand Rapids. After it
reached Knowlton in this county, a
large body OF Wausau citizens went
to Knowlton one day and from there
to Grand Rapids over the new road,
where great celebration was held.
1t meant the opening of the valley to
the outside world. The late ]. NJ.
Smith of this city, had contracts cov-
ering the largest portion of construc-
tion work on this road. The road
reached Wausau Oct 81, 1874, but
regular trains did not begin to run
until Nov. 9of that year. Wednes-
day, Nov. IL, was a gala day in Wau-
sau. A train, with officials, and a
large number of invited guests, was
met at the depot by procession,
headed by our cornet band, the fire
department and the best the town
could afford Great dinners were
served at Forest and Music halls.

people had travelled to Wausau by OK
and horse team through wilderness
and for years their supplies had been
subject TO the same means of convey
ance. They had, in measure, been
shat out from the points of trade.
The people of today can hardly realize
what the first railroad meant to
them.
The PILoT shows above what is
believed TO be the only picture of the
first railroad train TO enter Wausau.
The train is a crude looking affair in
comparison with the rolling stock on
present day up-to-date railroads, but
still the present owners of the road
have not made much advancement
We show also the type of loco
motive used on this road in the year
1874. These locomotives were wood
burners, and brought trains into the
