IRON ORE EXPERT HERE.

w. T. Mccarthy, an ore expert
from the iron country in northern Min.
nesota has been in this vicinity for
the past few days, examining some
ore prospects near BiTon and Rudolph
He looked over some lodges of pecu-
liar looking ore on the farm of Tom
McGraw near Biron, on Sunday, and
pronounced it bog ore and stated
that if it could be found in large
enough quantities, it would pay to
mine it, but did not think there was
much of it in this instance on ac-
count of it's close proximity to the
river. He filled a couple of small
sacks with the stuff and will make
an assay of it later on.
1t is almost impossible to do any
extensive prospecting at this time
on account of the weather conditions
and very little could be learned as
to the value of the property as a
consequence. Mr.. Mccarthy has a
diamond drill at work a short dis
tance south of Rudolph where there
are a1so indications of iron ore de

R0BT. @. BR0WMAN
VERY POPULAR

The entertainment at the Lincoln
High School. given by the. famous i'm
personator, Robt .. BroWmap, was
great treat and was high class in
every respect. Nh. BrowUan is one
of the best impersonators in the coun-
try. and does not generally make
cities of this size, and only consented
to appear here through the efforts Of
the teachers in the high school. Mr..
BroWman impersonated the characters
of Jew, a German politician,
HooSier farmer, and other subjects
using an appropriate dialect in each
instance The impersonations were
excruciatingly funny and evoked
roars of laughter from the audience.
His depletion of the character of Shy
lock in the Merchant of Venice, was
superb and indicated that he is an
actor of the first order. Taken as a
whole the entertainment was the very
best of its kind ever seen in our city.
and it is matter of regret that the
audience though appreciatiye was SO
small.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

The Ministerial Association Of our
city at its regular monthly meeting

passed some five years ago, rela
tive to Sunday funerals expressing
itself as a body for the sake of
the liverymen, undertakers and all
concerned, as being opposed to all
Sunday funerals, except where it
was absolutely necessary. It is earn
estly hoped by the ministers that
the several congregations will aid
them in every possible way to avoid
all unnecessary labor ON Sunday.

HEAVIEST
TAX PAYERS
All Those Who Pay Over $50
Tax are Listed Below.

Through the kindness of Sam
Church, city treasurer, we are able
to append the following list of tax
payers who pay tax of $50 and over
1t is interesting in the fact that it
shows from whom the larger part of
the taxes come from. 1t has been
noticeable to-the writer and we pre-
sumo that all taxpayers who have
called upon the city treasurer the
past month, how business-like and eff.
ficient the City Treasurer has his
work systematized SO that he can
very readily tell anyone what the a.
mount of their taxes is. Mr. Church
has taken excellent care of the city's
funds and has been oblfging and ef
ficient in the discharge of his duties
and We take pleasure in commencing
him aC an ayon1laot official.

GRAND RAPIDS
LINE PAYS
New Street Railway Between
Grand Rapids and Nekoosa
Receiving Splendid Patron

The Grand Rapids Interurban
Street Railroad, which has been in
operation for the past thirty days,
is reported as being most literally
patronized. The rolling stock at
present consists of but one car,
which makes hourly trips. The line
connects four water powers and four
paper mill towns, and, judging from
present patronage, it bids fair to be
one of the best small interurban
roads in the state.-Wausau Record
