GOT CAUGHT.

AS Edward Brundage and wife,
strangers in the city, were about to
leave town Friday on ST. Paul train,
their trunk was seized by one of the
sheritf's force and they were detained
and brought back up town. This ac-
tion was taken at the request of
Bernard Riebe, with whom they had
been stopping while in the city.
Shortly after their departure from the
Riebe home that morning a bed quilt
was missed. When their trunk was
opened not only was the quilt found,
but also silk skirt belonging to Mrs.
Riepe and coat owned by Mr.. Riebe.
The couple were brought into Justice
Il. N. Larners court, where the man
entered plea of guilty and was as
sessed a fine of IS and costs, which he
paid. Both were quite young, looking
more like kids than married people.
II they were just married, their
method of collecting household neces-
stiles is out of the ordinary, and
costly.

SATURDAY, ocr. %, 1869.

At the head of the paper today we
place the name of our candidate for
member of assembly, Hon. G. Hoef-
llnger, who has. once ably represented
this district in the legislature. In
speaking of him the Milwaukee News
says:
THE democrats of Marathon and
Wood counties have nominated G.
Hoefiinger for the assembly. Mr..
Hoefiinger is a gentleman of excellent
abilities, of strict integrity and much
experience in public life. He will
make o creditable representative in
the legislature"
Rev. Thos. Greene, county superin-
tendent of schools, made his annual
report in the issue of the Pilot of
/ Oct. 23d, 1869. In brief, he stated
that the fall examinations had been a
success. that during the year eighteen
schools had been furnished with
Guyet's large wall maps; four with
full sets of small wall maps, and i've
with Percy's magnetic globes; nine in
! the county have good globes; that
two new school districts had been or
ganized 4, in the town of Maine,
and No. 5, in the town of Wausau, in
which new school houses are now
being built; that there are now in the
county forty-eight school houses
eleven good frame houses, thirty three
| log houses, and four that ought to be
replaced that in the village we have
lone graded school with three depart
ments, all in successful operation un-
der charge of w. o. Butler, ESQ.,, an
experienced and successful teacher;
that he has visited all but four schools
In the county the past year; that he
was prevented from visiting those
four because of the bad condition of
the roads caused by the tornado
which had visited that part of Wis
consin: that the whole number of Wis
its was 6S; that the people of Mara
thon county had good reason to be
encouraged and to engage in the work
of education with renewed energy.

HE is ILLITERATE.

Leo. Munion of Moon, aged nine
teen years, arrested on burglary
charge, appeared in circuit court Sat
urday morning and entered a plea of
guilty. He was sentenced by Judge
Reid to serve term of two years i'll
the state penitentiary.
According to the boys story he met
VIM. Daschner and Chester Brockway
on the night of March "a, while on
his way home. They informed him
that they were on their way to rob
Dennison. Liver & Coerper's store in
the village, and invited him to take a
part, which he agreed to do. The
other two, broke into the store, while
he remained outside as guard The
boys stole some shoes, canned goods
and quantity of pennies. They
went into a lumber yard and ate the
canned goods, but left shoe box
which had contained pair of shoes
sold to Munion the night before. This
shoe box was remembered by clerk
in the store as being the one sold TO
Munion. When he was arrested he
implicated the others, and they, too,
were arrested. Though the boy was
born in this country he can neither
read or write. The children in the
family appear to have been neglected
in more respects than one. The boys
sister was recently sent to the Home
of the Good Shepherd, after telling a
story of immortality and lewd prac-
tices almost beyond belief. And yet
she is in her teens. The officers say
that there ought to be some house
cleaning done in that locality, and it
will probably come soon.

Judge Higbee of Lacrosse rendered
a decision few days ago which will
interest all fishermen In the state. A
farmer brought suit against fisher

decision, held that the fish and streams
of the state belong to the public and
not to individuals He held that
even though stream passes through
a mans lard, that man has no author
ity TO step anyone from fishing in IL
so long as fisherman don't fish from
the BANKS Of the stream. AS long as
the fisherman wades the stream no
one has right to modest him. This
decision is of great interest TO trout
fishermen.

PLANT SHRUBBERY.

The county board public property
committee, composed of Messrs. j. N.
Manson, A. j. Cherney, w. w.
Thayer, w. N. Daniels and Chas.
Zarnke, met Friday and Saturday. A
quantity of wood at the county Jail
was measured and visit made to the
county home and hospital. The main
feature of the meeting was to arrange
with the Henry Lake & Son Co. of
Black River Falls for improvement of
the court house grounds as previously
ordered by the county board. The
firm was represented by A. L. Perry,
and contract entered into. Mr..
Perry submitted plans which were
approved by the committee. Accord
ing to the terms of the contract the
firm is to plant the shrubbery and to
replace free of cost any trees which
may die in the next two years. The
nursery firm will receive S275 for its
part in the contract. The work of
setting out the shrubbery viii begin
as soon as weather conditions will
permit.
The band stand will be removed
from the square, and it is expected
that some agreement will be entered
into between city and county officials
whereby jointly they will engage a
man to keep the square in apple pie
order. The man will be required not
only to look after the shrubbery but
TO sweep the cutters clean, keep the
grass wet down, and the grass being
wet will keep people from using the
lawn as lounging place.
With good Judgment and care exer-
cised the court house square can be
made beauty spot.

Announcement is made else
where Of the candidacy Of Mr..
Charles H, Stanley for Congress,
and we believe it will be receiv-
ed with satisfaction throughout
this Congressional District. Few
men in the State are more wide
ly and favorably known than Mr..
Stanley. His reputation as a
lawyer, his forceful character
and his public spirit should en-
title him to some recognition by
the party which he has so long
and unselfshly served. He
would represent his people with
ability and honor, and being a
man of mature years, could, per-
haps, do more to promote the
best interests of our section at
this time than anyone who might
be chosen.

STAY IN MARYLAND.

There are large number of
farming-land booms being
enthusiastically promoted in one
part or another of this big coun-
try says the Baltimore American.
Alluring invitations to come
down or come out are being ex-
tended from Southern Florida,
East Texas, West Texas, Arizona,
California, Oregon, the West
Canada provinces and, in fact
from scores of new land locali-
ties. The promises of result are
almost invariably so exaggerated
that no level-headed prospector
should be fooled by them. Those
who will take the trouble to in
vestigate will rarely fail
to discover that the rainbow
hued promises are either based
upon fiction or else upon such a
combination of favoring circum-
stances as will not apply gener-
ally to the farming opportunity
yet available. In many of the
Far West localities where farm
lands are being offered after the
newcomer pays for the land
he must buy his water, not once
and for all, but over and over
again annually.
1t is not to be denied that an
energetic man with a little
capital and plenty of patience
and good staying qualities may
make money by buying 40 or 60
acres of land in Texas, Arizona
or California. But with the
same amount of outlay, backed
by i like amount of plucky enter
prise, the same man could pro-
badly make more money by buy
ing his farm in Southern Mary
land, or, for that matter, in any
other part of the state. Mary
land, it must be remembered, is
close to the big city markets,
while Taxas, Arizona and Cali
fornia are from 1,500 to 1900
miles away from the great East
Coast cities. Being close to the
great markets is an enormous
advantage. Therefore, stay in
Maryland, young man. If you
travel farther, the probabilities
are that you will do worse.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1910-05-13
THE PARCELS POST AND THE
COUNTRY MERCHANT.

Whenever the bill for the
parcels postcomes up in Congress
there is a great out-cry about
the country merchant. A parcels
post, it is said, will ruin the
country merchant. The country
merchants are not making the
outcry. 1t is the express COM
panies. They overcharge the
country merchants and Cypress
them to the full extent of their
opportunities and get behind the
country merchants to protect
their monopoly.
The parcels post would not
hurt the country merchant says
the Baltimore Sun. On the con-
tary, it would enable him to do
an order business for his patrons
and to retail country products
in the cities. A vast amount of
food goes to waste on every
farm at a time when people in
the cities, have to pay big prices
for it. The cost of transporta-
tion and distribution is too great.
A family in London makes an
arrangement with a farmer to
send dozen fresh eggs by mail
every morning or two. Boxes
for thisrpurpose are made, and
the cost of carrying a dozen eggs
from any part of England to the
front door of a house in London
is 2 I'D, or 5 cents. The
London family can get a pound
of fresh butter this way, and
other articles of food can be OBJ
tained in the city by this quick
and inexpensive method. Both |
the consumer and the farmer
m this country would profit |
enormously by this plan. !

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP
Domestic Secret Disclosed When the
Guests Could Not Be Served
With Pie.

She was a woman of resource and
ability and when her husband arrived
for dinner with an unexpected guest
she thought she had devised a way
to meet the fact that she had but one
piece of pie in the house and had in
tended her husband should have that.
She instructed him that when she
sent to the kitchen for dessert he was
to say he could not possibly eat any
more than he had eaten and then the
pie could be brought TO her guest
without his surmising that there was
but one piece in the house.
This might have worked out all
right If the pie had not been so ex-
ceedingly good and her husband had
not known this because he had it for
dinner the day before.
When the maid cleared away the
dinner dishes the master of the house
said he had no room for dessert.
The guest said he felt the same way.
Then, when the master thought it was
safe to do so, he changed his mind
and said after all he guessed he would
take dessert. The pie was brought
When it was half eaten the guest
said it looked so good he thought he,
too, would indulge
NO. you won't" said the hostess,
ana she told the tale of the pie.

Marriage Her Only Recourse.

In factories of the lower type the
girl operative is almost certain of dis
comfort, nervous exhaustion, disease
and premature old age. The lottery OF
marriage offers her way Of escape
from these things, says Robert Haven
Schauffler, in Success Magazine. So
she escapes. but at some risk to her
self, to the community and to the
America of the next generation.
How do American factory girls feel
about the marriage question?
Rather dubious All in all, they con-
slider mstrimony a profound failure.
So far as / can determine. only three
of them In every ten believe that more
marriages turn out happily than un-
happily.
But there is another question about
which many seem to be still more du-
bious. That Is the question of staying
single.
Marry"
Helen d. burst for a moment into
cynical laughter. Then the weary lines
came back around her mouth.
Why. I'd marry anyone to get out
Of this"
She was Just seventeen and small
for her age, but her features looked
twenty-seven. She stopped and
coughed necessarily, and her worn lit
tie hands would not be still.

MECHANICAL FAN ON CHAIR
Each Movement of Rocker Serves to
Make Device RevoIve by Means
of Gearing.

There are several kinds of chair
fans, but almost if not quite all of
them are of the sort that waves a
palm-leaf fan over the head. An Ohio
man has invented a revolving fan for
connection with a rocking chair that
seems to be an Improvement on all
of them. This revolving fan is held
over the head of the person sitting in
the chair by means of a curved metal
support. Running down the back of
the chair is a driving shalt which
connects with speed gearing under
the seat. There are two gearings, a
winding shaft and clutch and q ratch-
ct. the last named operated by rock
arms pivoted il one of the rockers of
the chair. AS the chair rocks forward
the ratchet is moved one way and
turns the gearing, which in turn oper-
ates the driving shaft and makes the
fan revolve. When the chair rocks
backward the ratchet is turned in the
opposite direction and the whole
